What Do You Mean, I Can't? That Word Isn't in My Dictionary!

"Begin!"

A massive black egg slowly floated above the Nine-leaf Sword Grass, the patterns across its surface all lighting up.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surroundings was stirred up, immediately becoming extremely violent.

The violent spiritual energy, like a tornado, crazily poured into the massive black egg.

Under Luo Li and Zhao Chen's watchful eyes, crack after crack appeared across the eggshell.

Amid an exceptionally loud cry, an incomparably massive black shadow soared into the sky.

It was a colossal black bird that seemed to vie with the heavens in height, blotting out the sky and sun.

Strange Black Flame capable of devouring spiritual energy blazed fiercely across its slender feathers.

Then, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out.

Boundless black thunderclouds gathered from all directions, as though they covered the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Terrifying lightning, as thick as galloping giant dragons, gathered its overwhelming heavenly might, poised to strike.

"The Black God Lightning Tribulation truly isn't simple."

Zhao Chen nodded. Even Super Heavenly Beasts found it difficult to survive.

As expected of the special Black God Lightning Tribulation among Thunder Tribulations!

The stronger it was, the better.

He had also mentally prepared himself to complete his transformation under the baptism of the Black God Lightning Tribulation.

Boom!

A waterfall of lightning cascaded down, engulfing the enormous Nine Netherbird.

Black Flame blazed fiercely as it clashed against it.

Countless feathers transformed into enormous flaming plumes and actually launched attacks toward the Black God Lightning Clouds in the sky.

Even Zhao Chen stared in a daze.

He seemed to understand why Little Nine Netherbird had failed her tribulation twice before.

Everyone else endured it passively. As long as the Black God Lightning Tribulation ended, they would be fine.

But Little Nine Netherbird insisted on actively attacking the Black God Lightning Clouds.

Wasn't that provoking heavenly might?

The unseen will of the Great Thousand World was extremely sensitive to such behavior.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the Black God Lightning Clouds instantly expanded by a full circle.

Bolts of lightning shaped like tree branches struck the Nine Netherbird's enormous beast body in an instant.

"Ah!"

The suddenly intensified might of the Thunder Tribulation clearly caught Little Nine Netherbird off guard.

The lightning grew ever larger, transforming into savage, vicious lightning dragons that dove down and viciously tore into flesh.

Countless Black Flame feathers scattered in every direction, while blood fell like rain.

"About time."

When Zhao Chen saw the strongest lightning gathered within the Black God Lightning Clouds about to erupt, he murmured:

"Grass-Character Sword Art, slash!"

As the leaves of the Nine-leaf Sword Grass swayed, streams of sword qi condensed and fused together into a towering giant sword, which immediately slashed toward the enormous Black God Lightning Clouds.

No matter how terrifying the technique, the power of the Heaven-reaching Realm was still limited.

Wanting to destroy the Black God Lightning Clouds, which could kill Supreme Realm experts, was clearly impossible.

But Zhao Chen did not need to cut down the Black God Lightning Tribulation with a single strike.

He wanted to involve himself in the Black God Lightning Tribulation and be locked onto by the terrifying lightning within the Black God Lightning Clouds.

Ideally, all its firepower would be unleashed upon him.

Just as Zhao Chen wished, the Black God Lightning Clouds contracted slightly before visibly growing even larger.

Countless thunderclouds gathered into it, turning it into an immensely terrifying behemoth.

The entire world was shrouded as the killing intent of heavenly might locked onto Zhao Chen.

In comparison, Little Nine Netherbird was practically being ignored.

"Little Grass, be careful."

Little Nine Netherbird immediately shrank herself and arrived at the mountain peak where the Nine-leaf Sword Grass stood.

Though she knew Zhao Chen's plan, she still found it rather unsuitable to simply watch him get struck by lightning.

"Your Primordial Undying Bird Bloodline has been stimulated quite a bit under the baptism of the Black God Lightning Tribulation."

Zhao Chen looked at the strands of Purple Flame mixed within the Black Flame burning around Little Nine Netherbird.

That was the Primordial Undying Bird's special Undying Fire.

It was even more powerful than Nine Nether Flame.

Not bad.

Compared to that, the divine might of the Thunder Tribulation he was about to face was hardly worth mentioning.

