On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

A loud rumble echoed across the mountain, growing in intensity until it roared into a deafening explosion, splitting the sky like a jagged black scar.

The wind whipped around the base of the mountain, sending leaves swirling in a frantic dance.

Dark clouds, heavy with unshed rain, gathered around the peak, obscuring its once-proud granite crown in a shroud of inky darkness.

At the peak of the mountain, lightning crackled and danced across the sky, illuminating the ominous scene below. Thunder boomed, shaking the ground and rattling the surrounding trees. The atmosphere was charged with electric energy, as if nature itself was on the brink of unleashing its fury.

The storm raged on, a powerful display of nature\'s raw power and untamed beauty.

In the middle of this chaos, a figure floated effortlessly, defying gravity and the laws of nature.

The figure was a young man, his face masked by the torrential downpour. His clothes clung to his body, drenched and heavy with rain.

Despite the fierce storm, he stood tall and undeterred, his eyes fixed on the tempestuous sky above.

With each crack of thunder, his aura grew stronger. He raised his arms, as if commanding the raging elements to obey him.

"Come!" He shouted into the wind, his voice barely audible over the roaring storm. And just as he beckoned, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating his silhouette.

The lightning struck the man with a force that electrified the surrounding air.

The young man was not afraid; he embraced the chaos and found solace in its power.

His body hovered above the ground as lightning writhed within him.

Lightning painted his veins a jagged blue, each crackle a resonant echo of the storm above.

Muscles tensed and buckled in a primal dance, a desperate struggle against the raw power coursing through his flesh.

His normally calm brown eyes blazed with a blue fire, mirroring the upheaval unfolding above.

"ZzZzZ~!!~!"

Another lightning strike rushed down on him, but the man didn\'t flinch. Instead, he raised his right arm, inviting the electrical current to surge through him.

His body absorbed the energy, transforming it into a fierce energy that radiated from his very core. With each bolt of lightning that struck him, he grew stronger.

"4th Lightning~!"

"6th Lightning~!"

"10th Lightning~!"

"12th Lightning~!"

"15th Lightning~!"

"19th Lightning~!"

Far away from the young man, another figure watched as the lightning exploded around him.

The figure was that of an old man who had a wide grin on his face as he watched the young man take on the lightning strikes head-on.

"Hahaha!! This kid is really one of a kind! 19th heavenly tribulation, and still standing strong! I can\'t wait to see how much more power he can harness. It\'s been thousands of years since such a talent appeared on our continent."

"Congratulations, Grand Elder Yun, for having such a capable disciple." Another figure appeared beside the middle-aged man, dressed in flowing robes and with a wise demeanor.

Grand Elder Yun turned to acknowledge the figure with a nod, his grin widening.

"Thank you, Grand Elder Zi. I have high hopes for this young man. He possesses not only immense talent, but also unwavering determination. I believe he has the potential to surpass even us in the future." Grand Elder Zi\'s eyes gleamed with approval as he observed the young man\'s figure amidst the chaotic storm.

"Indeed. The path to greatness is paved with challenges, and it seems this young man is by no means afraid of facing them."

"Hoho, he is a rare gem indeed," Grand Elder Yun chuckled, his voice filled with satisfaction and pride that it was his disciple who was getting praised.

"I have a feeling that he will bring great honor to our sect in the Competition." Grand Elder Zi nodded in agreement, his gaze never leaving the young man.

His eyes sparkled slightly. "I hope so. My disciple is a bit short of yours, but his determination and talent make up for it. I have trained him diligently."

"We have a year and a half to prepare our disciples for that event. We, the Ten Grand Elders, would need to put our hopes and resources into cultivating them."

Grand Elder Zi said with a resolute tone.

"Our sect\'s reputation is at stake, and we cannot afford any setbacks in the competition." Grand Elder Yun nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with determination.

"ZzZzZ~!!~!"

"ZzZzZ~!!~!"

"BZZzzzz!!!!" The dark sky turned chaotic as the power inside the young man pulsed, a rebellious echo against the rumbling heavens. The storm clouds, once passive giants, writhed and churned, morphing into jagged, obsidian mountains.

Jagged veins of silver snaked across their bellies, crackling with raw power. They were no longer mere clouds but hungry beasts, their eyes focused on the lone figure below.

One particularly monstrous cloud, its mouth open as if to devour the world, amassed an unthinkable amount of energy. Inside its swirling vortex, electricity condensed into a searing white orb, pulsing with the rhythm of a beating heart.

This was no ordinary bolt, but a heavenly hammer forged in the fury of the heavens.

Its glow rivaled that of the sun, painting the landscape in stark black-and-white. The very air grew thick, carrying the metallic tang of impending annihilation.

Yet, the young man remained unfazed. His eyes glared defiantly at the sky. Under his skin, a powerful aura surged.

The two figures far away had paused in their conversation as both looked at the young man.

"Thunderclap Heart! He already can use it!" Grand Elder Zi had a shocked expression on his face, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"I can\'t believe he has already mastered that unique ability," he muttered to himself.

"Heh, my disciple is truly exceptional," Grand Elder Yun said with a mix of pride and astonishment.

"For someone to possess the Thunderclap Heart is unheard of. He is destined for greatness." Grand Elder Zi continued to watch as the young man\'s aura intensified, crackling with electric energy.

Those who possess the Thunderclap Heart are not only rarer than diamonds, but they also possess immense power. It is said that the Thunderclap Heart grants the cultivator a powerful heartbeat that resonates with lightning, allowing them to generate sonic booms and concussive blasts infused with electrical energy.

Not to mention that their affinity for the lightning element is unparalleled. Their ability to control and manipulate lightning is awe-inspiring, making them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

Legends say that those with the Thunderclap Heart have the potential to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

"ZzZzZ~!!~!"

|BOOM|

The 20th lightning struck the young man\'s body more powerfully than any strike before. The surge of electricity coursed through his veins, igniting newfound power within him.

"Bring it on!"

The young man\'s voice, raspy and filled with power, boomed across the ravaged landscape.

And the heavens answered.

BZZzzzz!!!!

The white orb unleashed itself, a strike of pure destruction hurtling towards the young man.

The ground trembled as the air itself ignited, the world shrinking to a single point of searing brilliance.

This was not merely lightning but the concentrated fury of a world, a test by fire to forge a legend or extinguish a spark.

As the bolt connected with his outstretched hand, a surge of energy coursed through his body, causing him to let out a wild roar.

"Argh!"

"Break for me!!!"

Inside the man\'s body, a new force awakened, pulsating with otherworldly energy.

"BOOOM!!"

The young man felt an overwhelming surge of power, and his strength shot up exponentially.

"Hahaha!! I, Hou Feng, finally entered the Nascent Soul realm!" A roar of triumph escaped his lips.

The lightning aura around him erupted and crackled with intensity, illuminating the dark mountain.

The onlookers watched as Hou Feng\'s presence grew.

"Hehe, Yin Yun better watch out now, let me see where you will escape this time," Hou Feng chuckled darkly, his eyes filled with greed and power.
