Chapter Eighty-two: The Thunder Tribulation

  Chu Ping stealthily peeked at the fierce beast standing amidst the thunder and flames, his heart full of astonishment!

  This monster, like a cow, had coarse green hair all over its body that stood up like swords. The tail it was born with had black scales on it, overlapping and resembling the silver scales of the giant python Chu Ping had seen before, layered and stacked, only in different colors.

  "It seems like it should be a kind of Qilin beast, but I don't know what it actually is!"

  Chu Ping pondered in silence, the strange aura emanating from this creature's body was like a muffled thunderclap, with a faint blue glow undulating across its entire being. The surrounding lightning and electrical discharges pressed in heavily, colliding and pushing against it, flashing and flickering as they emitted low hissing sounds. This stirred up swirling clouds of colorful, illusory lights that danced chaotically within a radius of several dozen feet, like dragons and snakes entwining each other.

  Qing Cong rushed into the Thunder Layer, and his body immediately emitted a vast amount of true energy. The energy was everywhere, and countless lightning bolts were absorbed, colliding with his protective true energy, instantly producing a deafening roar.

  This traction, instantly like a spark falling into the oil pan, infinite electric power suddenly surged over, and fell towards Qing Cong's body!

  "This monster is doing what, provoking heavenly thunder, and yet it's not going to throw itself into the net!"

  Driven by the green giant, thunder and lightning filled the sky like an explosion, rushing forward in a frenzy of fear, with a vast atmosphere that seemed to destroy all things yet give birth to new life, the mighty body of the giant beast crashed down!

  Fierce heavenly thunder, wantonly displaying the power of heaven and earth, the force of creation, leaving Chu Ping shaken to the core!

  Just as Chu Ping was lost in thought, the raging lightning struck the cyan glow surrounding Qing Xu's body. In an instant, it was like a violent river rushing into a well-ordered riverbed, clear and distinct, transforming into threads of electric light that penetrated Qing Xu's long hair-like sword and spear, entering his body!

  Qing Cong's entire body was instantly covered with a layer of bright, electric sparks that looked like silver threads. They kept tearing and rising, emitting a faint crackling sound that could be clearly heard even in the thunderous Heaven's Thunder Layer.

  The azure horn on the monster's skull also emitted a circle of cyan light, like ripples spreading out in all directions. Countless wild thunderbolts that had not been combed by its true energy were absorbed into it, like lightning swimming around the vortex, flying and turning, finally gathering at the tip of the horn. The originally pitch-black horn seemed even more mysterious and profound, even more hidden and elusive, making outsiders unable to discern its reality!

  It's also unknown how long it took, but the surrounding thunder and lightning were absorbed by the Qingxu monster, yet they didn't seem to decrease at all, instead increasing more and more. As the Qingxu monster absorbed more and more thunder and lightning, its entire body began to shine with a dazzling light, covering up its original green aura. The black horn on its head also emitted a trail of purple light, like a string of sparks wandering around, it was really beautiful.

  "Monster, absolute monster!" Chu Ping muttered to himself, shocked!

  It's not his fault that he absorbed only a moment of lightning, and the artifact hidden in his brow, the Ruyi Pearl, was already unable to withstand it. He had no choice but to use the Nine-Character True Words to suppress the lightning, expending a lot of mental energy and effort before barely succeeding. And yet, this mysterious creature that appeared out of nowhere seemed like the favored child of lightning, recklessly collecting thunderfire for half a day without showing any signs of weakness, instead becoming even more spirited and vigorous, leaving Chu Ping shocked and envious!

  It seems to have adapted to the soft thunder and lightning, the dim cyan light on the Qingxu monster's body gradually faded away, weakening bit by bit. Without the intimidation of true energy, the violent heavenly thunder was like a shark seeing fresh blood, bringing a wild and unrestrained momentum directly striking the Qingxu monster!

  Even if Qing was already accustomed to the violent thunder and lightning, this majestic thunderbolt that carried the power of heaven and earth still made him unbearable. He let out a deafening roar, a visible sound wave with a cyan glow scattered into a semicircle, directly dispersing it!

  Fierce lightning struck into the body of Qingxu monster, and immediately opened up. Chu Ping felt a sense of "life" spreading out from the thunder, and a circular virtual shadow appeared in the body of Qingxu monster, with electric energy swimming on it like a dragon or a snake.

  In the midst of Chu Ping's divine consciousness, the aura of Qing Xu suddenly became strange, and a mysterious atmosphere of life and death was transmitted. The thick blue true energy mixed with strands of electric lightning, surging through the major meridians and acupoints of Qing Xu's body, like a refining fire that constantly transformed Qing Xu.

  "This is... Raijin's transformation?"

  Chu Ping's mind suddenly lit up as he recalled what he had read about the cultivation of heterodox practitioners, who all had to go through a certain pass!

