White Emperor's Dragon-Transformation Tribulation

Boom--

A clap of thunder drew everyone's attention. The Yin Corpse Mountain Range, where the Corpse Driving Sect was located, had never seen thunder since ancient times due to its excessive Yin Qi.

Today, the Yinshi Mountains are shrouded in howling clouds and intertwined with lightning, completely covered by blinding white lightning, as if the world were at its beginning, gestating with vibrant life.

"All disciples of the Corpse Driving Sect, evacuate!" Elder Gai organized the disciples to evacuate the Corpse Driving Sect. Sect Master Lu's breakthrough speed was faster than expected, and the Corpse Driving Sect was now in great danger, with a very high probability of being struck by lightning.

The lightning tribulation required to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage is something that disciples cannot withstand; even the slightest touch will result in death!

The three men on Lu Zhoumu's side and the two men on Wu Youdao's side tacitly stopped fighting.

Do not create any energy fluctuations around this level of tribulation, otherwise the tribulation may mistake you for someone interfering with its progress and target you.

Lu Zhoumu and his two companions took the opportunity to quickly recover their strength and prepare for the next battle.

They were relieved that Sect Master had joined them, and the balance of power had been restored. Their battle against the Great Yu cultivators was still uncertain!

Zhao Po was extremely excited. Was it nine thousand or ten thousand years? Their Corpse Driving Sect had never experienced Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and had gone from a Super Grade Sect to a First Grade Sect. Today, they were finally about to experience Tribulation Transcendence Stage and regain their title as a Super Grade Sect!

This is the difference between the Five Great Immortal Sects and the Super Grade Sect. The condition for a Super Grade Sect is to have a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcendence stage. However, cultivators will eventually perish, at which point the Super Grade Sect will become a First Grade Sect.

In contrast, even when the Five Great Immortal Sects decline and face a generational gap, failing to produce a single Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator for several generations, they still possess methods comparable to those of Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, thus preserving their reputation as immortal sects.

Fifty thousand years ago, the Ask Dao Sect experienced a similar moment, a period of Tribulation Transcendence stage for two thousand years. This predicament continued until the emergence of the revival ancestor, Dao Lord Hanhai.

Throughout these two thousand years, the Ask Dao Sect has remained Five Great Immortal Sects.

The tribulation lightning was still brewing in the air, with only a few bolts striking down occasionally, causing earth-shattering noises, but they weren't even a prelude.

Click--

Dark clouds rolled and collapsed, with streaks of white lightning flashing. The tribulation of lightning erupted completely, covering the Corpse Driving Sect, and the tens of thousands of years of Yin Qi in the Yin Corpse Mountain Range gradually dissipated.

A long howl rang out, faintly capable of resisting the lightning tribulation. A Daoist priest in a Daoist robe emerged from his seclusion, flew into the sky, and summoned one Law Treasure after another, ready for battle. Clearly, he had made considerable preparations.

"This is the tribulation of lightning!" Lu Yang exclaimed in amazement. He had heard that cultivators had to undergo tribulation of lightning before, but this was the first time he had ever seen it, and it was the tribulation of lightning for breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. It was incomparably powerful.

Even from halfway across the Han River city, he could feel the heavens and earth trembling, which showed just how powerful the lightning tribulation above the Corpse Driving Sect was.

"This tribulation lightning is nothing special," the Immortal Fairy said dismissively, not finding it particularly powerful.

If it were her, she could get through it even while yawning; she wouldn't need to prepare so much stuff.

"Is there any explanation for lightning tribulation?" Lu Yang thought to himself, "When it comes to lightning tribulation, the Immortal Fairy is the expert."

After all, the current tribulations all originated from Ying Tianxian's Tribulation-Responding Dao Fruit.

"Ying Tianxian created the lightning tribulation to train cultivators, not to intentionally kill them. The stronger the lightning tribulation, the stronger the talent. Look at this lightning tribulation, it looks impressive and seems like a real thing, but if you actually face it, you'll find that its power is quite ordinary."

