Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 723: Chapter 743: Sudden Turn of Events

Watching the bolt of lightning strike down from the sky, Chu Lin was startled. Although this lightning wouldn’t cause much harm to him, the numbing pain all over still made him uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, a blue lightning bolt as thick as a barrel struck down, and Chu Lin endured the exquisite sensation it brought him with a helpless expression, feeling as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his body, entirely struck into the yellow sand. Surprisingly, the Tree of the Five Elements wasn’t even slightly damaged.

After a long while, Chu Lin climbed up from the yellow sand, looking like someone who had just dug coal, all covered in black, and his clothes were gone, completely resembling a wild man.

Looking at his own sorry state, Chu Lin smiled bitterly, ”Damn! There are still four Five Elements Fruits to gather, which means enduring twelve more lightning strikes. This time, I’m really playing it big; my life really is tough.”

”You brat really don’t know what’s good for you, counting your blessings while acting coy. The transformation this lightning brings to your body is something countless people dream of. You think anyone could withstand such lightning? If you’re completely transformed by this Five Elements Thunder, I believe over eighty percent of impurities in your body will be removed, and your cultivation speed will be like a thousand miles a day.

I’m so envious; even the top experts in the Immortal Realm may not have a pure body like yours, and you get to obtain these Five Elements Fruits. Why don’t you get struck dead by the lightning, it’s really infuriating.” Sword Spirit couldn’t help but exclaim in anger.

”Hehe! I’m just saying, why are you so angry? Besides, look at me; I really feel miserable like this.” Chu Lin laughed.

He looked up at the sky; at this moment, the dark clouds had disappeared, reverting to their dark red color, no longer resembling the earlier stormy sky full of lightning and thick clouds.

After introspection of his body, Chu Lin found some granular blue crystals in his meridians, each shimmering with blue lightning, leaving Chu Lin puzzled about this phenomenon.

”What are these blue crystals, Sister Yue’Er, do you know?” Chu Lin asked.

”They’re Water Thunder Crystals, an extremely rare Thunder Element. Because you have a Thunder Spirit Body, they naturally form. When you fully endure this Five Elements Thunder, other attribute Thunder Crystals will form as well, and at that time, you’ll be the first to possess Five Elements Thunder Crystals. When your strength reaches a certain level, the attack power you unleash won’t be weaker than the Five Elements Thunder.” Sword Spirit explained.

”So powerful? Then won’t I be rich? Once I learn Thunder Transformation, who in the Netherworld can be my match?” Chu Lin instantly laughed, thinking about the frightening power he would have, picturing how he would use lightning to kill people in the future.

Just one random lightning strike could make someone look like a stricken ghost, and there’s a chance to seriously injure them. Being struck by lightning causes numbness, essentially making the opponent stand still for you to strike, a peerless skill for killing and silencing.

”Don’t be happy too early; there’s still the matter of inputting elements into four fruits. Remember to use the Fire Element last, or else you’ll burn the Tree of the Five Elements to death, which really wouldn’t be worth it.” Sword Spirit warned.

Chu Lin was startled; if Sword Spirit hadn’t said that, he had really planned to try using the Fire Element on the fruit he thought was the Fire Fruit. So he immediately used Earth Transformation, allowing the Earth Element to rapidly touch the four fruits, quickly discovering that one was frantically absorbing.

After finding the target, Chu Lin began the tedious input process, similar to obtaining the fruits, it took almost two days to obtain the Earth Fruit, likewise accepting the baptism of Earth Thunder, leaving him extremely frustrated.

Time passed, and the subsequent acquisition of the Golden Fruit and Wood Fruit was relatively quicker. The greatest harvest was undoubtedly the Wood Fruit; the green Wood Thunder was Life Thunder, speechlessly enhancing Chu Lin’s life force.

Additionally, it significantly improved injury recovery, if at that moment he was severely injured by the Viper, he was sure it would take no more than an hour to fully recover, a drastic improvement compared to before.

Calculating the time, there were only two days left before leaving this place, and he should manage after obtaining the Fire Fruit. However, as the Fire Fruit was about to mature, Chu Lin encountered trouble.

The desert’s climate was dry and hot, resulting in many Fire Attribute Nether Beasts appearing here. When the previous four fruits matured, the terrifying lightning in the sky kept these Nether Beasts at bay, but when the Fire Fruit matured, the rich Fire Element was something any Fire Attribute Nether Beast wanted.

Chu Lin continued inputting the Fire Element into the last fruit, but dozens of various Nether Beast creatures appeared around him. These Nether Beasts weren’t genuine Nether Beasts, as they required absorbing energy from Illusion Stones and also desperately needed Fire Attribute Energy.

People die for wealth, birds die for food; this is the most realistic portrayal of the world. Chu Lin glanced at the surrounding Nether Beasts and found one whose strength rivaled a Tyrannosaurus—a Fire Scorpion, very similar to what he encountered in Mist Forest.

Its two enormous pincers gleamed ominously; if caught, even a steel body would be snapped, ”These damn creatures, why’d they show up now? If I don’t show them a lesson, they’ll really think they can bully me.” Chu Lin said in frustration.

The Fire Fruit was soon to mature, and dark clouds began gathering again, with rumbling thunder in the sky. Chu Lin was a bit anxious at that moment, realizing a few fearless creatures were approaching him.

Chu Lin knew that obtaining the Fire Fruit required enduring the Thunder Tribulation first. But the final Fire Thunder could definitely knock him several meters away or into the yellow sand, and then the Fire Fruit would be seized by these Nether Beasts. Retrieving it would be troublesome.

”Sister Yue’Er, after the Fire Fruit matures, can you help me pick it? I’m too occupied to do it myself!” Chu Lin immediately asked Sword Spirit.

”I cannot do that; the Fire Element on the Fire Fruit is the flame of heaven and earth, posing a great threat to Soul Bodies. If I picked it, the Fire Element might consume me, and you understand the consequences.” Sword Spirit replied.

Chu Lin panicked upon hearing that; if even Sword Spirit couldn’t assist him, then the Fire Fruit would be the Nether Beasts’. But in his anxiety, Sword Spirit spoke:

”Though I can’t pick the Fire Fruit for you, I can help fend off some of these Nether Beast monsters. My power is limited, so you need to hurry.” Sword Spirit stated.

”Just your words are enough; I won’t disappoint you!” Chu Lin immediately smiled, and at this moment, the Fire Fruit had matured, ready for picking after the Thunder Tribulation.

Initially, Chu Lin thought the other fruits were like ordinary fruits, obtainable after one lightning strike. But the subsequent three required three lightning strikes to fully mature, leaving him a bit puzzled. However, at that moment, a fiery red lightning bolt struck down from the sky...
