Chapter 240 Accumulated Thunderclouds
Chapter 240 Accumulated Thunderclouds
When Wu Heyi witnessed the astonishing change in Meng Xuanjun, a strong sense of vigilance welled up in his heart, and he involuntarily took several steps back.
It should be noted that Wu Heyi had never seen before how a soul beast could obtain a soul ring after transforming into human form.
At this moment, Meng Xuanjun exuded an indescribable aura, which Wu Heyi could sense contained a faint trace of divinity.
What is particularly noteworthy is that the spirit rings that originated from his body were initially completely transparent.
As the soul power continuously emanated from his body, it seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, gradually merging into the brand-new soul ring.
In less than three minutes, an astonishing scene unfolded:
The originally transparent spirit ring gradually turned a light yellow, and the color became darker and darker.
At the same time, the wandering, ownerless soul power in the world seemed to have sensed Meng Xuanjun's presence, and they flocked to him like moths to a flame, gradually merging into his soul ring.
What's even more incredible is that at this moment, a thin, yet clearly visible halo appeared on Mengxuanjun's body.
This halo emits a soft yet bright light, giving people an incomparably sacred visual experience.
However, as everyone knows, Mengxuan-jun himself has the dark attribute!
Logically speaking, attributes like holiness should conflict with him and might even cause him considerable harm.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Mengxuanjun's sixth soul ring has completed its transformation.
It was no longer the previous light yellow or other light color, but had completely turned into a deep black, even showing a faint reddish tinge, like a blazing flame in the night, appearing particularly eerie and mysterious.
Just then, Wu Heyi suddenly realized that the originally surging and turbulent soul power around him had been frozen in a strange state of stagnation, as if it had been put under a spell.
At first, he thought this meant that Mengxuanjun's breakthrough was a great success, but he soon realized that he was completely wrong.
The sky, which had been clear and blue, began to change quietly at some point.
Thick, gloomy clouds seemed to converge from all directions, piling up rapidly like black behemoths.
These dark clouds, layer upon layer, intertwined and churning incessantly, created a strong sense of oppression, as if the entire sky were about to be crushed by them.
As time went on, the rolling of the dark clouds became increasingly violent, with deafening thunderclaps heard intermittently.
The thunder grew louder and louder as it approached, like a stampede of ten thousand horses or a landslide, filling people with fear.
Amidst the churning, dark clouds, streaks of dazzling electricity, as thick as an arm, began to appear and disappear. They flickered and leaped, sometimes piercing the sky and illuminating the entire heavens as bright as day.
Looking at this astonishing sight before him, Wu Heyi couldn't help but burst into curses:
"Holy crap, what kind of heinous thing did this guy do?"
It's just condensing a sixth spirit ring, yet it has attracted such a terrifying lightning tribulation!
What utter bad luck!
He cursed as he glared fiercely at Mengxuanjun, who was still immersed in the joy of the soul ring's soul power feedback.
At this moment, Wu Heyi was extremely anxious, because he knew that given the current situation, his temporary Emperor Armor state, which could only be cooled down once every two years, was definitely useless.
Faced with such a powerful lightning tribulation, without this powerful means as a backup, their situation will likely be quite difficult.
Thinking of this, Wu Heyi couldn't help but curse inwardly again: "Knowing you is truly the worst luck imaginable!"
However, despite the special circumstances, normal armor still possesses the ability to summon once.
Of these five suits of armor, only one can serve as a lightning rod: the Black Rhino Armor.
Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it not only possesses unparalleled defensive capabilities, but is also the most likely of all armors to withstand lightning tribulations.
"I hope what you're facing is just a basic tribulation. If it's beyond that level, I'm afraid even I won't be able to help!"
Without hesitation, Wu Heyi unleashed his soul skill. In an instant, the Black Rhino Armor merged with his body, and at the same time, a majestic spear was firmly grasped in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Heyi quickly found the tallest tree closest to Meng Xuanjun.
It should be noted that at this moment, within a radius of fifty meters from the site of their fierce battle, there are almost no other trees to be seen, which shows the magnitude and wide reach of this battle.
After successfully reaching the treetop, Wu Heyi immediately activated the Black Rhino Armor's ultimate skill—Meteor Spear's Frenzy Strike.
A continuous stream of water energy surged in like a tidal wave, pouring into the Meteor Spear layer upon layer.
At the same time, the soul power within Wu Heyi was being frantically extracted at an unprecedented speed, as if it were trying to completely drain him.
Meanwhile, water molecules in the surrounding air, drawn by some mysterious force, transformed into tornadoes and continuously merged into the meteor gun.
As time slowly passed like sand in an hourglass, the thunderclouds in the sky continued to churn and gather, their energy accumulating little by little, as if they were about to reach a critical point.
Just then, Mengxuanjun, who had been in a meditative state, suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart. It was a faint yet chilling sense of danger.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out from them, like lightning piercing the night sky.
"Ha, I didn't expect Lei Yun to know how to give people a chance to prepare!"
Standing to the side, Wu Heyi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
Mengxuan looked up at the sky and immediately spotted the thunderclouds that were gathering momentum.
Thunderclouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and thick bolts of purple lightning darted and roamed within them, like ferocious dragons baring their fangs and claws.
In the deepest recesses of his mind, within the memories of his bloodline inheritance, information about Lei Yun was instantly awakened.
According to ancient legends, when a cultivator's strength or the magic they use exceeds the limits that the rules of heaven and earth can tolerate, the heavens will send down a powerful lightning tribulation as punishment.
If one fails to overcome the tribulation, then the only fate awaiting this person is to be reduced to ashes.
However, if one is fortunate enough to survive this calamity, not only will one be safe and sound, but one may even receive blessings and favors from the heavens, thereby enhancing one's strength to a higher level.
