Chapter 16: Thunder Falls
I have to say that forcibly snatching the demon fire of the fire-scaled golden python and refining the magic weapon with it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do, in that tense environment like being on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice, even if Ye Qiuli is so talented and extremely skilled in refining skills, he must go all out, and when he races against time, he can't be distracted at all, and only now, when the entire magic weapon is completely refined, can he have enough energy to pay attention to the situation in the outside world in person.
Looking at it like this, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but be taken aback, he really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, such a huge change had taken place in the battle scene, and the danger level was no worse than the previous aura riot.
I saw that in the sky at this time, a piece of ink-black clouds with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was gathering rapidly, the clouds were so black that they turned purple, purple and red, and red and black, and the depths of the clouds were boiling and tumbling like rivers and seas, and they were stirring endlessly, and there were thunders and lightning flashing vertically and horizontally in the middle, carrying floating and sinking! The tremendous pressure that was incomparably majestic and like a thousand catties did not even need to be felt carefully, just by looking at it, it had already penetrated into the hearts of the people.
"Sure enough, it looks like a Heavenly Tribulation is coming, but the scale is much smaller than the Heavenly Tribulation that cultivators have to deal with when they cross the Tribulation. Because he had seen with his own eyes the complete image of the tribulation that Lu Yan had left in the "Nine Grades of Ascension to Immortal Jue" Exercise Jade Slip, although Ye Qiuli had not survived the tribulation, he was a little more familiar with the specific situation than Changchunzi and the others, and when he saw the celestial phenomena at this time, he immediately made the most accurate judgment.
"Ah, what should I do at this time?" In the face of this situation of cloud calamity, Chang Chunzi and other masters of the Transformation Stage could still hold their breath, but Chen Youren and other disciples of the Qi Induction Period were the first to be unable to hold on. They don't have a wide range of knowledge, their cultivation is relatively low, they are still one step away from the realm of Yuan Shen condensation, and they are even more far away from the stage of crossing the tribulation and ascending, and they never thought that they would encounter the celestial anomaly of the coming of the heavenly tribulation in this situation, and they immediately panicked, and they were at a loss, so they could only pin their hopes on the elders of the division next to them.
"Let's see what happens. Although the momentum shown by this thundercloud is very similar to the sign of the Heavenly Tribulation, in the end it is just something formed by the agitation and fusion of the aura of heaven and earth after our Imperial Thunder Law, and it is still far from the scale of the Heavenly Tribulation, and we people have no people who are going to cross the Tribulation, this thundercloud may not necessarily develop into a Heavenly Tribulation, maybe what is brewing in it is just a super-powerful Thunder Law, and we will know when it falls. "When the matter came to an end, although Chang Chunzi and other masters of the Transformation Period were also uneasy in their hearts, they still forced their composure and prepared to respond to all changes with no change.
"Yes, looking at the current situation, this is a super thunder method, there is still a long way to go from the strength of the Heavenly Tribulation, we don't have to worry too much. Of course, you should also take precautions, after all, even if this super thunder method does not have the full power of the Heavenly Tribulation, it has its momentum of one or two points, and the heavenly thunder that falls is also not small. Regarding the guess of the super heavenly thunder put forward by Chang Chunzi, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, in the current situation where there is no escape, no way to escape, and can only go head-on, everyone can only secretly pray, hoping that the thundercloud storm in the sky will not eventually form a real catastrophe. If there is really a catastrophe descending, with the strength of their group of people, they have no ability to resist at all, and no matter how many measures they take, it is better to give up as soon as possible.
......
"Sure enough, it's not a real Heavenly Tribulation, at most it can only be called a small Heavenly Tribulation!" A moment later, the thundercloud storm in the sky had been fully formed, although the kind of awe-inspiring momentum that overwhelmed the mountains and destroyed the world was still very significant, and the transcendent pressure that intimidated the heavens and the earth and was omnipresent was still very huge, but Ye Qiuli had already been able to confirm that this was just a super thunder method, not a complete heavenly tribulation.
Now, in this thundercloud storm that appeared in front of everyone, there were no catastrophes such as heavenly wind, heavenly fire, heavenly ice, and heavenly rain, and there was only one celestial phenomenon wandering in the storm vortex in the center of the thundercloud, and there was nothing more dangerous. And a complete Heavenly Tribulation, usually with Feng Feng, Water and Fire, Thunder and Heavenly Demons, will not be so monotonous. This vision of heaven and earth is obviously far from the real heavenly tribulation!
"Whew! It's dangerous, fortunately it's not a real catastrophe!" After the thundercloud officially condensed and formed and saw its essence clearly, Changchunzi and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, temporarily letting go of the heaviest worries in their hearts. The power of this super thunder method is of course extremely powerful, but compared to the real Heavenly Tribulation, it is a small thing, and it cannot be compared at all! As long as it is within the range of everyone's ability, all problems are not problems!
