Boom! Boom!

Above the Heavenly River, thick layers of spiritual clouds gathered, intertwining and surging. Multicolored lightning occasionally flickered within, and deep thunder rumbled across the heavens and earth, emanating an oppressive force that made one’s heart tremble.

The once violently churning Heavenly River gradually calmed, as if subdued by an unseen celestial force.

Mo Yu looked up at the vast spiritual clouds above. The lightning there shimmered in dazzling colors, condensed from the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Each bolt carried immense power—so much so that even a true Lesser Earthly Supreme would not dare underestimate them.

Behind Mo Yu, a colossal silver-white Heavenly Thunder Body stood tall, radiating a brilliant glow. Its entire form exuded a destructive thunderous aura.

This Heavenly Dharma Body was the second form of his Heavenly Thunder Body. Though it did not belong to the legendary Ninety-Nine Supreme Dharma Bodies, it was not much weaker than those ranked at the forefront.

And Mo Yu was eager to see just how powerful this newly manifested Heavenly Dharma Body truly was.

Rumble—

Only the continuous roar of thunder echoed through the heavens and earth. Everything else fell silent. This eerie stillness lasted for several minutes before the thick spiritual clouds high above suddenly churned violently. In the next instant, the clouds were abruptly torn apart as a dazzling bolt of lightning came crashing down.

Boom!

The magnificent lightning bolt, spanning a hundred zhang in length, resembled a colossal multicolored dragon. It descended with a mighty roar, distorting the very fabric of space in its wake, making everything appear blurred and warped.

The speed of the multicolored lightning was terrifyingly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had pierced through space and appeared directly above Mo Yu. Without hesitation, it struck fiercely toward the Heavenly Dharma Body.

Seeing this, Mo Yu did not dare to be negligent. With a mere thought, the Heavenly Dharma Body let out a sky-shaking roar, and in an instant, a blinding surge of thunderous energy erupted from its body.

A massive pillar of lightning spewed forth from the mouth of the Heavenly Dharma Body, containing boundless, overwhelming thunder energy.

Boom!

The two forces collided like meteors crashing together. The impact instantly caused the surrounding space to collapse inward, and the resulting shockwaves spread out like a vast tsunami, sweeping in all directions.

The entire Heavenly River trembled under the impact. Towering waves surged skyward, creating an incredibly spectacular scene.

Both forces clashed madly, unleashing terrifying energy. After nearly several minutes, the power of both forces finally dissipated.

"Oh? Is that Mo Yu’s Dharma Body? Its presence is incredibly strong... even stronger than the most formidable Dharma Body I’ve ever seen—the Emperor Ruler Dharma Body, which ranks forty-fifth among the Ninety-Nine Supreme Dharma Bodies. This one could easily rank within the top thirty!"

The Wind Emperor murmured in surprise as he gazed at the towering Heavenly Dharma Body above Mo Yu.

He had initially thought that, as a newcomer to the Great Thousand World, Mo Yu wouldn’t have had the chance to cultivate a Dharma Body. However, he hadn’t expected that the second stage of the Heavenly Thunder Body would already manifest as such a formidable Dharma Body.

"As expected of the renowned Thunder Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent. He never fails to bring surprises. But there are a total of nine stages in this Spiritual Tribulation, and each one is stronger than the last. This was only the first stage—the upcoming ones will be even more challenging."

The Wind Emperor’s gaze remained fixed on the spiritual clouds above the Heavenly River, which showed no signs of dispersing. Being a mighty Earthly Supreme, his keen eyesight allowed him to discern that, although Mo Yu had successfully endured the first tribulation, the following lightning strikes would only grow fiercer.

Rumble!

As the Wind Emperor pondered, the thick clouds high above once again churned violently. A much larger bolt of multicolored lightning loomed within, akin to a giant dragon lurking in the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Boom!

Suddenly, the spiritual clouds were torn apart once more, and an even larger bolt of multicolored lightning came crashing down, heading straight for the Heavenly Dharma Body.

Seeing this, Mo Yu’s expression turned serious. With a thought, the Heavenly Dharma Body released an eruption of thunderous energy, forming an enormous lightning barrier above itself. This barrier rippled with terrifyingly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

This time, Mo Yu was clearly adopting a defensive stance.

Bang!

The moment the lightning barrier took shape, the multicolored lightning struck fiercely against it. In an instant, a crack appeared on the surface of the barrier.

