Chapter 46

"Brother Shen," Shan Heyuan said softly, suppressing his trembling, "Stop practicing."

Shen Duheng has already Peak Core Formation and has been stuck there for a long time. Shan Heyuan is afraid that he will be implicated and struck by lightning.

Some people's Heavenly Tribulation are not particularly significant to begin with, but if they are affected by the Heavenly Tribulation of other cultivators, they can become a hundred times more powerful.

Shen Duheng walked over and glanced outside. "Don't worry, I won't be caught up in this Heavenly Tribulation."

Shan Heyuan: "Huh?"

Shen Duheng: "The Cultivation Method I practice is not an ordinary Cultivation Method. Even if I were to Tribulation Transcendence, I wouldn't be affected."

Shan Heyuan listened to his words with a blank expression, but he understood what he meant. If that was the case, then there was indeed no need to fear the Heavenly Tribulation.

They stood behind the window.

Because the windows of this inn are so large, even from a distance, one can clearly see the situation of the Heavenly Tribulation outside.

The thunder drowned out all other sounds; they could hear nothing but thunder, and couldn't even sense the presence of anyone else.

The two of them stood by the window and kept looking out.

The Tribulation Lightning is not just a simple flash of lightning; it contains world-destroying power.

For some reason, Shan Heyuan was particularly afraid of this Lightning Tribulation.

They watched from dusk until after 10 p. m., and the Tribulation Lightning still hadn't stopped.

Not only did it not stop, but several cultivators were also caught up in it.

Some were passively drawn in, while others actively entered into it.

Then, the already loud thunder started going off like firecrackers during the New Year. Before it stopped here, it started going off there again, boom boom boom, as if it wouldn't stop until it had shattered everything on the earth.

Shan Heyuan whispered, "Aren't they doing this on purpose? Are they trying to take advantage of that powerful being's Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Perhaps. Some people get stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, and having no other options or way out, they can only try this risky method."

"That's incredibly audacious! They actually dared to participate in such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation?"

"They will reach the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation. If they can be brought down, they will; if not, there will be no loss."

"What if I get struck by lightning and killed?"

"Then we'll just have to accept our fate. Being struck dead is better than dying of old age."

Shan Heyuan felt a tightness in his chest.

After observing for a while, he discovered that, apart from that powerful figure, the Heavenly Tribulation of other cultivators were not nearly as terrifying.

The Heavenly Tribulation of that powerful being was like a cannonball, while the Heavenly Tribulation of the other cultivators reverted to firecrackers.

Firecrackers are dangerous, but in most cases they won't kill you.

Just as Shan Heyuan was getting tired of watching and wanted to go to sleep, a Tribulation Lightning struck his ear.

He was startled and his whole body trembled.

He stared wide-eyed at Shen Duheng, only to see that Shen Duheng's expression was solemn.

Shen Duheng explained in a deep voice, "Some people from our inn were also chasing the Heavenly Tribulation, and they must have successfully drawn it down, but now they've been struck down."

"Why chase them in an inn? Shouldn't we be chasing them in the wilderness?" Shan Heyuan said, hugging his blanket tightly. "Aren't you worried the innkeeper will come looking for you tomorrow and make you pay for the damages, even if you lose your pants?"

At this moment, Shan Heyuan felt fear, but not much.

He knew that someone was chasing the Heavenly Tribulation here, but he didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

There's no way to leave this place amidst the endless Tribulation Lightning. Maybe I should pack up and go to sleep early. Perhaps everything will be back to normal when I wake up.

However, as he packed his things, unsure whether to sleep there or sneak out...

Another bolt of Tribulation Lightning exploded in his ears, but this time it didn't strike the cultivator chasing the Tribulation Lightning next to him; instead, it struck Shen Duheng directly on the head.

It all happened so suddenly.

Shan Heyuan slowly turned his head and watched as Tribulation Lightning thicker than a water vat struck Shen Duheng directly on the head.

With just one strike, Shen Duheng's hair was completely singed.

