The torrent of thick lightning struck each person's body, a malevolent symphony of agony reverberating within the confined space of the tribulations. The air crackled with primal energy, and the scent of ozone mingled with the acrid taste of fear.
Kai, once defiant, now gritted his teeth as the lightning bore down upon him. His body convulsed, sinews stretched to their limits. It felt as though he were being torn apart from the inside out, his very essence unraveling like ancient scrolls consumed by fire. His soul, too, roasted amid hellfire—a torment that transcended mere flesh.
Duan Su, pride shattered, trembled violently. His eyes rolled backward, revealing whites tinged with crimson veins. The pain was immense, even for one who had faced countless battles. But this tribulation was no ordinary trial; it reached beyond the corporeal, gnawing at the very fabric of his soul.
