When hot and cold air currents collided, they often brought extreme changes in weather, such as torrential rain, hail, tornadoes, and so on.
Many places where wildfires suddenly broke out, or where volcanoes erupted, would experience thunderstorms of varying intensity.
This was because the hot air and dust generated by wildfires encountered cooler air at high altitudes, causing hot and cold air currents to collide.
Chen Jue's breakthrough had not only heated the mountaintop until moisture evaporated, but had also single-handedly created a cumulonimbus cloud above Leigong Peak by "artificial" means.
Cumulonimbus clouds were also called thunderstorm clouds, and their appearance often brought lightning and thunderstorms of varying intensity.
The reason these bolts of lightning struck Chen Jue inside the Stone Temple was that his cultivation, or rather his control over nuclear fusion within his body, had reached its most critical moment.
As vast numbers of atoms fused, countless electrons broke free from the restraint of their nuclei and began roaming wildly through his body, forming countless positive and negative electric fields.
Electric current, after all, was energy produced by the directional movement of electrons.
So many electrons roaming uncontrollably amounted to countless electrical short circuits occurring both inside and outside Chen Jue's body.
In simpler terms, by employing controlled nuclear fusion, Chen Jue had not only become a miniature human star, but also a human discharge device, a human power bank, or perhaps a human lightning rod, exerting both repulsion and attraction on the lightning and thunderstorms forming overhead.
That was what had brought about this spectacular sight, so much like a cultivator undergoing a heavenly tribulation in a cultivation novel!
But as the lightning kept striking, Chen Jue began to sense that something was off.
He discovered that his body seemed like a bottomless pit, possessed of an
