Chapter 4635
“What’s happening?” Xing Daorong stepped out of the room.
“General Xing, it seems Mr. Chen is about to break through to the Mahayana realm,” Bai Cheng said, glancing at the room where Kai was cultivating.
“It’s just a breakthrough to the Mahayana realm. Why is it causing such a commotion?” Xing Daorong asked, puzzled.
After all, Beast City had many Mahayana cultivators, and breakthroughs to this realm weren’t uncommon. Yet, none had ever caused such a disturbance.
“General Xing, don’t forget—Mr. Chen is a dragon, a true dragon cultivator,” Bai Cheng reminded him.
Xing Daorong fell silent, his gaze fixed on the thunderclouds gathering in the sky.
The sky darkened as if ink had spilled across it. Thick clouds rolled in from all directions, pressing down on the mountain with a suffocating weight.
Flashes of lightning crackled through the dark clouds, silver bolts twisting like dragons, heralding an unprecedented thunder tribulation.
Kai knew the most critical moment had arrived. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes. Spiritual energy surged through his body like a roaring river, gathering in his dantian and forming a mighty force.
He felt the ebb and flow of the world’s spiritual energy, resonating in harmony with heaven and earth, as if he had become one with the universe.
Then, the first bolt of lightning tore across the sky.
A thick, silver thunderbolt screamed through the air, striking directly at Kai.
Gritting his teeth, Kai braced himself and endured the thunder’s fury with his body.
But this was only the beginning.
More bolts followed, crashing down like a relentless storm, each carrying the destructive power of a natural disaster.
Kai’s figure flickered within the blinding lightning. Each strike seared him with unbearable pain, as though countless blades were slicing through his flesh.
Yet, Kai did not retreat. Gritting his teeth, he persevered, holding himself up with sheer willpower as he waged a desperate battle against the thunder tribulation.
During this ordeal, Kai’s body endured an unprecedented trial.
The thunder’s force scorched his skin, leaving charred marks, and in some areas, his flesh was torn and bloody.
However, the spiritual energy within him continuously repaired these injuries, and with each recovery, his physical strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
More importantly, Kai’s mental strength was elevated through the baptism of the thunder tribulation.
He sensed the will of heaven and earth hidden within the lightning—a primal and pure force, as if it were nature’s deepest call.
He tried to comprehend this power, exploring its mysteries, seeking to align his mind with the cosmos and transcend his limitations.
As time passed, the thunder tribulation reached its peak.
Bolts of lightning, as thick as dragons, crashed down from the heavens, each powerful enough to shatter a mountain.
Kai’s spiritual energy surged wildly, fusing with the thunder and lightning around him.
He was no longer merely defending but began to counterattack—actively channeling the power of the lightning to confront the tribulation, showcasing incredible mastery and strength.
Finally, with one last earth-shattering roar, the final bolt of lightning dissolved into the sky. The dark thunderclouds dispersed, revealing a long-lost clear sky.
The house where Kai had been cultivating was reduced to ashes. He now stood amid the ruins—his clothes tattered, hair disheveled—but his eyes gleamed with newfound brightness and depth, as though he had grasped the secrets of heaven and earth.
In that moment, his heart brimmed with reverence and understanding of power, life, and the natural world. Yet, he knew this was only the beginning. The path ahead remained long and uncertain.
“Boom!”
With a thunderous explosion, the aura surrounding Kai suddenly expanded, as if it could tear apart the very fabric of the world.
