Crossing Tribulation Lightning with One's Body; A Thousand Years of Friendship Between the Li Clan and the Heavenly Star Sect

At that moment, a phoenix cry rang out.

A massive red figure shot swiftly from a cave dwelling deep within Maple Leaf Valley, soaring high into the sky. It flew straight out of the Valley Protecting Grand Array and met the tribulation lightning head-on.

The two collided, instantly erupting with a thunderous boom that echoed across the heavens.

Once all movement had subsided, that enormous red figure revealed itself.

It was a cluster of crimson fire several zhang wide. A considerable remnant of the tribulation lightning that had fallen earlier still lingered within those flames.

At the heart of the crimson fire was a fire phoenix only several zhang in size. A layer of fiery-red feathers covered its body, drifting in the breeze like flickering flames. Its eyes were sharp, its form graceful, and a black phoenix crest crowned its head.

With every breath the fire phoenix took, a thread of the tribulation lightning trapped within the crimson flames entered its body, tempering its physique and steadily strengthening the aura of its fleshly body.

Ling Pengyun was greatly shocked by the sight.

As expected of Nascent Soul tribulation lightning. I never imagined that the very first bolt alone would possess the force of a Golden Core Seventh Layer cultivator's full-strength strike.

Still, this Li Clan Crimson Fire Phoenix's method of drawing in tribulation lightning to temper its body has the same marvelous effect by different routes as the Lightning Destruction Grand Array and the Lightning Guiding Tribulation Crossing Grand Array!

He then turned his head toward Li Xuanyuan True Lord, who was surrounded by Li Clan cultivators not far away and continuously forming hand seals to cast techniques. Ling Pengyun's expression shifted slightly as he secretly guessed.

*Could that method of trapping tribulation lightning be the handiwork of Li Xuanyuan
