Chapter 233 Soul Beast World: Jerry Researches Transcending the Lightning Tribulation

The Soul Guidance World has developed to this point. Jerry has done what he could to help. The rest is up to time. As time goes by, the world will eventually recover.

Next, Jerry explored the fairy world guided by the Fairy Queen. This world was interesting; no humans had been born there.

Under the guidance of the Fairy Queen, the spirit beasts all chose to transform into demons, and thus no humans appeared.

After transforming into demons, the monsters became closer to nature, and the entire world consisted of forests without any buildings.

The world is lush and green, with fresh air and beautiful scenery.

If you want to cultivate your character and temperament in the future, coming to this world to live for a while would be the best thing to do.

This world has never experienced war, and apart from cultivation, development in all aspects has been slow, not bringing Jerry much benefit, but it can make people feel comfortable in their hearts.

Then Jerry arrived at the world of soul beasts developed by the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King deliberately concealed the rules of transformation, because a 100,000-year-old soul beast only has one way out: facing the tribulation of lightning.

This world also has no humans, only some soul beasts with relatively high cultivation levels who have taken human form.

Because a tribulation lightning was constantly hanging over their heads, they couldn't develop in other areas, and their cultivation was very slow.

The cultivation realms in this world have also been redefined.

Ordinary cultivation is divided into first-tribulation soul beasts, second-tribulation soul beasts, third-tribulation soul beasts, and so on up to ninth-tribulation soul beasts.

After the Nine Tribulations comes the Divine Tribulation Soul Beast.

Moreover, no cultivation techniques were created in this world. After surviving a tribulation, many soul beasts deliberately slowed down their cultivation speed, so why would they bother to study any cultivation techniques?

To them, studying cultivation techniques and accelerating their cultivation is simply about passing the tribulation of lightning sooner and dying sooner.

So many years have passed, and the most powerful being in the entire world is only a Three Tribulation Soul Beast.

After seeing this, Jerry felt he had to remind the Silver Dragon King.

"Silver Dragon King, I know what you're thinking, but have you considered that your method is wrong?"

The Silver Dragon King was initially quite pleased with himself, because during this period, one Tribulation Three Soul Beast, one hundred and thirty-seven Tribulation Two Soul Beasts, and more than one thousand three hundred Tribulation One Soul Beasts had appeared in this world.

In her view, this was already very powerful, far surpassing the Star Dou Great Forest of the main world.

But to her utter surprise, Jerry said her method was wrong.

At first, she thought that Jerry hadn't seen her results, which was why he said that.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, I realized that Jerry wouldn't say these things for no reason, given that I've known him for so long.

He then asked, "Is there something wrong with the method?"

Jerry noticed the Silver Dragon King's hesitation and said, "Look at all the soul beasts in this world; they are now afraid to cultivate."

"Soul beasts are meant to defy the heavens. If they dare not cultivate because they fear the tribulation of lightning, then these soul beasts are nothing but trash."

Upon hearing Jerry say that soul beasts are afraid of cultivation, the Silver Dragon King was also very angry. To be afraid of tribulation lightning and not dare to cultivate is simply a disgrace to soul beasts.

"I understand you, but that's how the world is now. Soul beasts that have survived the tribulation are even more afraid to cultivate. Look, they're all suppressing their cultivation speed!"

Jerry felt that the Silver Dragon King had to see this clearly.

Otherwise, with the world developing like this, all the soul beasts within it would fear the lightning tribulation and would eventually die under the next lightning tribulation.

If you want to change this world, the first thing is to make these soul beasts no longer afraid of lightning tribulations.

"I know this is the same as it was in the main world before."

"If it weren't for the tribulation ground you created, the soul beasts of the main world wouldn't dare to break through so easily."

"I was just thinking that as the world develops, will a method emerge that is immune to lightning tribulations? This method is very important."

"After all, not every world has you, so I want to see if the soul beasts can figure out a way to transcend tribulation through their own efforts."

At this point, the Silver Dragon King became somewhat saddened and said nothing more.

Jerry knew the Silver Dragon King's purpose, but his method was wrong.

