Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"..."
After Lu Ya settled down, tribulation lightning within the Tribulation Clouds overhead began to strike down one bolt after another.
Although Mo Wen had deliberately weakened the tribulation lightning's might, what Lu Ya faced was ultimately the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation, and its power remained astonishing.
Though Lu Ya was not in danger of perishing, his mana began to drain wildly, and he fell into danger several times.
Fortunately, when the fourth wave of tribulation lightning descended, Lu Ya gained a faint insight and began using the might of the tribulation lightning to temper his body.
Coupled with Mo Wen's exquisite control through Divine Sense, although Lu Ya suffered considerable injuries and paid an enormous price, he still successfully passed this Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation.
"Phew..."
"I finally succeeded!"
"It seems that the next time I bring down a Thunder Tribulation, I can't expend so much mental energy!"
"Whether they succeed or fail still depends on the Tribulation Transcender's strength. Constantly going easy on them isn't a solution!"
After the final bolt of tribulation lightning fell, Mo Wen could not help muttering to himself.
He had gone easy on the targets during two consecutive Thunder Tribulations, and he was somewhat exhausted.
It seemed that unless there were special circumstances in the future, he could not keep going easy on them.
If he did this every time, the job of striking lightning truly consumed too much mental energy.
"He succeeded!"
"Hahaha!"
"My son has successfully passed the Transformation Thunder Tribulation!"
"Someone, return to the Demon Emperor Palace first and prepare a banquet! Once my son completes his transformation, This Emperor will personally celebrate for him!"
"..."
The weight hanging over Di Jun's heart finally lifted.
He loudly issued an Imperial Decree to the Demon Gods beneath him, intending to properly celebrate Lu Ya.
After all, the Demon Clan's previous two Transformation Thunder Tribulations had both failed. His son's successful tribulation crossing not only proved to the outside world that members of the Demon Clan could successfully pass their tribulations, but also proclaimed to the entire Demon Clan that the Golden Crow Clan was the supreme imperial bloodline of the Demon Clan. It would make those who refused to accept the Golden Crow Clan's rule understand that the younger generation of the Golden Crow Clan also possessed supreme potential!
"We obey Your Majesty's Imperial Decree!"
"..."
Upon hearing Di Jun's Imperial Decree, Demon Gods immediately flew toward the Demon Emperor Palace.
Rumble...
At that moment, Heavenly Dao Might appeared in the sky and intertwined with the Tribulation Clouds.
Astonishing Heavenly Dao Might enveloped Lu Ya as Heavenly Dao Blessing slowly descended.
Transformation Spirit Rain, Merit, and Fortune continuously surged toward Lu Ya.
Within the Tribulation Clouds, the might of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace around Mo Wen trembled and drew wisps of tribulation power into itself.
"The opportunity is here!"
"After working so hard for so long, it's time for me to collect some wages!"
Mo Wen's Divine Sense also trembled as he gradually drew upon the might of the Thunder Tribulation and intercepted nearly a tenth of the Heavenly Dao Blessing, guiding it toward where his Divine Sense was located.
As a worker, this was naturally the happiest moment.
Once he collected his wages, he could call it a day and head back in peace.
"Hmm?"
"Why is there still a trace of Spirit Rain, Merit, and Fortune that hasn't descended?"
"Could someone dare scheme for my nephew's Heavenly Dao Blessing right before us brothers?"
"..."
However, at that moment, Taiyi suddenly discovered that traces of Transformation Spirit Rain, Merit, and Fortune above Lu Ya had not descended directly. Instead, they were concealing themselves within the Tribulation Clouds.
This caused him to pause slightly, and two sharp glints flashed through his eyes.
Hearing this, Di Jun's expression also darkened as he looked toward the Tribulation Clouds above.
At this moment, not only them, but even the many Great Powers and Saints hidden in the shadows and observing this Thunder Tribulation discovered what was happening.
In particular, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Nuwa, who had previously appeared in Honghuang South to investigate Kong Xuan's Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
The Divine Senses of these five Saints all probed toward the Tribulation Clouds above Lu Ya.
"This is bad!"
"Have I been discovered?"
"This..."
Just as his wages were about to reach him, Mo Wen's Divine Sense suddenly trembled, causing those traces of Spirit Rain, Fortune, and Merit to halt.
Taiyi really cared about his nephew.
Mo Wen had acted so discreetly, yet that fellow had still discovered him.
Now, should he continue collecting this hardship pay, or give it up?
Before he could think further, Mo Wen decided he should first make the Tribulation Clouds disperse. Perhaps he could take advantage of the chaos to leave with his hardship pay.
"Hmph!"
"My son's blessings were bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. How could they disappear along with the Tribulation Clouds?"
"Wouldn't that be a waste?"
"Second Brother!"
"Keep those Heavenly Dao Blessings!"
Seeing the Tribulation Clouds tremble faintly as though they were about to disperse, Di Jun's expression sank and he snorted coldly.
However, he did not believe anyone would dare scheme against his son in front of the two brothers.
Instead, he believed that the Transformation Thunder Tribulation had caused these blessings not to descend. Perhaps for some special reason, they would disperse along with the Tribulation Clouds.
"Rest assured, Eldest Brother!"
"Since these blessings are rewards from the Heavenly Dao, how can they be wasted?"
Taiyi echoed him, suddenly raising his hand and condensing an astonishing force that shrouded the wisp of Spirit Rain, Fortune, and Merit within the Tribulation Clouds.
That force contained the might of the Innate Treasure, the Chaos Bell. It was incomparably terrifying and instantly suppressed those traces of Spirit Rain, Merit, and Fortune.
At that moment, a wisp of Heavenly Dao Might trembled slightly and directly scattered Taiyi's suppressive pressure.
The Transformation Spirit Rain, Fortune, and Merit intercepted by Mo Wen's Divine Sense immediately broke away from the Tribulation Clouds and fell directly toward Lu Ya.
Very quickly, they fused into Lu Ya's body and vanished without a trace.
"Damn it!"
Sensing this, Mo Wen immediately became extremely furious.
However, at this moment, he had already discovered one astonishing Divine Sense after another appearing around the Tribulation Clouds.
This left him with no choice but to first activate the might of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace and withdraw that wisp of Divine Sense.
Very quickly, that wisp of his Divine Sense returned to the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace and reentered his body.
Mo Wen then abruptly rose to his feet and looked toward the scene of Lu Ya's transformation displayed on the side wall of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace.
His eyes were already burning with anger.
Di Jun and Taiyi simply refused to be reasonable!
He had struck lightning and gone easy on Lu Ya. Even if he had no merit, he had at least worked hard. They should at least give him a little hardship pay, right?
Yet Taiyi had directly intervened and forcibly blocked his hardship pay, allowing Heavenly Dao Might to reclaim it and distribute it to Lu Ya again.
They had not left him even the slightest benefit!
Wasn't this bullying a worker?
Mo Wen really was not being stingy.
Did they not know that cutting off someone's source of income was like killing them...?
He had finally set aside some hardship pay for himself, yet he had not received a single bit of it. How could he not be angry?
If everyone acted like Di Jun and Taiyi, how could he fairly and impartially collect hardship pay in the future?
Even his motivation to strike lightning had been cut in half!
No, this could not be left at that!
He had to find a way to conceal his tracks while making those two Demon Emperors—no, making all the powerful figures of the Primordial World—understand one principle: if they did not want to pay even the slightest benefit, there would be no good outcome...
