#401 - Shinra Heavenly Expedition!
“Swish~” “Swish~” “Swish~”……
Soon, several figures approached rapidly from afar, landing beside Liang Yue one after another.
Leading the group were Naruto and Sasuke, followed closely by Hinata, Neji, Sakura, Lee, and others, mostly members of the Konoha 12.
The fact that they could arrive so easily on the Ten-Tails' back indicated that the pressure from the Heavenly Tribulation was significant enough that even the Ten-Tails had begun to harbor侥幸, hoping to seek help.
Unfortunately, the Ten-Tails clearly didn't understand what a Heavenly Tribulation was; recklessly increasing the number of people would only make things more dangerous.
Sure enough, the moment these individuals landed, bearing the oppressive force above, the tribulation clouds in the sky sensed their presence and, with a thunderous roar that seemed to express anger, expanded several times over!
The sound of thunder was deafening, and the original bright blue lightning even began to show hints of scarlet!
The Ten-Tails beneath them immediately felt something, instinctively retracting its body, its skin shrinking, and every hair standing on end!
Among the newcomers, the weaker ones, like Sakura, found it difficult even to stand.
Naruto and Sasuke were also sweating at their foreheads, their brows furrowed tightly!
Seeing this, Liang Yue's lips twitched, and he said weakly to the others beside him.
“Didn't I tell you not to come?”
“How could we let you face this alone, Chunqiu!”
Sasuke turned his head, a smile of relief on his face, as he heard Liang Yue's words.
Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto beside him also wore an expression of agreement, while Hinata and the others looked at him with equally firm gazes.
“…You've misunderstood the nature of this tribulation; this is my own affair.”
Liang Yue quickly explained to them upon seeing this.
As the main subject of this Heavenly Tribulation, Liang Yue keenly sensed that the tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to be nearing completion.
However, in his haste, he obviously didn't have enough time to explain the situation in detail, leading everyone to misunderstand his words.
“How can you say that! Although we don't know what we'll face next, as friends, we will never desert you!”
Naruto seemed to be bursting with enthusiasm, giving Liang Yue a thumbs up and showing a hearty smile…
“We want to help you, Chunqiu!”
Sakura clenched her fists, looking at him as she spoke.
“You'll only be a hindrance if you stay…”
“Don't worry! As the undisputed candidate for the next Hokage, I'm very strong now, you know! Huh~ Chunqiu, your eyes seem to have changed a bit, ah~~~”
“…Shinra Tensei~”
“Whoosh~~~”
Seeing that Naruto still wanted to step forward, Liang Yue used his spiritual power to transmit his voice to everyone.
After confirming that this little blonde had been stopped by Sasuke, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and once again focused his gaze on the tribulation clouds above.
“Huff~”
Looking at the lightning vortex that had quietly reverted to a bright blue color, Liang Yue subconsciously clenched his fists, calming the emotions in his heart.
The next moment, he suddenly clasped his hands together.
“Snap!”
When he separated them again, another parasitic seed was already in his palm!
However, compared to the previous translucent, fluorescent seed, the parasitic seed at this moment seemed to have completely materialized, just like a real seed.
The grooves on the surface and the subtle textures were clearly visible~!
Then, he looked at the Ten-Tails beneath him, which seemed to be playing possum, a curve appearing at the corner of his mouth as he shouted softly.
“Monster! I want you to help me transcend this tribulation!”
Saying that, Liang Yue suddenly squatted down, pressing his palms directly onto the Ten-Tails' back.
In an instant, the seed that had been floating in his palm was successfully integrated into its body once more!
“Awww~~~!!!!”
Compared to the previous parasitic seed, the power of this technique at this moment was naturally also rising, incomparable to what it was before~
Under the support of the Foundation Establishment stage's liquid true essence, the parasitic seed not only greatly increased the speed of absorbing energy, but also had a qualitative leap in the upper limit of energy it could contain!
As a result, the Ten-Tails at this moment began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye the moment the seed was planted.
Gradually, as time passed, Liang Yue was even able to stand on the ground with both feet!
At the same time, with the rapid shrinking of the Ten-Tails, what replaced it was a cyan-golden towering tree!
The thick trunk alone was more than ten meters in diameter, and the height was nearly a hundred meters!
This was because Liang Yue focused on putting most of the absorbed chakra into its internal structure and energy balance.
Unlike the bare chakra divine tree that the Ten-Tails transformed into in the third stage, the giant tree in front of him was lush with branches and leaves, and the canopy was like a series of umbrellas, each leaf adorned with scattered golden纹路.
With a small breeze, from a distance, it looked like a tree of gold was swaying in the wind!
It appeared exceptionally beautiful and graceful~
Liang Yue leaped lightly at this moment, and his entire body had already reached the top of the giant tree.
With one leg bent, he stood there in a steady posture, looking up at the surging tribulation clouds above.
“Let me see if this Heavenly Tribulation is really like the legends say, a calamity for cultivators!”
Because it was his first time undergoing tribulation, Liang Yue's mind was filled with caution and a hint of curiosity~
Besides being interested in the origin of this Heavenly Tribulation, he was even more curious about~ the power of this lightning tribulation.
Therefore, in order to personally experience the mysteries within, Liang Yue decided to withstand a blow first and see what it was like……
……
“Crack~~~!”
The lightning tribulation above obviously didn't disappoint him; at the moment when the lightning in the center of the tribulation clouds reached its peak.
A bolt of bright blue heavenly lightning as thick as a bucket immediately struck down with the speed of lightning!
It struck Liang Yue's chest directly!
In an instant, Liang Yue only felt his whole body numb and abnormal, as if the sensation of his entire body had disappeared, and his mind was blank.
A burnt smell immediately surged into his nostrils!
However, this didn't seem to be a big deal~
The source of this burnt smell only came from the clothes on his body.
And the numbness that filled his whole body at that moment, began to rapidly weaken the moment the thunder-fire wood behind Liang Yue rose.
From numbness, it degenerated into tingling; from being completely unconscious, it decreased to containing a trace of comfort…
In just three to five seconds, the impact of this lightning tribulation had disappeared without a trace, and the thunder-fire wood had completely absorbed it into his body.
In this process, all Liang Yue had to pay was a piece of clothing!
