Everyone nodded, feeling a bit strange about Zhao Yang's words, but they didn't dwell on it and followed Liu Rou as she led them to the exit of the Water Prison Space.
Sensing that King Yu and the others had already moved far away, while Zhao Tianlang and Ji Wudao were still engaged in fierce combat with the Short Old Man, Zhao Yang sat calmly like a Buddha, reciting the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula. His True Qi flowed in reverse, transforming into Thunder Spirit, powerful currents swirling around his body, emitting a blue glow.
Outside the Water Prison Space, dark clouds loomed overhead, enveloping the entire area for dozens of miles.
Occasional flashes of lightning flickered through the dark clouds. The three Transcendence Stage Experts engaged in battle couldn't help but glance up at the sky. As masters of the Tribulation Period, their sensitivity to thunder and lightning was many times stronger than ordinary people’s, as the most terrifying aspect of this realm was the Thunder Tribulation.
Since ancient times, under the Thunder Tribulation, nine out of ten people faced death. For cultivators in the Tribulation Period, a Celestial Root would form within them; once matured, it would attract lightning. Thus, those who had formed a Celestial Root naturally reacted to thunder and lightning.
The Short Old Man's expression turned grim as he fearfully looked up at the sky. Through the Water Prison Space, he saw the massive dark clouds looming high above. The rumbling sound of thunder echoed through the Water Prison Space, like a giant hammer striking down upon him!
Thousands of years ago, he had failed his Transcend Tribulation and still vividly remembered it. He was originally known as Waterway Supreme, having created an unparalleled realm in water cultivation that no one could match throughout history. He shattered the notion that cultivators with Water Spirit Roots could not compete with their peers at the same level. His mastery of water techniques was extraordinary, making him invincible among his contemporaries. He even comprehended the Water Prison Space, a domain that made him invulnerable in water.
However, his only weakness was his fear of electricity.
The reason was simple: water conducts electricity and is an excellent conductor. During his Transcend Tribulation, he barely had time to react before being struck down, his body severely injured and his Celestial Root shattered. Half of the water molecules within him exploded. In that critical moment, he abandoned his Celestial Root and fell to the early stage of the Tribulation Period. Now old and frail, he could no longer cultivate a second Celestial Root. To escape from vengeful pursuers, he had no choice but to sink into a bottomless Spirit Lake for millennia, waiting for the legendary King of Participation Becomes a Saint or Heavenly Herb Immortal.
Now that rumors of King of Participation Becomes a Saint had come true, he awakened from the lake's depths and absorbed all living beings within it. He was preparing to drain the life essence from several passing cultivators above him when unexpectedly he encountered a tough opponent.
What he never anticipated was that even now he did not understand whether someone was transcending tribulation or what was happening; why such a massive thundercloud had suddenly appeared? Could it be that this ink-wash painting-like man before him had triggered the Thunder Tribulation while transcending in his Water Prison Space? Did he not fear death?
"You madman!" shouted the Short Old Man as he quickly tried to flee downward from his Water Prison Space.
But it was already too late.
A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky like a tangible thunder dragon, crashing into the Water Prison Space. In a realm of light and darkness, a gigantic and radiant water sphere erupted, shining like a brilliant diamond across the Five Elements Continent, illuminating the mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Over ten miles away, He Qing widened his eyes, gazing at the beautiful water sphere floating in the air behind him, his face illuminated by its diamond-like brilliance.
The enormous thunder dragon pierced through the Water Prison Space. Even the supreme being of water could not escape the speed of lightning.
Boom!
The electric light contracted and then exploded with a deafening roar. The Water Prison Space shattered, and Zhao Yang sat calmly like the True Buddha, slowly descending from the sky, flickering with electric sparks yet untouched by water.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianlang and Ji Wudao were still lying in the water, convulsing.
“Dad! Brother Ji!” Zhao Yang said somewhat sheepishly. The reason he hadn’t warned Zhao Tianlang and Ji Wudao was to let them experience the taste of a thunder tribulation. With heavenly thunder crashing down and millions of volts coursing through, it was enough to give them quite a shock.
“Get lost!” Zhao Tianlang and Ji Wudao gritted their teeth, realizing that this guy had unleashed such a massive thundercloud for an indiscriminate attack.
