Chapter 331: Elder Water's Shock

331. Chapter 331: Elder Water's Shock

The Calamity Gu had just been sound asleep on the World Tree, dreaming deeply, when it was yanked out by its unscrupulous master.

At this moment, it still bore the appearance of a scorpion; after Long Xuan threw it to the ground, it opened its blurry little eyes.

Upon seeing the sky filled with red thunder, it was instantly startled and turned to flee.

However, at this very moment, the bloodline within its body seemed to activate, actually generating a craving for the terrifying entity above.

It gradually overcame the fear in its heart, raised its head to gaze at the sky filled with red thunder, and slowly revealed a greedy look.

At this moment, its gaze seemed to perceive some extremely delicious delicacy, and it could not wait to rush into the sky to devour it.

Perhaps only it would display such greed upon seeing a Thunder Tribulation; which living being among all creatures would not be terrified out of their wits by a Thunder Tribulation?

At this moment, Long Xuan's other five clones were already nearly peeing themselves in fear; they had all inherited the exact same personality as their original body and were all cowards who loved life and feared death.

Witnessing this scene, their faces instantly turned pale and their legs trembled as they scrambled one after another into the mouth of the Heaven-Devouring World Toad and vanished.

Meanwhile, upon seeing the red thunder in the sky, the Heaven-Devouring World Toad also widened its eyes in terror, revealing a frightened expression; it too had been scared out of its wits.

With a kick of its legs, it leaped into Long Xuan's Insect Breeding Bag and fled for its life.

Long Xuan was furious; this bunch of cowards who loved life and feared death—how come he didn't have a single useful one under his command?

Now that only he remained here, he had no choice but to face the sky filled with red thunder alone.

Just at this moment, the Life-Extinguishing Thunder in the sky finally finished charging its energy and suddenly descended as a thick bolt of red lightning.

"Boom!"

The thunder released endless Heavenly Might, its momentum terrifying, heading straight for Long Xuan's Devil Swallowing Cauldron.

This bolt of thunder was so bright it hurt the eyes; the entire space was reflected red, and Long Xuan's face was also dyed red.

The figure of the Life-Extinguishing Thunder had already appeared in his pupils, rushing toward him at extreme speed; at this moment, every hair on Long Xuan's body stood on end, and cold sweat instantly flowed down.

He believed that if this bolt of thunder struck him, he would definitely be blasted until not even ash remained.

Faster than words can describe, just as Long Xuan's life hung by a thread, that Calamity Gu suddenly transformed into purple lightning and collided head-on with the incoming Life-Extinguishing Thunder.

"Boom!"

The two bolts of thunder collided heavily; instantly, Long Xuan felt his eardrums explode, as if his ears were about to go deaf at this moment.

When the two bolts of thunder collided, the purple lightning ultimately lost, being directly knocked flying a great distance.

Under the destructive power of the Thunder Power, the ground was ravaged by it into a long trench.

However, although the Life-Extinguishing Thunder had knocked the Calamity Gu away, its trajectory was ultimately deflected, and it heavily struck a location not far from Long Xuan.

"Boom!"

Long Xuan once again felt his eardrums explode; immediately afterward, the ground shook violently, sending massive amounts of sand and strong wind rushing at his face, and the location not far from him was instantly blasted by the Life-Extinguishing Thunder into a bottomless pit.

Long Xuan was greatly terrified in his heart; if such power struck him, how could there be any good outcome?

Is this the terrifying power of a Thunder Tribulation? It is simply horrifying; I wonder if the Calamity Gu is alright!

At this moment, he had no time to breathe a sigh of relief as another thick bolt of red thunder descended from the sky; the Calamity Gu, becoming braver with each setback, stumbled up from the ground and rushed again toward the descending Life-Extinguishing Thunder.

At this moment, its eyes were full of the flames of fighting spirit, possessing an air of refusing to admit defeat.

At this moment, Long Xuan was also infected by its unyielding spirit; gazing intently at the Thunder Tribulation flying straight toward him, he shouted loudly:

"Since ancient times, all Alchemists have taken pride in refining Spirit Pills capable of summoning a Thunder Tribulation, yet countless Alchemists have died tragically under the Thunder Tribulation after fulfilling this wish."

"But I, Long Xuan, have summoned the Thunder Tribulation today, and this Thunder Tribulation I shall also withstand!"

