Chapter 403: Lightning in the Heavenly Tribulation
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin did not pursue the Titan Giant Ape, completely ruining the Azure Dragon's original plan.
If this continued, the Titan Giant Ape would be in danger. With his strength, there was almost no chance of escaping from Bibi Dong.
"Get out of my way!"
The Azure Dragon roared. He no longer cared about his Heavenly Tribulation. With a flick of his dragon tail, he tried to separate Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin, intending to rush over and support the Titan Giant Ape.
Just that casual tail strike brought Yu Tianlin a sense of danger. He thought to himself that if he wanted to block it, he would have to use some strength.
However, that somewhat dangerous tail strike in Yu Tianlin's eyes was nothing special to Yu Yuanzhen. His right hand instantly transformed into a Dragon Claw and struck back, effortlessly batting it aside.
"You want to save the Titan Giant Ape? You should worry about yourself first."
In Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, Bibi Dong and her group chasing after the Titan Giant Ape was excellent. Otherwise, if Bibi Dong and her companions were still here, he would have a much harder time dealing with the Azure Dragon before him.
Because of this, Yu Yuanzhen naturally could not allow the Azure Dragon to leave and reunite with the Titan Giant Ape. Wouldn't that just make them run into Bibi Dong again?
As Yu Yuanzhen spoke, another silver bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the Azure Dragon.
Because he was close to the Azure Dragon, when this bolt of lightning descended, Yu Tianlin felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart.
"This feeling..."
Yu Tianlin felt that this tremor was somewhat familiar. After briefly searching through his memories, he found a matching scene.
"It's similar to what I felt when I was refining my first Spirit Ring in Thunder Gorge."
"The feeling in Thunder Gorge was because of the Thunder God's Hammer. Then what about this Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation now? Could it also be related to the Thunder God?"
As Yu Tianlin's thoughts raced, this idea suddenly appeared in his mind, leading him to a certain speculation.
One must know that before the Dragon God War, there had been no such thing as Heavenly Tribulation for Spirit Beasts cultivating to become Divine Beasts. Only after the Divine Beasts were defeated in the Dragon God War did the God Realm forbid Spirit Beasts from becoming gods, thus creating the Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation.
But why did the Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation established by the God Realm take the form of lightning punishment?
"Could it be that after the Thunder God fell, the God Realm used the remaining power of the Thunder God to establish this Heavenly Tribulation for Spirit Beasts?"
The more Yu Tianlin thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
While Yu Tianlin was pondering, Yu Yuanzhen exchanged several more blows with the Azure Dragon.
After the Azure Dragon realized that he could not shake off Yu Yuanzhen no matter what, he suddenly stopped attacking and looked directly at Yu Yuanzhen.
"I originally had a great chance of passing the Heavenly Tribulation. But if I fight a strong opponent during this process, my chances of surviving it will become extremely low."
"If you continue to interfere with me, I will die under the Heavenly Tribulation, and my Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone will dissipate with me."
The Azure Dragon's words made Yu Yuanzhen frown.
If he forcibly stopped the Azure Dragon, then the Azure Dragon would die under the Heavenly Tribulation. But if he did not stop him, the Azure Dragon would definitely go save the Titan Giant Ape, and they would run into Bibi Dong and her group again.
Neither situation was good. This caused Yu Yuanzhen's movements to slow slightly, and his offense eased.
"Grandpa, don't mind him."
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was weighing his options, Yu Tianlin's voice suddenly rang out. A pair of dragon wings spread from his back, and he flew directly above the Azure Dragon.
As luck would have it, the third silver bolt of lightning struck down at that very moment, landing directly on Yu Tianlin.
If an ordinary person saw their grandson being struck by lightning, they would probably be startled. But Yu Yuanzhen was different. His grandson had been struck by lightning so many times that he was already used to it.
Not to mention that Yu Tianlin could increase the age of his first Spirit Ring by being struck by lightning. Even without that ability, the power of this lightning bolt would not be enough to kill him.
So Yu Yuanzhen was not worried at all. His expression did not change in the slightest. In fact, he even looked somewhat pleased.
As for the Azure Dragon, his feelings were completely different from Yu Yuanzhen's.
"Why is this human helping me block the Heavenly Tribulation?"
At first, the Azure Dragon was puzzled, but he quickly realized the reason.
"He doesn't want me to die under the Heavenly Tribulation and waste my Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone."
This made the anger in his heart boil completely.
A human helping him block the Heavenly Tribulation was only doing it for his Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone. What did they take him for?
With anger surging through him, the Azure Dragon immediately spat out a blue dragon-shaped bolt of lightning at Yu Tianlin in the air.
However, Yu Yuanzhen was nearby, so he naturally would not let the attack succeed. His right hand, already transformed into a Dragon Claw, moved first. He actually grabbed the blue dragon-shaped lightning and crushed it with a burst of power.
"Hm. Tianlin is helping you block the Heavenly Tribulation. It is one thing not to thank him, but attacking him in return? That is going too far."
"Human! Human! Human!"
The Azure Dragon did not listen to Yu Yuanzhen's words. His eyes had already turned blood-red.
Unable to escape and support the Titan Giant Ape, while the humans in front of him coveted his Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, the Azure Dragon inevitably fell into a berserk state.
Facing the enraged Azure Dragon, Yu Yuanzhen did not confront him head-on. Instead, he kept delaying him, preparing to deal with him after the Heavenly Tribulation ended.
At this moment, high in the sky, after being struck by lightning, Yu Tianlin only felt a burst of comfort.
Regardless of whether this Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation was related to the Thunder God, the lightning descending from the Heavenly Tribulation indeed contained a considerable amount of energy.
With just this one bolt of lightning, Yu Tianlin felt that the age of his first Spirit Ring had increased by around a thousand years.
One must know that ordinary lightning required a hundred strikes to increase the age of his first Spirit Ring by one year, while a single bolt of Heavenly Tribulation lightning increased it by a thousand years.
In other words, one bolt of Heavenly Tribulation lightning was equivalent to one hundred thousand ordinary lightning bolts.
With such immense power, it was no wonder the probability of Spirit Beasts surviving the Heavenly Tribulation was not high.
However, this Heavenly Tribulation, which was practically a death sentence for Spirit Beasts, was a supreme tonic for Yu Tianlin.
Yu Tianlin looked at the dark clouds in the sky with burning eyes.
One bolt of Heavenly Tribulation lightning increased it by this much. Then the question was, how many bolts would the Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation unleash in total?
Before Yu Tianlin could think further, another bolt of lightning struck down.
Similarly, this bolt of lightning did not land on the Azure Dragon. Instead, it was intercepted by Yu Tianlin in mid-air.
After this bolt descended, the clouds in the sky showed no sign of changing, as if the lightning bolt had merely been a drop in the ocean.
Yu Tianlin was not surprised. Instead, he was delighted.
Come on, come on. The more, the better!
I'm not afraid you will come. I'm only afraid you won't have enough!
As if sensing Yu Tianlin's thoughts, the lightning in the sky continued to descend, and the frequency grew faster and faster. Eventually, the bolts connected one after another, leaving no gaps between them.
