Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: The Thunderbolt Bead Takes Center Stage
An hour later, Ye Fei, who had been struck another hundred tis, once again reached his limit. The thunder tribulation was ant to help cultivators strengthen their ridians, purify their internal energy, and temper their physical forms.
Of course, if one’s foundation wasn’t solid enough, the tribulation would no longer be a help but the deadliest weapon.
If it were a regular thunder tribulation—one that only struck a maximum of ninety-nine tis—Ye Fei would have handled it with ease. However, the tribulation he faced was endless.
The first nine thousand or so strikes had completely reinforced his ridians and physical form.
The subsequent strikes were no longer beneficial but actual attacks.
At this point, Ye Fei felt his body on the brink of collapse. Even Wang Yueryao, watching from a distance, could tell sothing was wrong.
When Ye Fei first transford, the thunder striking him barely seed to affect him.
But now, his nearly ten-foot-tall, imposing fra was covered in electric arcs. Although he looked even more majestic, almost like a god of thunder descending to earth, this change was not a good sign.
Of course, Wang Yueryao had no idea just how perilous Ye Fei’s situation was, but Ye Fei himself was acutely aware—if another bolt of thunder struck, his body would start to disintegrate. And after another hundred or so strikes, he would be reduced to ashes.
At this mont, Ye Fei’s heart was filled with frustration. He was only seventeen; his life had barely begun, and now he was about to die in this inexplicable thunderstorm. Did the heavens truly not allow exceptionally talented people to live?
Moreover, if he died, what would happen to his mother? His younger sister?
And what about the won he loved?
Even if they didn’t die with him, they would live the rest of their lives in agony. For Ye Fei, this was even harder to accept than his own death.
But no matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do. The damned valley had no way out, and the relentless thunder struck so quickly that he didn’t even have ti to dodge. He could only withstand it with his body.
However, giving up easily was not in Ye Fei’s nature.
As long as he hadn’t been completely annihilated, he would never give up. He clenched his fists, roared, and punched the mountainside beside him with all his might.
With a “boom,” the entire valley trembled from Ye Fei’s punch. The mountainside, which had previously only left a fist-sized imprint, now had a hole as big as a head.
It seed that after being tempered by the thunder, his physical strength had increased by dozens of tis!
Realizing this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but regret that he hadn’t thought of it sooner. If he had, he could have carved out a decent-sized cave in the mountainside and hidden inside.
Wouldn’t that have been safe? No matter how powerful the thunder was, could it bend and strike him inside a cave?
But now wasn’t the ti for regrets, and Ye Fei knew that this idea was just wishful thinking. He could now create such a large hole because his physical enhancent was complete.
If he had tried earlier, it would have been almost useless, just like before.
Ye Fei’s body could now withstand at most another hundred strikes, which was less than an hour. Although this ti was enough for him to throw hundreds of punches, how much of a difference could a few hundred punches make?
Ye Fei had also considered using the two indestructible giant swords in his spatial ring to dig a cave, but he quickly abandoned the idea. Although he didn’t know what material the swords were made of, they were definitely tallic. And tal’s attraction and conduction of lightning…
If it sohow attracted an even stronger bolt of lightning, he would be done for. So, it was better to stick with using his fists; at least that way, he still had so hope.
All of this took a while to explain, but in reality, only half a minute had passed. Ye Fei raised his fist, but before he could throw the second punch, the sky lit up again, and he prepared to take the hit.
At that very mont, sothing unexpected happened!
Ye Fei’s spatial ring automatically opened, and a deep blue sphere, about the size of a fist and surrounded by electric arcs, floated out and hovered above Ye Fei’s head.
Then, a bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel struck down, but this ti it didn’t hit Ye Fei. Instead, it struck the sphere and was silently absorbed.
The Thunderbolt Bead! It was the bead that had exploded out when he defeated the Thunder God!
Ever since he obtained it, Ye Fei had possessed the power of lightning, but he had never used it in combat, only for traveling and in strange ways, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
He never expected that it could not only grant him lightning power but also absorb lightning, and it had just saved him in this critical mont.
Ye Fei had always taken the items he obtained for granted, considering his own strength was already formidable and he didn’t need external aids.
But now it seed that these items could provide the greatest help in unexpected monts. So, he made up his mind that in the future, when he defeated powerful enemies, he would definitely use his barbarian transformation.
Who knows, he might get sothing as amazing as the Thunderbolt Bead.
But that was for later. The imdiate priority was to dig a cave in the mountainside. Who knew what the absorption limit of the Thunderbolt Bead was?
If it couldn’t hold on any longer, the tribulation wasn’t over, and he had nowhere to hide, that would be disastrous.
With the Thunderbolt Bead absorbing the tribulation, Ye Fei wasn’t afraid anymore. He took out the two giant swords from his spatial ring and plunged the one in his right hand into the mountainside with a “hiss.” It went in up to the hilt.
Using the tip of the sword as a pivot, he drew a circle with the blade, about a ter in diater, on the mountainside.
Then, with a pull, he removed a conical rock with a base diater of a ter and a length of nearly two ters. This was much faster than using his fists.
With the help of the two indestructible swords, Ye Fei’s cave-digging speed was incredibly fast.
In less than an hour, he had carved out a cave over two ters high, more than a ter wide, and about ten ters deep in the mountainside.
Then Ye Fei stopped and went back outside the cave—digging further was pointless. If the thunder couldn’t bend, this depth was enough.
If it could bend, then digging deeper wouldn’t help either.
After exiting the cave, Ye Fei looked towards his grandmother in the distance and saw her curled up her sexy body, arms wrapped around her ample chest, leaning against a large rock, fast asleep.
Seeing this, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Ye Fei’s face.
