"boom!"
There were lightning and thunder in the night sky.
The dark clouds were still gathering rapidly, and a huge black vortex gradually formed in the middle of the rolling sea of clouds, as if a terrifying beast was about to tear through the sky and stick its head out!
The entire river surface was shrouded in darkness!
And in the river, that huge black shadow became more and more restless, swimming back and forth at the bottom of the water, stirring up the undercurrent.
Suddenly, an even more terrifying aura pressed down from the night sky.
The water on the entire river surface seemed to shake suddenly and dropped a little. The small boat moored on the shore was actually thrown up by the waves.
The huge black shadow that was hesitating anxiously at the bottom of the water suddenly seemed to be immobilized by a spell, and it froze in place, unable to move.
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky!
Then, in the rolling dark clouds and the huge black vortex, a thick blue lightning bolt rushed down with a roar like a ferocious ancient python!
Then he dived directly into the river and fiercely hit the huge black shadow under the water!
In an instant, the black shadow was wrapped by thick lightning!
Almost the entire underwater area is illuminated!
The black shadow was fixed at the bottom of the water, motionless, while the thick lightning wrapped around her body, striking her fiercely.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the bow and watched with bated breath.
Even though he had the Thunder Spirit Root to protect him, he was still frightened when he saw such a terrible thunder tribulation, and he didn't know whether Long Er could withstand it.
It is said that when demons and monsters are struck by thunder, they can only rely on their physical bodies to withstand it.
If you can get through it, the storm will pass and the sky will clear, and you will transform and advance; if you can't get through it, then you will be reduced to ashes and die.
"The lightning is actually tempering her body and soul, just like refining a weapon. If you want to obtain a good magic weapon, you must go through a thousand trials and tribulations."
At this moment, a cold and familiar voice suddenly came from behind Luo Qingzhou.
Luo Qingzhou turned around and said, "Sister Yue, is Long Er okay?"
The moon-white figure looked at the black shadow entangled by lightning under the water, and said calmly: "With her current demon body strength, only the second half of the thunder tribulation will pose a threat to her."
Luo Qingzhou said: "In other words, I will take action last?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, then said, "The best scenario is that she can cross over on her own without you having to do anything. In that case, her demon body and strength will become even stronger."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Yue means that I don't need to take action for the time being, and let Long'er overcome the tribulation on her own. I will only save her when Long'er can't bear it anymore, right?"
The moon-white figure looked at him and said, "No."
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
The moon-white figure said expressionlessly: "Nothing is right. Everything you said is wrong."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
The moon-white figure ignored him, his face was cold, and he continued to look at the bottom of the water.
“Sizzle—”
At this moment, in the huge black vortex in the sky, a thicker blue lightning appeared again!
At this time, the lightning under the water had disappeared!
“Swish!”
The lightning in the sky twisted and roared, and once again swooped down like a ferocious giant python!
The dark shadow under the water was still fixed there, once again enduring the rough tempering and beating of the lightning.
After dozens of consecutive lightning strikes, more lightning suddenly appeared in the huge black vortex.
Immediately, dense and terrifying thunder and lightning illuminated the entire sky and the river surface. With a "boom", all of them pounced down and dived into the water!
Long Er was instantly submerged in the sea of thunder and lightning, and disappeared.
Seeing this horrifying scene, Luo Qingzhou broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he suddenly felt some sympathy for those monsters who had practiced silently for many years and experienced many thunder tribulations before they could transform.
Their path of cultivation is much more difficult than that of humans.
Every time a thunder disaster occurs, there is a danger of being reduced to ashes, which can be said to be a life-or-death situation.
Among ten thousand spirits, only a few could successfully survive three thunder tribulations. Most of them would have died in the first thunder tribulation, or even before they encountered any thunder tribulations.
Compared with this, human cultivation seems to be much simpler.
At least every time there is a breakthrough and advancement, there is no serious danger to life and there is no such horrific scene.
He had only heard that when the soul reaches a certain stage, it also needs to go through the thunder tribulation. As for the cultivation of the physical body, he had never heard of the need to go through the thunder tribulation.
Of course, maybe he hasn't reached that level yet.
"boom!"
One wave of thunder and lightning comes, and another wave comes!
