Chapter 96 Transformation Tribulation Lightning
After everyone dispersed, Hong Fu approached Han Xiaoliu and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Xiaoliu, Xueqi is still unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and many Foundation Establishment Pills have been used to no avail. Do you have any ideas?"
Han Xiaoliu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xueqi is learning the martial arts techniques of the Tang Dynasty government, which follow the path of Qi and blood martial arts. What's hindering her progress is probably her own physique and the strength of her Qi and blood."
Having said that, he flipped his wrist and took out a book called "Blood Demon Body Tempering Technique," which emitted a faint blood-red light, and handed it to Hong Fu: "This body tempering technique is extremely powerful. If you use the blood of a summoned spirit to assist in cultivation, you can avoid the side effects. You should study it and pass it on to others. When cultivating the first level, it's best to use the blood of a summoned spirit wild boar, as it will greatly speed up the refining of spiritual power!"
Hong Fu took the cultivation manual and examined it carefully with her divine sense.
The next second, a look of shock and fright suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, and she gasped.
"Can it really avoid the side effects?"
She glanced around warily, making sure no one was eavesdropping, before lowering her voice to speak to the group: "Others can learn this technique, but it must never be passed on! Anyone who wants to learn it will have a restriction placed on their soul!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiaoliu not only didn't find it abrupt, but his eyes lit up.
Indeed, experience is the best teacher!
……
As soon as Han Xiaoliu stepped out of the barrier of the Dreamy Minor Realm, he keenly sensed the abnormality of the surrounding world.
The previously calm sea breeze suddenly stopped, as if an invisible giant hand had gripped its throat. Then, a suffocating sense of oppression swept over us.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles completely lost control, violently surging like boiling water, transforming into turbulent air currents visible to the naked eye that crashed and ravaged through the void.
Above the sea, inky black clouds hung low like leaden blocks, so thick they almost touched the waves, rolling in with a world-destroying divine might, shrouding the entire sea area in an apocalyptic darkness.
What's most unsettling is the thunder that roams deep within the thick, dark clouds.
That was no ordinary natural lightning, but a divine punishment lightning imbued with the violent will of the Heavenly Dao. Blinding purple-gold lightning bolts darted and intertwined wildly in the dark clouds, like raging dragons roaring and rolling in the abyss.
Each strike of thunder tore through the thick clouds, illuminating the towering waves below in a stark white light, accompanied by a deafening, muffled roar, as if even the void itself was about to be crushed by this terrifying divine power.
Faced with this overwhelming power of heaven and earth, the cultivators' magical abilities seemed so insignificant, leaving only awe.
Transformation into a lightning tribulation!
A demon is undergoing its transformation tribulation!
Han Xiaoliu was intrigued. The transformation of demonic beasts into human form was extremely dangerous, with only one or two out of ten successfully breaking through. He decided to stay and watch, not only hoping to snag a lucky one, but also to obtain a portion of the Transformation Tribulation Lightning, refine it into a Lightning Seed, and integrate it into the Five Thunder Spell!
Three days later, Han Xiaoliu set up a teleportation point underground, summoned Bubble, and stealthily headed to the center of the thundercloud!
The sea area where the tribulation was being conducted seemed to have been forcibly demarcated by the Heavenly Dao, creating a forbidden zone that no living being could approach.
The once azure ocean has now turned into a thick, dark black color. The surface of the sea is as if thousands of pounds of black iron have been thrown into it, so heavy that not even a ripple can be made.
The gale was no longer blowing, but transformed into invisible blades that slashed wildly along the water's surface, shredding the towering waves into dust.
The seawater boiled and churned under the oppressive power of the heavens, yet it made no sound, only a suffocating stillness and solemnity.
Above their heads, the tribulation clouds, stretching for hundreds of miles, resembled an inverted black mountain range, pressing heavily between heaven and earth.
Deep within the clouds, dark silver intertwined with eerie gray lightning roamed like an angry dragon, each flash illuminating the sea in a ghastly white light.
The wind howled like a lament, and the sea churned in fury. Above this sea area, which had been designated a forbidden zone by the Heavenly Dao, dark silver and gloomy clouds of tribulation, like an inverted mountain range, pressed down heavily.
Deep within the clouds, the lightning, imbued with the resentment of tribulation lightning and the might of heaven, transformed into ferocious dragons, unleashing deafening roars.
Amidst this apocalyptic scene, a succulent-like demon that has just broken through to level eight is perched on the sea surface, preparing for the life-or-death test of its transformation into human form.
For a demonic beast to transform into human form, it must undergo three tribulations of lightning, tempering its physical body, refining its divine soul, and slaying its inner demons. This is an extremely rare and heaven-defying act, and the slightest mistake will result in the annihilation of its soul.
With a deafening roar that seemed to tear the heavens apart, the first dark silver lightning pillar, like a world-destroying hammer falling from the sky, with the eerie penetrating power of tribulation lightning that ignored defense, crashed straight toward the head of the octopus monster.
