Chapter 60, Humanoid Lightning! [Please continue reading!]
"These are Yin-Yang Dao patterns..."
The Purple Mansion Elder gasped, saying, "This is forcibly incorporating the principles of the Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation directly into the physical body!"
As fellow beings with innate Dao embryos, Zixia could sense that the Dao principles within Su Ye's body were accumulating at an incredible speed.
The speed at which it accumulated far exceeded her understanding of the innate Dao fetus constitution.
It was as if Su Ye was the true innate Dao embryo, while she was just an imposter.
The first two tribulations were just appetizers.
When the third lightning tribulation struck, the sky above the entire White Jade Plaza transformed into a sea of lightning.
It wasn't just one or two bolts of lightning, but a vast ocean made up of lightning.
Each bolt of lightning contains runes of the Great Dao, which are the direct manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.
The five elements runes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the yin and yang runes of life and death, the eight trigrams runes of wind, thunder, mountain, and marsh, and countless other runes float and sink in the sea of thunder.
The Way is the Thunder Sea!
Su Ye sat cross-legged in the center of the sea of thunder.
His physical body was torn apart and healed by lightning, then torn apart again.
His divine sense expanded wildly within this sea of lightning, capturing every fragment of law within each Great Dao rune.
The obscure and difficult-to-understand texts in the Daoist scriptures and the Western Emperor scriptures became clear under the illumination of the thunder talisman.
"I see..." Su Ye thought to himself.
The key to the Four Extremes Secret Realm is to use the four limbs to connect with the four extremes of heaven and earth, allowing the microcosm within the body to resonate with the macrocosm outside.
The fragments of laws contained within these thunder talismans are precisely the bridge connecting heaven and earth.
Before the sea of thunder had receded, a purple expanse suddenly surged forth from the depths of the tribulation clouds.
The fourth heavenly tribulation: the Chaos Thunder Tribulation!
Gray lightning struck down from the clouds of destruction with astonishing speed.
Wherever it passed, space distorted, and dozens of array patterns at the edge of the white jade plaza shattered.
"Chaotic Lightning Tribulation..."
The Peacock King's voice carried a hint of solemnity: "This is a heavenly tribulation that even powerful beings at the Sendai level dare not easily touch!"
Su Ye took a deep breath, and the Five-Colored Dao Diagram appeared above his head, the power of the Five Elements transforming into a five-colored light curtain.
Gray, chaotic lightning struck the light screen.
The five-colored light curtain trembled violently, and the power of the five elements was gradually worn away by the gray light of the chaotic lightning.
Su Ye groaned, and a trickle of purplish blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The aftershocks of the chaotic lightning pierced through the light barrier and struck him.
At this moment, the five divine treasures within his body roared simultaneously, and divine light faintly emanated from the bones and flesh of his limbs.
That was a sign that the threshold of the Four Extremes Secret Realm was about to be forcibly broken open!
Just then, a cry came from the depths of the lightning.
A crack appeared in the tribulation clouds, and the fifth heavenly tribulation followed!
A roc whose entire body was made of golden lightning swooped down from the crack.
Its wingspan was tens of feet, each feather a bolt of lightning, and its golden claws tore through the void as they reached for Su Ye.
"There are living beings within the Heavenly Tribulation?!"
A disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land cried out in alarm.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
The young talents stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.
How could there be living creatures during a heavenly tribulation?
Some people who did not experience the Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through the Four Extremes were even more bewildered.
Other prodigies who broke through the Four Extremes and were subjected to Heavenly Tribulation were filled with shock.
Their tribulations were nothing more than a few random lightning bolts striking as a formality, a perfunctory gesture. They had never seen anything like this before.
"This is not a living creature, but a being in a special form transformed from a heavenly tribulation!"
The Purple Mansion Elder's voice was filled with shock as he explained, "It is recorded in ancient books..."
"When ancient, heaven-defying prodigies undergo tribulation, the heavenly tribulation will imitate the Dao traces of the strongest beings who once existed in the world, and descend as lightning in the form of living beings."
The elder of the Jiang family continued, "Those who can summon lightning from living beings are all beings who have gone extremely far on the path to becoming emperors."
