Chapter 421

Two days passed by quickly. Biggie and the others followed Neptune's instructions and prepared all the resources. Soon, the spaceship left Norman's port. This time, Gu Ding's crew had an additional member. It was ten-year-old Miko.

After leaving Norman's atmosphere, Neptune controlled the spaceship to perform a Space Jump and appeared above an uninhabited planet.

"I've checked it out. This planet is less than a light-year away from Norman. It's the closest planet suitable for a disaster. There are no signs of life on the planet, and the environment is not too harsh. It won't affect the disaster. " The Sea Emperor had carefully selected the planets for everyone to undergo their tribulations, and this time was no exception.

Soon, the spaceship docked on the uninhabited planet.

"The surface temperature is 560 degrees Celsius, and the air temperature is 480 degrees Celsius. The atmospheric composition is 28% nitrogen, 39% carbon dioxide, 23% sulfur dioxide, and the remaining 10% is mainly carbon monoxide and sulfur monoxide. There are also small amounts of other components."

Neptune gave a general description of the planet's environment. It was impossible for humans to survive in such an environment. Both the temperature and the atmospheric composition were fatal to humans. However, Gu Ding was already a demigod. Although he was not an energy body, he no longer needed oxygen. Coupled with his physical strength, even if the surface temperature and air temperature were to increase tenfold, he would not be harmed at all.

Gu Ding opened the hatch and stepped out of the spaceship.

On the uninhabited planet, there were only rocks and volcanoes. Gu Ding chose a flat piece of land not far away and lifted the restrictions on himself. Then, he unleashed all his aura.

Lilliath and the others watched through the window from the spaceship not far away. With the Titan battleship's defensive capabilities, they did not have to worry about being affected by the disaster.

After Gu Ding unleashed his aura, the clouds in the sky began to change rapidly, forming a huge vortex that covered half the planet.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

"Oh my god, the vortex in the clouds is so big that we can't see the end. Gu Ding's disaster is terrifying, isn't it?" Lilliath was a little worried.

"It's bigger than all the disasters we've gone through before combined …" Biggie nodded. The area covered by Gu Ding's disaster cloud was terrifying.

The gray clouds quickly turned black as if they had been dyed by ink. Golden lightning rolled in the clouds, and the entire planet looked as if doomsday had arrived.

Gu Ding fearlessly looked up at the sky, waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation to come. He also cultivated his physical body, so he planned to use his physical body to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation like Erza did. If he really couldn't hold on any longer, he would counterattack.

In the sky, the lightning continued to brew in the clouds. After more than an hour, the first bolt of lightning finally fell.

It was a bolt of golden lightning that was as thick as an adult's arm. It flashed through the void and struck Gu Ding at an incredible speed.

Lilliath frowned slightly when she saw this. "This guy is using his body to resist?!"

"With Gu Ding's physical strength, the first few waves won't be much of a problem. The main problem is that the last few waves of Heaven's Retribution are more powerful and might pose a threat to him." Elsa knew about Gu Ding's Emperor Body of Nature Manifestation, and she was also aware of Gu Ding's cultivation progress. She was not very worried.

When the first bolt of lightning entered his body, there was a puzzled expression on Gu Ding's face because the Heavenly Tribulation did not cause any harm to his body at all. It only made him feel a little numb. "Is this the power of the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Just as Gu Ding was feeling puzzled, energy suddenly surged out of nowhere and began to temper his body again. He could clearly feel that the appearance of that energy made the cells in his body cheer with joy. This made him even more puzzled. "What the hell is going on?"

Before he could figure out the problem, the second bolt of lightning fell. Still, other than a slight numb feeling, there were no signs of injury. After the lightning disappeared, the body tempering energy from earlier emerged in his body again, strengthening the strength of his cells again.

Then, a third, a fourth … Bolts of lightning continued to fall, but Gu Ding's clothes were still unharmed. The bursts of numbness did not make him feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, it gave him an unusually comfortable feeling.

However, after more than forty bolts of lightning fell, Gu Ding's basic physical strength rose from a two-star standard to a three-star standard. He estimated that when all eighty-one bolts of lightning fell, his physical strength should be able to rise to a four-star standard.

"Why do I feel a little strange?" Lilliath's eyes were sharp. "The expression on Gu Ding's face looks like he's enjoying it."

"I think so …" Elsa also felt a little strange.

"It shouldn't be a problem. If there's any danger, Gu Ding will definitely do something." Biggie also took a closer look at Gu Ding's situation. There was one thing he did not say. If there was any real danger, Neptune would definitely inform them.

