Boom!
The heavens and earth rumbled as the originally bright sky instantly turned dusky. It was so much so that even the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth seemed to have sensed something terrifying as it started to disperse from this region.
Woo!
Woo! Countless Spiritual Beasts trembled as they issued mournful howls. The Divine Black Lightning Tribulation was an extremely terrifying thing for all Spiritual Beasts.
They had been looking forward to the Lightning Tribulation that could allow them to be reborn during their long cultivation, but they were also incomparably fearful of it.
Mu Chen stood on the peak of a mountain as he looked at the nine heavens with a grave gaze. In that direction, the black thunderclouds were constantly being formed with black light flickering within. The lightning energy was indescribably violent. Even the lightning river in the eighth level of the Lightning Territory paled in comparison.
It was a genuine destructive energy that originated from the heavens and earth.
Under the terrifying Divine Black Lightning Clouds, the Jiu You Sparrow was flapping its wings that could cover the mountains. Its massive body was blazing with surging black flames. As the black flames surged, the temperature between the heavens and earth rose.
Every time the Jiu You Sparrow flapped its wings, it would bring about a blazing hurricane that swept across the heavens and earth.
Screech!
The Jiu You Sparrow's resonant cry resounded. Its eyes were blazing with black flames as it unyieldingly looked at the Divine Black Lightning Clouds that were constantly forming. It had already been defeated twice. If it didn't possess the bloodline of the Undying Bird, it would have long been annihilated by the Lightning Tribulation.
However, despite its repeated failures, it still did not think of admitting defeat. It was the prideful Jiu You Sparrow that possessed the bloodline of the Undying Bird. It wanted to become the strongest Divine Beast in the world!
Therefore, it must succeed in its evolution!
The Jiu You Sparrow released a clear cry towards the sky as it flapped its massive wings. Once again, it issued a challenge towards the Divine Black Lightning Tribulation. This time, it would not fail!
Rumble!
The Divine Black Lightning Tribulation that was constantly forming seemed to have sensed the challenge from the Jiu You Sparrow. Instantly, the black clouds started to wiggle as a terrifying might of the heavens and earth enveloped out.
Increasingly terrifying lightning energy frantically gathered within the thunderclouds.
Boom!
The thunderclouds were torn apart and every sound in this region froze at this moment as a massive bolt of black divine lightning descended from the sky with destructive power, ruthlessly slamming towards the Jiu You Sparrow.
Screech!
The Jiu You Sparrow screeched, as it flapped its huge wings, and a torrential Black Flame burst forth, transforming into a tornado that clashed with the Black Godly Lightning.
Dong!
A loud sound resounded out. The instant the lightning and black flames collided, a violent shockwave swept out. The surrounding towering mountain peaks were practically swept to the ground in an instant.
Mu Chen landed on the ground and looked at the shocking collision in front of him in shock. Back in the Northern Spiritual Realm, he had already seen the clash between the Jiu You Sparrow and the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation. Now, both the Jiu You Sparrow and the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation were clearly much stronger than before.
"This Divine Black Thunder Tribulation seems to be able to change in strength according to the strength of the lifeform undergoing the tribulation."
Mu Chen fell into deep thought. Truly worthy of being a crucial step in the evolution of Spiritual Beasts. Under the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation, god knows how many powerful Spiritual Beasts had been annihilated.
The Jiu You Sparrow did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the first confrontation. However, Mu Chen was clear that this was only the beginning.
Just as this thought flashed across Mu Chen's mind, the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation had finally finished gathering in the sky. A terrifying heavenly might spread out, before it started to reveal its malevolence.
Boom!
Boom!
Within the darkness of the heavens and earth, the Lightning Tribulation wiggled as massive bolts of black divine lightning covered the skies and covered the earth as they descended. Every single bolt of divine lightning was directed towards the Jiu You Sparrow with incomparable accuracy.
The eyes of the Jiu You Sparrow reflected the countless bolts of divine lightning that descended as unyielding flames filled its eyes. All of a sudden, it flapped its wings, while the energy within its body was completely mobilised.
Huff!
Black flames swept out like a sea of fire, transforming into tornadoes that tore through the horizon as they smashed towards the divine lightning in an attempt to block them.
Two dreadful energies clashed in the horizon as energy ripples that were roughly ten thousand feet in size rippled out. Even space started to distort from the clash. Any single bit of energy that leaked out was sufficient to instantly flatten the entire mountain range.
Standing on the ground, Mu Chen raised his head to look at the violent confrontation in the sky. His hands were tightly clenched and his body tensed up. He could sense that as the frequency of the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation grew more and more rapid, the defence of the Jiu You Sparrow had started to loosen.
All of a sudden, Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as a massive bolt of black divine lightning abruptly descended from the horizon. It broke through the obstruction of the storm of black flames and heavily struck against the massive body of the Jiu You Sparrow.
Boom!
A deep muffled sound rang out as the massive body of the Jiu You Sparrow was forcefully sent down a thousand feet. Black smoke surged from the spot that was struck by the lightning. Even the surging black flames were unable to swiftly heal the injuries there.
The Jiu You Sparrow issued a sharp cry of pain as its eyes turned scarlet.
