"Fellow cultivators, the Immortal Spirit Pavilion is just ahead," Gou Jun, who was leading the way, suddenly announced loudly.
At this moment, they were only about twenty to thirty zhang away from the Immortal Spirit Pavilion.
Even with the continuous barrage of thunderbolts blocking their view, they could already catch a glimpse of the entire pavilion.
The Immortal Spirit Pavilion covered an area of approximately one li and had three floors. The first floor was about twenty zhang high, while the upper two floors were each five zhang high, totaling thirty zhang in height.
At the end of the stone steps was the grand entrance of the Immortal Spirit Pavilion.
The entrance was towering and majestic, nearly fifteen zhang high and ten zhang wide.
The two large doors were tightly shut, exuding an aura of solemnity and mystery.
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and the power of the Mystic Treasures they were wielding or the spells they were casting instantly increased by twofold.
"Boom!"
A thunderclap rang out.
Among the numerous thunderclaps, this one was not particularly noticeable, yet it was slightly different.
At that very moment, everyone saw the tightly closed doors of the Immortal Spirit Pavilion suddenly swing open.
A massive figure darted out from within the pavilion.
Gou Jun narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized it.
Thunder Falcon!
This beast's nest was actually the Immortal Spirit Pavilion.
The Thunder Falcon showed immense hostility toward the group of humans who had suddenly appeared at its doorstep.
With a flap of its wings, its massive body soared into the air. It ignored the countless thunderbolts falling from the sky and charged straight into the dark, cloud-covered heavens.
The Thunder Falcon emitted a silvery glow, and when the thunderbolts struck this glow, they were deflected like a waterfall encountering a protruding rock on a cliff, automatically veering away from the Thunder Falcon before continuing their descent.
Between the Thunder Falcon's wings, countless bolts of lightning surged.
As it flew above the eight cultivators, it suddenly flapped its wings, and these bolts of lightning converged into a massive pillar of thunder, striking directly at the group below.
"Beast, how dare you act so recklessly!" Yang Yu roared.
As he spoke, Yang Yu opened his mouth and spat out a small, delicate Square Cauldron.
The Square Cauldron grew with the wind, instantly expanding to a size of one zhang.
A red glow emanated from the Square Cauldron.
The originally dark black body of the cauldron quickly turned red, and in an instant, it became as red as if it had been heated by a blazing fire.
A terrifying high temperature radiated from the Square Cauldron.
Yang Yu formed a hand seal, and a golden pillar of fire erupted from the cauldron.
This golden pillar of fire, like the thunderbolts, carried a majestic heavenly might.
The golden pillar of fire shot skyward, heading straight for the descending pillar of thunder.
Fire and lightning collided in mid-air.
Sparks of fire scattered, and bolts of lightning filled the sky.
The pillar of fire disintegrated into countless golden sparks.
The pillar of thunder vanished into numerous tiny bolts of lightning.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, slay this beast!"
As soon as Yang Yu's words fell, a three-foot green sword soared into the air, darting left and right, nimbly weaving through the gaps between the countless bolts of lightning, untouched by any of them, and aimed straight for the Thunder Falcon's abdomen.
The Thunder Falcon's sharp eyes flashed with a cold light.
Just as the flying sword was about to strike, it flapped its massive wings.
The Thunder Falcon's enormous body moved as nimbly as a swimming dragon, suddenly changing direction and evading the incoming sword.
The flying sword turned around, ready to pursue.
At that moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, landing squarely on the flying sword.
The sword fell like a withered leaf.
"Damn it!"
Having missed with his full-force attack, Mo Yexue couldn't help but curse under his breath.
In this world of endless thunderbolts, the Thunder Falcon's home-field advantage was simply too great.
At that moment, the Thunder Falcon, which had just evaded the flying sword, suddenly showed a trace of panic in its eyes.
Unbeknownst to it, a Demon Subduing Pestle had emerged from behind, aiming directly at its tail.
The Thunder Falcon quickly flapped its wings, trying to create distance from the pestle.
Simultaneously, its sharp beak slightly opened, and a spherical ball of lightning began to gather in its mouth.
Just as the spherical lightning was about to be expelled, a wisp of pink smoke drifted in and entered the Thunder Falcon's nostrils.
The Thunder Falcon's body suddenly stiffened, and its speed drastically decreased.
Its sharp, blade-like eyes instantly became clouded, as if it had lost its mind.
The spherical lightning in its mouth also went out of control, exploding violently within.
In an instant, its beak was torn apart, and black smoke billowed out.
Before the Thunder Falcon could catch its breath, the Demon Subduing Pestle struck its vulnerable rear.
"Screech, screech, screech..."
At this moment, the Thunder Falcon's cries were no longer the rolling thunder but a shrill, mournful howl.
The immense pain instantly restored the Thunder Falcon's clarity.
It flapped its wings vigorously and soared into the sky, disappearing into the dark clouds. Only scattered flesh and blood remained, caught by the lightning and turned into black smoke.
With the combined efforts of Mo Yexue, Mi Hai, and Lan Chen, the Thunder Falcon was ultimately defeated and forced to flee into the clouds.
"Even the bloodline of a divine beast is nothing special!"
Gou Jun mocked, then continued forward, leading the group towards the Immortal Spirit Pavilion.
Suddenly, Gou Jun noticed that the falling thunder seemed to have become sparser.
He looked up with a puzzled expression.
Within the thick clouds, he vaguely saw a massive figure moving through the layers.
A sense of foreboding arose in Gou Jun's heart.
"Everyone, pick up the pace. It seems that beast isn't planning to let us off easily."
Hearing this, the group didn't hesitate, continuously attacking the thunder with various spells and Mystic Treasures.
The thunder was extinguished, but the residual energy, accompanied by waves of energy impacts, surged towards them like a violent storm.
This made their progress slow and arduous.
They had to proceed steadily, step by step, or risk being caught by the residual energy, losing control, and falling off the cliff.
Just as Gou Jun had feared, the decrease in falling thunder wasn't due to the weakening of the formation.
Instead, a small portion of the thunder had gathered without falling.
Within the dark, heavy clouds, a massive lightning bolt was forming.
This giant lightning bolt flickered in and out of the clouds, like a silver river piercing through the night sky.
A vast, heavenly might, accompanied by an aura of apocalyptic destruction, loomed over the group.
Moreover, this aura was continuously intensifying.
The group felt an overwhelming pressure, as if a towering mountain was bearing down on them, making it hard to breathe.
Everyone exerted their full Spiritual Power to resist the falling thunder, and their pace quickened slightly.
As the Immortal Spirit Pavilion drew closer, their anxiety grew.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens.
A massive silver waterfall of lightning pierced through the clouds, cascading down.
At that moment, it was as if the sky had been torn open. The silver electric plasma, like water from beyond the heavens, carried an endless aura of destruction, directly striking the heads of the eight.
No longer holding back, everyone unleashed their most powerful techniques.
Of course, these methods were not aimed at reaching the silver waterfall, but rather either to block the ordinary falling thunderbolts or to accelerate their escape techniques.
The formation of the eight-person team immediately fell apart.
