"Boom boom…"
The thick dark clouds encased the Tan Family, silver-white thunder snakes rolling in the dark clouds. The oppression that seemed to be going to destroy the world enveloped the whole villa. As soon as Xing Feng and Yun Che stepped out of the Space with the kids, the rumbling thunder roared in anger, just like a hungry beast that saw its prey.
"Brother (Che)!"
Yun Cheng and others who had seen this scene before gathered around them with solemn faces as soon as they saw them. Xing Feng and Yun Cheng looked serious, while Heiyu who came out with them said in a deep voice that it was the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven.
"Fxxk!"
His words confirmed their speculation and the crowd cursed in unison. That was so fxxked up that two-year-old kids had to undergo the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven.
"Che, how did this happen…"
Yun Yao covered her mouth with her hand, tears streaming down. Gu Mingxuan held her in his arms. Since the thunder tribulation had come, it wouldn't help that they worried, and they had to figure out a way to help the kids to weather the tribulation.
"Let's go to the seaside."
Turning his head to look at his sister, Yun Che did not comfort her, which was so unlike him. Instead, he turned to exchange a look with Xing Feng and then Heiyu tacitly rushed out. Xing Feng and Yun Che followed him with the kids.
"Brother…"
"You guys can follow, but don't get too close."
Yun Che, who was already on Heiyu's back, just finished his words when Heiyu dashed out like a stream of dark light. Seeing this, Yun Cheng and the others looked at each other. They didn't have much time to think it over and all of them manipulate the aura to chase after them. The aura outside was not sufficient enough for them to cultivate or engage in enduring fight. But flying wouldn't be a problem. "I'm going as well!"
Chenchen, who was left in a trance for a while, broke away from his father and followed.
"Let's drive there too."
Gu Mingxuan who couldn't fly with Yun Yao took out an off-road from the space container.
"What the hell is going on? How come those dark clouds are running after Feng and Che?"
Senior Xing and Senior Tan also got on their car, while Xing Xu, who couldn't get in, took out another car. Now no one was in the mood to answer their question. Senior Tan said in a serious tone, "The kids are about to face thunder tribulation. Now stop asking. You'll see later."
Although he hadn't seen Yun Che undergoing the tribulation with his own eyes, he had heard from Yun Yao and the others that even Che had narrowly escaped, so how were three two-year-old kids supposed to do with it?
Thinking about this, Tan Jianting's face became even more ugly. They were his beloved great-grandson.
Meanwhile, in the cave inside a mountain at the top of the world.
"Thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven? How come it's the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven again?!"
The sleeping Xuan Tian suddenly widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had sensed. For the past year or so, his soul sometimes slipped out, which had caused quite some damage to his spirit, and every time it went out and returned, he had to sleep for a while, but to his surprise, he was woken by thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven this time. However, he couldn't comprehend why thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven came over and over again? When he underwent thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven years earlier, Xuan Po told him that there would be only one person with Big Chance in a space and those who could trigger the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven had to have Big Chance. But Yun Che had already triggered the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven, right?
"Pa, pa…"
"Damn it!"
Xuan Tian straightened up, the restraint imprisoning him hissing like current. He couldn't find a way to break away from the crystal coffin, and his face was distorted as he cursed. Xuan Tian held his breath and tried to feel it, but he only came to know that Yun Che and the others were undergoing the tribulation at the Coast Base. He couldn't figure out the detail, because the thunder section created by the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven could even keep him, the space master, away.
"The thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven only appears at the Golden Pill Stage. Yun Che has undergone the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven long time ago and he has passed the Golden Pill Stage. There's no way that he is going to trigger thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven again. So who on earth is it? How could he have triggered the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven? Could it be the second one with Big Chance?"
His hoarse voice rumbled in the mountains. Soon Xuan Tian overturned his speculation. Though he hated Xuan Po so much that he wanted to kill him, he believed every word Xuan Po had said. Deep down, he feared him and yet trust him.
"Let's see who else can trigger the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven."
As the words fell, a dark air came out of his body and gradually formed into a tall figure in the mountain.
"Ha, Xuan Po, you still want to suppress me now?"
But just as the Dark Shadow was about to leave, the restraining energy inside Xuan Tian's body suddenly strengthened, and the Dark Shadow, which had taken form, returned to his body. He used to be able to sit in the crystal coffin, but now he fell down with a thud. A light rope the size of a finger appeared on his body, hissing like current, and it tightened around him, which made Xuan Tian unable to move.
"Ah… Xuan Po… Xuan Po…"
His roared sounded in the whole mountain belly. The restraint was strengthened, so it was impossible for Xuan Tian to go to the Coast, so he also missed the chance of witnessing the birth of three little monsters.
Being blinded by Xuan Po, Xuan Tian cared too much about Xuan Po and believed every word he said, so much so that he overlooked that it was not only those with Big Chance that could trigger the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven, but anyone who stood against the heavens could trigger the tribulation at the Golden Pill Stage.
The Coastal Base. An endless coastline.
With the speed of Heiyu, they left the base a minute or two later and entered an unoccupied sea, and the thick dark clouds formed by the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven chased closely after them. The sea of 10,000 acres immediately become a section of thunder tribulation. Heiyu did not dare to stay in the area, fearing that it might draw stronger thunder tribulation. Yun Che soothed the kids, telling them what to do, while Xing Feng formed a huge tribulation array with high grade crystal nuclei.
