Boom!
The violent roar of thunder resounded between heaven and earth.
A shocking Tribulation Lightning crashed down.
The terrifying power made Guang Chengzi's body abruptly halt, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.
"The power of the Tribulation Lightning has actually increased?"
"Is this warning me?"
"Hmph!"
"I am a Saint Disciple, the Head of Chan Sect Second Generation Disciples!"
"Could a few bolts of Tribulation Lightning possibly scare me back?"
"Since the Heavenly Dao has issued no clear warning, I can naturally soar into the sky..."
Not only did this terrifying Tribulation Lightning fail to frighten Guang Chengzi away, it instead stirred the pride deep within him.
With a sudden surge of his aura, an Azure Treasure Sword radiating astonishing Innate Spiritual Energy appeared before him.
The sharp sword light swelled violently, as though it intended to directly cleave apart the Tribulation Lightning descending from above.
Sensing this scene, Taiqing and Yuanshi, within Three Purities Hall, both revealed glimmers of brilliance in their eyes.
They did not stop Guang Chengzi. Instead, they carefully probed in the direction of the Tribulation Clouds.
"Eldest Brother, this disciple of mine will not provoke heavenly might, will he?"
"If..."
Of course, Yuanshi did not have much confidence.
He had already secretly activated a Golden Light and summoned it before himself, as though ready to act at any moment to save Guang Chengzi.
This was the foremost second-generation disciple under his sect and one deeply favored by him. If something happened, it would not merely be a matter of losing face.
"Nothing to worry about!"
"How could the Heavenly Dao bother with a junior?"
"Even if there is punishment, it would only mean the Tribulation Lightning strikes at once. You and I are both here; could we possibly fail to save Guang Chengzi?"
Taiqing spoke indifferently.
In any case, Guang Chengzi was not his disciple, so there was no need for him to be nervous. Only by allowing Guang Chengzi to soar upward would they have an opportunity to sense the secrets of this Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"..."
The nine Tribulation Lightnings of the third layer descended one after another. Yet the astonishing lightning radiance did not dispel Guang Chengzi's intention to soar into the sky.
The terrifying might of the treasure sword before him had already become extremely fearsome, evolving into a sword shadow hundreds of thousands of zhang long. It seemed poised to split open the Tribulation Clouds directly and overcome this Transformation Thunder Tribulation with a Supreme Sword.
Within the Tribulation Clouds, Mo Wen's Divine Sense naturally sensed this scene and became somewhat depressed.
Was Guang Chengzi a turtle or something?
Had he swallowed a weight and made up his mind to cut apart the Tribulation Clouds?
He had taken the risk of exposing himself and painstakingly come here to bring down the Transformation Thunder Tribulation. Even if he had no merit, he had at least worked hard, hadn't he?
Couldn't Guang Chengzi show him a little consideration?
If this were not a Saint's dojo, and if there were not two Saints watching behind Guang Chengzi, he would definitely let this fellow experience the wrath of thunder today!
Of course, fighting and killing were not his true intention after all.
He was a "kind-hearted" Thunder Spirit. He truly did not wish to kill Guang Chengzi.
Besides, his current strength was not enough to contend with Saints. There was no need to immediately oppose them.
If he could not afford to provoke them, could he not avoid them?
In any case, he had already given the Heavenly Dao its due face. Did the rest have anything to do with him?
With that thought, Mo Wen's Divine Sense trembled slightly and immediately invoked the mysterious power of Thunder Tribulation Divine Palace, returning to the mysterious space atop Buzhou Mountain.
Couldn't he simply stop striking with lightning?
"Supreme Sword, cleave apart the Tribulation Clouds!"
"My name, Chan Sect..."
The massive sword shadow Guang Chengzi had condensed had reached the peak of its might and began slowly cleaving toward the thick mass of Tribulation Clouds.
At the same time, he gathered all his mana and shouted loudly, seemingly intending to spread his name throughout the Primordial World and astonish the Great Powers of every faction.
However, before his words could finish, the thick Tribulation Clouds above suddenly trembled.
