Chapter 653: 0654 Thunder Baptism! (Second Update)

Boom, boom, boom...

Being struck by lightning was a first for Jin Shanshun. As the lightning continued its relentless pursuit, striking around him, he realized there was a problem.

This lightning was definitely targeting them!

"Ye Qiu... please wake up..." Jin Shanshun anxiously called out to Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu’s eyes remained tightly shut.

Jin Shanshun stared at Ye Qiu, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the lightning was targeting Ye Qiu, not him, Jin Shanshun.

Whoosh!

Ye Qiu opened his eyes, which still flickered with the ripples of lightning, and said to Jin Shanshun, "Put me down, the lightning will only strike me, not you!"

"This..." Jin Shanshun hesitated for a moment, but just before another bolt of lightning struck above his head, he decided to heed Ye Qiu’s words and quickly retreated.

Thunder rumbled!

In Jin Shanshun’s eyes, he saw dozens of lightning bolts descend from the sky, all striking Ye Qiu one after another.

With so much lightning striking down, Jin Shanshun even began to question life itself, a term inevitably popping into his mind: transcending the Heavenly Tribulation to become an Immortal?

"Can it be, could Ye Qiu be an Immortal?" Jin Shanshun’s imagination ran wild, guessing wildly.

As for Ye Qiu, bathed in the midst of the lightning, initially, the pain from the strikes was unbearable, but after several more bolts struck down, he gradually began to adapt.

Each bolt of lightning was a baptism for Ye Qiu.

Although a strike weakened his energy considerably, his physical functions were rapidly improving, and the speed of this improvement was terrifying to him.

Every cell absorbed the power of lightning, making itself more perfect. The strengthened cells, like sparkling, clear cherries, gathered together and formed a powerful cellular wall within his body, containing astonishing power, lying dormant within his body. Once the power was activated, the immense strength within the cells would release, unleashing the enhanced potency.

Ye Qiu’s body was glowing, a sight invisible from the outside, but Ye Qiu could clearly sense the internal changes.

He felt as if his internal organs, after being cleansed by the lightning, had all turned transparent, as if they were no longer flesh and blood, but a kind of hard material.

Boom, boom...

The lightning did not stop; Ye Qiu’s eyebrows relaxed from a frown, and his body no longer resisted the falling bolts, instead, he began to extend his arms, welcoming the heavenly lightning.

Jin Shanshun had become numb to the sight; since the beginning, the count of lightning bolts striking down was no fewer than forty or fifty.

So many lightning bolts striking one person, it was miraculous that Ye Qiu hadn’t been cooked by them, yet unexpectedly, Ye Qiu assumed a posture welcoming the lightning.

After a long while, the dark clouds finally dispersed, and Jin Shanshun dared to approach Ye Qiu cautiously, watching the sky to avoid being struck by lightning himself.

"Ye Qiu, are you alright!" Just as Jin Shanshun patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder, he felt an intensely tingling sensation; the aftermath of the lightning shocked him, causing Jin Shanshun to immediately jump away.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was still closing his eyes. After a long while, he slowly got up, and as he shook his body, a lot of impurities fell from him. The lightning had refined his body, expelling the very last impurities.

Ye Qiu’s skin had become crystal clear and pure white, just like a woman’s skin, and even many women did not have skin as fine as his.

It was like a baby’s skin, moist and jade-like, which made Jin Shanshun reveal a strange look of admiration, his eyes rolling curiously.

Ye Qiu did not pay attention to Jin Shanshun. Instead, he was feeling himself after the baptism of lightning. He felt very energetic, almost as if he had inexhaustible strength, especially since his body had become even more terrifying than before. Ye Qiu even felt that, at that moment, even if swords and blades fell on him, they would not hurt him.

"My physique right now, it must be no less than that of a Vajra Body." Ye Qiu murmured. Before, Mr. Mo had mentioned that merging the protective True Qi into the body could cultivate a Vajra Body. However, after experiencing this Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Qiu felt there was no need to do so, as merely his body’s innate defensive power was already frighteningly formidable.

He casually scraped his arm and didn’t even leave a mark. Ye Qiu had roughly assessed his own defensive power.

This was not the greatest gain. What truly surprised Ye Qiu was that he had acquired the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique, and it took him less than half a day to master the first tribulation; otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted the lightning.

This was just one of Ye Qiu’s Heavenly Tribulations practices. The Heavenly Tribulation was relatively weak this time, and given Ye Qiu’s own physically strong condition and the fact that he was at a legendary level, overcoming the first Heavenly Tribulation was not difficult for him.

But as his Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique continued to replenish and perfect, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would grow stronger.

Ye Qiu was not considering that far yet, as he had only just received one Stele Engraving, with eleven more whose whereabouts are unknown.

However, the power of the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique was extremely strong. Ye Qiu felt that if he were in a dark state, activating the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique, his strength would be extraordinarily terrifying.

"This really could be a powerful trump card!" Ye Qiu’s eyes shone subtly. With an additional powerful Cultivation Technique, his methods in combat would no longer be single-faceted in the future. Even if he did not use the Flood Dragon Devil Fist to avoid exposing his identity, he could still employ the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique against enemies.

Together with his previous comprehension of the principles of Tai Chi, along with the Eagle Snake Xuan Hand, The Realm of Illusions Eyes, and other powerful moves, Ye Qiu’s martial arts foundation was gradually starting to show.

His techniques could compare favorably even with the prodigies of the three ancient clans.

"Brother Ye, don’t tell me that lightning was caused by you?" At this moment, Jin Shanshun interrupted Ye Qiu’s thoughts and walked slowly over.

Ye Qiu found it hard to explain the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique and did not deny it, saying, "Strictly speaking, it indeed started because of me."

Jin Shanshun really did not know what to say. The fact that Brother Ye could even call forth lightning was genuinely beyond imagination.

"As long as you are alright, let’s continue on our way. If we delay further, I think we’re really going to leave our chance to others!" Jin Shanshun suddenly said, shifting his gaze.

Ye Qiu nodded, with a thought, the giant statue at their rear came running over with large strides. The two men jumped onto it and continued onwards.

"Brother Ye, you haven’t done anything outrageous, have you?" Jin Shanshun asked with a smile.

"Of course not!" Ye Qiu said firmly.

"Then this lightning... what’s going on? Brother Ye, even if you tell me, I won’t laugh at you," Jin Shanshun said sternly.

Ye Qiu was embarrassed, too lazy to explain, and said, "Don’t speculate wildly," and said no more.

But in the next moment, another bolt of lightning struck down, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.

"Brother Ye, you must have done something bad!" Jin Shanshun thought firmly to himself.

Ye Qiu’s forehead throbbed with annoyance. Really, it was too hard to explain!
