There was an unforeseen change in the Thunderbolt Tribulation.
The Thunderbolt Tribulation in the sky had become even more violent because of Ou Yangming’s attack. Purple lights flickered in the clouds, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined together, making crackling sounds.
“How could this be? Did something go wrong?”
“Wasn’t it blocked? How could the Thunderbolt Tribulation become so violent?”
Before everyone could think, a suffocating feeling pressed down heavily on their hearts. The aura in the thundercloud made them panic.
Even the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was terrified. He was right beside the range of the tribulation and could feel the terror of the lightning even more clearly.
A ray of light suddenly flashed through the dark cloud, and a shooting star seemed to have appeared in the black sky.
Once again, a thunderbolt descended. The purple lightning was like a horned dragon, roaring ferociously as it flew downward.
“The power of this thunderbolt has exceeded the limits of a Venerable One!”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One did not expect that after the tribulation cloud was blocked by Ou Yangming, it would undergo such a change. As a top-grade Venerable One, he was feeling uneasy.
‘If this thunderbolt struck my body, I’m afraid that it’ll be difficult for me to withstand it.’ The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One stared at the sky, unable to calm down.
‘What should Old Craftsman do?’
‘Can Ou Yangming withstand it?’
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not answer these questions. At this moment, he could only pray silently for Old Craftsman.
At the center of the Thunderbolt Tribulation.
Ou Yangming’s body was surrounded by black and white energy. This energy protected the old man within, preventing him from sensing the frightening thunderbolt in the sky.
Given such a powerful thunderbolt, just its aura alone was enough to suppress the old man to the point that he could not even breathe. Its strength had reached the middle stage of a Ruler.
It was equivalent to an ordinary emperor, but it was an invincible existence in the small world. Even the most powerful Venerable One would definitely be reduced to ashes under this move.
This was also the most powerful thunderbolt that the will of the small world could produce. It was equivalent to an existence at the limit. It was almost impossible for other people in the small world to reach such a limit. Even the past Ou Yangming would not be able to resist the thunderbolt of a middle-stage Ruler before breaking through to a Venerable One.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was not worried at all. A middle-stage Ruler was nothing to him.
He raised his head, and the Reincarnation Spear suddenly appeared in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the thunderbolt had arrived. Ou Yangming raised his hand, and spiritual Qi gushed out from his hand as he smashed the thunderbolt away with one palm.
‘So powerful!’
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One took a deep breath. He thought that Ou Yangming was at most a top-grade Venerable One. Now that he looked at it, he was completely wrong. Ou Yangming must have broken through to become a supreme Ruler.
‘Isn’t that too fast?’
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not believe it. Ou Yangming had previously broken through to a Venerable One and left. It had only been 2 years.
What could he do in 2 years? It was not as much as the time the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One used to study a subject.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was looking forward to it. With Ou Yangming’s strength, Old Craftsman might really be safe and sound.
After 2 years together, he and Old Craftsman had become good friends. Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to his friend.
The tribulation cloud in the sky was still brewing.
Everyone else who was watching from a few thousand meters away was stunned. ‘Is that still a thunderbolt? How could it be such a frightening thunderbolt?’
Whether it was Intermediate Spiritualists or Advanced Spiritualists, their hearts were filled with fear. The thunderbolt just now made them feel like it was the end of the world.
“Is it over?”
Everyone looked ahead. That side was blocked by formations. They had no idea what was going on inside.
When Ou Yangming attacked just now, since the height was too low, they did not see it.
Under such a terrifying thunderbolt strike, probably no one would survive!
Some people were already regretting coming to watch this tribulation. They knew that this tribulation would probably traumatize them. If they had the chance to transcend the tribulation in the future, the scene they saw today would probably affect their state of mind at that time.
“That’s not right!”
Just when everyone thought that it was going to end, someone suddenly looked at the sky and said.
“The tribulation cloud hasn’t dissipated. In other words, the person who transcended the tribulation hasn’t died. He’s still alive…”
The voice was filled with disbelief. ‘Still alive? How could he still be alive? Under such a terrifying thunderbolt strike, even a powerful existence like the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One wouldn’t be able to resist it. How could that person still be alive?’
Despite that, that was the reality. The tribulation cloud in the sky was still there, and it was still brewing, preparing to strike again.
“Who’s that person…”
All the surrounding people and spirit beasts felt as if their worldview had collapsed. It was one thing for this frightening Thunderbolt Tribulation to appear, but there was actually someone who could stop it.
The tribulation in the sky was still brewing but suddenly, a silver light flew up from the ground. It was like a shooting star chasing the moon. When everyone looked carefully, they realized that the silver light was a long spear.
Crack! Crack! The silver spear pierced through the sky.
Like a sharp arrow, it pierced through the cloud, leaving a hole in the dense tribulation cloud. The thundercloud gradually dispersed and disappeared in all directions.
“This…” Everyone was dumbfounded.
The originally ferocious tribulation cloud in the sky gradually dissipated and soon, the sky became clear again.
A gentle breeze blew, and there were no clouds in the sky.