"I intend to refine a Heaven-Defying Spirit Pill; this Heaven! I defy it!"

As soon as Long Xuan finished speaking, another deafening boom resounded; the Calamity Gu was once again fiercely knocked flying by the Life-Extinguishing Thunder, crashing heavily onto the ground and plowing out a trench.

Meanwhile, the red thunder was once again deflected, heavily striking a location not far from Long Xuan.

The ground shook violently once more, sand flying everywhere, and in an instant, a second bottomless pit formed.

In the next moment, an even thicker and longer bolt of purple lightning condensed in the sky and descended without pause.

There were thirty-six bolts of Life-Extinguishing Thunder in total, each strike stronger than the last, and at this moment, only two strikes had descended.

At this moment, in the center of the Thunder Swamp, a figure condensed from water stared blankly at this red sky, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is..."

Upon hearing the earth-shaking sound of thunder strikes from an extremely distant place, his pupils constricted, and he blurted out, "It is a Thunder Tribulation! This is a Thunder Tribulation! This is the Life-Extinguishing Thunder, ranked tenth!"

"Which sacred being has come here to actually summon such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation?"

"The legendary Life-Extinguishing Thunder; even when I once roamed the entire Gu World in years past, this is the first time I have seen it."

Gazing at the sky filled with red thunder, Elder Water's eyes were filled with excitement, yet also carried a trace of fear.

This was the legendary Heavenly Tribulation.

One must know that he was currently in a soul state; Thunder Power was a natural counter to him, and the power of a Thunder Tribulation was a hundred times more effective against him.

Even if merely a tiny strand of this Life-Extinguishing Thunder flew over and fell upon the water pool, it would be enough to scatter his soul and destroy his spirit, leaving him unable to reincarnate for eternity.

"This Calamity Cloud is covered with dense red thunder; will it fall down?"

"What if the Thunder Tribulation chases that person everywhere and accidentally gets drawn here..."

Thinking of this scene, Elder Water trembled all over, his eyes filled with terror.

"Truly damn it! Which Gu King has come here to cause trouble; isn't this harming me!"

Elder Water was greatly alarmed and lost his color, hastily using his Soul Power to investigate the direction from which the thunder sound came.

However, the place where the Thunder Tribulation was summoned was truly too far from here, and coupled with the fact that his soul was already extremely weak, he could not sense that location from afar.

He could only give up helplessly.

Since he did not know who had summoned the Thunder Tribulation here, his subconscious mind had already assumed that person was a Gu King Peak expert.

He had never once considered that the Thunder Tribulation was summoned by Long Xuan.

Thunder Tribulations are things that exist only in legends; they appear so rarely that most powerhouses never witness one in their entire lives, making it impossible for someone at a low Cultivation Realm to summon one.

Fearing that anyone in this situation would mistakenly assume only a Gu King Peak expert could summon a Thunder Tribulation, who could imagine that a ruthless person capable of Alchemy across realms exists in this world?

If such a Heaven-defying existence truly existed, the Thunder Tribulation should not be striking the Pill, but should be striking him.

At this moment, realizing that a Gu King Peak expert capable of ignoring Thunder Power had entered the Thunder Swamp, this Water Elder immediately panicked.

Since this Gu King Peak expert did not fear the Thunder Power within the Thunder Swamp, there was no guarantee he would not walk to the center of the swamp to take a look.

Furthermore, there was no guarantee he would not discover the Heavenly Water, and no guarantee he would not discover him.

By that time, would this Gu King Peak expert make a move to kill him in order to seize the Heavenly Water?

Thinking this through, the Water Elder immediately lost all composure, panic appearing in his eyes.

He urgently wanted to leave this place; whether it was the Thunder Tribulation above or that mysterious Gu King powerhouse, the threat they posed to him was simply too great.

Yet, he happened to be trapped here by the Heavenly Water, unable to move anywhere, leaving him burning with anxiety.

Seeing the thunder in the distance grow louder and the ground shake more violently, the Thunder Tribulation seemed as if it would pierce through the entire earth.

The Water Elder was completely shocked by the terrifying power of the Thunder Tribulation; he could only hide at the bottom of the water, trembling, and pray that the Gu King would not come over.

Whether he lived or died, at this moment he could only leave it to Fate. (End of Chapter)
