Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a full year had passed since that arduous expedition.
In the Extreme North Land, thunderclouds surged, their might extending nearly a hundred miles. Countless Spirit Beasts prostrated themselves in the snow, gazing with awe at the continuous bolts of lightning striking beneath the dark clouds.
"After a whole year, has this guy finally finished absorbing all the divine force in the pool?"
A hundred miles away from the Thunder Pool in the depths of Purple Thunder Marsh, on a snow-capped mountain, the Ice Empress, dressed in a green princess dress, stood with her arms crossed, her face solemn as she spoke.
Her expression was extremely serious. Looking at the current celestial phenomenon, her pair of brilliant golden eyes were filled with shock and anticipation.
Having guarded him for a full year, if not for the Snow Empress's repeated assurances, the Ice Empress might have long assumed Lu Yuan had perished in that Thunder Pool.
"Evolution, this is an evolution of Bloodline. He is indeed of the same race as me!"
Even the proud Snow Empress couldn't help but reveal a look of shock in her eyes as she watched the anomaly in the sky. Her fair face also flashed with determination and deep astonishment.
The Snow Empress, who had long considered Lu Yuan to be of her own race, watched Lu Yuan undergoing another level of transformation, bathed in the Heavenly Tribulation, and once again deeply affirmed her thought.
This Lu Yuan is definitely of her own race!
In the Douluo Continent, Spirit Beasts undergoing transformations through Cultivation was not a secret.
As the Snow Empress, with a Cultivation base exceeding six hundred thousand years, she naturally knew this. However, the scene of Lu Yuan's evolution still made the Snow Empress deeply believe that he was an Elemental Spirit.
This was because, in the Douluo Continent, other Spirit Beasts' Bloodline evolution entirely belonged to continuously excavating their own Bloodline from the inside out, stimulating evolution through Cultivation.
Only Elemental Spirits like them would absorb a large amount of homologous energy for external stimulation to ultimately choose to evolve.
So, it turns out I am not the only Elemental Spirit in this World!
The loneliness of countless years made the Snow Empress feel a deep joy the moment she found someone of her own kind.
"Xue'er, Xue'er..."
The Ice Empress tugged at the Snow Empress's sleeve, pulling her out of her contemplation, clearly displeased.
"Hmm?"
"Bing'er, did you say something?"
The Snow Empress looked at the Ice Empress tugging at her and asked with some confusion.
"Ugh... I'm angry..."
"Xue'er, you weren't even listening to me!!!"
"Damn it, can you stop thinking about whether that human is an Elemental Spirit or not?"
"I was here first..."
The Ice Empress felt deeply hurt. Her most, most, most beloved Snow Empress was actually thinking about another man and completely ignoring her.
It hurt, it really hurt too much!
It was simply heart-wrenching!
"What 'first' and 'later'? Bing'er, what are you talking about?"
The Snow Empress tilted her head, looking at the Ice Empress strangely, completely unaware of what the Ice Empress was babbling about.
The Ice Empress pouted and sighed silently, always feeling that her Xue'er would be led astray.
Regret. At this moment, she truly felt deep regret. If only she had known, she wouldn't have brought that inherently evil human back.
Now, everything was no longer within the control of her, the mighty Ice Empress King.
"Stop overthinking, Bing'er. He is now at a crucial stage of his evolution. Feel it carefully."
"Try your best to feel the Heavenly Might within this lightning. Perhaps you might be able to use this Heavenly Tribulation to find a way to deal with your own fourth Heavenly Tribulation."
Listening to the Snow Empress's words, the Ice Empress no longer dared to let her mind wander. She immediately began to earnestly comprehend, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for her own survival from the Heavenly Might... In the depths of Purple Thunder Marsh, a figure was currently coiled atop a dried-up Thunder Pool.
His entire body was immaculate, his skin glowing with a faint precious light like white jade. The World was now filled with dense lightning-attribute spirit power.
And this lightning-attribute spirit power, as if being drawn, continuously flowed into Lu Yuan's body.
A point of lightning lit up between his brows, and a pair of golden wings unfolded as the lightning glowed.
Boom!
The heavy dark clouds finally unleashed the first bolt of lightning imbued with Heavenly Might!
Lightning struck his body, which should have been an incredibly painful experience, but Lu Yuan seemed completely oblivious, enduring it head-on.
Not only that, the moment the lightning struck, it was like a wild horse unbridled, beginning to continuously strengthen and even merge around Lu Yuan's body.
As one bolt of lightning after another fell, a towering phantom slowly began to appear behind Lu Yuan!
And this phantom, with the descent of the lightning, began to continuously transform into a true Thunder God.
Majestic, colossal, with an astonishing Aura, making it unforgettable to merely glimpse.
"After a full year, I have finally completely absorbed all the Thunder God Power."
"At the same time, I converted it into my own divine force. I didn't expect that as the Thunder God Power deepened, my path of evolution would once again have a new Dao."
Although his eyes were tightly closed, Lu Yuan's mind was clearer than ever. Through his diffused mental force, he could clearly perceive his current changes.
A year's time had allowed him to accumulate the Thunder God Power within his body to a certain extent. This foundation was even enough to allow his Spirit to evolve once more.
And the current Heavenly Tribulation was the most crucial step in this evolution, simply because he needed to comprehend the most critical core of lightning within this Heavenly Tribulation.
And this core was the transformation of lightning.
One bolt of lightning after another continuously fell upon Lu Yuan's body, strengthening the foundation of his physique.
Lu Yuan's body was like a bedrock, quietly comprehending everything related to lightning.
Time flowed, and three full days passed... The anomaly showed no signs of fading; instead, it became even more ferocious. As Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly opened, the World seemed to completely freeze at that moment!
"Lightning, it contains creation and destruction!"
"I shall sweep away all obstacles before me with the might of a thunderbolt!"
Having firmed his heart and grasped the true essence of lightning, Lu Yuan's body actually began to strengthen out of thin air at this moment, and even his eyes underwent a tremendous change.
His pupils were originally golden, and while their color didn't change, they became even more domineering and filled with majesty than before.
In fact, merely looking at them would make one feel a desire to submit.
Just like an emperor amidst thunder, as his words fell, the hundred-mile-long dark clouds began to gradually dissipate at this moment!
In a moment, they vanished completely, leaving behind only a phantom figure approximately a hundred meters tall!
"When thunder rolls through the dark clouds, when lightning illuminates the earth, I come with the storm, bringing the wrath of the gods!"
Thunder God Lei Yi!
Thus, he arrived!