Faced with such divine punishment, the octopus monster displayed extremely high combat wisdom.
Instead of confronting it head-on, it suddenly sank its massive body, using the cover of towering waves to dive into the deep sea, attempting to weaken Lei Wei with the power of the vast ocean.
At the same time, five top-tier magical treasures, radiating dazzling light, flew out from above its head. Driven by spiritual power, these treasures quickly formed an array, transforming into an indestructible five-colored light shield to meet the raging heavenly lightning.
However, the Transformation Thunder is no ordinary thing.
With a few sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sounds, the five-colored light shield, which was powerful enough to withstand a full-force attack from an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, shattered after only half a breath.
The five top-tier magical artifacts dimmed under the erosion of the heavenly lightning, and with mournful cries, they fell into the sea, completely destroyed.
Although the lightning's power diminished, it still struck the octopus demon's natal magic weapon—a Xuan Shui Bone Shield.
The bone shield that had been with it for hundreds of years let out a mournful cry, its surface instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the protective demonic cloud was directly shattered.
With the second wave of residual power about to hit, the octopus monster dared not hesitate for a moment.
Despite the excruciating pain of the reversed flow of energy through his meridians, the octopus demon dared not hesitate for the slightest and forcibly retracted the cracked bone shield into its body to nurture it.
The first tribulation of lightning barely preserved the foundation of its physical body at the cost of destroying all its magical treasures and severely damaging its natal magical treasure.
Before it could even catch its breath, the calamity clouds churned violently once more.
This time, what descended was not a violent physical destruction, but an invisible killing intent targeting divine consciousness. The dark gray lightning was mixed with thousands of mournful howls, which were the resentful and venomous thoughts contained within the lightning tribulation.
It floated on the water, dragging its heavy body, its tentacles flailing wildly, and suddenly unleashed an ancient secret technique.
Suddenly, its three thickest tentacles burst forth with dazzling blood-red light, detaching themselves from its body and piercing the sky like three pillars supporting the heavens, attempting to attract and disperse the power of this divine soul lightning tribulation with their flesh and blood.
But such calculations seem insignificant in the face of the will of Heaven.
The dark silver lightning precisely locked onto its body, ignoring the pull of the three severed arms, and pierced straight through its head.
"hold head high--!"
A scream of extreme pain echoed across the sea.
The octopus monster's enormous body convulsed violently on the sea surface, its severed tentacles writhing wildly and spurting out dark green venom and blood.
The resentment belonging to the divine thunder surged wildly into its sea of consciousness through the wound, as if countless rusty saws were cutting its soul.
Even with the powerful spiritual foundation of an eighth-level demon beast, it was now struck so hard that its consciousness was blurred, its demon core trembled violently, and its entire body was charred black. It was now in a desperate situation of being seriously injured and on the verge of death.
If one plan fails, switch to another.
The great demon murmured, then gulped in a massive amount of seawater. Its body expanded and then contracted, and its tattered tentacles quickly grew back!
"This is regenerative ability! Could it have a regenerative body?!" Han Xiaoliu's eyes gleamed as he looked at the three tentacles floating on the sea, his heart filled with greed!
"Bubble, I'll intercept the lightning bolt in a bit, you sneak up behind and steal its tentacles!"
His puffy eyes darted around, and he quickly considered all the other underlings, finding none suitable for the job. He had no choice but to agree. "Yes, boss!"
……
Just when the great demon thought it could finally catch its breath after enduring the last wave of tribulation lightning, the tribulation clouds above its head suddenly stopped thundering.
Instead, there was a chilling, deathly silence.
This is the most dangerous final stage of the Transformation Lightning Tribulation—the Tribulation of Inner Demons.
Without any dazzling light or deafening roar, a dark gray flame ignited unexpectedly in the heart of the octopus monster.
That was no ordinary fire, but a "fire of karma" formed from the resentment of the living beings it had devoured and the boundless slaughter it had committed over hundreds of years of killing.
This flame doesn't burn the skin and flesh, but it burns the soul.
In an instant, countless faces of cultivators torn apart by the octopus demon appeared before its eyes, and its desperate curses and pleas echoed in its ears.
At this moment, the resentment of the tribulation lightning perfectly merged with its own karma, transforming into invisible ghostly hands that gripped its throat tightly, intending to drag it into an abyss of no return.
"I am the overlord of the seas, what do I have to fear from the grievances of you ants!"
At this critical moment of life and death, the octopus monster let out a roar of unwilling anger.
It forcibly stabilized its collapsing sea of consciousness, mobilized the last trace of its original demonic power, transformed it into a cool, refreshing rain, and desperately protected the demon core at its core.
It struggles desperately amidst endless illusions and raging flames, letting the fires of karma gradually burn away its past karma.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last wisp of dark gray flame went out, the calamity clouds finally began to dissipate.
The once enormous and ugly octopus body disintegrated inch by inch in the seawater, transforming into countless specks of starlight. As the starlight faded, a burly man covered in circular markings emerged!
The burly man stared blankly to the east, unable to figure out who the person was!
