Chapter 62: Refining the Power of the Thunder Tribulation

  "A ninety percent guarantee? You... you... this isn't a joke, is it? This is a heavenly calamity." Gu Tianyi was also shocked upon hearing this. If this were true, then his own tribulation this time would be safe and he wouldn't need to worry. But was this really the case? Gu Tianyi didn't believe it at all, because this was truly too astonishing. To think that Huang Yu's cultivation was only at the Human Infant Realm, unless he had the legendary Tribulation Transcending Elixir... "Do you have a Tribulation Transcending Elixir?"

  "Cross Tribulation Immortal Pellet?" Huang Yu shook his head, "I don't have a Cross Tribulation Immortal Pellet. However, my junior is cultivating a thunder attribute technique, which can be used to cultivate with your Heavenly Tribulation, so rest assured, I'll go and resist the Heavenly Tribulation for you. It's just that for the final Heavenly Tribulation, you still need to face it yourself, otherwise even if you pass the Heavenly Tribulation, your original combat strength will be weakened, which wouldn't be good."

  "You... you're kidding, your cultivation is too weak. This isn't just any ordinary heavenly tribulation. If it were only a thunder tribulation of the Lei Jing realm, maybe you could withstand it. But I'm already at the Yin Yang realm, and this is a life-and-death realm thunder tribulation. You can't withstand it at all. Even if you're cultivating a thunder-attribute technique, it's impossible to withstand. It's simply too overbearing. You won't be able to hold on.

  Gu Tian initially thought that Huang Yu really had some good method to help him get through the tribulation, but as soon as he heard that Huang Yu was actually planning to harden himself against the thunder tribulation, he immediately disagreed. This wasn't something to be taken lightly. His strength was too weak, and the life-and-death realm thunder tribulation was too overbearing. A single bolt of lightning could destroy a small mountain. How could Huang Yu's weak body possibly withstand it?"

  "Old Uncle, I'm telling the truth, I have absolute confidence in this. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk my own life," Huang Yu said. Gu Tian was unexpectedly unconvinced, which was beyond his expectations. He argued that if he couldn't utilize this thunder tribulation to cultivate this time, he would be the one who suffered a great loss. This thunder tribulation could help his Leiyin Manual advance to Earth Rank, and also allow his Zixiao Sword to transform into an Earthly artifact.

  "No way, no matter what, it's not going to happen. Whether I can survive the calamity is my own business, but I won't let you take risks. You're a genius, destined for greatness, and will surely surpass me in the future. If you were to fall here, that would be my fault." Gu Tian firmly disagreed, "Besides, you've already helped me too much. How could I possibly let you risk your life? And there's something else I want to ask of you: if anything happens to me, please take care of Gu Xin. She may have exceptional talent, but she's still just a young girl with a simple heart. When I was at the God Stone Pavilion headquarters, I offended many people and was exiled to Qiushui City. If something were to happen to me, my enemies would definitely target her. I hope you can protect her from harm. If possible, I hope you can marry her; if not, even having her as a servant would be fine. Take this jade pendant, it has the words I want to say to her." With that, Gu Tian exerted a burst of energy and slowly lifted Huang Yu up before pushing him away.

  "Damn it." Huang Yu was so angry that he couldn't bear it. This old man, stubborn to death, although he knew he was doing it for his own good and didn't want him to get hurt, but Huang Yu still felt particularly depressed in his heart. He actually didn't believe his words, this Gu Tian, was really too despicable.

  "Don't worry, master, let's wait a bit. When he can't hold on anymore, we'll go in and it will be the same. This calamity is not the same as before, it's the 69th heavenly calamity. With his strength, being able to withstand the fourth wave of the heavenly calamity is already very good. The fifth and sixth waves are absolutely impossible to pass through. Let him hold on to the first four heavenly calamities himself, my pressure will also decrease a lot, isn't that better?"

  Hearing Lu Lu's words, Huang Yu nodded, this was also the only way out. If he had entered during Gu Tian's capable period, even if he had charged in, he would still have been thrown out by him.

  That black cloud is getting lower and lower.

  Right after a flash of lightning illuminated the entire sky.

  Like a long knife, it cut straight down, as if it wanted to split the entire sky and earth in two.

  "Crack."

  Gu Tian was born with a natural resistance to lightning and his body shook slightly but nothing happened.

  However, Huang Yu was clear that this was just an appetizer, the first flash of lightning, and it was only a probing attack. The subsequent thunderbolt would be the real deal.

  Rumble.

  Another flash of lightning struck down, Gu Tian clenched his fists and swung them out fiercely, charging straight into the sky, like a cannonball, colliding with the descending lightning.

  "Bang..."

  A loud crash, Gu Tian was knocked to the ground, standing firm, a thread of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, this flash of lightning had already left him slightly injured.

  Rumble...

  One by one, the thunderbolts had been withstood by Gu Tian, but he was now on the verge of collapse, his entire body covered in wounds, a dark and dismal sight, as if he had just emerged from a refugee camp.

