Many hours had passed since Lu Zheng had closed his eyes but Themur did not even leave once.
He watched Lu Zheng keenly to watch what his master had in mind.
He knew that Lu Zheng was a straightforward person and would not stand in the open air for no reason.
Hence, he was curious as to what Lu Zheng planned to do even though the sky was already pitch black with the glistening moon radiating a cold light.
Soon, a change eventually befell Lu Zheng.
A strong burst of fire Qi emanated from Lu Zheng before swirling around his body rapidly.
With Lu Zheng in the centre, a swirling cyclone of fire revolved as many fiery beasts were formed.
Vermillion Birds, Fire Dragons, many creatures of extreme yang attribute flew around Lu Zheng rapidly.
"What is this…?" Themur was stunned greatly by what was happening.
Meanwhile, the dark sky became darker as dark clouds formed. Many bolts of white lightning coiled within the dark clouds.
Apprehension filled Themur as he stared at the dark clouds from which thunder boomed. He had seen those exact clouds before.
They were the same clouds that had formed when he underwent tribulation in Hawaii and became rank five.
"Hmm!" A thought formed in Themur's mind.
The dark clouds were in the sky and the only person other than him here was Lu Zheng.
Moreover, Lu Zheng was at the very centre of a very strange phenomenon.
This meant that Lu Zheng was about to undergo tribulation.
"Sprack!"
The heart wrenching sound of lightning could be heard as a bolt of white lightning suddenly struck Lu Zheng.
The fire Qi that swirled around him faltered for a moment before gathering again.
"Lightning! Are we under attack!?"
"Impossible! Who would dare to attack a ship belonging to Blazing Flame Palace?"
"This lightning… isn't this the white lightning tribulation?"
"White lightning tribulation?"
"…"
The sudden lightning strike had alarmed the many guards that watched over the ship that they were thrown into a raucous argument.
The many guards swiftly decided to search for the cause of lightning.
Naturally, the five Void Passage realm martial practitioners on the ship also noticed the commotion and stepped out.
"This… someone on the ship is undergoing tribulation!" A beautiful female that went by the name Ele said.
"Who could be undergoing tribulation at this time? Aren't all the guards at the Sky realm?" A man by the name Kalani muttered as he held his chin.
"Lu Zheng!" Olina exclaimed before tearing open a spatial passage that led to the deck where the lightning had just struck.
"Lu Zheng?" Launi repeated before following after Olina.
The remaining three Void Passage realm martial practitioners shared a look of confusion before tearing open their own spatial passages.
They wanted to see what the matter was all about.
Still standing on the open deck was Lu Zheng with abundant fire Qi swirling around him.
The rank five beast core had long since turned to dust.
Sweat beads formed on his head as he gritted his teeth. He seemed to be in obvious pain.
After the bolt of white lightning struck him, Lu Zheng intentionally absorbed the lightning and thunder energy within it and circulated it around his body.
This way, the lightning energy tempered his body in the most painful manner instead of simply dissipating.
Lu Zheng was using his own tribulation to cultivate his own body.
"It is Lu Zheng!" Olina exclaimed after flying out of a spatial passage.
Right after her were Launi, Ele, Kalani and Alaka'i, the fifth Void Passage realm martial practitioner.
"I haven't seen him before. Is he the one undergoing tribulation?" Ele asked with a feminine chuckle.
"Hmm. It's simply impossible!" Olina couldn't stop herself from exclaiming.
"What's so special about breaking through to the Sky realm?" Launi sneered.
"It's special because just a month ago, he was just at the second tier of Domain Formation realm" Olina replied.
"Second tier!? Two months ago!?" The others exclaimed in unplanned unison.
"What a talent!" Kalani exclaimed.
