Chapter 963: Chapter 503: Successive Tactics (3)

The scales of the Nine Nether Whale shimmered with a ghostly blue under the bombardment of the thunder tribulation, each ray of light seemingly contained the profound power of the Nine Netherworld, resolving the lightning that attempted to pierce its defense one by one. Its massive body thrashed within the sea of thunder and with each movement, space twisted and quaked, making heaven and earth tremble.

The elders of the Seven Profound Sect, along with a crowd of disciples, stared in horror at the enormous body of the Nine Nether Whale on the back mountain, enveloped by the overwhelming and dazzling thunder tribulation, all rendered speechless by the shock.

"By the Daoist Ancestor, what is that?"

"Is that the true form of the Sect Master’s beast tame? So huge, so terrifying!"

"That’s the power of the Nine Netherworld! Is the Sect Master’s spirit insect crossing tribulation today? How could such a gigantic beast appear!"

The voices of the disciples were filled with shock and awe, meeting each other’s eyes, reflecting disbelief. This sight exceeded their realm of understanding, as if a Celestial God had descended, shaking the hearts of everyone.

"Could it be... the legendary Nine Nether Whale? The feared existence capable of devouring all things, even digesting thunder tribulations!" Third Elder Qin Wentong said in trembling shock, he looked at Li Mu, face etched with awe and disbelief.

"It really is the Nine Nether Whale, what technique did Xiaobai use to manage to command this beast to shield the tribulation!" Fang Shixin asked, unable to contain his curiosity while looking at Li Mu.

Li Mu, having no time to answer their inquiries, kept his gaze locked above the tribulation crossing platform, as Xiaobai harnessed the power of the Nine Nether Whale to directly confront the fiercest strike of celestial thunder.

The true spirit thunder tribulation had reached its end and critical moment, success or failure hinged on this single action, and the final celestial thunder compared to previous ones was finer, while the power of celestial dao law was gathered to the extreme, mixed with purple-black light containing a destructive force, crashing straight down upon Xiaobai, arriving in an instant.

Facing this final blow, Xiaobai showed no sign of fear, instead, a flash of resolve and determination appeared in his eyes. He knew, this was not merely a test of the thunder tribulation, but a crucial transformation on his path of cultivation.

"The Kun Whale and I shall merge!" Xiaobai shouted low, containing endless power and conviction.

The gigantic body of the Nine Nether Whale trembled abruptly, the surrounding ghostly blue light surged, intertwining with the soul power within Xiaobai, forming an indestructible protection shield.

At the moment the destructive celestial thunder descended, Xiaobai and the Nine Nether Whale simultaneously erupted with astounding force, the Nine Nether Whale opened its immense maw, spraying forth a deep surge of the power of the Nine Netherworld, clashing head-on with the celestial thunder, emitting a deafening roar.

However, the power of celestial thunder is not so easily fully resolved. Despite the combined efforts of Xiaobai and the Nine Nether Whale, part of the celestial thunder still struck Xiaobai.

In that split second, Xiaobai felt a sharp pain pierce into his divine soul, the frantic thunderbolt began ravaging his soul, his body straightened, lifting into the air, wrapped in purple thunderbolts, quickly extinguishing his vitality.

And then, a miracle occurred.

The residual power of the celestial thunder, resolved by Xiaobai and the Nine Nether Whale, began circulating within his body, fusing with his own soul power, manifesting a peculiar reaction.

Streams of immense soul power surged from Xiaobai’s body, thrusting towards the heavens.

"This is... True Thunder Body Tempering!"

Upon witnessing this, joy flashed through Li Mu’s eyes, thunder tribulation body refinement is an extremely rare phenomenon, occurring only in very few circumstances, and bestows upon the tribulation crosser the moment they successfully overcome it.

Could it be! Could it be that Xiaobai has successfully crossed the true spirit thunder tribulation?

Li Mu’s face showed uncontainable delight, his gaze firmly fixed upon Xiaobai who had passed out from the tribulation thunder.

As the thunder tribulation body refinement progressed, Xiaobai’s body gradually emitted a faint golden glow, interwoven with the ghostly blue light of the Nine Nether Whale, forming a scene that was shockingly beautiful.
