The little monkey was born with six ears, so it was destined to be extraordinary!
Yao Yue suspected that he had seen wrongly, but when the little monkey flew out of its demon core, he was certain that the legend was true.
The Six-Eared Macaque was one of the rarest of the Four Great Spiritual Monkeys. It had the ability to pierce through heaven and earth, and was known as the king of monkeys!
It had swallowed many of Yao Yue's herbs and finally activated its cultivation talent. It had also accumulated a lot of power in its body. Now that it had swallowed a small piece of primal stone, its power had reached the point of breaking through.
Yao Yue was overjoyed to see this. If the little monkey could break through, it would be extraordinary. At the very least, it would become a true Greater Demon, comparable to the human race's generals.
This was the difference between the Demonic Emperor's bloodline. They were born with a demon core, and their strength reached the Greater Demon realm much earlier than ordinary demons.
Yao Yue picked up the primal stone on the ground and looked at the little monkey. "This is great. When you become a Greater Demon, you will have the ability to protect yourself. In the future, you will definitely become stronger."
The little monkey naturally had no time to pay attention to Yao Yue. It was fully focused on digesting the primal stone. The demon core on its head was emitting a warm red light.
This red demon core meant that the little monkey was a Demonic Beast that cultivated fire elemental energy.
Just as Yao Yue was about to put away the primal stone, a "pa" sound came from the window. A black shadow rushed in, and the cold sword in its hand was aimed at Yao Yue's vitals.
Yao Yue's attention was completely focused on the primal stone and the little monkey. He did not expect that someone would come to assassinate him.
The cold light flickered, and the incomparably sharp sword went straight for his throat.
This sneak attack was extremely fast, and the timing was perfect. Yao Yue had almost no time to react, and the cold sword was about to pierce his throat and kill him!
"Am I going to die?"
When Yao Yue reacted, his body was cold and his mind was blank. He could only instinctively think of this sentence.
This was the first time he had felt so close to death!
After all, the last time he died, he was knocked unconscious and fell to his death. It was different from this time.
Just as Yao Yue thought that he was going to die, the dark sky suddenly changed and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
Rumble!
The Heavenly Lightning was heading straight for Yao Yue's house, directly striking the little monkey's Demon Core.
However, the Heavenly Lightning was very sensitive to magnetic weapons. It suddenly changed its direction and struck the cold sword of the assassin who tried to assassinate Yao Yue.
Rumble!
Ah!
First, there was the sound of a thunderclap, followed by an incomparably mournful scream!
The general in the hands of the sneak attacker instantly collapsed, and his entire body was directly struck by the lightning and turned into a charred lump, falling to the ground.
Yao Yue, who was the closest to him, was also shocked by the sound of the Heavenly Lightning. The buzzing sound numbed his eyes and stunned him. A small portion of the powerful electric current had also spread to his body, causing him to convulse in pain!
Yao Yue also fell to the ground, but he was not dead nor did he faint. He could still hold on.
However, the Heavenly Lightning was not over yet. Suddenly, another bolt of lightning struck down.
That bolt of lightning once again blasted the roof of his room apart. That blinding white light almost caused Yao Yue to be unable to open his eyes. At the same time, he felt the terrifying might of the heavens. The power of this attack was enough to kill any elemental general or elemental cultivator.
Otherwise, how could the person who had launched a sneak attack be killed so easily?
Yao Yue was so scared that he did not know what to do. He thought to himself, "I'm dead meat!"
However, the thunder did not strike him. It should have struck somewhere near him, but it was still so loud that his ears felt like they were about to burst.
Following the sound of the thunder, he heard the "Ji" of a little monkey. He knew that the little monkey was in trouble. Just as he was about to shout something, his blood and Qi churned. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Yao Yue did not know that the little monkey was undergoing the baptism of the Heavenly Lightning when he fainted!
Demonic beasts were born with a stronger demonic body than humans. Compared to humans, they were just a little less intelligent.
Because of this, even though they were born with strong bodies, they still needed to undergo the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation in order to truly grow.
However, most demonic beasts would only receive the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation after breaking through to the Demonic King Realm. Only those who could withstand the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation would become Demonic Kings. Those who could not withstand the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation would turn into ashes and die!
The heavens were fair. They granted you certain abilities, but they would also give you certain punishments that others would not be able to endure!
The little monkey was not strong enough to reach the Demonic King Realm. It was only advancing towards the Mid-Tier Great Demon Realm!
The little monkey was born with the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. When it was born, it broke out of the stone and was born with the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. That was the first Heavenly Lightning Tribulation that it was born with. It became a Natural Demon Emperor.
When Yao Yue befriended it, it was already a Low-Tier Great Demon Emperor. It was just that it had not activated its Demon Core and unleashed its Demonic Energy.
Now, it had followed Yao Yue for several months and swallowed many of Yao Yue's Essence Medicines. It was already on the verge of breaking through. Just now, it had swallowed the pure energy of the Primal Stone, causing it to finally break through.