Mo Yu was momentarily taken aback. However, before he could react, a third bolt of lightning had already formed in the sky. This one was several times larger than the previous two.

Crack! Crack!

Facing the third lightning strike, the barrier ultimately failed to hold for long before shattering completely. The multicolored lightning bolt then struck the Heavenly Dharma Body directly.

This impact was significantly stronger than the previous one. The Heavenly Dharma Body’s once-radiant glow dimmed considerably. At the same time, Mo Yu, who was tightly connected to his Dharma Body, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Boom! Boom!

Before Mo Yu could catch his breath, the spiritual clouds churned wildly once more. In the next instant, two lightning tribulations descended simultaneously.

As the two bolts of lightning crashed down, Mo Yu’s expression grew solemn. He dared not hesitate—activating all the Thunder Souls within him, he condensed them into a thousand-zhang-long Thunder Sword. His spiritual energy surged like an endless ocean, continuously pouring into the sword.

Boom!

The Thunder Sword collided fiercely with the two incoming lightning bolts. Thunder roared across the heavens and earth, and while the Thunder Sword gradually shattered, the power of the two lightning tribulations was also steadily being weakened.

"Hah..."

Seeing the two tribulations about to dissipate, Mo Yu let out a silent sigh of relief.

Boom!

However, just as he relaxed for a brief moment, the two lightning tribulations suddenly exploded. From within them, yet another tribulation bolt formed, streaking through the air like a thunderous spear, aiming straight for Mo Yu.

Three lightning tribulations in one strike!

The third bolt was already upon him in an instant. However, just as it was about to land, Mo Yu’s sleeve flicked, and the Deathly Silence Gate shot forth. The Deathly World activated, sealing the hidden third lightning tribulation within it.

"Truly cunning."

Mo Yu smirked as he watched the last remnants of the lightning tribulation dissipate. If he hadn’t been well-prepared, he might have fallen for this unexpected assault.

"Now, there should be only four lightning tribulations left."

Mo Yu raised his hand, gathering thirteen Thunder Souls into a dazzling Thunder Sword. Beneath his feet, the Heavenly Dharma Body radiated a terrifying thunderous glow, enveloping him in protection. At this point, he had nearly exhausted all his trump cards. With this level of defense, he should be able to withstand the remaining four tribulations... right?

And so, time continued to pass. The spiritual clouds above churned incessantly, and one after another, increasingly terrifying lightning tribulations struck down like a relentless storm.

However, after enduring the first five tribulations, Mo Yu had gained some experience. Utilizing his formidable combat strength, he barely managed to withstand each subsequent strike, even though he frequently found himself in perilous situations.

Half an hour later, all eight lightning tribulations had been endured.

But despite overcoming them, Mo Yu’s condition was far from ideal. His body was now streaked with multicolored scars—marks left by the relentless lightning strikes.

These dazzling colors were an extremely chaotic form of spiritual energy. If they invaded one’s body, they would act like a deadly poison, corrupting one’s own spiritual energy and inflicting severe damage.

Thus, Mo Yu could only continuously expend his own spiritual energy to dissolve them completely.

Beneath him, the Heavenly Thunder Body also dimmed significantly at this moment, clearly having consumed an immense amount of power to resist the spiritual tribulation.

"Eight tribulations have descended, only the final one remains..."

Mo Yu raised his head, gazing at the now much thinner spiritual clouds. Though only the last tribulation remained, he did not feel any relief.

Because this ninth spiritual tribulation had been brewing for a long time. Clearly, its power would far surpass any of the previous ones.

Buzz!

A heavy silence enveloped the heavens and earth for a long moment before the spiritual clouds in the high skies began to churn once more. Suddenly, boundless dazzling light burst forth, distorting the entire world under its radiance.

The layers of spiritual clouds rapidly compressed at an astonishing speed. Moments later, the spiritual clouds unexpectedly transformed into a massive dragon resembling a cloud-hued sunset.

The dragon coiled in midair, its multicolored eyes locking onto Mo Yu. A terrifying aura descended, blanketing the heavens and earth.

Wind Emperor’s expression changed slightly as he gazed at the dragon-shaped spiritual tribulation. In a low, astonished voice, he murmured, "The ninth tribulation actually took form?"

Typically, spiritual tribulations manifested as thunder and lightning. However, rare exceptions existed where the tribulations could take shape. Such occurrences were exceedingly rare.

