Chapter 1229 - Thunder Gods Spear
The moment the thunder tribulation appeared, shock spread across the faces of all four elders, Elder Long included.
"That's impossible! How could a weapon at the Transcendent Realm possibly draw a thunder tribulation?" The elders exchanged bewildered looks. The elder on the right even clutched his head, unable to accept the scene before his eyes.
In contrast, Elder Long's hands trembled with excitement as though he had discovered a priceless treasure. His eyes gleamed brighter and brighter. He knew he had made the right choice to come today. If not for the aura of the Heavenly Dragon Seal drawing him here, he might have missed this spectacular scene, the emergence of a true blacksmithing prodigy.
......
The Heretic Blade absorbed the first thunderbolt as it crashed down. Over the years, the weapon had already endured countless tribulations, and this strike only tempered it further. The blade's aura surged as Transcendent Realm laws began to manifest, spreading like ripples through its core.
When the first strand of law appeared, the blade officially stepped into the Transcendent Realm. Cracks along its surface sealed, its density and resilience increasing with each breath. More astonishingly, strange snowflake patterns appeared across its body. At first glance, they looked like frost crystals, but upon closer inspection, they were runes —mystical runes spreading through the weapon's frame.
A cold glint radiated from the Heretic Blade. The surrounding flowers, grass, and trees disintegrated into dust beneath its blade aura. However, the weapon's power continued to escalate as an even darker thundercloud formed overhead. Only if the Heretic Blade survived this tribulation would the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain acknowledge it. If it succeeded, it would never face thunder tribulation again.
Liu Wuxie pressed forward without fear. He continued to form seals, welcoming the fiercer tribulation that was to come. He planned to use this moment to complete one last transformation. Having reached the limit of the Divine Thunder Physique, he could only push it further by absorbing heaven and earth's divine thunder. The lingering energy of the Dragon Flame Fruit within his body also made this the perfect time to refine it.
......
The thunderclouds thickened above, heavy and oppressive. Even though the elders watched only through the crystal wall, their expressions grew grave.
"Elder Long, a tribulation of this level could destroy both him and the artifact," the three elders behind him said, all turning to look at him. They feared that if such a prodigy perished here, the Heavenly Dragon Sect would suffer a loss beyond measure.
"He's not that fragile," Elder Long replied with a faint smile.