Boom!
Boom!
However, before the Jiu You Sparrow could fly into a rage, the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation had entered a berserk state. The lightning clouds retracted as bolts of black divine lightning frantically descended. In that instant, even the heavens and earth had started to tremble under the violent lightning tribulation.
The Jiu You Sparrow folded its wings, protecting its body. As the black flames surged, it transformed into a layer of black crystals around its body. Black flames rose on the crystal layer, making it look incomparably sturdy.
Boom!
Boom!
Bolts of divine lightning pierced through the heavens and earth, before violently smashing against the black crystal layer around the Jiu You Sparrow. Every single bolt of divine lightning would shatter countless layers of crystal, while the body of the Jiu You Sparrow would violently tremble. Clearly, it was suffering from immense pain.
The divine lightning wreaked havoc for several minutes, before the black crystal layer around the Jiu You Sparrow was completely shattered. Its originally elegant and slender body was now in an exceedingly miserable state, with blood continuously dripping from its feathers.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the Jiu You Sparrow, Mu Chen could not help clenching his fists tightly. The Divine Black Thunder Tribulation was actually this powerful. Every single bolt of black divine lightning was sufficient to blast a Heavenly Completion Stage expert into nothingness.
However, from the looks of it, if this situation were to continue, the Jiu You Sparrow might not be able to endure it any longer.
Under the nervous gaze of Mu Chen, the battered and exhausted Jiu You Sparrow did not care about its heavily injured body. It still raised its head and issued a prideful cry. Even if it was to be destroyed, it was not willing to admit defeat to the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation.
Boom!
The Divine Black Thunder Tribulation was emotionless, as the destructive divine lightning still smashed down mercilessly.
Whoosh!
However, just when the divine lightning was about to land on the body of the Jiu You Sparrow, a faint rainbow suddenly shot out from its body. The rainbow hovered above the Jiu You Sparrow and expanded, turning into an incomparably huge feather.
The feather was dark-green in colour, with endless flowing light flowing on it. When the feather stretched out, it seemed to cover the entire heavens and earth.
The divine lightning ruthlessly smashed against the dark-green feather, causing the flowing light on the domain to dissipate. However, it still managed to endure the attack, and was not destroyed.
"What's that?"
Mu Chen was also slightly startled. The dark-green feather clearly did not belong to the Jiu You Sparrow, but the power contained in it was extremely powerful. It actually did not dissipate even after taking a few hits from the divine lightning.
When the Jiu You Sparrow saw this, it was also stunned. However, it quickly recovered from its injuries. It knew that although the feather was powerful, it could only slightly withstand the divine lightning. It still had to rely on itself to pass through the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation.
Because of this sudden appearance, the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation was also enraged. It could sense that the feather did not have the aura of the Jiu You Sparrow. It was exceptionally disgusted with such foreign objects. Boom!
Boom!
Therefore, the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation began to squirm, and huge divine lightning constantly struck down. Facing the furious strikes of the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation, the feather also began to dim, and in the end, it was completely blasted into ashes by the divine lightning.
"Screech!"
When the feather turned into ashes, the Jiu You Sparrow raised its head to the sky and let out a long cry. Scalding blood continuously dripped from its body, but its eyes were abnormally bright.
As it let out a clear cry, Mu Chen could see a faint purple light suddenly flashing from the wounds on the Jiu You Sparrow's body. It seemed to be an extremely weak strand of purple flame.
The strand of purple flame was hidden within the black flames, and was basically undetectable. However, Mu Chen could see that the injuries on the Jiu You Sparrow's body were rapidly recovering with the appearance of the purple flame. It was so much so that even the power of the divine lightning couldn't obstruct it.
"That's the Undying Flame?!"
Mu Chen stared at the faint purple flame and his pupils slightly narrowed. The current him had a rather good understanding of the Jiu You Sparrow, so he naturally knew that only the Undying Flame that was born from the Undying Bird's body could ignore the injuries of the Divine Tribulation and heal its body. However, the Undying Flame was unique to the Undying Bird. Although the Jiu You Sparrow possessed a little of the Undying Bird's bloodline, it was still a little thin, and it wasn't enough to awaken the Undying Flame.
But right now, the Undying Flame had appeared in the Jiu You Sparrow's body, which meant that the Undying Bird's bloodline in its body far surpassed that of an ordinary Jiu You Sparrow!
Mu Chen's gaze faintly flickered. It looked like the Jiu You Sparrow wasn't ordinary within its clan.
As its injuries rapidly recovered, the unyielding flames blazing in the Jiu You Sparrow's eyes grew even more intense. It raised its head and looked at the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation that was shrinking bit by bit, but the destructive power within it was growing more and more terrifying.
It knew that the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation was brewing its strongest power, preparing to wipe it off the face of this world!
However, in the face of the power that could destroy it, the Jiu You Sparrow proudly raised its head and slowly flapped its enormous wings. Within the black flames that covered the sky and covered the earth, traces of extremely faint purple flames appeared.
"Screech!"
It let out a clear cry and issued its final challenge to the Divine Black Thunder Tribulation!
