Chapter 236: The Terrifying Lightning Tribulation!
“I didn’t expect Little Nine to have such a great opportunity. Looks like I came to the right place this time.”
Looking at Little Nine who had fallen into a state of advancement, Gu Xi could not help but reveal a happy expression.
Previously, Little Nine had been stuck at the Half-step Quasi-saint stage. Now that he had successfully broken through, he could rely on the natural advantage of his divine beast to have the strength to fight even if he encountered a true Saint stage!
As Little Nine’s advancement began, a large amount of spiritual power began to gather in this place. Due to the excessive amount of spiritual power, it was beginning to materialize.
At the same time, the space around Gu Xi began to squirm. Immediately, a golden carp jumped out from it and swam between the Heaven and earth.
It was Little Jin!
Previously, due to the effects of the spatial turbulence, Little Jin was forced to fall into a deep sleep. At this moment, the excessive spiritual power brought about by Xiao Jiu’s advancement allowed him to successfully recover.
At this moment, Little Jin was no longer in the appearance of a carp. Instead, he completely revealed his true form, turning into a small and exquisite Golden Dragon, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual power.
Not only that, Little Ancient, as the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug, also rushed out from the demon beast space, wantonly absorbing the spiritual energy in the world.
As the owner, Gu Xi could clearly feel that Little Jin and Little Ancient’s strengths were also rapidly increasing. Although they were still quite a distance away from breaking through to the next stage, there was still an increase that could not be underestimated.
The increase in their strength also meant that Gu Xi did not have to worry about his own safety anymore.
Even though he was currently in the Southern Continent, which was over ten million miles away from the Eastern Continent, and his cultivation base had been completely lost, he had the protection of the three ancient divine beasts. He did not believe that anyone would be able to harm him at all.
At the same time, Xiao Jiu, who was wrapped in golden light, finally showed some changes.
At some point, the surface of the huge golden cocoon had cracked open, revealing tiny cracks that were hard to notice. Then, the cracks spread out in all directions, becoming larger and larger, one could even vaguely see Little Nine’s figure.
Gu Xi held his breath and focused, his heart filled with anticipation.
This was because he knew that every advancement of a demonic beast was not a 100% success. If it failed, not only would it cause a certain amount of damage to the demon beast’s body. Moreover, he could only wait for the next suitable opportunity to advance again.
Crack crack–
Immediately after, a clear and crisp sound of breaking rang out.
In the next moment, the golden cocoon shattered with a sound, turning into a sky full of stars that scattered and dissipated.
Roar!
Little Nine faced the sky and howled, his entire body once again erupting with a dazzling golden light. At this moment, the sky and earth changed color, and a storm suddenly rose!
Gu Xi raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw thick dark clouds rolling over from the horizon. The originally sunny and beautiful weather had now turned dark.
Very quickly, the huge dark clouds had already arrived directly above Little Nine.
Rumble —
The dark clouds were endlessly boiling, and purple lightning flickered from time to time within them.
Gu Xi understood in his heart that this was the crucial moment for Little Nine’s advancement!
As long as he passed this lightning tribulation, Little Nine’s strength would undergo a qualitative leap!
Gu Xi secretly gave Little Nine a boost in his heart, but he did not stay where he was. He hurriedly pulled some distance away from Little Nine and hid in the distance to observe closely.
Now that he had lost all his cultivation, he did not want to die tragically under this lightning tribulation.
Rumble —
As time passed, the sound of thunder became denser.
Little Nine looked up at the thunderclouds above, his eyes filled with determination!
In the next moment, the Lightning Tribulation descended!
Lightning streaked across the sky, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket slanted down at an extremely fast speed, ruthlessly striking Little Nine’s body!
This strike only slightly dimmed the golden light emitted from Little Nine’s body.
After failing to attack, Little Nine raised his head and looked at the thunderclouds with a provocative gaze. It was as if it was saying that this lightning tribulation was only so-so!
As if they had sensed Little Nine’s provocation, the lightning became more and more intense!
One thick purple lightning bolt after another mercilessly slanted out from the thunderclouds and struck Little Nine’s body.
Following the repeated strikes, the golden light became dimmer and dimmer. In the end, it had completely disappeared, revealing Little Nine’s body.
However, the Lightning Tribulation did not stop for a moment.
In just a short moment, Little Nine’s body was covered in blood. At this moment, its pure white fur was dyed with fresh blood. Many ferocious wounds were even emitting wisps of green smoke.
Even as a divine beast, Little Nine was already unable to endure such an attack from the Lightning Tribulation. At this moment, its expression was filled with pain. Even so, it still did not fall. It raised its head and looked directly at the lightning cloud!
This was the dignity that belonged to Little Nine!
The lightning cloud was still churning, but at this moment, it had paused its attack, as if it was preparing for its final attack.
Not far away, Gu Xi’s expression was filled with worry. He wanted to help, but at this moment, he could only watch helplessly.
Transcending the Lightning Tribulation was ultimately relying on one’s own strength!
At this moment, the lightning cloud changed.
The thunder clouds opened up a space in the center, then changed from an irregular shape at the beginning to a round shape. The center was completely filled with purple Heavenly Lightning!
The lightning gathered densely together, and just a glance was enough to make one’s scalp go numb!
“These lightning bolts seem to be condensing…” seeing all of this, Gu Xi muttered, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
This was most likely the final strike of this Lightning Tribulation!
At this moment, thunder roared loudly, and a deafening sound spread out over a hundred miles away!
In the next moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and suddenly descended!
No, this should not be called lightning anymore, but a lightning pillar!
A lightning pillar that was thick enough for five or six people surrounding it!
The purple lightning pillar suddenly descended, landing on Little Nine’s body with extreme precision.
Following the final strike, the thunderclouds gradually disappeared and the sky once again became clear.
“Sob sob sob…”
Gu Xi clearly heard Little Nine’s painful sobs.
“Damn it!”
His expression instantly became extremely ugly. He immediately headed over to check on Little Nine’s injuries.
If Little Nine’s body were to die in the Lightning Tribulation, he would feel extremely regretful.
However, right at this moment, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, and a pressure that belonged solely to the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox instantly spread out, extending over a hundred miles.
Boundless spiritual power rippled out wave after wave, and the divine beast’s aura spread out in all directions, even encompassing over half of the Phantom Forest!
