Cultivation Pet Shop

The pets that Lin Fan had were all still in the peak Platinum Realm, ready to break through to the Soul Realm at any time.

The only reason they hadn't broken through yet was because they hadn't undergone their tribulation yet.

Lin Fan didn't let them out on the Blue Star Planet for their tribulation because that would have drawn too much attention to them.

Five tribulations all coming from Lin Fan's store?

There was no better way to draw more attention to himself than that and he had already drawn enough attention to himself on the Blue Star Planet.

Instead he had kept them in the Platinum Realm until they had reached this upper realm.

Then again, it wasn't like Lin Fan actually needed them to help him fight back on the Blue Star Planet after he had broken through. Just with his power alone, he was already the strongest person on the Blue Star Planet.

Lin Fan's pets were confused at first, but then they could sense the tribulation clouds that were above them and they immediately understood what was happening.

The pets all happily ran off towards the waterfall, but they were doing it in their small forms. Looking at them running through the forest like this, one really expected a predator to suddenly show up and carry them off. However, that would never happen because the aura they released from their bloodline completely suppressed all the surrounding beasts.

That was, except for the Cloud Serpent who was completely focused on its cultivation.

Lin Fan's pet arrived at the pool underneath the waterfall and they played around in the water for a bit.

On the side, Xu Lin and his group watching this couldn't help having looks of doubt on their faces.

Xu Lin couldn't help asking, "Senior Lin, this is?"

Lin Fan just revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Just wait and see. This isn't a chance you get to see everyday, so watch carefully."

Xu Lin was still confused by this, but he still turned back to look at the pets in the pool.

After playing around for a bit, the pets suddenly started to expand, growing to several times their original size.

Once they finished expanding, they looked like powerful beasts. Beasts that no one would dare mess with.

The five of them suddenly split out around the waterfall in different directions, forming a pentagon with the waterfall right at the center.

Once all five of them were in position, they released their aura and the clouds in the sky became even darker. It continued to grow darker as the aura around the five of them became stronger and stronger.

While outsiders weren't allowed to interfere in lightning tribulations, something interesting happened when multiple experts underwent their tribulation in the same general area.

What happened was that the force of the lightning tribulation stacked and those undertaking tribulation would take that tribulation together.

There would be pros and cons for both those with greater talents and lower talents.

Those that were more talented would have their tribulations weakened which would make it easier for them to pass their tribulation, but they didn't get the powerful cleansing effect that came with the tribulation lightning.

Those that were less talented would find their tribulation harder, but they would gain much more than if they passed the tribulation normally since they would be cleansed with a higher tier of lightning.

The saying went, rewards came from risks and there were no rewards if there were no risks.

Of course, with the bloodline of Lin Fan's pets, naturally they were all undergoing the highest grade of tribulation, the Tribulation of Death.

The black lightning rumbled in the clouds, as if it was building up more and more power.

Even with them bringing the Cloud Serpent along with their tribulation, it didn't affect it at all.

With all five of them present, the diminishing effect of the Cloud Serpent was almost negligible. 

The five of them were gathered in a pentagon formation around the waterfall not just to keep the waterfall right in the center, but rather because they had formed a formation.

Because of Lin Fan using them to combine laws previously, they had gradually learned to work with each other and slowly combine their laws. Then there was Xiao Bai and Rocky who came later, but the three older pets taught them how to combine laws since they had already learned how to do it previously.

Any single one of them was already talented enough to break through the black lightning tribulation by themselves, but now that they had formed an array to break through together, it was much too easy for them. They could even take a nap while this tribulation was going on.

As time passed, the clouds became darker and darker.

Inside the waterfall, the Cloud Serpent was confused as it thought to itself, "Strange, why is the tribulation taking so long? It should have already happened, but the lightning still isn't coming down."

An entire half an hour passed before Lin Fan finally said, "It's time."

Xu Lin and the others had been bored waiting, so they had gone off to the side to see if they could find any beasts to hunt, but strangely they were able to hear Lin Fan's voice even though they weren't anywhere near him.

As soon as they heard the voice, they immediately came back to the waterfall and they arrived just in time to see the first bolt of lightning fall down.

The moment the lightning appeared, the kids were completely filled with shock.

Black lightning, they had never heard of a black lightning tribulation before. But they could sense the power that was contained within the black lightning, just a single wisp from that large bolt of lightning was already enough to completely destroy them.

The black lightning fell down right in the center of the array and it passed right through it, falling down on the waterfall.

The reason why the Cloud Serpent had chosen to undergo the tribulation in this waterfall was because it had also set up an array around the waterfall. It took it several hundred years to complete this array since it was made from the cores of various Platinum Realm beasts just like itself.

If this array was released at full power, it would definitely be able to even block the attack of a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert.

But the moment the black lightning fell down on the array, it shattered the array without any resistance and landed on the Cloud Serpent.

The Cloud Serpent had also never heard of a black lightning tribulation before and it was shocked when it felt the power of the lightning bolt. Even after using all of its strength, the Cloud Serpent was still being slowly cooked alive by that black bolt of lightning.

Bit by bit, its skin was being charred and soon the meat underneath that skin would be completely cooked.

The Cloud Serpent didn't have any idea what was going on, but it had no choice at all in this matter.

With a roar, there was a pair of horns that suddenly appeared on the Cloud Serpent's head.

Lin Fan on the side was surprised to see this. He never expected that this was a snake that had jumped through the dragon's gate and had developed drops of dragon blood.

This was a pleasant surprise, but it posed no threat to Lin Fan at all.

Even with the horns that appeared on its head, the Cloud Serpent still wasn't able to block the full force of the lightning at all.

As it became more and more charred, it couldn't help wondering what it had done to offend the heavens that caused them to send down this kind of punishment. It definitely couldn't be that he had developed a trace of dragon's blood because this wasn't heaven defying enough for the heavens to want to punish him. There were plenty of other beasts in this forest that had developed dragon's blood that had still undergone normal lightning tribulations.

The Cloud Serpent was about to curse the heavens with its last words, but then it felt something change. The bolt of lightning was no longer as strong as before and slowly it was able to use its power to block it.

This change naturally wasn't because of the Cloud Serpent itself, it was because the five outside had finally used their powers to block the black lightning tribulation. Before this, they had allowed the black lightning tribulation to completely fall through their array to hit the Cloud Serpent alone, letting it take the brunt of the tribulation.

The Cloud Serpent had to be commended since it was able to last that long under the might of six combined tribulations alone, not to mention tribulations that had black lightning.

The Cloud Serpent knew that something was clearly off, but it didn't have time to think at all as the heavens had already sent the second bolt of black lightning down at it.

The black lightning fell right through the array again and landed directly on the Cloud Serpent.

It had just been able to molt after being refined with the power of the heavenly lightning, turning back to its beautiful white colour, but it was burnt to a crisp once again by the heavenly lightning.

Even the single tear that came out of the Cloud Serpent's eye immediately evaporated.

But the same thing happened again like with the first bolt of lightning, the power suddenly cut off when the Cloud Serpent was about to die.