  Since the creation of heaven and earth, humans have been the spirit of all things. This is not only because humans have a strong ability to learn and create, but also because they are modeled after the great god Pangu, with the best body for refining energy.

  The distribution of holes and orifices, the combination of skeletal blood vessels, the intelligent and sensitive nature of the mind...

  It's precisely because of this that heterodox cultivators ultimately have to shed their transverse bones and transform into human form!

  Then the thunder tribulation is difficult to cross, in ancient times, the ancient times, the monsters and demons are self-aware of their deep cultivation, can withstand the thunder tribulation, and when they can transform into human form, they will fly up to heaven, accept the heavenly thunder baptism, electric light shining on their body, finally transforming into a human shape!

  Once transformed into human form, these aliens can also be called humans!

  Humans are born from flesh and blood, while monsters can transform into human form after surviving thunder tribulations. Both are nurtured by heaven and earth, although there may be differences between them, their essence is the same!

  Transformed into a human form, the path of cultivation that follows is similar to that of humans, experiencing many realms, and finally entering the core of the Heavenly Thunder Layer to transcend and transform into a true self, condensing one's true yuan energy into immortal yuan power, which can be considered as achieving great accomplishment in cultivating truth. Further accumulating magical powers will allow one to break through the void and ascend!

  This is far from what Chu Ping thought when she first started practicing!

  Chu Ping initially thought that Lei Jie was a natural phenomenon that occurred when one's cultivation reached a certain level, and that those who crossed the tribulation could have the help of their masters, friends, or even rely on divine weapons and treasures to get through it. Only later did he realize how greatly mistaken this notion was!

  Cultivate the truth, cross the tribulation with thunder to refine the body and cultivate the spirit, condense and refine the yuan force. It is originally a way of absorbing the power of heaven and earth's thunder and changing oneself! If others can help, they might as well find a powerful backer to directly carry down the tribulation of thunder. One person attains the Tao, and then can transcend all living beings in the world, how could that be possible?!

  Without refining the body, without refining the spirit, it cannot be considered as having passed the Thunder Tribulation. Even if someone else helps you block the Thunder Tribulation or protects yourself with a divine weapon or treasure, in the end, it is no different from not having passed the tribulation at all!

  Cultivating the truth is about inducing thunder and lightning by oneself, the tribulation of thunder will not take the initiative to come to the door, unless it is a kind of cultivation that has reached an extremely high level, stagnating and unable to move forward, the true yuan energy is too powerful to be suppressed, causing the heaven and earth's original energy to lose balance, which will unintentionally invite heavenly thunder to transform the true yuan energy and gather into immortal yuan power.

  At first, Chu Ping understood Lei Jue's true intention and sighed. If it were really as he had thought at the beginning, when his master finished cultivating the law, if he wanted to pass the thunder tribulation, he could simply lie on a chair, lift his legs, and let his master resist the thunder. He could still watch the excitement from the side!

  Human cultivation, only when the cultivation has reached the power of crossing the tribulation, the true yuan energy is vast, and the muscles and veins are surging, can there be a heavy thunder tribulation!

  Monsters cultivate, but there is still another transformation of heavenly thunder!

  In ancient times, the transformation of thunder tribulation was only to fly up to the sky, rotate its own true yuan, and bring down the power of thunder and lightning from the heavenly thunder layer to cross the tribulation in the mortal world!

  It's unknown since when, cultivators can no longer summon heavenly thunder. The lightning that appears in the sky is extremely powerful, but it lacks a mysterious and profound life-and-death atmosphere, and has lost the subtle utility of creation and transformation. It can only harm people and enemies, but cannot be used as a step forward in cultivation.

  Now the demon has transformed, it needs to go to the outer edge of the Thunder Layer to accept the thunder and lightning tempering, borrow the creative power in the thunder and lightning, shed its demonic body, condense the spiritual holes and divine orifices, give birth to many meridians, and transform into a human form.

  Witnessing the bizarre changes before her eyes, Chu Ping finally recalled the records of thunderbolts she had read about, and suddenly understood in her heart.

  "Thunder tribulation transforms the form, in fact, it is to condense the perfect demon pill, experience the heavenly thunder tempering body and refining spirit, flesh becomes human, pill shatters into infant, this is the two great transformations of soul and flesh, truly reversing heaven and changing fate!"

  At the thought of this, Chu Ping's interest was piqued, and he carefully observed the strange transformation of the green bird!

  Lightning-like electricity coursed through his entire body, the green-eyed monster continuously let out earth-shaking roars, shaking the heavens and earth. His entire body was also slowly undergoing some strange transformations!

  Long hair fell off, like countless steel needles and fine swords floating, its body suddenly swelled up, then contracted, layer upon layer of lightning wrapped around it, just like a huge cocoon, finally about to break out of the cocoon and be reborn, transformed into a butterfly!
