Chapter 1923: Chapter 1008: Heavenly Thunder

Li Shiming felt something in his heart, he looked up at the thunderclouds overhead, and found that this was no ordinary Heavenly Tribulation thundercloud.

Although he didn’t know much about this thundercloud, he was very aware that it was not a normal Heavenly Tribulation thundercloud.

In this world, if anyone had experienced the most Heavenly Tribulations, it would definitely be him.

During the Nascent Soul Stage, he had refined many Corpse Refinements, and at the Peak Great Cultivator Realm, he had refined over two hundred half-step fifth-grade Spirit Pets. With so many experiences of Heavenly Tribulations, coupled with the calculations and analyses of the IBMz15, just a glance at a Heavenly Tribulation was enough for him to discern its power and scale.

But the thunderclouds above were unlike any Heavenly Tribulation he had ever seen.

Its power had reached the peak of a half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation due to the involvement of 108 ’Eternal Water Bears’.

Yet, the energy within the thunderclouds was continuously replenished, giving him the feeling that this time the number of Heavenly Thunder strikes would be far more than nine.

With a ’boom’, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended.

He stood in the void, feeling the Heavenly Thunder fall upon him, but it was blocked outside by the armor formed by the ’Eternal Water Bears’.

This kind of opportunity to safely sense Heavenly Thunder up close was not something that happened often.

He sensed the Heavenly Thunder as it descended, struck the ’Eternal Water Bears’, and then transformed into countless flickering lightning arcs. The violent Thunder Rules contained within it were all perceived by him.

Vaguely, his understanding of the Thunder Rules improved.

At the same time, in his five Grotto Heavens, the Thunder Rule Runes continuously emitted light.

The first bolt of Heavenly Thunder did not harm him, and there was only a breath’s interval between the second bolt of Heavenly Thunder and the first.

If normal Heavenly Tribulations were like this, no cultivator could possibly pass them.

As bolts of Heavenly Thunder fell, Li Shiming immersed himself in the Thunder Rules contained within, and his comprehension of the Thunder Rules deepened continuously.

Unknowingly, the Heavenly Thunder reached the tenth strike, yet the thunderclouds in the sky showed no signs of dissipating, nor did they change much.

Although Li Shiming’s main brain was absorbed in the understanding of the Thunder Rules, his other minds were distinctly aware of the number of Heavenly Thunder strikes.

He finally understood why those half-step Great Powers did not dare to leave their Grotto Heavens, as what they faced was not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation, but a wiping out by heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Tribulation is a test of living beings by heaven and earth, a test designed to eliminate unqualified beings.

But the wiping out by heaven and earth was different, it was not intended for half-step Great Powers to survive at all.

Li Shiming did not know that the half-step Great Ability Realm for human cultivators was established through constructing Grotto Heavens to evade rejection by heaven and earth.

Once one’s Grotto Heaven is constructed, the half-step Great Power carries the aura of another world.

Since the Grotto Heaven was not yet stabilized, the aura of another world on the half-step Great Power could not be concealed at all.

This aura of another world entering the main world was naturally unacceptable to heaven and earth, making it no longer a matter of passing the tribulation but eliminating those who do not belong to this world.

The experience that half-step Great Powers in the Cultivation World do not leave their Grotto Heavens comes from countless historical lessons written in blood and tears.

After enduring over ninety strikes of Heavenly Thunder, Li Shiming no longer wished to remain outside.

Truly, as each wave of Heavenly Thunder descended, even though the ’Eternal Water Bears’ could resist, under such endless assaults, there was a limit to ’Eternal Water Bears’ endurance.

With a flash, he returned to his Grotto Heaven.

As he disappeared, only the ’Daoist Golden Lotus’ was left at the original spot.

The thunderclouds in the sky also dissipated after the target vanished.

However, the happenings here aroused the attention of several super forces.

The ’Daoist Golden Lotus’ flashed with light, disappearing from its original place through Space Movement, subsequently entering the sea, constantly employing Space Movement to travel far away within the sea.

He was reluctant to stir up trouble, and in his current state, staying inside his Grotto Heaven obediently was the wisest move, as fighting against others accompanied by Heavenly Thunder was not a wise choice.

Li Shiming took a glance at Yin Shilan, who was observing the rules, sensing the rule fluctuations on Yin Shilan.

This made him chuckle lightly. Although Yin Shilan’s talent was insufficient, under his full cultivation, the chances of Yin Shilan advancing to half-step Great Ability were not small.

He had already made preparations. Once Yin Shilan met the conditions for advancement, he would direct Yin Shilan’s spirit to face the ’Divine Perception Stele’ simulated by the IBMz15.

Although that virtual ’Divine Perception Stele’ provided little assistance to him, for the relatively ordinary Yin Shilan, it could effectively guide her to advance to half-step Great Ability.

Even if Yin Shilan could not remember the illusionary experiences gained from the virtual ’Divine Perception Stele’, the IBMz15 could, allowing Yin Shilan to review them repeatedly, which would eventually increase her chances of advancement.

"Huh!" Li Shiming exclaimed as his gaze swept across the Cave Heaven Core, noticing the change in the ’Thunder Rule Imprint’.

He was extremely familiar with his own Grotto Heaven.

The ’Thunder Rule Imprint’ before he left was still at the early stage of half-step Great Ability, but now it had stabilized at the early stage of half-step Great Power.

Among these rules, the Thunder Rules were relatively weaker.

Since the avatar Li Yuanba had not cultivated the Thunder Rules, Li Shiming’s Thunder Rules could not benefit from Li Yuanba, who had already advanced to half-step Great Ability. This meant that the Thunder Rules had relied entirely on themselves for advancing to half-step Great Ability, beginning to contact half-step Great Power Level Thunder Rules after constructing the Grotto Heaven.
