Chapter 665: Starting to Go Through Thunder Tribulations

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao did not believe the story Child-endowing Buddha had just told him. Study room attendant of the Thunder Emperor? When had the Thunder Emperor ever needed an attendant? He didn’t really need one, right?

However, even though he did not tell them the complete story or the true story, he did find a way for Zhou Bao to safely undergo the Void Thunder Tribulation.

Staring at the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation in front of him, Zhou Bao suddenly looked up and said, “Better early than late. No need to wait to schedule a date, today is the best time. Now that I’ve got the formation map, it won’t be too hard to set up the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation. Let’s get going!”

Wang She exchanged a look with Child-endowing Buddha. Then, they both nodded and replied, “Fine. As the saying goes, a long delay may give rise to more trouble. When you and your Supreme Fairy Weapon survive the Thunder Tribulation, we can swagger our way back to the Heaven Realm without having to fear anything!”

“You’re right. Once I get through the Void Thunder Tribulation, we will truly have nothing to fear!” Zhou Bao cast a cool look at Child-endowing Buddha. “Humph, Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation. But don’t forget, I also have the Yin and Yang Dust Formation!” As he spoke, Zhou Bao lifted his hands, and 49 cyan flags shot out from his sleeves, zooming around him.

These 49 formation flags were not the same as those that Zhou Bao had used in the Sea Area. These flags were produced after Zhou Bao overcame great difficulties during his 300 years of closed-door training in the Azure Heaven. To make these flags, Zhou Bao had gathered every kind of the highest-graded resources in the Azure Big World. The materials used in refining these 49 flags was ample enough to refine a fairy weapon. It was just that Zhou Bao’s strength had not reached the phase whereby he could refine fairy weapons, so this time there was no fairy weapon being produced. However, he had refined all these 49 flags into Pure Yang Celestial Devices and soaked them in Pure Yang Water. Thus, every flag was a highest-graded Pure Yang Celestial Device. When Zhou Bao cast any one of them out, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation would appear in a stretch.

The fame of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation was definitely not inferior to that of the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation. In fact, the rarity of the former considerably exceeded the latter.

To enhance his strength to its present degree, Zhou Bao had exerted great effort in working on the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. The Yin and Yang Dust Formation made up of the 49 flags had achieved the basic level. Even though it had not reached the terrifying level where it was able to let life and death end in bubbles and make the Yin and Yang World return to dust yet, it had no problems trapping all the living creatures in the Heaven Realm Macro World.

If not for the fact that this Yin and Yang Dust Formation was not a pure defensive formation, Zhou Bao would certainly grit his teeth and work harder on the 49 flags so as to utilize the formation to go safely through seven or eight Thunder Tribulations.

“Life and death ending in bubbles, the Yin and Yang World all return to dust!” Watching the 49 flags shoot out and land on the vast planet which sat on the farthest periphery of this galaxy, Child-endowing Buddha’s eyes brightened. He immediately grasped what Zhou Bao was thinking.

“Good, good idea. What a profound idea you have! Now, it’s not impossible for you to undergo eight Thunder Tribulations at one go!”

“Whether it will work depends on my luck!” Zhou Bao said faintly. Indeed, it depended on luck, and also on whatever secret agenda Child-endowing Buddha was contemplating.

It was a known fact that going through the Thunder Tribulation was the utmost priority for every practitioner. Accordingly, those who were going to assist him must be trustworthy guys. If so, the practitioner would really have nothing to worry about when undergoing the Thunder Tribulation. But now, between the two men standing before Zhou Bao, Wang She was the one Zhou Bao trusted completely, while Child-endowing Buddha was not so reliable. This dude knew most of Zhou Bao’s secrets, and his background was also highly suspicious. Even though for most of the time, he had provided Zhou Bao with a lot of help, it was still impossible for Zhou Bao to trust him unconditionally.

“Boy, I know you don’t trust me. And I admit that I have hidden the truth from you in terms of many things. But that’s also my prerogative, right? I have no obligation to let you know my innermost secrets. Everyone is just trying to acquire what they need through cooperation. Now, it’s still a long way for us to go against each other, thus, I won’t trick you!” Child-endowing Buddha had detected Zhou Bao’s concerns, so he explained to Zhou Bao without beating around the bush, “If you still have some misgivings, it’s fine. I can take a Great Vow of the Heart Demon and guarantee you that I don’t have any other agenda during your Thunder Tribulation this time and the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation I gave you is the authentic one. But in return, you shall make a commitment to me as well, promising that you’ll go all out to help me in the future as long as your own interests are not jeopardized!”

“Help you do what?” Zhou Bao asked suspiciously.

“This is not the right time. I’ll tell you after you are done with your Thunder Tribulations!” Child-endowing Buddha shook his head, beaming. “It won’t do you any good if you know it right now!”

“Humph, how mysterious you are!” Zhou Bao snorted in discontent, but he stopped asking questions. Now that Child-endowing Buddha had been so upfront and having made the Great Vow of the Heart Demon, Zhou Bao also threw his cautions to the wind. Then, he waved his hand, and the climate on that vast planet instantly changed; it was now covered in a layer of thin fog—the Yin and Yang Dust Formation had been turned on.

