Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 588 - Little Shrubbyʼs Tribulation

~Rumble~

The Dark Tribulation Clouds in the sky rumbled as the lightning swam within them. The flashes of lightning lit up the mountain and the forest at every few seconds. The beasts of the forest were scared and did not make even a single noise.

The pressure exerted by tribulation clouds was something most beasts below the Nascent Soul realm could not bear easily. Lin Mu though felt nothing from this, which felt strange to him.

According to what he had seen and learned till now, even other Nascent Soul realm cultivators should be afraid of it. Tribulation lightning was very strong and even a Adult Stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator would get injured if he was not careful.

The existence of tribulation platforms was entirely because of this and they helped reduce the impact and pressures of the heavenly tribulations. Jing Luo was thinking along the lines of this as well, and thatʼs why he asked if Little Shrubby wanted one.

But Lin Mu knew Little Shrubby did not need it, and neither did the beast himself. There was a certain level of pride in its bloodline that would not allow him. They were still unsure of what bloodline he had, as there were far too many of them mixing together.

At first, the dominant one was the Flash Fire Liger, but now it was hard to tell which one was truly dominant. Not to mention the seven beast burst confirmed the existence of at least seven bloodlines that were merging together.

~Rumble~

The tribulation clouds gathered up together and the tribulation lightning within them arced across the surface. Little Shrubby looked up at the sky with determination as his aura flared up.

~ROAR~

He let out a defiant roar at the skies, taunting them to hurry up.

~BOOM~

The Skies were quick to answer too as the tribulation lightning descended from the clouds, striking Little Shrubby. The impact of the lightning bolt spread around him as the snow directly evaporated from the heat.

The trees nearby were shaken as well due to the force, but Lin Mu stood there unhindered. He had felt the full pressure of the bolt and even then found it to be quite bearable.

ʼThis is truly astonishing… wonder what would happen if I get hit by one of them?ʼ Lin Wu thought to himself.

It was a rather dangerous thought, and not many people would dare to think of something like that. Most would like to stay away from tribulation lightning as much as they could.

~GRRRR~

Little Shrubby bore the tribulation lightning with relatively less difficulty and stood his ground.

~ROAR~

He shook off the numbness and roared back up at the sky as his aura stabilizing again. His body had no traces of being hit by tribulation lightning and was fine. Usually one would see burn marks or such injuries, but for Little Shrubby who had resistance to heat and fire, there was no such thing.

~Rumble~

The clouds thundered once again as more tribulation lightning gathered up in the clouds. Lin Mu could tell that this tribulation was a bit different from the other two he had seen.

”Why is it so fast?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Look up at the sky with spatial perception,” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu looked up and first saw the dark tribulation clouds, but then they faded away under his gaze and the spatial fabric hidden behind it was visible to him.

”The spatial tear… how is it so wide? And the borders of the Minor plane… they are thin too.” Lin Mu said upon seeing it.

”Exactly. Since itʼs a minor plane, the restrictions that come with a true world donʼt come. And thus the tribulation will have an easier time traveling through the void. Breaking into the world is even easier for it.” Xukong explained.

”I see… no wonder the minor plane appeared as an illusion during the tribulation of the two snakes and the border became weak enough for me to enter it easily.” Lin Mu spoke.

And just as he spoke, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky.

~BOOM~

This time Little Shrubby was forced a little lower due to the force of the Tribulation lightning, but he still managed to hold on. A little fur could also be seen fallen around him. But it did not fall due to being burned off, rather it fell due to the impact of the lightning.

The ground around him, which was free from snow due to the last lightning bolt, was now cracked due to Little Shrubbyʼs paws digging into it. Even if it was solid rock, it was unable to bear the force of the Tribulation lightning.

Once the glare of the lightning faded away, Lin Mu looked at little Shrubby who was still standing.

~GRRRR~

Little Shrubby felt numb due to the Lightning as it coursed inside his body. Lin Muʼs spirit sense entered his Dantian and he saw the core being cracked by the tribulation lightning. About half of it had been cracked already.

~ROAR~

After little Shrubby managed to gain back the control on his body, he roared back at the clouds. His aura had increased by another level as spirit Qi swirled around him.

~BOOM~

The next tribulation lightning bolt was twice as thick as before and fell with great force.

~CRACK~

A loud cracking sound could be heard as the rock below little Shrubby was directly shattered and he sank into the ground. The shattered rocks were also scorched black, but Little Shrubby just threw them all away with a stomp.

This time he did not feel numb, as the loud throbbing of his heart could be heard.

~Badum~Badum~Badum~

The sound of his heart got louder and louder till it matched the tempo of the tribulation lightning. Soon his body started to glow in a red light as spirit Qi fluctuations radiated from it, along with heat.

The heat directly melted the snow in a radius of a hundred meters, drying it out completely.

”Is he gonna…?” Lin Mu muttered.
