The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu-Chapter 412: Shock Caused by the Tribulation Gu

Long Xuan stared blankly at the sky. He had anticipated that the pill he refined might attract a lightning tribulation, but he never expected it to summon the Reincarnation Thunder, ranked ninth among all tribulation lightnings.

He suddenly realized that he had still underestimated the heaven-defying nature of the Bone-Regrowing Blood-Merging Pill, completely disrupting his plans.

Since this pill was capable of drawing the Reincarnation Thunder, then the Tribulation Gu could use this opportunity to complete its second evolution.

Long Xuan gritted his teeth. Great fortune comes with great risk. If he wanted to devour a tribulation even stronger than the Life-Destroying Thunder, he had no choice but to stake everything.

At this moment, he finally took out the Great Tribulation Gu. The moment it appeared, its eyes locked onto the sky, fixating greedily on the white thunder serpents slithering in the clouds.

“What is that thing?”

The appearance of the Tribulation Gu instantly drew everyone's attention. As they looked at this strange-looking Gu insect, shock and confusion filled their eyes.

Even Ancestor Burning Heaven and Ancestor Deceitful Heaven were deep in thought…

But there was no time to dwell on it. The moment the Tribulation Gu appeared, the Reincarnation Thunder in the sky seemed provoked. With a deafening rumble, a thick white lightning bolt as thick as a bowl struck downward, smashing directly toward the alchemy furnace.

Under the glow of the lightning, Long Xuan's small face turned pale. He clenched his teeth, suppressing the instinct to flee.

The descending Reincarnation Thunder easily bypassed Phoenix Heaven City's defensive formation, shattering its nine-layered barrier instantly before heading straight for the alchemy furnace on the plaza.

However, a royal capital’s grand protective formation is no trivial matter. Though it failed to stop the Reincarnation Thunder, it significantly weakened its power.

Seizing this moment of reduced strength, the Tribulation Gu rushed forward, transforming into a thunder serpent, colliding head-on with the falling lightning.

“Boom!”

The impact between the Tribulation Gu and the Reincarnation Thunder sent blinding arcs of lightning in all directions, accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion.

Ancestor Burning Heaven and Ancestor Deceitful Heaven felt their eardrums buzz painfully before being sent flying backward. Even the two alchemy furnaces beside them were overturned, and their pill refinement was completely ruined.

The Gu Kings who had been observing from a distance were also thrown to the ground, screaming in pain. Blood oozed from their ears and mouths, their faces twisted in agony.

Some were even pierced through the head by stray lightning, dying instantly.

They had clearly kept a safe distance, yet they were still affected. Their ears felt as if they no longer belonged to them, as though deafened by the overwhelming sound.

Everyone was utterly horrified. Is this the power of heavenly tribulation lightning? This is beyond terrifying!

Realizing the sheer terror of the heavenly tribulation, none dared to stay any longer. Fear gripped their hearts as they fled.

Even Ancestor Burning Heaven and Ancestor Deceitful Heaven, after wiping the blood from the corners of their mouths, exchanged solemn glances before retreating as well.

Even for top-tier powerhouses like them, the Reincarnation Thunder was not something they could endure.

Long Xuan, despite possessing an almost undying body, coughed up blood violently upon the lightning’s descent, suffering serious injuries in an instant.

If even Gu Kings could barely withstand the aftermath, what chance did he, a mere Spiritual Sea-stage Gu cultivator, have?

Fear gripped Long Xuan’s heart. He immediately abandoned his clones to guard the furnace and activated a Hundred-Mile Talisman to escape without hesitation.

As for why he didn't use his Sou Gu Hut, it was because it could not teleport instantly. Moreover, Ancestor Burning Heaven had been eyeing his Heavenly Fire, keeping his soul locked onto Long Xuan. He feared that if he took out the Sou Gu Hut, Ancestor Burning Heaven would intervene and prevent his escape.

Fleeing immediately after refining the pill had always been his plan. Given Ancestor Burning Heaven’s presence, even if he could withstand the tribulation lightning, he had to escape using the Hundred-Mile Talisman.

“Hmph! Lucky brat, you ran fast!”

Seeing Long Xuan’s true body suddenly vanish, Ancestor Burning Heaven frowned. Closing his eyes, he spread his soul sense across a vast area, but he could not find any trace of him. Only then did he open his eyes again.

But the tribulation was not over yet!

After the Tribulation Gu successfully absorbed the first strike of the Reincarnation Thunder, the second lightning bolt descended from the sky—even thicker than before!

The Tribulation Gu showed an excited expression and rushed forward once more. This time, it was sent flying by the impact, smashing through countless buildings, leaving it weakened.

However, the hardest part of any trial is the beginning.

Because the first wave of the Reincarnation Thunder had been weakened by the city’s protective formation, the Tribulation Gu managed to successfully devour it. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Being naturally resistant to tribulation lightning, it had now gained even higher resistance after consuming the Reincarnation Thunder.

Though the heavenly tribulation was growing stronger, the Tribulation Gu was evolving just as quickly.

As the third bolt of Reincarnation Thunder descended, it was even more massive than the previous two.

Yet, as the tribulation strengthened, so did the Tribulation Gu.

After successfully devouring the second bolt, the Tribulation Gu grew even more powerful. Blocking the third bolt was now a trivial matter.

When the Tribulation Gu collided with the lightning once again, the entire earth trembled.

Two titanic lightning forces clashed, sending shockwaves across the land. Entire buildings were obliterated, razed to dust by the sheer force.

Anything touched by the Reincarnation Thunder was instantly reduced to powder—no matter how sturdy it was.

The central plaza of Phoenix Heaven City had long ceased to exist. The grand stage nearby was riddled with holes, and surrounding buildings had collapsed en masse.

The city center now resembled a scene of apocalypse.

Everyone who witnessed this was stunned beyond belief.

“What… what is that thing?!”

Even Gu Kings could not withstand the Reincarnation Thunder, yet this creature had endured three consecutive bolts!

For the first time, Ancestor Burning Heaven lost his composure and exclaimed in shock.

Ancestor Deceitful Heaven narrowed his eyes at the Tribulation Gu, watching as it continued clashing with the lightning yet remained unscathed.

His heart was filled with immense shock.

He knew how terrifying tribulation lightning was. Yet this Gu could ignore its power, even absorb and control it. This was unprecedented.

“A Gu that can manipulate tribulation lightning… I have never heard of such a thing, nor have I ever seen it recorded in any ancient texts.”

“Truly terrifying… a Gu that can control tribulation lightning!”

“Its potential rivals that of any known peak-grade Gu, perhaps even equaling the Ten Great Forbidden Gu.”

“No… tribulation lightning is the bane of demonic Gu insects. This Gu is the perfect counter to the Ten Great Forbidden Gu!”

“If this brat is allowed to grow, he will become a nightmare for anyone who refines Forbidden Gu!”

A grave expression surfaced on Ancestor Deceitful Heaven’s face.
