Five Thunder Heavenly Tribulations

As soon as Chi Qingshuai finished speaking, I immediately guessed what he wanted to say.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is likely one of the opportunities for King Wu Helu. However, at the beginning, he probably didn't expect to accidentally obtain such a strange fate," I said to Chi Qingshuai.

Chi Qingshuai nodded and said, "Go on."

"What kind of fate?" JIETOU looked puzzled.

"JIETOU, you haven't studied physics before so you don't know," I frowned and said: "In physics there is a theory called electromagnetic shielding."

"Electromagnetic shielding?" JIETOU was completely confused.

"Yes. According to the theory in physics, in free space, the surface of a metal conductor is an equipotential body with zero internal charge. Do you know what that means? This means that if we put a wire mesh cover on the ground and hide inside it... even if lightning strikes outside it won't harm us because the wire mesh cover is an equipotential body which shields off all thunder and lightning. The thunder can only strike onto the surface of the wire mesh cover but cannot enter its interior. Those charges will directly discharge into the earth's crust." This is also one principle behind lightning rods. As we mentioned earlier Mo Du Mountain has a metallic shell which not only acts as a lightning rod but also provides electromagnetic shielding."

"In other words, Wu King Helu hid inside Mo Du Mountain's interior where he practiced for two thousand years without ever experiencing true thunder tribulation because those heavenly thunders were shielded by mountain terrain; He unintentionally found a way to avoid thunder tribulations."

"But like Master Chi just said earlier - Thunder Tribulation cannot be avoided forever; If it doesn't hit him this time then it will come next time under Heavenly Dao's urging force causing Wu King Helu to always be in a state of tribulation. Those thunderbolts will continue to strike him non-stop and this is why there is a lightning pool electric array on top of Mo Du Mountain. If nothing unexpected happens, those thunders are actually aimed at Wu King Helu; they want to kill him. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, these thunderbolts accumulate with the increase in Wu King's cultivation level and the number of times he crosses tribulations which makes them stronger and eventually may become the legendary world-ending Thunder Tribulation!"

At this point, my expression couldn't help but become excited as I clenched my fists.

Seeing my expression, JIETOU couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the world-ending Thunder Tribulation?

That is a kind of heavenly calamity that only exists in legends, but now it seems very likely to exist in reality," Chi Qingshuai took over my words and explained to Jietou, "As we all know, ordinary thunder tribulations are just shape-changing tribulations with the power of only a few small lightning bolts. If there are more lightning bolts like the heart thunder tribulation that kills thousand-year demon monsters, then the maximum power is just piercing through ten thousand lightning bolts. This is already the limit of thunder tribulations. However, these situations are based on each thunder tribulation occurring separately. Once all these thunder tribulations overlap together, the situation will be extremely terrifying. It's not just about thousands or millions of lightning strikes because shape-changing tribulation acts externally while heart thunder tribulation acts internally. Although shape-changing thunder has weak power, it can stimulate heart-thunder-tribulation and cause it to spread infinitely. And compared to ordinary creatures, Heart Thunder Tribulation is far beyond what they can bear; they would die upon contact without any possibility of resistance."

Chi Qingshuai said this and subconsciously took a deep breath before looking at Jietou and saying: "You can imagine what will happen when both Shape-Changing Tribulation and Heart Thunder Tribulation occur simultaneously under spreading Heart Thunder Tributation - this world will become something unimaginable! Without exception within hundreds or thousands miles radius around us will turn into dead land where no living creature could survive."

"Only hundreds or thousands miles? I thought it was going to destroy the whole world," hearing Chi Qingshuai's words made Jietou couldn't help but sneer.

This bastard's words made me and Chi Qingshuai feel suffocated for a moment.

Hundreds or thousands miles were not enough for him; he still wanted to destroy the whole world! We really didn't know how he thought.

"In any case, from the current situation, whether it is for selfish reasons or for justice, we must stop King Wu Hualv," I interrupted Jietou's words and looked at Chi Qingshuai.

Chi Qingshuai nodded and then pointed to the top of Mount Modu: "If you observe carefully, you should find that the thunder on the mountaintop is constantly changing. Based on my observations over many years, I found that the thunder on the mountain top can be roughly divided into five states. The simplest one has only one lightning bolt while the most complex one has five lightning bolts falling together. According to these changes in thunderbolts, I deduced that King Wu Hualv had already reached Red-haired Corpse King state and started crossing Five Thunder Heavenly Tribulation."

"The era where King Wu Hualv lived was about two thousand years ago from our time; zombies change color every five hundred years. If we count from when they first turned into flesh-eating creatures until their bones turn into ashes again - this time frame matches up perfectly with his status now. So your speculation is correct - King Wu is indeed crossing Five Thunder Heavenly Tribulation." Saying this made me breathe a sigh of relief as I looked at Chi Qingshuai: "So it seems like we still have plenty of time left because Zombie Heart Thunder Tribulation will arrive only when they transform into Chong (a type of zombie). For him to reach that stage would take at least another 1,500 years or so; therefore we have plenty of time to deal with him.

Hehe, you're thinking too simply again," upon hearing my words, Chi Qingshuai couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Do you think King Wu is a fool? Do you really think he will stick to the rules and wait patiently for one or two thousand years? You are wrong, very wrong. He has been waiting for two thousand years and has long been impatient. Therefore, he should have been studying some ways to quickly improve his cultivation since a long time ago. Of course, I don't know what his method is yet, but from my observation, the recent celestial phenomena in Mount Modu have changed and thunderstorms have become more intense. This indicates that King Wu Huainan is likely to undergo the sixth tribulation in the near future. You see if this matter is true or not; if it is true then according to my estimation it shouldn't take him more than 100 years from fifth thunder tribulation to sixth."

"A hundred years! In just a short hundred years' time - transforming from Red-haired Corpse King into Golden-haired Corpse God - do you know what this means? It's like taking an airplane on a road trip at such an incredible speed that it's almost unbelievable! This phenomenon is definitely abnormal which means that King Wu Huainan must have found a way to quickly improve his cultivation. So now we don't have much time left; maybe tomorrow he will start with the sixth thunder tribulation and after passing through it who knows how fast he'll reach Golden-haired Corpse God status next time around? If he succeeds then this world may truly be destroyed because by then we won't only face destruction of heaven's calamity but also chaos brought about by Golden-haired Corpse God forcibly crossing space-time turbulence into heavenly realm attacking us all over again.

You guys need to understand that although Earth may be huge compared to other things on earth itself, in the vast universe it is nothing more than a speck of dust, fragile like a baby. Even the impact of a small asteroid can cause world destruction. Therefore, the situation now is very severe and we must stop King Wu as soon as possible." Drunk Taoist said this and stood up subconsciously. His previous confused expression disappeared without a trace, replaced by an energetic look with determined eyes.
