Ghost Demon True Person was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence?
Lu Li was startled as well.
The lightning tribulation was so terrifying and fierce that it had even blasted through the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave?
Could it be... that Ghost Demon True Person was going to die beneath the lightning tribulation?
Just then, a black hand formed of demonic energy appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun. With a gentle sweep, it wiped away all the silver tribulation lightning.
The sky above the entire Ten Thousand Ghost Cave was restored.
"Come on! Let's go somewhere else and watch Master undergo Tribulation Transcendence!" Bai Jinfei said solemnly, waving his hand.
Whoosh!
A torrent of black ghostly energy surged from his sleeves, swept up him and Lu Li, and carried them howling southward.
After a burst of lightning-fast travel, the two arrived at an entrance. They passed through the Blue Light Barrier Restriction and emerged from the tunnel.
Rumble!
The thunder exploded in their ears.
The two had appeared at the foot of a precipitous mountain south of Ghost Peak Mountain. From there, they gazed toward Ghost Peak Mountain, a hundred miles away.
At that moment, Ghost Peak Mountain was shrouded in black mist as thick as water. It surged and roiled like furious waves, kicking up black swells a hundred feet high.
Above it, an immense vortex of thunder churned. The rolling heavenly thunder turned into bolts of silver lightning, thick as pillars of heaven, crashing down to tear apart the sky and earth and destroy all things.
The dazzling flashes of lightning nearly blinded them.
Powerful currents filled the heavens and earth, making their bodies tingle and their hair stand on end.
It was Supreme Tribulation Lightning!
As Lu Li watched, the tribulation lightning crashed down with overwhelming force, easily ripping apart and obliterating the black mist over Ghost Peak Mountain.
The black mist on Ghost Peak Mountain visibly grew thinner.
Things looked dangerous!
Just then, a streak of white light drifted over, revealing a tall woman dressed in white. She had a delicate, oval face and a beauty as cold as frost.
She looked to be around twenty-three. Her aura was powerful, and she was a Golden Core cultivator!
"Second Senior Sister, what exactly happened? Why did the tribulation lightning descend early? Did the sect's elders remove the Supreme Demon Array?" Bai Jinfei asked solemnly as soon as he saw her.
Second Senior Sister?
Lu Li's heart stirred. He looked her over, his gaze drawn involuntarily to the swell of her robes.
But he was a gentleman. He looked only once before turning his eyes away.
Deep down, he felt something was strange.
He had a feeling... this Second Senior Sister wasn't human!
"Nothing's wrong. Master requested this. He wants to undergo Tribulation Transcendence early," the woman in white said coldly. Her gaze fell on Lu Li, and her eyes narrowed.
There was a faint hostility in her eyes!
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.
For an instant, he thought he saw her black-and-white pupils turn gold, becoming vertical slits like a snake's eyes!
It was extremely strange!
But they returned to normal in a flash. The whole thing had happened so quickly that he wasn't sure he hadn't imagined it.
"Master requested it?"
Bai Jinfei paused, slightly taken aback.
Lu Li was surprised too.
Was Ghost Demon True Person so powerful that he could disregard Nascent Soul tribulation lightning?
Boom!
Just then, the thunder roared louder!
Silver lightning rained down from the sky like dumplings tumbling out of a steamer, crackling as it struck the earth.
Thunder rolled with the force of ten thousand horses!
Lightning swept the ground!
The supreme might of heavenly thunder, capable of annihilating all things, was on full display!
Lu Li's heart tightened.
Would he have to endure such a terrifying lightning tribulation when he advanced to Nascent Soul?
It seemed that after leaving the Demon Sect, he would have to visit the Buddhist Sect in the west, find the second half of the Vajra Art, and cultivate a supreme Vajra body. Only then would he be able to withstand such horrifying heavenly thunder.
As he thought this, the relentless thunderstorm ravaged the mountain, and the ghostly energy on Ghost Peak Mountain grew incredibly thin.
Then it vanished completely.
The Black Stone Cave Abode halfway up the mountain was now completely exposed beneath the tribulation vortex.
"Here it comes!"
Bai Jinfei pressed his lips together, looking a little nervous.
Lu Li's gaze sharpened.
Boom!
A silver pillar of lightning, blazing with countless forked branches, plunged from the heavens and struck the Black Stone Cave Abode in an instant.
