Chapter 563: First Bolt Successfully Taken! (1/2)

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and opened his eyes that were filled with determination. He leaped far and increased the distance from the two snakes.

The Fire Fang Snake and the Black Water Snake did not pay any attention to Lin Mu at all. It was not that they did not want to but rather they could not afford to. They simply looked up at the sky, while spirit Qi waves continued to rise from their bodies.

~Rumble~

The first bolt of tribulation lightning started to form in the cloud as it gathered together. Two huge 'mouths' opened up in the clouds and it looked like the lightning bolts were their tongues.

Lin Mu braced himself as he didn't know if the lightning would still strike him at this distance or not. The distance that he had chosen was double the distance of the Tribulation platform that Lin Mu had seen at the Tri Cauldron Peony sect.

~boom~

The two tribulation bolts were fully formed and finally fell from the sky with a loud thunderclap.

~Zap~

The bolts struck the two snakes as they hissed in pain. Spirit Qi swirled around them acting like barriers but it did not seem like it was effective.

~shua~

Flames came out of the Fire Fang Snakes' mouth as they swirled around, joining the spirit Qi barrier that had just collapsed. Blood trickled out of its scales that had been broken from the tribulation lightning bolt but it still managed to withstand it.

The Black Water snake was in a similar condition with its scales being broken. The only difference was that these scales also seemed to be burned, unlike the Fire Fang Snake. The Fire Fang Snake lived near volcanoes and had good hesitance to heat and fire.

Even the heat of the tribulation lightning bolt was enough for it to withstand. But one could not tell if this would be naturally possible or was this due to the intervention of Lin Mu in the form of Beast Qi.

The Black Water Snake spat out a blue mist from its mouth that surround his body and attached to his wounds. The bleeding soon stopped as the flesh got stiffer.

The Black Water Snake had used its venom which could make a victim's blood clot in its body on himself!

If it were another human or creature, their blood would freeze in their veins, eventually killing them but to Black Water Snake who had resistance to his own venom, he could use it as blood clotting medicine.

Lin Mu saw that the might of the two tribulation bolts was nearly the same as that of Alchemist Bilao.

'Seems like it is manageable.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

”How many bolts do you think there will be senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm… if these beasts were normally undergoing the heavenly tribulation with their original talent, even this single bolt should have been enough for them to break through. But with the improvement of the Beast Qi, I reckon they will have at least two more bolts.” Xukong stated.

”I guess, I should get two attempts then. One with each snake.” Lin Mu said.

”Be careful though, you will need to time it properly. If it is too early or too late, the Punishment lightning bolts will descend instead of the Pure Tribulation lightning. We do not know if that will work for you or not.” Xukong warned.
