Chapter 1163: Chapter 733: The Encounter of the Two Thunder Emperors Chapter 1163: Chapter 733: The Encounter of the Two Thunder Emperors “Master, save me, please save me, hiss, it's…it's too painful!”
The Stone Monkey cried out frantically while dodging the thunderbolts falling from the sky.
To Jiang Hui's surprise, moments later, the Stone Monkey actually sensed his presence and even pinpointed his location.
Having barely dodged a thunderbolt strike, it immediately started to scream desperately for help in his direction.
Although he hadn't deliberately concealed his aura or form.
But to be able to sense him from so far away, the Stone Monkey truly had enormous potential.
With a slight smile, Jiang Hui then murmured, his voice as faint as a mosquito's whine, but the meaning was as clear as a resonant bell, reaching the Stone Monkey's ears.
“Don't cry out chaotically, cross it by yourself, if you make it across, you'll be free and easy; if you don't, I will handle your corpse, rest assured, I'll definitely choose a good yin gathering place for your burial!”
Upon hearing these words, the Stone Monkey's expression became extremely sullen.
It knew that its master would definitely not lend a hand.
“Bullshit Heavenly Tribulation, show some respect to your Grandpa Monkey if you can actually hit me!”
The Stone Monkey let out a piercing scream, channeling all its anguish and resentment onto the thunderbolts descending from the skies.
Its fur seemed to catch a golden fire under the illumination of the thunder and lightning.
It moved even more agilely and used its inborn Divine Skills freely, enlarging or shrinking its body at will. Despite the Heavenly Tribulation becoming impenetrably dense, the Stone Monkey always found an opportunity to exploit.
One was running madly, the other closely pursuing from behind; although every path of escape seemed cut off, there was always just one move short of capture at the end.
Watching the Stone Monkey's manner, it seemed as if it never considered taking on the Heavenly Tribulation head-on from the very start.
To be honest, such a method of transcending tribulation was also new to Jiang Hui.
In the past, even when Shi Hao was transcending the Immortal King phase, it was a matter of direct confrontation, boasting the strength to shatter all barriers, thus smashing through the rolling thunder to succeed in the tribulation.
However, Jiang Hui did not stop the Stone Monkey's method of transcending the tribulation.
Firstly, the counterpart was currently under the Heavenly Tribulation, and if he wanted to intervene, he would have to personally take action to dispel the thunder.
Doing so could indeed dodge the tribulation, but in a sense, it would not be considered a successful transcension, and the enhancement it would bring would not be as significant.
In the past, when cultivators transcended tribulation, they were always keen on seeking shortcuts, such as treasures capable of countering or neutralizing the Heavenly Tribulation, or else asking a powerful clan member for help.
These two methods could indeed mitigate the might of the Heavenly Tribulation to some extent, but just like forcing a sapling to grow, the recognition from the Great Taoist was not high.
It resulted in such disparity in strength between Immortal Kings where some seemed no more capable than ordinary civilians against warriors clad in armor and armed with sharp weapons, battle-hardened.
Secondly, it was because Jiang Hui could sense that the Stone Monkey's way of transcending the tribulation seemed to have already gained approval from the Heavenly Dao.
After all, whether it was a direct confrontation or otherwise, as long as oneself crosses the tribulation without reliance on external forces, then it's acceptable.
“Boom!”
Above the dark and oppressive heavens.
The sound of thunder became even more roaring and piercing.
Like a giant beast that had been completely enraged.
At the same time, the already curtain-like thunderbolts suddenly became even denser and thicker, and their power climbed several levels.
It seemed to be angry at how the Stone Monkey could dodge so nimbly?
Even though it possessed such a strong body, still so pathetic, what about some dignity?
Can't it learn from the others who faced the Heavenly Tribulation and show some toughness?
Jiang Hui watched with interest, unable to suppress a chuckle at the sight of the little stone monkey frantically dodging the Heavenly Tribulation.
At this point, he could already see the outcome; despite the Heavenly Tribulation appearing overwhelmingly vast, its actual damage to the stone monkey was limited.
Finally,
Several days passed.
Even though the Heavenly Tribulation seemed reluctant, as time was up, it slowly faded away with a series of angry roars.
The Heavenly Tribulation dispersed.
Rolling dark clouds transformed into brilliant white ones, and the gentle sunlight poured down.
The stone monkey sat cross-legged in the pit pockmarked by the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation, its aura flaring up like a candle doused in gasoline, rushing straight towards the clouds with a “hum…”
Looking over, the stone monkey's body was clear and radiant, as if it had been carved from jade. A transcendent quality flowed throughout its being.
After a long while, the stone monkey stood up from the ground, flexing its limbs with a succession of crisp joint sounds. It then lifted its head to take a deep breath towards the sky, and in an instant, it absorbed the essence of the surrounding heavens and earth within thousands of miles.
The stone monkey was truly a product of evolution from the Nuwa Sky Repair Stone, born naturally with talents so formidable that they were horrifying. While Ten Crown King, Banished Immortal Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and others still floundered at the True Immortal Extreme Peak Realm, the monkey had since overtaken them, successfully ascending to kingship.
A million years elapsed.
The once glorious Nine Heavens and Ten Earths undeniably became even more tattered and dilapidated.
It was like an ancient painting yellowed by the passage of time.
Above the Nine Heavens, the once dazzling stars grew dim and lightless, with only a few still flickering in the darkness, but they too were merely making their final struggle.
The magnificent temples that once proudly stood upon this land had long become ruins, with weathered and crumbled walls, earth, and broken tiles scattered all around.
However, all this was due to Jiang Hui's intervention.
The current ending was much, much better than that in the original tale.
After all, according to the original course, this land should have been the burial ground for countless beings and objects.
Whether they were individuals of great talent and strategy or those with extraordinary gifts, at the eve of the Era's end, they were nothing more than fish on the chopping board.
But now, those who should have been buried in this land were still alive, with even brighter prospects.
Such as Qin Chang Sheng, Nine-headed Lion, or Xiao Tian, who was once prominent.
Many worthy individuals had survived the Age of Doom, surviving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths eroded by Dark Forces, and even made some name for themselves in the Immortal Domain.
Still, there were some whose talents were simply too poor; even in the Fairy World, they found it difficult to reach a high Realm.
The Spiritual Energy in the Fairy World cleansed the physical body and could indeed prolong life to a certain extent, but the most fundamental factor influencing lifespan was one's own Realm. This is the essence of the saying “self-strength is necessary to forge iron.”
Compared to the original timeline, many more living forces had been preserved by now.
Under the guidance of Jiang Hui, Lei Zhentian rushed lightning-fast towards the Yuan Heavenly Secret Realm.
This Secret Realm was well-preserved and had not suffered much damage.
Within the realm, it saw a scene,
A group of Thunder Spirits carrying a majestic body across the starry sky, desolate and poignant.
From that grand body, Lei Zhentian felt a throbbing connection of bloodline.
Instinctively, he reached out to touch the scene.
The image, originally intangible, rippled like water as it seemed to solidify under his touch.
