"Is there such a thing? My master's Wind Bird possesses the Ancient Green Bird bloodline, and I happened to be present when it transformed. No Thunder Tribulation appeared." The red-clothed girl tilted her head, asking with some confusion.

"Not every demon beast that contains bloodline power will encounter Transforming Thunder Tribulation. The higher the bloodline level, the greater the chance of it appearing and the greater its power." The white-bearded elder said.

"So, having a high bloodline level might not be a good thing. It's so difficult just to transform." The sword-browed young man said thoughtfully.

"Some people pretend to know when they don't. The sect's classics contain records that Transforming Thunder Tribulation is both a calamity and an opportunity. The thunder not only refines the demon beast's body but also has the effect of stimulating bloodline power. After undergoing the baptism of thunder, the beast's power will be greatly enhanced." The yellow-faced man said with a mocking expression.

"You..." The sword-browed young man showed an angry face.

"Uncle Master, with your vast experience, can you tell what level demon beast is undergoing Thunder Tribulation?" The yellow-faced man ignored the sword-browed young man and asked the white-bearded elder.

"I also can't determine, but it's at least a Level 5 demon beast." The white-bearded elder said, staring straight ahead.

"I read that after overcoming Transforming Thunder Tribulation, demon beasts are seriously injured. Shall we seize the opportunity to capture it? With Uncle Master's strength and ours, it might not be impossible, right?" The yellow-faced man said, itching to try.

The white-bearded elder was somewhat tempted but shook his head after examining the sky full of black clouds for a while, "Judging by the scale of this Thunder Tribulation, this demon beast's strength is quite extraordinary. Even if it's injured after the transformation, we might not be able to capture it. If there are casualties, our Huiyun Island's situation will become even tougher, so let's not cause more trouble, let's go."

Although others were somewhat unwilling, they dared not contradict the white-bearded elder's order.

The group changed direction, preparing to bypass this small island.

Just at this moment, a large mass of white mist suddenly appeared nearby and quickly became thick.

The Huiyun Island crowd wanted to speed up their retreat but it was too late, they were soon engulfed by the white mist. Their Divine Sense couldn't probe the situation inside the mist, instead, it was completely rebounded back.

"Not good, this white mist is a Forbidden illusion! Quickly grab the person next to you and don't get separated in the mist!" The white-bearded elder was shocked.

However, before he could finish speaking, a great suction force emanated from the depths of the white mist, causing the Huiyun Island crowd to uncontrollably fly forwards, including the Returning to Void Cultivator like the white-bearded elder.

A few breaths later, everyone's vision blurred, and they heavily crashed onto the ground in a valley, falling in a dizzy and disoriented state, covered in dust and dirt.

The white-bearded elder also could only barely land, staggering a few steps before stabilizing his stance.

The valley was sealed off by dense white mist, and not far away, there was a cave on the rock wall, faintly emitting spirit light from within.

"Fellow Daoist, we are cultivators from Huiyun Island. Our purpose this time is to find ore and arrived here purely by chance, with no intention of interrupting your spirit beast's tribulation. Please, Fellow Daoist, do not misunderstand." The white-bearded elder's eyes flickered and he bowed towards the cave.

The power used to capture the crowd was astonishing, yet it hadn't reached the Dharma manifestation level. The presence inside the cave should be a Late Stage of Returning to Void existence.

Although it wasn't a Dharma manifestation Great Power, a Late Stage Returning Void cultivator could eliminate them without much effort. Thus, the white-bearded elder acted exceptionally respectfully.

The others, seeing the elder's demeanor, hurriedly stood up, respectfully saluting towards the cave, not daring to breathe heavily.

"Huiyun Island? Never heard of it. It's not some big island in Dongji Sea, right? A Returning to Void Early Stage with a few Nascent Souls dare to wander near the abyss, they really seem tired of living." A gloomy voice came from inside the cave.

"You guessed correctly, Huiyun Island is just a small island in Dongji Sea, low in strength. This trip near the abyss was indeed forced." The white-bearded elder smiled bitterly.

"I heard your conversation just now, no need to explain further. I didn't expect that only after closing off for a mere hundred years, the forces of East Extreme Island would expand so rapidly." The gloomy voice said.

Upon hearing that the person inside the cave didn't intend to pursue, the white-bearded elder was secretly pleased and quickly explained, "East Extreme Island expanded so quickly thanks to that Yuan Mo removing the eye-sore of Wuya Island. However, Yuan Mo also caused considerable trouble. Wuya Island Master Ye Wuya's Daoist companion comes from the Central Continent Su Nu Sect and has been captured by Yuan Mo. It's said that Su Nu Sect has already sent people over."

"This Yuan Mo indeed behaves recklessly, quite to my taste. But Yuan Mo seems to be a nickname. What is this person's real name? Where does he come from?" The gloomy voice asked with interest.

"Reporting to senior, Yuan Mo's real name is Yuan Ming. Several years ago, he did something unknown that attracted the joint pursuit by Dongji Palace, Luo Jia Mountain, Azure Dragon Pond, and the Demon Cultivator sect Black Evil Sect. His strength is formidable; he suddenly appeared on Wuya Island some years ago, capturing all the Returning void cultivators there, including Ye Wuya at the peak of Late Stage. His ruthless actions and suspected demon cultivator status earned him the nickname Yuan Mo." The white-bearded elder spoke eloquently.

"I see, quite an intriguing person. Perhaps after coming out of retreat, I should meet him." The gloomy voice said.

The gloomy voice then inquired about a few issues in the Dongji Sea Cultivation World, and the white-bearded elder answered each in detail.

