Chapter 336: Mo Wuji’s Lightning Tribulation
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Before the first lightning bolt could land on him, Mo Wuji already shot out multiple electroballs. Since the time that he opened his first meridian, he had survived many hits from such lightning bolts before. But even though he did not fear lightning strikes, this was a heavenly tribulation after all, so who knew how strong the lightning bolts would be?
He did not make any preparations for this heavenly tribulation, even not possessing a single decent piece of defensive spiritual equipment. Moreover, he had witnessed a Class 6 demonic beast undergoing a real lightning tribulation in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. That scene remained fresh in his mind even till this day.
”Crack crack crack!”
Mo Wuji’s electroballs collided with the falling lightning bolts, causing flashes of light to explode out. The lightning bolts from above immediately blew Mo Wuji’s to bits, and landed on him without being obstructed at all.
”Crack! Crack!” The crisp sound of Mo Wuji’s bones breaking could be heard. One of the lightning bolts even created a wound that ran from his forehead all the way to his chin.
Facing such a terrifying lightning tribulation, Mo Wuji’s heart sank. How would he survive this? This was just the first round of lightning bolts, and who knew how many more awaited him.
The Heaven Calamity Stone gave off a glow of spirituality, and with the lightning tribulation’s explosions added on top of that, Mo Wuji, who was undergoing heavenly tribulation on the stone was completely concealed.
All of the people outside did not know what Mo Wuji’s situation was, and if they knew that he was blown half to death by the first lightning bolt, some of them might have prepared to take action against him.
”Boom! Crack…” As he just took a few healing pills, the second wave of lightning bolts came pouring down.
Mo Wuji clenched his teeth, and produced countless pole shadows to form a blockade while he tried to use the Reverse Circulation Technique to the maximum for absorbing the lightning essence within.
There was no escaping the lightning tribulation. One could only endure through it.
”Boom boom boom boom!” Dense flashes of lightning landed on Tian Ji Pole’s pole shadows, causing the pole shadows to instantly fade into smoke. A large swath of lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji’s body once again, which put his bones through another round of breaking.
However, Mo Wuji was using all 105 meridians to execute the Reverse Circulation Technique at once, and focused on absorbing the lightning essence, hence the damage from the lightning tribulation, while still quite great, did not threaten his life anymore.
A mere ten breaths time later, the third wave of lightning bolts rained down.
The Tian Ji Pole swung out for the second time, forming endless Nirvana Pole Shadows, and at the same time, Mo Wuji wobbled his way up. If he just sat on the floor and allowed the lightning tribulation to carry on striking him, even if he succeeded in it, death definitely would be waiting for him.
At this point he was keeping his body up just based on his elemental energy and spiritual will, as the bones in his legs were practically gone.
Thick lightning bolts continued to strike the Tian Ji Pole’s pole shadows, which caused them to break down even faster than before.
Mo Wuji did not care about the lightning bolts that fell, creating various seals with his hands, and activating his 105 meridians for reverse circulation to the extreme. It was surely impossible to fight such a lightning tribulation head on, so the best option was to absorb the lightning essence in it.
Mysterious hand seals flashed by like a shiny illusion array, forming circle after circle of ripples around Mo Wuji. These ripples eventually formed the rough figure of a giant dragon. At this moment, he had already unleashed the Revolving Star Passage Technique to the first level of the Xing Stage, the Dragon Rising Star Shift.
”Crack!” With Mo Wuji’s hand seals, the lightning bolts that broke Tian Ji Pole’s pole shadows suddenly changed direction, directly impacting the ground at his feet.
The strength of these lightning bolts were reduced to a minimum, which made it the most ideal point for absorbing the lightning essences. All of the lightning bolts surrounding Mo Wuji’s body began being soaked up by him like rainwater on a sponge, ceaselessly flowing into him.
This sort of lightning bolt brought with it spiritual energy of a higher quality that that in a spirit pith, and Mo Wuji could clearly feel an insane rise in his cultivation level, and the shackles that held him back began to crack. At the same time, his broken bones rapidly healed under the nourishment of this spiritual energy.
Seemingly sensing that Mo Wuji had diverted the lightning bolts away, the lightning tribulation became even stronger. Thunder roared and lightning flashed in space, and the fourth wave of lightning surged at him, like an ocean sweeping over the Heaven Calamity Stone.
At this moment, all cultivators standing around the Heaven Calamity Stone were stunned. What kind of lightning tribulation was this? Why was it so extreme for a someone merely advancing to True God Stage ?
”This guy shouldn’t be in the Great Circle of Nihility God Stage right? Otherwise how could there be such a terrifying lightning tribulation? I’ve seen the lightning tribulation of a Worldly Immortal before, and it wasn’t much compared to this.”
”I also think that this person doesn’t seem like he’s in the Nihility God Stage, since Li Xiuran was rank 1 on the Earth Board. Li Xiuran defeated a True God Stage Level 1 expert before, and no matter how strong a Nihility God Stage cultivator might be, he would not be a match for such a fierce man.”
Now the number of cultivators that came crowding around to watch Mo Wuji undergo tribulation kept growing and growing, and their discussions became increasingly intense.
As for the matter of Mo Wuji snatching the Heaven Calamity Stone, no one cared about it anymore. Even if the Heaven Calamity Stone were in one’s possession, who would dare to step forward in the face of such lightning bolts and seek almost certain death?
