Chapter 1377: Becoming a Taiqing Xuanxian
As the calamity clouds continued to gather, they began to slowly rotate, forming an extremely large vortex.
Dazzling lightning flashed in the center of the vortex, which was the terrifying thunder tribulation that was about to come accumulating strength.
Every time the lightning flashed, the surrounding space would be violently distorted, making crackling sounds.
At the same time, an indescribable aura of terror emanated from the calamity cloud. It was not a simple sense of pressure or threat, but a fear that penetrated deep into the soul, causing one's heartbeat to accelerate and breathing to become difficult.
Even Yuan Feng and the others who were standing at a distance and watching could feel the powerful pressure of that breath, as if countless invisible hands were tightly pinching their throats, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"This feeling... has exceeded the scope of ordinary thunder tribulation. Could it be the legendary destructive thunder tribulation? How is this possible? How can a human cultivator face a destructive thunder tribulation?" Bai Jie felt the terrifying atmosphere around her and said in shock.
Upon hearing this, Bi Changqing nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, this kind of thunder tribulation should be a destructive thunder tribulation. I have never seen such a thing in my life. It seems that Lu Chen's aptitude is so extraordinary that even thunder tribulation is unwilling to let him go easily. No wonder he can become Yuan Feng's friend."
Zhu Yu's eyes were solemn. He looked at Lu Chen's figure with a mixture of worry and anticipation in his heart. He said, "I wonder if little friend Lu Chen can survive such a thunder tribulation safely."
"I think this kid is going to die today. Didn't you notice? He didn't make any defensive preparations at all. Isn't this courting death?" Qing Feng sneered.
At this moment, the speed of the vortex in the calamity cloud suddenly increased, and the lightning intertwined into a web, illuminating the entire sky like daylight.
"Crack...knock..."
With a deafening roar, the first lightning tribulation finally took shape. Like a giant, winding dragon, it exuded a destructive aura and lunged towards Lu Chen below, claws and fangs bared.
Lu Chen looked up at the sky, his eyes showing no fear, but instead a hint of excitement and joy. He then activated the power of the origin of the avenue, "I am thunder."
Then, he calmly raised his head and drank a mouthful of the immortal wine, letting the lightning arc as thick as an electric pole hit his body.
However, such a terrifying lightning arc could not cause any harm to it.
This scene made Bi Changqing, Bai Jie and the others show incredible expressions. They exchanged glances with each other, as if to confirm whether what they saw was real.
"This... How is this possible?" Bi Changqing muttered to himself, his voice filled with shock and confusion. "If I'm not mistaken, young friend Lu Chen can actually absorb the power of lightning and transform it into his own strength. I can't believe that such a monster exists in the human race."
Bai Jie also nodded in agreement: "It seems that this kid has more secrets than this. Fortunately, I didn't make enemies with him just now."
Yuan Feng and Qing Feng looked at Lu Chen in the air with different expressions, and both had their own ideas.
Lu Chen naturally had no idea about these. He was currently in the midst of a thunder tribulation, practicing the Chaos Body Refining Technique and using the power of the thunder tribulation to temper his body.
Every time a lightning arc struck him, a dazzling light would burst forth. Each strike seemed to tear his body apart, but it was only thunder and lightning, and Lu Chen was not hurt at all.
As time went by, when Lu Chen successfully absorbed the first twenty thunder tribulations, Qing Feng, Zhu Yu and others were all moved and showed admiration.
However, what everyone is most concerned about is Lu Chen's performance next. They know very well that the more time passes, the more powerful the thunder tribulation will be. The key to whether they can survive it successfully lies in how to deal with the last few most violent thunder tribulations.
As expected, as the number of thunder tribulations continued to increase, their power also increased exponentially.
When the sixtieth thunder tribulation came, a huge lightning pillar with a diameter of ten feet suddenly fell from the sky, and it rushed towards Lu Chen with the force of thunder.
At this critical moment, Lu Chen smiled slightly and opened his arms, as if embracing the entire universe.
The huge lightning column crashed straight into his chest, but did not cause any explosion or damage. Instead, it turned into countless tiny flashes of lightning, which quickly penetrated into every pore of his body, further strengthening his body.
After a seemingly thrilling yet unusually calm process, Lu Chen finally faced the last round of nine thunder tribulations.
They gathered into a dazzling sea of thunder, sweeping towards Lu Chen like the end of the world.
Faced with such a terrifying force, Lu Chen had no intention of retreating, but chose to confront it head-on.
He concentrated all his strength and released a golden beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth. However, this beam of light was not used to fight against the sea of thunder, but as a guide, so that every bit of lightning power in the sea of thunder could be accurately injected into his body.
The energy fluctuations generated by the fusion of the two can almost destroy everything, but at the critical moment, Lu Chen successfully resolved the crisis with his own advantages.
When the ninety-ninth thunder tribulation was completely absorbed, Lu Chen felt an unprecedented powerful force surging in his body, and his cultivation level also broke through from the late Taiyi Xuanxian Realm to the early Taiqing Xuanxian Realm in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the body refining technique also broke through from the Emperor Body Realm to the Divine Body Realm due to the baptism of thunder tribulation.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt that he had a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and his strength had also made a qualitative leap.
After trying hard to calm his inner excitement, Lu Chen turned into a stream of light and came in front of Yuan Feng, Bai Jie and others.
As soon as his figure stood still, the air around him seemed to shake, as if celebrating the return of this new strong man.
Yuan Feng was the first to react, her bright eyes sparkling with surprise and pride, "Lu Chen, congratulations! Your progress is truly amazing."
Back then, when Lu Chen saved him, he still needed to rely on her protection, but now his strength is not inferior to hers. The key is that it has only been a short time.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Chen is the fastest growing cultivator she has ever seen.
Then, Bai Jie also came forward, her eyes full of admiration: "Lu Chen, I wonder if you are free. I would like to invite you to visit my White Tiger Clan."
"I will definitely go when I have the chance, but I'm busy with other things recently, so please forgive me." Lu Chen smiled and politely declined in a sincere tone.
Seeing this, Zhu Yu quickly smiled and said, "Haha, there's no need to be so polite, young friend Lu Chen. We all understand." He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, young friend Lu Chen's successful breakthrough today is truly a matter of great joy. How could we miss such a good opportunity?"
After saying that, Zhu Yu looked around and then shouted to the others, "Alright, everyone, stop standing around. Young friend Lu Chen has successfully made a breakthrough today. Let's go to the tavern and celebrate for him!"
As soon as Zhu Yu finished speaking, Bai Jie, Bi Changqing, Yuan Feng, and others responded, saying that this was the way it should be. For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became very harmonious, and everyone was chatting and laughing, which was very lively.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lu Chen was quite moved. After a moment's thought, he felt that if he continued to refuse, it would seem a bit unkind.
So, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, thank you for your immortal wine. I just happen to have some fine wine here, so I'd like to take this opportunity to share it with everyone."……………………
