502 Demonic Monkey Clearing Tribulation Part I (1/2)
Thunderclouds covered the sky, revealing a black hole in the center. As the dark clouds seethed, from a distance, it looked as if a huge eye was hanging in the middle of the tribulation clouds.
Tribulations Eye!
Every thunderbolt that cut across the sky seemed like the heavens' fury. Everyone had the feeling that a great disaster was imminent, let alone the person that had to go through the tribulation.
The Tribulation Eye spun, and an invisible force was gathering.
The monkey stood at the top of the mountain, facing the tribulation clouds alone. It felt as if it had been locked down by invisible auras.
These auras were without any foundation or support, but they were impossible to cut.
Despite how big the world was, there was nowhere to escape to as everyone had their own tribulation to clear.
The heavenly tribulations that cultivators had to go through were impossible to split the burden with. They could only face their own tribulations themselves.
If they cleared the tribulation, they'd become celestials. If they didn't, they'd turn into ashes.
[Come on!]
The stone monkey's golden eyes appeared determined. Ever since it made the decision to clear the tribulation, it had prepared itself.
Boom!
As if the opening of the world, a distorted divine thunderbolt came crashing down like a huge ax. It seemed like it had split the world into two and struck out toward the monkey's head.
What was an overwhelming calamity?
This was it!
In that instant, all the hairs on the monkey's body stood up. Its body instinctively sensed the impending danger, and it acted instinctively.
Everything took place very quickly!
The speed of the thunderbolt was extremely fast, comparable to light speed.
At the instant you saw them, they would have already struck.
The thunderbolt was as thick as a pillar, instantly drowning the monkey within it, causing it to be baptized by thunder.
Numbness, scorching heat, explosions... Every single hair on its body, every piece of its flesh, every one of its cells was shaking intensely. Its body was no longer within its control.
Even with its innate stone monkey body, it was still charred on the outside.
At that instant, countless cells turned into ashes, being wiped out.
In the three realms, sword cultivators had the greatest battle method.
With one sword in hand, they could lob off their opponent's head from 1000 li away.
However, the most ferocious killing method was undeniably the thunder art.
Under the flying sword, one's body would be disintegrated, but their soul would still have a chance to go through reincarnation.
However, thunder art was known as divine punishment, the king of all arts. It was the most vicious, capable of killing the body and wiping out the spirit!
Under the impact of thunder arts, all other arts would be wiped out. One's physical body would break down and their soul disintegrated. They wouldn't be able to go through reincarnation and would end up as a pile of ashes.
Even in sword arts, the greatest one of all was the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique!
All these were just what the monkey had previously heard of. Now that it had personally been shocked by the thunder did he realize how domineering thunder arts were.
Its body was charred. Under the impacts of the thunderbolts, even its soul was shaking. Countless thoughts that it had were thrown into disarray.
Only then did the monkey recall what the Patriarch had said in the past. It quickly held its breathing and focused its mind, stabilizing it.
Boom boom boom!
The first thunderbolt was like an outburst of floodwater. The auras had been gathered for very long, and now all of them gushed out together at one go.
Even the monkey's shoulders were slowly pressed down for it to assume a hunchback pose. Its entire body was shaking, its golden hair turning charred black. It was as if the monkey had become monkey-shaped charcoal.
Such a great activity had long since shaken up the entire Fangcun Mountain.
Seeing many streams of purple thunderbolts crashing down like heavy rain, many cultivators couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
”To think that it's the Grandmist Purple Thunder?”
”This monkey's foundation is too strong. To think that it has brought the descent of purple thunderbolts! In terms of the cultivation depths, this monkey can be said to be at the top of Fangcun Mountain!”
”It's just a monkey. How on earth did it gain such deep comprehension within three years? Could it be that it's another battle god in the three realms?”
...
Everyone present cultivated in Fangcun Mountain, a sacred land within the three realms. Putting their cultivation aside, they wouldn't have bad judgment.
The tribulation thunderbolts had different colors based on their prowess. They were white, red, gold, azure, and purple respectively!
White thunderbolt was the weakest, and purple was the strongest.
The heavenly tribulation would send down thunderbolts of a greater prowess based on the cultivators' achievements.
To think that the monkey could bring down purple thunderbolts. Everyone was shocked by this.
The monkey, as the one concerned, couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.
It faced the thunderbolts and went through a thorough baptism time and time again. It felt that even its indestructible stone monkey body was starting to melt.
This mustn't go on!
How did one's body go up against heavenly prowess?