How does a tribulation of lightning occur?

It was added by the gods of the main world.

How can ordinary soul beasts defy the rules of the gods?

Relying on these soul beasts to develop on their own has led them astray. How long will it take to develop at this rate? A million years? Ten million years?

This was not Jerry's original intention in replicating the world.

What was Jerry's original intention?

By replicating the world, you can improve yourself and the main world.

Now, seeing this world guided by the Silver Dragon King, it's completely worthless.

And look at what these soul beasts are researching?

The research focuses on how to slow down cultivation.

Jerry felt helpless seeing these spirit beasts researching this.

Others study how to make progress, while we study how to stay stagnant.

The world has developed in this direction, and it must be corrected, otherwise the world will be ruined.

"Silver Dragon King, I know your purpose. Now, watch how I guide this world to achieve your goals!"

The Silver Dragon King is indeed incapable of management or development; all she knows how to do is use her overwhelming power to intimidate other soul beasts.

If it comes to conquering cities and seizing territories, the Silver Dragon King would definitely be a good general.

However, after the victory, the Silver Dragon King was no longer able to focus on developing the nation.

Between offense and defense, defense is actually a little more difficult.

Jerry then came into this world in the form of a fairy.

After that, they began to make contact with these soul beasts who had survived their tribulations.

The spirit beasts in this world have very simple minds. After all, with the lightning tribulation hanging over everyone's heads, they have no time for any schemes or tricks. Therefore, Jerry quickly integrated into the community.

Then, by guiding these soul beasts through language, their thoughts are gradually changed.

When the time was right, Jerry directly deduced the concepts of writing and language.

Once written language is available, these soul beasts will be guided to record all their tribulation experiences so that later soul beasts can view them.

They observed and learned from each other, and soon summarized some tips for overcoming tribulations.

Then Jerry began collecting and organizing the information.

Jerry eventually got something useful.

In the main world, Jerry used a lightning rod to guide the lightning tribulation underground, but he never really studied the lightning tribulation, nor did he study why some soul beasts could overcome it while others could not.

Now, with so much experience in overcoming tribulations, and with Jerry's observations and deductions, they finally understand why some soul beasts cannot overcome their tribulations.

The tribulation of lightning is actually quite simple; its power is fixed.

According to the main world, there is one lightning tribulation every 100,000 years, two lightning tribulations every 200,000 years, and so on.

Because soul beasts cultivate based on instinct, after 100,000 years, there are differences in the physical strength and recovery ability of each soul beast.

Even the most physically powerful soul beasts will suffer serious injuries after surviving their first tribulation, and then slowly recover.

Then some recovered, while others did not. Although they survived the tribulation, their injuries did not heal, and they eventually died from their wounds.

A soul beast with a weak body cannot even withstand a single lightning tribulation, let alone recover.

Therefore, the key to surviving the tribulation lies in the physical strength and regenerative ability of the soul beast itself.

Back in the main world, Jerry had researched instruments for detecting physical data, but those instruments mainly tested Soul Masters, and physical strength was determined by the number of years a Soul Ring could withstand.

However, soul beasts are different; their physical strength should be tested based on how many lightning tribulations they can withstand.

Jerry then recruited a group of followers, under the slogan of studying together and overcoming the tribulation together.

Many spirit beasts were watching Jerry make a scene. With the lightning tribulation overhead, he was still recruiting subordinates and building up his power. It was simply a waste of time.

Once you fail to survive the tribulation, won't all your subordinates just scatter and disappear?

Jerry knew that a group of spirit beasts were waiting to see him make a fool of himself, but he didn't care.

On the path of research, one will always be subject to gossip and rumors.

That's because others don't understand. Only when you succeed will others recognize you, and all those rumors and gossip will fall apart on their own.

Jerry does know a few ways to improve physical strength.

One method is to absorb spirit rings and spirit bones, but in this world of spirit beasts, this method is directly ruled out.

The second method is training. Through training, the body absorbs more nutrients and gradually becomes stronger.

The third is gravity. Living under high gravity for a long time, the body gradually becomes stronger in order to adapt to gravity.