"Dad, so many thunder babies."
Normal kids would've been scared to cry by the scene in front of them, but the three babies, who were already used to the power of thunder since their birth, were so excited, especially the second one Xing Shibo, whose power came from the thunder. He was not only fearless in the face of the thunder, but felt familiar.
"Yeah, a lot of thunder babies, but they are here to strike you…"
Yun Che, who was responsible for calming them down, didn't know whether to cry or laugh. As talkative as he was, he didn't know what else to say. The babies were not afraid at all, and they were only two years old, so even he told them what was happening, they wouldn't be able to comprehend, right?
"No, thunder babies are good babies. They will not strike Bobo."
As expected, Xing Shibo immediately waved his little hand to deny what he said, and after thinking about it, he added, "Ningningm Yangyang, also no strike."
"Hmm."
Xing Shining and Yun Ziyang nodded at their dad, convinced.
"The tribulation array has been formed."
Xing Feng finished the preparation and walked over. Yun Che was surprised at the size of the array, as it covered the area within a radius ten meters, "Is this…is this the fake array Heiyu taught me last time?"
Compared to this one, his array last time was like how kids compared to them.
"This is the array for destroying the thunder. When someone cultivates to become a god, he must receive eighty-one tests of thunders, and even a real god is unable to make it through. This array can withstand the thunder power, weaken it, and then inject it into the human body. So it can refine the body and resist the thunder tribulation, so it is an array for destroying the thunder. This is the only thing I can do."
He could only find this array of lowest level from the memory of Heiju. And higher-level array would be the array to defeat thunder that Immortal Kings needed when they entered the Great God Realm. But divine stones were needed to construct that. Otherwise, he would've formed an array of the highest level.
"You don't have to say the final sentence."
Yun Che wanted to cry, but this way, the children should be fine, right?
"Boom, boom…"
The dark clouds overhead rumbled and roared, the thunder snakes that were already as thick as an adult's arm still rolling in the pool of thunders. Yun Che raised his eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched. How the hell did they look like thunder babies?
"I'm going to face the tribulation with them."
Looking at the clouds overhead, Yun Che suddenly said in a deep voice. He knew that if there was one more people in the thunder section, the power of the thunder tribulation would double. Moreover, his cultivation was close to the Ascension Stage, which would further increase the power. But he couldn't possibly watch his kids from afar. It was always nice to play safe. What if something really happened and then it would be too late for them to come over.
"I knew you would act like this. Let's settle the children first. I have set up five core positions of the array, in the east, west, north, south and center. We'll face the tribulation as a family."
Crouching down to hold his shoulders, Xing Feng pointed to the location of the core positions. He was not planning to leave the kids to the tribulation alone since the very beginning.
"Yeah."
Looking deeply at him for a long while, Yun Che nodded in determination, and the two of them placed the kids at the core positions of the array, "Remember, sit here. And you can only stand up when dads tell you so, okay?"
"Okay."
The kids, who were sitting cross-legged at the core positions of the array, nodded. After telling them over and over again, Xing Feng and Yun Che walked to their array eyes and sat down cross-legged. The two of them as well as Xing Shining and Yun Ziyang sat at the four core positions outside with Xing Shibo at the middle. With the two adults at Peak of the Mahayana Stage and three kids at the Golden Pill Stage, the power of the thunder tribulation would be strikingly strong. The thunder still hadn't struck, so it must be accumulating power.
"Crap, array for destroying the thunder. Xing is amazing."
Outside the thunder section, Heiyu, who was flying in mid-air roared in surprise at seeing the scene. Soon he understood what was going on. He just knew that there was no way that his master would leave little masters behind and that they would face the tribulation with the kids.
"Array for destroying the thunder?"
Yun Cheng and others who were also in mid-air asked. Heiyu threw a look at them and replied, "Don't worry. Array for destroying the thunder can withstand the eighty-one tests of thunders needed to become a god, let alone the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven."
The moment he saw the array, he was relieved. He was indeed the God Heiju. And if there was a divine stone, Heiyu believed that he would be able to generate a stronger array.
"The thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven is not the strongest?"
Yun Cheng and others widened their eyes in amazement. Though they had seen the world, they could not help but be shocked. Was the road to become a god really that dangerous?
"Of course. First of all, the thunder tribulation of ascension is more terrifying than the thunder tribulation of Ninth Heaven, or else how could Xuan Tian fail to cross the tribulation back then? And the thunder tribulations at higher levels are more than ten times the power of the thunder tribulation of ascension, and there is a countless number of them. I remember the master said back then, when he became the Great God, he was being struck by all kinds of thunder of half a month.
"Crap, then they're in trouble, aren't they?"
Zhou Zeyu couldn't help but curse, Heiyu rolled his eyes at him, "Otherwise why do you think there are only seven Great Gods after so many years?"
Many people had the talent and they were hardworking, but most of them died because of the thunder tribulation. The seven Great Gods were the most powerful people in the whole universe, so after tens of thousands of years, they were still the only Great Gods.
"…"
Everyone was speechless. They had to concede defeat. That was simply not a world they could understand, or even touch.
