Chapter 528: Spring thunder booms, all things grow.
The fierce wind swept the dark clouds forth, and in just a moment, the sky turned as black as an ink pool.
“Rise!”
Lu Yaohao’s divine soul emerged from the center of his forehead, and he declared boldly, “What a sound of thunder cascading off a thousand peaks, and the colors of rain coming from ten thousand mountains! Today, I shall put myself to the test!”
Li Pei said with concern, “My lord, be careful and do not overexert yourself.”
No sooner had her voice faded, an dazzling blade of light sliced through the gloomy clouds, illuminating the earth.
It was a massive bolt of lightning stretching tens of kilometers!

...
Immediately after, a deafening thunder roared across the sky, resounding incessantly!
Even at a distance of 5 kilometers away, the sound measured at 120 decibels, making the houses shudder and tremble.
Ordinary people would suffer permanent deafness if they listened to such noise for more than half a minute, yet Lu Yao intended to cultivate through it!
His physical eyes became vacant as his thoughts transferred to his divine soul, listening intently to the thunder.
This was Lu Yao’s first time soul traveling during a thunderstorm, and as soon as the rumble reached him, he felt a stabbing pain deep within his soul, accompanied by a numbing sensation, causing his thoughts to lag slightly.
Even though it was his soul, the sensation felt exactly the same as being electrified in the flesh.
Luckily, the distance was great, and aside from feeling slightly unusual, it was not too impactful.
Soon, another flash of lightning lit up the land, and cracks crisscrossed the sky in an instant.
This was an even more formidable lightning bolt, spanning nearly a hundred kilometers, immediately followed by a thunderclap.
Lu Yao instantly felt a much stronger sensation of numbness.
The voltage of lightning reached over a million volts, with a current exceeding one hundred thousand amperes, releasing vast amounts of light and heat, heating the surrounding air to 20,000 degrees Celsius, which was four times the temperature of the sun’s surface!
Yet this lightning was but an inconspicuous note in the symphony of a thunderstorm.
Witnessing such natural might, even a Golden Body Grandmaster would feel a sense of awe.
When Li Pei thought about the day her husband would fly into the terrifying storm to break through, she was apprehensive.
By now, Lu Yao had grown accustomed to the thunder, and before he knew it, the numbing pain in the depths of his soul turned into pleasure.
It was like a full-body massage, initially painful, but after getting used to it, one felt utterly relaxed.
The “massage” of thunder resonating with the divine soul was even more enchanting.
Basking in the delight surging within his divine soul, Lu Yao marveled, “The sound of thunder is truly wondrous! It can actually strengthen the soul!”
There’s a saying that “Spring thunder awakens all things.”
In the concept of the ‘Waking of Insects,’ it is the spring thunder that wakes the dormant insects, which then heralds the return of spring and the burgeoning of life.
The fearsome thunder not only signifies destruction but also harbors infinite vitality!
Lu Yao stretched out his hand toward the sky. In no time, spring rain began to fall from the heavens, meticulously watering the earth.
~~~~~~~~~~
Half an hour passed in quiet, and the thunder gradually ceased, leaving only a low hum between the distant clouds.
Lu Yao’s divine soul returned to his body, and he exhaled contentedly.
At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease throughout his entire being.
Li Pei, curious by his side, said, “Is it really that enjoyable? Look how pleased you are.”
“The pleasure comes from deep within the soul, and it’s indescribably wonderful,” Lu Yao stretched his limbs and replied,
“It’s like scratching a spot that has been itching for decades, all of a sudden.”
As he spoke, he suddenly gathered his true qi and delivered a fierce palm strike towards the front!
A semi-transparent surge of energy flew out and, with a “crack,” snapped a tree as thick as a sea bowl in two at its waist!
Li Pei exclaimed in surprise, “True qi released externally?”
Lu Yao explained, “This is a way to use Mind Force combined with true qi.”
The Empress Dowager had used a similar method in the Mausoleum Underground Palace before.
To this day, he was also capable of achieving it, all thanks to the efficacy of thunder power!
