Lightning Catastrophe 1.o.1

Mu En flew through the dense forest as he looked at the black clouds on the horizon. Thunder Nether Vine was a very rare spirit plant. And for Mu En's plan to succeed he had to devour it at all cost.

He remembered that after he devoured the Pit Demon Spider, he got its crowd control skill. The skill allowed him to freely manipulate his web to achieve different kinds of constructs like a cage.

Mu En had chosen by obtaining this particular plant type spirit beast after he had got the plant cultivation from Ah Yin. Devouring the plant meant that he will get its thunder absorption skill.

The thunder absorption skill was the sole reason he was coveting it. As it absorbed the lightning to increase its cultivation base, Mu En could easily cross the lightning tribulation.

....

Little Blue wiggled excitedly as he looked at the direction of his approaching Elder sister. As Ah Yin and Tang Hao showed themselves, Little Blue stretched his body and approached Ah Yin.

Tang Hao seeing this wanted to pounce immediately, but Ah Yin stopped him. He saw Ah Yin shaking her head, so he stayed quietly at the sideline, but, his vigilance was at its peak. One wrong move and he was ready to tear apart the blue silver grass approaching Ah Yin.

Ah, Yin too moved forward as she gently caressed the blue silver grass. Little Blue also felt a little weak from that. He was melting in her presence.

Ah Yin: " Little Blue, are you fine? Xiao Ya did not trouble you much, did she?"

The calm and beautiful voice of Ah Yin sounded.

Little Blue wrapped Ah Yin's finger as he shook a little indicating that he was fine and Xiao Ya did not trouble him.

Ah Yin smiled at the response. She spread her senses but she could feel neither Xiao Ya nor Mu En.

A small frown appeared on her beautiful face as she asked.

Ah Yin: " Where are Xiao Ya and Granpa Mu?"

Little Blue froze for a moment before his stretched body fell on the ground like he lost all his life energy. He was depressed when he remembered Xiao Ya leaving happily with Mu En.

But Ah Yin did not know that, so she panicked.

Ah Yin: " Don't tell me something happened to them? NO!"

Tang Hao also got a bit surprised but soon that surprise was replaced with worry. He could not see his beloved in pain like that.

Little Blue immediately straightened up as he frantically shook his body indicating that no such thing happened.

Ah Yin who was about tearing up stopped and became relieved.

Ah Yin: " So, where are they?"

Then Little Blue used his godly body movements to show that Mu En had wanted to go to the inner region to cultivate but Xiao Ya insisted ongoing so he took her too.

Ah Yin got worried about them as she knew how bloody the inner region was.

On the other side, Tang Hao was confused. He saw the little grass dance like a madman but surprisingly Ah Yin nodded towards it. His face immediately became ugly.

' Don't tell me that grass made her lose her mind!'

Not knowing the thoughts of Tang Hao, Ah Yin said with disappointment.

Ah Yin: " Dear, it seems that you don't have it in your fate to see Granpa Mu. Little Blue here said that Granpa Mu went to cultivate not too long ago. And according to my estimates, by the time he comes back, even our children will be old as us."

Tang Hao understood that Ah Yin implied that spirit beasts cultivated for a long time before they came back from 'seclusion'. He was a bit depressed when he got to know that he could not meet his father in law.

His clan had already left his side. The spirit hall was on his back trying to kill him and take his wife. He thought there would be someone at the least to bless him when he married Ah Yin but it seemed that even that was impossible now.

Tang Hao: " Xiao San (Ah Yin's nickname), don't worry about it. By the time he comes back, he will have a bigger surprise. GRANDCHILDREN FOR HIM OF COURSE!"

Ah Yin blushed a little as she touched her red cheeks.

Little Blue was going mad. He was going to explode.

Little Blue: ' DAMN HUMAN! YOU DARE TO FLIRT WITH ELDER SISTER IN FRONT OF ME!'

Then he hurriedly wrapped his branch around Ah Yin's finger as he shouted internally.

Little Blue: ' Thank Elder SIster for stopping me by wrapping my branches on her fingers else...th-this lord would have shown you your place.'

...

Mu En dropped down to a hill not too far away from his target. He did not have incredible eyes to see what the plant looked like from here, but, looking at the continuous lightning striking just at one place made him aware of the location of his target.

He took in a deep breath as he opened his status.

'STATUS'

[ Name: Mu En

Species: Man Faced Pit Demon Spider

Age: 42 years

Cultivation age: 98,000

Skills: { The WildFire Effect: }, { Nothingness} ]

If someone had checked his status before then they would find a few changes. First, his real age, he was now already 42 years old. Then his cultivation age which was nearly that of a hundred thousand, just shying away a measly 2,000 years from it.