The third method is good, but it requires a gravity array, and there are no soul masters in this world of soul beasts.

Using it here is like using a cheat code.

Unless the spirit beasts here can figure out the gravity array on their own.

There is no gravity array, but Jerry can use it in other ways.

Because many soul beasts have gravity skills, and some powerful soul beasts even have gravity domains.

Jerry then felt that combining the second and third methods would yield the best results.

Then they began searching the entire world for soul beasts that possessed gravity abilities.

Sure enough, it was quite easy to find soul beasts with gravity abilities. We quickly found seven first-tribulation soul beasts, two second-tribulation soul beasts, and forty or fifty soul beasts that hadn't undergone tribulation.

Because they use gravity-based abilities, these spirit beasts are generally stronger.

However, they did not systematically understand the benefits of gravity and only used it during combat. Therefore, although it improved physical strength, the improvement was not significant.

Among the two second-tier Soul Beasts, one was a Giant Earth Ape that mastered the Gravity Domain.

Gravity domain is actually a type of earth attribute rule, so earth attribute soul beasts are more likely to learn gravity soul skills.

After much persuasion from Jerry and a slight reveal of his strength, he was successfully recruited by Jerry as his subordinate.

Only second-stage Tribulation Soul Beasts can take human form; those below the second stage are all beasts, in various forms. Therefore, human training methods are not suitable for Soul Beasts.

So let's start with the most basic thing: running.

Jerry cleared a clearing in the forest.

Then let the soul beasts that know gravity release gravity. However, for these soul beasts that know gravity skills, gravity is only an attack method and lasts for a very short time.

Therefore, the key is still to look at the second-tier Soul Beast, the Heavy Earth Giant Ape.

Because Jerry had subordinates, he arranged for a group to specifically search for food.

There is also a group of soul beasts with healing, soul power restoration, and physical strength restoration skills, who are assigned to provide medical support for cultivation.

The other spirit beasts began to move around under the gravity field.

During this period, Jerry successively subdued more than a thousand soul beasts, and then categorized those with special skills among them.

Jerry directly arranged for 500 soul beasts over 80,000 years old to begin the experiment.

It starts with one unit of gravity. Soul beasts are not human; their bodies are inherently very powerful.

Because these soul beasts have varying levels of physical strength, some find it easy under one times the gravity, while others struggle.

However, this is only temporary; Jerry will gradually increase the gravity afterward.

As time went by, these soul beasts worked hard to train. Jerry provided them with food, and they only needed to train every day, so they improved very quickly. Now all five hundred soul beasts have adapted to double the gravity.

At this moment, Jerry had the Earth Giant Ape double the gravity.

This left many spirit beasts in dire straits, lying on the ground unable to get up. But Jerry didn't care about them. As long as they weren't dead, they could slowly adapt by lying on the ground. Besides, there was a group of spirit beasts nearby providing medical support, so there was no need to worry at all.

While they were cultivating, Jerry secretly tested the physical strength of all the tribulation-transcending soul beasts in this world.

However, this time it was set directly as a numerical value: the physical strength of a first-tribulation soul beast is 100, a second-tribulation soul beast is 200, a third-tribulation soul beast is 300, and there are no higher values ​​yet, because the highest level in this world is currently the third-tribulation soul beast.

Moreover, Jerry's value is a safe value.

For example, a soul beast with a tribulation of one hundred might actually only need eighty to survive the tribulation, but it would suffer severe injuries.

Previously, soul beasts cultivated individually and recovered on their own when injured. However, if Jerry gathers the soul beasts he can heal together to help them recover, it can be considered as successfully passing the tribulation.

Jerry didn't do that, because with a physical strength of 100, he could completely withstand the lightning tribulation and would only suffer minor injuries, which he would recover in a few days.

Because it's impossible for every soul beast to have a bunch of healing soul beasts protecting it during its tribulation.

No one may interfere during the tribulation of lightning. Interference will result in a lightning tribulation of double power striking the interferer.

It seems that the gods of the main world also considered this issue, which is why they set it up this way.

However, in Jerry's eyes, this setting has many flaws.

Jerry wouldn't have noticed it before, but for Jerry now, the loophole has appeared.

