Chapter 1455: Heavenly Thunder Tribulation

"Boom—crack!"

A bolt of lightning, accompanied by roaring thunder, streaked across the horizon and struck straight at Ye Liuyun's position.

A sheet of lightning enveloped both Ye Liuyun and the Qilin Snake.

Howl—roar!

The Qilin Snake let out a miserable scream; the segment struck by lightning turned into a bloody mess, with only the spine still attached to its body.

It was completely caught in the collateral damage. Ye Liuyun attracted the heavenly thunder, but the thunder immediately sensed two Divine Rank forces, so it also struck it; the tribulation's intensity was greater than the punishment for a single Divine Rank.

The Qilin Snake struggled in pain, and inadvertently caught sight of Ye Liuyun's body covered in lightning; although he looked a bit disheveled, his expression seemed to show he was actually enjoying it.

Ye Liuyun was indeed enjoying himself at this moment.

This meant that although the punishing heavenly thunder was strong, it was still within his tolerance.

Just this lightning strike greatly increased his thunder source.

"Again!" Ye Liuyun shouted, throwing a punch toward the sky.

"This kid is actually a madman, daring to shout at Heaven and Earth!" the Qilin Snake muttered.

At this moment, the area was filled with lightning; many trees were shattered and broken by the blasts, some even igniting, like a purgatory in the night.

"Brother Ye, what kind of entity are you fighting?" Meng Zhangxing exclaimed.

"This situation must be the legendary heavenly thunder, right? It must be that Ye Liuyun drove some ferocious beast to desperation!" Guo Da analyzed.

They all knew what heavenly thunder signified: the ferocious beast fighting Ye Liuyun had been forced by him to use Divine Rank power.

But they never imagined that this heavenly thunder was attracted by Ye Liuyun. In their minds, Ye Liuyun was strong, but absolutely not capable of drawing down heavenly tribulation lightning.

Moreover, that earth-shaking beast roar just now clearly indicated an extremely high-level ferocious beast.

Their Divine Sense could not probe Ye Liuyun's location, so they could only guess secretly in their hearts.

"Is your master alright?" Luo Yun also worried for Ye Liuyun. Suddenly she remembered the ferocious beast bound to Ye Liuyun by a Divine Soul Contract, and she used her Divine Sense to ask the White Python.

The White Python was also paying attention to the heavenly tribulation above. Seeing Luo Yun's question, it simply shook its head to indicate Ye Liuyun was fine.

Although Luo Yun knew Ye Liuyun was fine, she still worried for him.

"What ferocious beast is he fighting?" Luo Yun asked again.

"From the sound, it sounds like a snake-type!" the White Python replied via Divine Sense.

Luo Yun also conveyed this information to Meng Zhangxing and Guo Da.

"This guy… he's unharmed! Is he even human?" Meng Zhangxing exclaimed.

Guo Da also nodded in agreement.

"Crack!"

In the sky, a second, even more violent bolt of lightning struck down, startling several people with a jolt to their hearts.

"Howl..."

This time, the Qilin Snake's wail cut off midway as it lost strength. It had been struck by the lightning to the brink of death, its whole body scorched and emitting black smoke.

Another lightning strike would directly roast it to death!

Ye Liuyun, however, lifted his head with spirited vigor, hoping for a few more heavenly thunder strikes.

"Boom—rumble!"

A muffled thunder rumbled, and the sky was still brewing the next heavenly punishment.

"More? I'm going to die!"

The Qilin Snake felt immense resentment; after painstakingly cultivating to this level, it was actually going to die because of a human.

Meanwhile, this human was completely unharmed and was even taking the opportunity to cultivate thunder power.

Ye Liuyun was also badly mangled by this lightning strike, his clothes all torn to shreds.

His skin suffered burns, but was slowly healing.

Each heavenly thunder strike grew stronger, but he wholeheartedly wanted to kill the Qilin Snake, refusing to hold back his bloodline power.

"Even if the next lightning strike were twice as violent, my thunder source and physical body could help me endure it. I don't believe the Qilin Snake could withstand me!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at the Qilin Snake, saw its dreadful state, and prepared to endure another heavenly thunder strike before speaking further.

Actually, in terms of quality, heavenly thunder is not that high—it's inferior to Blood Thunder and Purple Thunder. But its fearsome aspect lies in the massive amount of thunder power being released all at once, not a slow, gradual bombardment.

"Boom—rumble!"

Another muffled thunder rumbled; the tribulation was still brewing, and this time the intensity seemed even greater.

"Body snatching!"

This term flashed through the Qilin Snake's mind.

It itself could definitely not withstand it. The only plan now was to rely on its powerful soul to erase Ye Liuyun's original soul and occupy his physical body.

Although Ye Liuyun's cultivation level was low, his bloodline power had already reached Divine Rank; taking over his body would still be a great bargain!

Thinking of this, it felt pleased with itself for having come up with a plan.

Just before the heavenly thunder struck again, it finally made up its mind. Its powerful soul burst out of its body and surged into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness!

"Haha, I've been waiting for this very move!"

Ye Liuyun smiled and immediately began to retract his bloodline power.

"Ah! Cunning human!" the Qilin Snake, no matter how it struggled, could not escape the binding of the Ten Thousand Gods Command's golden light.

Only then did it realize that Ye Liuyun had been waiting for it to exhaust itself, then launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

Immediately it began to beg, pleading for Ye Liuyun to spare its life.

But Ye Liuyun truly had no time to pay attention to it at this moment.

"Crack!"

The heavenly thunder that had been brewing in the sky now struck down.

I go! I already restrained my bloodline power, why are you still hitting me? Ye Liuyun couldn't help but complain.

But he could only hold on firmly and receive this bolt of heavenly thunder.

This time, his thunder source had expanded considerably, but his entire body's surface skin was blasted to a charred state, emitting Qing Yan.

Ye Liuyun's muscles spasmed from being struck by Lightning Strike, he lay flat on the ground panting, observing the changes in the sky.

Fortunately, after his bloodline power completely disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky also began to slowly dissipate,

That heavenly thunder just now was also the last one.

Whoosh!

Ye Liuyun let out a long breath: "I can also be said to have experienced what a true heavenly thunder tribulation punishment is!"

He had cultivated thunder and lightning power, and had also absorbed quite a bit of thunder source before. But this time, it was truly Heavenly Earth's punishment upon him.

In the future, if I want to cultivate thunder and lightning power again, there will be a way! I don't know if the same rule applies in Zhongyang Dalu!

Ye Liuyun, thinking this, decided to fully cultivate his thunder source here before leaving.

His bodily injuries were healing faster and faster. The previously charred skin was gradually peeling off.

He simply lay down to rest for a moment, turned his head, and caught sight of that Blue Soul Flower.

That Blue Soul Flower actually emitted power on its own, forming a protective shield that kept itself safe within.

Moreover, it grows close to the ground, not very tall, so it received relatively little lightning, and miraculously survived.
