The Tribulation of Thunder

It is common knowledge that Izumo Emperor Zuo Yuecangqiong by using sexual cultivation techniques to build his empire, and Xia Weijun also mentioned this.

The duty of the Third Imperial Consort, Sasaki Ryoko, was to search for the finest women for her husband to enjoy.

These Cat Ear Sisters, princesses of the fallen Ryukyu Kingdom, are naturally the most important figures in this mission, possessing flawless, hairless beauty.

Originally, he was to nurture it properly, intending to use it when the Emperor broke through to the Martial Saint realm, once his cultivation level was higher.

But to my surprise, they got away!

Although there were Ryukyu survivors who risked their lives to rescue them, the Special Higher Police's inadequate oversight was also a contributing factor.

But since the person was lost under his own watch, the Empress and the concubines made many sarcastic remarks, and the Emperor was not very satisfied either.

Therefore, the Third Imperial Consort definitely had to make amends, not only by capturing the Cat Ear Sisters, but also by capturing Vermilion Bird.

However, Wan Qing 'Martial Arts cultivation was only at the Innate level, and he was hiding in the shadows.

The Third Imperial Consort went straight to Xing Ru, her pretty face filled with malice.

"Dare to run away? I'll catch you both and turn you into dried corpses by draining your life force!"

Xing Ru was no match for this woman and was gritting her teeth, preparing to fight to the death.

At the critical moment, the Pine Pattern Sword flashed with golden light and pierced through with a roar!

It was Li Yuanzhong stepped up; only his "out-of-body golden body" could manage to hold things together.

Facing the flying sword imbued with Indestructible Will, the Third Imperial Consort smiled coldly, and with a flick of her sleeve, drew out a slender samurai sword only a finger's width wide.

"<Fine Snow: Swallow Returns>"

A flash of cold light appeared, and the slender samurai sword transformed into a streak of light, easily slicing away the Pine Pattern Sword and leaving a nick the size of a grain of rice on its blade.

"Third Rank magic weapon!"

Li Yuanzhong looked grim; he was no match for them at all.

Behind the Third Imperial Consort, a phantom image of a blooming cherry tree appeared, mockingly saying:

"His Emperor the Your Majesty is about to break through to the Martial Saint, at which time the Izumo army will conquer the entire Divine Continent! It's a pity you, old Daoist, won't live to see that day."

Having said that, she flashed forward and attacked.

But just then, a fierce whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and two more flying swords slashed towards the Third Imperial Consort!

The attackers were Po Shan and Hua Ying, their swords flashing gold and red, imbued with Indestructible Will and the Vermilion Bird's Blaze, making them formidable opponents.

That's not all!

Then, Number 0 and A'da rushed over, transforming into 20-meter-tall metal giants and swinging their huge fists at the Third Imperial Consort.

Two flying swords, along with Li Yuanzhong's attack, were used to barely halt the enemy's advance amidst the deafening roar.

To survive this ordeal, Lu Li employed every possible means.

Meanwhile, Qiu Haoqing unleashed the "Longyuan Sword" from his physical body.

This second-grade divine sword left behind by Li Bai grew to 10 meters in length as it faced the wind, transforming into a pillar of light that cleaved down from the sky.

Lu Li released the remaining four flying swords at once, and Wan Qing also released her own Blood Drinker Sword.

The scattering of countless points of light, a five-on-one attack, barely managed to keep them in check.

However, Lu Li's flying swords wailed as they fought, their blades damaged with each collision, and at this rate, they couldn't last more than 10 seconds.

At the same time, Lu Li himself was also in grave danger.

All the acupoints on his body were emitting high-energy particles, deflecting and countering the fists and palms of the Manifestation Grandmaster.

Although he was forced to retreat repeatedly, he managed to hold on with difficulty.

But even the best-laid plans can go awry. Suddenly, with a sharp "whoosh," a Western-style rapier pierced through Lu Li's shoulder.

Marshal Xiafei seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and even smiled gentlemanly:

"This sword is called [Demon Sucker]. Your wounds will not heal for a month. Prepare to die."

Lu Li's wound continued to bleed, and the self-healing effect of the Golden Body Realm immediately failed.

At the same time, in the distant thunderstorm, his Divine Soul Indestructible Will was also shattered.

With his Divine Soul completely exposed, lightning surged and gathered across the sky, and lightning began to flash across most of the sky!

Seeing this, Xuanwu "Ren Chong" teased Xiao Cha:

"My lady, your man is finished, why don't you just give yourself to me?"