And the last but the thing that was the most important, skill. There was one more skill in his arsenal now. This skill nothingness was something he received from Xiao Wu. It turned out she was already a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast but god knew why she still thought herself as not one.

The skill nothingness provided what she would have given Tang San when she had sacrificed herself in the future. There were lots of skills. But the skills that would help Mu En at this situation were namely, Paragon Golden Body and Nullity.

Paragon Golden body formed a 'shield' surrounding him from all directions. Under its effect all the attacks were useless. But it had a bit of a shortcoming, it could be used only 3 times a day. On the other hand, Nullity nullified 100% of the physical attack and 80% of the spiritual attack he faced.

Both were very useful but looking at the situation, but, Nullity was probably the better choice. First of all, it did not consume much of his soul power too.

Secondly, it did not have any kind of use limit. Thirdly, mobility would not be affected.

And the last reason was that lightning only affected the physical body, there was no attack on the spiritual origin.

Mu En then used his teleportation ability, which he also got from Xiao Wu. He took in a deep breath and calmed his heart, which was beating violently. If he could succeed, he would also become a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast, and he would be able to proceed with his plans.

Zoom!

Mu En's figure suddenly appeared above the Thunder Clap Nether Vine. He felt his body shake due to the crazy amount of energy condensed in the area. At the moment, he also understood that these so-called strongest plant type spirit beast did not die due to the continuous lightning strike over their body.

They could not hold out due to the massive energy that condensed around them. This massive energy acted like a different gravity zone, putting the Thunder Clap Nether Vine in great pressure. And this pressure only accumulated in the coming years, which at the end took their lives.

But it was also due to this 'force field' that they were very protected. Even a titled douluo without measures against this could only resign his fate to death. But Mu En was different.

First, different from the normal Titled Douluo, he had a very strong body, mainly due to him being a spirit beast and also due to the consumption of the many spirit beast. If one were to compare, in his 'age group' nobody had a body strong like him. He could say with pride that his body was, currently, as strong as a 200,000-year-old spirit beast.

Secondly, he could use the Golden Paragon Body and Nullity simultaneously, which made him invulnerable for a few seconds. If the opponent was not a divine being, he was sure to be able to stop any kind of attack. In other words, due to these specific skills, he was able to become invincible under the heavens, for a few seconds.

Lastly, he did not need to use lightning to cultivate. He had decided that when he would get the Nether Vine, he would only use its cultivation method during the lightning tribulation. This was only decided by him as he had other methods of cultivation because if it were another normal spirit beast, this idea would not even come close to them.

Mu En did not waste a single second as he 'ate' the Thunder Clap Nether VIne. The Vine had no chance of retaliation because it could not sense Mu En at all. Mu En had been using the stealth ability he got from Ah Yin.

This stealth ability was so good that even a god could not sense him once he activated it. This skill allowed him to become one with nature. A soul master who did not have spiritual power greater than him could never dream to find him. And if they do have spiritual power greater than him, if they did not leave the signature of their divine intent on him, they could never possibly dream to even find him.

Much less a 10,000-year-old Thunder Clap Nether Vine.

There was no doubt that it was a very strong plant type of spirit beast. Even some titled douluo are of no match for it at this age. But all it had was that. It only had that single attacking skill and nothing else.

So, it was eaten without any suspense.

Mu En felt the violent thunder attacking his meridians. This level of attack on his meridians was nothing to his valiant physique. As the thunder kept attacking his meridians, it slowly lost its power.

It was getting absorbed.

Its attack to destroy Mu En's meridians as the last stand was futile. On the contrary, it made Mu En's strong meridians even more resilient. Mu En was naturally ecstatic at this result. Not only he successfully absorbed the Vine but it also made his physique even stronger.

But!

The black clouds that had vanished when Mu En ate the Thunder Clap Nether Vine reappeared!

Mu En was a bit confused at first but as he put some thought into it, he understood.

Lightning Tribulation!

It was his lightning tribulation. This time Mu En did not need to hibernate because his body could handle the energy of the Vine. Due to this, he was not expecting the lightning tribulation to strike the next second.

As the black clouds gathered up in the sky, purple lightning flashed all over it. Mu En did not know if it was his imagination or that was the case. But the unnatural saturation of different parts of the cloud formed... A Middle Finger!?

Mu En's face was a bit ugly when he saw that. But the next moment his face got even uglier.

He saw the lightning flashing all over the place gather right above his head as thunder energy swarmed from the surrounding towards that point. To the spectators, it was as if a thunderstorm but rather than having any kind of water in it. It was purely made of thunder. And... this was the tribulation he never wanted to face all his life...

' Oh SHIT!'
