Ao Bing of the East Sea Dragon Clan

The Tribulation Lightning transformed into Thousand Zhang -tall body, the Thunder God's Body, looking down upon Zhuge Xiang. Even the Demon Body, which was tens of feet tall, appeared as insignificant as an ant beneath this divine form. The Thunder God Incarnation avatar spoke, its voice booming and resounding throughout the Heaven and Earth: "Sinner! You deserve to die!"

Its towering divine body, Thousand Zhang tall, and its overwhelming Divine Might might made it difficult to resist. Its Divine Might was as vast as the sea, and even though it was merely an incarnation of a wisp of the Thunder God's remnant will, its Divine Might was still beyond the resistance of mortals.

Under the Divine Might of this Thunder God Incarnation, even Zhuge Xiang felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach the level of his opponent.

Divine Might, surpassing that of mortals, spoke, uttering the words "sinner. "Divine Might Zhuge Xiang felt an overwhelming sense of authority, realizing he had truly become Utterly Evil sinner. He was filled with terror at the judgment of the Thunder God, wishing he could prostrate himself on the ground and beg for forgiveness...

However! Suddenly, the Sword Soul within Zhuge Xiang's Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform burst forth with dazzling light, severing the fear in Zhuge Xiang's heart. At the same time, a firm Divine Sense also shone in Zhuge Xiang's eyes.

Although he had to crane his neck to see the other person, Zhuge Xiang no longer felt any fear or apprehension.

"Sinner! What right do you have to condemn me!? What crime have I, Zhuge Xiang, committed!?" Zhuge Xiang roared fiercely, staring at the Thunder God Incarnation. Before the Thunder God Incarnation could make a move, Zhuge Xiang struck first.

The Slaying Luo Sword in his hand once again transformed into a magnificent and unparalleled aura, a pillar of Vast Sword Qi erupting forth and slamming fiercely towards the Thunder God Incarnation...

A terrifying pillar of Sword Qi reappeared, soaring upwards against the heavens. This sword strike, powerful enough to shred even the Tribulation Clouds, was truly like a colossal Sky-Supporting Pillar. The Divine Might of this sword indeed instilled fear in everyone's hearts...

Boom!

However, seeing the Sword Qi beam coming straight at Zhuge Xiang, the Thunder God Incarnation simply stretched out his palm. The giant hand formed from Lightning blotted out the sky and steadily blocked Zhuge Xiang's sword.

Immediately, the giant hand of Lightning trembled, sending Zhuge Xiang's Sword Qi soaring into the sky, where it erupted with immense power and dazzling Sword Light, illuminating an area of a thousand miles...

"Disrespecting Divine Might! Deserves death!" The Thousand Zhang -tall body of Lightning, gazing at Zhuge Xiang, the Thunder God Incarnation, spoke with a clear hint of rage. Holding a chisel in his left hand and a hammer in his right, he looked down at Zhuge Xiang and brought the chisel down hard...

Boom!

With a single strike, just one strike, the Thunder God Incarnation vanished into thin air.

Although Heavenly Tribulation was initiated by the Heavenly Dao, the descent of a wisp of Thunder God's remnant will into the mortal realm was still forbidden by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, after the first strike, the Thunder God Incarnation vanished into thin air. The strike of Thunder God's Hammer was a test of an even higher level in this Great Heavenly Tribulation.

The Lightning attack unleashed by the Thousand Zhang divine body was a single Lightning that locked onto Zhuge Xiang, charging forward like a Thunder Dragon. Its majestic aura and overwhelming power Human Heart.

This Lightning was probably much thicker than a Treasure Pagoda. Around Lightning, there were many black sparks, which upon closer inspection turned out to be Spatial Rift. This lightning strike was actually approaching the limit that this Cultivation World's space could withstand...

The two attacks of the Vast Sword Qi almost completely depleted Zhuge Xiang's power. Fortunately, after entering the Void Returning Stage, his power recovered very quickly, and the Blood Demon Heart Dao Item would also provide Zhuge Xiang with 20,000 MP points of recovery.

Staring at the oncoming Lightning, the overwhelming aura made Zhuge Xiang feel as insignificant as an ant under a collapsing mountain. However, Zhuge Xiang Slaying Luo Sword in his hand even tighter. Staring at the falling Lightning, an incomparably magnificent Sword Qi Storm transformed into a tornado, rising against the sky to meet it head-on.

Sword Qi Storm, a hurricane composed of billions of Sword Qi, met the Lightning attack of Thunder God's Hammer. With the added enhancement of the Necklace of the Spell God, the power of this Sword Qi Storm was not to be underestimated...

However, this Sword Qi Storm crumbled instantly under the attack of Lightning. The Lightning, still undiminished in its force, continued to blast towards Zhuge Xiang, locking onto him. No matter how he dodged, he was absolutely unable to avoid the attack...

Thunder God's Hammer could even easily tear apart Sword Qi Storm; it was terrifying indeed.

Instant Slash!

If he couldn't dodge it, he would block it. Although the Sword Qi Storm shattered, Zhuge Xiang poured all the remaining power within him into the Slaying Luo Sword. The Sword Soul trembled, and Zhuge Xiang's eyes were fixed on the oncoming Thunderclap. At this moment, everything in the Heaven and Earth seemed to slow down. In Zhuge Xiang's eyes, even the swift Lightning moved as slowly as a tortoise...

Call out!

Zhuge Xiang moved, faster than the naked eye could see. A Sword Light, an incomparably dazzling Sword Light, appeared to Thunder God's Hammer's Sword Light like a toothpick under an elephant's leg. Yet, the brilliance of this Sword Light seemed to illuminate the entire Heaven and Earth as it slashed fiercely across Thunder God's Hammer...

