My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1774

The thunder cleaver was forged using the spine of the ancient thunder beast by the revered Jonah.

The ancient thunder beast was born during a thunderstorm. It was the embodiment of heavenly thunder and was also known as the thunder spirit.

Bones from the ancient thunder beast’s skeleton were an extremely powerful source of thunder energy. They could trigger thunderbolts and also absorb the energies from millions of thunder sources.

Dermott held the thunder cleaver in his hands and brought it toward the massive thunderbolt.

Dark thunderclouds billowed around the cleaver as it consumed the purple cloud surrounding Maidee.

Maidee was stunned.

That was the heavenly thunder that Troy, the thunder god of the West, had left on Earth for him.

Somehow, it had gotten consumed by that tiny cleaver.

Which Ancient Immortal left this weapon behind on Earth?

“Your thunderbolt is with me now. Let’s see if you can take mine..”

A stern look appeared on Dermott’s face as he pointed the blade of his cleaver toward the sky.

The sky changed colors as it became filled with dozens of red-colored clouds. Maroon bolts of lightning flashed within these red clouds that flashed threateningly.

“That’s a fifth-grade Thunder Tribulation… the Herculean Thunder!”

Dante drew in a deep breath, the pitch of his voice wavering slightly as he spoke.

When he saw the martial artists staring at him, he explained, “Every time one advances from one realm to the next, they're required to experience certain tribulations. There are nine realms in total.

"For every tribulation, the Thunder Tribulation’s powers will increase. Herculean Thunder is a tribulation that only a cultivator who has advanced through all the realms would be able to survive!”

After a moment’s pause, he narrowed his eyes and said, “This youngster’s cleaver can summon Herculean Thunder, but his body may not be able to withstand it. If the thunder strikes, he’ll end up shattered into pieces as well!”

Eric’s eyes widened. “Fuck, doesn’t that mean he’s setting himself up for death?”

Dante glanced at Dermott. When he saw the look of fear and confusion in Maidee’s eyes, he lowered his eyes and said, “Unless Maidee admits defeat, this youngster will do everything to summon Herculean Thunder—even if it means dying alongside Maidee!”

Lightning flashed among the red clouds.