For example, if a creature undergoing tribulation uses a healing soul tool on its own, it is not considered interference.

There are also recovery and healing formations. You can undergo tribulation directly within the formation and recover at the same time, which is not considered interference.

These two methods are not suitable for use in this world, but they are possible in the main world.

When the time comes, compile a complete set of tribulation-crossing information and give it to the Silver Dragon King. Also, tell her about the information that assists in the tribulation-crossing so that she can manage it herself.

After the five hundred soul beasts adapted to double gravity, Jerry conducted a physical strength test on them all.

The highest is eighty, and the lowest is sixty.

The soul beast that reached level eighty was only slightly unaccustomed at first, but it quickly became able to move freely under double gravity, which seems to be due to its high physical strength.

Then the Gravity Giant Ape adjusted the gravity to three times.

The Gravity Giant Ape had no idea why Jerry did this, but since Jerry was feeding and caring for it, it didn't care.

After adapting to three times the gravity, we tested again.

The best is still eighty, and the lowest is sixty-five.

Then continue to increase gravity.

When they learned about the eight times gravity, even the soul beast with a physical strength of eighty at the beginning felt the pressure and found it wasn't so easy to adapt.

Seeing this, Jerry deduced the relationship between gravity ratio and body strength: 1:10, one unit of gravity, and body strength reaches a maximum of ten; two units of gravity, and body strength reaches twenty, and so on.

With Jerry's training, the physical strength of these soul beasts all reached 100. After reaching 100, further increases in gravity would be difficult for the soul beasts to adapt to, and they would not be able to improve further.

Jerry knew that they were restricted by the world's rules again, and it seemed that he had no choice but to let them undergo the tribulation.

Initially, these soul beasts were all over 80,000 years old. During this period of cultivation, it took them two whole years to increase their gravity from one to ten times.

Moreover, after cultivating under eleven times the gravity for three months, there was no improvement whatsoever.

For the past two years, they have been instinctively suppressing their soul power, and Jerry is aware of this.

But how could Jerry let them succeed?

He secretly set up a spirit-gathering array underground, and even set it to 300 times its normal strength.

Furthermore, Jerry also added Soul Power Pill powder to his regular food.

Then these soul beasts could no longer suppress themselves.

In two years and three months, all the soul beasts reached a cultivation level of 9,999 years. It was Jerry who helped them suppress it to this level.

Why do this?

Jerry had his own ideas; the success of a single soul beast in transcending its tribulation wouldn't affect the entire soul beast world.

The most awe-inspiring thing is when everyone undergoes a collective tribulation.

The time has come, and Jerry has cleared out another place outside for him to undergo tribulation.

Then he personally invited all the soul beasts that had survived the tribulation to watch the scene of this tribulation.

After the news spread, many soul beasts that had not yet undergone tribulation also spontaneously came to watch.

Jerry checked and found that all the soul beasts had arrived.

The collective tribulation is now beginning.

At Jerry's command, the five hundred soul beasts immediately separated, each one every hundred meters.

Since it's the first tribulation, the range isn't that large; a hundred meters is enough.

After the five hundred soul beasts were in position, Jerry immediately released his suppression.

Under Jerry's suppression, the cultivation levels of these soul beasts had already reached their limit. As soon as Jerry released the suppression, they instantly broke through to 100,000 years.

Five hundred dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

Everything was hazy and gray, the sun was blocked, and the sky darkened as if it had entered night.

After the dark clouds appeared, they began to gather. Perhaps because they needed to gather 500 clouds at once, the gathering was a bit slow.

As the first dark cloud gathered, a bolt of lightning struck down. The soul beast below was still looking up at the dark cloud above and had no time to react before it was struck.

After the first lightning strike, the dark clouds did not dissipate, but instead merged directly into the nearby dark clouds.

As the dark cloud merged in, it quickly gathered, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning struck down.

After it was split open, the dark cloud merged into other dark clouds.

As the dark clouds merged in, the lightning strikes from the sky became faster and faster, sometimes two lightning bolts struck down at the same time, and sometimes three at the same time.
