Chapter 155 Thunder God's World

Wan Lei was in his element amidst the thunder, the very force that Qi Manyao couldn't bear was something he could withstand, far from his limit.

"This is the world of thunder, this is the world of the Thunder God..."

Wan Lei muttered in his heart, as if saying it would make the lightning strikes less painful.

"Where is that damned metal lightning?"

He groped around in the sea of thunder, absorbing the lightning that struck from the thunderclouds above.

Although he could absorb as much lightning as he wanted here, Wan Lei felt like something was missing, and his cultivation was progressing very slowly.

Firstly, his speed of absorbing lightning was slow. It wasn’t like this stuff would automatically burrow into his body; he could only absorb it bit by bit.

It was like facing a mountain of food; you could only eat it mouthful by mouthful, no matter how fast you ate.

Moreover, the lightning in his dantian's foundation would eventually reach saturation, just like getting full after a meal.

Unless his stomach got bigger, he wouldn't be able to eat more.

He needed to break through to increase the size of his foundation and store more lightning.

Secondly, although the lightning here was constant, it was more or less the same as natural lightning.

It was just the characteristics of the Thunder Wind Realm that made it easy for lightning to gather here, just like lakes forming in places with a lot of rain.

Although this natural lightning had varying degrees of strength, its level was far inferior to that of Heavenly Punishment lightning.

After all, Heavenly Punishment belonged to the lightning of the Heavenly Dao, extremely fierce and able to directly strike Wan Lei in the most brutal way, helping him break through shackles and improve his cultivation.

Of course, all of this was on the premise that he could withstand it. If he couldn't, it wouldn't be breaking through his cultivation, but breaking his dantian and his life.

This Lightning Refining Pool was extremely large, and even if Wan Lei released his divine sense to search, he could hardly explore one percent of its area.

"Since the mysterious expert said that metal lightning has already been produced here, it must be here, and it doesn't need to be refined by special means or wait for time to reveal it. I just need to find it."

Wan Lei cheered himself on.

Fortunately, although the range of his divine sense was limited, he could walk deeper.

He flew slowly until he reached a distance of half a kilometer, where the lightning was already extremely violent, almost at the limit of what he could withstand.

It seemed that he would need to break through his cultivation before he could go further.

So, he silently absorbed it here.

Two days later, Wan Lei got up, turned around, and flew towards the entrance, arriving next to Sui Xiaohang.

Sui Xiaohang's cultivation was too weak to go very deep, and he couldn't absorb the lightning either. He could only stay within a hundred meters of the entrance, silently tempering his body with the lightning.

Qi Manyao glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask anything. It was Tian Suanzi who spoke up.

"Young Master Lei, why did you come back instead of tempering your body and improving your cultivation?"

Wan Lei smiled and looked at Tian Suanzi, saying, "You'll know in a moment."

Sui Xiaohang also laughed, waiting to see Tian Suanzi make a fool of himself.

Tian Suanzi looked at the two of them, completely puzzled, but figured that whatever the other party was going to do wouldn't affect his Core Formation, so he ignored them.

Before long, a powerful pressure from the Heavenly Dao appeared in the sky above them, and the already thick thunderclouds above became even thicker.

Almost black!

Tian Suanzi noticed something was wrong at this moment, his eyes widened and his mouth agape.

"That's not right, this seems to be the aura of Heavenly Tribulation! This old Daoist has seen people undergo Heavenly Tribulation before, but..."

Tian Suanzi looked up at the tribulation clouds, then looked down at Wan Lei, then looked at the tribulation clouds again, then looked at Wan Lei again...

"Holy crap, Young Master Lei, aren't you only at the lower level of Foundation Establishment? How are you about to undergo the Core Formation Tribulation? That's not right, are you hiding your cultivation?"

Tian Suanzi looked at Wan Lei in horror.

Everything before his eyes subverted his worldview.

So…you can break through to Core Formation even if your cultivation hasn't reached the upper level of Foundation Establishment?

Then what about himself? He had toiled for so many years to reach the upper level of Foundation Establishment, and he wasn't even as good as a teenager?

"Hehe, do you only know about Heavenly Tribulation?"

Wan Lei looked at Tian Suanzi with a mocking gaze.

"If this isn't the aura of Heavenly Tribulation, then what is it? That shouldn't be, how could your cultivation at the lower level of Foundation Establishment attract Heavenly Tribulation? Is Heavenly Tribulation your relative?

Could it be that there's something similar to Heavenly Tribulation? I vaguely remember something like that...

That's not right! It's Heavenly Punishment! You kid attracted Heavenly Punishment?!"

Tian Suanzi jumped up from the ground.

He suddenly understood. What else could descend when not breaking through in cultivation other than Heavenly Punishment?

That's right, this was Wan Lei's fifth Heavenly Punishment.

After Wan Lei finished his last Heavenly Punishment, he rushed towards Guannan Prefecture. It took him five days on the road, two days fighting and searching for a way in the cave, and now two days entering here.

Exactly nine days had passed.

"I said, can't you go to your old place to undergo tribulation? Why did you have to run to our entrance? Don't you know that Heavenly Punishment is the same as Heavenly Tribulation? The more people there are, the more intense it is? Are you trying to harm me?"

Tian Suanzi shouted with his mouth wide open.

"It's not like that. Brother Sui Xiaohang and I have already made a vow to live and die together in Heavenly Punishment. Now that I'm going to face Heavenly Punishment, I definitely have to come and find him."

Wan Lei said.

"Then you two go to the depths of the Lightning Refining Pool."

"That won't work, Sui Xiaohang's cultivation is not enough to go that far."

"………Then you go undergo tribulation yourself, why are you dragging others along?"

"That won't work, my brother and I live and die together."

"..." Tian Suanzi.

"I'm leaving, is it okay if I leave!"

Tian Suanzi hummed and hawed, unwillingly flying towards the depths of the Lightning Refining Pool amidst the thunder.

He didn't want to go to the Lightning Refining Pool before, because the lightning didn't help his cultivation. He just needed to wait peacefully at the entrance platform to break through his cultivation.

Who knew he would suffer this disaster, and have to take a lightning strike with you for no reason.

If he didn't take a lightning strike with you, he would have to go to the Lightning Refining Pool to take a lightning strike.

Who did I offend, how did I provoke such an evil star.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Tian Suanzi of course knew that going to the Lightning Refining Pool was a wise choice compared to Heavenly Punishment.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Tian Suanzi, don't go, let's accept the baptism of Heavenly Punishment together.

This Heavenly Punishment is a good thing, it relaxes your muscles and invigorates your blood, prolongs your life, and is healthier when you wash it off."

Wan Lei laughed loudly as he watched Tian Suanzi flee in a sorry state.

"You relax your own muscles and invigorate your own blood, and prolong your own life. You better die under this Heavenly Punishment and go to the underworld to prolong your life."
