Chapter 801: Chapter 801: The Strongest Catastrophe

In the cauldron, the strange beast was shrinking, struggling intensely, but having suffered a great loss in its battle with Shi Hao, it was firmly pressed there.

The cauldron, constructed by lightning elder Mu Yan, drew upon lightning to temper and stew the individual within.

Shi Hao was in pain yet rejoiced, struck by lightning, his whole body emitting green smoke, especially since in the cauldron there was no escape, he could only passively endure the tempering of his own body.

However, the strange beast was like a great tonic; it dimmed, its eyes lifeless, all the essence of dao of lightning absorbed by Shi Hao.

Initially, it was much bigger than Shi Hao, but now the situation had reversed; crying out like a cat, unable to break free, caught by Shi Hao, it turned into strands of lightning, shrinking and steaming into a dense mist.

“This is so comfortable, what is this? A spirit nurtured by dao of lightning?” Shi Hao explored, finding it not quite right; it looked like a creature, yet had no soul.

Regardless, Shi Hao greatly benefitted; the strange beast contained pure vitality of dao of lightning, all entering his body, cleansing him, making his Primordial Spirit splendidly brilliant.

Finally, everything dissipated, the strange beast vanished, completely refined by Shi Hao.

“Is this over?” Shi Hao emerged from the cauldron, looking up at the sky, surrounded by oppressive dark clouds swirling heavily.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a fierce barrage of lighting attacked Shi Hao, causing his orifices to bleed, emitting intense light. The power of this strike was so immense that even the toughest ironstone would shatter.

“Damn it, I’ve never pretended to be strong!” he cursed, as he was thrown sideways, struck truly by lightning.

And this was not the end, but the beginning of a new round; the sky blazed with electric light, falling like a waterfall, immense and boundless, with purple qi coming from the east.

Shi Hao felt dizzy, completely dumbfounded; there were just too many, hundreds of thousands of lightning waterfalls cascading from the void, hitting him with tremendous noise.

Is there any way out for him?

Standing under the waterfall group, he struggled with all his might, driving the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art to its limit.

Even so, he was disheveled, his blood splattered, and his body extensively charred, his hair scorched and falling out, a sight too horrible to endure.

Towards the end, his skin even cracked and smelled burnt, peeling off in chunks like cracked earth, putting Shi Hao in immense peril.

“There is vitality in lightning, containing the essence of heaven and earth; I must find it,” Shi Hao shouted in his heart.

This was a catastrophe; he was fighting hard, for if he could endure it, his body and Primordial Spirit would become even more robust. But such severe trials could destroy both body and soul if not careful.

He roared, punching against the waterfall, continuously fighting.

It was like when he was a child, carrying tens of thousands of pounds of boulders, practicing punching against the waterfall, contending with heavenly might, but today’s situation was only much more terrifying.

Shi Hao’s head was bloodied, his body severely damaged, large areas of dry and cracked old skin falling off.

However, his spirit was highly refined, his body nurturing a vitality emitting a blazing brilliance.

This was like tempering immortal gold, casting off the dross, cleansing the impurities, leaving only the essence, forging the sharpest and strongest weapon in the world.

This was the true refinement, walking the line between life and death, continuously forging his body and divine soul, achieving a true transformation.

His body was in extreme pain, even as the old skin peeled off, but Shi Hao’s essence became even more dazzling, refining the most pure nature, retained within his body.

The center of his brow shone brightly, a small figure glowing there, also throwing punches, undergoing a similar forging.

Shi Hao’s body was strong, this was indisputable; therefore, he could withstand it. His Primordial Spirit was also formidable, having consumed the Golden Bodhi Fruit, which had expanded his sea of consciousness, but it was not well-refined.

Now, being hammered by the lightning waterfall, his Primordial Spirit was being compressed, extracted, highly crystalline, and without flaw, cutting down the mottled impurities in his Primordial Spirit energy due to consuming the miraculous fruits of heaven and earth.

Shi Hao watched as his flesh dried up, old skin peeling, but the Bone Text within him glimmering, his being was undergoing transformation.

Finally, he sensed the vitality within the lightning waterfall, opened his mouth to roar, facing the waterfall, punching upwards, his whole body rising, absorbing the lightning.

Boom!

Heaven and earth roared, endless lightning brilliance.

Shi Hao was undergoing a shocking transformation; his body swelled, his brow shone luminously, lightning ceaselessly surged into his body, altering his withered state.

This was a surge of vitality, regenerating his flesh and blood.

Purple Qi Coming from the East, peaceful yet fierce.

The waterfall dried up, and a cliff appeared there, uncannily formed by the lightning.

Shi Hao rushed up, sat cross-legged on the cliff, constantly circulated the Bone Text, until finally it was quiet, his body was pale white, and a small figure inside his brow shone brilliantly, incredibly powerful.

