43: The power of origin!

"[Detected Heavenly Tribulation, Shield Activated!]"

The next moment, a golden light erupted from Lu Yu's body, transforming into a sphere of light that enveloped Lu Yu.

"What is that?"

Firebird exclaimed.

The golden light shield appeared extremely abruptly; Firebird hadn't detected any spiritual energy fluctuations before it materialized.

This indicated that either the shield wasn't powered by spiritual energy at all, or Lu Yu's strength was so immense that Firebird couldn't perceive the energy's operation.

Bang!

In an instant, lightning struck down, directly hitting the golden shield.

Lu Yu was a bit nervous; he didn't know if this seemingly thin shield could withstand the immense Heavenly Tribulation, so his entire body's spiritual energy was on standby, ready to erupt and defend if the shield failed.

However, the next moment, the thunder dissipated without a trace, while the golden light shield remained completely unharmed, as steady as a mountain.

Being struck by the Heavenly Tribulation was like a gentle breeze to the golden light shield, causing no change whatsoever.

"[Please rest assured, Host, the shield will block all Heavenly Tribulations, protecting you from harm!]"

Just as Lu Yu was shocked, the system's prompt appeared again.

At this, Lu Yu was completely relieved; one could say that even if he didn't trust himself, he would trust the system, as it was his greatest trump card.

Rumble—

Once the Heavenly Tribulation began, it was relentless.

The descriptions in those cultivation novels, where the Heavenly Tribulation descends one by one, giving the cultivator ample time to prepare, are complete nonsense.

No one gives their opponent time to prepare during an attack, and neither does Heaven.

The Heavenly Tribulation descended one after another, as if the world was ending.

Each lightning strike that descended had a random power; some were as thin as a finger, while others were as thick as an elephant's leg.

Watching Lu Yu, who was leisurely and seemingly unfazed by the Heavenly Tribulation, Firebird and the others' gazes shifted from shock to numbness, and then to fanaticism.

When Lu Yu displayed the strength to fight ten at once, they were merely fearful, but not convinced.

When Lu Yu displayed the strength to break through to Tier B, they found it hard to believe.

Only now, after Lu Yu demonstrated the ability to treat the Heavenly Tribulation as nothing, were they truly convinced, wholeheartedly.

Firebird and the others also began to look forward to Lu Yu successfully passing the lightning tribulation and becoming a Tier B Ferocious Beasts.

Lu Yu had said he would take them as his subordinates then!

To acknowledge the only Tier B Ferocious Beasts in the world as their boss, they felt nothing but excitement.

Rumble—

The lightning tribulation lasted for a full ten minutes, during which hundreds of lightning bolts descended, the weakest of which could turn a D-rank ferocious beast directly into ashes, while the strongest could even turn a Tier A ferocious beast into ashes!

Lu Yu watched the dissipating thunderclouds, sighing in relief.

If not for the system's golden light shield, facing the lightning tribulation without any preparation, he would have had no chance of passing it.

Fortunately, the system was powerful enough.

However, this lightning tribulation gave Lu Yu, who was gradually becoming complacent, a wake-up call; although his current strength could be said to be unparalleled among all fierce beasts, he was not completely invincible.

In this world, there were still beings that could threaten him.

Therefore, he must be cautious in his future actions, lest he suffer a setback.

"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully passing the Heavenly Tribulation and advancing to Tier B!]"

The moment the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, the system's prompt popped up, and at the same time, a powerful aura erupted from Lu Yu.

This was the power that belonged to Tier B!

Feeling the immense power within his body, Lu Yu was somewhat puzzled, because, logically speaking, a Tier B Ferocious Beasts should at least comprehend a source and evolve a corresponding skill from that source.

But currently, Lu Yu hadn't fully comprehended any source, let alone evolved a skill of his own from it.

Just then, the system's prompt popped up:

"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully advancing to Tier B, you have gained an opportunity to fully comprehend a source. It is detected that you currently possess Wind-type and Lightning-type talents. You can choose one of them to fully comprehend!]"

Looking at the sudden pop-up, Lu Yu smiled.

As expected, it truly was his golden finger, so powerful!

Isn't this like getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket?

Others first comprehend a source, and after countless activations of that source, they evolve their own skills, finally advancing to Tier B.

If they couldn't comprehend a source or evolve a skill, they would never have a chance with Tier B in this life, but Lu Yu did the opposite.

Shaking his head, he slightly suppressed the excitement in his heart and focused his attention on the system.

Wind-type source and Lightning-type source.

The choice given by the system was entirely based on his current talents.

Fortunately, he had previously acquired the Thunder Control talent; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have a choice and would only be able to choose Wind-type.

And now, Lu Yu didn't even hesitate before directly choosing the Lightning-type source.

This wasn't to say that the Wind-type source wasn't strong.

It was just that based on Lu Yu's experience using them, it was clear that the Lightning-type offered a greater increase in combat power.

If he chose the Lightning-type, the evolved skill would likely be primarily focused on destructive power.

The Wind-type, on the other hand, was more geared towards supportive effects, with relatively weaker destructive power.

If he chose the Wind-type, the evolved skill might not satisfy Lu Yu.

"I choose to comprehend the Lightning-type source."

Lu Yu made his choice.

Instantly, everything in front of Lu Yu stopped; the shock on Firebird's face and the joy on Little White Fox's face were frozen.

Time-space solidified!

At this moment, the entire world pressed the pause button.

Then, Lu Yu's vision went black, and when he regained it, he had already arrived in another world.

This world was filled with countless lightning bolts.

From ordinary lightning to powerful Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, World-Destroying Demonic Lightning, Heaven and Earth Lightning, and so on.

Lightning pools, lightning forests, lightning lands; everything in this world was composed of lightning.

And at this moment, Lu Yu had also transformed into a bolt of lightning, traversing within the world of electricity.

At the same time, various information about lightning continuously surged into Lu Yu's mind. Once he completely mastered the lightning he had currently transformed into, he would become an even more powerful bolt of lightning.

Improving step by step.

All the lightning in this world was experienced by Lu Yu one by one.

Time seemed to lose its meaning; Lu Yu didn't even know how much time had passed.

Perhaps a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years.

Lu Yu had now completely transformed into lightning!

Just as Lu Yu mastered the last bolt of lightning, the world before him suddenly shattered, turning into an illusion.

"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully mastering the Lightning-type source. Please choose one of the following skills as your source skill!]"

"[Thunder Roar!]"

"[Thunder Descent!]"

"[Transform into Lightning!]"