"At a time like this, you still have the mood to pay attention to me?"

Little Nine Netherbird was speechless.

That Black God Lightning Tribulation was truly terrifying.

Even with her thorough preparations this time, she had still been struck until she was covered in injuries.

Even if she successfully passed the tribulation, she would likely be extremely weakened.

With such a terrifying Black God Lightning Tribulation, where did a mere Heaven-reaching Realm Nine-leaf Sword Grass get the confidence to endure it alone?

"You don't understand."

Zhao Chen smiled faintly and immediately drew upon the countless earth dragons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, forming them into an enormous formation.

A gigantic barrier visibly condensed into existence.

What was especially unusual was that a pillar of spiritual light appeared at the very top of the barrier.

The spiritual light pillar extended directly into the heavens and also reached within the barrier, connecting with the mountain where the Nine-leaf Sword Grass stood.

"Y-you're playing with fire!"

Little Nine Netherbird's brows shot up as she was so frightened that she immediately retreated several steps.

She had thought the barrier was meant to block the Black God Lightning Tribulation.

Who could have imagined that it was actually meant to draw lightning in conjunction with that pillar of spiritual light?!

This was far too insane!

It was practically equivalent to swallowing the Black God Lightning Clouds whole!

It was no exaggeration to say that the terrifying lightning-attributed spiritual energy contained within would burst the Nine-leaf Sword Grass apart!

At the very least, Little Nine Netherbird did not dare play with fire like this and burn herself alive.

"No, this is cultivation."

Zhao Chen's expression was resolute. As the Nine-leaf Sword Grass, he could not rely on ordinary cultivation methods.

The Black God Lightning Tribulation was both danger and opportunity.

As long as he could withstand the Black God Lightning Tribulation, he would have a great chance of mastering Black God Lightning.

And with this pure lightning-attributed spiritual energy, he could charge into the Late Heaven-reaching Realm.

He might even reach the Sovereign Three Difficulties and directly overcome the Physical Body Difficulty!

After all, nothing was better than a Thunder Tribulation for tempering the body!

Luo Li, protected within a separate barrier, said nothing. She merely held the Luo God Sword and waited in full vigilance.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck down, directly blasting the pillar of spiritual light.

After being transformed by the grand formation, it became powerful and violent lightning energy that enveloped the Nine-leaf Sword Grass.

"Refreshing!"

Zhao Chen looked wildly toward the violent lightning within the Black God Lightning Clouds, finding it incredibly delicious.

It looked so ferocious on the surface, but it was really just food.

He had truly come to understand the Nine-leaf Sword Grass's innate power. It was indeed one of the Ten Fiends, with a potential ceiling at the level of an Immortal King giant!

But he still needed to take human form as soon as possible.

Only humans could truly enjoy themselves.

"Crazy... completely crazy."

Little Nine Netherbird was utterly dumbfounded.

That was Black God Lightning, capable of easily killing Quasi-Sovereign Stage humans, yet the Nine-leaf Sword Grass was casually devouring it.

This was simply unbelievable!

"Little Nine Netherbird, take me up there!"

After enduring another blast from the Black God Lightning Tribulation, Zhao Chen's cultivation directly advanced into the Mid Heaven-reaching Realm.

It had only been a few days!

After getting a taste of the benefits, Zhao Chen could no longer hold himself back.

He remembered that Little Nine Netherbird still needed to undergo the final baptism of the Black God Lightning Tribulation. Why not simply charge into the Black God Lightning Clouds? Wouldn't that be even better?

They could both soar into the sky together!

"..."

Little Nine Netherbird felt that this little grass had truly gone mad.

Had getting struck by lightning turned him stupid?

A mere Heaven-reaching Realm cultivator could endure the Black God Lightning Tribulation only because of the formation arranged using the special terrain of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

If he left the formation's protection and charged into the Black God Lightning Clouds to face even more terrifying Black God Lightning, wouldn't that be seeking death?

Fine if he wanted to die, but why drag her along with him?!

She hesitated for a moment before saying irritably, "If you can't handle it, don't force yourself, understand?"

Zhao Chen's brows immediately shot up. What did she mean, he couldn't handle it?

That word simply did not exist in his dictionary!