This transformation was much more effective than the previous ones!

The world was quiet again, Shi Hao did not dare to be careless, each time he thought it was over, lightning would strike again, having been fooled twice already.

“Hmm, is it snowing?” Shi Hao muttered, as giant snowflakes fell from the sky, carrying a chill, cold to the bone.

This was truly strange, even with snow and ice among the clouds, it shouldn’t be like this.

“Crack!”

When some palm-sized snowflakes landed on Shi Hao, they exploded with lightning, the cold was striking, and the thunderstorm was deafening, quite terrifying.

This snow and lightning were very bizarre; each snowflake could send Shi Hao flying sideways, coughing up blood, the force was frighteningly scary.

This didn’t seem like snow, but rather like one meteor after another, immensely heavy, constantly smashing down on Shi Hao’s body, then exploding.

By now, he believed it, the Ancient Immortal Era had passed, this new epoch had changed, one should not carelessly invoke Heavenly Tribulation, otherwise, misfortune and strange occurrences would follow.

Now, having experienced it himself, the lightning was unlike any other, different from what was recorded in the bone texts, there were creatures, waterfall cliffs, and now even snowflake thunderstorm appeared.

Crack!

Finally, the sky filled with snowflakes dancing in the fierce wind, all the snow and ice converged together, freezing Shi Hao solid inside a huge crystal-clear ice block.

It was ten feet tall, hanging in mid-air, cold to the bone, even the Venerable Ones would be frozen, their bodies and Primordial Spirits cracked, Mana suppressed solidified, unable to be utilized.

Clearly, it wasn’t just the temperature, but also natural laws at play.

This snow and lightning Tribulation was demonic!

Shi Hao was dazed, sealed within, suffering unimaginable cold-induced shocks of natural laws, simultaneously including dao of lightning entering his body, almost shattering him.

He knew, he could not fall into a slumber, must not close his eyes, or else he would surely die in this bizarre lightning Tribulation.

Slowly, his body began to glow, then flared intensely, his vitality surged, his masculine vigor boiled, even the divine light of ‘sin’ rose from his brow.

Shi Hao exhausted all his might, releasing all the potential in his body, like a giant fireball burning, finally he transformed into a golden sun, blazing intensely.

Eventually, the ten-feet “Cold Ice” cracked and exploded, turning into endless light rain, falling onto his body, and finally absorbed.

“Demonic, the lightning tribulations I experienced must have a significant origin!” Shi Hao firmly believed, although this time was very dangerous, the rewards might also be enormous.

He clearly felt, each time he survived a deadly tribulation, his body seemed to be slowly transforming, becoming more tenacious and robust, his Primordial Spirit purer, transforming into a dazzling orb of light, surrounding a small figure.

“I am becoming stronger!”

Boom!

After a brief silence, another lightning tribulation descended.

Just like that, Shi Hao encountered great troubles, constantly undergoing tribulations, each lasting a long time, and after careful counting, he had actually undergone nine Heavenly Tribulations.

“This…” He was a bit shocked, facing the nine heavens tribulation, which ranks among the topmost Heavenly Tribulations; even the mighty ones from the Ancient Immortal Era could barely make it past the third or fourth heaven.

Anyone who manages to surpass the fifth level of Heavenly Tribulation is no ordinary person.

“The nine types of tribulations I just faced, most were bizarre, unheard of before, and only two or three types are recorded in the bone texts as the strongest lightning.”

Shi Hao was speechless for a long moment; it was his first attempt at transcending the tribulation, yet he was subjected to such treatment.

It seems easy to say, but just now, he was fatally wounded five or six times; in the worst instance, his skull was cracked open, all limbs broken, and bone chunks flew out.

However, he ultimately endured it with great difficulty.

The documented ones are already twisted, and those undocumented ones, he felt, were even more monstrous.

“It’s finally over.” Shi Hao let out a sigh of relief.

“Boom!”

A colossal bolt of lightning, like a massive sea, crashed down, breaking Shi Hao’s bones and crippling his tendons, even the Bone Texts could not defend against it, and he was covered in blood.

“How can there be more?!” This time, Shi Hao was really anxious. to temper his body to such an extent; transcending the nine heavens tribulation was a top-tier great tribulation even in the Ancient Immortal Era.

Moreover, each level of the tribulation was bizarre and frighteningly dreadful.

How could there suddenly be a tenth level?

This was simply fatal, not giving up till he’s dead, aiming solely to destroy him with a peerless great calamity.

He recalled some fragmented sayings from some incomplete bone texts; there might be a tenth level of tribulation, but generally speaking, it would not appear.

He…actually encountered it!

This was definitely because, in an era without Heavenly Calamity, he inadvertently triggered it and was being punished, hence each level of tribulation was the most powerful and terrifying.

Especially, giving him the fatal blow, the appearance of the tenth level!

