Chapter 511: Chapter 362: Unusual-Colored Thunderbolt

"Evil Fire Purgatory!"

Man and beast unleashed the same Divine Technique. A dense blanket of Evil Fire, doubly empowered, instantly transformed the scene into a true purgatory of flames.

The baleful aspect of the Heavenly Dao Qi further empowered them. The already potent Evil Fire surged, its terrifying heat warping the void as it formed two flame dragons that shot straight toward the two cyan thunderbolts.

CRACKLE... SIZZLE...

The thunderbolts warped and the flames flickered. Their collision produced no earth-shattering roar, only a dimming of the light. Beneath the assault, the cyan thunderbolts were steadily annihilated until they dissipated completely, and the Evil Fire extinguished in their wake.

HUFF... HUFF...

Beneath the tribulation clouds, Yu Changsheng gasped for breath. Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, he immediately swallowed the two Spirit Revival Pills he held in his mouth, replenishing his power.

Despite having ample Magical Power left after unleashing two consecutive Divine Techniques, Yu Changsheng couldn’t afford any carelessness. He replenished his energy at the slightest consumption, determined to maintain himself at his absolute peak.

After all, this was only the beginning, yet the tribulation was already this intense. Yu Changsheng felt the pressure mount tremendously.

...

’Multi-colored thunderbolts... Has this guy actually provoked Heavenly Jealousy? With this kind of destructive thunder, not only does the number of bolts increase with each wave, but their power also doubles each time...’

Far away, beyond the reach of the tribulation clouds, the Sui Xian Sword Spirit watched the scene unfold. A faint light flickered in its eyes as it furrowed its brow.

’Legend says that if an ancient prodigy is truly exceptional, they will draw down multi-colored thunderbolts during their tribulation—a manifestation of Heavenly Jealousy meant to ensure their destruction. One who can successfully endure seven colors of this thunder can be called a peerless prodigy, one in ten thousand.’

’Nine colors are as rare as a phoenix’s feather, and ten colors haven’t been seen in a thousand years. The only exception was my Master, who drew down and survived a twelve-colored thunder tribulation... Yu Changsheng, just how many colors will you be able to draw down and endure?’

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit mused, its gaze flickering. A trace of worry creased its brow, but a glimmer of hidden anticipation flashed through its eyes as well.

But the Celestial Tribulation would not dissipate so easily. After gathering its power once more, lightning flashed. This time, three bolts of yellow thunder suddenly came crashing down!

Every inch of the thunderbolts crackled, radiating waves of destruction. They stretched between heaven and earth like long, lashing whips of lightning. Yu Changsheng’s scalp went numb and his hair stood on end. For the first time, facing this third wave, a sense of genuine crisis welled up inside him.

RUMBLE!

The three thunderbolts roared like angry gods, their cries echoing across the sky as they carved spiraling paths downward.

CRACK! CRACK...

Wherever they passed, the void over the ruins seemed unable to withstand their might. Cracks appeared, leaking the winds of deep space.

"Evil Fire Purgatory!" x2

"Tree Sea Forest!" x2

Without hesitation, Yu Changsheng coordinated with the Red Purgatory and the Colorful Star Deer, unleashing four Divine Techniques to meet the three yellow thunderbolts.

In an instant, a forest flourished and a sea of fire surged. The might of these Divine Techniques would have made any Golden Core Cultivator pale. Yet, when they met the thunderbolts, they only caused the yellow lightning to flicker momentarily before it tore through the sea of fire and continued its descent, locked onto Yu Changsheng!

"Wind-Rolling Thunder!" x2

The Golden-Winged Eagle flapped its wings as Yu Changsheng performed a finger technique. The winds and clouds roiled. Hurricanes laced with lightning boomed into existence, sweeping up to slam into the three bolts of yellow lightning.

The three yellow thunderbolts faltered, their glow dimming slightly, but they effortlessly broke through the attack and slammed down onto Yu Changsheng’s head.

BOOM!

As the thunderbolts exploded, Yu Changsheng’s body went rigid, trembling uncontrollably. Electrical arcs danced across his skin. His long hair was instantly incinerated, and his face was charred black, but his eyes still shone with a brilliant light.

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!

Yu Changsheng coughed, suppressing the roiling qi and blood in his chest. He looked up at the vast tribulation clouds, his eyes bloodshot, and a slow smile spread across his face.

Weakened by the successive blocks, the strike that finally landed on him had been endured. With the strength of his physical body, he had tanked the blow without sustaining major injuries.

However, the first three waves of thunder were merely a prelude. In the next instant, the sky was bathed in an orange glow as four orange thunderbolts descended like roaring dragons, crashing down toward Yu Changsheng.

