Human Clan Defender-Chapter 771 - s Transformation, Calling the Mountain Spirit (Two in One, Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

Tiankui had already acknowledged him as its master; its life and death were entirely at his discretion. Even if Tiankui broke through, it would not be able to resist him.

Of course, if it could reach the Cave Heaven Realm in one go, or even surpass it, then he would be unable to restrain it. But was that possible? Shen Changqing silently shook his head. No matter how strong its bloodline, it was unlikely that a Great Grandmaster-level Fierce Beast could instantly leap into the Cave Heaven Realm, let alone surpass it. If it truly could, then the ancestor of the Chixiao Clan would surely have been far more than a mere Divine King Realm entity.

After a long moment, when Tiankui's aura stabilized at the peak of the tenth level of the Heaven Being realm, it opened its eyes and said somewhat impatiently, "Master, I need sufficient energy! I think I might be about to break through to the Immortal Golden Body Realm!"

Having reached the tenth level of Heaven Being, it no longer needed to use Divine Sense to communicate but could speak directly.

"How much energy do you need?" Shen Changqing asked in a deep voice. Tiankui's potential surprised him, but if it could truly advance to the Immortal Golden Body Realm, that would indeed be a good thing.

Upon hearing this, Tiankui replied without hesitation, "I can't say for certain, but I know that if I break through to the Immortal Golden Body Realm, Heavenly Thunder will descend."

"Heavenly Thunder!" Shen Changqing's eyebrows furrowed. This was not good news. "If you are to undergo a tribulation, you must leave the Capital City. Never mind, come with me!"

With that said, he stepped into the void and led the way out. Seeing this, Tiankui did not hesitate, flapping its two pairs of wings and following closely behind.

「Outside the Capital City.」

In the Thunder Pit, Shen Changqing landed and looked at Tiankui, which had also landed. "This is where I usually undergo my tribulations. You can break through here." As he spoke, he squeezed a drop of blood from his hand and flicked it towards Tiankui. An ordinary drop of his blood contained terrifying energy.

Tiankui opened its mouth and directly swallowed the drop of blood. In the past, it would never have dared to do such a thing. But now, it had already broken through to the tenth level of Heaven Being. Although it hadn't stepped into the Immortal Golden Body Realm, its strength was equivalent to a top-tier Great Demon. The power in that drop of blood was potent, but not overwhelmingly so. Forced Refinement would not be a problem.

As the blood was swallowed, Tiankui lay down in the Thunder Pit, silently commencing the Refinement of the power within the blood. Powerful fluctuations began to emanate from its body.

After a long while, Tribulation Clouds started to gather in the clear Firmament above. Shen Changqing looked up and quietly retreated. The Heavenly Tribulation had arrived.

If he remained within the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be mistaken for intervening. This would intensify the Heavenly Tribulation's power, not only bringing him trouble but also likely causing Tiankui to fail its tribulation. The power of Heaven and Earth was always mysterious and unpredictable. Even though he had reached the Cave Heaven Realm, he dared not recklessly contend with Heaven and Earth. If he were to intervene in the Heavenly Tribulation, Shen Changqing mused, he would likely need to break through further to possess such strength.

RUMBLE!!

After brewing for two hours, Heavenly Thunder tore through space and descended. In an instant, brilliant lightning flashed, blinding the eyes. Shen Changqing had just positioned himself outside the Heavenly Tribulation's range; the spreading aura of the Heavenly Thunder caused no change in his expression. The Thunder Prison descended, completely submerging Tiankui's figure.

I hope it can break through successfully! Shen Changqing thought. He couldn't be certain whether Tiankui would succeed in transcending the tribulation. If it failed, all his efforts would have been in vain. Conversely, if it succeeded, the Human Clan would gain another powerhouse comparable to the Saint Realm. Although Tiankui was a Fierce Beast and not of the Human Clan, it was his mount. Since he was part of the Human Clan, Tiankui, as his mount, naturally counted as a combat asset for them.

The current Heavenly Thunder was immense, and Shen Changqing himself lacked the confidence to intervene. So, all he could do now was wait silently for Tiankui's tribulation to end.

RUMBLE!!

As time passed, Heavenly Thunder descended bolt after bolt. A terrifying aura reverberated endlessly within the Thunder Pit. Amidst it, the roars and howls of a Fierce Beast could be heard. Just from the sounds, it was clear that Tiankui was currently contending with the Heavenly Thunder. Moreover, it seemed not to have suffered any serious injuries.

ROAR—

The Thunder Prison was suddenly torn apart. The colossal Fierce Beast phantom, which originated from its bloodline, manifested directly in the void and, in the next instant, rushed towards the Tribulation Clouds. This colossal Fierce Beast was like a massive mountain. For thousands of miles around, almost everyone could see the gigantic phantom. As the Fierce Beast phantom charged into the Tribulation Clouds, the previously calm clouds shook violently. Soon, both the Fierce Beast phantom and the Tribulation Clouds dissipated. The moment the Tribulation Clouds vanished, an extremely overpowering aura erupted from the Thunder Prison, scattering all remaining thunderbolts.

"Has another powerhouse emerged?" the Barbarian God wondered. "Or has *that one* made another breakthrough?"

The Barbarian God, quietly recuperating its strength within the Barbarian Clan's territory, was once again startled awake. It looked towards the origin of the aura, which was unmistakably the direction of Great Qin. Though the aura was fleeting, like a flash in the pan, it still caused its Divine Soul to tremble slightly.

Previously, the Barbarian God would have been shocked for a long time. But this time, it was only startled briefly before returning to normal. It didn't matter anymore. Recently, it had been awakened like this occasionally. Over time, it had grown accustomed to it.

Shaking its head, the Barbarian God paid it no more heed. To it, nothing was more important right now than restoring its own strength.
