Ever since Blue Lightning devoured Qi Yan's Nascent Soul, whose true form was the Dark Flame Black Qilin Beast, three years ago in the Sky Melting Fire Marsh, it had been in a deep slumber until now.
Now that the time had finally come to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Ning Fa was naturally overjoyed.
After all, with Blue Lightning's potential, once it broke through to the Shapeshifting Realm, its strength would definitely surpass Hei Yu's.
Furthermore, there was a crucial point: Blue Lightning's bloodline could be traced back to the Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast, a Saint Demon comparable to a Spirit Transformation Cultivator!
And because Blue Lightning's Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast bloodline was relatively potent, it would only require four hundred Third-Tier Origin Points to trace its lineage. Ning Fa happened to have exactly that amount now.
Ning Fa had always intended to trace Blue Lightning's bloodline when it advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and that time had finally arrived.
If Blue Lightning's bloodline could be traced back to the Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast, then once it became a Shapeshifting Spiritual Beast, its strength would likely surpass that of ordinary mid-stage Shapeshifting Demonic Beasts, and it might even become a fifth-grade Spiritual Beast in the future!
Thinking of this, Ning Fa became excited. He couldn't be bothered to head to Jinchuan Island anymore. He flew south for over a thousand miles, found a secluded deserted island, and landed on it.
Then, he lightly shook the Spirit Beast Bracelet in his hand. With a flash of blue light, Blue Lightning's figure appeared.
At this moment, its entire body was flashing with intense blue lightning, its Spiritual Pressure was extremely unstable, and its expression showed a hint of pain, with both fear and anticipation in its eyes.
Ning Fa said to it in a deep voice, "Blue Lightning, go ahead without worry. I will guard you."
"Thank you, Master!" Blue Lightning said softly, then flashed with blue light and flew about a mile away.
At the same time, with a thunderous boom, a cloud as dark as ink suddenly appeared in the sky. A terrifying Tribulation Thunder aura emanated from it, and rolling thunder sounded intermittently, making one feel oppressed.
Ning Fa retreated several miles, watching with a solemn expression.
When a Spiritual Beast undergoes tribulation, even as Blue Lightning's master, he could not intervene.
Otherwise, not only would he be attacked by the Thunder Tribulation, but its power would also double.
As far as Ning Fa knew, the tribulation for a Spiritual Beast's transformation was generally much more powerful and difficult than the spiritual tribulation for Nascent Soul Cultivators.
This was also why ordinary Shapeshifted Demonic Beasts were more powerful than Nascent Soul Cultivators of the same level.
Moreover, Blue Lightning's bloodline was extraordinary, so its transformation tribulation was likely even more formidable than that of ordinary Demonic Beasts.
Just as Ning Fa was contemplating, he heard a loud bang. The first Tribulation Thunder, as thick as a water vat, descended from the tribulation clouds.
Even Ning Fa's expression changed slightly. The power of this Tribulation Thunder was already comparable to the latter half of the tribulation that Su Wanwan had experienced during her tribulation.
At this moment, a roar was heard. Blue Lightning had also transformed into a beast several dozen feet tall, its entire body shimmering with intense blue spiritual light.
It raised its head and spewed out a pillar of blue light, meeting the Tribulation Thunder. After a few moments of stalemate, both gradually dissipated.
Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Blue Lightning handle it with ease.
Before long, another Tribulation Thunder descended, its rumbling thunder echoing across the sky.
More than half a day passed, and the final, special blue Tribulation Thunder fell.
Ning Fa, who was watching, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, clench his fists, and his face was filled with tension.
This tribulation was very powerful, and he was worried if Blue Lightning could withstand it.
At this moment, the already heavily wounded Blue Lightning showed an unyielding look in its eyes. It suddenly leaped high into the air and charged towards the blue Tribulation Thunder.
With a violent roar, Blue Lightning fell to the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater more than ten feet wide.
Ning Fa's expression changed, and he got up to fly over.
Just then, a faint telepathic message came from his sea of consciousness. Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in place.
Although Blue Lightning was severely injured, it had managed to withstand these nine bolts of Tribulation Thunder.
At this moment, a strange humming sound arose. The tribulation cloud in the sky had not disappeared and was still churning.
Seeing this, Ning Fa, who had just relaxed, became anxious again. Could there be more Tribulation Thunder?
How could this be possible?
Even with Blue Lightning's special bloodline, it shouldn't be like this. He knew that even though he possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body and had experienced extremely powerful tribulation lightning before, there were only nine bolts.
However, Ning Fa soon showed a strange expression.
This was because he no longer felt the dangerous tribulation lightning aura from the tribulation cloud. Instead, a strange, fragrant aroma was faintly emanating from it.
Suddenly, Ning Fa's expression changed drastically. He suddenly remembered a record he had seen before.
It stated that some powerful celestial spiritual beasts, after successfully undergoing their transformation tribulation, would receive a very special feedback from the Heavenly Dao, a rare and precious item called [Emperor Flow Sap].
Not only could it greatly enhance the spiritual beast's physical strength, but it also played a crucial role in improving the spiritual beast's intelligence and shaping its form.
Could this be what was being produced in the tribulation cloud?
At this moment, the strange fragrance grew stronger and stronger. The tribulation cloud also churned with watery light, and something resembling a full moon slowly began to appear within it.
Concurrently, colorful light spots began to appear in the surrounding sky, converging towards this full moon.
These were clearly extremely pure spiritual energy. In a short period, the area within a radius of tens of miles was filled with these spiritual energy light spots, forming a massive spiritual energy vortex, with the full moon in the tribulation cloud at its center.