"As far as I know, in the past ten thousand years, only the Azure Emperor experienced such a phenomenon when he was young and undergoing tribulation."
Qing Emperor.
As soon as the name was mentioned, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the demon race's seats.
Yan Ruyu stood beside the Peacock King, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, her face serene.
But deep within those clear eyes, something was clearly churning.
The imperial blood within Yan Ruyu's body was slightly warm, and she sensed the fluctuations of the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart.
The heart that had been dormant in Su Ye's sea of suffering was being awakened by the stimulation of the heavenly tribulation.
The Golden-Winged Roc King's expression changed.
The illusory image of the ancestor of the Tianpeng clan was copied by the Heavenly Tribulation as Su Ye's tribulation.
This was a tremendous irony for him.
He couldn't even beat Su Ye, and what Su Ye was about to fight was the Dao trace of his ancestor.
The golden roc swooped down, its sharp claws tearing through the void.
Su Ye looked up, and instead of retreating, advanced.
He threw a punch, and purple divine power transformed into a fist imprint, colliding head-on with the Heavenly Roc's sharp claws.
boom!
Golden lightning exploded, and Tianpeng's claws were shattered by a single punch.
But the next moment, the lightning reformed, and Tianpeng's wings transformed into two heavenly blades that swept across the land.
Su Ye's expression hardened, and he grabbed Tianpeng's wings with both hands and tore them apart violently.
He forcibly tore off Tianpeng's wings.
The gushing "lightning blood" splashed all over him. It was a spiritual substance similar to lightning tribulation liquid, which could temper a cultivator's physical body!
Amidst the bursts of lightning, Su Ye, bathed in a sky full of lightning blood, defied the heavens and rose upwards.
He tore the Heavenly Roc apart with his bare hands!
The phantom of the Heavenly Roc let out an angry cry before dissipating into a sky full of lightning.
The shattered lightning did not disappear; instead, Su Ye forcibly absorbed it into his body using the Daoist scriptures, tempering the bones and meridians of his arms.
As soon as Tianpeng dispersed, the fifth heavenly tribulation followed.
Four more bolts of lightning fell from the clouds of calamity.
The phantoms of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise solidified amidst the lightning, occupying the four cardinal directions and surrounding Su Ye in the center.
The Azure Dragon opened its mouth and exhaled a stream of azure dragon breath, which was the ultimate form of wood-elemental heavenly lightning.
The white tiger slammed down with its claws, its metal-elemental killing power tearing through the air.
The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and the fiery thunder transformed into a rain of fire across the sky.
Xuanwu roared, and the Water-based Heavenly Thunder condensed into a black water column that poured upwards from below.
The combined attack of the four elements is unavoidable.
Su Ye's flesh and blood shattered during the Four Symbols Thunder Tribulation.
He was covered in blood, but he stubbornly refused to collapse.
The Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart pounded violently in his chest, and a surge of vital energy flowed from his heart, permeating his entire body along his meridians.
The torn flesh regenerated wildly under the nourishment of this life essence, and the new flesh was even tougher than before.
"He's tempering his body with heavenly tribulation..."
The Ji family elder exclaimed in disbelief, "They really treat the Heavenly Tribulation as the foundation for body refinement?"
Once the Five Elements Dao Diagram was revealed, the Four Symbols were strongly suppressed.
In the end, Su Ye painstakingly obliterated all four tribulations of lightning.
Before the Four Symbols Thunder Tribulation had completely dissipated, two figures suddenly descended simultaneously from the tribulation clouds.
Two humanoid lightning bolts!
The figure on the left transformed into a phantom of a war god wielding a halberd, ten zhang tall, surrounded by dark golden lightning.
The halberd in his hand was forged entirely from heavenly lightning, and its blade emanated a terrifying aura of destruction.
The figure on the right transformed into the phantom of an ancient monk chanting scriptures, sitting cross-legged in the void, his body radiating golden Buddhist light.
But the Buddha's light contained not compassion, but a chilling power of "conversion"!
Two beings, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Su Ye in the middle.
Two humanoid lightning bolts attacked simultaneously...
