The cosmic time domain lasted for a moment and then disappeared. In Ye Li's opinion, the lightning column would definitely hit the ground and then disappear into thin air. No matter how powerful it was, it could only break up a part of the ground and would definitely not be able to hurt him after that.
However, what he never expected was that this pillar of thunder did not blast into the ground as he wished.
The moment this pillar of thunder disappeared in the universe, it turned a corner without warning and caught up with Ye Li who had just jumped out of the circle at lightning speed.
The huge pillar of lightning directly hit Ye Li's body. Ye Li's eyes suddenly turned white and his vision disappeared in an instant.
After a roar, Ye Li could no longer hear any sound, and all the sounds around him disappeared in his ears.
Ye Li, who had lost his hearing and vision, was filled with fear. The power of thunder surged into his body at this moment, and all his movements came to a halt at this moment.
The powerful force of thunder flowed through his muscles and bones, and the terrifying destructive force was destroying Ye Li's body inch by inch.
Ye Li, who had lost his sight and hearing, seemed to have entered another world. When one cannot see or hear, one will instinctively feel fear.
At this moment, severe pain suddenly came from all over Ye Li's body, and the power of thunder seemed to be tearing Ye Li's entire body apart.
Every inch of his flesh and bones seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. A feeling of being torn apart spread through his body, and the severe pain almost overwhelmed Ye Li's mind.
Ye Li's body had collapsed to the ground from a standing position, with lightning flashing on his body. His face was distorted to the extreme, and pain was transmitted through every inch of his flesh and blood.
In Ye Li's perception, his body was being struck by thunder, and only when his flesh and blood shattered did he feel a sense of relief.
Every inch of flesh and blood that was shattered by the thunder could reduce Ye Li's pain a little.
In severe pain, Ye Li couldn't help but want to decompose all his flesh and blood, as if this method of decomposing flesh and blood was the key to ending the pain.
However, the decomposing flesh and blood was not just an illusion; this decomposition was actually happening inside Ye Li's body.
As Ye Li lost his willpower, his flesh and blood were gradually decomposing with his acquiescence. The decomposed flesh and blood were like dead and could no longer feel any pain, so the feeling of severe pain would disappear somewhat.
"Ye Li, don't give up! If you succumb to the oppression of pain, your body will be completely decomposed!!!"
Linglong's voice instantly penetrated into Ye Li's soul.
Qing Zhou had shouted until his throat was hoarse, but it still could not have any effect on Ye Li, because Qing Zhou had no way of getting his voice into the depths of Ye Li's soul. Ye Li, who had lost his hearing, could not hear Qing Zhou speaking.
Only Linglong, Ye Li's natal deity, could transmit the sound into Ye Li's soul and awaken Ye Li's will at the critical moment.
"What, I'm decomposing!?"
Ye Li was still a little confused and didn't react for a while.
"You idiot, as long as you don't lose a bit of your will, your flesh and blood will be decomposed. If you don't want to endure the pain and pressure, then you can only choose to die!!!"
Linglong's tone was full of annoyance.
After hearing Linglong's words, Ye Li suddenly woke up. Although he couldn't see anything with his eyes, Ye Li could still look inside his body.
After all, when he looks inward at his body, he is not seeing with his eyes, but feeling himself with his soul.
Sure enough, his body was gradually disintegrating in the power of thunder. The power of thunder and lightning continued to impact various parts of his body. His body was barely able to be shattered by the pull of his own qi and blood.
However, every time Ye Li's will surrendered a little, the flesh and blood in his body would be disintegrated a little. The loss of will would cause him to lose control of his own blood and energy.
The force that was trying desperately to unite his body was also weakening as his will continued to weaken. Once his will succumbed to the pain, his body would completely give up resistance, all his flesh and blood would be completely shattered in an instant, and his entire body would completely turn into a mass of minced meat.
"It turns out that the Thunder Tribulation is not testing my strength at all, but my will!!!"
This thought instantly flashed through Ye Li's mind, and he had understood the true meaning of the Thunder Tribulation.
Lei Ting was not testing how strong his current strength was at all. Whether he was strong or not at this moment was meaningless to the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Because Ye Li was originally on the path of cultivation, he could grow even if he was weak, and the real strength of a strong man lies in his willpower.
People with strong willpower may not necessarily become strong people, after all, there are also talents and opportunities.
However, people without strong willpower will never be able to become truly strong. No matter how many opportunities and talents they have, without the willpower to control them, a person will never be able to improve his or her strength to a great extent.
Although Ye Li had many opportunities and was very talented, if he did not have enough willpower, he would never have reached where he is today.
The loneliness he endured in the gourd of the universe for so many years was enough to drive a person crazy. The life like a prisoner was something that most people could not endure.
What's more, on the road of cultivation, the pain and fear of death that Ye Li endured in order to become stronger was definitely no less than that of any other master. His strength was gained through real cultivation, not by taking shortcuts.
After realizing that the Thunder Tribulation tested one's willpower, Ye Li began to forcibly control his own will. His heart was screaming madly and the pain was tormenting his will.
"As long as you relax your will, the pain will be reduced a bit." This temptation was undoubtedly enormous for Ye Li who was in severe pain.
However, "as long as your will relaxes a little, your life will be lost by 10%." This fear of death deeply stimulates Ye Li.
Ye Li gritted his teeth, veins bulged all over his body, and he held his breath in his stomach, refusing to let it out no matter what.
He endured the pain and didn't dare to relax his willpower at all.
No matter how strong the temptation to give up resistance was, Ye Li did not dare to relax his will in the slightest. He did not want to die here, and he had more expectations to realize in his heart.
All the desires gathered into a courage in Ye Li's heart, which enabled him to grit his teeth and fight against the pain. (To be continued)
