She shook her head and said,
“Let’s forget it. Pills like the Qi Recovery Pill are usually saved for critical moments.”
“As for me, I’ll be fine after a brief recovery.”
Lei Qianjiao’s words made Wu Tian chuckle. “I wouldn’t have guessed you’d be the thrifty type. I thought someone of your status would be extravagant.”
“It seems I’ve gained a new perspective on you. A woman like you would make a great wife!”
Lei Qianjiao’s pretty face immediately turned crimson. She then said with a hint of shy anger, “What nonsense are you talking about? If you say that again, I’ll get angry!”
Wu Tian smiled and said, “No, no, no! I was just joking to lighten the mood!”
“But speaking of which, take my advice and eat this Qi Recovery Pill.”
“This place is full of strangers. Who knows what might happen?”
“It’s safer to recover your strength as soon as possible, isn’t it?”
Seeing Wu Tian’s persistence, Lei Qianjiao hesitated no longer and swallowed the Qi Recovery Pill.
Within ten seconds, her depleted immortal energy was replenished.
Afterward, the two did not linger in the garden and continued deeper into the Holy Thunder Palace.
During this time, the sounds of fighting continued unabated.
It seemed that everyone was disregarding everything else in their pursuit of treasures within the palace.
However, Wu Tian had no intention of getting involved.
After all, his current strength was already formidable, and he no longer coveted many things. There was no need to snatch everything, lest he attract unnecessary trouble.
As they walked, they passed through numerous palaces and eventually exited the architectural area.
Looking ahead, they saw a cliff hundreds of meters high, seemingly marking the end of the Holy Thunder Palace.
At this moment, more than a dozen people were already gathered there.
Their gazes were fixed on the chasm below, and the atmosphere was exceptionally eerie.
Seeing this, Wu Tian felt a sense of strangeness.
With his curiosity piqued, he and Lei Qianjiao walked closer and also looked down into the chasm.
However, the moment they looked, they were stunned.
In that instant, both of them trembled violently!
Simultaneously, their minds went blank!
“What’s going on?” Lei Qianjiao murmured.
Below them, in the vast open space with a drop of hundreds of meters, a gruesome scene unfolded.
The ground was utterly devastated. Upon the ruins lay countless corpses, and dried bloodstains were everywhere.
It was like a scene from hell.
Among the bodies were those of humans and demonic creatures, many still locked in their final struggles.
The immense stench of blood wafted up from below, enough to disorient even the strongest of cultivators.
Undoubtedly, a cataclysmic battle had taken place here!
Lei Qianjiao’s beautiful eyes trembled, and she said with a scalp-tingling sensation, “Wu Tian, what’s happening? Why is it like this here?”
Wu Tian took a considerable effort to suppress his shock.
He said in a low voice, “Need you ask? This must be the battlefield from ancient times.”
“The disciples of the Holy Thunder Sect fought their final battle against the demonic creatures here, and not a single one survived.”
Hearing Wu Tian’s words, Lei Qianjiao gasped.
The fear in her eyes intensified.
Her gaze swept over the corpses of the Holy Thunder Sect members.
Undoubtedly, if their bodies had not decayed over the years, they must have been at least at the Immortal level.
Such power would have made them honored guests in the outside world.
Yet, here, they were reduced to corpses, forever slumbering.
It was evident how terrifying the battle must have been.
The two remained silent for a while, unsure of what to say.
After a moment, Wu Tian sighed and said, “Let’s go. We shouldn’t stay here.”
“Demonic creatures’ bodies are polluting. If we linger here too long, we might be affected.”
Lei Qianjiao nodded, preparing to leave.
However, as she turned, she noticed Wu Tian had stopped.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, looking up at him, sensing something unusual about his demeanor.
Indeed, Wu Tian’s eyes seemed fixed, as if he had just remembered something.
Lei Qianjiao called out to him twice, but he remained unresponsive. She then shook him and asked again,
“Wu Tian?”
Wu Tian snapped back to reality, his tone becoming somber. “Wait a moment, I think something’s happening.”
“Something’s happening?” Lei Qianjiao asked, confused. “What do you mean?”
Wu Tian frowned but did not reply immediately.
Even he didn’t understand why he had this strange feeling.
Just now, a strong sense of foreboding washed over him, as if a major event was about to occur.
The feeling came so suddenly that he was caught completely off guard, leaving him momentarily dazed.
But due to the intensity of this feeling, he couldn’t shake it off. He then said in a low voice,
“Wait for me. I’m going to check things out.”
With that, Wu Tian summoned his Thunderclap Sword and then leaped directly off the cliff!
“Hey, what are you doing!”
Wu Tian’s action startled Lei Qianjiao greatly.
The others were also taken aback, not understanding Wu Tian’s intentions.
Wu Tian landed lightly on the ground.
Immediately, dark energy began to emanate from the demonic creatures, surging towards him.
Wu Tian snorted, and his immortal energy formed a defensive barrier, blocking the dark energy.
He scanned his surroundings. Indeed, within this environment, the ominous feeling intensified.
An invisible pressure built up in his heart, making it difficult to even breathe.
He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, then suddenly let out a roar and plunged the Thunderclap Sword into the ground!
Instantly, the dark clouds in the sky began to churn violently.
Following that, dozens of heavenly lightning bolts descended, striking the corpses of the demonic creatures!
Everyone was shocked by Wu Tian’s actions!
However, in the next second, they were met with even greater terror!
