Chapter 256 Overcoming the Tribulation
Inside, the lights were on and people were chatting and laughing, while outside, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and rain poured down.
At midnight, when disaster struck, the sky was as black as ink, and thick, dark clouds covered the entire world, completely obscuring the light of the stars and moon.
The entire world seemed to have been abandoned in the abyss before the storm. A suffocating, violent atmosphere permeated the air, and the unprecedented catastrophe on the Misty Continent continued to fester.
At this moment, thunder rumbled among the mountains, like the roar of an angry dragon, restless and uneasy. And atop a towering cliff, a majestic and ferocious bird stood proudly, its body covered with shimmering golden feathers—it was none other than Little Gold.
Its state was far from calm. The storm seemed to have awakened a dormant power within it. It seemed to sense a call from the depths of its blood, a test from heaven, and also an opportunity for awakening.
As the one that defies the wind among the Golden Feathered Eagles, its fate will resonate with heaven and earth tonight. It must break through its own limits, embrace the baptism of thunder, and complete a phoenix-like transformation.
Blazing white lightning flashed continuously within the deep, dark clouds, and the deafening roar seemed to tear the sky apart. A gust of wind, carrying biting rain, swept in, stirring up withered branches and fallen leaves across the mountains and fields, while the distant forests emitted a mournful sound.
A river winding through the valley, already at a high level, is now even more turbulent due to the torrential rain. The river roars and crashes against the banks, swallowing up boulders and ancient trees as it surges forward with a deafening roar.
Lightning flashed across the sky, casting blurry outlines of the mountains. Little Goldfish, perched atop the cliff, was bathed in the stormy night. The wind and rain lashed its feathers, but it remained unmoved, its wings pressed tightly against its body. Its sharp, deep eyes stared at the rolling thunderclouds on the horizon, its heart filled with fighting spirit and anticipation.
Instead of instilling fear in it, the destructive power of nature ignited the wildness within it. It sensed that its time had come.
Suddenly, a bolt of silvery-white lightning struck down from the sky, like the wrath of heaven and earth, directly hitting the rock beneath Xiao Jin's feet. The boulder instantly shattered into countless fragments, but Xiao Jin stood firmly, his figure as resilient as a sculpture.
The aftershocks of lightning swirled around its wings, seemingly dancing wildly in anticipation of its impending breakthrough. It raised its head and let out a clear, resonant cry, the eagle's call piercing the wind and rain, echoing across the heavens!
After this long cry, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to fluctuate violently. The torrential rain that had been pouring down was suddenly stirred up by the gale, and the rainwater formed a vortex around Xiao Jin, while a hazy golden light began to appear around it.
First came a faint ray of light, then gradually a dazzling golden radiance, the gold like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire cliff.
Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, Little Gold slowly unfurled its wings. Specks of light gathered on its two golden feathers, each feather appearing as if enveloped by countless golden bolts of lightning. The intense beams of light made it look like a divine bird from the heavens. It raised its head and gazed directly at the sky, seemingly challenging the churning thunderclouds.
Xiao Jin's action seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of heaven and earth. A sudden, intense tremor came from the sky, and moments later, a thick bolt of purplish-gold lightning struck down from the thunderclouds, heading straight for Xiao Jin!
This thunderous power contained a world-destroying force, evaporating the surrounding rainwater into a vast expanse of white mist, like a raging dragon baring its fangs and claws, tearing apart the wilderness.
Little Gold didn't dodge. It let out a proud eagle cry, leaped into the air, and met the attack with all its might. Its huge golden wings suddenly flapped, summoning a powerful storm that forcefully shook the falling lightning.
Purple-gold lightning intertwined with golden wings, and its feathers emitted a faint, radiant hum as it gradually absorbed the power of lightning into its body.
However, this was only the beginning. After the first lightning tribulation, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be enraged, and thunderbolts continued to rain down.
They pounced on Xiao Jin with ferocious force, completely engulfing the area around the cliff in layers of lightning. Golden light and lightning flashed intermittently, thunder roared, and the aftershocks surged, whipping up countless raindrops and mists, forming a stormy domain.
Despite the continuous lightning tribulations, Little Gold stood tall, its golden radiance growing stronger and stronger, as intense as the sun.
It did not resist the baptism of thunder, but instead spread its wings and actively met each strike. Under the tempering of thunder, its feathers became stronger and more powerful, with lightning faintly coiled within each feather.
Its surging bloodline is awakening, and a mysterious aura is gradually spreading out.
When the last and most powerful bolt of lightning struck, it was as if a giant gap had been torn open in the night sky, and the purple-gold lightning struck Xiao Jin with unstoppable force.
At the same time, Little Gold raised its head and let out the most awe-inspiring cry of its life, a cry that contained its declaration to heaven and earth and its breakthrough of the limits!
"boom--!"
As the thunder struck it, an incomparably pure energy surged from its body—the true awakened power of the Golden Feather Sky Eagle bloodline!
Its body was enveloped in a blinding golden light, with lightning spreading along its feathers, as if it had become the embodiment of thunder. The intertwined golden light and lightning made it resemble a rising golden sun, completely igniting the stormy night sky.
At this moment, the light from the ancient bronze lamps in the bronze hall flickered eerily once again.
At the same time, as the lightning strike ended, the wind and rain subsided for a moment. The rain hung in the air, the thunder ceased, and the mountains fell into a deathly silence. And in this silence, Xiao Jin completed its transformation.
Its size was much more robust and imposing than before, several times larger than before the breakthrough. Its feathers were no longer simply golden, but radiated a layer of flowing lightning, with lightning seemingly dancing on each feather, as if carrying destructive power.
Especially its wings, which are covered with dazzling golden arcs of electricity, and flash with purple-gold light when it flaps its wings, enough to tear the heavens and the earth apart.
Its eyes became deeper and brighter, like golden lakes that held the stars, revealing an all-powerful majesty. A dazzling lightning mark appeared in the center of its forehead, the supreme mark bestowed upon it by thunder, symbolizing that it had mastered the wind and thunder and embraced the sky.
Little Jin spread its wings and soared into the sky, looking down at the earth. The flood disaster brought by the torrential rain had submerged large areas of mountains and forests.
However, its breakthrough was not only due to its own strength, but also because it possessed a new power—the ability to control lightning. After a cry of an eagle, it flapped its wings and roared, drawing the wandering lightning in the sky and directing bolts of lightning to its wings.
The lingering torrential rain was dispersed by the strong winds caused by Xiao Jin's flapping wings, and the thick thunderclouds seemed to gradually recede as a result of its breakthrough.
Having been baptized by thunder, Little Gold stood quietly atop the cliff, appearing incomparably noble. Its golden wings shimmered with a sacred radiance in the still drifting rain, like a dazzling golden sun hanging between heaven and earth.
The little gold, with its intertwined lightning and gold hues, resembles a lightning god descending to earth, proclaiming its rise and power in an absolutely perfect manner.
Then, its figure disappeared into the horizon at the end of the storm, carrying the afterglow of thunder, cutting through the darkness, becoming the most dazzling eagle king against the wind on the night of the flood disaster.
Having undergone the baptism of thunder, the resonance between its bloodline and the thunder made it no longer the original Golden Feather Sky Eagle!