The tribulation cloud came and went quickly. The way it dissipated made countless people feel incredulous.
With a flash of silver light, the long spear that broke through the cloud flew back again.
“Did that long spear just scatter the tribulation cloud?” Someone muttered.
“That’s too powerful.”
From ancient times until now, no one had ever heard of the situation where the tribulation cloud was scattered during the tribulation.
Although no one knew who was transcending the tribulation in the distance, everyone still remembered the long spear in their hearts.
With so many people seeing it, one could imagine that this matter would definitely spread and become a legend that people would talk about with relish.
In the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s garden.
Ou Yangming withdrew the power of the law of Yin and Yang from the old man’s body. The tribulation cloud in the sky dissipated, and the old man was safe.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One flashed and flew over. He looked at the long spear in Ou Yangming’s hand and asked in shock, “How did you do it?”
Breaking the thundercloud with one spear!
This was the first time the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had seen such a situation. Ou Yangming’s strength had really shocked him.
Ou Yangming smiled and responded, “The strength of this tribulation has an upper limit. At most, it’s only at the middle stage of a Ruler. Even if I helped the old man and raised the strength of the tribulation to the peak, it’s still not my match.”
“In other words, your strength has exceeded the upper limit of the Thunderbolt Tribulation?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One grasped the crux of the matter.
“Yes.” Ou Yangming nodded.
What was the upper limit of the Thunderbolt Tribulation? The middle stage of a Ruler! Just now, Ou Yangming had said it. In other words, this young fellow advanced from a Venerable One into a middle-stage Ruler in 2 years.
This was too inconceivable.
2 years, it was only 2 years.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not calm down. He looked at the sky, and a certain thought in his heart wavered. ‘That incomparably mysterious Great Wide World… Does it really have such magical powers?’
Old Craftsman looked at the young fellow beside him and sighed with emotion. ‘This rascal has really grown up.’
“Old Man, why are you looking at me like that?” Ou Yangming asked with a smile.
Old Craftsman patted the dust off his body and stood up. He sighed with emotion and said, “B*stard, you’ve finally grown into a towering tree.”
Ou Yangming said sweetly, “It was you who taught me well.”
Old Craftsman was so happy that he could not contain his joy. Although he knew that he was only of some help to the young fellow in smithing.
“Old Craftsman, Ou Yangming, I’ve asked someone to prepare a banquet,” the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One suddenly said.
“Old Man will accompany you. He has just broken through and needs to relax. I still have other things to do.”
Ou Yangming rejected the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. Old Craftsman guessed what Ou Yangming was thinking. He laughed and said, “Hurry up and go. If she knows that you accompanied an old thing like me as soon as you came back, she’ll surely have objections.”
Hearing what he said, Ou Yangming chuckled. He said goodbye to the two and left in a flash.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One knew what Ou Yangming was going to do. He smiled bitterly, looked at Old Craftsman, and said, “Let’s go.”
Old Craftsman flicked his sleeves. “Let’s go. Today, the two of us will drink to our hearts’ content.”
Butterfly City was a city not far from the Beast King Sect in Danzhou.
The city was not big, but it was very lively. It was crowded, and the sounds of people selling candied haws could be heard everywhere.
“How much are your candied haws?” Ou Yangming walked to the side of an old man and asked.
The old man held a wooden stick in his hand, on which there were candied haws sticking out like hedgehogs.
He had a kind face, and he said with a smile, “2 copper coins each.”
Ou Yangming was stunned for a moment. He had everything in his interspatial band. With the Nine-sworded Ruler’s ring, there were probably not many people in the Great Wide World who were richer than him. Having said that, he really did not have any copper coins.
Mortals and cultivators were in completely different worlds. Ou Yangming could not give the old man a piece of high-grade spirit coin as it would only harm him.
“Young fella, did you not bring money?” The old man asked.
Ou Yangming nodded awkwardly.
“I’ll give one to you.” The old man picked out a stick with slightly bigger candied haws and handed it over.
“But I don’t have any money,” Ou Yangming said.
“I’ll give it to you. It’s free. This isn’t anything precious.” The old man had a smile on his face.
Only then did Ou Yangming remember that this was just an ordinary small city in the Spiritual Realm. It was not a world of mutual deception.
With a smile on his face, Ou Yangming took the candied haws and said, “Thank you, grandpa.”
The old man also smiled. It was a very kind smile.
At this moment, a rude voice was heard, “Old man, didn’t I tell you that you’re not allowed to sell this kind of trash outside my shop?”
Ou Yangming frowned slightly, only to see a middle-aged fat man dressed in luxurious clothes walking out from a spiritual medicine shop behind them.
The old man was startled and hurriedly planned to leave.
That fat man continued to scold relentlessly. The content of his scolding was very unpleasant, and his voice was very ear-piercing like that of a male duck. Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with disgust.
“Little b*stard, what are you looking at? Be careful or I’ll dig out your eyeballs!” The fat man disdainfully glanced at the candied haws in Ou Yangming’s hand and scolded, “Only trash would eat trash!”
