"Save me, my lord!"
The Shuang Ling Clone was besieged and struck again and again. Its origin continuously scattered, and its body began fading bit by bit. Once this origin clone perished, his combat power would be reduced by one-third.
A loss of one-third of his cultivation and one-third of his combat power was something Shuangling could not bear.
Boom!
At the source of the passage, within the Niwan Divine Palace, a majestic divine voice swept across the world, stirring space and brimming with supreme divine might. "You ants, do not act recklessly."
"Whoever harms This Seat's clone shall have their souls drawn and spirits refined, never to enter reincarnation for all eternity."
Li Qingyuan laughed. "I'm so scared."
"If you've got the ability, come over here!"
Li Qingyuan shouted back, "Your Excellency cannot come over, I suppose because you have something even more important to do."
"Or perhaps you've been held up."
Shuangling's true body flew into a rage. "A mere ant dares profane divine might."
"There is a price to pay for angering This Seat."
Buzzz!
The spatial passage suddenly hummed. An immense power attempted to descend, and a phantom slowly condensed. Within that illusory figure, the auras of the Earth Tribulation and Fire Tribulation flickered in and out of sight.
Li Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat. "Damn, he really came!"
Everyone's faces darkened. "The Great Five Elements Lightning Tribulation—he has already crossed two tribulations."
After crossing one tribulation, one's combat power was twice that of an Integrated Body Peak cultivator. After the Second Tribulation Crossing, it was three times that of an Integrated Body Peak cultivator.
After the Third Tribulation Crossing, it was four times. After four tribulations, five times. After five tribulations, six times.
The foundation of this growth in combat power was one's own strength.
