"Rumble …"
The intense rumbling sound of thunder was like waves of beast roars that reverberated unceasingly across the sky. In the distant horizon, a black mass of dark clouds gradually spread. Although they were far apart, Xiao Yan was still able to sense the frightening aura that was being emitted from within.
Following Xiao Yan's rise into the sky, a few rays of light also instantly flickered from a few other directions within Xi Lin City. In the blink of an eye, they had also stepped into the empty sky along with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily narrowed when he saw these few people. A glint swiftly flashed across his eyes. These people were the few elite Dou Di who were in Xi Lin City.
They paused their bodies. Numerous pairs of sharp eyes instantly focused on the direction where the thunder came from. At the same time, there were various expressions in the eyes of those few people.
The few of them exchanged glances with each other. Finally, their eyes paused for a moment when they looked at Xiao Yan. Immediately, they randomly swept past him. A pair of eyes that were filled with solemnity focused on the distant horizon. This was especially so when they looked at the thunder clouds. Even with the mental fortitude of these few elite Dou Di, they could not help but part their mouths. Even someone as strong as a Dou Di seemed to be able to feel a sense of fear toward that thunder cloud.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He slowly withdrew his gaze. Only then did he look at the thick thunder clouds on the horizon.
"Rumble …"
The sound of thunder roared. Despite being hundreds of thousands of feet away, the sound of thunder seemed to be reverberating beside one's ear, causing one to feel a chill rise within one's heart.
"This … this is Pill Lightning? Why is it so frightening? Don't tell me that this is a rank four Pill Lightning or even a rank five Pill Lightning! "
Xiao Yan's lips and teeth trembled slightly. The soft words that were emitted from his mouth contained a shock. This was the first time that he had seen such a frightening thunder cloud. He did not doubt that if that thunder cloud were to completely erupt, it was likely that he would not be able to block even one attack.
It was also because of this that Xiao Yan's heart was a little uncertain about this cluster of frightening thunder cloud.
"No, this isn't Pill Lightning."
At this moment, Gu You, who had been quiet for a long time within Xiao Yan's body, finally spoke. His voice was filled with a solemn tone. Clearly, even with his character, he did not dare to underestimate this strange thundercloud that had appeared in the distant sky.
"Uh …"
Xiao Yan involuntarily felt startled after sensing the slight emotional fluctuation in Gu You's words. He frowned and looked at the thundercloud. At the same time, he asked Gu You in his heart, which was filled with doubt.
"Old Gu, what exactly is this thundercloud? Why is the energy contained within it so powerful?"
"That's right. It would be strange if this thing didn't make you feel dangerous."
Gu You quickly regained his composure. However, there was a trace of mockery in his tone as he laughed softly at Xiao Yan.
"Old Bone knows about that thing?"
"Hee, not only do I know about it, I have even personally experienced it. However, you can relax. You will have the opportunity to personally experience it in the future!"
Gu You sighed softly. He seemed to have recalled some matters in the past and his heart involuntarily trembled.
"Old Gu, just tell me directly. What exactly is this thundercloud? What do you mean by what you said earlier?"
Xiao Yan's brows, which had just relaxed, were once again tightly knitted together. The doubt in his heart grew when he heard Gu You's vague reply. He curled his mouth and involuntarily continued to question Gu You.
"Hee hee, this is a lightning tribulation."
Gu You laughed softly before slowly opening his mouth. The expression on Xiao Yan's face suddenly stiffened the moment these words were uttered. At the same time, both of his eyes stared intently at the black thundercloud in the distant sky. His heart was in turmoil. The shock he felt was difficult to describe.
Lightning tribulation. Just these two words were enough for Xiao Yan to understand why the thundercloud had appeared and what it was used for.
Any Ban Di would attract a lightning tribulation when they were about to breakthrough to the Dou Di class. That kind of lightning tribulation was so powerful that it could seriously injure an elite Dou Di. It could even kill an elite Dou Di who was in the midst of a breakthrough.
This also explained why there were very few people who could truly breakthrough to the Dou Di class despite there being many Ban Di experts on the continent.
Even though some Ban Di experts had great training talent and could even rely on their own training to reach the Dou Di class, there was often a portion of them who would be stopped by this lightning tribulation regardless of how frightening their talent was.
The Di Tribulation had basically become the shackle that prevented most Ban Di experts from becoming elite Dou Di. In front of the Di Tribulation, regardless of how frightening one's training talent was, one would ultimately be unable to reach the Dou Di class as long as one was unable to endure it!
It was also because of this reason that a portion of the nine star Ban Di were unwilling to breakthrough despite having already reached the limit of breaking through to the Dou Di class. The reason was because of this lightning tribulation.
If one succeeded under the lightning tribulation, one would be free and unfettered. One would become a true elite Dou Di and be respected by others. On the other hand, one would end up in a state of eternal damnation. Not even one's corpse would remain under the lightning tribulation!
Looking at this thundercloud, it was obvious that someone was preparing to breakthrough to the Dou Di class.
"Old Gu, although the Di Tribulation is powerful, can't one find an expert to protect one from the tribulation, just like how one withstands the lightning tribulation?"
Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something. He frowned slightly and once again opened his mouth to ask Gu You. His tone was filled with doubt.
"Stinking brat, aren't you treating the Di Tribulation too lightly? If it was so easy to endure the Di Tribulation, wouldn't everyone on the continent have become an elite Dou Di?"
Gu You involuntarily laughed and scolded Xiao Yan after hearing his words. Gu You felt that Xiao Yan's simple-minded thinking was a little laughable.
However, Gu You recovered his solemn expression soon after. He paused for a moment before opening his mouth to explain to Xiao Yan.
"Unless one is able to forcefully endure the Di Tribulation with one's own strength, any external object is useless in front of it. Of course, the Di Tribulation Pill is an exception. There is no need for the old me to explain the reason. You should understand it yourself."
Being a medicinal pill, the 'Emperor Calamity Pill' was merely a method to raise the strength of one who had made a breakthrough. Although the duration was short, it was able to help an elite Dou Di resist the lightning calamity. This point was completely different from an ordinary external object.
Although they both relied on external objects, the method of swallowing the medicinal pill allowed one's body to become stronger. It was a strength that came from the inside out. It was unlike the former, which completely relied on external forces. It looked impressive on the outside but was weak on the inside.
