Thunder Tribulation of Ninth Heaven

"Rumble…"

The thick thunder cloud had already gathered over their villa, and was still rapidly and frantically accumulating, as if it was a huge thunder pool. Silver-white lightning interspersed in it, churning incessantly. The deafening roar sounded one after another. This was not some thunder and lightning created by a superfunction possessor of thunder, but true thunder of the heaven. Thick as it was, the whole villa section would be turned into ashes if it suddenly stroke.

"Che…"

The thunder cloud was obviously targeted at them so they couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to. Everyone turned to look at Yun Che who was holding a baby in his arms worriedly. The latter looked solemn and gave the baby to Xing Feng who was holding him. Yun Che grabbed Heiyu, "What the hell is going on here? You should know, right?"

If there was anyone who could give him the answer now, it was definitely Heiyu!

"Holy shit…master…let go of me first…"

Being grabbed at the back of his head, Heiyu flung his limbs around and stared at the thunder cloud outside worriedly.

"Spit it out."

The moment Yun Che let go, Heiyu jumped onto his shoulder, "What else can happen? It's thunder tribulation. I was just about to tell you, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye, so who's to blame?"

Heiyu was also pissed, as he failed to stop him however hard he shouted at him. Good, now they couldn't possibly hide into the Space. Once the thunder tribulation was activated, it would only disappear after all of the thunder stroke down.

"The thunder tribulation of the Golden Pill Stage? Why haven't we ever experienced one?"

Xing Feng pulled his face, looking extremely displeased, his hands that were holding the baby unconsciously tightening the grip. He knew about the thunder tribulation, which Heiyu had told him when he inquired about cultivation. But Heiyu told them then that only when they reached the Ascension Stage when their mind and body were integrated and they became immortals would the thunder tribulation arrive. Why did it happen to Che when he was only in Golden Pill Stage? Even though Che was special, it was still way too early, wasn't it?

Yun Cheng and Ye Xingchen were as confused as he was. The thunder outside was horrific and if he was not careful, even Yun Che would be turned into ashes by the tribulation.

"Surely that would not happen to you guys. You are not someone who have altered the destiny. Though master is a man of this world, he is also the master of another world. In this world, he is the one who can change the destiny and has the potential to destroy the whole world. Therefore, the wrath of Heaven would not allow him to survive in this world. I've told you before that the Golden Pill Stage is a giant water shed for cultivators. After the pill is successfully refined, you become real cultivators, but for master, the success of refining the pill means he is now qualified to alter the destiny. The wrath of Heaven is not some power belong to any space but is responsible to maintain the balance of each space, and to verify the ability of the master of space."

Heiyu rolled his eyes and looked outside in a serious manner, "If I'm not mistaken, what is outside now is the most powerful one, the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven. It can turn every creature into ashes, including my master. But if master can stand the test of the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven, his superfunction and cultivation will be significantly improved. And in the meantime, his physical strength will also be enhanced accordingly. To put it simply, he may survive the Ninth Heaven or die by the hand of the Ninth Heaven."

Hearing these words, everyone's expression turned heavy. Heiyu was always noisy and loved to joke around, but once he spoke in this tone, it meant that he was serious about every word he said, and this so-called thunder tribulation of the Nine Heaven could really kill Yun Che.

"Rumble…"

"Die and resurrect?"

Another deafening sound crossed the sky, submerging Yun Che's thoughtful murmur. Everyone was paying attention to the thunder outside so none of them noticed that coldness slowly crawled onto the corners of Yun Che's lips. Exchanging life for power was actually economical. Hadn't they always been fighting tooth and nail for stronger power? Human potential was unlimited, and the greater the crisis, the greater the opportunities. Only by exposing himself to mortal death would it be possible for him to stimulate the greatest potential in the shortest possible time so as to acquire the strongest power.

"What should I do to withstand thunder tribulation?"

"Che?"

"Che?!"

This time, everyone heard Yun Che's words clearly and widened their eyes. He was planning to face it straightly? But…

Don't worry. I'm not going to die that easily. Since I can't escape the thunder tribulation of Nineth Heaven, I'll face it the best I can."

Displaying a smile to solace them, Yun Che said firmly and confidently. Even if Heiyu didn't tell him, he knew that maybe he could temporarily hide himself away from the thunder tribulation of Nineth Heaven by hiding into the space, but he couldn't possibly hide there for the rest of his life, could he? Even if he had everything in the Space, he was not the kind of person who was so mortally afraid of death that he didn't even have the courage to face the challenge.

"Okay, I believe in you. You'll stay alive no matter what."

Meeting his eyes that were full of determination, Xing Feng was the first to suppress his worry and give him support. Neither of them was used to solve problems by escaping. He had faith in him!

"Sure. It's hard for me to find an errand boy who would come to my assistance no matter what I do, so how can I die just like this?"

Yun Che smiled brightly, and Xing Feng slowly smiled along with him. That was it. He believed that as long as there was something Che still couldn't let go, he would not succumb to the bullshit wrath of Heaven.

"Che, don't let me lose my only…friend."

Fei Ye had been looking deeply at him for a long time. What he wanted to say was, don't let him lose the only one that mattered to him but in the end, he changed it to friend, because he felt the unbreakable bond between him and Xing Feng.

"Che, you've got us."

Seeing this, the others also looked at him in unison. Yun Che nodded, "What are you doing? I'm not going to die. Wait for me to come back."