At this moment, a deafening thunderous roar suddenly came from above, shaking the void, causing the ground underfoot to tremble, and everyone's expression changed.

The valley's sky was also shrouded in white mist, preventing the Huiyun Island group from seeing the situation above.

"Enough, my spirit beast is about to start its tribulation, you may leave." The gloomy voice said, and the white mist outside the valley split open, revealing a passage.

The white-bearded elder rejoiced, promptly replied, and hurriedly led several disciples to fly out.

The mist passage automatically closed, and a figure emerged from within the cave, it was Yuan Ming.

"Yuan Mo? I have always conducted myself openly and honestly, such a nickname for me." He frowned, his voice somewhat displeased. Enjoy the story by reading on *.

"Master, I think your style of conduct has nothing to do with being open and honest..." Vajra's silhouette came out of the cave.

Yuan Ming glared at Vajra, making the latter swallow back the rest of his words, then formed a seal and pointed at the sky above the valley.

The white mist above dissipates, revealing the scene in mid-air.

Bolts of lightning descend from the black clouds in the sky, striking a four-winged Thunder Spirit Bird, about twenty or thirty zhang long—it is Lei Yu.

Lei Yu's demonic power has already reached mid-level Level 5, its entire body covered by dense lightning, resembling a suit of Thunder Armor.

The lightning in mid-air strikes it, not only failing to shatter the Thunder Armor but is completely absorbed, making the armor even more robust.

Yuan Ming observes the situation, a hint of delight appearing on his face.

It's been more than two years since entering the abyss to search for a Level 6 demon beast.

During these two years, he, along with Yun Luo Fairy, Hua Zhi, and Vajra, have diligently searched, but unfortunately, there hasn't been any substantial gain.

However, just recently, Lei Yu, who had been meditating in the Shura Palace, finally broke through to mid-level Level 5 with the help of the Thunder Origin Pill.

Yuan Ming was initially quite pleased, thinking he had another helper for the search, but unexpectedly, Lei Yu actually sensed the Transforming Thunder Tribulation.

The abyss might have the presence of Heavenly Cicada Mother Qi and other dangers, not a suitable place for facing the Transforming Thunder Tribulation. As a result, Yuan Ming informed Yun Luo Fairy and took Lei Yu out of the abyss, arriving at the edge for the tribulation crossing.

As the lightning falling from the thundercloud above grew denser, the Thunder Armor around Lei Yu, despite having the Divine Skill to absorb lightning, began to show signs of crisis, with numerous tears appearing.

Lei Yu did not cower, but instead seemed exceptionally excited, lifting its head to emit a piercing cry that reached into the sky.

Dozens of thick lightning bolts shot out from Lei Yu's mouth, counterattacking the descending thunder tribulation.

Scores of lightning bolts intertwined in the sky, colliding with each other, churning into a massive Thunder Ball.

Lei Yu was inside the Thunder Ball, enduring one wave of lightning baptism after another.

"Master, there's no need to worry. Lei Yu possesses the Ancient Thunder Peng Bloodline and had the ability to devour lightning long ago. Now that its power has reached Level 5, the Transforming Thunder Tribulation won't harm it," Vajra noted, seeing a trace of concern on Yuan Ming's face.

"I'm not worried about Lei Yu, it's just that I previously attached those Great Peng Wings on Lei Yu and then used the Melding Spirit Pill to connect their bloodlines. I wonder if these wings will affect Lei Yu's tribulation crossing," Yuan Ming mused, touching his chin thoughtfully.

Vajra wasn't certain of the outcome either and kept silent.

Time passed gradually, and the thunderclouds in the sky finally began to dissipate; the Transforming Thunder Tribulation concluded.

The Thunder Ball in mid-air also started to shrink, becoming increasingly dazzling and radiant.

The ball shrunk rapidly at a visible pace and transformed into several scattered electric arcs after a few breaths, completely vanishing, and Lei Yu disappeared without a trace.

Yuan Ming was taken aback when suddenly thunder rumbled behind him, and a black-clad youth appeared out of nowhere.

At this moment, Vajra realized that Lei Yu had instantaneously moved behind them, and quickly turned around, showing a look of shock.

"After going through the tribulation, your Thunder Escape has indeed become much faster," Yuan Ming said as he turned around.

This black-clad youth was none other than Lei Yu, and the four wings on his back had disappeared, transforming completely into human form.

"Thanks to Master's Thunder Origin Pill, which not only rapidly improved my demonic power but also had a significant effect on catalyzing my bloodline's power, otherwise, I wouldn't have successfully transformed so soon," Lei Yu said joyfully, looking at his hands.

"How do you feel now?" Yuan Ming carefully observed Lei Yu for a moment, asking.

"I feel great, my bloodline's power has been fully activated, and the power of the thunder and lightning I control has greatly increased," Lei Yu said as he spread his fingers, five thick bolts of lightning shooting out, more dazzling than before and appearing exceedingly violent.

"This is..." Yuan Ming's expression shifted slightly.

Lei Yu moved his five fingers, and the five bolts of lightning merged into one, transforming into a Thunder Spear and blasting forward.

The Thunder Spear flashed to the end of the valley, before a hundred-zhang tall peak, and after a few breaths vanished as if it had simply disappeared.

"Is that all?"

The moment Vajra spoke, there was a thunderous boom, like a colossal pillar of lightning rising to the sky, engulfing the hundred-zhang giant peak within it.

The giant peak shattered instantly into countless pieces and then turned into nothingness.

Though the giant peak vanished, the pillar of lightning did not disperse but soared upwards into the clouds and pierced downwards into the ground.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the ground across the island seemed to be torn by an invisible force, and a massive fissure opened up, running across the island with the lightning pillar as the center.
