This came too suddenly. Fortunately, Xiao Chen condensed a Genuine energy in time to protect a few people. The few people were only sent flying by this terrifying impact and were not injured.

“Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, lightning clouds gathered from all directions and rolled down, destroying everything below, including the mountains and cliffs.

Anyone who doesn’t have time to escape, Even though they had already condensed their Nascent Soul in the past, and even though they had already transformed into spirits, they were like immortals in the mortal world. Outside, those cultivators who had only cultivated for several decades trembled when they saw them. And now, under the rolling thunder, they had also become those cultivators who had yet to reach Foundation Establishment in front of them in the past, unable to withstand a single blow.

“Rumble!”

Countless mountains were smashed to pieces, and countless people were also wiped out by the thunder. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was enraged, and all living things could only wait for destruction.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He flicked his sleeve and formed a Genuine energy. He rolled up the three people behind him and flew out. However, thunderclouds continued to gather from all directions. Heavenly lightning continued to descend. No matter how fast he was, it was impossible for him to escape this lightning.

“Rumble!”

Terrifying thunder rang out in their ears from time to time. Sometimes, a bolt of lightning descended from a few dozen feet away. If it happened to land on them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

You Qin and You Chang’s faces had long since turned pale. Along the way, they saw not only those mountain tops that had been destroyed by the thunder, but also countless people fleeing for their lives. In the end, they were all annihilated by the thunder. No one was able to escape.

Despair, a deep despair instantly enveloped the entire Thunder Marsh. Heavenly lightning continuously descended from all directions, and no one would be spared.

“No, we can’t go out like this …”

After another bolt of heavenly lightning landed nearby, Meng Xian’er’s face flashed with shock, but she quickly calmed down. With a flick of her hand, a white light flew out from her sleeve. However, the white light grew larger and larger in midair, and finally turned into a white jade lotus flower carved from ice sculpture jade.

This was the Ice Jade Lotus. Thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the Dream Immortal Sect had taken the 10,000-year-old Ice Jade from the Kunlun Mountains. It was extremely powerful. Meng Xian’er did not easily use the ancestor’s items. Now, she had no choice but to pinch the seal on her hand. The Ice Jade Lotus instantly magnified several times, allowing a few people to stand on the lotus platform.

“Come up!”

Meng Xian’er rolled up her sleeves and brought Xiao Chen and You Chang You Qin along with her. Following the incantation incantation, the Ice Jade Lotus instantly shone brightly and flew forward at an extremely fast speed.

However, even if the Ice Jade Lotus escaped with a few people, the rolling heavenly thunder was truly terrifying. It continued to strike down one after another, almost hitting the Ice Jade Lotus several times.

Amidst the dangers, Meng Xian’er had already pushed her speed to its limit, but looking at her pale face, it was likely that she would not be able to hold on any longer.

Xiao Chen moved and came behind her. He placed his palm on her shoulder and sent a Genuine energy into her body to relieve the loss of her Genuine energy.

“Thank you …”

Meng Xian’er furrowed his eyebrows and increased his speed a little, but it was still not enough. Every time he dodged lightning attacks or used magic treasures to block them, Genuine energy would be extremely exhausted.

About three hundred kilometers away, a large amount of thunderclouds suddenly gathered in front of them. The terrifying scene of the black clouds pressing down on them was truly frightening. It was as if the rolling thunderclouds had covered an area of ten thousand kilometers. Just lifting one’s head, it was as if they would touch the lightning in the clouds.

“Stop.”

Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed as he stared at the thundercloud in front of him. However, seeing the lightning in the clouds and the thunderous roars, even with a magic treasure like the Ice Jade Lotus, it was impossible for them to pass through.

Seeing that the thunderclouds behind them had also gathered, this time, they were unable to advance or retreat. You Chang and You Qin’s faces were deathly pale. Where were they going now? Thunderclouds gathered in all directions, where could they escape to? Could it be that he really is going to die in the Land of Thunder …

“Boom!”

