Chapter 917 : The Ruins of Endless Thunder Mountain

Eldrin shook his head and spoke with a light laugh, "Since you've only recently broken through, it would be best to first refine your spiritual treasures and consolidate your cultivation."

A few days later, Eldrin brought along Chen Ethan, and the 2 set off toward the Eastern Sea cultivation realm.

They tore through the void as they traveled, arriving shortly after in a desolate sea region blanketed by a thunderous ocean.

"This is..."

Gazing at the desolate stretch of ocean before him, Chen Ethan took an involuntary deep breath and spoke with hesitation in his voice.

Eldrin nodded, his expression serene as he gazed at the sea engulfed in a tempest of lightning before him. "Indeed, this is the Thunder Tribulation Sea."

The Sea of Tribulation Thunder, as the name suggests, is a vast expanse of ocean teeming with endless lightning. It earned this name due to the perpetual, boundless thunderstorms that blanket its waters. Moreover, the terrifying and immeasurable power of these storms has also given rise to its alternate title: the Sea of Calamity Thunder.

This Thunder Tribulation Sea was 1 of the most terrifying forbidden lands in the Violet Realm, possessing an incomparably ancient origin.

It is said that the core 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Mountain was once the sacred ground of the Violet Realm's apex power—the Thunderbolt Temple.

As early as 80,000 years ago, the Thunder Palace stood alongside the Blaze Palace, Stellar Palace, and Profound Mysteries Palace as the 4 great divine halls of the Violet Realm.

Among the 4 great divine halls, the Thunderclap Hall stood as the foremost. During its glorious era tens of thousands of years ago, this lineage boasted over a 100 Nascent Soul Dao Lords, and even 3 half-immortal Patriarchs.

Alas, the Great Cataclysm of the Violet Realm erupted later. The Hall of Thundering Might, situated deep within the Eastern Sea, bore the brunt of the impact and became the front line against the Outer Realm Demons.

During the first Abyssal Cataclysm, the Thunderclap Sanctuary exhausted its accumulated foundations. Dozens of Nascent Soul Dao Lords, including 3 Demigod Ancestors (Cultivation Realm), all fell in battle. Even the sole Near-Immortal grade Thunder Ancestral Vein within the Purple Realm was shattered.

From that day forth, the 'Thunderclap Palace,' 1 of the 3 great halls of the Violet Realm, was erased from existence. It could be said this was an incomparably brutal and devastating conflict.

After the destruction of the Thunder Primordial Vein, boundless thunder power dispersed and formed an immensely magnificent thunderstorm sea over the Eastern Ocean—the very Thunder Tribulation Sea now before our eyes.

Now, after tens of thousands of years, the heavenly tribulations within the Sea of Thunder Tribulations still rage ceaselessly day and night, as if carrying the fierce, unyielding resentment of the fallen heroes of the Thunderbolt Temple—an eternal turmoil that can never be fully quelled.

"Sea of Heavenly Tribulation, Hall of Thunders... Alas..."

Eldrin let out a soft sigh before speaking, "My divination reveals a thread of vitality brewing deep within this Cataclysmic Thunder Tribulation. It seems some unforeseen change has occurred within."

"This place embodies both heavenly tribulation and vital energy, making it a supreme training ground to temper my physical form. It may even help me advance my body refinement cultivation to the next level."

Chen Ethan nodded, then couldn’t help but ask, “Then why has Uncle brought me here?”

"My calculations indicate that the inner tribulation's power of nirvanic extinction here may assist you in cultivating Nirvanic Extinction Magical Power."

Eldrin spoke calmly, then swept up Chen Ethan and flew straight toward the heart of the Lightning Tribulation Sea.

"Boom!"

Upon entering the Sea of Heavenly Tribulation, the sky was instantly engulfed by overwhelming bolts of lightning that swept across the horizon.

Eldrin, however, showed no trace of fear. For the sake of Chen Ethan, he summoned the Primordial Chaos True Aura to shield against the heavenly tribulation, advancing relentlessly through the storm of lightning.

No 1 knew how long they had flown. After traversing a deafening ocean of thunder, the 2 finally arrived in a desolate and shattered expanse of sea.

