Chapter 117: Chapter 117: A Thread of Lightning from the Rebirth Lightning Pool

Below the Thunder Pool, within the Accumulated Thunder Palace.

Despite being busy drinking with the Eternal Realm Great Demon senior, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain had also released their Divine Senses, keenly observing the tribulation the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat Great Demon was undergoing above.

The sixth wave of lightning arrived with menacing force, its power equivalent to the sum of the previous five waves. The Nine-tailed Spirit Cat seemed on the brink of perishing.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly resounded from the void.

A simple, clear ”Retreat” echoed between heaven and earth.

Amazingly, the surging sixth wave of lightning completely reversed its course, retracting back into the clouds.

How powerful! What level of cultivation could achieve this?

Seeing this, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain turned pale, their eyes wide and mouths agape, struggling to comprehend the shock they felt. All three had their memories erased, so they were unaware of Ye Yun’s current cultivation base. After all, the Three Saints were also peerless Great Demons, so they could vaguely guess that this Master likely possessed a cultivation base at least at the Tenth-Layer Peak of the Eternal Realm. He was just half a step away from becoming a True God.

The Big Black Cat hovered in mid-air, barely clinging to life. It had already resigned itself to death, but unexpectedly, the Master had spoken, uttering a single word that sent the menacing Heavenly Tribulation retreating. The Big Black Cat was both stunned and overjoyed; the Master had once again saved its life.

The dark clouds in the sky still lingered, layered and piled up like a colossal black city. Thunder serpents continued to coil and swirl within this black city, as if still brewing something.

Ye Yun glanced up at the void, his expression suddenly turning frosty. With him present, did this Heavenly Tribulation still intend to continue?

”Scram!” Ye Yun roared.

This roar formed an unimaginably massive storm, shooting skyward.

BOOM!

The black city formed by the dark clouds was blasted apart in an instant. The dispersed clouds scattered in all directions, vanishing almost instantaneously. Not a shred of cloud remained in the sky above Accumulated Thunder Mountain.

Long-absent sunlight returned, its brilliant glow shining down on the Big Black Cat and the surface of the Thunder Pool. Under the sun, the Thunder Pool emitted a dazzling blue luster, like a sapphire.

”Thank you, Master, for saving my life!”

The Big Black Cat was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It struggled to its feet and kowtowed towards the direction in the void from where the voice had come.

Looking at the severely injured Big Black Cat, Ye Yun gently furrowed his brow.

Under normal circumstances, as long as a cultivator survived several waves of Heavenly Tribulation, those in the Destiny Realm could absorb its energy to temper their physical bodies, further refining themselves. However, Ye Yun had forcibly dispersed the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, causing the Big Black Cat to miss this step.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun fumbled at his wrist and drew out a bolt of golden lightning. This golden lightning bolt also emanated the terrifying aura of a Heavenly Tribulation. Ye Yun gently kneaded the golden lightning in his hand a few times, and its terrifying aura began to diminish rapidly.

With a light tap, the golden lightning flew through the void and entered between the Big Black Cat’s eyebrows.

The Big Black Cat was instantly invigorated, its body trembling. Strands of golden light permeated its black fur. Enveloped in the golden light, the Big Black Cat radiated a sacred aura. Its injuries began to heal at an unimaginable speed, and its physical body was also being tempered by this mysterious golden lightning, growing increasingly stronger. Even more astonishingly, the Big Black Cat’s cultivation base began to rapidly escalate at this moment!

This is incredible! What kind of lightning tempering did that white-robed Master provide for the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat?

The Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain watched, wide-eyed and mouths agape in disbelief. The three of them, being Thunderbolt-attribute Behemoths, were naturally extremely sensitive to lightning. They sensed an unimaginable divine power within that golden bolt of lightning, seemingly of an even higher quality than the Heavenly Tribulation.

But how could they know? This bolt of lightning, after Ye Yun had processed it, had its quality significantly reduced. Otherwise, the Big Black Cat would not have been able to withstand it; it would have instantly exploded and perished.

「About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,」

The golden light enveloping the Big Black Cat slowly dissipated, and its aura grew increasingly powerful. At this moment, it had actually advanced to the Destiny Realm Second Level.

The Big Black Cat opened its eyes. It appeared energized and refreshed, every black hair on its body gleamed. Within its eyes, a faint glint of golden lightning now flickered.

Tears suddenly streamed from the Big Black Cat’s eyes. The Master not only saved my life but also bestowed upon me a mysterious bolt of lightning, helping me temper my body and advance my cultivation!

”Master, thank you so much!” The Big Black Cat knelt in the void, wailing loudly.

”Alright, alright, stop crying. Hurry up and go stabilize your realm!” Ye Yun smiled helplessly, rubbing his brow. With a flick of his little finger, the Big Black Cat immediately fell back into the Thunder Pool.

The Big Black Cat’s body shrank as it sank into the Thunder Pool. It closed its eyes and began to stabilize its realm.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded silently. This golden lightning of his was a strand he had taken from the Rebirth Lightning Pool. This Rebirth Lightning Pool was of an incredibly high grade, surpassing even the God level. Thus, even this single strand of Rebirth Thunder contained a mighty, mysterious energy potent enough to surpass the Heavenly Tribulation.

「Inside the Accumulated Thunder Palace.」

The Big Black Horse bared its teeth, its blood-red tongue darting out to lick its lips, a fervent gleam in its eyes. That bolt of golden lightning was an irresistible temptation for him as well. He put down his wine jar, then plucked up his courage and carefully sent Ye Yun a voice transmission.

”Master, could I also have a bolt of that lightning?”

After saying this, the Big Black Horse instantly regretted it. Was it not too shameless of me to directly ask the Master for something?

”Certainly!” Ye Yun smiled faintly.

He reached out, plucked a strand of Rebirth Thunder from his storage, and sent it through the void directly into the crown of the Big Black Horse’s head.

”Thank you, Master!”

The Big Black Horse’s entire body shuddered, a joyful expression spreading across its face. He quickly closed his eyes and began to refine the golden lightning. Even though he was an Eternal Realm Great Demon standing at the pinnacle of the Cangnan Continent, he still coveted this bolt of lightning immensely.

As the Big Black Horse began refining it, he suddenly discovered that this mysterious lightning was hundreds of times more powerful than the one the Big Black Cat had received. A chill ran down the Big Black Horse’s spine. Only then did he realize that the golden lightning absorbed by the Little Cat had been processed by the Master. He sat upright and focused all his effort on refining it.

”This...”

Seeing the Eternal Realm Great Demon senior close his eyes to cultivate, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain couldn’t help but exchange glances, feeling somewhat restless. At this moment, the three of them wished they could also become the white-robed Master’s demon beasts.

”Big Brother,” the Kui Bull said with naive earnestness, ”why don’t we discuss with this Demon Clan senior about following the Master from now on? Then we wouldn’t have to cultivate on this Accumulated Thunder Mountain anymore!”

”That might not be appropriate, right? The three of us aren’t qualified. Look at the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat; its cultivation base is already a whole level higher than mine...” the Thunder Dragon lamented.

He was at the Destiny Realm First Level, while the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat was now at the Destiny Realm Second Level.