Ning Fa couldn't help but feel happy for Blue Lightning.
Just then, his expression changed slightly as he looked around.
He heard the faint sound of splashing water. In Ning Fa's perception, within a radius of several hundred miles, numerous demonic beasts of various kinds were surging towards this location as if driven mad.
Most of them were first and second-grade demonic beasts, but there were also quite a few third-grade demonic beasts among them.
Ning Fa frowned slightly. He understood the reason; clearly, the forming Emperor Flow Sap held an unparalleled attraction for these demonic beasts, driving them into a frenzy at this moment.
Ning Fa flicked his right sleeve. As two clusters of light flashed, Hei Yu and Little Ice appeared.
Ning Fa said in a deep voice, "Stop all these approaching demonic beasts. Don't let them disturb Blue Lightning's breakthrough."
Hei Yu nodded, and with a flash of golden light, he shot outwards.
Little Ice glanced at Blue Lightning, its eyes filled with envy. It muttered, "Damn it, I didn't expect Blue Lightning to succeed in shapeshifting before me!"
With that, it spread its wings and flew off in another direction.
Ning Fa didn't rush to act, as he had another important matter.
At this moment, the full moon within the tribulation clouds seemed to have completely solidified. Talisman light flickered upon it, and the peculiar fragrance it emitted had reached its peak, making even Ning Fa feel a stirring within his body.
In fact, Emperor Flow Sap was also a top-tier tonic for high-level body cultivators.
However, this Emperor Flow Sap was crucial for the shapeshifting of spiritual beasts. Even a little less could lead to an imperfect shapeshift for Blue Lightning, so Ning Fa naturally wouldn't try to seize it.
Just then, the full moon flashed with watery light and flew towards Blue Lightning, which was still in the deep pit below. Instantly, the deep pit rippled with intense watery light, as if it had transformed into a small lake.
Through his spiritual sense, Ning Fa also sensed that Blue Lightning's aura was growing stronger and stronger.
Ning Fa knew it was time. He immediately communicated with the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book in his sea of consciousness.
With a flash of white light before him, the Heavenly Book appeared.
To Ning Fa's surprise, there were now two clusters of light within the Heavenly Book, one blue and one black.
As Ning Fa's spiritual sense touched them, two pieces of information appeared in his sea of consciousness:
"Can consume 400 Third-Tier Origin Points to trace back - Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin Beast bloodline.
Can consume 600 Third-Tier Origin Points to trace back - Nether Prison Demonic Qilin bloodline."
Ning Fa was stunned. What was going on?
How did this second Nether Prison Demonic Qilin bloodline suddenly appear?
But Ning Fa quickly realized that this was very likely due to Blue Lightning devouring Qi Yan's Nascent Soul.
It was highly probable that Qi Yan possessed the Nether Prison Demonic Qilin bloodline, which had caused Blue Lightning to inherit it.
Ning Fa couldn't help but hesitate. He currently had exactly 600 Third-Tier Origin Points.
Both bloodlines could be traced back, but he could only choose one.
Although he didn't know about the Nether Prison Demonic Qilin, he assumed it was a Saint Demon on par with the Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin, perhaps even more powerful.
However, Ning Fa quickly made up his mind to proceed with tracing back the Azure Moon Heavenly Qilin bloodline as originally planned.
After all, this beast was powerful enough, and there was no need to risk tracing back this unknown Nether Prison Demonic Qilin.
Moreover, it seemed to be of dark attribute, which might conflict with his lightning techniques.
With this thought, Ning Fa no longer hesitated. He pointed a finger, and the blue cluster of light on the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book flew out, transforming into a small mass of extremely dense blue blood.
Even Ning Fa's spiritual sense felt an indescribably wild and powerful aura, making him feel a sense of awe.
The mass of blue blood flashed and disappeared into the deep pit that had become a small lake.
At the same time, intense roaring sounds could be faintly heard from outside the island.
Clearly, Hei Yu and Little Ice had already engaged with the crazed demonic beasts that were rushing over, and among them was an ancient beast resembling a Black Octopus, comparable to a Fourth-grade Demonic Beast.
Ning Fa sneered and vanished with a flash.
Subsequently, intermittent screams echoed, and the sea around this desolate island turned completely crimson, filled with countless dismembered remains of demonic beasts.
As the peculiar fragrance emitted by the Emperor Flow Sap gradually dissipated, the remaining demonic beasts finally awoke from their frenzy, their faces filled with fear as they fled backward.
A flash of silver light appeared in the air, revealing Ning Fa's figure.
Although his clothes were neat, a heavy aura of killing intent enveloped him.
In a short period, hundreds of demonic beasts had died by his hand.
At this moment, one of his spare storage rings was already filled with precious spiritual materials from at least Third-tier demonic beasts, as well as various demonic cores. It was quite a profitable haul.
Then, Ning Fa changed direction and flew back towards the desolate island. Hei Yu and Little Ice, not far away, followed closely.
The lake water in the deep pit on the island had disappeared, but it was still covered by a dazzling blue light, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from within.
Soon, the blue light gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of a slender and tall woman.
She was clad in exquisite blue light armor, which only covered the vital parts of her body, exposing a large expanse of snow-white skin. Her straight, slender legs were like white jade, dazzling to the eye.
Her appearance was delicate and radiant, possessing a very unique heroic beauty. A faint mysterious pattern formed by blue spiritual energy flickered on her brow.
She had short blue hair, giving her a heroic and spirited look.
However, her small ears were still somewhat pointed, differing from normal humans.
