Just as the electric eel, or rather the Flood Dragon that has taken shape, paused its body, the horn on its head suddenly emitted a white light, which instantly met the white light of the Heavenly Thunder, causing a dazzling explosion of white light between heaven and earth, lighting up the sky. People in the distance instinctively closed their eyes because the light was too intense, and nothing could be seen. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan also raised their hands to shield their faces.

The thunder resounded, blasting continuously, and even though they had already closed off their hearing, the two could still feel that deafening sound. It took a full five or six seconds for the sound to gradually dissipate, and the white light disappeared.

"This is only the sixth one..." Li Yifei couldn’t help but sigh. He and Xu Shanshan were still swimming backward. Such heaven’s might, for him and Xu Shanshan to withstand four together and then endure the fifth alone, was already worth bragging about.

"Those people are too close!" Xu Shanshan spoke up.

Li Yifei was stunned upon hearing this, and his body darted out of the water as he shouted toward Hu Yu’er: "Quickly leave!"

The voice was loud, and Hu Yu’er and the others came to their senses after hearing it. They had already tried to cover their ears, but were still dazed by the earth-shaking sound, and some people had even simply fainted. So Hu Yu’er, who was awake, hastily shouted, "Hurry, leave at full speed, don’t stay here!"

Many were still deafened, but seeing Hu Yu’er’s mouth shape and gestures, they understood what she was shouting, and hurriedly ran back.

Whether the seventh thunder exists or when it would strike was unknown, but one thing was certain, this seventh Heavenly Thunder would definitely be more powerful and terrifying than the previous ones.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan had already swum to the shore, 140 to 150 meters away from the electric eel. This distance was already far for humans, but for Heavenly Thunder, this distance meant nothing at all, as it fell from thousands of meters high, capable of striking the eel instantly, making Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan not very safe standing here.

"Here should be okay, be on guard. Just now, during the fifth Heavenly Thunder, my True Qi was instantly drained!" Li Yifei appeared somewhat weak, sitting on the beach with narrowed eyes watching the distant electric eel, and Xu Shanshan responded, "No problem, I still have True Qi!"

Drawing out the Mohist War Sword, Xu Shanshan stood beside Li Yifei, guarded against the potentially ’mis-struck’ Heavenly Thunder, which was Li Yifei’s concern. God knows if the clouds above had their own consciousness and would get angry over their previous resistance, striking them at the end. Given their current situation, it would be dangerous.

The electric eel on the deck seemed to be unaffected after taking a hit from the Heavenly Thunder; rather, it even shook its body slightly, looked up at the clouds, snorted out a jet of white vapor, and grinned in an odd sound. Despite its small body, the sound was thunderous, reaching afar.

With Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan helping it withstand previous Heavenly Thunder, it was given ample time to transform, allowing it enough time to take shape, hence its current excellent condition.

Though the previous Heavenly Thunder was relatively weaker, it was in the shape-shifting stage and its body was weak then. If struck by Heavenly Thunder directly, its shape-shifting speed would perhaps slow, or it might be killed outright!

These were variables, but it was lucky. Although Li Yifei was intent on capturing it due to guarding the reef and attacking him, he did help it later nonetheless, as without him facing pain and shape-shifting while struck by lightning would leave little hope.

After the transformation, its power was constantly increasing, the most direct effect of realm advancement. After enduring the sixth Heavenly Thunder, its aura seemed unaffected but instead grew stronger.

The seventh Heavenly Thunder still existed, just accumulated longer, allowing Hu Yu’er and the others more time to escape. Though prepared for the seventh Heavenly Thunder strike, many on the boat had seven orifices bleeding, it was miserably dreadful.

Li Yifei couldn’t bother with the situation there, sitting on the ground thinking if only there was a medication that could quickly restore True Qi. Such medicine existed but unfortunately wasn’t fast enough in recovery, even ones crafted by Yao Lingfu were slow, yet now what he needed was rapid True Qi recovery.

Observing Heavenly Thunder or Thunder Calamity closely, ordinary people might find it shocking, but for Li Yifei and Xu Yingying, it was a rare experience. Now both knew of a realm beyond Innate Expert called the Indescribable Realm; unknown for now, unclear and unspeakable, yet someone could achieve it. The electric eel now faced Heavenly Tribulation in transformation, meaning... if humans reach the Indescribable Realm, would they face Heavenly Thunder?

The two thought this concurrently, thus cooperated to resist the Heavenly Thunder wanting to experience it early, though they didn’t leave after retreating and continued observing.

The seventh Heavenly Thunder emerged amidst their guesses, swiftly and suddenly, striking the eel, shaking its body, it roared toward the sky, sound penetrating clouds nearly overpowering thunder.

Heavenly Thunder grew stronger, increasingly formidable. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan found themselves not only amazed by its vigor but shocked by its ferocity, feeling the sands around trembling as if earth and heaven quivered momentarily.

Under such heaven’s might, humans seemed insignificant, making Li Yifei contemplate words read days ago, now comprehending nature’s might better.

The words questioned whether human destruction would lead to Earth’s demise, and a scientist replied, "Earth won’t perish, it’ll be humanity. Nature’s face unaffected whether all nuclear weapons explode together or spaced apart, killing humans, radiation cloud... to Earth, what is the impact?

Seeing heaven’s might, witnessing seven consecutive Heavenly Thunders, Li Yifei profoundly understood the words, cultivators are humanity’s miracle. Ancients perhaps feared this, so invented cultivation, communicating heaven and earth, strengthening without ceasing, beginning to resist heaven! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"So it’s like this, hahaha, so it’s like this!" Despite his body discomfort, Li Yifei suddenly understood, joyously shouting, Xu Shanshan’s hand trembled, legs shook, internally stunned beyond belief—only seventh Heavenly Thunder, what follows? If dozens of thunder, unimaginable strength, if a few more... might be bearable.

"Come, sit!" Li Yifei pulled Xu Shanshan down, seeing she also couldn’t stand much longer, gripping her hand she transferred True Qi, protecting him.

The Heavenly Intent seemed furious in clouds; the eel endured after Seventh Thunder so Eighth Thunder descended quickly.

With a boom, Eighth Thunder struck, sound louder, broader influence, resulting in news likely reporting tomorrow or tonight: "Extreme weather in a certain place, thunderstorms damaged property, causing injuries and deaths!"

"Really... powerful!" Li Yifei felt his body was lifted off the ground then fell back down; they were numb now, no longer stunned by it, while Hu Yu’er’s boat escaped two kilometers onward. Li Yifei needn’t worry there.

Heaven’s might, heaven’s might, experienced its counter once, seen remaining Thunder’s potency, one day... possibly facing thunder again, gained experience.

Eel remained fine; alas, its standing ship began tearing apart, water flooding the hull, estimating another Thunder and it’s gone.

"Eight times, truly strong." Li Yifei praised the eel; if initial Thunder had this strength, he and Xu Shanshan might have failed resisting, severe injuries even surviving, yet the electric eel after Ninth Thunder only wobbled, some discomfort but still standing.

Xu Shanshan queried, "Seems humans could achieve this level, but what cultivation is needed?"

As they marveled, Ninth Thunder brewed within clouds, a purple lightning amidst dark clouds, ready to strike.
