The moonlight was obscured by layers of dark clouds, and the sky, which had been calm for a moment, was once again filled with the roar of thunder.
Lightning rolled across the sky, illuminating half the heavens as if it were daytime. As Luo Mang and Yin Huan flew away from the bustling city and reached the top of a small hill outside Penang, the long-awaited lightning struck down with a deafening roar.
Luo Mang raised his head high, extended his forked tongue, and tightly wrapped it around the petite body of the silver ring. Then he focused his mind to meet the approaching tribulation lightning.
This is his tribulation of lightning, which he cannot avoid. Only by overcoming this tribulation can he achieve the form of a dragon.
"Snap—"
As lightning struck, Luo Mang tensed up, suppressing the pain in his body. Before he could catch his breath, the force of the lightning bolt sent him crashing to the ground.
As soon as he landed, he spat out the silver ring.
"Silver Ring, I'm undergoing tribulation, leave quickly."
Luo Mang hurriedly gave instructions, seized the brief opening as the lightning tribulation prepared, and suddenly darted away, far from where the silver ring was.
The lightning tribulation was extremely powerful; the closer the silver ring was, the more dangerous it was.
Yin Huan felt dizzy and was stunned for two minutes before she understood what Luo Mang meant.
Seeing her elder brother disappear into the night, Silver Ring suddenly became agitated. Without saying a word, she flicked her tail and darted into the bushes.
She said that the thunder tonight was so scary, because it turned out that her older brother's tribulation had arrived.
Oh no, she seems to have gotten herself into trouble.
Just a few days ago, Huo Fei explained to her that the lightning tribulation is a life-or-death ordeal for demons, and no one is allowed to interfere... If there are outsiders under the lightning tribulation, its power will double.
According to Huo Fei, undergoing tribulation is an extremely dangerous thing for demons. More than 80% of their demon race are eventually destroyed by lightning tribulations. But once they pass through it, their strength will soar like a celestial being brushing their head.
Silver Ring ran into the bushes, found a place she felt safe, looked up, and stared fearfully at the sky above.
She prayed silently.
I pray that Luo Mang can safely overcome this calamity.
Yin Huan dared not look away. As she watched, she wondered: "My elder brother has already cultivated into human form, so why is he still undergoing a tribulation of lightning?"
As if she had just thought of something, Yin Huan's eyes suddenly widened, the worry in them instantly vanished, and her eyes rolled with wild joy.
Big brother is amazing, he's about to transform into a dragon.
...Silver Ring, a step behind, finally remembered the evolutionary process of the snake race.
She stared intently at the sky with her bright, lively eyes, not missing a single change. Watching the enormous serpentine body fearlessly soar into the sky to meet the lightning tribulation, Silver Ring felt a strange sense of pride.
Luo Mang dropped the silver ring, shielded his mind from distractions, and focused on resisting the lightning tribulation.
The demon race faces nine tribulations of lightning. Only those demons who have survived the tribulation of transformation know that the power of each tribulation is more terrifying than the last.
The first and second lightning tribulations were resisted by the prison's array and Huo Fei. The third lightning tribulation seemed powerful, but for some reason, it didn't cause much damage when it struck him. Luo Mang was puzzled, but dared not relax his guard in the slightest.
The fourth lightning tribulation was successfully prepared and suddenly descended while Luo Mang was fully on guard.
Luo Mang's eyes narrowed, and he raised the snake's head and stepped forward.
The fourth lightning bolt was clearly more powerful than the third. As soon as it struck Luo Mang, a cloud of white smoke billowed from its head. The massive top of its head was charred black by the lightning.
Luo Mang hissed, gritted his teeth, and immediately channeled his demonic energy into his demon core to heal his injuries.
As time slowly moved forward, starting from the fifth lightning tribulation, the churning tribulation clouds in the sky became increasingly turbulent, and the time it took for the lightning tribulation to brew also became longer and longer.
As dawn broke, heavy clouds pressed down, making it seem as if the sky and the earth were connected, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Under the might of Heaven, all are but ants.
The rain poured down, and the small hill where the tribulation was being conducted was charred black from being struck by lightning.
Boulders tumbled, trees felled, and the entire mountain was ravaged by the thunder, leaving it devastated, as if the end of the world had arrived. A night passed, and people from all sides, each with their own agendas, had almost all arrived at the scene.
This world has been completely isolated under the influence of certain individuals with ulterior motives. Except for cultivators with cultivation levels, all ordinary people have been driven away.
The document from above stated that there would be a heavy rainstorm today, and there was a possibility of flash floods, so the "government" evacuated the nearby villagers overnight.
This unprecedented scene of change had long since awakened the people from their sleep. Without much persuasion from the 'government,' they all packed up their belongings and left the place.
The sky cleared, and the final bolt of lightning had been churning behind the clouds for nearly two hours, yet it still hadn't struck. This gave Luo Mang a brief respite, but it also made him even more cautious.
Never before in history has a demon's tribulation lightning taken so long to prepare. Given this situation, everyone present knew that the upcoming tribulation lightning would be terrifying.
At this point, the group of people who had been watching from the periphery of the hill were no longer in a hurry. Because, in their understanding, the snake undergoing its tribulation would surely not be able to withstand the final lightning strike.
That big guy is doomed.
The demon race already has Huo Fei; if another dragon were to emerge, the demon race would likely swell immediately. At that point, some demons might seize the opportunity to rise up and wreak havoc on the human world.
Therefore, none of them wanted this guy to succeed in transcending the tribulation.
——
Some onlookers were happy, some were sad. Among them, Little Silver Ring, hiding in the tree hole, was the most uneasy.
At this moment, she had snapped out of her euphoria over her elder brother's transformation from a snake to a dragon. Now, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in circles. She had absolutely no idea what to do.
