Another half hour passed, and the once clear sky suddenly turned dark.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered and a strong wind rose.

Wang Zheng sensed the chaotic spiritual energy between heaven and earth, knowing that the moment everyone had been waiting for was finally about to arrive!

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, and a silver streak instantly ripped through the sky.

That oppressive feeling was felt even by ordinary people in the southern part of the city.

The thunderclap, like a muffled explosion, instantly spread the fear in the hearts of the masses, causing them to involuntarily look up at the area shrouded in dark clouds, the thickest part of the cloud layer.

Sensing the unusual changes, students at Nanjing University and those temporarily residing nearby couldn't help but speculate.

No one knew what kind of trouble they had gotten themselves into this time, and everyone's expressions became flustered.

Under such overwhelming divine might, as if sensing the weight of those around it, the enormous locust tree began to sprout tender buds, and the fist-sized flower buds bloomed in a burst of golden light.

The pure white locust blossoms exude a faint, delicate fragrance. As the petals unfurl, each bud slowly and resolutely opens. At the center of the flower, tiny, translucent seeds, about the size of a thumb, dance in the wind, as if spreading the fragrance throughout the entire southern part of Beijing…

Seeing that the current commotion seemed to have gone too far, Chu Tianxing, as the nominal president of Nanjing University, naturally had to come out and appease people.

Moreover, as a master of lightning, he was naturally the perfect candidate.

"If you happen to gain something, it's because Heaven is on your side. There's no need to panic. Just watch with peace of mind..."

A rumbling thunderous sound came from the horizon, and Chu Tianxing's enormous Dharma image appeared above Nanjing University. He casually used the excuse of his own breakthrough to avoid causing unnecessary commotion.

After all, it would be difficult to explain to outsiders if it were true that a strange beast was undergoing tribulation on the Nanjing University campus.

As the most famous lightning-type master in Jingnan, Chu Tianxing's statement is plausible. As for who infected him with this rough and ready-made-up ability, that goes without saying.

Although Old Chu took the initiative to assume the responsibility, he did not dare to let his Dharma form get too close to the clouds and quickly withdrew it.

Firstly, I was worried about affecting the precious fruit tree's tribulation, and secondly, I was genuinely afraid of getting myself into trouble.

Seeing that there were indeed no other changes, the originally panicked crowd gradually calmed down in the fragrance, quietly observing the thunderclouds whose unparalleled divine power could be clearly felt, wondering what kind of strength Principal Chu possessed to be able to cause such a commotion that severed the connection between heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

Before Chu Tianxing's rolling thunder had completely dissipated, another earth-shattering thunderclap ripped through the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down in an instant, engulfing the entire locust tree.

With a sharp crack, accompanied by a pungent, burnt smell, the bolt of lightning struck the protective barrier of the large locust tree and landed on the ground, instantly carving a trench hundreds of meters long and nearly ten meters wide, a truly shocking sight.

Within the pit on the ground, electric arcs crackled and popped, and the silica in the soil was melted by the high temperature into a deep red, sticky substance, steaming like magma.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Zheng frowned.

"The power of this thundercloud has reached its peak. The time is ripe. If we don't show ourselves now, when will we? If you dare to damage my herb field, I'll chop you up and burn you for firewood!"

Looking at the increasingly dense black clouds above his head, Young Master Wang roared angrily, startling the little tree-man hiding underground.

It seems that in the heart of this Golden Sun Fruit Tree, even the near-death lightning tribulation is no match for the intimidation posed by Young Master Wang.

As everyone stared at the strange looks, the big locust tree began to shake violently. Then, countless huge roots broke through the soil, and with a violent tremor, the golden roots suddenly rose from the ground, stretching and climbing, and in no time they were even further away from the medicinal field.

Hmm... the main point is that she's well-behaved and sensible!

After the large locust tree left, the small tree-man, whose entire body was golden yellow, slowly rose from the ground.

It sat cross-legged, mimicking human meditation, and hovered in mid-air. Above it, at least a dozen spiritual fruits emitted an enticing fragrance from the dense canopy.

Judging from its appearance, this Golden Sun Fruit is at least several levels higher than the first batches picked earlier!

However, at this moment, everyone's attention was clearly not on the Golden Sun Fruit.

Now that the main body that needs to take human form needs to appear, the thunderclouds in the sky above became even more violent.

The thunder roared through the sky, and amidst the flashes of lightning, the temperature of the entire space seemed to rise several degrees in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, countless bolts of lightning struck down, causing the tree-man to tremble violently.

Seeing this, Young Master Wang was also amazed.

"Back then, the protective barrier in the Yellow Sea Ruins weakened the lightning tribulation by so much? Does that mean that sending the alien beast to the ruins to undergo tribulation will increase the success rate?"

But that doesn't make sense either. If the transformation tribulation is this dangerous, how could so many demon kings be able to successfully overcome it?

It seems most likely that Xiao Jin's situation is special. If all demon kings had such power when undergoing tribulation, the number of demon kings in the world could probably be counted on one hand..."

Young Master Wang set up a protective barrier for everyone, completely ignoring the falling lightning.

The golden sun fruit tree knew this was its destiny, and it couldn't rely on anyone else. If it could successfully overcome this challenge, it would soar to great heights; if it couldn't...

No, it's impossible that I can't get past this hurdle!

Under the seemingly endless lightning, the golden light protecting the sapling instantly dimmed, and then, after being bombarded by thunderclouds, it fell into the distant dense forest.

Seeing its golden protective shield shattered and dozens of lightning bolts merge into a single golden divine lightning bolt, the Golden Sun Fruit Tree was completely desperate.

The little tree-man swayed its body, and dozens of bright red spiritual fruits fell from its head, transforming into the purest spiritual energy to meet the divine lightning.

In comparison, it's like a firefly under the bright sun, stubbornly defying all odds...

Golden light crackled and flashed in mid-air, lightning and golden rays intertwined, like a grand fireworks display.

But only those awakened who truly understand the meaning behind these thunderclouds know the dangers they hold.

A cold smile suddenly flashed across Wang Dashao's face as he stood in the crowd. He then secretly gave Zhao Yucai a wink, whispered a few words, and disappeared from everyone's sight the next second...