Of course, Gu Ding would not be distracted by others' evaluation of his situation. He could feel the cells in his body cheering. However, he still could not figure out what was going on in his body.

"The eightieth bolt of lightning has passed. There's only one left!" Gu Ding's eyes finally opened. He felt that he was just a little bit away from raising his basic cell strength to the level of a four-star lower deity. This last bolt of lightning was most likely an opportunity for him to become stronger.

In the sky, a golden bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket landed accurately on Gu Ding's body again.

Another powerful surge of energy rushed out of his body, and Gu Ding's cell strength instantly rose from a three-star lower deity to a four-star lower deity.

"It's finally over …" The last bolt of lightning fell, and Gu Ding breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he was about to leave, he saw Lili and the others in the spaceship pointing to the sky. He looked up at the sky again.

"What's going on???" Gu Ding did not understand what was going on. In the sky, not only did the tribulation clouds not dissipate, but lightning continued to flash above the clouds, completely dyeing the black clouds in the sky golden.

"I just counted. It's already the eighty-first bolt. Why hasn't the lightning gone away yet?" Lilliath could not understand.

"It's indeed the eighty-first bolt. I've counted it too," Elsa nodded.

"Maybe you've counted it wrong. Let's wait and see after this wave of lightning passes." Dockett felt that the two women had counted it wrong because no one could have more than the eighty-first bolt of lightning.

"Be careful, this wave of lightning is a little strange," Neptune reminded them.

Gu Ding himself was a little confused, but since the lightning had not dissipated, it meant that he could not leave. He put away the doubts in his mind and braced himself to prepare for the next wave of heavenly tribulations.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell, followed by a second, a third, a fourth … Countless bolts of lightning seemed to be exposed as they poured down in a frenzy. Their target was Gu Ding, who was in the midst of transcending.

Lilliath and the others did not even have time to scream before they saw the countless bolts of lightning rushing toward Gu Ding.

"What's going on?" Gu Ding could not understand what had just happened when he saw golden lightning as far as his eyes could see. Before he could react, he was hit by a bolt of lightning. In less than 0.0001 seconds, the second and third bolts of lightning bombarded Gu Ding's body.

"No, something bad is going to happen if this goes on!" Lilliath saw Gu Ding drowning in lightning and became a little anxious.

However, Gu Ding felt completely different. To him, the bolts of lightning were not a death sentence. Instead, they were nutritious tonics.

His body kept swallowing the various bolts of lightning, but Gu Ding still did not feel any pain. Instead, he felt a wave of numbness. The strange energy soon appeared again, but this time, it was not Gu Ding's physical body that improved, but his soul strength. In less than three minutes, Gu Ding's soul strength had increased by a level, reaching the strength of a three-star Lower Rank deity. This strength was still increasing.

The golden lightning poured down like a torrential rain, but it was all directed at Gu Ding.

Gu Ding's soul strength continued to increase. Three-star, four-star, five-star …

The continuous bombardment lasted for a full hour before it finally ended. Gu Ding's soul strength had been forcibly raised to the strength of a one-star Middle Rank deity. This kind of improvement was simply terrifying.

When the last bolt of lightning fell, Gu Ding naively thought that it was over. He looked up at the sky again, but the tribulation clouds had not dissipated.

"It seems that Gu Ding is fine, but why hasn't the heavenly tribulation ended?!" This time, Lilliath was not the only one who was surprised. Even Biggie frowned slightly. He had no idea what was going on.

Above the clouds, a strange light surged.

All of a sudden, golden spherical objects fell from above the clouds and madly smashed in Gu Ding's direction, like falling stars …

"Is this … spherical lightning?" Gu Ding was also stunned when he saw it. Although this kind of lightning was slower than normal lightning, its destructive power was much stronger.

After the golden spherical objects hit Gu Ding's body, they directly sank into it and disappeared. Following that, another inexplicable wave of energy was produced and directly poured into Gu Ding's soul space where the tinder was stored, giving birth to a strange purple tinder. As the spherical lightning continued to attack, the purple tinder in Gu Ding's body also began to burn. From a spark, it turned into a flame, then a pillar of fire, and even higher …

"This is Purple Thunderfire!" Neptune recognized it at a glance. "This time, you can say that you've gained a lot."

Gu Ding himself did not know how many times he had been hit. He only knew that the attack of the spherical lightning this time had given him an additional type of Divine Fire, and its growth speed was faster than other Divine Fires.

After the spherical lightning, the clouds in the sky finally began to return to normal …
