The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Why would there be a thunder punishment? I haven't done anything outrageous to both humans and gods!" She finally flew to the hilltop where she had been when she was undergoing the tribulation. Looking at the dark clouds of tribulation above her head, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing heavily on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Because the instrument you refined, or perhaps the laws you comprehended, are flawed. The laws of time are inherently unique, and you may have comprehended the laws of retroactivity, which disrupt order. Once you refine a instrument, the universe will recognize its uniqueness. Only you can possess it, and it will belong to you for life. You can use it repeatedly to create it, but anyone can replicate it.

Therefore, for this unique characteristic, heaven and earth will bring down thunder punishment. This thunder punishment does not belong to the two-dimensional world, nor to the three-dimensional world, nor to other higher-dimensional worlds. It belongs to time! I don't know what time gives you, but it will only affect you.

"Did you know that I would face this?" Hu Xingtong couldn't believe it. If Chen Wu knew the uniqueness of the law of time, why would he let himself face the punishment of thunder? This was not a good thing for him at this moment.

[I know this thunder punishment isn't bad for you. Use your time artifact to collect some. This kind of heavenly thunder will be very beneficial for tempering your body.]

I believe that you are of great benefit, but whether I can survive this thunder punishment is still a question.

Hu Xingtong was so angry that she couldn't speak. She always felt powerless, as if she was being played around by a fool. No, it was the feeling of being played around by a crazy gambler.

Hu Xingtong took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic and discontent. She looked around, noticing that the surrounding rocks and vegetation seemed particularly withered under the pressure of the calamity clouds. Only the place where she stood, having once been the site of her tribulation, seemed to still retain a trace of unyielding will, a faint resonance with her.

"Okay, then I'll try!" She gritted her teeth, quickly formed seals with her hands, and activated all the protective magic weapons on her body. At the same time, the magic weapon containing the law of time slowly rotated in her palm, emitting a faint light, as if whispering, silently resisting the impending heavenly calamity.

The first bolt of heavenly thunder cut through the sky like a dragon, striking down with a deafening roar. Hu Xingtong raised the magic weapon in his hand high, and in an instant a silver-white beam of light rose from under his feet, actually cutting the calamity cloud in half.

Seeing this scene, not only the person involved was stunned, but even the group of people watching not far away were stunned. Splitting the sky with bare hands, and doing it with a damaged heart of Taoism, was a bit against the will of heaven.

"Tanluo, is the magic weapon in Xingxing's hand newly refined?" The Seventh Elder, who came rushing over after hearing the sound, asked worriedly.

Tan Luo glanced at Tan Yuruo and Ling Xian behind him and nodded: "Yeah."

Meanwhile, Hu Xingtong looked at the magical weapon in his hand, then at the Jieyun that had been cut in half and was still repairing itself. He couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of his only magical weapon. A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he almost blurted out, "Duankong, how about your name being Duankong? Duankong Pan."

The magic weapon in his hand seemed to respond to what Hu Xingtong said, emitting vibrations that flashed with silver light, as if it was also happy for the good name. Hu Xingtong could feel a subtle resonance, which was the same feeling that Qing Huanjian gave him. Perhaps this was the beauty of using one's own spiritual bones to cast weapons, directly nurturing spiritual consciousness.

As the calamity clouds gathered again, Hu Xingtong felt an unprecedented surge of fighting spirit. She took a deep breath and immersed herself completely in the Sky-Severing Disk, sensing the laws of time flowing through it and attempting to connect more closely with it.

The second bolt of lightning was even more ferocious than the first, surging like a raging wave. However, Hu Xingtong was no longer as panicked and helpless as she had been at first. She gripped the Sky-Breaking Disk tightly with both hands, silently chanting an incantation. Suddenly, a bright light shone from the disk, forming a massive shield that completely blocked the lightning.

"Xingxing, quit while you're ahead. With your current physical condition, you can only activate defense three times at most. Trust me, this thunder punishment is what you need most right now." Chen Wu's voice suddenly rang out again. Hu Xingtong took it to heart and thought about giving it a try.

Fortunately, Chen Wu has never lied to me, otherwise I would have to be on guard against her right now.

Looking at the third lightning punishment that was about to strike overhead, Hu Xingtong wanted to know how many more there were: "How many lightning punishments are there?"

[Jiudao, use the Sky-breaking Disk to collect the third and fourth Heavenly Thunders, and you will handle the rest by yourself.]

"Didn't it say it can only be used three times?"

[I told you to use it to absorb the thunder, not to bear it.] Chen Wu really felt that her brain was not very smart now. She couldn't understand what people were saying, no, what people were saying.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xingtong couldn't help but pat his head in annoyance and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, it really hasn't come to my mind. Okay, I'll do as you say!"

As the third heavenly thunder came crashing down, Hu Xingtong did not resist it directly this time. Instead, he raised the Sky-Breaking Disk high up. The light on the disk flickered, and it seemed as if a huge vortex had formed, madly swallowing up the power of the heavenly thunder.

The power of heavenly thunder raged in the Sky-Breaking Disk, colliding and merging with the laws of time within it, eventually transforming into a pure and powerful force that was locked within the Sky-Breaking Disk. Only Hu Xingtong could sense a faint hint of the power of thunder.

"It's really amazing!" Hu Xingtong was overjoyed and felt grateful to Chen Wu.

Then, the fourth thunderbolt arrived as expected. Hu Xingtong followed suit, absorbing it once again with the Sky-breaking Disk.

However, when the fifth thunderbolt fell, Hu Xingtong put away the Duankong Plate and planned to withstand the blow.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and relied on her physical strength to fight against the thunder.

However, just when she thought that she would be seriously injured or fall to the ground by the thunder, a subtle aura enveloped her, and tiny electric sparks sparked on her body, crackling and spreading to every corner of her body.

This subtle numbing sensation made Hu Xingtong feel comfortable, as if the electric current also contained something else. After flowing through his whole body, his ruptured meridians were almost healed.

The blocked spiritual power seemed to be released at this moment, rising in one fell swoop until it broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Hu Xingtong couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. His Dao heart was blocked and it was impossible for him to improve his realm. But now it seemed like he was overthinking it. Not only did his realm increase instead of decrease, but his physical strength also increased a lot. It was just like Chen Wu said, this thunder punishment was what he needed most at this moment.

"Xiao Wuzi, how do you know the effect of this thunder punishment?"

Chen Wu didn't answer, and Hu Xingtong thought she didn't want to say it. He thought that maybe she had experienced the same situation in her previous life and had gained experience.

From this perspective, this thunder punishment is not really a punishment at all, but rather a thunder bath from heaven, giving oneself a chance to be reborn from the ashes.
