Earlier, within the Qingyun Immortal Mansion, Wujie had employed a secret technique to capture Su Shi'er, releasing Divine Power and raising his cultivation and strength.
For a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, the next step forward was Tribulation Transcendence.
Without Divine Power, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation feared by Cultivation World cultivators would naturally amount to nothing to him.
But with Divine Power added to the mix, he would inevitably be targeted by the Heaven and Earth Will of this realm.
The Lightning Tribulation would no longer be so simple.
While inside the Qingyun Immortal Mansion, he could still use the Immortal Mansion to conceal the aura of Divine Power.
Now that he had been forcibly moved out, his Divine Power was directly exposed beneath the Heaven and Earth Will of the Cultivation World.
The pressure he faced was more than ten times greater than it had been inside the Immortal Mansion.
The moment Wujie moved, the first bolt of lightning came crashing down from above the nine heavens.
"Rumble!"
The lightning crossed the starry river and struck him heavily.
The pale golden divine radiance protecting his body exploded on the spot.
Though Divine Power was formidable, it was clearly far inferior before a Lightning Tribulation bolstered by the Heaven and Earth Will.
With just one strike, Wujie's body shuddered violently, and great chunks of flesh were reduced to ash beneath the impact of heaven and earth lightning.
His reincarnated physical body, already severely injured, became a mangled mass of blood and flesh.
"Wujie, Junior Brother, you..."
The Heavenly Palace cultivator beside Wujie, who had emerged with him, widened his eyes at the sight, terrified beyond measure.
Though he too was at the Tribulation Crossing stage, merely sensing a faint trace of the Lightning Tribulation's aura made his heart quake with fear.