“Thunder power is greatly beneficial to the Divine Soul. I just listened to the thunder for a while, and my Divine Soul has solidified a lot, with its strength increasing by at least ten percent!”
Lu Yao looked at the dark clouds in the sky, filled with anticipation, “It’s hard to imagine what amazing benefits one would get from flying into them for cleansing!”
Li Pei cautioned from the side, “They also contain enormous danger! Both my Martial Intuition and Divine Sense Perception are telling me—these thunders are terrifying!”
“Of course, I have my confidence~”
Blue Star has many ways concerning thunder and electricity, so Lu Yao appeared confident:
“Next, it’s about reinforcing the foundation during the thunderstorm season. If all goes well, I should be able to cross the Thunder Tribulation within the year!”
“Then let me congratulate ‘Celestial Lord’ Lu in advance,” said Li Pei with a smile, her hand on her waist as she curtsied, “The first Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarch in a millennium.”
Hearing his wife’s congratulatory words, Lu Yao suddenly remembered a problem.
Since the last Thunder Tribulation expert passed away during the An Lushan Rebellion, Otherworld has been without a Celestial Lord.
And he urgently needs a reference to successfully break through!
It is also for the sake of safety, as exploratory breakthroughs at high realms are exceedingly dangerous.
“So here comes the question, where to find a Thunder Tribulation Realm for observation…”
The image of that little brat Xu Fu immediately came to mind… he was in the Thunder Tribulation Realm, and Ying Zheng said he wasn’t in good shape—could there be an angle to work here?
Lu Yao was suddenly tempted. He wasn’t sure if he could win, but he could ensure he wouldn’t lose.
He had many trump cards for playing landlord—within the Golden Dragon, Stone Lion, and the Fairy Boat was an ocean-like power of Yan Huang, which was highly effective against Xu Fu.
And his goal wasn’t to win, but just to witness the mysteries of the Thunder Tribulation Realm; there were plenty of ways to deal with Xu Fu after the breakthrough!
Lu Yao asked his wife, “With the Government Forces’ great victory, how did Izumo officials react?”
“What else could they do but condemn us internationally and send more troops,” Li Pei frowned. “We’re about to reach Seoul soon. As Goryeo’s capital, its importance is self-evident. The Izumo Emperor is likely to intervene; my lord must be cautious.”
If they lost the capital, Izumo people could take to the sea and scram. Lu Yao nodded slightly, then uttered a shocking statement:
“Then let’s cut to the chase, arrange a battle with the Izumo Emperor, in one month’s time.”
“!!!”
Shock appeared on Li Pei’s face, and she was about to open her mouth to dissuade him.
A few close people knew the true nature of Xu Fu, that his Golden Body + Thunder Tribulation cultivation was not to be opposed, and it was better to engage in warfare and wear him down with the army and top fighters.
But she feared dissuading him might hurt her husband’s pride… before she could speak, Lu Yao already smiled and said:
“Crossing swords with someone in the Thunder Tribulation Realm will greatly increase my chances for my breakthrough, this battle is imperative. Don’t worry, I will return unscathed.”
Seeing his determination, Li Pei spoke no further, “Then I shall go and prepare…”
Lu Yao had another purpose he didn’t mention, which was to probe how much Xu Fu knew about the second sun in the sky, also known as “The God of Unity.”
This celestial-like monster is the biggest enemy!
~~~~~~~~~
The next day, a letter of challenge was sent through formal diplomatic channels to Izumo and quickly reached Xu Fu’s hands.
[Our Divine Land’s Superior Nation is benevolent and generous. Recently, we sent troops to punish the unjust, our banners pointing southward, and were unstoppable.
While our soldiers are engaged in fierce battle, why should we hesitate to lend a hand? I am willing to meet you at dawn on the Dragon Boat Festival at Mount Kumgang to decide who is superior.]
The moment Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi finished reading the challenge, the Izumo Imperial Palace was in an uproar.
Several ministers and military commanders from the navy and army cursed loudly; if words could kill, Lu Yao would have been ground to dust and scattered to the winds.
Xu Fu, wearing a mask, lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, “Interesting.”