Having said that, Yun Che suddenly dashed out like a stream of light. If he had to withstand the tribulation, the base was definitely not a proper place, so he had to find somewhere he would not be disturbed to face it in peace.

"Rumble…"

At the same time, the thunder clouds that enveloped the villa also chased after him, and Xing Feng handed the child to Yun Yao, "Sis, take care of the child."

"I will."

Knowing that he was going to find Yun Che, Yun Yao nodded her head with tears streaming down her face, trying to pretend to be strong.

"We'll go together."

As Yun Cheng's words fell, the space domain instantly unfolded, enveloping all of them and disappearing in the courtyard. They constantly flashed and disappeared in the air, as if they were teleporting as a group. It was as terrifying as it could be. This was the space domain of a level-10 zombie.

"Fuck, did something just fly past?"

"No, look at the thunder cloud. Damn, when has a thunder cloud become so conscious?"

"It's horrifying. If this thunder cloud falls down, the whole base will be destroyed, right?"

"My god, you guys, look at the sky. Did someone flash just now…really, look…"

"They're not going after that thunder cloud, are they?"

"…"

With such a massive turmoil, how could the people inside the base not notice it? Not only the superfunction possessors and the survivors, but also the military officials paid special attention to it, and immediately ordered to look into it. Too many abnormal circumstances had happened in the doomsday and human suffered every time something wicked happened. So how dare they not pay attention to the thunder cloud accumulating in the sky above the base?

"Shit…"

Yun Che, who was being chased by the thunder cloud, had already manipulated his superfunction of air to the extreme, but instead of pulling away from the thunder cloud, he was about to be caught up by it. As he cursed in a low voice, he also quickly searched for an area where he could quietly face the tribulation. Heiyu had told him just now that the power of the thunder tribulation of Nineth Heaven was based on the number living beings in the area of the tribulation. It did not care who would undergo the tribulation, and as long as they were in the area of the tribulation, it would consider them all as the targets of the tribulation and accumulate power unceasingly. The reason why it did not strike earlier was because there were so many people in the area of the tribulation, so it was accumulating energy. And now it was doing the same thing. Although he had already flown out of the base, there were still a sea of zombies below, which also belonged to living things, and thus were considered to be the target of the tribulation by the cloud.

"Master, over there in the mountains."

Seeing the mountains stretching from afar, Heiyu shouted anxiously. They had left the crowded city, and the number of zombies was decreasing. Therefore, the thunder tribulation needed less energy so it might strike down at any time.

"Okay."

Yun Che, who had depleted most of his superfunction, said nothing and flew directly towards the mountain range. At the same time, Heiyu also forcibly used the divine beast oppression to drive away the mutant beasts in the mountain. The whole world seemed to be in chaos because of this, but Yun Che no longer had the time to care. After spotting a relatively open terrain in the mountain range, he immediately swooping down using his superfunction of air.

"Master, I have to leave now. Remember the array of ascension I told you just now. Hurry up and formulate one, and it will more or less block some of the thunder tribulation of Nineth Heaven."

Heiyu jumped off his shoulder the moment Yun Che landed on his heels. He was a divine beast, so if he stayed with his master, the thunder tribulation would grow both in its strength and number, so he must exit the area of thunder tribulation, and he couldn't fight alongside his master.

"Okay. If Xing Feng and the others come, stop them for me."

Having said that, Yun Che looked around the place. He quickly fished out the level-6 crystal nucleus and shot it out, forming an array of ascension that Heiyu passed to him just now with himself as the center. Meanwhile, Heiyu, who had long since exited the area of thunder tribulation, was perched on top of a mountain not far away watching with bated breath.

"Rumble…"

Almost at the same second when Yun Che laid the array of ascension, the thunder cloud caught him up. The whole area of thunder tribulation covered by the cloud all darkened. Yun Che, who sat cross-legged on the center of the array, raised his eyes to look at the thunder snake that kept rolling in the thunder cloud, feeling a bit complicated in his heart. No matter in his previous life or in this life, he was always the one to strike people with thunder, and never had it occurred to him that today he was actually the one to be struck by thunder.

"Come on!"

"Rumble…"

The complicated feeling disappeared in a fleeting second, Yun Che's eyes suddenly turned sharp and cold, as if in response to its provocation. The heavy silver-white thunder snakes frantically gushed out from the thick thunder clouds, quickly condensing into a thunder dragon as wide as a bucket, which shot straight up to the Ninth Heaven. In almost a blink of an eye, the thunder dragon swooped down again with an oppressive power that was going to destroy the whole world. Its target was unmistakably Yun Che who was sitting on the center of the array.

"Boom, boom, boom…"

The thunder dragon smashed down, thunder and lightning shot out, which was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. The thunderlight enveloped the whole mountain range, and even Heiyu, who was on top of the mountain far away, was too scared to breathing, staring at the center of the thunder strike with his huge eyes.

"Che…"

"Che…"

"Uncle…"

Yun Cheng and the others who arrived afterwards were about to rush straight ahead, and Heiyu, with his massive body, rose up and blocked their way, "You can go to him if you want him to die."

At the sound of this, Yun Cheng, who was about to activate the space domain again, stopped, and his crimson eyes that were full of confusion fixing at Heiyu.

"If you guys approach him, the power of the thunder tribulation will be enhanced. Just wait here."

Having said that, Heiyu once again returned to the top of the mountain. Yun Cheng was not stupid. Although he was worried, he was no longer impulsive. The only thing he could do was to land beside Heiyu with the others, and watched the area full of the radiant lightning.