This time, Shi Hao narrowly escaped death, his flesh scattered, bones gleaming, even both arms were blasted off, and he was cut in half by the supreme lightning.

“Want me dead? Impossible!”

Shi Hao roared, exhausting his cultivation, forcibly gathering his flesh and bones, merging his body together, his blood energy surging, enveloping himself.

It was a life-and-death ordeal; Shi Hao experienced the most bitter challenge.

Until the end, the lightning weakened, and he leaped up, rushing into a range of mountains.

“Hmm, why are there mountains?” He was taken aback, realizing that this ten-level bizarre tribulation had not yet ended.

The mountains shook, the sound of horse hooves thundered, stomping on the ground like an earthquake; from afar, he saw a figure sprinting toward him, a warhorse as red as blood, its mane like burning flames.

Upon the horse’s back, sat a figure, holding a Sky Art Halberd, majestic and awe-inspiring, the war aura soaring into the sky.

Extreme danger!

Shi Hao howled, his flesh continuing to merge, rallying his spirit, ready to face the final battle.

There was someone in the thunderstorm, riding a mount, this was beyond understanding, but now was not the time to ponder, only a decisive battle awaited.

“Clang!”

The Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art burst forth, Shi Hao was driven to a desperate situation, deploying all his profound arts in this battle, striking at that golden halberd.

Soon, blood splattered from his body, almost being slain.

“The tenth great tribulation emerged, seeking to kill me here, I will not just let you have your way, turn the wheel of Reincarnation!”

Shi Hao roared, unleashing the Reincarnation Treasure Technique, radiating brilliant light, overwhelming everything in front.

The one in front, along with his mount, suffered a heavy blow, spitting blood as they were all transformed by lightning, sent tumbling through the air.

“Kill!”

Shi Hao rampaged forward, his entire being advancing to attack, and broke the body of that person.

However, what Shi Hao hadn’t expected was that with the descent of lightning and a surge of electricity, that person and his mount regenerated on the spot and attacked once more, their combat strength soaring.

This was a terrifying ordeal; unkillable, each defeat only increased their strength immensely.

In this battle, Shi Hao fought until he was nearly crippled, his bones fractured, a scene of utter misery, having never faced such a fearsome adversary before.

He deployed every technique like Reincarnation Treasure Technique, Kun Peng treasure, and Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art, a feat never done since arriving in the higher realms.

This was his toughest battle, nearly at his limit.

“Kill!”

Shi Hao’s eyes burned fiercely with unyielding fighting spirit, no matter the grievous injuries or how terrifying the opponent was, he fought with all his might without any trace of fear.

Boom!

He didn’t know how many times he had repelled that person, but finally, amidst flashes of lightning, that person and his mount vanished.

By now, Shi Hao’s vigor, spirit, and essence were nearly depleted, the battle had been excruciating, his opponent extraordinarily powerful; even after being blown to pieces, they could regenerate and their strength increased, all while correcting their previous mistakes in battle.

“This time it’s a huge loss, I’m nearly crippled myself,” Shi Hao lamented, seating himself on the ground, astonished by the insanity of this Heavenly Tribulation.

Behind his head, there was a Divine Disc completely composed of characters that had shone throughout the battle, documenting everything, now it retracted.

However, Shi Hao paid it no attention.

The mountainous landscape was blurring, this place created by the transformation of lightning started to destabilize with the retreat of the heavenly calamity, and was about to vanish.

“I… have succeeded in transcending the tribulation,” Shi Hao whispered, silently pondering, realizing he had fully reached the culmination of the Venerable One.

At this moment, although his bones were broken and tendons snapped, his torn flesh and skin became even tougher, shimmering with an indescribable brilliance, with his Primordial Spirit blazing intensely.

Clang!

From his forehead, a small figure stepped out, who then inhaled, causing the clouds in the sky to shake; lightning surged from all directions, thick with energy, enveloping him.

This was the dispersed heavenly tribulation, of which he wasted not a bit, not letting even a trace go.

His body and Primordial Spirit were both enveloped in lightning, absorbing the rare tribulation light together.

Shi Hao distinctly felt himself grow stronger, both his body and Primordial Spirit seemed newly born, experiencing an unimaginable purification!

“Over there…”

He looked up towards the depths of the clouds, entwined with lightning, where there was a pool filled with liquid.

“The real transformation is coming!”

Shi Hao dashed forth, knowing this time it was worth it, even though he was almost left crippled by the bizarre tenfold heavenly tribulation, with that pool of Liquid Thunder, enough for him to be reborn.

The injuries on his body meant nothing, and he would definitely undergo a transformation.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Hao passed through the lightning and approached near the ancient Thunder Pool, the liquid inside dense and dazzling, exuding a strong essence of life, and was also fragrant.

This time the gain was immense! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote or recommend it on Qingdian (WebNovel), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.WebNovel to read.)
