Chapter 3301: Timing of Body Refinement

The Magic Flood Dragon gritted his teeth, his Primordial Core ran at full power, replenishing his Demon Qi, and transmitted to Ye Liuyun: "I'm giving it my all, should be about right, just afraid it'll strike me unconscious!"

"It's fine, I can use Divine Soul Power to awaken you!" Ye Liuyun knew he could still endure another hit without dying, so he relaxed and let him try to resist with all his might.

With a "crack", after the thunder tribulation had brewed for a while, the fourth one struck down again.

As soon as that thunder tribulation finished, Ye Liuyun moved, soaring straight above the Magic Flood Dragon to shield him from the tribulation.

The Magic Flood Dragon also stubbornly withstood that lightning strike; although he didn't lose consciousness, he collapsed on the ground, unable to move. A large patch on his back was blasted open by Blood Thunder, exposing bone.

"Use Life Spring Water first to speed your wound recovery!" Ye Liuyun reminded the Magic Flood Dragon, lest the Formation or Defense Artifact cause an accident.

After catching his breath, the Magic Flood Dragon immediately swallowed a drop of Life Spring Water to heal his injuries.

At that moment, the thunder source in the sky sensed an extra person below; its power instantly doubled, and the brewing time for this thunder tribulation became slightly longer than before.

"Just transforming into a dragon, why is it so hard?" Ye Liuyun thought, dissatisfied with the dragon‑forming thunder tribulation.

Long Nv also felt relieved in her heart that she had transformed early; the power of this tribulation was even more terrifying than when she first transformed.

"Boom—boom—boom" a muffled roar echoed, and the fifth, thicker Blood Thunder slammed toward Ye Liuyun's head.

Ye Liuyun directly released his thunder spirit to meet that thunder tribulation.

"Crack!" a earth‑shattering blast rang out, shaking everyone nearby until their eardrums buzzed.

After Ye Liuyun's thunder spirit blocked that Blood Thunder, it smoothly absorbed all the Thunder and Lightning Power within, then immediately returned to Ye Liuyun's body to refine and assimilate it.

Subsequently, the sixth, seventh, and eighth thunder tribulations were all blocked by Ye Liuyun's released thunder spirit, which also devoured them.

"The next thunder tribulation will have power almost matching my thunder spirit!" Ye Liuyun thought, evaluating, "This time I'll add some Heaven and Earth Power so my thunder spirit won't get injured!"

With that in mind, the great currents of Heaven and Earth began to gather around him, preparing to use Heaven and Earth Power together with the thunder source to resist the ninth thunder tribulation.

Thanks to Ye Liuyun employing Heaven and Earth Power this time, because the lightning strike's range was broader, his thunder spirit couldn't block it all.

The portions his thunder spirit missed were precisely intercepted by his Heaven and Earth Power, preventing them from striking the Magic Flood Dragon below; otherwise, even a partial concentration of thunder and lightning would have severely wounded the dragon.

"Use your Defense Artifact to protect yourself first!" Ye Liuyun reminded the Magic Flood Dragon, lest any thunder and lightning leak through next time.

"Nine thunder tribulations already! No idea how many are left!"

Lei Ming, seeing the dark clouds above showing no sign of dispersing, knew the thunder tribulations hadn't ended.

The clouds above were only slowly losing their blood‑red hue, but the cloud layer's color began turning as black as ink. The entire space had become completely dark.

If Ye Liuyun and the Monster Beasts hadn't refined their Golden Pupils, they wouldn't be able to see each other now.

"Black thunder, the black thunder source!"

Ye Liuyun looked up at the sky and saw the thunder source's color. Its power was twice as strong as the ninth Blood Thunder just now.

His thunder spirit, at this moment, was also fully absorbing and refining the thunder and lightning power it had just devoured. Yet boosting it instantly to match the doubled force was simply impossible.

"Use Buddha Demon Power to unleash a Qiankun Palm, which contains Thunder and Lightning Power and Heaven and Earth Power; that will be enough to block this black thunder."

Ye Liuyun had already devised the countermeasure, so when the black lightning struck, his attack was launched as well.

With a booming roar, the black thunder was intercepted mid‑air; the thunder spirit seized the moment to absorb some thunder and lightning power, then immediately withdrew. The Qiankun Palm and Heaven and Earth Power also dissipated along with it.

"Next time add Spatial Power and stack more voids."

Ye Liuyun also aimed to conserve True Essence, so he immediately began stacking voids.

When the second black thunder struck, the layered voids were smashed by the raging thunder and lightning power, but by the time it reached Ye Liuyun, its force was already weaker than the first black thunder.

Ye Liuyun again used Buddha Demon Power to strike a palm, and let his Physical Body bear the remainder, allowing the thunder spirit to absorb as much thunder and lightning power as possible.

The War God Armor on his body, sensing Ye Liuyun being attacked, immediately began to stir.

"Don't rush; when I need you, let me train my Physical Body first!" Ye Liuyun promptly told him not to emerge yet; each lightning strike is also a good chance for him to refine his body.

He was merely adapting; he was far from reaching his maximum tolerance.

When the third black thunder struck, he used the same method, only adding more Heaven and Earth Power. This time, the thunder and lightning power that hammered his body was much greater than before, pushing him downwards significantly.

But he immediately rose again and flew back, without sustaining serious injury; his whole body was merely tingling from the thunder and lightning power.

At the same time, seeing the Magic Flood Dragon had nearly recovered, he put away his Defense Artifact and let some lightning power leak down again, giving him another chance to train his Physical Body.

After all, this is the Magic Flood Dragon's dragon‑transforming opportunity, so it should receive full training. The dragon shivered all over, a bit nervous, but this amount of thunder and lightning power wouldn't harm him.

Then, after the fourth black thunder, a heavenly punishment, struck, Ye Liuyun's Physical Body endured even more thunder and lightning power, which also leaked down to the Magic Flood Dragon in greater quantity.

This time it wasn't intentional on Ye Liuyun's part; his Buddha Demon Power and Heaven and Earth Power had already been pushed to their limits, so this was the only extent achievable. If he used Spatial Power again, he would completely evade the thunder and lightning, and the thunder spirit would be unable to absorb any.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also drew the Demon Slaying Sword, preparing to use its blade intent to resist the upcoming thunder tribulations.

His blade intent was stronger than Heaven and Earth Power; this time he employed his full blade intent, together with the thunder source and some Spatial Power, so the thunder and lightning attacks his Physical Body endured should be comparable to before.

Sure enough, after employing blade intent, he weathered three more thunder tribulations, then used all his Heaven and Earth Power and Buddha Demon Power, finally enduring nine black thunders.

His clothing had long been reduced to ash by the lightning, and his Physical Body's surface bore some charring, yet he could recover quickly each time.

The Magic Flood Dragon also suffered some lightning strikes, but the thunder and lightning power Ye Liuyun let through remained within his tolerable range.

Now Ye Liuyun, like everyone else, looked up at the sky; seeing the dark clouds still unmoving, they couldn't help but worry.

However, the blackness within the clouds was gradually receding, and the cloud layer shimmered with various colors, as if containing purple thunder, Blood Thunder, and black thunder among other lightning.

"Five‑colored thunder source!"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil finally beheld the five‑colored thunder source coalescing before him.