What's going on?!

Shan Heyuan was stunned. Wasn't it said that he wouldn't be struck by lightning?

What's going on now?!

Shen Duheng standing right next to him when a blinding flash of lightning engulfed him.

After a while, he finally noticed Shen Duheng's expression.

Shen Duheng also looked very surprised, and a rare look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

Tribulation Lightning struck him from above.

Before they could react, Tribulation Lightning bolts struck down, each one thicker and more terrifying than the last.

Finally, they even slashed down the room they were in!

Shan Heyuan suddenly fell into the rubble with a "whoosh," landing hard on his butt.

Sand and gravel rained down on him, making it impossible for him to open his eyes for a moment.

Fortunately, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so this level of accident wouldn't have injured him.

When he came to his senses, Shan Heyuan was sitting on a pile of rubble, with lightning dancing around him.

It's no exaggeration to say that his hair stood on end, his feet were tingling, and he could clearly feel the electric current.

Yet, despite the incredibly close distance and the terrifying Tribulation Lightning, not a single bolt struck him!

Forget about hitting him, I didn't even get a sliver of skin on him!

The Tribulation Lightning, like water, poured down with terrifying force, yet it seemed to possess a self-awareness, carefully turning sideways and precisely moving away from him.

What's going on?

Shan Heyuan thought to himself, he had also Peak Foundation Establishment.

The Tribulation Lightning has already been drawn down, dancing right next to him. Shouldn't it also strike him, ensuring his successful advancement to the Core Formation Stage?

Why was he the only one overlooked when everyone else was taken care of?

Discriminate?

Within the same ruins.

Shen Duheng and another cultivator were undergoing their tribulation with double the intensity, as the Tribulation Lightning relentlessly lashed at them.

Shan Heyuan sat on the ground, like a specially invited spectator. The grand scene was not intended for his participation; he was only allowed to watch.

That's outrageous.

The Tribulation Lightning your Fu Province were even more lenient than those in Jingzhishan Town.

Chapter 46

Shan Heyuan sat amidst the shattered rubble, his eyes filled with nothing but a blinding white light; he could hear nothing and see nothing else.

It was unclear whether other cultivators outside had been caught in the Tribulation Lightning. Within Qingmian City, lightning raged, the surroundings were shrouded in white, and tremors reverberated across the ground, originating from beneath his buttocks and spreading throughout his entire body.

The sound was so loud it almost deafened him.

Covering it with your hands won't help.

He had to use his Spiritual Power to plug his ears to avoid actually being deafened.

Fortunately, he is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his physique is strong enough.

He sat on the ground and got used to it after a while.

However, when one can't hear clearly, one seems somewhat sluggish.

A few meters away, the Tribulation Lightning bombarded Shen Duheng relentlessly.

Those bolts of purple lightning were practically trying to kill him.

Shen Duheng showed no weakness whatsoever, drawing his spirit sword to fight against the enormous Tribulation Lightning.

Despite the fierce battle between Tribulation Lightning and Shen Duheng, both sides completely avoided Shan Heyuan.

They fought from one side to the other, and then from the other side back to this side.

Shan Heyuan sat in the middle like a pillar, staring blankly up at the grand Tribulation Lightning, and also observing Shen Duheng's Swordsmanship.

The Tribulation Lightning slowly turned from purple to black, and its terrifying, world-destroying aura was somewhat similar to the Lightning Tribulation of a powerful being in the distance.

However, that powerful being was most likely undergoing the Lightning Tribulation of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which was a whole realm higher than Shen Duheng.

The fact that the two people's Lightning Tribulation tribulations were similar was enough to demonstrate the terror of the Tribulation Lightning that Shen Duheng was facing.

The spirit swords in Shen Duheng's hands were all ordinary spirit swords he bought from outside, nothing special.

Shan Heyuan watched helplessly as one spirit sword after another was ruined in his hands. In the end, he had no more spirit swords to draw, so he went straight to meet him with his bare hands.