Its power was so tremendous that it seemed capable of leveling all of Ghost Peak Mountain!
With a bang, the entrance to the Black Stone Cave Abode burst open.
A torrent of black ghostly energy surged out and swept upward, charging fearlessly toward the silver pillar of lightning in the sky.
Then they collided!
Without a sound, the lightning flared with a blazing radiance. In the space of a finger snap, it annihilated the torrent of black ghostly energy.
But after the torrent vanished, a round black stone remained in its place.
It was as large as a water vat.
The black stone turned slowly, radiating a ring of crimson light that formed into a blood-red net. It actually caught the silver pillar of lightning.
What was that, a magical treasure?
Lu Li was bewildered.
Boom!
The thunder vortex seemed to sense the provocation. It spun sharply, and another silver pillar of lightning struck down.
This bolt was even thicker, as if it would pierce through the whole earth!
Its power was even greater!
A flash of light, and the pillar struck the blood-red net, tearing through it and obliterating it like a rotten branch.
Then, unstoppable, it smashed into the stone.
A faint crack sounded.
The stone split open.
Pieces fell away one after another.
It was just like a turtle hatching, its shell falling off piece by piece.
That stone... was an egg?
As Lu Li watched in amazement, the stone egg shattered completely, revealing what lay inside.
A tiny blood-red fish.
It was red all over.
It was about as long as a pinky finger.
Yet this little blood-red fish spat out ring after ring of crimson light, holding back the two bolts of heavenly lightning by sheer force and preventing them from falling.
Splash, splash, splash!
Just then, accompanied by the sound of ocean waves, an incomparably rich tide of blood qi surged out of the Black Stone Cave Abode, sweeping over the land and rising into the sky.
The blood-red fish opened its mouth and swallowed the blood qi in a single gulp.
Like a whale drinking from the sea!
Then the fish swelled rapidly, like a balloon inflating—ten zhang, a hundred zhang... a thousand zhang!
Three thousand zhang!
In the blink of an eye, the tiny fish had become a colossal fish three thousand zhang long, its body stretching across the mountain range!
Its two fins, spread wide, were five hundred zhang across!
An ancient aura, as if from primordial times, immediately emanated from it, spreading through the heavens and earth.
Then the blood-red giant fish flicked its tail, opened its heaven-swallowing maw, and bit down!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
With just three bites, the two silver bolts of lightning were swallowed whole, disappearing into the fish's belly.
Three bites to swallow heavenly lightning!
The next instant, silver lightning shone through the blood-red giant fish's body, spreading over its entire form and blazing with dazzling brilliance.
From afar, it looked as if an ancient thunderfish had descended into the world to devour heaven and earth.
It was unbelievably powerful and terrifying!
Then the blood-red thunderfish abruptly turned its enormous body and leapt into the air, like a whale rolling over and breaching the surface of the sea.
The giant fish took flight!
Amid the dazzling silver lightning, its blood-red fins rapidly widened and lengthened. In the blink of an eye, they had become a pair of enormous thunderous wings.
Just like that, the giant fish transformed into a silver thunderbird and rode the wind, soaring ninety thousand li into the sky!
Then it opened its boundless maw and swallowed the entire thunder vortex in a single gulp!
In an instant, the thunder ceased and the clouds vanished.
The azure sky was clear and spotless.
Only a thunderous giant bird remained, spreading wings that blotted out the sky as it looked down upon the world, domineering and haughty.
The sight was utterly breathtaking.
"Is this... the Kunpeng Devil Art Master cultivates?"
Bai Jinfei stood nearby, staring up in shock and awe as he murmured.
Lu Li finally understood.
No wonder Ghost Demon True Person had offended so many Golden Core cultivators and still lived so comfortably.
This was his true trump card!
The Kunpeng Devil Art!
An unparalleled demonic art that could even devour tribulation lightning!
Ding.
Just then, a clear system notification rang in his mind:
"Because you witnessed Kunpeng devouring heavenly lightning, your Blood-Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Art comprehended a trace of the intent behind Kunpeng Swallows the Sky and evolved into the Kunpeng Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art."
"Your realm level has risen to the thirtieth level."
"Progress increased by 80%."
"Current progress: Fourth Layer (94%)."