Their terrifying aura sent a chill through one’s very Divine Soul. As the crushing pressure of the heavens bore down, Yu Changsheng roared. The Profound Turtle flew out, and in an instant, azure waves rippled outward, layer upon layer, swelling into a monstrous tidal wave that surged upward to meet the attack.

"Vast Sea Without Limits!" x2

Feeling the Magical Power draining madly from his body, Yu Changsheng didn’t hesitate. He continuously popped Elixirs while resisting the thunderbolts, his Magical Power circulating so frantically that his meridians began to ache.

The orange thunderbolts crackled, coursing through the Vast Sea. The waves churned, now infused with lightning. The Profound Turtle let out a soft cry and swatted with its enormous body, instantly extinguishing the orange thunder. However, its own body trembled, and its aura weakened significantly.

Each of those four thunderbolts was as powerful as a full-force strike from a Golden Core Peak expert. With all four falling at once, even the Profound Turtle was overwhelmed.

RUMBLE!

Before one wave had even settled, another rose. With no pause in between, a piercing red light pulsed from the center of the tribulation cloud. The light was the color of blood, exuding a bizarre and ominous aura. Five thick, blood-red bolts of thunder descended with world-destroying power.

"Thousand Mountains Technique!"

"Divine Light Body-Breaking Celestial Technique!"

Yu Changsheng roared, unleashing two of his physical Divine Techniques, both of which had reached the Transformation Realm. Instantly, the heavy Thousand Mountain Armor, shimmering with the earthen light of rock and stone, enveloped his body. Behind him, the phantoms of countless mountain ranges rose and fell.

A piercing golden light formed a cape that draped over his shoulders as layers of a golden light curtain rippled out to protect him. Yu Changsheng’s qi and blood raged, his Physical Strength surging forth. A towering Dharma Aspect of his physical body, glowing with golden light and standing hundreds of feet tall, materialized above the mountain phantoms.

With his feet on the mountains and his head in the golden heavens, Yu Changsheng’s presence was overwhelming. Behind the Dharma Aspect, amidst the mountain range, a great Rising Sun, radiating endless light, slowly ascended. It transformed into boundless power that surged forth as Yu Changsheng threw a punch!

"Rising Sun Dawn Fist!"

The force of the punch shattered the void in its path, tearing through the bloody red light and carving a trail of destruction that made space itself tremble. This punch contained the entirety of Yu Changsheng’s Physical Strength, the full power of a body that had Attained the Realm of Mastery. It was his most powerful punch yet!

Its power surpassed the Golden Core Realm, even faintly touching the threshold of the Purple Mansion.

CRACK! CRACKLE...

The blood-red thunder twisted like a struggling Blood Dragon before exploding. The terrifying shockwave engulfed Yu Changsheng. In an instant, his physical Dharma Aspect shattered, the mountains withered, and the great sun faltered. A sweet taste filled Yu Changsheng’s mouth as he sprayed several mouthfuls of blood into the void, his body’s vitality plummeting.

But he quickly mobilized his Magical Power to stimulate his body, forcing his qi and blood to churn. The seemingly severe injuries began to mend rapidly, and he started to recover.

This was the power of a Body Cultivator. As long as a Body Refining Cultivator isn’t killed outright, their powerful qi and blood will allow them to recover from their wounds.

Of course, if a vital organ or a critical acupoint were struck, he wouldn’t be able to recover so easily. Body Cultivators were not invincible, and at his current Realm, Yu Changsheng’s recovery was not without limits.

After the thunderbolts fell, the ruins were left riddled with holes. The starlight had dimmed, the ground had collapsed, and craters pockmarked the entire landscape.

SIZZLE...

Arcs of electricity danced across the ravaged earth.

The Sui Xian Sword Spirit watched this scene with a mixture of heartache and resignation.

It had already braced itself. ’After this Thunder Tribulation,’ it thought, ’this Secret Realm will likely no longer exist.’

Before Yu Changsheng could even catch his breath, the sixth wave of thunder descended. This time, it was colorless and formless, invisible to the naked eye. Yet, it created massive waves in Yu Changsheng’s mind, sounding a blaring alarm.

’This wave... it’s Divine Soul Thunder, aimed at the Divine Soul?’

Yu Changsheng’s mind raced, and he understood in an instant. His vast Divine Sense spread out like a boundless sea, covering the world, and in that moment, he detected faint traces of the attack.

There were six bolts of thunder—shadowless, formless, and invisible to the naked eye, yet terrifyingly real. They carried the majestic might of the heavens, aimed to pierce straight through a person’s very soul! It was a thunder designed specifically to annihilate the Divine Soul!