“According to the formation map of the Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation, it can be set up by the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and 18 Thunder Gods. Thus, I won’t bother you two to help me out now. You just wait outside and stay as far away as possible. As you said, the Thunder Tribulation I’m going through will not be a normal one!”

“Yes, it’s not the usual type!” Child-endowing Buddha’s mouth twitched; he pulled Wang She by the hand and said, “Let’s withdraw, leave this small Star Area!”

“It can’t be that drastic, right?” Wang She was taken aback at this. A moment ago, he thought his own Void Thunder Tribulation was already powerful, but even so, he did not blast the vast planet where he was located into nothing. But now, they were going to leave this Star Area? How could the consequence be so serious?

“You’ll know it when you witness it!” Child-endowing Buddha, still holding hands with Wang She, gave a good jerk, and the two vanished from the Star Area.

“Now, it’s my turn!” With no one around, Zhou Bao took a deep breath, and then leaped onto the vast planet in a flash and disappeared into the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

“Boom!”

Just several seconds after Zhou Bao entered the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the whole Star Area suddenly shuddered as a blast of thunder was heard.

The two who had just appeared outside the Star Area were startled by this.

“What the hell?” Wang She asked in shock. But soon, his shock escalated to terror, because an overwhelming spirit that felt as if it could crumble the world suddenly enveloped the entire Star Area.

“Crap, we didn’t retreat far enough!” Child-endowing Buddha bellowed. He gave another jerk at Wang She’s sleeve and the two disappeared again.

A few seconds after they disappeared, a tremendous hollow magic formation emerged over the galaxy.

In the hollow, theoretically, there was no concept of directions, be it right and left, or up and down. But it was natural to use those concepts based on everyone’s own position. After all, human beings were self-centered creatures. That was nothing new.

After withdrawing to a distance the length of another galaxy, Child-endowing Buddha and Wang She finally came to a halt. They stared in the direction of the galaxy where Zhou Bao had been with their mouths wide open, temporarily losing the ability to speak. Compared to the Void Thunder Tribulation they had just gone through, this time the magic formation that appeared when Zhou Bao was doing his Thunder Tribulation was several times larger and it covered the entire galaxy. In terms of size, this formation was not only several hundred times but certainly multiple thousand times larger.

“Tell me, are you sure your Innumerable Thunderbolts Formation or whatsoever will work?”

“I don’t know!”

“Then why were you so confident just now?”

“How could I know it would be so terrifying when the Supreme Fairy Weapon was going through the Thunder Tribulation? Even in antiquity times, no such thing has ever happened. I did my deduction based on the magnitude of our Thunder Tribulation, but who knew his Thunder Tribulation could be so enormous!” Child-endowing Buddha muttered, his face going a bit pale. “But relax, that boy is not an idiot. Even if he cannot go through seven or eight Thunder Tribulations like we did, at least he could survive one or two. After that, his combat capability will more or less be raised to the Immortal phase, won’t it?”

Wang She did not speak but just fixed his eyes absent-mindedly on the magic formation that appeared in the hollow, in which stood an ancient huge gate.

When the two did their Thunder Tribulation, the black hole in the magic formation only revealed a shadow of a huge gate. But now, the gate that appeared in this galaxy was a completely substantialized gate, quite real and tangible. This gate was much powerful than theirs and every detail of the ancient patterns inscribed on it was clearly visible.

“Er…Puff!”

All of a sudden, Wang She’s face went dreadfully pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He then staggered about.

“You idiot! Don’t look at that gate. That’s the projection of the Gate of Origin. Every pattern inscribed on it represents a complete Dharma of Immortal practice. Seeing too many of them will make you confused, and your spirit might be overwhelmed and will shatter!”

“Why didn’t you tell me before!” Wang She yelled angrily. He shifted his focus and started to regulate his breathing to repair his damaged spirit.

“Boom!” Just when this old Gate of Origin appeared, black pneuma surged up like seawater, poured from the gate into the magic formation, then cascaded onto the vast planet.

“Original Essential Qi? No way! This first Thunder Tribulation hasn’t appeared yet, but there’s already so much Original Essential Qi!” At the sight of the raging Original Essential Qi rushing through the Gate of Origin, Wang She forgot himself once more.

The Original Essential Qi had not been to transmitted to Wang She until his sixth or seventh Thunder Tribulation. But unlike him, during Zhou Bao’s first Thunder Tribulation, there was already so much Original Essential Qi which surged and spilled forth, instantly engulfing the entire planet.

“How could there be such a wonderful thing in the world? Seems that this time Zhou Bao is really in deep trouble!” Child-endowing Buddha exclaimed, when he saw the Original Essential Qi as well as the great destructive spirit pouring forth along with it.

Destruction and creation were the true essence of the power of thunderbolts. No matter if it was during primitive times, antiquity times, or the present world, the main power of thunderbolts demonstrated was still destructive. As for creation, well, who would bother about that?

When the first thunderbolt flashed, both Wang She and Child-endowing Buddha’s hearts jumped to their throats. Sure enough, the thunderbolt that descended along with the Original Essential Qi was not the normal one, but the Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder.

The golden thunderbolt shot through the magic formation and struck the fog-surrounded vast planet directly. Instantly, the fog started raging, and the entire galaxy seemed to be on the verge of collapse in the light of this golden thunderbolt.
