However.
Just as this thought crossed everyone's minds.
The world suddenly underwent another massive change.
Dark clouds churned.
An incomparably terrifying heavenly tribulation was brewing within.
This tribulation lightning was completely different from the previous golden-patterned one.
Instead, it was greenish, looking entirely unlike a normal tribulation lightning.
It resembled a tree more than anything!
"Strange!"
"What kind of tribulation lightning is this?"
The beasts of the Demon Court muttered amongst themselves, seeing this tribulation lightning.
With the recent spiritual energy resurgence on Blue Star, they had no idea what this was.
"This is Wood Lightning!"
At this moment, Fa Yan took a deep breath, his voice laden with seriousness.
"Wood Lightning? What is that?" Mo Zi's heart tightened, and he quickly asked.
The other beasts also turned their gazes.
If there was anyone among them who understood tribulation lightning.
It would undoubtedly be Fa Yan, who had emerged from the Heavenly Road.
"Wood Lightning is as its name suggests." Fa Yan looked at everyone, his gaze unwavering in its solemnity.
"If struck by Wood Lightning, the one undergoing tribulation will be unable to move and cannot use any of their own abilities."
"In simple terms, spiritual energy cannot be used."
"Just like wood, one can only stand and take the blows!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, the beasts were first startled, their relief instantly replaced by tension.
Being forced to stand and take hits.
Who could possibly endure that?
Even if Ao Yuan was powerful, this was still tribulation lightning!
"Daidai, this is Wood Lightning, if you can dodge it, hurry and do so!"
In her panic, Dai Xiaomei quickly shouted a reminder to Ao Yuan.
"Wood Lightning?"
Ao Yuan lowered his gaze to look at Dai Xiaomei, then cast his eyes back to the heavens.
He felt a sense of confusion, but also became more serious.
Seeing the expressions of Dai Xiaomei and the demon beasts below, this tribulation lightning seemed to be something extraordinary.
"It's no use."
Fa Yan glanced at Dai Xiaomei and let out a bitter laugh. "Wood Lightning, it is called Wood Lightning precisely because."
"It means that no matter what, it cannot be avoided."
"What!"
This remark stirred up a thousand waves!
All the beasts were stunned.
"Then... doesn't that mean Daidai (Lord Dragon God) can only passively take the hits?"
Before their words could be answered by Fa Yan.
RUMBLE!
The green lightning instantly struck Ao Yuan.
It seemed ordinary, and Ao Yuan did not appear to be harmed.
However, everyone noticed that just as Fa Yan had said.
The terrifying pressure Ao Yuan had exuded moments ago had vanished without a trace.
Even the lightning that shimmered around him had disappeared.
And he himself stood there frozen, like a piece of wood, unmoving.
"Hmm?"
"This lightning is strange!"
Feeling the abnormality in his body, Ao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Look, Lord Dragon God has been hit."
Fa Yan, below in the Demon Court, wore an even more bitter expression.
Wood Lightning!
When struck by lightning, one becomes like wood.
Although this effect had a duration.
Everyone knew that in battles between experts, every second, even every fraction of a second, was crucial.
Let alone during the process of undergoing tribulation.
"You... you guys quickly look... Lord Dragon God!"
At this moment, a demon beast trembled and pointed at Ao Yuan.
The beasts all looked up sharply and saw countless green vines sprouting from Ao Yuan's massive body.
These green vines were incredibly thick; it would take the strength of over a dozen people to embrace them.
And Ao Yuan's body was completely entwined by these vines.
It looked like a green cocoon, making it impossible to see Ao Yuan's original form.
RUMBLE!
At this moment, Ao Yuan was completely immobile.
And with each descending green tribulation lightning strike, it precisely hit him.
Not to mention causing significant damage, but each strike.
Caused more vines to attach themselves to Ao Yuan.
Layer upon layer, while Ao Yuan himself.
Appeared to show no reaction whatsoever.
"Fa Yan, what kind of tribulation lightning will Daidai face next?"
Below in the Demon Court, Dai Xiaomei quickly asked Fa Yan, who was beside her.
He was the only one here who understood tribulation lightning the best.
"According to ancient texts, Lord Dragon God is currently facing the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning!"
The hearts of all the beasts sank, and they listened with rapt attention.
They had no idea what the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning was.
"The Five Elements Tribulation Lightning means that five elemental tribulation lightnings will descend." Fa Yan explained briefly and then continued, "And Lord Dragon God previously faced the Water Lightning Tribulation and the Wood Lightning Tribulation."
"Next will be the Fire Lightning Tribulation, the Earth Lightning Tribulation, and the Metal Lightning Tribulation..."
Hearing this, all the beasts turned pale.
They didn't quite understand what these tribulation lightnings were.
But from Fa Yan's simple explanation, they knew how terrifying these tribulations were.
Let alone anything else.
Just fire!
Could anyone withstand fire?
Even if Ao Yuan could control fire, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid of it.
Even if he could, it was manageable before.
But now Ao Yuan couldn't use his spiritual energy.
How could he rely on fire for defense?
He couldn't possibly rely on his physical body!
And Ao Yuan, entwined with vines, would undoubtedly suffer even more pain if struck by the Fire Lightning Tribulation.
RUMBLE!
While the beasts were lost in thought, time slipped away silently.
At this moment.
The dark clouds churned again, and a fiery red hue emerged from the flames.
This is it!
The Fire Lightning Tribulation!
Upon seeing this tribulation lightning appear, all the beasts could not help but feel worried.
Speak of the devil.
The Fire Lightning Tribulation had arrived!
RUMBLE!
At this moment.
The surging tribulation lightning, cloaked in crimson, burst forth from the dark clouds and struck down fiercely.
In an instant.
The Wood Lightning and the Fire Lightning that remained on Ao Yuan intertwined.
The green vines entwined around Ao Yuan were lightly scorched by the flames carried by the Fire Lightning.
And instantly erupted into a raging inferno.
The flames were incomparably terrifying.
Completely engulfing Ao Yuan's massive body.
The entire horizon was illuminated in a fiery red!
And Ao Yuan's original form was completely obscured.
Most critically, due to the nature of Wood Lightning.
Ao Yuan couldn't move even an inch, let alone resist.
He could only endure the flames!
At this moment.
Feeling the terrifying heat radiating from the sky, the hearts of the demon beasts in the Demon Court were clenched tightly.
Even with Ao Yuan's powerful physique, he must be suffering greatly under this intense flame.
After all.
This was flame carried by tribulation lightning.
Not ordinary flames!
Fa Yan, who knew better the terror of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning, turned even paler.
The other beasts didn't know, only feeling worry.
But Fa Yan knew that many who underwent tribulation died from the combined effect of Wood Lightning and Fire Lightning.
Otherwise.
The world behind the entire Heavenly Road would not have only a handful of principal gods!
If this tribulation lightning were so easy to pass.
Principal gods!
Would have been as common as street vendors.
