After Lu Ming exited the illusion, he smacked his lips, still wanting more.
“Why didn't you let me enjoy myself to the fullest?”
The Heart Demon didn't even want to bother with this guy. Enjoy yourself to the fullest? What the fuck do you take me for?
“Since you won't let me enjoy myself, then there's no point in you existing anymore...”
Boom...
Lu Ming immediately circulated his technique. At this moment, his dantian had already turned into a black hole.
The three-headed, six-armed primordial spirit within the black hole also began to circulate the technique at the same time...
Sensing the intense suction and danger, the Heart Demon panicked.
“Wait... Big brother, don't get excited! I can still meet your demands...”
“Too late.”
As Lu Ming's voice fell, the Heart Demon was sucked directly into the black hole of his dantian, instantly turning into pure energy.
“Hahaha... Don't worry. This time, I will definitely blast that guy to dust.”
Upon receiving the notification, the Tribulation Lightning left the Thunder Pool carrying pure lightning power.
He was full of confidence that he would leave nothing of Lu Ming but ashes.
As for the long rod magical artifact that the Punishment Lightning had mentioned, he had already thought of a solution.
That was to switch the attribute of the lightning tribulation, turning it from Yang lightning into Yin lightning, soul lightning, and Dao lightning, which specifically targeted the physical body, the Dao Heart, and the primordial spirit...
Seeing the Tribulation Lightning's absolute confidence, the Punishment Lightning still felt uneasy.
Forget it, I'll go along and watch.
Just in case he gets himself killed...
He had interacted with that human so many times and knew that the guy was not someone to be trifled with.
Just as Lu Ming absorbed the Heart Demon, the world changed color. Wild winds swept backward, and ten thousand miles of clouds collapsed with a crash.
Endless purple-black lightning surged in the cracks, distorting the void in layers.
“Mwahaha... Kid, you're dead meat this time!”
The Tribulation Lightning roared ferociously, preparing to strike Lu Ming.
No, I have to wait for this kid to bring out whatever magical artifact he has before I strike.
Just thinking about the look of despair, panic, and helplessness on Lu Ming's face when he realized his magical artifact was useless made the Tribulation Lightning roll in the clouds with excitement.
“Haha... Kid, hurry up and bring out your trump card!”
Watching from afar, the Punishment Lightning couldn't help but tremble all over at the Tribulation Lightning's arrogant behavior.
Holy crap... Isn't this guy being way too arrogant?
Hasn't he ever heard that showing off gets you struck by lightning?
Just find an opportunity and strike him already!
Why the hell are you still showing off?
Seeing the sudden change in the weather above, Lu Ming felt a terrifying pressure lock tightly onto him.
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow. Is this the Tribulation Lightning?
It does look a bit different from the Punishment Lightning.
It looked much scarier, but he wasn't afraid. He had his custom-made lightning rods.
Seeing that the Tribulation Lightning didn't strike immediately, Lu Ming first tidied up the seclusion chamber.
He looked up at the sky in confusion.
He hadn't expected this Tribulation Lightning to be so considerate, actually giving people time to prepare.
Then, Lu Ming cast a Cleansing Technique on himself.
Seeing that the Tribulation Lightning was still building up its strength, Lu Ming pulled out a roast chicken and began to gnaw on it.
Seeing this, the Tribulation Lightning was furious.
What the actual fuck? I gave you time so you could bring out your magical artifact and die!
Not to watch you eat...
No, I can't take this anymore. I'm going to strike.
Forget it, forget it... Since I've already waited this long, and seeing as he's about to die anyway, I'll give him a chance to eat his last meal.
My, oh my... I really am a kind-hearted lightning bolt.
In the distance, Fu Yunshen and the others, who were secretly guarding Lu Ming, stared at the Tribulation Lightning in the sky.
“Why does Lu Ming's Tribulation Lightning feel a bit unusual?” Fu Yunshen muttered, frowning as he looked at the sky.
Wang Defa nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, it feels much stronger than mine did back then...”
“But why hasn't it struck after all this time?”
Fu Yunshen was also filled with confusion. It hadn't been like this when he broke through, nor had he ever heard of such a situation.
“Could there be any danger?” Fu Chen, standing beside them, couldn't help but ask worriedly.
“I don't know. He has to face the Tribulation Lightning alone. If he passes, he becomes a Soul Transformation cultivator. If he fails...”
Before Fu Yunshen could finish his sentence, Big Yellow's voice rang out.
“Don't worry, there's no way Boss won't pass... He's the protagonist.”
Big Yellow's words instantly stunned Fu Yunshen and the others.
What on earth was a "protagonist"?
Seeing their expressions, Big Yellow waved a paw and explained, “Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Anyway, all you need to know is that Boss is super powerful and can't die...”
This only confused everyone even more.
They had never heard of anyone who "couldn't die"...
Especially when facing the Tribulation Lightning.
Just then, having eaten and drunk his fill, Lu Ming walked out of his cave dwelling into the open.
With a flip of his palm, he threw out several massive lightning rods.
High up in the nine heavens, the Tribulation Lightning saw Lu Ming's movements and couldn't help but roar with excitement.
It's finally my turn to perform. Today, I'll show this damn human the true meaning of despair...
Immediately, everyone watched as the Tribulation Lightning in the storm clouds suddenly changed.
There was no longer any of the masculine, blazing white electrical light.
Instead, it was replaced by a darkness as black as ink.
A silent Yin lightning was followed by soul lightning that shook the primordial spirit and Dao lightning that strangled the Dao Heart. Layer upon layer, they intertwined and crashed down.
“Oh no... The Tribulation Lightning has changed!” Fu Yunshen couldn't help but cry out in alarm at this sight.
At this moment, Lu Ming also noticed the change in the Tribulation Lightning.
“What's going on? Why did it change color?”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, the Tribulation Lightning snorted coldly.
Ignorant human, you're dead meat now...
Then, Lu Ming watched as those color-shifted lightning bolts bypassed the lightning rods entirely and crashed straight toward him.
Lu Ming was instantly shocked. “Holy crap... The Tribulation Lightning has mutated!”
You're the one who mutated! Your whole family mutated!
The Tribulation Lightning roared at Lu Ming as it struck him.
Human, I just love seeing that panicked little face of yours... It's too cute...
In the next instant, the lightning of the tribulation landed on his head without any warning.
There was no rumble, no explosion. The Yin lightning corroded his bones, the soul lightning devoured his primordial spirit, and the Dao lightning severed his Dao Heart...
“Pfft...”
With three types of lightning force piercing his body simultaneously, Lu Ming's entire body shook violently.
A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Struck squarely by the Tribulation Lightning, the spiritual energy throughout his body instantly fell into chaos.
The Yin lightning corroding his bones was not a violent explosion, but rather snaked into his body along the gaps in his bones.
The lightning force, carrying a soul-corroding chill, gnawed at his bones and blood inch by inch, freezing his meridians. His bone marrow felt as if it had been plunged into the freezing pools of the Nine Nether.
It was then repeatedly sliced by fine threads of lightning, causing excruciating pain to spread frantically from the deepest parts of his bones.
“Ah... Ah... It hurts like a motherfucker!”
Lu Ming couldn't help but scream in agony. This was even more painful than when he was refining his body!
Right at that moment, all sorts of memories from his past began to surface in his mind...
His insignificance in the orphanage, the hardships after graduation, the pain of being hit by the heavy truck, his confusion when he first crossed over, and his failure during his first attempt at cultivation...
Under the influence of the Dao lightning, all the distracting thoughts and flaws in his Dao Heart—which he had deliberately suppressed on normal days and believed he had long forgotten—were dragged back to the surface...
