Chapter 1448 (Raw 1429):
Right now, it was night. The electricity that shot out from the bottom of the lake could be seen even from millions of kilometers away.
Furthermore, this was just the start. Shortly afterwards, all the lightning dragons exploded. The vast Misleading Fog Lake and the surrounding land instantly crumbled and sank.
Misleading Fog Lake vanished as the ground split apart, transforming the entire geography completely into a desolate sight.
Xiao Chen, who was knocked out of the small world, vomited a mouthful of blood. His ears buzzed, and he temporarily went deaf.
The blast of thunder ruptured his internal organs, putting him in pain.
The indistinct might of the lightning tribulation had yet to fade, spreading in the air and crackling nonstop.
Feeling some lingering fear, Xiao Chen automatically fled the place.
A Prime would be startled by this and rush over soon. Xiao Chen simply had not expected such a huge commotion. The might of the Divine Lightning Eye was shockingly strong.
Furthermore, this was the first time Xiao Chen executed this. There was plenty of room for improvement—and this was just the might of the first layer. If he could cultivate it to the second layer, there would be another lightning tribulation.
Xiao Chen simply did not dare to imagine the might that could erupt out.
This outcome truly lived up to a Supreme Magic Skill. Even after draining all his Magic Energy, he still could not successfully execute it. He also needed to use a third of his Primordial Energy.
Although the expenditure was high, Xiao Chen felt very satisfied. Compared to some huge killing moves, this Magic Skill's expenditure was within an acceptable range. At the very least, he could still keep fighting after using it.
However, he did not know if there were any aftereffects.
As Xiao Chen thought about it, pain suddenly flared in his right eye. He felt some tears flow out, so he removed his mask and wiped them away.
However, when he took a look, he was shocked. These were not tears. They were clearly black blood.
"This…"
Xiao Chen felt somewhat suspicious. However, this was not the time to think about it. He cleaned up the blood and put his mask back on. Then, he turned into a rainbow light flying away.
As Xiao Chen was leaving, the Spirit Fox King was rushing to Misleading Fog Lake in his true body.
The sight of the land stretching out for five hundred thousand kilometers changed beyond recognition and all the lake water vaporized shocked even a being like him. He did not know what had happened.
"Spirit Fox King, what happened? I felt the entire Fiend Domain trembling!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several major characters of the Fiend Domain arrived one after another. When they saw this scene, they all showed a shocked expression as they asked the Spirit Fox King about this.
The Spirit Fox King replied sullenly, "Probably some forbidden item that Misleading Fog Lake suppressed came out. However, I do not feel the aura of any Prime, so there is no need to panic."
"What's with the lightning in the sky?"
"That's right. To think that so much electricity came from the bottom of the center of the lake. Previously, we combed this Misleading Fog Lake very thoroughly but did not discover anything."
The Spirit Fox King's thoughts seemed to be occupied with something else. He waved his hand and said, "I'll personally investigate this matter. There is no need for you all to do anything."
When the Fiend Race powerhouses saw that the Spirit Fox King was taking on this responsibility, they did not say anything more.
When only the Spirit Fox King and the Peacock King remained, the Spirit Fox King sighed softly, "Before I arrived here, I saw the Shadowless Saber Sovereign leaving the Fiend Domain."
"What? The Shadowless Saber Sovereign?"
With a nod, the Spirit Fox King said, "Indeed, it is the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. However, Ying Zongtian asked us to take care of this person, so I did not make a move on him."
"Who exactly is he for the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian to give up the Saber Sovereign Medallion to him? Now, even Ying Zongtian wants to protect him."
The Spirit Fox King sighed softly and replied, "I don't know. Ying Zongtian did not say. However, since he asked, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign is definitely a friend and not an enemy. Although we do not know what happened at Misleading Fog Lake, with so many people paying attention, I won't be the only one to discover the Shadowless Saber Sovereign."
After thinking for a while, the Spirit Fox King said, "Do something to create some chaos and false information, shift the focus away from the Shadowless Saber Sovereign."
"Leave that to me," the Peacock King responded, smiling.
Xiao Chen, who was flying away quickly, did not know that the Spirit Fox King had detected his presence and helped him deal with the aftermath.
After the Spirit Fox King's gaze lingered on the scarred rubble of Misleading Fog Lake, he left.

The Mirage Immortal Palace was the most mysterious forbidden land of the eight great forbidden lands.
Normally, traces of it rarely appeared in the world. There were too many legends about it, harking back to the Ancient Era.
An endless stream of people had investigated this forbidden land, but there was still very little information about this place. They only knew that it was probably a Remnant of the Immortal Epoch. After that, it was occupied by a strong sect during the Immemorial Era of the Martial Epoch, becoming the foundation for that sect.
After this sect was destroyed for some reason, everything was eradicated, leaving only the Mirage Immortal Palace.
Aside from having the inheritances of that Mirage Immortal Palace sect, it also preserved the style of the Immortal Epoch perfectly.
There were Immortal Pills, Profound Beasts, Spells, Magic Skills, and many other things in all sorts of restrictions. The countless opportunities tempted the younger-generation cultivators into exploring this place.
However, not just anyone could explore this Mirage Immortal Palace. Even a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor might end up getting trapped in there and dying.
There were too many examples of people going there and never returning. Hence, this mysterious Mirage Immortal Palace gained infamy.
After spending two months rushing over from the Fiend Domain, Xiao Chen finally saw this famous Mirage Immortal Palace.
Where was the Mirage Immortal Palace? When one was far in the ocean, one would be able to see it at the ends of the sea.
The ocean was vast. To normal people, even if they spent their entire life, they would never be able to finish exploring it. However, to Martial Emperors, especially people like Xiao Chen, there was an end to the ocean.
The end of the ocean would be the edge of the Kunlun Realm. The scene here was very spectacular, a place where the sun never set.
After arriving here, Xiao Chen raised his head and looked. Indeed, he saw this mysterious Mirage Immortal Palace.
There was a heavy fog at the end of the ocean. An Immortal palace hovered in the air amid a group of majestic mountains in the fog.
There were towering trees on the mountains and waterfalls gushing. It was filled with beasts of the ground and birds of the sky. There were also countless pavilions and buildings decorating the place. One could even see some vague figures of Immortals flying around. They appeared very unfettered and elegant.
One could also smell an Immortal aura and see strange fruits and flowers.
However, everyone knew that this was just an illusion. While it looked like the Mirage Immortal Palace was right in front of them, in reality, they were some distance away.
There had even been Martial Emperors who could not endure the temptation and gave chase all the way. They had ended up lost at the end of the ocean, vanishing.
