Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 466 Passing the Tribulation of Lightning!
Only by surviving this tribulation can his Golden Core be perfected, and only then can Gu Yuan be considered a true Golden Core cultivator!
Seemingly sensing Gu Yuan's current state, the thunderclouds in the sky flashed with lightning for a moment, then suddenly...

Rumble——! ! !
A dazzling, deep blue bolt of lightning shot out from the thunderclouds and struck straight at Gu Yuan.

This bolt of lightning was as thick as a house and over thirty feet long. As soon as it appeared, countless tiny bolts of lightning filled the surrounding void.

The area within a radius of hundreds of miles was bathed in a blue-white light, dazzlingly bright.

An oppressive pressure, so intense it made one's chest feel tight and breathing difficult, burst forth and spread outwards. Even some onlookers dozens of miles away could sense the terrifying power of this lightning bolt.

Faced with this attack, Gu Yuan remained calm, simply circulating his magical power to prepare to withstand it.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but Gu Yuan could sense the power within that bolt of lightning.

Although it was indeed quite terrifying, and an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would die on the spot and have his soul scattered if struck by it, Gu Yuan himself was someone who had already cultivated the rudimentary form of the great divine power of thunder, the Chaos Divine Thunder.

This lightning bolt was powerful, but in essence it was only a lightning technique of the same level as the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, posing no threat to Gu Yuan at all.

Boom! Boom!
The lightning first struck Yu Qiubai's cave, easily piercing through layers of restrictive power, and then directly pierced through the stone wall above Gu Yuan's head.

Then, it landed on Gu Yuan's head.

The next moment, crackling and popping, with bursts of tiny blue lightning flashing continuously, Gu Yuan was completely enveloped in the lightning, frantically devouring it.

Before he formed his core, this bolt of lightning might have posed a slight threat to Gu Yuan, but now it poses absolutely no threat to him.

To be precise, Gu Yuan, who had forged the Golden Core, regarded this terrifying lightning as a delicious snack.

Before long, the lightning outside Gu Yuan's body, filled with destructive and intense destructive power, was completely devoured by him.

The golden core within Gu Yuan's body flashed with a faint blue light before disappearing.

At this moment, the thunderclouds overhead seemed to have sensed what had just happened and were provoked into a "rage".

Thunderclouds surged and thunder roared.

Countless bolts of lightning converged, transforming into a deep blue and purplish-red pillar of lightning that pressed down.

At the same time, streaks of pure white heavenly fire ignited on its surface, distorting the air wherever it passed.

Compared to the lightning bolt from before, this lightning pillar is essentially close to the prototype level of a great divine power, and its power is more than ten times greater.

Faced with this attack, Gu Yuan was cautious. He directly used his Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power to set up layers of seemingly thin but actually tough and terrifying protection above his head.

Although the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power is not a prototype of a great divine power, it has endless uses and can devour the attacks of others.

However, the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power alone was clearly not enough. A layer of blackish-purple lightning spread across Gu Yuan's body. The lightning intertwined and flowed, gathered and condensed, directly transforming into a suit of armor formed from chaotic divine lightning.

Just then, the lightning bolt crashed down.

After the layers of dark protection that landed on Gu Yuan's head, the power of the lightning pillar and the surrounding heavenly fire were quickly devoured until it could no longer withstand the force and was directly burst open.

With each layer of protection breached, the power of the lightning pillar weakened slightly. After breaking through dozens of layers of protection, the lightning pillar noticeably dimmed before striking Gu Yuan.

Crackling! Crackling!
The moment the deep blue lightning collided with the armor formed from the chaotic divine lightning on Gu Yuan's body, it burst into bright light.

Dark blue, purplish-red, pure white, and blackish-purple lightning and fire intertwined, canceled each other out, and then erupted.

As the light gradually faded, Gu Yuan's armor was tattered, and even his skin was blackened in many places.

However, Gu Yuan's aura remained deep and long, and he showed no signs of injury.

With a flash of water, the dark gray marks on his body disappeared instantly.

However, Gu Yuan's magical power was reduced by a full 20%.

And even the entire training room was destroyed.

The surrounding stone walls, which were originally protected by restrictive formations, have now been either melted or shattered by lightning, turning them into ruins.

Just then, the thunderclouds overhead continued to gather, roaring incessantly like a terrifying, enraged beast.

Countless bolts of lightning rapidly converged, merged, and brewed, seemingly about to give birth to something terrifying.

Strands of true fire gathered together, as if by magic, and transformed into a pure white giant python, as thick as a train and over twenty feet long.

Gu Yuan instantly felt the pressure from above suddenly increase several times over, and even he felt a sense of pressure.

This made Gu Yuan instantly realize that the power of the upcoming Thunderfire would definitely increase dramatically.

As expected, after brewing for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the lightning bolts gathered into a ball, then suddenly shrank, transforming into a five-colored bolt of lightning that struck down directly at Gu Yuan.

Compared to the two bolts of lightning from before, this five-colored lightning bolt was only as thick as an arm and a few meters long. However, the moment this lightning bolt struck down, a shadow seemed to fall over Gu Yuan's heart, and he felt a terrible sense of crisis.

Not only lightning, but the giant python formed from heavenly fire also transformed into a small, pure white snake with a golden tinge, and pounced at the same time. Its scales were fine and tight, and its eyes were lively yet cold, making it look lifelike, as if it were a living creature.

Whether it was this five-colored lightning or this pure white and pale gold snake that was more than three feet long, Gu Yuan felt that its power was even stronger than the rudimentary form of the great divine power he had cultivated. It already possessed some of the power of a true great divine power!

Now, this thunder and fire have become powerful enough to threaten Gu Yuan!
Gu Yuan wasn't one to close his eyes and wait for death. Seeing the critical situation, he simply moved his mind, and his natal flying sword, Taiyuan Yujing Sword, transformed into a dazzling sword light, unleashing a shockingly sharp sword intent, and slashed at the pure white and pale gold snake.

This small snake appears slender and thin, but it is actually formed from celestial fire, which has extremely concentrated heat, making its body exceptionally hard and hot, capable of easily melting gold and iron.

Once its power is unleashed, even Gu Yuan will be seriously injured.

When the sword light transformed from the Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword struck it, it surprisingly produced a faint clanging sound like metal clashing before finally shattering the entire snake's body.

The sword light was visibly red-hot from the intense heat.
