Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 55 Heavenly Thunder

"By riding the true course of Heaven and Earth and controlling the transformations of the six qi, one can roam freely in the boundless realm."

As he flew freely in the sky, a line from "Free and Easy Wandering" that he had read in his previous life suddenly flashed through Xiao Bai's mind. Looking at the vast earth below and the expansive sky above, he felt as if he had been freed from his long-standing constraints and felt a sense of ease and joy.

At this moment, the energy wings behind him were purplish-red, which was an attempt after he had an idea in mind.

With Xiao Bing's support, the speed has indeed increased significantly. According to Yao Lao, the speed is comparable to that of a Dou Huang, but the energy consumption is also very high.

He made a comparison: without Xiao Bing's support, he could fly about 200 li with his own fighting spirit, but with Xiao Bing, he could only fly half that distance.

"Looks like we'll have to extend the voyage!" Xiao Bai thought to himself.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and the strong wind made his robes rustle. Xiao Bai glanced at the sky; it really changed in an instant. It was fine just a moment ago, but now it looks like it's going to rain.

Just as he was about to go down, a loud rumble of thunder suddenly exploded overhead, startling him.

Realizing what had happened, Xiao Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although he was now cultivating lightning, he still seemed to have some habits from his previous life, and he couldn't help but curse himself inwardly.

"Useless! You call yourself a lightning cultivator, and you were actually startled by thunder!"

After berating himself, one thunderclap after another sounded overhead. Xiao Bai decided to go down first; now was not the time to confront the might of heaven and earth head-on.

But at that moment, Xiao Bai felt the two lightning seeds within his body stirring, subtly transmitting a longing emotion to him, as if hoping he would stay there.

"Damn it, Xiao Yi and Xiao Bing, are you two trying to get your dad killed?!"

Xiao Bai was speechless. These two little guys would even abandon their father for a little food. They were simply unfilial children.

Just as he was about to ignore their requests and go down, they unexpectedly ran out of Xiao Bai's body and appeared behind his head.

As soon as these two lightning bolts appeared, the lightning in the sky seemed to find a relative and converged directly on this place.

At this moment, dark clouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed within the thick clouds, and muffled thunder rumbled above Xiao Bai's head.

As if stimulated by the thunder above his head, the two lightning bolts behind Xiao Bai's head also began to release their power, with blue and red lightning swirling around him in an area of ​​several meters.

Xiao Bai was somewhat unable to move at this moment. He had a feeling that as long as he moved, he would attract a thunderbolt from above, a real thunderbolt.

Moreover, the oppressive force emanating from heaven and earth made him feel that his late-stage mortal soul was nothing more than an ant.

"Damn it, you two unfilial sons have ruined my life!" Xiao Bai cursed.

Then a fierce thought rose in his heart. He looked up at the thunderbolts overhead, which were waiting to be unleashed. He wanted to see what these heavenly thunderbolts were up to in this world without heavenly tribulations.

"Ants, hehe~!" Since we can't leave, then we won't leave.

If I survive this time, I can eliminate my fear of heavenly lightning from my past life and be reborn from the ashes!

At this moment, Yao Lao stared at Xiao Bai in disbelief, almost tearing off his beard.

Looking into the distance, the sky was dark, thick with clouds, and streaks of lightning danced wildly within them. Deafening thunderclaps echoed continuously. Xiao Bai appeared as a god wielding thunder, his body wreathed in blue and red lightning, as if commanding the might of heaven and earth, ready to unleash divine punishment upon all living beings on earth.

"What's wrong with this kid?" The old apothecary was puzzled to see Xiao Bai standing motionless in the air, occasionally looking up at the sky.

Even ordinary Dou Zun wouldn't dare to force their way through this kind of power of heaven and earth. This isn't a seventh or eighth-grade pill tribulation; those pill tribulations are usually fixed, with at most a few.

But this is thunder generated by the convergence of Yin and Yang energies between heaven and earth, stretching for hundreds or even thousands of miles.

The power of heaven and earth is highly unpredictable. Sometimes an untrained mortal might survive a single blow, but other times a Dou Zun would be severely injured or even perish. Therefore, lightning cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent rarely use heavenly lightning to accelerate their cultivation.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Bai saw that although the clouds above were dancing wildly in silver, none of them landed on him, which made him a little frustrated.

This feeling of having a sword hanging over one's head, yet holding back the attack, is the most agonizing. He was prepared to use all his means to withstand the thunderous blow from the clouds.

Sensing the unusually strong lightning elemental energy around him, Xiao Bai decided to circulate his cultivation technique and begin practicing. He couldn't afford to waste such an opportunity.

He had never felt such intense lightning-attribute energy before. If he could continue to cultivate in this environment, he felt that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Dou Zun level.

Just as the technique was being activated, the two lightning bolts behind him became active, their blue and red lightning intensifying, probing directly into the clouds and drawing down strands of silver lightning to merge into his body.

"You scared me to death! You should have said so earlier if you wanted to take advantage of us!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, he thought the two Thunder Seeds had made him stay here to withstand the heavenly lightning, but it turns out these two guys went to steal the heavenly lightning!

After settling down, Xiao Bai also began to cultivate. He felt that he would be able to break through to the eighth-star Dou Shi and reach the ninth star in a little while.

At the cave entrance, Yao Lao was initially a little worried, but seeing that the boy had not only escaped being struck by lightning, but had instead sat down cross-legged in mid-air to begin cultivating, and considering that Xiao Bai was always mysterious, he felt a little relieved but also somewhat speechless.

This kid is too audacious. He's willing to risk his life for the sake of cultivation speed. He's naturally gifted and could have a bright future with slow and steady cultivation. Why would he do something so outrageous?

In the air, about fifteen minutes later, Xiao Bai felt that the opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived. He had suppressed his fighting spirit several times, but now he could no longer suppress it.

Seeing that the two lightning seed beings were still having fun, he decided to break through here.

Releasing the suppression, the liquid battle qi vortex within the dantian began to rotate, and a suction force burst forth from within.

The dense lightning-attribute energy in the air surged in immediately. There was so much of it that Xiao Bai felt he couldn't absorb it all. Moreover, this energy was exceptionally pure and could be refined into his dantian almost instantly.

This feels so good!

As he continued to absorb the lightning-attribute energy from the bottom of the clouds, the fluctuations in the energy seemed to trigger a reaction from the lightning in the clouds. Amidst the rising wind and surging clouds, a bolt of lightning as thick as a child's arm struck directly towards Xiao Bai, who was sitting cross-legged.

At this critical moment of his breakthrough, he was unable to move and could only quickly use his soul power to set up several barriers in the direction from which the lightning was coming.

Just as the barrier was set up, the blue and red colors around him quickly converged in the direction from which the lightning bolt had struck.

The silver lightning bolt arrived not far from Xiao Bai, then split into two as if it had forked, merging into Xiao Yi and Xiao Bing respectively.

This bolt of lightning acted as a trigger; shortly after, a bolt of lightning twice as thick as the previous one struck down.

Xiao Bai knew that this was not because the lightning in the clouds could be locked like a heavenly tribulation, but because a large amount of lightning-attribute energy had gathered around him.

Seeing that the two little guys weren't devouring the lightning as quickly as before, Xiao Bai's eyes twitched. He accelerated his breakthrough speed; he couldn't wait any longer.
