AST 1070 -Thunder Mountain, Violet Lightning, Thunderous Beast’s Evolution, Formidable

Bang bang!

Immense thunder resounded endlessly . The smallest lightning strike had the thickness of a tank and was also violet in color .

Qing Shui, who had just hurried here, discovered the giant Thunder Mountain . Violet Lightning endlessly struck the mountain, the rocks on the surface were blackened by the strikes .

Thunderstone…

Qing Shui observed the Thunderstones that shone brightly in the darkness . How much time had pass before the lightning could refine the stones into its current form? If the Thunderstones here were used to forge weapons, it would result in a formidable product with special effects . These effects could include collision, attack debuff, etc .

However, no one had been able to retrieve the Thunderstones that were unparalleled in hardness . Qing Shui stood at a distance as he observed the roaring Violet Lightning strikes that scattered all over the place . To see something that valuable but could not be retrieved made him felt depressed .

There were many uses for Thunderstones but unfortunately, it was impossible to retrieve . Not only could he not get it, he also felt horrified by its destructive power . There were not many who could withstand that kind of strike .

Just when he was about to leave, the Thunderous Beast’s spiritual sense was transmitted over from within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal as it wanted to come out . This made Qing Shui curious, but he quickly thought of why .

Qing Shui released the Thunderous Beast and asked what it wanted to do by communicating with it telepathically . The answer he received made him shocked . The Thunderous Beast replied that it wanted to absorb some Violet Lightning . This way it could cultivate and increase its own strength .
Qing Shui had a headache as he thought about this . The Thunderous Beast’s name had the word ‘thunder’ and its attacks were ‘Thunderbolt’, ‘Violet Lightning Strike’, etc . , its resistance to lightning was undoubtedly strong . However, the lightning here was unlike any other . Even Qing Shui, who possessed the Arhat Rosary Beads and Area Dominance, did not dare to attempt to receive the power of the thunder and lightning strikes .

Qing Shui inquired several times . Soon afterward, he had a better understanding of the Thunderous Beast .

The Thunderous Beast had originally been 300 stars in strength . With the Violet Thunder Protection, its strength was close to 2000 stars . With that kind of strength, if one came into direct contact with the thunder and lightning, they would be annihilated . However, this was a Thunderous Beast .

With unease in his heart, Qing Shui watched as the Thunderous Beast flew towards the Thunder Mountain . Not even 200 meters flight in, a Violet Lightning strike, with the width of a tank, struck the Thunderous Beast’s body .

The loud bang and screams of pain which Qing Shui expected never occurred . The giant Violet Lightning strike seemed to have been absorbed by the Thunderous Beast’s body . Soon afterward, the Thunderous Beast fired a Thunderbolt .

The Thunderous Beast continued to fire . It’s body emitted a luminous violet glow under the effects of the Violet Lightning . Within the heaven and earth, coupled with the giant thunder and lightning that spread everywhere, the Thunderous Beast was like a sprite that traveled in between .

Violet Lightning would strike the Thunderous Beast continuously, some would disappear but some would let off a crackling sound . The Thunderous Beast did not head to the center of the Thunder Mountain, instead, it headed near the perimeter of the lightning field .

Qing Shui was in tremendous shock as he watched the Thunderous Beast traveled back and forth in the Violet Lightning . The dark space did not swallow the Thunder Beast . Its body seemed to have grown a bit, as its strength also grew . Its violet body seemed to have gained a violet aura .

The Violet Lightning field was rare around this area . Even if an explanation as to why the Violet Lightning field appeared was asked, it could not be answered . Most people would come to observe the marvel and lament a little . At most, some would drool at the Thunderstones, as they felt the pity of being unable to retrieve them .

Even beasts that were of the Thunder type would not be able to withstand the Violet Lightning strike . The result would be annihilation . The Thunderous Beast grew up in the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus, it was the Emperor amongst the Thunder-type beasts . In this situation, even if it did not have complete immunity to thunder and lightning, the thunder and lightning attack received would not be greater than 10% .

This was a perfect opportunity for Violet Lightning Tempering . To the Thunderous Beast, Violet Lightning was a like top quality wine . Each Thunderous Beast had one chance to use Violet Lightning Tempering, thus a typical Thunderous Beast would search for a Violet Lightning when it became mature enough . That was because a Thunderous Beast would truly become a real Thunderous Beast after Violet Lightning Tempering .

If a normal Thunderous Beast encountered one Violet Lightning occurrence within a couple hundred or thousand years, it was considered fortunate . However, the Thunderous Beast had inherited memory . Inherited memory would lead them to locations with Violet Lightning for cultivation when they were mature enough .

To encounter a Violet Lightning here was the Thunderous Beast’s fortune . Locations that had a Violet Lightning before did not have it periodically . Once every several ten or hundred years was the norm . So, for such a large amount of Violet Lightning to occur here was extremely invigorating . Qing Shui knew about this information only after he communicated telepathically with the Thunderous Beast .

Qing Shui could feel the Thunderous Beast’s change and he was full of anticipation . The utility of the Thunder Beast after it powered up was a defiance to the natural order . It could, without a doubt, challenge existence that were many times greater than itself .

Two hours have passed!

Qing Shui was ecstatic because Violet Lightning Tempering was better the longer it was . A typical Thunderous Beast would be able to temper itself for seven and a half minutes, maybe even a bit longer . In a normal situation, being able to absorb one Violet Lightning strike was already enough . Not that they were not able to absorb more but there were not that many Violet Lightning strikes to absorb .

