"Azure Baleful Flame Sword!"
The Thunder Tribulation descended with terrifying force.
The first bolt's power was already close to that of a Four-Tribulation Sovereign.
If an ordinary Three-Tribulation Sovereign faced such a bolt, they would likely be injured even if they survived. Being wounded by the very first bolt of a Heavenly Tribulation all but meant the attempt had failed.
Mu Ziqing was different.
Facing the first bolt as it hurtled straight toward her, Mu Ziqing's aura changed in an instant. Wisps of Killing Intent surged out and swept into the fiercely burning Fire Great Dao.
The Azure Baleful Sword in her hand shone with iridescent light. As it cut across the sky, it formed a dazzling sword light.
Boom!
The sword light struck the first bolt head-on. A muffled impact rang out, and the sword light cleaved straight up through the bolt, splitting it in two.
Mu Ziqing, meanwhile, had not moved an inch. She stood firmly where she was, though the Killing Intent around her had grown thicker, lending her a swift, decisive air.
She had survived the first bolt!
Shock.
Silence fell all around.
Even the Starry Sky beyond the True Martial Continent fell silent.
Many people's pupils contracted sharply, shock flashing in their eyes.

"Hiss."
"Junior Sister Mu's strength..."
Azure Li Lord drew a sharp breath, astonishment
