Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 796: Divine Artifacts (Part 3)

The Sect Leader Qing and the others could only judge Amalia’s progress by observing these thunderclouds.

Judging by the thickness of the clouds, the process seemed to be going smoothly, but the next phase would be the most critical.

"Why do I get the feeling that these thunderbolts are in a hurry?" Bomen Huaguo muttered.

"You must be mistaken. Thunderbolts aren’t like humans or devils; they can’t be in a hurry," said Fengzhu Huayao.

Mengyao Hualin hummed thoughtfully, "I agree with Bomen Huaguo. Normally, with thunderclouds this thick, the bolts should have struck by now. Why are they still gathering?"

"Is it possible that the lightning can’t find its target?" Fengzhu Huayao suggested, causing the air to become noticeably tense.

Bomen Huaguo broke the silence, "So, these lightning strikes still can’t get through?"

"Considering that the barrier was personally set up by Senior Tian Wuya, it’s likely that even these powerful lightning bolts can’t break through."

After what seemed like an eternity, the brewing lightning finally lost patience.

A massive bolt, as thick as a barrel, shot down from the dark clouds, aiming straight for the small house beneath the barrier.

Ripples spread through the air like bubbles, violently shaking the surroundings before quickly returning to calm.

"Whoa, the first bolt was that huge?" The onlookers were shocked by the sight of the barrel-sized lightning bolt.

"For a divine artifact to be born, it must endure nine sets of lightning strikes. If the first one is this powerful, then the next ones will be..."

Before the speaker could finish, the massive bolt disappeared as soon as it hit the barrier, leaving almost no trace.

"...That’s it?"

"Where’s the legendary lightning that’s supposed to turn everything to ash?"

As everyone continued to murmur in disbelief, the stubborn clouds released another, even larger bolt of lightning.

It was even more powerful than the first—this was supposed to be the moment to showcase its might.

However, as soon as it touched the barrier of Nameless Peak, it met the same fate as the previous bolt.

"It fizzled out just as it was getting started..." one disciple remarked in frustration.

"Yeah, I thought this time the lightning would at least save some face."

"The fastest face-slap in history?" someone joked.

"Heh, did that take even a second?"

"Whoa, was that instant?"

A group of male disciples burst into knowing, mischievous laughter.

The female disciples looked disgusted and quickly distanced themselves from the boys.

Why did men always have to turn things so crude?

It was a serious thunder tribulation, yet they had to ruin it with their dirty minds.

The thunder tribulation lightning was clearly blue, not yellow, they thought indignantly.

Whether the Nameless Peak’s tribulation clouds were angered by the disciples’ comments or frustrated by the barrier blocking them, they finally erupted in fury.

The third bolt of lightning had been brewing for an entire minute.

Everyone was craning their necks, waiting anxiously for it to strike.

Suddenly, a flash of purple light burst from the blue-tinged clouds.

With a deafening crash, a bolt of purple lightning descended, carrying an even more terrifying aura and a sense of impending doom.

"This is bad—it’s purple tribulation lightning!"

The Sect Leader Qing and the other peak masters’ faces instantly paled at the sight of the purple lightning.

The purple tribulation lightning was much more powerful than the usual blue-black kind, only appearing in special cases and very rarely.

No one expected it to suddenly change in the middle of the process.

"Could these tribulation clouds be getting embarrassed and angry?" Bomen Huaguo wondered aloud in surprise.

"I’ve never heard of thunder tribulation getting angry and embarrassed," Fengzhu Huayao replied.

"Well, now you’ve seen it," Bomen Huaguo said.

Fengzhu Huayao: "..."

"Sect Leader, the power of purple tribulation lightning is more than ten times stronger than blue lightning. If Senior Tian Wuya’s barrier is broken, I’m afraid Amalia won’t be able to withstand it," Qixing Huayue said seriously while looking at The Sect Leader Qing.

The Sect Leader Qing frowned.

He had thought it was just a regular divine artifact being born.

However, he never expected the thunder tribulation lightning to level up halfway through.

It felt like the heavens were cheating.

"All we can do now is hope that the tribulation lightning can’t break through Senior Tian Wuya’s barrier. There’s nothing else we can do."

"Hey, what’s that?" A disciple’s voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"It looks like a person!"

"Idiot! Purple tribulation lightning is insanely powerful. There’s no way anyone would dare go up there. If you enter the lightning’s strike zone, it won’t care whether you’re the intended target or not. It’ll strike you down all the same."

"No, no, I’m telling you, it’s really a person!"

A white figure suddenly appeared in front of the lightning, the fierce wind and flashes of electricity whipping around his long robe.

Compared to the massive storm clouds, the figure seemed almost divine, rushing straight toward the purple lightning.

"He’s up there!" The Sect Leader Qing’s expression changed as he recognized the white figure.

"This is madness! That’s purple tribulation lightning, not some child’s play. He’s only in the Nascent Soul stage, and he’s charging right into it!" Qixing Huayue’s eyes bulged in shock.

"This is serious trouble. Our Master Lian isn’t here, and if something happens to his disciple, we’ll be the one who take the blame," Mengyao Hualin said gravely.

Bomen Huaguo added his unique perspective, "Isn’t the real surprise is that this little guy is at the Nascent Soul stage? I remember him being just at the Foundation Building stage two or three months ago."

Everyone fell silent.

"This isn’t the time to focus on that," The Sect Leader Qing said, his face tense, "He’s probably trying to help Amalia block the purple tribulation lightning. We must stop him."

The group exchanged uneasy glances.

Bomen Huaguo said, "We could go up there, but are we sure we won’t get fried to a crisp?"