The strength of a spiritual tribulation was determined by the power of the tribulation challenger’s Dharma Body. As he realized this, Wind Emperor couldn’t help but mutter in shock, "Mo Yu’s Dharma Body... is actually this powerful? He forced the spiritual tribulation to take form?"

Roar!

In the skies, the dragon-shaped spiritual tribulation unleashed its full might. Then, it raised its head and let out an earth-shaking roar.

The next moment, the dragon lashed its tail and dived, carrying an overwhelming force of destruction straight toward Mo Yu.

As the dragon-shaped spiritual tribulation descended, the surrounding space seemed to shatter. Below, the Heavenly River was torn apart by its power, creating a chasm tens of thousands of feet wide. It looked as though the entire river was about to be split in two.

Boom!

As the tribulation came crashing down, Mo Yu waved his hand, and the Thunder Soul Sword slashed forward. In an instant, thunderous lightning strikes swept across the sky.

At the same time, Mo Yu opened his mouth and spat out a vast ocean of lightning. The colossal waves carried the might to crush mountains, surging fiercely toward the dragon-shaped spiritual tribulation.

Bang! Bang!

Mo Yu had pushed his power to the absolute limit. However, when the lightning slashes and ocean waves collided with the dragon-shaped tribulation, they were instantly torn apart and crushed into nothingness!

The dragon-shaped tribulation surged forward with unstoppable momentum, shattering Mo Yu’s two attacks with ease!

In the distance, Wind Emperor’s expression changed dramatically. Previously, Mo Yu had relied on his overwhelming strength to resist most of the spiritual tribulations. However, in the face of this ninth dragon-shaped tribulation, all his previous efforts were meaningless!

Boom!

With his attacks failing, Mo Yu was directly exposed beneath the dragon-shaped tribulation.

Boom! Boom!

Ear-piercing sonic booms echoed as the dragon’s roar resounded through the sky. Yet, Mo Yu remained motionless, as steady as a boulder. His mind had completely merged with his Heavenly Dharma Body.

He was about to unleash the Heavenly Dharma Body’s innate divine ability.

The overwhelming force descending from above caused blood to instantly burst from Mo Yu’s skin, turning him into a figure entirely drenched in blood.

Yet, he remained still, seemingly offering no resistance.

From afar, Wind Emperor’s expression turned grave, his hands clenching tightly.

One hundred feet... fifty feet... ten feet...

Just as the dragon-shaped spiritual tribulation entered the ten-foot range above Mo Yu, his tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open.

His silver pupils transformed, now gleaming like condensed lightning.

He formed a single-hand seal, and his Heavenly Dharma Body beneath him mirrored the same hand seal.

Whoosh!

A dazzling silver lightning erupted from the Heavenly Dharma Body. The wild silver lightning converged rapidly, ultimately condensing into a Thunder Heart.

A sphere of lightning, roughly the size of a human head, slowly emerged. Within the sphere, a silver heart could be faintly seen pulsing.

With each pulse, deep thunderclaps echoed, shaking the very fabric of space. Silver currents flickered chaotically, distorting the surroundings.

As the terrifying Thunder Heart took form, Mo Yu slowly raised his head, gazing at the dragon-shaped tribulation descending upon him.

A low voice escaped his lips.

"Heavenly Dharma Body, Thunder Heart."

Mo Yu lifted his palm and clenched his fist. In that instant, the Thunder Heart shot out like a cannonball, unleashing a frenzied thunderous force. It rapidly expanded, transforming into a swirling vortex of lightning.

Boom!

Just as the lightning vortex formed, the dragon-shaped tribulation crashed down upon it with devastating force.

It was like a second sun rising in the world. A cataclysmic shockwave erupted, engulfing everything.

The entire space shattered into countless fragments. Below, the Heavenly River collapsed, forming an enormous pit tens of thousands of feet wide. The raging waters churned violently but were unable to fill the abyss.

Wind Emperor swiftly waved his aged hand, erecting a spiritual energy barrier in front of him to block the terrifying impact.

The destructive force raged on for over ten minutes before gradually dissipating.

At that moment, Wind Emperor’s ancient eyes immediately turned toward the place where Mo Yu had stood. His brows furrowed tightly.

He clearly wanted to know—

Had Mo Yu successfully overcome this terrifying spiritual tribulation, or had he failed?
