"Director Lin, there's been some disturbance at Changbai Mountain, thunderclouds all over the sky. The exact reason is still unclear!"

Upon answering the call, Director Lin heard Li Runcheng's words and frowned.

Who knows what that Thunder Tiger is up to again.

Previously, it seemed that Thunder Tiger went deep into the East Sea. Could this change at Changbai Mountain be related?

"Chairman Li, you're closer. Do you have any thoughts?"

After a moment of contemplation, Director Lin inquired.

"Director Lin, I just gave it some thought. There are two possible scenarios: one, Thunder Tiger itself has the ability to command lightning; thus, the thunderclouds over Changbai Mountain could be a manifestation of its power.

Two, perhaps Thunder Tiger is about to advance. According to many ancient texts and myths, when a great monster advances, there must be a Thunder Tribulation. Thus, the thunderclouds could be a heavenly punishment."

Li Runcheng contemplated for a moment and voiced his conjecture.

With the terrifying thunderclouds at Changbai Mountain, the chance of them forming naturally is nearly zero. Therefore, if we want to ascertain the cause of these thunderclouds, we naturally have to focus on Thunder Tiger, the ruler of Changbai Mountain.

Only this Sovereign Beast, which has defeated humanity time and again, has the power to create such thunderclouds over Changbai Mountain.

Upon hearing this, Director Lin appeared thoughtful.

In any case, these thunderclouds are definitely related to Thunder Tiger.

However, now that the Great Qin Empire has honored Thunder Tiger as the Earth's Guardian, there exists a tacit agreement between both sides that they don't interfere with each other, making it virtually impossible to send someone to investigate.

"Chairman Li, continue to monitor the developments at Changbai Mountain and report back at any time!"

After thinking it over, Director Lin still felt that it was better to adopt a wait-and-see approach.

"Alright, Director Lin, I'll send over the related video footage shortly."

Li Runcheng nodded in agreement and ended the call.

Hmm!

Li Runcheng glanced at the tablet on the desk, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly picked it up.

The video showed the sky full of thunderclouds suddenly changing. The sky, formerly streaked with dark purple, was now increasingly dominated by purple light, illuminating the formerly dim vault of heaven.

The thunder in the center of the vortex was visibly growing, and terrifying thunderous sounds emanated from the footage, echoing thunderously within the office.

Changbai Mountain.

Jiang Che raised his head, gazing at the giant Heavenly Tribulation Eye growing with the expanding vortex, his expression extremely grave.

The aura emanating from this Thunder Tribulation was terrifying beyond belief!

The sense of crisis it brought to Jiang Che was, to be blunt, rivaled only by last time when humanity deployed a Forbidden Weapon.

As the thunder within the Heavenly Tribulation Eye grew more active, the thunderclap echoed as if a heavy hammer was smashing the world. Jiang Che quickly understood that the Thunder Tribulation was about to commence.

Looking around, Jiang Che decided to ascend to the sky to face the tribulation; otherwise, if the Thunder Tribulation descended, it would undoubtedly ravage Peach Grove Valley.

At once, Jiang Che summoned the Vajra Smite into his hand, glanced at it, and brimmed with confidence.

"Though the Thunder Tribulation is formidable, with the Vajra Smite in hand, I should have no trouble."

"Third Sister, wait here a bit; I'll go handle the tribulation!"

With that, Jiang Che turned to instruct Nangong Luo, and without waiting for her response, he activated his Flying Rainbow Light, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light, heading straight into the vortex of thunderclouds.

Crash! Boom!

High above, Jiang Che was now only a hundred meters away from the vortex of thunderclouds.

From the center of the vortex, frequent thunder roared, exploding continuously beside Jiang Che's ears. The majestic heavenly might was like a Mount Tai pressing down, straining Jiang Che's entire body with immense pressure.

Gazing at the increasingly violent lightning, Jiang Che's eyes narrowed. Holding the Vajra Smite tightly, he pushed his purple-gold Spiritual Power Shield to its utmost limits.

Crash!

At this moment, an exceptionally dangerous aura formed in the vortex's center. Inside the Heavenly Tribulation Eye, purple flashes appeared, and a terrifying lightning bolt struck down.

Jiang Che below stiffened his heart, standing resolutely in the air, fearlessly awaiting the lightning's arrival.

In the next second, the lightning rapidly expanded in his sight.

Crash!

Instantly, a deafening noise shook the world, and Jiang Che was engulfed by a blanket of purple lightning.

"Big Brother!"

Witnessing this, Nangong Luo, observing from below, let out an alarmed cry, feeling a little worried.

Though advancing to the sixth realm after overcoming a Thunder Tribulation is a great affair, the tribulation itself is extremely perilous. In the previous life, many promising fierce beasts perished under the sixth-level Thunder Tribulation.

Otherwise, how could the number of sixth-level fierce beasts have been so few in the previous life?

But Nangong Luo's worry was evidently unnecessary. The vast lightning in the sky gradually dissipated, Jiang Che reappeared unharmed.

"The power of the first Thunder Tribulation was decent, but it is still far from destabilizing my Spiritual Power Shield."

Seeing his shield just ripple a bit, Jiang Che smiled confidently.

Crash!

Just then, amidst a thunderous boom from above, the second lightning bolt swiftly descended.

As the power of the lightning was not too threatening, Jiang Che decided not to employ the Vajra Smite yet, choosing to rely on the Spiritual Power Shield to withstand it instead.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning with horrifying power struck Jiang Che's Spiritual Power Shield.

The power of this second lightning bolt was significantly stronger than the first, and its devastating light caused Jiang Che's Spiritual Power Shield to tremble, with the ripples gradually turning turbulent.

Until the seventh lightning bolt, Jiang Che had solely relied on the Spiritual Power Shield to withstand each strike.

"Looks like I should use the Vajra Smite this time; otherwise, if this eighth lightning comes down, I'm afraid my Spiritual Power Shield won't hold!"

Seeing the Spiritual Power Shield like a fragile eggshell, Jiang Che's expression turned serious, and he focused intently. As Spiritual Power flowed into the Vajra Smite, its golden glow became increasingly brilliant.

Crash ~ Boom!

Moments later, Jiang Che displayed great prowess, unleashing two Golden Light Blades capable of shattering space, seemingly splitting heaven and earth as they directly shattered the final two most potent lightning bolts midair.

Instantly, the thunderclouds dispersed, revealing a clear sky.

Jiang Che did not immediately descend but stood in midair, eyes closed, sensing his transformation.

After the breakthrough, Jiang Che's body, nourished by Spiritual Power, had undergone a qualitative change.

Every cell in his body was now vibrant and energetic, as if nourished by some essence, filled with boundless vitality.

At this moment, as long as his critical parts were unharmed, he was nearly immortal, possessing even the ability for Limb Regeneration.