  It's no longer as majestic and elegant as it was in the Shen Shi Pavilion.

  Rumble.

  This is the last bolt of lightning in the fourth wave of tribulation. Can he withstand it? Huang Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

  "Don't worry, master. He will definitely get through this tribulation, but after getting through it, he will exhaust his true yuan and spiritual power, and the whole person will fall into a coma. That's when we'll make our move." Lulu said.

  "Hmm." Huang Yu nodded, but couldn't help feeling worried. The terrifying thunder tribulation made his own heart skip a beat. If it weren't for Lu Lu's confidence, Huang Yu would never have dared to try this method of withstanding the thunder tribulation for someone else. In the entire True Martial Continent, there had never been a successful precedent for this. Of course, there were people who had attempted to withstand heavenly tribulations before, but they all died under the heavenly tribulation, their souls scattered in an instant. If one's cultivation was higher than that of the person undergoing the tribulation, then what descended would be heavenly punishment. But if one's cultivation was weaker than that of the person undergoing the tribulation, then it would simply continue as the original thunder tribulation.

  "Crack!"

  That bolt of lightning had been brewing for a long time before it finally came down.

  This bolt of lightning was extremely terrifying, about the size of a washbasin, with an astonishing momentum that even Huang Yu felt oppressed. At this moment, the original formation was destroyed, and the electric arcs surrounding the small courtyard were all flattened to the ground. This was just the electric arc, not the main one, that terrifying bolt of lightning.

  "Rumble!"

  In the end, that bolt of lightning landed on Gu Tian's head. He gritted his teeth and his eyes snapped open. One hand transformed into a dazzling fist aura as he merged with it, fiercely smashing towards the lightning, as if to break through the calamitous cloud.

  Let go of a big gamble, this is a last-ditch effort, the final blow, because Gu Tian knew that he would not be able to get through this heavenly calamity, but even in death, he had to die with dignity, and let out one last roar, bursting forth with his last ounce of strength.

  "Bang..."

  Although Gu Tian's current strength was fully activated at this time, he had already reached the end of his tether. His last true yuan force was drained, and after a hard fight, although he blocked this thunderbolt, he lost the support of his true yuan force and fell instantly. If he fell to the ground, his life would be in danger.

  "Take action." Rourou's voice suddenly echoed in Huang Yu's ear.

  Huang Yu heard this and took a big step forward, chasing the wind. He transformed into a clear breeze and instantly arrived beside Gu Tian, catching him and placing him to one side.

  Rumble, rumble...

  In the thunderclouds, a terrifying voice sounded, as if it was his roar, this mortal actually dared to provoke his dignity, dared to intervene in the heavenly calamity at this time, and truly sought death.

  At the moment when Huang Yu Fa descended from ancient heaven, a bowl-sized thunderbolt fell down.

  Although it was only the size of a bowl, Huang Yu felt the terrifying power of this flash of lightning, an absolute destructive force that was even more astonishing than the previous one.

  "Come on, I'm not afraid of you. Let me see how the heavenly tribulation will be?" Huang Yu shouted loudly towards the sky, his hands tightly grasping the Zi Ji Sword, pointing at the calamity cloud in the air.

  "Crack..."

  That day, the thunder seemed to be thoroughly enraged, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning struck down, followed by another, and another, without any pause.

  The purple extreme sword in Huang Yu's hand was like a lightning rod, and the flashes of lightning that struck it were neither biased nor deviated, all falling on the purple extreme sword.

  At that moment, Huang Yu felt a terrifying power of thunder and lightning surge into his body, rampaging through him as if it was going to tear him apart. Wave after wave crashed in, like the tides on a beach, each one piling onto the last, growing bigger and stronger.

  "Lei Long Jue, refine, refine for me, crazy refinement!" Huang Yu shouted loudly, his entire body enveloped in lightning, making him invisible.

  At this time, Huang Yu felt that his entire body had become a purple ocean, which was the power of Tian Jie.

  Raiden's crazy rotation.

  A Thunder Dragon was refined and emerged, constantly moving within his body, absorbing the power of the Thunder Tribulation.

  "Refine it for me."

  Huang Yu knew that he was about to successfully break through, the Leidong Jue cultivation reached the first layer, and a thunder dragon could be refined in his body. Previously, Huang Yu had already refined two, and now with the addition of one more, he had cultivated a third thunder dragon, which also meant that his Leidong Jue had reached the third level boundary.

  A bolt of lightning, that terrifying power, continuously poured into the Purple Extreme Sword, and through the Purple Extreme Sword surged into Huang Yu's body. Huang Yu's Thunder Dragon Technique had already broken through one layer, but the absorbed power of the thunderbolt was only a small part of it. The more powerful thunderbolt energy inside his body was rampaging wildly, his meridians were being destroyed inch by inch, making Huang Yu extremely painful. If it weren't for the power of the lightning numbing Huang Yu's nerves, that pain would be even more astonishing.
