Chapter 193: Powerfully Exploding the Thundercloud!

Under the stunned gazes of the two.

The thunderclouds in the sky churned even more violently!

A second purple lightning bolt, thicker and more terrifying than the first, coalesced once more!

With the power to obliterate heaven and earth, it crashed down—boom—toward the black dragon hovering above the sea!

……

Above the sea, howling winds raged and towering waves surged.

Ning Chuan's immense dragon body hovered proudly beneath the thunderclouds.

He lifted his fearsome, majestic dragon head, his pale golden dragon eyes calm and indifferent as they gazed at the churning, destructive black thundercloud above.

The aura radiating from him—arrogant, unrivaled—seemed to disdain even this glorious heavenly wrath!

Within his precise perception,

this first "Dragon Tribulation" would bring three lightning strikes.

Each stronger than the last, each more perilous than the one before.

Only by surviving these three trials could he truly complete this transformation, fully converting his dragon core into a demonic core and stepping onto the true path of demonic cultivation.

The first blue lightning bolt, as thick as a water barrel, though to outsiders it seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth, enough to shatter the soul of any Grand Master,

to Ning Chuan, its power was far weaker than he had anticipated.

It hadn't even caused him the slightest pain in his dragon body, already reinforced multiple times and unbreakable.

He had simply dispersed it with raw physical strength alone.

Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, Qu Lingfeng, Xiao Xiao Yuanshan, and the Old Fool Zhou Botong, watching from the shore of Taohuadao,

had been utterly stunned by this mythic spectacle, their very breaths seeming to halt.

They gazed at Ning Chuan's mighty figure, bathed in lightning yet standing unyielding.

Their hearts swelled with indescribable awe and reverence.

In their eyes, Ning Chuan's terrifying power—capable of scattering heavenly lightning with a mere flick of his tail—was as divine, as impossibly strong as a realm beyond their comprehension!

That terrifying lightning, which in their eyes could obliterate heaven and earth, before Ning Chuan… seemed… nothing?

The thunderclouds in the sky churned even more violently.

As if enraged by the failure of the first strike.

The second lightning bolt was rapidly coalescing, visible to the naked eye!

This time, the lightning's color was no longer blue, but a heart-stopping… deep purple!

Its thickness was more than double that of the previous blue bolt!

The destructive energy within it had multiplied geometrically!

A more terrifying, more despair-inducing aura of annihilation descended, engulfing the entire sea!

Those watching from Taohuadao felt this heavenly wrath, now several times stronger than before,

and their faces paled again, their hearts tightening with renewed dread.

They had no doubt—this purple lightning could flatten a small mountain in an instant!

Master Ning Chuan… can he withstand it?!

"Brother Ning Chuan's divine might is unmatched! He will surely emerge unscathed!"

Huang Rong clenched her small fists tightly, knuckles whitening from the pressure, yet she forced back her worry and shouted encouragement for Ning Chuan.

In her heart, her Brother Ning Chuan was omnipotent!

Everyone had assumed the next moment would bring another heart-stopping, earth-shattering clash.

Ning Chuan might once again unleash his formidable physical strength to directly confront this even more terrifying purple lightning!

But the next instant,

what happened left everyone frozen in collective shock!

Duan Yu, far away on the sea hundreds of li off, gasped aloud, nearly leaping from his swaying fishing boat:

"Whoa—! What… what is that?! It… it actually…!"

Before them, facing the descending purple lightning, its power enough to obliterate heaven and earth,

Ning Chuan's massive dragon body remained suspended in place, unmoving, unyielding!

He slowly opened his massive maw, lined with razor-sharp fangs!

A pure, yet utterly icy and destructive, ink-black energy rapidly coalesced within his mouth!