The terrifying might of the Thunder Tribulation actually began rapidly dissipating.
"Was it frightened away by my aura?"
"Could it be that I have passed this Transformation Thunder Tribulation just like that?"
"This is far too easy, isn't it?"
"..."
Guang Chengzi was immediately stunned.
He discovered that not only was the pressure of the Thunder Tribulation dissipating, but even the thick thunderclouds above were rapidly vanishing.
In but an instant, the entire sky returned to tranquility, without even a trace of lightning left behind.
"It's gone?"
"How did it disappear?"
"Where is the Heavenly Dao Blessing?"
"Could it be that I did not successfully pass the tribulation?"
"This..."
This time, Guang Chengzi was completely dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, he had thought he had successfully passed the Thunder Tribulation. Yet after the Tribulation Clouds vanished, he discovered that he had not passed it at all.
What was going on?
Could it be that his actions just now had provoked the Heavenly Dao?
That should not be the case. The Heavenly Dao had not intended to punish him!
At this moment, not only was Guang Chengzi stunned, but the many Chan Sect disciples, as well as Taiqing and Yuanshi within Three Purities Hall, along with the Great Powers, experts, and Saints secretly observing this Thunder Tribulation, were all taken aback.
"Why did it disappear?"
"Eldest Brother, did you sense anything unusual?"
"Could it be that this Thunder Tribulation simply failed?"
Yuanshi looked at Taiqing with a face full of astonishment. He desperately wanted to know what had happened in that instant and why even he, a Saint, could not understand it.
Taiqing's expression became extremely solemn. Gazing into the distant heavens, he seemed lost in thought and gave no response for a long time.
"Did it fail?"
"Hmph!"
"Guang Chengzi refused to undergo the tribulation properly and even attempted to split apart the Tribulation Clouds. It is already fortunate that the Heavenly Dao did not send down punishment!"
"The Chan Sect was given an opportunity, yet your Chan Sect disciples could not seize it!"
Tongtian, atop a side peak of Kunlun Mountain, could not help but snort coldly.
He faintly felt that Guang Chengzi's arrogant bearing was precisely why this Transformation Thunder Tribulation had dissipated.
If the Heavenly Dao had truly influenced this Transformation Thunder Tribulation, it had already given the Chan Sect ample face.
Otherwise, a punishment from the Heavenly Dao was not something a mere Guang Chengzi could endure.
Primordial West, atop Mount Sumeru!
Within Nuwa Palace on Phoenix Perch Mountain!
Inside Five Villages View on Longevity Mountain!
Before Demon Emperor Palace of the Demon Court!
Above the endless sea of blood in the depths of Nine Hells!
In the depths of the North Sea...
For a time, many Great Powers of the Primordial World voiced waves of puzzled surprise.
They had also come to the same conclusion as Tongtian, believing Guang Chengzi had offended the Heavenly Dao and caused this Transformation Thunder Tribulation to dissipate.
If that was truly the case, they might need to warn their own disciples or the members of their clans to maintain reverence when facing a Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
Otherwise, they might become a laughingstock like Guang Chengzi.
Above Kunlun Mountain!
Guang Chengzi wore a complicated expression as he put away his treasure sword, not even daring to descend outside Three Purities Hall.
This time, he had thoroughly lost face.
What if Teacher was dissatisfied and directly handed down punishment? What then?
"There is no need to be dejected. This opportunity simply has not arrived yet!"
"Cultivate with peace of mind. One day, you will once again welcome a Transformation Thunder Tribulation..."
Within Three Purities Hall, Yuanshi could not help but shake his head as he spoke to comfort his disciple.
No matter what, this matter had also been a scheme between him and Taiqing. Guang Chengzi's failure to pass the tribulation had been within their expectations.
The failure of this Thunder Tribulation did not mean another one would never come.
His Chan Sect was, after all, one of the Profound Gate Three Teachings. It could still receive the Heavenly Dao's favor in the future.
Still, this time had been somewhat embarrassing.
Had he known this would happen, he should have pressured Tongtian and made an Interception Sect disciple step forward to bear this humiliation.
