r imagination."Although their combat power isn't as strong as ours from the Xuanyuan Pavilion for now, it takes us decades, even several decades to cultivate a master, while they can just casually cre...Feeling the powerful auras of the two, Ye Bufan let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the risk he had taken was still worthwhile.
Cultivation is indeed against the heavens, and only under extreme danger can one squeeze out their full potential.
To be pushed to the brink of death is sometimes the only way to truly revive. Had they not been in such peril, perhaps these two would never have broken through so quickly.
"Roar!"
Xiaoqing let out a roar, her dragon's cry shook the heavens and earth. Her entire body shimmered with golden light, and a massive aura spread throughout the arena.
The Dragon Clan bloodline posed only a minor threat to the Nine Nether Yin Sky Python before, but now that it has entered the ranks of the Ninth Rank Xian Yao Beasts, its power has surged dramatically.
Get out of here!
Xiao Qing, as if going mad, charged directly forward. A giant claw shot out to protect Ye Bufan, and her massive body collided heavily with the Jiuyou Yintian Python.
"Boom..."
A deafening roar echoed as a furious gale swept through the area, reducing countless ancient trees to dust and shattering even the stones.
The head-on collision of two ninth-order celestial monsters was truly awe-inspiring.
Even with the protection of Xiao Qing's massive dragon claw, Ye Bufan was still shaken, his qi and blood surging.
Although Xiaqing is a ninth-rank cultivator, her strength is still slightly inferior to that of the Jiuyu Yintian Python. Although she has the bloodline of the Dragon Clan to make up for it, her overall strength is still at a disadvantage.
After all, it is a king among ninth-order immortal monsters, only a hair's breadth away from the tenth order.
Therefore, even this clash was still at a disadvantage, forcing Ye Bufan to retreat over a thousand zhang away.
The Nine Nether Underworld Python felt much calmer. Although the dragon bloodline had a great suppression on it, it was ultimately still in the upper hand.
And at that moment, a sword beam a hundred zhang long slashed through the sky, the Lu Xian Sword drawn, bearing the might of heaven-shattering destruction.
The Nine Nether Shadow Python sensed a tremendous danger and hastily dodged, but it was ultimately too late.
Its once-formidable size had become a liability, slashed by the sword's edge, leaving a gash several meters long.
"Roar!"
Seeing that he had actually been injured, the Jiuyou Yintian Python let out a earth-shattering roar.
Just as it was preparing to strike back, suddenly dark clouds gathered in mid-air, and gigantic thunder rolled incessantly.
Divine Tribulation! Or perhaps the Divine Tribulation of a celestial fairy breaking through to become an immortal!
Though not as formidable as Ye Bufan's experience with the Extinction Thunder Tribulation, it was still undeniably awe-inspiring.
The Nine Nether Yin Sky Python was about to make a move, but when it saw the lightning tribulation in mid-air, it was taken aback and immediately retreated.
It knows the lightning tribulation like the back of its hand, and once provoked, it will relentlessly pursue you to your demise. You will face unimaginable catastrophe if you dare cross it.
Ye Bufan was not surprised. Before, Leng Qingqiu had broken through in the Dragon King's Palace. The rules of heaven and earth there were incomplete and could shield the heavenly secrets, so naturally there would be no tribulation.
But now that we're out here, there's no escaping it.
The intense battle just now came to a brief halt. Leng Qingqiu was crossing the tribulation, and the Jiuyu Yintian Python dared not provoke her for fear of heavenly tribulation descending upon it.
Xiaoqing knew she wouldn't stand a chance against him alone, and she was also worried about Ye Bufan's safety. So, she stayed on guard without attacking.
Leng Qingqiu's expression was grim. She had previously crossed a tribulation, flying from Earth to the Immortal Realm.
But the power of that lightning strike was nothing compared to this one, it was a thousandfold stronger.
To say that one is not afraid facing the rolling thunder is a lie. Under such might, even the slightest carelessness could lead to soul shattering, without even a chance for reincarnation.
She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid of being separated from her loved one.
And just then, a calm voice sounded in her ear: "Don't worry, I'm here, it's okay!"
Of course, it was Ye Bufan speaking. He could be considered an expert at surviving tribulation now. While others feared the Heavenly Tribulation, he felt no anxiety whatsoever.
