Knowing One's Mistakes and Correcting Them Is the Greatest Good! Taiyi's Sneak Attack Draws the Saints' Displeasure?

"Not dead?"

"He endured it!"

"As expected of the Son of Yuan Feng!"

"This Kong Xuan is indeed impressive. With a little guidance, even if he cannot attain the Dao in the future, he will still rank among the Top-Tier Quasi-Saints!"

"..."

Seeing this, the Saints all revealed faint looks of approval.

As Saints, they could naturally sense the terror of that Tribulation Lightning just now.

They had not expected Kong Xuan to withstand it with his body without even using a treasure, suffering only minor injuries afterward.

If he grew in the future, his achievements might not necessarily fall below Taiyi's.

"He really endured it!"

"No, the demon race absolutely cannot gain another powerful enemy!"

Not far away, Taiyi revealed a cold killing intent.

Earlier, he had already sent word back to the demon race, hoping his Eldest Brother could invite the one from Nuwa Palace to support him.

However, if she did not come, he would likely have to find an opportunity to kill Kong Xuan himself.

He did not want the demon race to gain another enemy on the level of a Top-Tier Quasi-Saint in the future.

At this thought, the might of the Innate Treasure Chaos Bell within Taiyi slowly stirred, as though he intended to strike at the best possible moment and disrupt Kong Xuan's Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

As long as Kong Xuan failed his tribulation, those Saints would likely not fall out with the demon race over him.

At this moment, within that expanse of terrifying lightning!

Kong Xuan's body was still trembling slightly.

When that Tribulation Lightning descended just now, he had truly thought he would not be able to withstand it.

However, at the crucial moment, the power of that Tribulation Lightning seemed to weaken somewhat.

This made him vaguely suspect that this Thunder Tribulation was very likely controlled by some mysterious existence.

He had only gotten a little smug, yet such terrifying Tribulation Lightning had been sent down upon him, as if warning him to undergo his tribulation properly.

Could this not have been deliberate?

But who could control a Fragment of the Heavenly Dao's Authority?

A Saint?

The Dao Ancestor?

The Heavenly Dao itself?

Or could it be that this Transformation Thunder Tribulation had gained sentience?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

After pondering for a while, Kong Xuan still could not find an answer.

However, the Tribulation Clouds above remained, proving that his Transformation Thunder Tribulation had not yet failed.

This made him pull himself together again. Carefully circulating the mana within his body, he recovered from his injuries while raising a new defensive barrier.

In his heart, he repeatedly promised the Tribulation Clouds above that he absolutely would not get smug again.

He only hoped the Tribulation Lightning could return to how it had been before, possessing only a terrifying aura without overwhelming power.

After all, he truly could not withstand many more strikes like that terrifying Tribulation Lightning from before.

This was the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, with a total of eighty-one Tribulation Lightnings.

How many had he received so far?

If all the remaining Tribulation Lightnings were that terrifying, forget successfully overcoming the tribulation—his life would be left here.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good!"

"Now this was the self-cultivation a Tribulation Transcender ought to possess!"

Within the Tribulation Clouds above, Mo Wen's Divine Sense trembled slightly. He was quite satisfied with Kong Xuan's current performance.

It seemed that before sending down Thunder Tribulations in the future, he had to intimidate them first. He could not go easy on them from the start.

Otherwise, these Tribulation Transcenders would never understand the true terror of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation.

Once they got carried away, they would easily court death.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

"..."

Next, Mo Wen weakened the power of the Tribulation Lightning once more, causing Thunder Dragons with astonishing momentum to descend continuously.

One Tribulation Lightning after another descended without pause, and soon, eight rounds of Tribulation Lightning had already ended.

"Only the final round remains!"

"If he can withstand these nine Tribulation Lightnings, Kong Xuan will be able to transform!"

"Why has Eldest Brother not replied yet?"

"Will Nuwa intervene?"

"..."

Taiyi's expression had become extremely grave by this point.

Earlier, he had received a reply from his Eldest Brother saying that he had gone to invite Nuwa.

Yet now, Kong Xuan's Transformation Thunder Tribulation was nearing its end, but neither his Eldest Brother nor Nuwa had appeared.

At this rate, he could only watch helplessly as Kong Xuan successfully transformed, received the Heavenly Dao Blessing, and entered under a Saint Disciple.

At this thought, his heart hardened.

Things had come to this. He could wait no longer.

Thus, his figure slowly moved forward, gradually approaching Kong Xuan's tribulation zone.

Boom!

At that moment, the ninth round of Tribulation Lightning suddenly descended, blasting straight toward Kong Xuan.

Now!

Having spotted the opportunity, Taiyi let out an angry roar in his heart.

He suddenly raised his arm and aimed it at Kong Xuan.

A heart-palpitating radiance gathered in his palm.

Dong!

At the same time, an incomparably profound bell chime carrying terrifying might suddenly erupted from within him.

The surrounding space seemed to be affected, trembling slightly.

The radiance in his palm rapidly transformed as well, condensing into a terrifying Black Arrow that shot toward Kong Xuan, who was resisting the Tribulation Lightning.

"Taiyi, how dare you!"

"Are you truly going to strike before us Saints?"

"..."

Sensing this, Taiqing and Yuanshi both coldly rebuked Taiyi.

They had just been considering how to take Kong Xuan in as a disciple, yet Taiyi had actually launched a sneak attack, intending to ruin Kong Xuan's tribulation opportunity.

Did Taiyi not intend to give any face to them Saints?

"Hmph!"

"The dignified Eastern Emperor of the demon race, a Quasi-Saint-level powerhouse, is actually attacking a junior. Is that not too shameless?"

Tongtian directly revealed a look of disgust and raised his hand, grasping toward Taiyi from afar.

Clearly, Taiyi's actions had made him extremely dissatisfied, even stirring killing intent within him.

"Taiyi, he is one destined for our Western Teachings. If you dare touch him, do you think you can make enemies of our Western Teachings?"

"Merit Golden Lotus, appear!"

Jieyin was even more straightforward, directly summoning the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus as though he intended to protect Kong Xuan.

That way, Kong Xuan would owe him a favor. Perhaps, if moved, he would join the Western Teachings.

"Buzz..."

However, just as the Saints made their moves, a Spatial Rift suddenly tore open behind Taiyi.

An astonishing Saint's Might surged out from within, instantly erecting a defensive barrier before Taiyi.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, are you planning to attack the Eastern Emperor of the demon race?"

"If so, then I cannot simply stand aside!"

Nuwa's voice suddenly rang out from the Spatial Rift.

Then, her figure appeared before Taiyi, looking coldly at Tongtian and Jieyin.

Because Nuwa intervened, Tongtian and Jieyin's momentum faltered.

With no one left to stop him, Taiyi's Black Arrow instantly arrived before Kong Xuan.

"Damn it!"

"Taiyi, you dare launch a sneak attack!"

"You..."

Kong Xuan had been carefully resisting the Thunder Tribulation. How could he have expected the dignified Eastern Emperor of the demon race to launch a sneak attack against him?

What he had not expected even more was that Nuwa would appear to support Taiyi.

This was far too vicious.

He was about to overcome this Transformation Thunder Tribulation!

Taiyi was trying to cut off his opportunity and take his life!