Boom!

The Lightning shattered, billions of fragments scattering into Lightning Thunderstorm. Within a radius of a hundred miles, rocks crumbled into powder, trees turned to ash, and the shattered Thunder God's Hammer had reduced everything within a hundred miles to scorched earth...

Zhuge Xiang fell from the sky, his body charred black and even emitting blue smoke. Most of his equipment was reduced to ashes by Thunder God's Hammer.

As expected of Heavenly Tribulation of a higher level than the Void Returning Stage, all of Zhuge Xiang's defensive equipment was destroyed, leaving nothing behind. Even the Slaying Luo Sword in Zhuge Xiang's hand shattered into thousands of fragments.

On the Character Interface, Zhuge Xiang's HP dropped by more than 100,000, and he looked quite disheveled. Fortunately, he managed to block the blow from Thunder God's Hammer's Hammer. Although the cost was high, with enough effort, better equipment can always be found.

"Thunder God's Hammer! You actually managed to survive Thunder God's Hammer. You will surely have a place in this Cultivation World in the future." Before Zhuge Xiang could even feel sorry for his defensive treasures, a majestic voice suddenly rang out.

Zhuge Xiang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a golden figure flash by. A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared before Zhuge Xiang and then transformed into human form.

With red lips and white teeth, dressed in golden armor, and looking like a handsome man in his early twenties, a small Golden Dragon perched on his shoulder, the man clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhuge Xiang. His majestic voice carried a hint of boldness as he said, "Ao Bing from the East Sea Dragon Palace greets you, brother. It is fate that we meet. May I ask your name?"

Dragon Clan capable of transforming into human form clearly possesses cultivation at least comparable to, or even surpassing, a Void Returning Stage expert. After all, as renowned divine beasts of the Heaven and Earth, the dragon Dragon Clan's strength is inherently superior to all other creatures...

"Huh, Zhuge Xiang? Is that you? You survived the Great Heavenly Tribulation?" Before Zhuge Xiang could answer, the small Golden Dragon that had been perched on Ao Bing's shoulder suddenly spoke, its familiar voice fixed on Zhuge Xiang.

"You are... Ao Xiaoyao?" Upon hearing the familiar voice and seeing the tiny Golden Dragon, Zhuge Xiang immediately realized and laughed, "East Sea Dragon Palace, it really is an acquaintance."

When Zhuge Xiang went to the East Sea, he and Ying Wushuang encountered Ao Xiaoyao. They chased after the Jiao Dragon that stole the Dragon Essence and killed Jiao Dragon. After that, Ao Xiaoyao returned to the Dragon Palace. At that time, Zhuge Xiang even started a quest to Dragon Palace Favorability. He never expected that he would be able to see Ao Xiaoyao from the East Sea Dragon Palace again today.

"Oh? Little sister? You know this brother?" Hearing Zhuge Xiang and Ao Xiaoyao greeting each other, the Dragon Clan in human form asked Ao Xiaoyao on her shoulder in surprise.

My younger sister hasn't yet reached the stage of Transformation, so she's always stayed in the East Sea and hasn't left. How did she get to know this human Cultivator?

"Third Brother, do you remember when our Dragon Palace kindly took in a Jiao Dragon, but it was a wolf with wicked ambitions and stole our Dragon Palace's Dragon Essence? In the end, a human Cultivator and Elder Sister Ying Wushuang helped to kill that Dragon Clan and retrieve the Dragon Essence. That human Cultivator was Zhuge Xiang..." Ao Xiaoyao began, explaining to Ao Bing, who had transformed into human form.

"So you've been a distinguished guest of my East Sea Dragon Palace for a long time, brother. Since you're a friend of Miss Wushuang, you're a friend of my East Sea Dragon Palace. It's truly an honor to meet Brother Zhuge today." Hearing Ao Xiaoyao's explanation, Ao Bing became even more enthusiastic towards Zhuge Xiang.

Originally Zhuge Xiang survive the Great Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder God's Hammer, but he never expected that Zhuge Xiang had some connection with his Dragon Palace and could be considered a friend.

"Young Master Ao, you're too kind," Zhuge Xiang replied with a hearty laugh upon hearing Ao Bing's words. Zhuge Xiang was naturally willing to build a good relationship with the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"By the way, Young Master Ao and Miss Ao are from the East Sea Dragon Palace. I wonder why you have come to travel inland?" After greeting Ao Bing, Zhuge Xiang suddenly had an idea and asked casually.

With a hint of anger on his face, Ao Bing said, "Our East Sea Dragon Clan has never had an easy time of reproduction. Even today, there are only a few dozen direct Dragon Clan. But just a few days ago, one of our young Direct Lineage Dragon Clan had his eyes gouged out. So, my brother and I have traveled inland to catch the murderer."

"As expected..." The East Sea Dragon Clan wouldn't come to the inland without reason. Hearing Ao Bing's words, Zhuge Xiang was certain of his guess; they were indeed after Wu Xuefei.

"Does Brother Ao have any clues? Perhaps I can be of some help," Zhuge Xiang asked after understanding the situation.

"There's no concrete Evidence, but according to my divination as the Dragon Palace Chancellor Turtle, this matter seems to be related to Wu Xuefei, the personal disciple of the Asura Sect Master. Therefore, I've brought the Dragon Palace Treasure, the Heart Reflecting Mirror, to find Wu Xuefei and confront her face-to-face." (To be continued...)