Long Er didn't have a chance to catch his breath.
The entire bottom of the water was illuminated by lightning. Long Er could only see some vague figures from time to time in the sea of lightning.
Luo Qingzhou was worried and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yue, is Long Er okay like this? How long will it last?"
The moon-white figure said calmly, "There is a formation below, and her demon body will be stronger in the water, so she will be fine. This is only the first stage. After she survives this stage, she needs to get out of the water, fly into the air, and rely on her own demon body to actively face the thunder tribulation. That's when the strength of her demon body will be truly tested."
After a pause, she continued, "But the most dangerous period is still in the final stage. That is when she is exhausted, and any lightning bolt could ruin all her efforts."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh: "Is it so difficult for the demon race to survive the tribulation?"
The white figure said calmly, "She is different. She has dragon blood in her body and will eventually transform into a real dragon. Therefore, each of her thunder tribulations will be more powerful and dangerous than those of other monsters."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
The white figure was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "You have been promoted to Grandmaster, do you have any cultivation techniques?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this, he glanced at her, shook his head and said, "Not yet."
In fact, his uncle has already gone to the Sutra Library to help him choose. He also said that he would help him ask the ancestor for a set of boxing techniques.
The Yuebai figure was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't you have a sect?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "There are spies in the sect. I don't want others to know that I have been promoted to a Grandmaster for the time being, so I can't choose a technique yet. Besides, the techniques in the sect may not be that good."
The moon-white figure looked at the river and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her again and asked cautiously, "Sister Yue, you are so powerful, you must have a lot of powerful skills, right?"
The moon-white figure said in a cold tone: "I won't give it to you even if I have it."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"boom!"
At this time, another wave of thunder and lightning poured down like a rainstorm!
The figure under the water seemed to be covered with wounds, and traces of bright red blood kept floating out of the water.
Luo Qingzhou looked solemn, praying silently in his heart that this wave of thunder and lightning would end quickly.
However, thunder and lightning continued to come one after another.
After a full half hour, the lightning in the vortex began to gradually decrease.
There was a strong smell of blood floating in the air, and the water surface under the boat was almost dyed red by large patches of blood, which was shocking to look at.
If it weren't for the protection of the formation, the strong smell of blood would have attracted all the monsters and demons in the Yunwu Mountains.
The situation underwater is no longer clear.
After a while, the lightning in the vortex completely disappeared.
But the giant vortex was still spinning slowly, and the dark clouds around it were still gathering here.
It is accumulating even bigger thunder and lightning!
“Wow!”
Water splashed everywhere, and a figure suddenly flew out from the bottom of the water.
Long'er has turned into a human form, naked, but on his neck, chest, and slender waist, there are several pieces of golden scales, which look shining, but his body is covered with scars and blood.
In the water below her, there was a long, thick green snake tail.
The scales on the snake's tail were broken, revealing a pool of flesh and blood.
"Sir, Long'er is in so much pain..."
When she saw Luo Qingzhou on the boat, tears welled up in her eyes and she looked pitiful.
But the demonic aura emanating from her was extremely powerful.
Luo Qingzhou immediately encouraged him, "Long'er, don't be afraid, hold on! I believe you can succeed! I'll be here with you, and if there's any danger, I'll definitely help you."
Long Er raised her blood-stained jade arms, rubbed her eyes with her two small fists, and said in a crying voice: "Master, it's all your fault. If you had been affectionate with Long Er earlier, and had given Long Er the thunder spirit energy earlier, Long Er wouldn't be in so much pain, oooo..."
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, and could only say: "Long'er, Sister Yue just said that only by relying on yourself to survive the thunder tribulation, your demon body will become stronger..."
"No!"
Long Er immediately retorted, "If you had given me your thunder spirit energy earlier and allowed me to refine my body earlier, my demon body would have been even stronger. In that case, it would have been easier for me to survive the thunder tribulation tonight, and I might not even need your help."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something.
He subconsciously looked to the side.
Unexpectedly, the moonlit figure was also looking at him coldly.
Luo Qingzhou could only say: "Long'er, now that things have come to this, it's too late to talk about this, you..."