Though Zhao Tianlang was angry at his son's actions, he felt a sense of joy inside. He had heard Yu Tianzun speak of this technique before; it was none other than the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula that had once shaken the cultivation world six thousand years ago. Later classified as a Forbidden Technique, it had been lost for ages. He never expected his son to have mastered it.
Zhao Tianlang and Ji Wudao got up. Both were Transcendence Stage Experts with newly formed Celestial Roots. Although the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula was one of the most powerful Thunder Path Cultivation Methods since ancient times, it was not a true thunder tribulation and would not destroy a cultivator's Celestial Root. Indeed, Zhao Tianlang and Ji Wudao had greatly benefited from this ordeal.
King Yu and his companions heard Zhao Yang's Divine Sense transmission and rushed over. They found the Short Old Man barely clinging to life at the bottom of the lake. Zhao Yang lifted him onto the shore, electric sparks dancing in his hands as he wore a playful smile.
Fear flickered in the Short Old Man's eyes as he shouted, “What do you want from me!”
Zhao Yang scoffed, “Why are you asking what we want? Why did you ambush us?”
The Short Old Man snorted and said, "You all concealed your cultivation levels. Who would have known that these two are fellow practitioners of the Tribulation Period? And who would have thought that a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like you could cultivate the Thunder Path to such an extent?"
"Does that mean I killed the wrong person? Fine, then I'll just kill you, old man, and let you experience the feeling of being mistakenly killed," Zhao Yang said as he pressed the electric light towards the old man's head.
"Wait!" A hint of panic appeared on the old man's face. He had lived for so many years without ever being threatened like this. "If you give me, Ruoshui Old Man, a way to live, I can consider taking you as my disciple and teach you the Water Supreme Path."
"Haha, a defeated foe dares to talk about taking me as a disciple? I never expected Ruo Shui Laozu, who dominated the Cultivation world three thousand years ago, to be so naive. If you have no value left, I will end your pitiful life right now!" Zhao Yang threatened, his lightning intensifying. Ruo Shui Laozu was highly renowned in the Cultivation world; among the hundred thousand books, one titled Extraordinary Person Notes had a very high evaluation of him.
"Stop! I possess a treasure, the mother body of water formed from the essence of a ten-thousand-year-old Water Spirit. It is a legendary Divine Artifact known as Water Linglong Young Body. It has been nurtured for three thousand years and should be mature by now. Although it is not the true Water Linglong, its effects should not be lacking. With Water Linglong in hand, cultivators can move through water as if they were invisible. If I had taken out Water Linglong earlier, these two fellows from the Tribulation Period would not have been my match at all." The Short Old Man hesitated but eventually revealed his treasured possession.
"Good, go fetch it now," Zhao Yang commanded as he inserted a strand of Chaos True Qi into Ruo Shui Laozu's brain and then released the restrictions on him. "Don't doubt it; Chaos True Qi has already taken root in your mind. If you harbor any ill intentions, just one thought from me will be enough to ensure your utter destruction."
Upon hearing Zhao Yang's words, Ruo Shui Laozu turned pale. There was no trace of defiance left in his heart as he jumped into the lake. Before long, he returned with a water orb as large as a grinding disc. The orb shimmered slightly blue and radiated Spirit Energy; it was clearly a treasure that made Zhao Yang's Spirit Pearl around his neck emit a joyful buzzing sound.
Zhao Yang reached out and summoned Water Linglong, which transformed into a small water droplet that flew into his hand. Ruo Shui Laozu secretly clicked his tongue at this scene; this was not an illusion but genuine skill in shrinking large objects.
"Mother, this is for you. I won't need it myself. With the Water Avoidance Technique, even if I can't be invincible in water domains, no one can do anything to me." Zhao Yang's greatest concern was for his mother, He Qing. Her cultivation was the lowest among them, and her Spiritual Root talent was poor. Although consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could help improve her cultivation, she still had an ordinary person's aptitude and could not withstand too much medicinal impact on her meridians. With this water treasure, not only could it nourish her body and enhance her cultivation, but it could also subtly change her aptitude and serve as protection in times of danger.