"This tribulation lightning is called the White Emperor Dragon Transformation Tribulation, and it belongs to the relatively weaker type of tribulation lightning."

The white lightning tribulation transformed into a dragon emperor, its whiskers flying, its scales surging, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, as if a real dragon had possessed it and given it sentience!

The white dragon emperor roared and collided with Sect Master, piercing through his body and exposing the white bone beneath the wound, which was filled with deathly aura!

"Sect Master Lu is dead?!" Lu Yang was shocked. Had Sect Master Lu failed so quickly?

"No, this is a living corpse. Its true form is hiding underneath. It's quite clever; it knew the first wave of lightning tribulation was too strong to withstand, so it used a living corpse to block the tribulation." The Immortal Fairy saw through Sect Master's little trick at a glance.

Just as the Immortal Fairy had predicted, the living corpse was cleaved into pieces, and the true Sect Master emerged from the earth to face the tribulation lightning.

After the first wave of attacks, the white dragon emperor's power was somewhat reduced.

Boom!

The white dragon emperor attacked again, and Sect Master Lu was in excruciating pain, screaming in agony. White lightning left electric marks on his body, scorching his flesh and soul.

He hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his bosom and consumed the pills. He had just taken one pill to recover his body when the remaining pills, along with the jade bottle, disappeared into the vast lightning tribulation.

The white dragon emperor was unstoppable, crushing the void and subjecting Sect Master to a thousand trials.

With the heavenly tribulation dissipating and the pressure decreasing dramatically, the restless spiritual energy gradually calmed down.

Sect Master Lu's body was charred black, like a piece of charcoal, and he fell to the ground with a clang.

"Failed?" The whole city felt a chill, and discussions erupted in a cacophony of voices.

If Sect Master Lu fails to Tribulation Transcendence, then no one will be able to stand against the cultivators of the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Look! The Sect Master moved!"

Thump thump thump--

A strong heartbeat sounded, indicating that internal injuries were healing and hidden wounds were disappearing.

Then a cracking sound was heard, and Lu Sect Master's body surface cracked. A layer of charred old skin peeled off, and the new skin was crystal clear. He looked more than ten years younger.

"The tribulation of lightning contains life force. The lightning has cleansed the Sect Master's body, and his physical body must be several times, or even ten times, stronger than before!" Elder Gai said excitedly, recalling the descriptions in the book about the ancient sages of the Corpse Driving Sect breaking through the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

Sect Master Lu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, piercing through the clouds.

He stood up straight, full of vitality, a stark contrast to his disheveled appearance during the tribulation. He was completely transformed, radiating confidence.

He had clearly survived the tribulation and become a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcendence stage!

The whole city cheered. Whether it was Governor Lü and his two companions or the common people of the city, seeing that Sect Master Lu had successfully Tribulation Transcendence, their hearts that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down.

Only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were not happy. During the lightning tribulation just now, Sect Master Lu's clothes were shattered by the heavenly lightning. The two of them stared at Sect Master's right wrist, their scalps tingling and their hair standing on end.

It was three interlocking rings, with the word "ghost" written in the middle!

This is the pattern on the wrist of an unclaimed zombie we encountered while spending the night in the desolate state. This is how the village chief explained it:

"There are only two reasons why a zombie is unclaimed: either the owner has died and the zombie has lost control and wanders around all day, or the owner has actively released the zombie from control. Or the zombie may turn on its master and eat him."

The living corpses can withstand the lightning tribulation, so Sect Master Lu would not voluntarily release his control over them.

Sect Master Lu is still here; he wasn't a living corpse that devoured his master.

That leaves only the first possibility—Sect Master Lu is dead, and his living corpse has wandered into Jianshi Village and been found by the village chief!

Now that Sect Master is dead, who is controlling his body now?!

The two exchanged a glance, and a possibility instantly occurred to them.

"The Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence Stage has possessed Sect Master!"

The second update will be at 11 PM.
