Chapter Thirty-Two: The Lightning Catastrophe
From the First-Person Perspective (From the Perspective of the Ice Dragon Aison Drakon)
There was no time to hesitate. The moment the first bolt struck, a massive wave of pain surged through me, as if thousands of needles were piercing every part of my body. And yet, this was only the beginning.
So this is… the pure heavenly lightning!
I felt every cell in my body burning, but instead of resisting the pain, I opened my body completely to the heavenly energy, using every ounce of it to temper my internal organs, my bones, and my blood. I knew this opportunity was once in a lifetime—either I would emerge from this catastrophe stronger than ever before, or be completely annihilated.
But I was not the only one…
Aislin, as well as Bing Xue, Xue Lan, and my mother, were facing the same fate. Each of us was using our own method to deal with the heavenly lightning, and yet, there was something we all shared—we did not try to evade the lightning, but chose to absorb it directly into our bodies!
The Crystal Body Technique was now showing its full power. With each bolt that struck, my body shattered and regenerated at the same time, my muscles growing stronger, my bones harder, and my soul purer.
Then…
After ten strikes, the lightning began to change, shifting from white to blue, then to deep violet. At this stage, I felt a new energy flowing inside me—not just physical energy, but something else… something deeper.
The barrier of the hundred-thousand-year level had been broken!
There was no time to celebrate or even catch a breath. With the breaking of the hundred-thousand-year barrier, I felt a massive explosion of energy flowing through my veins, stronger than anything I had ever experienced. This was the decisive moment, where the true stage of evolution began.
But I was not the only one…
They too…!
I turned to see Bing Xue and Xue Lan, as well as my mother and Aislin, their bodies beginning to glow with an unprecedented energy.
The Crystal Body Technique, which I had taught them, was reacting with the heavenly lightning, allowing all of us to absorb it with incredible efficiency and to gain the heavenly lightning.
Amazing… I didn't expect all of us to break the first barrier of the Crystal Body at the same time!
But there was no time for amazement, as the lightning changed once again…
The second stage of the heavenly tribulation had begun!
From within the dark clouds, golden lightning pillars appeared, completely different from the previous strikes. This was no ordinary heavenly lightning, but the Lightning of the End—the true test for those who had surpassed the hundred-thousand-year barrier!
"This is the stage that separates the chosen few from the rest!"
This lightning didn't aim to temper the body alone—it sought to shatter the very soul, a test for those worthy of living as stronger entities.
"If I can't endure it, I'll be completely annihilated!"
With the first golden strike, I felt a complete collapse within, as if my consciousness was fading. I saw my memories slipping away, and my very soul was about to be crushed.
But…!
From the depths, my consciousness rose once again. I wasn't ready to give up… not now!
And the Emovaris bloodline ignited!
With all my will, I unleashed my full power, merging the Crystal Body Technique with my original strength, as a shroud of icy energy formed around me, glowing with sparkling flames, allowing my body and soul to hold together despite the immense pressure.
At the same time, I looked at Aislin, and saw him possessing the same shroud… radiant icy energy surrounding his body. That meant he had already entered the second stage of the Emovaris bloodline awakening!
And in the next moment…
The energy pierced through my entire body, causing a radical transformation in my structure. My old scales scattered, replaced by a completely new layer of pure energy, and my soul gained an unfamiliar radiance.
I was no longer the same being I had been moments ago…
I had been reborn!
I had ascended to an entirely new level!
And then… the storms ceased.
It was as if the sky itself had acknowledged me. I had succeeded… and so had they.
Bing Xue, Xue Lan, and my mother had benefited from the calamity as they managed to reach the first stage of the Crystal Body.
After my sister and I passed through the heavenly sorrow, they now stood beside me, while my sister was slightly delayed in flight. In that moment, the aura surrounding me was no longer merely that of a hundred thousand years, but something… far beyond that!
And at the same time, all of us had become much stronger than before.
My scales were no longer the same.
They now held a crystalline glow, and so did my mother and Aislin.
After the thunder calamity ended, I headed toward them.
As soon as the heavenly calamity ended, I felt a new power flowing within me, as if I had shed old restraints and become something greater. I looked at my body—my scales were no longer the same, now glowing with a pure crystalline shine—and so were my mother's and Aislin's. The transformation was evident on all of us, as if we had ascended to a new level of existence.
I stepped toward Bing Xue, who stood there with her new aura, her power reflected in her deep eyes. I smiled.
So, my green wife… I have fulfilled my promise to you, and now you are officially my wife. It's time to change your name from Bing Xue to Bing Hua.
She looked at me coldly at first, but soon a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Bing Hua said: "Alright, I won't break my promise… In any case, I think I've truly fallen in love with you. However, you're far too greedy—not only did you claim me, but you also took my younger sister Xue Lan's heart. Well… I don't mind that."
I smiled confidently.
Then, from today, your name will be Bing Hua. Don't worry, I promise I won't treat you and your sister any differently. You will both receive everything you deserve and more.
Bing Hua laughed.
Bing Hua said with a hint of challenge in her tone: I hope so… Anyway, you said before that you had a suitable place for my clan to live, where it contains more spiritual energy than here. Show it to me.
I nodded, then raised my hand, summoning the spiral tower. In an instant, the tower formed before us in a uniquely spiral shape.
At that moment, there was a small tower in my hand, containing a total of twelve floors, divided into four categories according to the system.
The tower consists of twelve floors, each designated for a specific purpose, making it an ideal environment for residence, training, and development.

• Designated areas for herb growers and rare resources where all types of herbs and rare resources can be cultivated.
• Heavenly energy gathering zones: designated places for attracting pure heavenly energy to be used in cultivation and training.
2- The upper middle three floors: Healing and Recovery
These floors are designated for treatment and recovery, making them ideal for cultivators and warriors who need to regain their strength. They include:

• Body and soul purification rooms: designated places for filtering impurities from the body, enhancing the practitioner's strength and increasing the purity of their energy.
3- The lower middle three floors: Living and Training Areas
These floors are designated for living and training, providing an ideal environment for daily life. They include:
• Vast areas: capable of housing hundreds of thousands of people, where luxurious homes and palaces can be built, all filled with spiritual energy.
• In this space, the construction of training academies lies: places dedicated to refining combat skills and increasing spiritual knowledge.
Or enlightenment and meditation halls: help in developing a deep understanding of celestial energy.
And markets and public facilities: including shops, restaurants, and commercial centers to meet the needs of the residents.
The lower three floors: Nursery and Evolution
These floors are designated for the growth and development of both spiritual creatures and humans, and they are equipped with:
• Nursery room: helps accelerate the hatching of spiritual beast eggs and enhances their growth.
• Training rooms for spiritual beasts and creatures: work to accelerate their growth and increase their strength.
• Adaptation and evolution halls: where spiritual creatures can improve their breeds and acquire new abilities, as well as humans or any other creatures.