This was a dilapidated island, strewn with crumbling ruins and shattered walls. A palace once constructed from piled jade gemstones now lay in utter disrepair.

Only shattered bricks and tiles cast from jade lay scattered everywhere, as if whispering tales of past glory.

The Ruins of the Thunderclap Hall.

Eldrin murmured under his breath, unable to suppress a sigh. "Even such a glorious immortal lineage could 1 day fall into decline?"

"Eldest Uncle, watch out..."

At that very moment, Chen Ethan couldn't help but exclaim aloud.

Then a deafening roar erupted as a blaze of scorching lightning unfurled. A shattered sword wreathed in thunder soared through the air, cleaving toward its target.

The power of this sword strike was utterly terrifying. Streak after streak of lightning sword energy erupted from its edge, tearing countless fissures in the void.

"Hmph—"

Facing such a peerlessly lethal sword strike, Eldrin slightly furrowed his brow. With a casual flick of his finger, a brilliant arc of lightning erupted, instantly striking the shattered sword and sending it flying backward.

Yet at that very moment, another streak of lightning soared through the sky, sweeping across with overwhelming thunderous force.

Eldrin raised the Earthen Sovereign Bell to block the strike, then finally lifted his gaze to see a figure clad in violet thunder-patterned robes soaring through the air toward him.

The newcomer was clad in a violet robe embroidered with lightning patterns, a gilded crown adorned his head, and crackling thunder coiled around his entire form.

His eyes blazed with incandescent lightning, rendering him as majestic as a supreme sovereign of thunder.

Slaughter them—

That figure was overwhelmingly domineering. With a single move, torrents of lightning cascaded down, and an endless surge of heavenly tribulation power swept forth, like a Ninth Heaven Thunder Sovereign enacting divine punishment on behalf of the heavens.

"Heavenly Tribulation Gives Birth to Life?"

Eldrin murmured, his pupils contracting slightly before quickly regaining their composure.

The newcomer possessed immense power, at least comparable to a peak existence at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. Yet, for someone of Eldrin's (Person Name) realm, even a Demi-Immortal could do nothing against him, let alone a mere Tribulation creature.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Eldrin wasted no further time. With a surge of primordial chaos energy, he summoned a colossal hand that blotted out the heavens and enveloped the earth.

That tribulation-born creature, its consciousness muddled and chaotic, seemed to have been born with overwhelming battle intent. Devoid of any trace of fear, it actually sought to throw itself into a fight to the death.

Yet Eldrin’s Primordial Chaos Giant Hand blotted out everything, seizing him firmly within its colossal grasp. No matter how fiercely he struggled, there was no breaking free.

"This is..."

Eldrin was about to annihilate the Thunder Tribulation creature when he faintly sensed something amiss.

This living thunder tribulation was formed from the convergence of overwhelming resentment, seemingly born from the fusion of soul fragments belonging to multiple immensely powerful beings, further tempered by the lightning tribulation.

Within it lay an extremely familiar aura of human soul energy, seemingly formed from the unwilling obsessions of the human patriarchs of old.

With this thought, Eldrin abandoned his intention to execute it outright. Instead, he immediately summoned overwhelming magical power, coiling it around the entity and firmly suppressing it within his grasp.

Having captured the creature born of the heavenly tribulation, Eldrin took a deep breath and said, "This is a manifestation of the heroic spirits of our human predecessors. To directly annihilate it would be too cruel."

"Stand guard for me. I shall attempt its deliverance."

I'll revise it shortly. This Thunder Tribulation creature was born from a convergence of overwhelming resentment, seemingly formed from the fused soul fragments of multiple immensely powerful beings, then tempered by heavenly lightning before giving rise to this sentient entity.

Within it lay an extremely familiar aura of human soul energy, seemingly formed from the unresolved obsessions of the human patriarchs of old.

With that thought, Eldrin abandoned his intention to execute the target outright. Instead, he channeled his overwhelming cultivation energy, sending forth a torrent of power that coiled around the figure and firmly suppressed it within his grasp.

Seizing the Thunder Tribulation creature, Eldrin (Person Name) finally drew a deep breath and said, "Please."
