THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

the Perverted Forest

***

"Ahead of it is the Perverted Forest! Once we enter it, we should be ready to face the various Anim Beasts, but we will also try to avoid the fight!" said Luo Ying.

Fang An nodded his gaze towards the huge Forest in front of him. Currently the two were on top of a cliff so they could both see a stretch of dense forest in front of them.

"Sister Luo! I heard that in the forest there is a ravine called the Bottomless Gorge, are we going to pass through it?" ask Fang An.

"I'll try not to go through that chasm!" luo Ying replied.

"Why do you look so scared?" ask Fang An.

"Look at Fang's sister..!"

Luo Ying explained that if the Bottomless Gorge was a very terrible abyss, the gorge had an area of approximately 70 meters in total, its shape was round like a well hole, not to mention when passing through the edge of the abyss, there was a kind of great power emanating from within the abyss.

Everyone who had ever passed through the abyss would definitely feel it, and everyone thought that within the abyss there might be one extremely powerful beast within.

It could be that it was an Anim Beast that had the power of Earth 5, or perhaps an Anim Beast that had the power of Heaven. Therefore no one dared to cross the Bottomless Gorge for whatever reason.

"Why can there be such a strange abyss on this continent?" fang An muttered yet Luo Ying was able to hear him.

"Perhaps you don't know, but the residents of Wexhia Village know the origin of the ravine," Luo Ying said.

Wexhia Village is the village closest to the Perverted Forest. Although it was close, the village was never disturbed by the Anim Beasts, because they had an Earth 4 Anim Beast urine smeared at some point so that the Anim Beasts did not dare to enter, whereas the urine was obtained by a Cultivator who had abilities surpassing Yu Jing, yet no one knew who that person was.

"Have you heard his story?"

Luo Ying nodded then told Fang An about the origin of the Bottomless Gorge.

The gorge was created about hundreds of years ago, although basically the Perverted Forest is indeed one of the forests that has many Anim Beasts.

Initially the gorge did not exist, but one day the sky that should be bright suddenly turned cloudy because of black clouds that covered almost the entire forest area to several villages.

The closest village is Wexhia Village, and the former villagers are eyewitnesses to the phenomenon.

It should not be the time of the rainy season, but the black clouds that gather signify it will soon rain, and that is what the villagers expected.

After a long time it finally rained, but the villagers did not feel happy even frightened because the heavy rain brought a very large typhoon and lightning that struck and the sound of Thunder that was earthy.

As heavy rain and typhoons were accompanied by thunderbolts and thunder boomed, there was an enormous and dazzling lightning striking the interior of the forest.

The entire sky rumbled loudly and the intense sound of explosions from within the forest made a tremor created from an extremely violent shockwave.

Let alone humans who feel fear, even the Anim Beasts at that time were also frightened and ran to get out of the forest.

The lightning glowed bright white as it struck, after which the interior of the forest turned reddish due to the fire that burned almost a third of the forest.

Heavy rain did not extinguish the fire immediately, so the fire continued until two days and two nights, and after the fire was extinguished, the rain that flushed during that time also stopped.

The Perverted Forest back then was a little safe as the Anim Beasts who were more than half ran out of the forest.

When everyone reached the middle of the burning forest, they were all shocked to see a huge abyss deep in the middle of the forest.

Some Cultivators also felt that there was a faint radiance of power from within the abyss, they all assumed that within the abyss there might be a dying Anim Beast that made them all want to descend.

Over 15 Yu Zha-capable cultivators back then instantly jumped down into that extremely dark abyss, and a few others who did not dare could only wait.

Day after day passed, and it did not feel like it had been nearly a month since the Cultivators had descended but none of them had climbed back up.

There was precisely a huge radiance of energy from within the abyss increasing so much that they were all very confident that the Cultivators who numbered dozens of people died.

The two Cultivators tried to measure the depth of the abyss by throwing a huge rock inside, but after quite a while, they did not hear the sound of things falling at the bottom of the extremely dark abyss.

Some who had fire-elemented Magic Spell Paper also tried to throw the Paper into the abyss in order to make it look basic, but still could not.

Since then the gorge has been dubbed as the Bottomless Gorge. Some of the Cultivators who were still curious were still trying to descend, and the average of those who descended was not an indiscriminate Cultivator, but rather a Yu Zhu to the elite, but their fate remained the same, that no one can come back.

"An elite Yu Zhu can't return either?"

Fang An was very surprised to hear that, because an elite Yu Zhu possessed an extremely great ability, even they were able to fly, but if an elite Yu Zhu alone could not return, it was impossible to do so, isn't that abyss too horrible?.

"Fang An, if it was indeed that lightning that created that abyss, it might be one of the lightning bolts you need!" said Feng Huang.

"I mean teacher?" ask Fang An.

"Hearing the characteristics of that lightning which he said glowed dazzling white, it was probably one of the Five Lightning Core Sources scattered!" said Feng Huang.

"If that's true, then how do I get that Lightning Core Source teacher?" ask Fang An.

"The way to get it is to jump into that abyss, I'm sure that the radiance of that power is the radiance of the power of the Lightning Core Source that is at the bottom of the abyss!" replied Feng Huang.

"Is the teacher joking? We're gonna jump into that abyss? Master didn't hear earlier if an elite Yu Zhu just couldn't get out, let alone with me?" fang An said in disbelief if his teacher told him to descend or jump into the Bottomless Gorge, wouldn't that be tantamount to suicide? that's what Fang An means.

"I heard that too! But do you think I'm going to tell you to kill yourself? If you are willing to jump into the abyss, I will definitely protect you to keep you alive until you arrive at the bottom of the abyss," Feng Huang said.

"Teacher's words aren't very convincing! If the teacher is able maybe I can survive, but if it fails? Uh..! I still don't want to die!" fang An said.

"No Fang An! Trust me," said Feng Huang trying to convince Fang An.

Fang An only remained silent for a moment before he finally let out a long sigh as he said, "Alright I believe you, if it turns out that I am safe, then the sky still wants me to stay alive, so that is, but if I have to die..! Perhaps it was fate," said Fang An who finally resigned and would obey Feng Huang's desire to jump into the Bottomless Gorge later.

"Fang's sister! Why are you keeping quiet? Let's go," Luo Ying asked.

"Ah yes..!" replied Fang An.

The two immediately walked down the cliff by walking on the outskirts past the rocks to enter the Perverted Forest.

They did not go to the village of Wexhia because the village was far enough away and had to turn around if they wanted to go to the village, therefore they would directly enter the forest.

Fang An did not know for sure what would be going to block his journey in the forest, but he was very confident that after entering the forest there would be many obstacles that might be more dangerous than dealing with the Moon Shadow group or the Rebel forces.
