Chapter 639: Chapter 343: The Remaining Fruits_2

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At that moment, the sky roared with thunder once again.

The three of them looked up and saw the clouds churning, lightning flashing, and thunder rumbling, as if a new heavenly tribulation was about to descend.

This time, however, they were no longer panicked. Instead, they calmly gazed at the changes in the sky, eagerly anticipating the challenges and opportunities this might bring.

Because they knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, nothing could stop their advance!

They would forge ahead courageously and create an even more glorious tomorrow!

"It seems someone is about to break through again," Gu Sheng said with a faint smile, his deep gaze fixed on the horizon.

"Woof woof! I’ve finally broken through!" Black Sovereign roared excitedly, its body growing even more massive and robust after its breakthrough.

"Haha! I’ve broken through too!" Wu Dewang laughed heartily, his face radiant with uncontainable joy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just then, the sky thundered again. The three of them looked up and saw the clouds swirling, lightning flashing, and thunder rumbling; it seemed another heavenly tribulation was imminent.

"What’s going on?" Wu Dewang asked in confusion. "Could it be that someone else is breaking through?"

Gu Sheng smiled faintly without answering; instead, he silently observed the transformations in the sky. He knew this tribulation was unusual, and an even more spectacular battle might be on its way.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sky abruptly darkened, clouds thickened, and lightning streaked across a stormy sky, as though signaling the apocalypse. Yet, this time, the thunder didn’t target Black Sovereign, Wu Dewang, or Gu Sheng—it was aimed directly at the mysterious Divine Spring Pool.

"Huh? What’s happening?" Wu Dewang asked, looking up in confusion at the pool, where thunderclouds boiled and violet arcs of electricity danced like a dragon twisting through the clouds.

Black Sovereign paused its roaring, its gaze heavy as it fixed on the pool. "Woof woof! This tribulation... could the pool itself be undergoing heavenly tribulation?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed with insight. "It seems the pool has accumulated enough energy and is triggering a tribulation to undergo a qualitative transformation."

As his words fell, a colossal water column surged from the center of the pool, piercing the heavens. Against the backdrop of thunderclouds, it shone brilliantly, resembling a silver dragon vying with the lightning dragon in the heavens.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The thunder grew increasingly fierce as bolts of divine lightning struck the water column. With each strike, the entire Divine Spring Pool trembled violently. Yet, the pool seemed to possess sentience, absorbing the tribulation’s power relentlessly, growing stronger and purer with every bolt of lightning.

"Wondrous purple mist spreads like auspicious threads, crimson light flows as radiant rainbows," Gu Sheng murmured softly. The scene before his eyes vividly matched his poetic words. Around the pool, purple haze swirled and crimson rainbows rolled like the Immortal Realm itself. As the tribulation continued, the pool’s water began to bubble violently, shooting droplets outward—each drop brimming with boundless energy.

Black Sovereign and Wu Dewang stared, dumbfounded. "This is way too spectacular!" Wu Dewang exclaimed.

"Woof woof! This is what a true heavenly tribulation looks like!" Black Sovereign couldn’t help but marvel.

The thunderclouds overhead grew thicker, and the divine lightning grew mightier. The water column from the pool began to distort under the strikes, seemingly on the verge of collapse. However, after every bolt, it would tenaciously recover, continuing its ascent into the skies.

As time passed, the water level of the pool gradually dropped. Each strike of divine lightning depleted some of its waters. Slowly but surely, the remaining water became exceptionally pure and powerful.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Finally, with the last strike of lightning, the pool’s water evaporated completely, leaving not a single drop behind. At its center, a bottomless spring now shimmered with a mysterious radiance, as if all the power had condensed into this small, glowing spring, awaiting its next eruption.

The group expressed heartfelt thanks to Gu Sheng, their voices brimming with gratitude and respect. "Brother Gu, you’re truly a blessing to us! Meeting you on this journey has been our greatest fortune!" Kou Hai said with emotion, gripping Gu Sheng’s hand tightly.

Gu Sheng laughed and waved a hand dismissively. "We’re all brothers—there’s no need for formalities. Coming across the Divine Spring Pool was a stroke of fate for us all."

Watching the others lost in the Divine Spring’s wonders, Black Sovereign and Wu Dewang also stepped forward, smiling at the scene.

"You lot act like you’ve never seen the world," Black Sovereign teased. "This little bit of Divine Spring has you so enraptured—imagine if you obtained even greater treasures. Wouldn’t you lose your minds?"

Wu Dewang chimed in, "Exactly! We’ve picked up quite a few valuables this time."

Upon hearing this, Kou Hai and the others immediately surrounded them. "Black Sovereign, Brother Wu, you must’ve made some substantial gains as well—could you spare a little for the rest of us?"

Black Sovereign shot them a sideways glance and snorted. "You greedy kids never know when to stop. We did acquire a few treasures, but they can’t be simply handed out."

"Exactly!" Wu Dewang agreed. "It took us a Herculean effort to claim these prizes!"

The disappointed faces of Kou Hai and the others didn’t deter them; instead, they persisted in coaxing Black Sovereign and Wu Dewang, hoping for a share.

"Enough! Quit pestering them," Gu Sheng intervened to smooth things over. "I’ve got some things here I can share with you." As he spoke, he retrieved several verdant leaves from his Space Ring and handed them out. "These leaves may not be supreme treasures, but they do carry some value—take them."

Kou Hai and the others accepted the leaves joyfully. "Thank you, Brother Gu!" they said in chorus. Though simple leaves, they were an extraordinary find in their eyes.
