472: Martial Saint

With only a few small fish remaining, Lu Li didn't need to worry about them anymore, so he summoned the "Kunlun Mirror" back into his hand.

The "Qiu Ying" that was previously confined inside is no longer needed.

With a thought, Lu Li caused a "Gamma Ray Burst" to occur inside the bronze mirror.

A terrifying burst of photon energy instantly annihilated Qiu Ying, who didn't even have time to react to what had happened.

By reuniting the two Qiu families, Lu Li also learned how this kind of "portable space" could wear down enemies.

Looking again at the space inside his own "Body Illumination," Lu Li pondered:

"This should be the [spiritual realm] that only appears after the tribulation... Xiao Yu mentioned it before."

"Could my spiritual realm generate Gamma Ray Burst like the Kunlun Mirror?"

"Also, Changbai Mountain and Tianchi Spirit Realm are real material worlds, but mine is just pitch black and chaotic. Shouldn't we develop it?"

The Lightning Tribulation Realm is full of mysteries. Although he had tested it on his enemies, Lu Li was still full of questions.

"I really need to take some time to reflect and process things."

Only by becoming familiar with the realm can one unleash their full power; for now, I must devote myself to cultivation.

Just then, a series of wailing and howling cries for mercy came from afar.

Turning his head, he saw it was Xuanwu Ren Chong.

Ren Chong and Elizabeth are among the top in their respective realms, but they are not strong enough to take on five opponents at once.

Li Yuanzhong, Zhenyangzi, the Cat Ear Sisters, and Xiao Cha joined forces, but the two of them could only struggle for a few seconds before they couldn't hold on any longer.

Li Yuanzhong was extremely ruthless towards foreign tribes.

While others were attacking, he darted behind Elizabeth and pierced her head with his "Pine Pattern Sword".

The sword tip protruded from Elizabeth's forehead. Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud, twitching twice before dying.

Ren Chong was terrified and screamed:

"I am the Black Tortoise, Four Spirits! I cannot die! If I die, my Black Tortoise status will not be able to be reborn for more than ten years!"

Li Yuanzhong coldly replied, "You colluded with foreign tribes and invaded the Divine Continent; you are not qualified to be one of the Four Spirits!"

"That's right, die."

Lu Li flew over, clenched his fist at Ren Chong, and countless bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, binding the man.

Lightning is merely the surface phenomenon; the key lies in the tribulation intent it contains.

"Strip him of his heart."

As soon as Lu Li had a thought, his will obeyed the command and entered Ren Chong's Sea of Consciousness.

Ren Chong felt a sharp pain in his head and couldn't help but scream in agony.

Immediately afterwards, countless bolts of lightning, like shackles, pulled a giant white tortoise out from between the man's eyebrows.

It is nearly 100 meters long and is the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Spirits.

Lu Li raised his hand and pointed. "Give Wan Qing something to nourish her."

The lightning-fast shackles tightened, binding the giant tortoise to one-tenth of its original size, and then it flew towards the two women, Xia Weijun and Wan Qing.

Both women sustained some injuries, but fortunately, they had several hundred units of spiritual energy stored in their bodies, so they were not seriously harmed.

After Wan Qing's inner self-destructed, it was able to partially manifest under the nurturing of spiritual energy.

As soon as Xuanwu was pulled over, a semi-transparent Vermilion Bird appeared, opening its mouth wide in anticipation.

Vermilion Bird was in terrible condition; the flames on his body had almost gone out, and he looked weak and listless.

After swallowing Xuanwu whole, raging flames immediately erupted from its body, transforming it back into the Firebird.

It even looked up to the sky and cried out, clearly having gained a great benefit.

In contrast, Ren Chong, with brain matter spilling from all seven orifices, was already beyond dead.

With that, the whole matter was settled.

Cheers erupted on Qixia Mountain. The Dragon Gate Sect disciples were overjoyed that the incident had been resolved without serious danger, and then looked at Lu Li with reverence.

The Tribulation Heavenly Monarch is a true god!

This instance of heaven and earth lending their strength, leading to the demise of numerous heroes, perfectly illustrates this point.

Li Yuanzhong and the others stepped forward and bowed in unison, saying:

"We respectfully wish the Heavenly Monarch a safe passage through the tribulation!"

The disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect also quickly bowed and shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to the Heavenly Monarch on successfully surviving the tribulation!"

This is like saying "Happy Chinese New Year" during the first month of the lunar calendar; it's a heartfelt blessing and expectation.

Lu Li accepted the offer without any formalities, standing tall and graceful.

Then, with a thought, he caused his Divine Soul to leave his physical body.

Despite his unstable state Divine Soul mind, his eyes were still crackling with electricity, and arcs of electricity occasionally shot out from his soul body.

But Li Yuanzhong and Zhenyangzi were terrified when they saw it, unable to hide their excitement!

The Dragon Gate Sect disciples covering the entire mountain, along with the crowds watching from a great distance, created a deafening roar!

This is the divine Divine Soul of Tribulation Heavenly Monarch; to be able to come into close contact with it is a blessing one could never attain in eighteen lifetimes!

Jiang Shixiang hid to the side, really wanting to rush up and see for himself, but he was also afraid of losing his life. He was so conflicted that he felt like his heart was about to break.

Ultimately, his life was more important. He watched as Lu Li extended his hand to the two Daoist Priest and said gently:

"It was a lucky breakthrough, so please don't be shy and take it as a reference."

Lu Li is still the same Lu Li; he hasn't changed at all despite his breakthrough.

The group exchanged smiles, and Li Yuanzhong and Zhenyangzi each grasped Lu Li's hand.

A flash of electricity, and the two men's eyes widened as they shouted simultaneously:

"With divine willpower, all desires can be fulfilled!"

Upon first contact, the two Daoist Priest revealed the greatest characteristic of the Lightning Tribulation Realm.

Moreover, the Divine Soul of this Lightning Tribulation Realm was actually substantial and even had true qi circulating within it, just like a living person!

They continued their exploration, deeply engraving all their insights into their Divine Soul. This would be the greatest treasure and the most fundamental foundation of the entire sect!

This scene was truly enviable, and the disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect and the members of the Killing for Benevolence Society looked on with anticipation.

The insight ended after 5 minutes.

The two Daoist Priest to the ground, expressing their sincere gratitude.

This time, Lu Li didn't suffer in silence, but quickly helped the two of them up:

"No need for formalities among family. I'll focus on restoring Qixia Mountain to its former glory."

After this battle, the entire Qixia Mountain was filled with large gullies and meteorite craters, looking quite unsightly.

Lu Li's eyes narrowed, and a burst of dazzling lightning surged forth, smoothing out the potholes and unevenness of the surrounding area like a bulldozer.

It's springtime now, and it shouldn't be long before everything is lush and green again.

Lu Li and the others smiled, turned around and returned to the Mountain Gate, and no one paid any attention to Jiang Shixiang.

Jiang Shixiang let out a long sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Lu Li saw him or not, he kowtowed in the direction Lu Li had left before turning and fleeing.

This Grandmaster had never experienced such a thrill in his entire life. At this moment, he felt his legs trembling so badly that he could not even walk in a straight line.

Jiang Shixiang was extremely grateful that he had tipped them off earlier, otherwise he would definitely be doomed.

After running 10 kilometers, Jiang Haiyan and others came to meet them.

Jiang Shixiang hurriedly shouted:

"Go back immediately and implement Heavenly Monarch Lu's policies: ban opium, abolish concessions, and provide for the people! From now on, whatever Heavenly Monarch Lu says goes!"

Jiang Haiyan nodded blankly, still finding today's events unbelievable.

But at that moment, a massive shockwave suddenly erupted in the sky to the far east!

The distance was at least 2,000 kilometers, yet even ordinary people could clearly see... a mushroom cloud exploding in the sky!

This was clearly a nuclear explosion; the mushroom cloud was nearly 30 kilometers in diameter, with a yield of approximately one million tons. But why did it explode at such a high altitude?

Lu Li and the others naturally saw this scene as well.

Li Yuanzhong and Zhenyangzi suppressed their smiles and solemnly said:

"This extraordinary phenomenon indicates that someone has ignited their Fusion Acupoint and broken through to the Martial Saint realm!"

"The only direction from Izumo -Okatsukazu is the Devils Emperor."