Natural Great Demons represented a powerful bloodline. It meant that they had a much higher starting point than ordinary demons. Therefore, they would also receive the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation every time they broke through.
The person who ambushed it was also a tragedy!
He originally wanted to kill Yao Yue and steal the Primal Stone. He did not expect the little monkey to break through at this moment and attract the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.
Originally, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation was only aimed at the little monkey. However, the person who ambushed it took out his weapon and attracted the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, causing it to strike him first.
This was equivalent to taking the first Heavenly Lightning Tribulation for the little monkey. Because of this, Yao Yue was able to escape the calamity and die without knowing what was going on!
When the little monkey was born, it had already received three Heavenly Lightning Tribulations. Now that it had broken through, it had to receive six more. Someone had already taken the first Heavenly Lightning Tribulation for it, but it still had to face the remaining five Heavenly Lightning Tribulations alone.
The Heavenly Lightning Tribulation was not aimed at the little monkey's body, but at its Demon Core. As long as the Demon Core was shattered, the little monkey would not be able to escape and would definitely die!
The second Heavenly Lightning Tribulation knocked Yao Yue unconscious. At the same time, it almost shattered the Demon Core of the little monkey, causing it to scream miserably. Its fur stood on end and blood immediately splashed out.
Fortunately, it had already endured the first Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. The first three Heavenly Lightning Tribulations were still bearable for it. However, it was very helpless as it screamed miserably. It wanted to escape in the house, but there was nowhere for it to run. The roof was shattered, and the house was in a sorry state.
Fortunately, the little monkey did not want to harm Yao Yue, so it did not run to Yao Yue's side. Otherwise, Yao Yue would also be struck to death by the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!
The Heavenly Might was vast, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation was terrifying, and the sound of thunder resounded in all directions!
When the third Heavenly Lightning Tribulation struck, the little monkey finally used its innate Demonic Skill. Its body became much bigger, and it was as tall as a teenager. Its monkey mouth looked up to the sky and spat out a flame.
The power contained in the flame was not weak. It directly faced the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and weakened the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation by 60%. However, 40% of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation still landed on the little monkey's Demon Core, causing it to crack open.
After the Demon Core was attacked, the little monkey immediately fell to the ground and fell into the pit. It was in so much pain that it was unbearable to look at. Many of its monkey fur fell off, and its flesh was splattered all over.
The fourth Heavenly Lightning Tribulation struck, and the roof was completely destroyed. Yao Yue was also submerged by all the wooden tiles.
The little monkey crazily screamed. It endured all the pain and spat out flames to block the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.
However, it was still unable to block the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. The Demon Core was once again attacked, and the cracks became even more obvious. It was almost shattered.
When the fifth Heavenly Lightning Tribulation struck, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation became even stronger. It was as if it wanted to completely destroy the little monkey!
The little monkey felt the terror of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and did not dare to hold back anymore. It lay in the pit, and its eyes actually turned into two flames that shot towards the sky.
These two flames contained all the power it had. It was actually much stronger than the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation that it spat out earlier.
Boom!
The two flames dissipated more than half of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation's Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, but more than half of it still struck the Demon Core.
Kacha!
The Demon Core was actually on the verge of shattering. However, the little monkey spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which landed on the Demon Core and forcefully stabilized it, allowing it to survive.
When the sixth Heavenly Lightning Tribulation struck, the little monkey's eyes rolled back and its legs stiffened. Its Demon Core dimmed and fell to the ground. It seemed to have died.
The Heavenly Lightning Tribulation seemed to be unable to sense the little monkey's aura. Its power was actually reduced by more than half. When the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation landed near the little monkey, it completely disappeared.
The inexplicable Heavenly Lightning Tribulation had long alarmed the people in the academy.
"What's going on?
Why is there Heavenly Lightning Tribulation all of a sudden? The weather is really strange! "
"The Heavenly Lightning Tribulation seems to have struck the courtyard where Yao Yue, Guan Changyun, and Zhang Mengfei are staying. Did they do something that angered the heavens so much that even the heavens sent down lightning to strike them to death?"
"Haha, they are probably too monstrous. That's why they are destined to die young. They deserve to be struck to death!"
"Why do I feel like something is wrong? There seems to be a flickering flame. It seems like a Demon King is facing a Heavenly Tribulation. How strange!"
"How is that possible? Although there are Demon Kings guarding the courtyard, they rarely appear. Even if they are facing a Heavenly Tribulation, they will go deep into the forest."
Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei, who lived next door to Yao Yue, were frightened to death by the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.
They had seen many Heavenly Lightning Tribulations before, but they had never seen one strike so close to them.
When the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation struck, they were so frightened that they were trembling in their beds. Their ears were swelling uncomfortably.
In a certain courtyard, a courageous young man in white actually leaped onto the roof and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. His eyes flickered with a complicated look.
"Is there some kind of unforeseen event?" the young man in white murmured.
In a few other directions, several black figures appeared. They all looked in the direction of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation with astonishment in their eyes.
Some people also quickly rushed in that direction.