Long Er immediately said, "It's still in time! Sir, it's still in time! As long as Sir hurry up, Long Er will still have time to absorb some."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
How can something like this be done quickly
“Sizzle—”
At this moment, a thick streak of lightning suddenly appeared in the huge black vortex in the night sky.
Luo Qingzhou's face changed, and he immediately said: "Long'er, be careful! The thunder tribulation is coming!"
Long Er raised his head and looked at the night sky. The flashing lightning was reflected in his golden eyes. His eyes suddenly showed determination. He said, "Master, Long Er is going up! Sister is right. Only by overcoming the tribulation on your own can you become stronger! Master, don't help Long Er yet. Long Er will definitely be able to make it!"
After saying that, she flicked her tail, her long hair flew up into the sky!
"boom!"
In the dark clouds, the black vortex suddenly turned into a vortex composed of lightning!
Countless lightning bolts were dancing and spinning inside!
Long Er rushed into the sea of thunder without hesitation and was instantly sucked into the whirlpool.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
There was a deafening roar of thunder in the sky!
Thick streaks of lightning, like a roaring python, pounced towards the vague figure.
Blood fell like rain.
The figure sometimes turned into a huge black shadow, and sometimes turned into a human figure, looming in the sea of thunder, struggling hard.
Luo Qingzhou clenched his fists, two arcs of lightning flashed in his eyes. He wished he could rush forward and smash the huge vortex of lightning with one punch!
And in his body, the root of thunder spirit seemed to feel his emotions, and purple and red lightning flashed continuously.
There was also a thin black arc of electricity that was also jumping.
Just as he was tense and about to rush forward, Sister Yue's cold voice suddenly came to his ear: "When you go up, just use your spirit. Remember not to take anything with you, otherwise it will be destroyed."
Luo Qingzhou came to his senses, retracted his gaze, suppressed the impulse in his heart, turned his head and looked at her and said, "Sister Yue, when can I go up?"
The moon-white figure looked at the night sky, was silent for a moment, and said: "Wait until the lightning vortex disappears."
Luo Qingzhou said worriedly, "What if Long'er can't bear it? She's already injured, and that lightning vortex looks extremely powerful. Even I was terrified when I saw it. I'm afraid Long'er can't bear it for too long."
The Yuebai figure retracted his gaze and looked at him, saying calmly: "If she can't even bear this, then it means she is not worthy of surviving this thunder tribulation."
After a pause, she continued, "Don't worry, she still has scales on her body that can help her resist."
Luo Qingzhou's gaze turned to the shadowy figure in the sky again.
"boom!"
Another thick bolt of lightning appeared!
Luo Qingzhou suddenly saw Long Er's tail, and his heart sank.
Long'er's tail was already full of cracks, and the flesh on it had almost been burnt, but the lightning actually penetrated into it through the wounds!
Amid the deafening thunder, Luo Qingzhou seemed to faintly hear Long Er's cry of pain.
He was anxious, but he could only continue to endure.
Nearly another hour passed.
In the sea of thunder, it seems that Long Er can no longer be seen.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to speak, his eyes fixed on the vortex of lightning. The lightning reflected in the child's hole kept flickering.
Finally, the speed of the lightning vortex gradually slowed down.
At the same time, the amount of lightning in the vortex is slowly decreasing.
After another half an incense stick of time, the vortex finally stopped and began to dissipate.
The remaining few lightning bolts, as if they had run out of energy, flickered for a while and finally went out.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou saw the pitiful figure in the dark clouds.
Long'er's tail was gone, replaced by a pair of bloody legs. The golden scales on his body had also disappeared.
She was naked, with her long hair hanging down, floating there quietly, motionless, as if she had lost all sound.
However, this thunder tribulation has not ended yet!
Before the sound beside him was heard, Luo Qingzhou's soul had already left his body, and he rushed into the sky with a "swish". He hugged the bloody body in his arms, then raised his head, looked through the dark clouds, and looked angrily at the lightning that had lit up again above!
On the boat.
The moon-white figure looked at him quietly.
When the first bolt of lightning struck, she withdrew her gaze and looked at his physical body standing beside her, then reached out and took out his storage ring.
A flash of light.
She took out his communication certificate from her storage ring, paused, and then took out her own communication certificate.
"Bang!"
The two precious tablets collided lightly with each other.