A thunderclap sounded in their ears. From all directions, the thunderclouds were getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, they were going to devour and destroy them. At this moment, someone had to make a decision.

“Wait …”

Xiao Chen still pressed down on Meng Xian’er’s shoulder. The lightning cloud in front of him was too powerful. It was even more terrifying than the restriction in the Demon Palace back then. It was impossible for them to rush over. Unless he had a cultivation at the True Cave Stage, it would be extremely difficult for him to withstand such powerful heavenly lightning.

Meng Xian’er turned around and looked at him. At this moment, both of them seemed to have thought of something and said in unison, “Map.”

Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He immediately took out the map he had obtained from the Imperial City. The map hung in front of the two of them. The mountains on the map were clearly defined. At this moment, it was actually filled with thunderclouds, like a bright picture scroll.

“There is a mystery in the painting. Come from the other side of the landscape!”

Meng Xian’er suddenly read this sentence to the painting scroll. Then, he pointed two fingers together and poured a Spiritual Energy into the painting scroll. Afterwards, the mountains and terrain in the painting became three-dimensional and solid.

“As expected, it’s not just a map …”

Xiao Chen wasn’t surprised by the scene in front of him. He had already vaguely sensed that this map was definitely not an ordinary map. If his guess was correct, it would be the “Profound Realm in the Painting”.

“Open!”

Meng Xian’er’s Spiritual Energy alone was insufficient to open the painting scroll. Xiao Chen also pointed at the painting with his two fingers. In an instant, a white light shrouded the four of them like a door to the void, enveloping them in it.

When the mountains and rivers in front of them were clear, the four of them were still in the Land of Thunder. However, the Land of Thunder in front of them was no longer in the same danger as before.

“This, this …”

You Chang and You Qin were stunned. Obviously, they could also feel that this was no longer the place where Lei Ze used to be.

“This is the Profound Realm of the Painting.”

Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. He and Meng Xian’er had guessed correctly. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Spiritual Energy in the Land of Thunder was too strong and the sudden change had occurred, they might not have been able to discover the abnormality on the map, let alone smoothly open the Profound Realm in the painting.

The seemingly ordinary map was actually an ancient treasure, but Emperor City concealed it from Insatiable Azure Ming and disguised it as a map.

Now, it wasn’t strange why the Imperial City was so nervous about this map and wanted to retrieve it.

“Let’s go.”

Meng Xian’er glanced at him. Even though she had already arrived at the Profound realm of the painting, she no longer had to worry about the heavenly lightning outside. However, the Profound realm of the painting consumed the Spiritual Energy of the two of them. Once the Spiritual Energy of the two of them was exhausted, they would definitely be teleported out.

Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He had to leave the Land of Thunder as soon as possible before his Spiritual Energy was exhausted. Just like that, the four of them passed through the Land of Thunder in the Profound Realm of the Painting. After leaving the Land of Thunder, they continued to fly for a distance before leaving the Land of Thunder and returning to the outside world.

This was the power of the Profound Realm in the painting. If it was used to avoid enemies, it would be perfect. Even if it was used to travel through the painting, when it came out, it would still arrive at the location of the Profound Realm in the painting.

“Out … out?”

You Chang and You Qin looked around blankly. Although there were thunderclouds gathered, they weren’t as dense as before. The previous scene was truly too shocking. Although they were still within the scope of the sea of thunder, they were no longer as terrifying as the Land of Thunder.

Right at this moment, Xiao Chen walked up and took out the thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit from his sleeve. He handed it to the two of them and said, “Bring the Vermillion Fruit back.”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and You Chang asked, “Then … what about you?”

Xiao Chen handed Zhu Guo to him and turned to look in Lei Ze’s direction. “I can’t leave. Lei Ze’s abnormal movements may be caused by the earth vein …” he said.