Holding the high-grade celestial artifact, Yu Lei Hulu, which can even withstand the extinction thunder tribulation, this tribulation before my eyes is just a trifle.
However, transcending tribulation still offers immense benefits to immortals, so he merely observed from the sidelines, waiting for a critical moment before making his move.
Ling Qingqiu didn't know about this, but due to her trust in her husband, she immediately calmed down. She kept her heart still and held the Lu Xian Sword, waiting to face the Heavenly Tribulation.
"
Boom!
"
A bolt of thunder echoed, signaling the end of the Heavenly Tribulation's brewing, and the first tribulation descended!
A colossal bolt of lightning tore through the sky, carrying with it an endless sense of oppression, crashing down with terrifying force.
Compared to the Extinction Thunder Tribulation, this bolt of lightning, while looking formidable, lacked that extremely terrifying aura of destruction. It was much easier to deal with.
Leng Qingqiu made her move first, before the thunder could strike her. Countless sword beams slashed out.
Now that she has obtained the inheritance of the first Sword Immortal, her understanding of sword intent has reached a higher level. Coupled with the Lushan Sword, she has pushed her swordsmanship to the limit.
The sharp sword qi ripped through the air with a piercing sound, even heaven's thunder would be unable to withstand it, ultimately being cleaved into fragments and dissipating into nothingness.
The first tribulation thunder passed, appearing effortless.
The Nine Nether Sky Devouring Python watched from the side, its huge pupils flickering with cold light, thinking about something unknown.
The second bolt of lightning descended, and Leng Qingqiu once again used her powerful swordsmanship to shatter the thunder.
Third, fourth, fifth, sixth…
Six consecutive lightning strikes, she withstood them all by relying on her powerful swordsmanship.
At this moment, the robbery cloud in mid-air showed no sign of dissipating, instead becoming increasingly dark. Countless bolts of lightning power churned ceaselessly within the black clouds.
Ye Bufan secretly sighed, it seemed his guess was right. With Leng Qingqiu's strength, attracting the Ninth Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was indeed inevitable.
The seventh heavenly tribulation descended, with the number of lightning bolts surging from six to twelve.
Although Leng Qingqiu did her best, the Lúxiān Sword in her hand only blocked eleven bolts of heavenly thunder. In the end, one still struck her.
With a deafening boom, she was sent sprawling to the ground. Luckily, her current Xian Yuan power was formidable, so her injuries weren't serious; only a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
Here you go:"Take it."
Ye Bufan waved his hand, and a bottle of healing pills flew over.
Lán Qīng caught a mouthful of the cold autumn air, then once again gripped his Lùxiān sword. His gaze, as cold as ice, fixed upon the thunder tribulation in mid-air.
The whole person exuded a sharp sword intent, their aura grew stronger and stronger, without any sign of retreat.
The tribulation in mid-air seemed to be enraged, another wave of thunderclouds rolled, and twenty-four bolts of heavenly lightning descended.
Leng Qingqiu put all her strength into it, and the Lu Xian Sword in her hand erupted with unstoppable sword energy, but in the end, it only blocked twelve strikes.
Then the next twelve bolts of lightning began to wreak havoc on her body, tearing apart her protective fairy qi and then her flesh. Blood splattered everywhere.
Fortunately, she had swallowed a large amount of healing pills beforehand and ultimately managed to withstand it. Although she was seriously injured, she was not in any danger of death.
Jiuyu Tuntian was shocked to see everything before him. The Ninefold Thunder Tribulation, he had never seen it before.
The power is truly terrifying, even my incredibly strong body couldn't withstand it.
...and was also amazed by Leng Qingqiu's power, who single-handedly withstood the eight thunder tribulations. ...
At that very moment, thunder roared in the sky, and the ninth tribulation thunder descended. Forty-eight bolts of heavenly lightning fell like rain.
The Jiuyou Swallowing Heaven Python let out a silent breath of relief in its heart. This woman was finished, such a heavy internal injury couldn't withstand this final tribulation at all.
This way, he would have one less formidable opponent. Otherwise, if Xiaqing and the other teamed up, he wouldn't stand a chance. helped the father and daughter accelerate the absorption and refining.Jiang Ran swallowed the pill, and afterward an incredibly pure celestial power surged from her dantian, enveloping her whole body...
