Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 428 - 426: Thunder Emperor’s Remains

In the center of the Primitive Old Forest, a collapsed area had been taken over by a vast Thunder Lake, where thunder surged, erupting with a series of roars.

From time to time, terrifyingly powerful lightning columns shot out from beneath the lake surface, like fountains, with Thunderous Liquid splattering, filling the sky with purple.

And at the very center of the Thunder Lake, in a place shrouded in purple mist, stood a grand and immense palace.

The palace was vast, its end not visible at a glance, resembling a small city, entirely built from giant purple stones, at least a hundred feet tall.

The sharp top pierces the clouds, and on the surface of the palace, large amounts of purple lightning lines dance across the purple stones, exuding a solemn and mysterious noble aura.

In front of the hall, layers of purple steps extend all the way down into the Thunder Lake, with a completely open gate at the top of the steps. Once through this gate, one could enter the grand hall.

"Big brother, this is very likely the Thunder Emperor’s bedchamber or place of cultivation, whether it’s treasures or inheritances, there’s a high chance it’s inside!"

Nangong Luo said excitedly, gazing at the open gate.

"Let’s go inside, but this Thunder Lake is no simple matter. You two stay close to me, don’t fall behind."

Feeling the aura exuded by the palace, Jiang Che was also excited. Just like his sister said, this place really might be the Thunder Emperor’s bedchamber, with a high possibility of the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance inside.

However, he also felt the Thunder Lake ahead was not simple, giving him a sense of danger, so he kindly reminded Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan nodded. They actually had some awareness of it, and now hearing Jiang Che say it, their vigilance increased even more.

Just as the three were about to move, a series of rumbles came from behind. Turning to look, they saw the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch, piloting the Great Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts, leading a group of demon elders over.

"It’s the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall again! They really are like lingering ghosts!"

Fang Yuan said, frowning in displeasure.

"This place is only so big; if we can find it, the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall surely can too."

Guardedly watching the approaching Ten Thousand Beasts Hall group, Jiang Che slowly said. He wasn’t surprised they came over; he figured other human ancient sects were also on their way.

"Patriarch, this place is very likely where the Thunder Emperor left his inheritance!"

Standing beside the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch, the White Fox Lady, gazing at the palace in the Thunder Lake, immediately spoke excitedly.

Behind her, a group of demon elders also stared straight at the palace, eager to move.

"Hahaha, good! It was worth waiting for it to fall into my hands!"

The Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch laughed heartily, the Thunder Emperor’s legacy right before his eyes, how could he not be pleased?

However, he hadn’t laughed for long before his expression turned sour, looking at Jiang Che and his companions not far away. He said coldly, "It’s just a few flies got ahead of me, how irritating!

You brats, this Thunder Emperor’s legacy is not something you can compete for. I’ll give you a chance: get out quickly, leave the Thunder Emperor Palace immediately and you might have a chance of survival. If you insist on being obstinate, you’ll bear the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che almost burst out laughing. This Ten Thousand Beasts Hall patriarch sure had a big mouth; from their previous battle, he hadn’t lost, hadn’t he?

"Old man, your mouth sure is big. If you want Tiger King Ridge to back off, fine, just defeat me first! But I’m afraid you don’t have what it takes!"

Jiang Che’s tone turned chilly as he rebuked him.

"How dare you!"

The Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch became furious immediately, his eyes widening in anger, and the aura around him was like a raging tide, spreading powerfully in all directions. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"If it’s a fight you want, I’ll accompany you to the end!"

Jiang Che remained calm, his icy tone unwavering, as he and the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch clashed fiercely, neither backing down.

With Xiao Zi’s assistance, even though Jiang Che was a step behind the patriarch in terms of cultivation, he wouldn’t be cowed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

At that moment, the sound of something tearing through the air came from the distant sky.

Both groups from Tiger King Ridge and the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall instinctively looked over, seeing people from the Shushan Sword Sect riding sword lights, rapidly approaching.

"It sure is lively! The demon clans want to fight amongst themselves, hahahaha!"

Xuan Jian and co. slowly descended, seeing the standoff from afar, and couldn’t help but mock.

The other Shushan Sword Sect members also wore amused looks, their eyes filled with disdain.

"You’ve got a lot of nerve. Do you Shushan Sword Sect wish to die?"

The Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch was already angered, but he knew he couldn’t take down Jiang Che, so he restrained from attacking. But now, hearing the Shushan Sword Sect’s provocation, he flew into a rage, allowing his oppressive aura to sweep over them.

"Humph, does the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall have what it takes?"

Xuan Jian sneered, his Immortal Sword bursting with a powerful force.

"Xuan Jian, don’t be rash..."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the patriarch, Xuan Xu’s expression turned serious as he quickly held back the impulsive Xuan Jian.

And just as the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch was about to confront the Shushan Sword Sect, he also stopped at this point. Getting the chance was crucial, and from the distance, a large mass of Spiritual Light was approaching — other ancient sects had arrived.

"Let’s go!"

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Che quickly led Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan towards the central palace in the Thunder Lake.

Rumble, rumble, rumble~

Suddenly, the previously thunder-churning lake surface seemed to sense those flying overhead, and erupted violently, the surface continuously exploding, and columns of lightning soared skyward, blocking their path forward.

Jiang Che directly summoned the Donghuang Bell, which descended in a purple light curtain. Faced with the lightning columns’ strikes, the purple light curtain only quivered without a single scratch, protecting Jiang Che and his companions as they swiftly flew across the Thunder Lake, landing before the gate.

Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall’s patriarch grew anxious, steering the Great Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts to fly over the Thunder Lake.

The Shushan Sword Sect and other arriving sects also hurriedly followed, using their sects’ treasured artifacts to forcefully traverse the Thunder Lake.

Seeking to secure the advantage, after Jiang Che landed at the gate, he pressed on without delay, leading his companions directly through the gate into the interior.

Inside the palace, was a vast space, glimmering with purple light. The purple walls were adorned with endless purple lightning patterns, and gigantic columns wrapped in thunder stood throughout the hall, supporting the lofty dome.

As the trio ventured deeper, they finally found within the depths of the hall, a nine-zhang tall platform made from purple thunder jade. At the top of this platform sat a skeleton that made the three’s pupils contract.

Thunder enveloped the skeleton, wrapped in purple light, exuding a terrifying aura like the majestic heavenly might during a Thunder Tribulation, causing hearts to tremble.