Whether they admit it or not, every cultivator actually has an unavoidable fear of the Heavenly Tribulation in their hearts, and they are afraid of this supernatural power from the bottom of their hearts, no matter how strong their cultivation and strength are, no matter how firm their will and determination are, when they really face this kind of heaven and earth divine power that exterminates everything, they still have to be afraid and cautious, for fear that something bad will happen.
It's not that their psychological quality is not strong, or their cultivation strength is not yet at home, but that the Heavenly Tribulation is so cruel and dangerous. For countless years, there have been too many top-level monks who have fallen under the Heavenly Tribulation, and there are countless of them! "Ten crossings and nine annihilations", these four words seem simple, but the pressure brought to everyone is unparalleled.
At this time, after finally confirming that the thunderclouds condensing in the sky were not the real catastrophe, everyone couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, let go of the deepest panic in their hearts, unload the heaviest pressure on their shoulders, and start the final preparations with full energy. Without the deep fear of the Heavenly Tribulation, they were soon full of confidence and fighting spirit again, and they were once again a little more confident that they would successfully resist the attack of this Super Heavenly Thunder.
The waiting time was long, especially the brief calm before the approaching storm, which made everyone's hearts tormented and difficult to control. At this time, the thundercloud storm that has shrunk into tens of thousands of miles again, as if Mount Tai is pressing on the top, covering most of the sky, and the extremely low inky black clouds seem to be hanging above everyone's heads, close at hand, within reach.
In this extremely oppressive thundercloud, there are countless thunderbolts and lightning flickering, shuttling back and forth, which looks like it makes people's scalp explode and numb. Inside and outside the boiling and tumbling inky black clouds, lightning flashed, thunder roared, but it could not fall, and it was unresolved, which really made everyone worried and uneasy.
As the so-called head shrinkage is a knife, and stretching out the head is also a knife, the most unbearable thing is not the result of the knife after it is cut off, but the moment of torment that will be cut off. Although Ye Qiuli and the others were able to determine that what was brewing in the endless thundercloud storm was not a complete heavenly tribulation, but how powerful the super heavenly thunder that fell from it was, all of them did not have a bottom in their hearts, and only when the heavenly thunder officially fell could they finally tell.
"Boom!"
"Smack!"
After a long wait, the thunder and lightning rushing and tumbling in the thundercloud finally gathered enough strength, and when there was a roar like a drum, countless blazing white thunderbolts smashed down like hail landing.
The Super Thunder has finally erupted!
Under the thunder and lightning of the thickness of the bucket, outside the small canyon where Ye Qiuli and the others were hiding, among the thousands of tyrannical snake pythons, except for dozens of giant fire-scaled golden pythons, all the other snake pythons were instantly split into tattered minced meat and charcoal, and they were really too dead to die.
Even those fire-scaled golden pythons that were still alive for the time being were also split and rolled around, embarrassed. The purple gold scale armor on their bodies, which can defend against the full attack of medium-grade magic weapons, could not play the slightest defensive role under the direct attack of these condensed heavenly thunders, and all of them were hit by high-energy thunder and flashed with lightning and "snapped", and their bodies were also left with scorched black wounds, which penetrated the bone marrow.
If this situation continues, it won't be long before these dozens of fire-scaled golden pythons can't escape the deadly attack of the super thunderbolt, and they will definitely die.
"It's so strong, even if these heavenly thunders don't have the full power of the real heavenly tribulation, I'm afraid they have one or two points of style!" Seeing that the fire-scaled golden python that had brought a huge crisis to a group of people to himself was so vulnerable under the super heavenly thunder, but the first wave was split into death or injury, Ye Qiuli and the others couldn't help but sigh deeply that those super heavenly thunders were indeed extraordinary, and the power was really strong beyond imagination.
However, they only paid attention for a moment and then quickly shifted their attention and stopped paying attention to it, because they themselves were in the same huge trouble, and they did not have much energy to care about the fate of those giant pythons.
This overwhelming giant thunderbolt that slashed down was obviously not clear from the enemy, the fire snake python outside the canyon was certainly split to pieces, with heavy casualties, and Ye Qiuli and others in the canyon were not spared, one after another under the giant lightning slash, everyone hurriedly either resisted or dodged, and tried their best to deal with those thunder and lightning that had been strengthened countless times, and there was no leisure to pay attention to other things.
The super heavenly thunder that fell in this thundercloud storm within a radius of thousands of miles, although it was not a real thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation, but its power was still beyond everyone's imagination, Ye Qiuli, Changchunzi and other six god stage masters were exhausted, and they did their best to temporarily keep everyone's safety.
As for those low-level cultivators in the Qi Induction Period, in the face of this fierce and incomparably powerful heaven and earth, they had almost no power to resist and fight back, if it weren't for Ye Qiuli and the others joining forces to support a defensive space, as long as a heavenly thunder leaked in, it might kill one of them.
