Chapter 314: It’s Not a Heavenly Phenomenon, It’s a Thunderbolt!
“Boom…”
Thunder roared incessantly above the small cave, filling the air with an eerie tension. Energy swirled like a whirlpool, spiraling wildly and raging toward the cave.
“Roarrr…”
In Cang Lan City, the deafening roars of beasts echoed non-stop, blending with the thunderclaps that shook the heavens and earth, piercing through the clouds.
Startled by the commotion, many powerful demon beasts turned their attention to the mountaintop. Members of the Divine Demonic Sect who had been in seclusion were abruptly awakened. Even those engrossed in cultivation stirred, their movements halting under the immense pressure. One by one, they gathered, trembling with fear as they stared in horror at the small cave.
“What’s happening?”
Elders Shangguan Xu and Hu Bu stood side by side, their expressions uneasy as they tried to comprehend the sudden change.
Dark clouds loomed over this part of the sky, lightning dancing fiercely within them. It was a terrifying and awe-inspiring sight.
Chi Qin and the old man in the yellow robe remained fixated on the cave. They ignored the chaos around them, their expressions grim as they sensed the oppressive force emanating from within—a force even more dreadful than the scene before them.
“Something’s happening!”
The old man in the yellow robe squinted sharply, his heart trembling as he spoke. His gaze remained locked on the cave, a trace of fear flickering in his eyes.
“Tock, tock, tock…”
Suddenly, the mountaintop where the cave lay began to tremble, as if a volcanic eruption was about to take place. Rocks blasted skyward, piercing through the clouds, while dust filled the air, the mountain cracking and splitting apart.
As the mountaintop exploded, a terrifying aura surged outward. The overwhelming demonic energy seemed to stretch to the heavens. At the same time, a burst of radiant light illuminated the mountaintop.
From within the glow, a figure emerged, wrapped in heavenly and earthly energy. Demonic energy swirled around them as they ascended into the air, sitting cross-legged. The figure was enveloped in dazzling light, exuding a divine radiance.
It wasn’t hard to discern their identity. A youth of about fifteen or sixteen, with long black hair cascading over their shoulders and eyes closed in serenity, sat there. Despite their age, an air of arrogance and a touch of innate wickedness emanated from them—an evil unconnected to the demonic energy, but one that seemed intrinsic.
Who else could it be but Su Yi?
“Boom…”
As Su Yi appeared, the sky suddenly darkened. Black clouds expanded, spreading across the horizon and plunging the world into shadow.
The old man in the yellow robe and Chi Qin both narrowed their eyes, their expressions turning grave.
“Boom…”
The void trembled inexplicably, and an invisible, overwhelming pressure spread, making souls shudder uncontrollably.
Even the demon beasts of Cang Lan City sensed the magnitude of the event. Their roars ceased, and they fell silent, trembling on the ground in fear.
“Chi-chi…”
Dark clouds churned violently, and lightning flashed, illuminating the darkened heavens and earth. The thunderclouds, perched ominously in the sky, radiated an overwhelming aura of thunder and lightning that sent chills down the spines of all who witnessed it.
“This isn’t a natural phenomenon; it’s a calamity!”
Chi Qin exclaimed, his voice trembling. His gaze locked on Su Yi’s figure, sitting cross-legged in the sky. His eyes flickered with shock and fear.
“Crack!”
Before Chi Qin could finish speaking, bolts of brilliant lightning tore through the dark thunderclouds, striking down on Su Yi with terrifying force.
This was no ordinary lightning—it was a punishment from the heavens.
“Boom…”
Lightning exploded around Su Yi, blindingly bright and unrelenting. Thunder roared as the devastating bolts descended upon him, carrying the full weight of heaven and earth, as though determined to obliterate everything.
“What’s happening here?”
“Stay strong, Su Yi!”
The disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect gazed upward, their faces pale with shock as they watched the horrifying lightning rain down. They swallowed hard, their breaths shallow with dread for Su Yi’s fate.
Just as everyone held their breath for Su Yi, the fearsome lightning, which seemed capable of destroying everything, suddenly halted an inch above his head.
Lightning flashed across the sky, dazzling and blinding, its brilliance causing hearts to tremble. Yet, the terrible thunder and lightning, which carried the weight of heaven’s wrath, stopped a mere foot above Su Yi, as though restrained by an unseen force.
The thunderbolts seemed to sense something, shrinking back in fear.
All eyes turned toward the young boy, their gazes fixed on him with stunned disbelief. Beneath the looming thunderclouds, Su Yi sat motionless, enveloped by a strange and radiant light that emanated from within him.
This hazy brilliance emitted a strong, commanding aura, isolating space around him and dispersing a dazzling red glow that seemed to defy the heavens.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, an imposing and sovereign aura erupted from Su Yi’s body, a presence so domineering that it seemed to warn the heavens themselves. The thunder rumbled on, but the brilliant lightning dared not approach the glowing shield around him.
This was no ordinary lightning—it was the power of heaven’s punishment, the essence of the lightning tribulation. Yet, even this mighty force hesitated to confront Su Yi.
The onlookers, witnessing this scene, were overwhelmed with shock.
“This…”
From a distant mountain peak, the old man in the yellow robe stood frozen, his face an expression of unprecedented disbelief.
Chi Qin, too, was stunned. His eyes widened, and his mouth hung open in awe.
The lightning—the very embodiment of heaven’s laws and punishment—appeared terrified. It hesitated to descend, as though it feared to strike the boy beneath it.
Chi Qin’s heart raced as this realization dawned on him, filling him with a strange sense of excitement.
“Boom!”
A mysterious light burst forth from Su Yi’s body, spreading outward in waves. The red glow surged, carrying an unparalleled aura of destruction that seemed both a warning and a challenge to the heavens.
Under this overwhelming power, the once-mighty thunder and lightning began to tremble. They faltered, retreating continuously as if cowed by the defiance radiating from Su Yi.
“Shih!”
At that moment, Su Yi’s tightly shut eyes flew open. His once-bright and deep gaze now shone with an intensity that pierced through the heavens.
In an instant, an ancient and appalling aura emanated from his body. It surged like an unstoppable tide, vast and boundless, as if capable of subduing the four corners of the world.
As Su Yi’s gaze shifted to the lightning above, he seemed to fully awaken, his expression flickering with both fear and awe.
“Lightning tribulation… Is this a lightning tribulation?” he murmured, his voice trembling.
Memories of the Blood Spiritual Ginseng’s tribulation flooded his mind, recalling the dread he had felt witnessing it. Now, facing it himself, he felt the weight of fate bearing down on him.
This moment, this stillness, carried a power far greater than anything he had ever known.
This was destiny itself—a lightning tribulation!
