Thunder light loomed, layers of dark clouds rolled in, and skylight shone out from deep within the clouds. It was clearly daytime, but there was an inexplicable gloominess about this scene.
I don't know if it's their misunderstanding, but why do they feel that the nearby environment suddenly seems to be a lot colder?
It was not a thunder disaster, Lang Yi quickly made a judgment. At least... it's not the Thunder Tribulation they thought -
Although his first reaction was to wonder if this was a thunder disaster, after looking at it for a while, he immediately overturned this idea.
In the world of cultivation, no monk has faced a thunder disaster for more than ten thousand years, but there are many records about thunder disasters.
Many people think that thunder tribulation is a catastrophe for those with extraordinary talents. In essence, it is indeed mostly a punishment method produced by Heaven to balance the order of heaven and earth. But few people know that thunder tribulations were originally targeted at demons, and were most commonly seen in the process of monsters transforming into human form, so they are also called transformation tribulations.
Later people discovered that not only monsters would encounter thunder tribulations, but also human monks would encounter thunder tribulations under certain circumstances. It's just that there is a subtle difference between the two, and it is really rare for monks to encounter thunder disasters.
This world is all about balance. Often what this world gives you may take away something else from you to make up for the balance.
Human beings are no more blessed than most groups of monsters, and are inherently inferior in physique and strength. However, God has given them something extremely precious - wisdom.
The person who claims to be the primate of all things naturally has his own uniqueness, otherwise it would not be possible for him to step over the many monsters and officially ascend to the throne after the chaos of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and become the lord of heaven and earth.
Human beings who are born with wisdom know how to use their own power and how to maximize it better than any other existence. Although legendary "mythical beasts" such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns also possess considerable wisdom, they are different.
Compared to races that are almost like gods like dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, who are born with powerful bloodline power, humans can only be regarded as ant-like existences, extremely weak.
But this kind of human beings have now grown into the most powerful force on the continent. Even races as powerful as those that have been rampant since ancient times can only avoid its edge.
It seems that as in myths and legends, humans are the favored children of heaven, possessing understanding and wisdom that are incomparable to all living beings, and the shackles of rules seem to have become extremely light on them.
In the past, the demon clan looked down upon human beings. They thought that human beings were just despicable villains who relied on the will of heaven to steal the throne. If their morals were not matched, they would overturn sooner or later. Naturally, they despise the ugliness of the human form.
However, by chance, some smart monsters discovered that the human form is indeed much more fragile and suffers a lot in fighting. However, practicing in human form is smoother than practicing in animal form, and it is easier to break through the shackles.
how to say? Most monsters have special blood in their bodies. Not only are they powerful, they also have a lifespan that humans can never match. Not to mention beings like high-level monsters, even the lowest level Spirit Moon Rabbit can easily live for hundreds of years.
Maybe the age base has been enlarged, and their cultivation process has been infinitely slowed down, as if it was put on a slow clockwork. The growth period of most monsters may be longer than half a human's life, and their promotion speed will naturally be extremely slow.
But they found that if they transformed into human form and practiced again, the restrictions that seemed to be engraved in the blood would immediately slow down a lot, and the cultivation speed would be very fast, far faster than they could practice if they kept their prototypes. Isn't this enough to kill those monsters? !
Although they still think that the appearance of the human race is not beautiful enough, many tyrannical monsters have begun to pay attention to the incarnation.
The Transformation Tribulation...came into being.
Therefore, it is unacceptable for the world to turn monsters into human forms, intending to go against the original destiny and go against heaven. God will send down a warning no matter what. If you can get through it, it will be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate and you will reach a higher level. If you can't, it will be ashes and ashes, and you will never recover.
Thanks to this, mankind has been able to maintain its current status. Otherwise, monsters would have been rampant in this world, and humans would have had no place to stay.
But correspondingly, the Transformation Tribulation was born. In order to maintain the balance of power between heaven and earth, the human race also gradually had thunder tribulations.
Generally speaking, if ordinary monks practice step by step, they are unlikely to encounter thunder tribulations at the middle and low-level cultivation stages. They may only encounter thunder tribulations after the integration stage. The most famous one is overcoming the three tribulations. After passing through all the waves of tribulations, one can cast off his mortal bones and achieve enlightenment and ascend.
That is also a legendary thing. In the world of cultivation...even if it is as prosperous as Middle Earth, few people have witnessed it with their own eyes. As popularly said in the southeastern border, no one on this continent has touched the level of ascension for nearly a million years. Not to mention those immortal figures who were in the combined stage, Mahayana stage and tribulation stage, no one knows where they are hiding.
Of course, there are also geniuses with extraordinary talents that are unparalleled in the world. They will also suffer thunder disasters when they advance in the early stages. This situation is rare and may not be seen for thousands of years.
This type of thunder catastrophe aimed at humans is different from the transformation catastrophe. It is far more testing than punishing.
Put it this way. If the Thunder Tribulation is regarded as an exam, and the human race and the demon race take the exam together, then Tiandao is the examiner.
Tiandao prefers the rules and solid eyes of the human race. When giving them exam papers, they also prepare rewards. Once they pass, they will be awarded immediately and told to continue working hard. But it hates the sneaky tricks of the demon clan, so it specially set up a killing calamity. Whether you like to test or not, if you pass the test, it will turn a blind eye.
Therefore, the thunder tribulations of the human race and the demon race are different.
Generally, thunder tribulations fall on monks after they are promoted. They hear the thunder before they arrive. Most of them are single strands of thunder and lightning, and the surrounding areas are covered by thick spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once the thunder tribulation is successfully passed, these strong spiritual powers of heaven and earth will turn into power given to the monks, assisting the monks in tempering a body of pure power.
From the onset to the end of the thunderstorm, it may cause abnormal changes in the weather and the gathering of clouds, but it is not a single manifestation and may also cause other phenomena.
But the Transformation Tribulation is different. Rain and thunder, like the wrath of the sky, roll up a column-like airflow from the position of the Transformation individual, spiraling straight up to the zenith.
Inside it, the monster facing the disaster of transformation is like being locked inside, with nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide. It can only face the disaster of thunder disaster.
The external forms of the two are fundamentally different. The scene Ningxia faced was not at all like an ordinary thunder catastrophe, but more like a transformation catastrophe in which a demon clan transformed into a human form!