This is the battlefield of the Golden Body Realm, Shen Siyang is also here, saying with a lewd look on his face:

"Luo Xiaochá, look how tightly you're clamped between your legs. Your man hasn't been able to bring you to your full potential. You're really useless."

Xiao Cha's legs were indeed long and shapely. She stared at the two of them and sneered:

"You two pieces of trash are no match for me, so you try to provoke me with words? That's hilarious."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Cha rushed towards Shen Siyang.

Shen Siyang quickly controlled the "Azure Dragon" mental image and opened his mouth to spew out a Dark Matter breath.

"Wow, you've improved!"

Xiao Cha has cultivated the "Golden Body of Embryonic Breathing," giving her control over her body far exceeding that of ordinary grandmasters.

With a nimble sway of her body, she made her breath brush past her side, missing its mark.

Then, a jet of true energy shot out from the "Yongquan Acupoint" acupoint on the sole of his foot, and his whole body suddenly accelerated, rushing to the face of the Azure Dragon like a rocket.

"Hey!"

Xiao Cha roared and drew her White Dragon Whip, striking the Azure Dragon in the throat with a deafening bang that created a huge crater.

Azure Dragon roared in pain, and Shen Siyang's eyes widened in fury—he couldn't even beat the woman beside Lu Li! What a bastard!

"Help me!"

Without a second thought, Shen Siyang immediately called for help.

But at that moment, a 200-kilometer-long "super lightning" suddenly formed in the sky, tearing the sky from Nanjing to Suzhou!

Faced with such a spectacular sight, no one cared about Shen Siyang anymore; everyone looked up and stared at the thunderstorm clouds.

Even the several Manifestation Grandmaster stopped fighting at the same time, staring intently at Lu Li's Divine Soul.

Daring to face the tribulation of lightning alone with Divine Soul, though it may seem like courting death, is it not also a point of reference?

Such an opportunity is rare, perhaps only once every few centuries, so of course we should witness it properly.

Everyone fell silent, except for the deafening roar of thunder.

In the next instant, led by that super lightning bolt, countless bolts of thunder surged toward Lu Li.

This scene was terrifying even to a bystander, Qiu Haoqing pondered:

The concept of "Spirit-Flesh Unity" makes some sense; relying solely on the Divine Soul to overcome tribulation is practically suicidal.

But soon, Qiu Haoqing sensed something was wrong—

The sky was filled with lightning of varying speeds, with some tiny bolts leading the way, while the super lightning bolts lagged behind by several beats, followed by a multitude of others.

Qiu Haoqing's expression changed drastically. "This is cheating!!!"

The Divine Soul has an extremely strong attraction to lightning, drawing down all the lightning bolts at once.

This was also the greatest crisis during the tribulation of lightning. His own Heavenly Monarch even activated [Sense Transmission], allowing him to repeatedly observe and ponder it.

But right now, the situation is one of "weak-strong-weak," and with this period of adjustment and adaptation, wouldn't it become like the master giving the apprentice pointers?!

Liu Shan and the others also noticed something was wrong, and were immediately shocked, but there was no time to do anything.

In the blink of an eye, a barrage of lightning struck Lu Li, transforming into a cocoon of light that enveloped him.

Lightning danced wildly, and the vast will of heaven and earth blocked all prying eyes, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.

Only a suppressed cry of pain could be heard, even drowning out the sound of thunder.

This was naturally issued by Lu Li, because his soul was torn apart by lightning, and his consciousness was mercilessly forged by the great power of heaven and earth.

This is the world's love for all living beings, too harsh, but also a ladder to heaven.

Having been repeatedly Lightning Refinement on Blue Star and in another world, Lu Li possesses extremely high resistance, even able to endure the pain of having his soul torn apart.

He endured the torment of the heavenly lightning without losing consciousness.

Gradually, the pain lessened, and a tingling, pleasurable sensation, like a full-body massage, began to appear.

The fragmented Divine Soul instinctively began to reconnect, inevitably incorporating some lightning and the will of heaven and earth.

The newly formed Divine Soul was incredibly solid, and more importantly, with the help of the lightning and the will of heaven and earth that formed the Divine Soul, Lu Li immediately understood how to use the will.

Lightning began to surge in his eyes.

Outside, only half a minute had passed.

The dark clouds in the sky vanished in an instant, transforming into auspicious, seven-colored clouds.

The rosy dawn shone down, illuminating the horrified faces.
