Supreme Summoner (Volume 14)

Chapter 781 A Chance Encounter with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, A Spirit Beast’s Transformation

The sound had come suddenly, but upon careful listening, it did not seem like people were fighting.

Ye Xuanyue and Leng Moran exchanged a look and moved quickly in the direction of the noise. Soon, they discovered its source.

Ye Xuanyue was slightly surprised.

In the Celestial Vault...purple lightning flashed!

But the lightning was concentrated only in one area. Everywhere else remained calm, showing no trace of disturbance. The sky looked peaceful except for that single stormy region, which appeared violent and terrifying.

What was this?

Ye Xuanyue blinked.

She heard the person beside her send a mental message:

“This should be a Transformation Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.”

Ye Xuanyue’s expression was dazed at first, but she quickly understood.

So this was the Transformation Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Actually, Spirit Beasts did not necessarily experience their Thunder Tribulation only during Transformation. Some Spirit Beasts, like the Thunder Kirin, were born imbued with the power of lightning, so they faced Thunder Tribulations far more frequently than ordinary Spirit Beasts.

But for many common Spirit Beasts, the Transformation Thunder Tribulation was a major hurdle. Not all could successfully pass through it.

This Thunder Tribulation was not especially powerful, but enduring it was equivalent to undergoing a severe baptism.

It was Ye Xuanyue’s first time witnessing a Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

Her gaze remained fixed forward, but she heard Leng Moran continue his mental message:

“The one undergoing Transformation seems to be a snake-type Spirit Beast. Judging by the intensity of this Thunder Tribulation, this snake is very likely a Sacred Beast.”

Ye Xuanyue and Leng Moran stood far away; there was no need to move closer. Her eyes stayed on the scene before her, but she heard Leng Moran add,

“We can’t get too close. The Spirit Beast at this moment is extremely vigilant.

It wouldn’t be good if it misunderstood us.”

Ye Xuanyue steadied herself and simply stood to the side, watching intently as the Spirit Beast endured its Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

Her own Spirit Beasts would have to pass this trial sooner or later. The fastest one, most likely, would be Hei Yao.

In the Celestial Vault, streaks of purple Divine Thunder radiance appeared dazzling, making hearts tremble in shock. The next moment, an intensely loud, rumbling roar exploded beside Ye Xuanyue’s ears.

Ye Xuanyue watched motionlessly.

The scene was breathtaking. The descent of those deep purple streaks of Divine Thunder was truly heart-stopping. She took a deep breath.

And that snake actually rose to meet the Divine Thunder.

Countless streaks of lightning struck its body. In that instant, Ye Xuanyue even felt she could hear a tragic, mournful cry.

This kind of pure, natural force inspired awe far stronger than any spell or art.

Ye Xuanyue inhaled sharply.

Leng Moran looked at the girl beside him, pursed his lips, and then sent a mental message:

“The higher the level of the Spirit Beast, the more powerful the Thunder Tribulation it must endure.

There is also a special case: Mutant Spirit Beasts must endure Thunder Tribulations several times stronger than ordinary ones.

It is common for Mutant Spirit Beasts to fail. Heaven itself seems to dislike mutation...any Mutant Spirit Beast will find its future path several times more difficult than that of ordinary Spirit Beasts.”

Ye Xuanyue’s expression gradually grew serious.

What worried her most was Hei Yao.

She lifted her head, watching the Divine Thunder that showed no sign of stopping, wildly descending. The Spirit Snake continuously let out shrieks of pain.

If she was not mistaken, that Spirit Snake possessed cultivation strength at least at the Martial Emperor level or above.

But under this overwhelming Divine Thunder, it appeared weak.

Ye Xuanyue clenched her fist. Her gaze was fixed intensely on the scene before her, utterly focused.

The snake lifted its head; from afar, purple flowing light shimmered across its body. Parts of its flesh struck by the Divine Thunder had already turned charred black.

Its appearance was utterly miserable.

Yet the purple light surrounding its body grew denser and stronger.

Leng Moran’s voice became tense:

“This is the moment. Success or failure depends on now...if it can withstand the final few streaks of Divine Thunder, the Transformation will succeed.”

Though he said that, the Divine Thunder in the Celestial Vault grew increasingly shocking.

Ye Xuanyue’s hand clenched tightly into a fist. The next moment, she lifted her head and saw a streak of Divine Thunder imbued with intense purple wildly strike down.

The dazzling intensity of this radiance was ten times greater than any before.

It was almost blinding. It was hard to imagine what it would feel like for a Spirit Beast to be struck by something of such magnitude.

Ye Xuanyue looked at the streak of Thunder Radiance.

Her heart ached a little for her own little baby dragon.

She had already successfully transformed, which meant she had endured a Thunder Tribulation like this.

She was a Divine Beast; even with the Dragon Clan’s naturally tough physique, the process must have been perilous.

And she had been so small back then…

Yet from beginning to end, Qian Duoduo had always smiled, never mentioning the pain of enduring that Thunder Tribulation.

That little fool…

Was she afraid I would worry too much?

Ye Xuanyue clenched her fist. In her heart, she was certain that one day she would bring Qian Duoduo out from the Dragon Clan. She took a deep breath and lifted her head. The next moment, a furious roar echoed in her ears.

That streak of Thunder Radiance struck the Spirit Snake fiercely.

The Spirit Snake’s form writhed wildly in the Celestial Vault, giving Ye Xuanyue the impression that it was on the verge of complete exhaustion.

Her heart tightened.

Could it be… was this Spirit Snake about to fail?

But the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Ye Xuanyue looked up and saw a blinding white light suddenly break through the air from the far end of the Celestial Vault, pouring directly into the Spirit Snake’s body.

This blinding white light seemed to give the Spirit Snake a surge of strength, instantly revitalizing it. It shook its head sharply.

The next moment, the purple Thunder Radiance slowly flowed entirely into its body.

The snake was enveloped by the purple radiance; for a moment, nothing could be seen clearly.

Leng Moran’s gaze shifted slightly. He spoke aloud:

“This Spirit Snake succeeded.

However… it only succeeded because someone helped it.”

It had absorbed all of the Thunder Radiance, so its post-Transformation form was likely to be quite perfect.

But the one who dared to intervene during the Thunder Tribulation...that person was truly formidable. A Thunder Tribulation was something a Spirit Beast had to endure alone. The Master of that white light had acted rashly; was he not afraid of incurring Karmic Retribution?

Leng Moran’s gaze projected into the distance.

Ye Xuanyue watched the snake motionlessly until the Thunder Radiance dissipated.

What appeared in the Celestial Vault was a man with long black hair.

His eyes were a dark green color.

He lowered his head and looked toward Ye Xuanyue and Leng Moran.
