Countless lightning snakes whipped across Ye Yun’s body like leather lashes, simultaneously igniting cosmic storms. However, before these storms could fully form, they were shattered by the apparition of a flying sword.
Ye Yun was now naked, his seemingly frail physique exuding a faint, gray halo that continuously devoured the energy accumulating on his skin.
Time ticked by, second by second. The lightning snakes surrounding Ye Yun grew in number, as if all the lightning snakes in the entire human star domain had found their target. Like ordinary water droplets converging into a river, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of slender lightning snakes merged, forming colossal lightning dragons.
“Who is this guy? What race is he? Why is his heavenly tribulation so terrifying? How can the Tenth Firmament have such a fearsome lightning tribulation, and such a terrifying person!” Inside the domain gate, the shadowy figure’s face turned pale upon seeing the lightning dragons. His true essence formed a giant yellow shield, enveloping him.
Through the shield, it was clear that this individual had no hair on his head, and his skin was pockmarked, giving one a sandy impression at first glance. This, coupled with his tattered clothes and an empty right sleeve, gave him the appearance of a refugee.
Strapped to his back was a weapon resembling a katana, though it was tragically broken in half. The cloth wrapped around its hilt was stained with dried blood.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed through the cosmos. A lightning dragon, ten thousand meters long, surged from afar. Wherever it passed, the surrounding void was absorbed into its body, becoming part of its energy.
“Lightning Dragon God?! Damn it, what kind of heavenly tribulation is this! When I broke through the Monarch realm, I didn’t even have one-ten-thousandth of this lightning dragon!”
Even from hundreds or thousands of attacks away, the disheveled bald old man could feel the terrifying energy and pressure emanating from the lightning dragon!
What shocked him even more was that when the lightning dragon attacked, the one undergoing the tribulation showed no intention of blocking it. Instead, he spread his arms, as if to give the lightning dragon a big hug?
Damn it! It's not your wife, it's something that will kill you!
The bald old man desperately wanted to shout a few words to remind the guy, but remembering that it was most taboo to disturb someone undergoing tribulation, he forcefully suppressed himself.
Ye Yun spread his arms, and two black holes, compressed to a diameter of only half a meter, spun in his hands. As the lightning dragon approached, a hint of mad laughter flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
“After enduring the whipping of thousands of small lightning snakes, the first tribulation of heavenly tribulation has finally arrived! Dragon God’s Thunder? If I devour it, how much will my strength increase?”
That’s right, Ye Yun had endured the lashing of countless lightning snakes for a full hour before the true heavenly tribulation arrived. It had to be said that this heavenly tribulation was simply too abnormal! If it were someone with less true essence, let alone passing the heavenly tribulation, whether they could even survive until the first tribulation arrived was a question.
The lightning dragon was fast. A distance of several hundred kilometers took only a few seconds. It was like a speeding bullet train charging directly at Ye Yun!
*Whoosh…*
Ye Yun’s figure flickered and disappeared, reappearing on the back of the lightning dragon. The vortex behind him acted like a water pump, incessantly devouring the energy from the lightning dragon’s body!
Meanwhile, Ye Yun’s hands were also working tirelessly. He directly pressed the two small black holes onto the lightning dragon’s neck. True essence surged forth. With three black holes operating simultaneously, they rapidly devoured the energy from the lightning dragon.
Instantly, streams of terrifying energy poured into Ye Yun’s body from his hands and his head. Although the quantity was not large, the quality was astonishingly high, so high that Ye Yun’s refinement was struggling to keep pace with the absorption speed!
“Damn it, is this truly just a heavenly tribulation for a Monarch breaking through to the Ultimate stage? Is it that abnormal? If someone else were here, I’d stand on my head and eat pig’s trotters for a living if they survived!”
Ye Yun cursed aloud. Ever since he began cultivating the forbidden art ‘Zhū Tiān’ (Heaven Punishing), he had vaguely sensed a malevolent intent from the game’s Heavenly Dao towards him. Though faint, Ye Yun had a peculiar feeling!
Zhū Tiān, Zhū Tiān, it’s not punishing *you*!
In the past, players who cursed the Heavenly Dao in the game would be silenced or even face more severe punishment. Now, Ye Yun had learned the forbidden art ‘Zhū Tiān’ and seemed to have transgressed some taboo.
“Dead Valley One, someone in the Tenth Firmament dares to touch the body of the Lightning Dragon God with their bare hands! How formidable must this physical body be? Even in the First Firmament, such a being would be rare!”
The bald old man desperately wanted to turn around and enter another star domain. He felt an unprecedented danger in this lightning-filled domain. However, Ye Yun’s tribulation was too captivating. He was certain that Ye Yun’s tribulation was far more advanced than his own, and this was a rare opportunity for observation and learning!
“Hmph!” Ye Yun’s refinement speed couldn’t keep up. His entire body became somewhat bloated due to the surging energy. Ye Yun finally couldn't take it anymore. He withdrew the two black holes from his hands, sat on the lightning dragon, raised his fist, and began to punch the lightning dragon repeatedly.
He didn't use any true essence, relying solely on his pure physical strength. Each punch sent a shockwave, causing the lightning dragon’s body to shrink slightly. The bald old man watching from the side was dumbfounded.
“What are you looking at, you old pervert!”
*Boom…*
Before the bald old man could even comprehend what was happening, his ears went deaf. Ripples appeared on the shield of his domain gate.
Ye Yun, who had somehow appeared above the domain gate holding the lightning dragon’s tail, flickered and slammed the entire lightning dragon onto the domain gate.
Ye Yun had long discovered the presence of the shadowy figure. However, since the other party was within the domain gate’s shield, he had ignored him. But as Ye Yun recognized the power of the first tribulation of this heavenly tribulation, he grew displeased. He had no idea what the other party’s intentions were, so he directly flung the lightning dragon at him.
After dealing with the lightning dragon, he plunged into the domain gate. Unfortunately, the shadowy figure had already been scared away and fled into the God Race star domain.
Ye Yun glanced behind him, where tens of thousands of lightning snakes were rapidly converging. The first tribulation lightning dragon that had been blown up had separated into many lightning snakes, which were now merging with newly arriving lightning snakes to form an even more terrifying tribulation beast!
Ye Yun’s expression shifted slightly. He looked at the spot where the bald old man had disappeared, gritted his teeth, and directly entered the domain gate, heading towards the God Race star domain…