So, the Thunderous Beast’s maximum absorption of Violet Lightning was an uncertainty . Not only it absorbed the Violet Lightning, it also used the Violet Lightning to temper and cultivate itself . However, there were not many Thunderous Beasts that could use the Violet Lightning to temper to this degree .

Qing Shui was aware that he had made a huge profit but he was not certain to what extent was the Thunderous Beast’s growth .

The first day at Ancient Ruins started off with a success . One Nine Continents Steps landed Qing Shui nearby the Thunder Mountain .

Bang!

The Thunderous Beast roared into the air, the sound was like an explosion of mines . Its body was laminated with a Violet Lightning aura as if it was a surreal illusion . A strong pressure was emitted from its body as a silhouette blinked out of the Violet Lightning . Instantly, it had arrived at Qing Shui’s side . It gave off a vigorous and active feeling .

Without communicating telepathically, Qing Shui could feel that the Thunderous Beast’s current strength changed from its original 300 stars to 800 stars .

After almost four hours had passed, the Thunderous Beasts growth was terrifying . It would seem that the Violet Lightning was like a miracle pill for the Thunderous Beast . Its original strength had risen by almost three folds .

Qing Shui could not resist using Heavenly Vision Technique to see .
Violet Thunder Protection: The Thunderous Beast’s unique ability that activates automatically to septuple its strength with zero energy consumption . When the Thunderous Beast is under physical attack, it has a chance to paralyze the enemy . At the same time, it can reduce the enemy’s attack by 20% .

Qing Shui was stunned . The ability was just like the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant’s Dragon Elephant Force . Even its original strength was similar to that of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant . It would seem that the current Violet Lightning Tempering was a similar to how the Diamond Gigantic Elephant had awakened its Dragon Bloodline to evolve into a Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant .

It had not even been six hours since he entered the Ancient Ruins and Qing Shui had already profited substantially . If he had gotten anything else in his remaining time here, the trip to the Ancient Ruins was already worth it .

Thunderbolt: A thunder attack emitted from the beast’s core, with a 1500-meter attack range . The attack causes a slight Paralysis effect as well as Deceleration and Reaction Delay debuffs . These effects are stackable .

The distance had been increased by almost a fold . However, the attack only had slight paralysis, deceleration and reaction delay effects . Although Qing Shui felt that these effects should have been strengthened by a little, it probably would not be too much, given how these effects were stackable .

Violet Lightning Strike: Harnesses the core’s power and releases a powerful lightning strike to disable the opponent, resulting in a three-fold strength attack . It has a one hundred percent chance to paralyze the enemy, with the length of the paralysis depending on the opponent’s abilities . This skill can be used twice every twenty-four hours .

Violet Lightning Strike’s attack was raised by a multiplier of three, not additional of three folds . Furthermore, the skill can be used twice every 24 hours . This made Qing Shui curious whether it was able to use Violet Lightning Strike once every 12 hours or if it was able to use it twice sporadically within a 24-hour window . It could even be two consecutive uses .

This was a crucial point that Qing Shui decided to experiment with . Overall, he was happy or considerably happy . Adding the effects of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it would be more powerful . Qing Shui already had the answer but he was not certain .

Lightning Recovery: The Thunderous Beast grew up in the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus, harnessing an extremely powerful self-recovery ability . Using Lightning Recovery, the Thunderous Beast can immediately heal 70% of the injuries on its body . Its natural restoration speed will also increase by tenfold for an hour . After two uses, the cooldown time will be two hours .

There was no change to this ability and Qing Shui was not surprised as Lightning Recovery was already strong . It becoming any stronger could not be justified . However, he was ecstatic since the Thunderous Beast had several new skills .

Violet Lightning Armor: Battle Armor formed from condensed Violet Lightning . Can withstand 30% of physical and spiritual attacks!

Qing Shui was speechless . The Thunderous Beast belong to the crowd control class, so it needed to prioritize its survivability . Today, a formidable battle skill had appeared . Violet Lightning Armor was super defiant to the natural order . In addition to Violet Thunder Protection’s 20% reduction, the result was a total of 50% reduction in damage .

With the current formidability of the Thunderous Beast, it would already have a huge impact due to its ability to control . If something was dragged by the Thunderous Beast, the result would be death .

Violet Thunder Chain Lightning: Launch a formidable Violet Lightning chain to attack an area . A successful attack has a chance of paralyzing the opponent!

Qing Shui wants to laugh . Violet Lightning Strike was strong but it was mainly used to paralyze the opponent . The damage was caused by its own strength . The Thunderous Beast could use it even without the Violet Lightning Tempering since it was an innate ability . However, Violet Thunder Chain Lightning was different . This ability was a result of the Violet Lightning Tempering . It was either an absorbed, awakened or evolved ability .

This Violet Thunder Chain Lightning could not be as terrifying as the Violet Lightning that occurs in nature . The space of the Thunder Mountain’s in mid-air was covered in darkness and the center was the Violet Lightning . The Thunder Mountain was made up of a special rock . Otherwise, it would not be able to withstand the Violet Lightning strikes, nor would it be able to produce Thunderstones as a result of the strikes .

Qing Shui looked at the last ability while being perfectly content .

Thunder Flash: Passive ability, permanently increase speed by five-folds .

After Qing Shui recovered from his shock, he looked at the cheerful Thunderous Beast right in front of him . When it had gotten the Golden Buddha Aura Lotus, its size was about one meter . Now, it had grown to about the same size of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant . The pure purple made it look especially noble .

The Thunderous Beast’s current speed was by far faster than both the Fire Bird and the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant . Qing Shui finally realized he had been cycling his mounts, from the Fire Bird to the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant and now to the Thunderous Beast .
