"Power... So Master’s hair suddenly becoming longer is because of that? That is really unique." Fu Young raised his hand and gently lifted Xiao Shou’s long black hair, his fingertips brushing it in reluctant fascination.

Weren’t they talking about that power just now? Why did the atmosphere suddenly feel a little warm and unsettling?

It must be because Fu Young had grown up.

His appearance, his temperament, everything about him now felt different from ordinary people, like something refined and extraordinary.

That must be why it felt like this.

Xiao Shou awkwardly stepped back two paces and watching his hair slip through Fu Young’s long fingers and fall away.

His ears slightly red, he quickly turned his head and said, "We can talk about the divine ability later. This is not the time. The thunder tribulation is about to descend. If we both undergo it together, the power of the lightning will increase significantly. You stay here. I will leave defensive formations, artifacts, and talismans for you. Do not forget to use the thunder tribulation to temper your body. If you cannot hold on, then use the tools for defense."

"Master, are you going to abandon me? Leave me alone to face such a terrifying thunder tribulation?"

Fu Young showed a wronged expression.

In his heart, however, he was thinking that he already had experience with tribulation.

Even if the power doubled, he was confident he could withstand it with his methods.

But his master had no experience at all.

His cultivation had advanced too quickly, leaving no time to practice techniques or refine magic tools.

In this situation, how could he be left alone to face a tribulation formed from the combined Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul stages?

Xiao Shou looked at Fu Young who was holding onto his sleeve, and said helplessly, "Young’er, it is not as simple as you think for two people to undergo tribulation together. The one nine tribulation of Foundation Establishment, the two nine tribulation of Core Formation, and the three nine tribulation of Nascent Soul. Combined together, I alone would likely face something close to a six nine tribulation. Adding your fivenine tribulation on top of that, it might even approach a nine-nine tribulation."

"We will survive it. Master, do not forget this is a small thousand world. Power beyond its level cannot descend here. The same applies to thunder tribulation. Just like in the secret realm, because the laws were incomplete and its capacity limited, no lightning tribulation appeared, right?" Fu Young said firmly. "I am confident I can endure it."

"Confidence alone does not solve everything."

Looking at Fu Young’s confident expression, Xiao Shou hesitated slightly.

At that moment, the dark clouds circling above them finally finished gathering power.

Amid rolling thunder, a lightning serpent shot down rapidly toward him.

Both of them were standing there, yet it seemed to be aimed only at hi..

Xiao Shou quickly tore his sleeve away and preventing the lightning from transferring onto Fu Young.

He the guided the lightning into his body and used it to temper himself, just like countless times in the lightning training chambers.

He refined it with practiced ease and quickly absorbed it.

But immediately after, another bolt that was twice as thick as the previous one descended.

Another one?

And there is someone else undergoing tribulation here. Did the heavens not see him?

Despite his complaints, Xiao Shou continued refining the lightning calmly and steadily.

Fu Young who was focused on refining his own energy did not see it.

When the second lightning struck Xiao Shou, his expression instantly darkened.

He raised his head and stared at the sky.

Mysterious blue patterns appeared on his forehead as if something was about to emerge.

The thunder tribulation seemed to sense something.

The lightning that had been aimed at Xiao Shou suddenly retracted mid-fall as if startled.

It curled up in the dark clouds, rolling around for a while before reluctantly dropping a bolt as thin as a strand of hair onto Fu Young.

Was this really thunder tribulation?

It almost felt intelligent.

Compared to his last tribulation, this one was absurdly restrained.

The tiny strand of lightning entered his body and vanished instantly.

For the first time, Fu Young felt speechless toward the thunder tribulation that all cultivators feared.

At this moment, Xiao Shou finished refining the lightning and opened his eyes again.

Fu Young quickly dispersed the blue patterns on his forehead.

Immediately, the tribulation clouds surged again.

Another arm-thick bolt of lightning struck down directly onto Xiao Shou and causing him to let out a muffled groan.

"Again..."

He immediately closed his eyes and continued refining it.

Seeing this, Fu Young’s expression turned completely cold.

He raised his head without hesitation and activated his Eye of Ishvara, staring straight at the tribulation clouds.

In an instant, a red vortex flashed across the sky.

The thickest part of the tribulation clouds was pierced open, revealing a circular patch of clear blue sky before being quickly filled again by surging clouds.

The sound of thunder grew even louder, as if the tribulation itself had become angry.

Fu Young, however, did not care and prepared to activate his ability again.

As if sensing his intention, the lightning flickered very actively a few times. Then it slowly released two bolts, each slightly thicker than before, toward Fu Young.

Only then did Fu Young stop activating his eyes ability.

However, the blue patterns remained on his forehead as if ready to flare up again at any moment.

It looked like he might open his divine eye again at the slightest disagreement with the thunder tribulation.

In the distance, the group that had come to observe the tribulation watched this scene with their divine sense and felt completely speechless.

Chen Qingzhi scratched his head and looked at Chen Zhiyi.

"Brother, so this is what a thunder tribulation looks like?"

"I have never heard of a tribulation like this before."

Chen Zhiyi pressed his fingers against his brow.
