Although Liu Changxu had long anticipated the terror of the ninth bolt of tribulation lightning, when he truly faced it, he still could not suppress the trembling deep within his soul.
An enormous five-colored thunder dragon tore through the heavens, bearing a thunderous roar that shook the universe as it lunged at him like Mount Tai crashing down upon his head. Lightning flashed wildly across its mountain-like body, which held both the immense power to destroy heaven and earth and intense fluctuations of origin laws. Its gigantic eyes carried an indifference that looked down upon all living beings, inspiring terror.
Yet at that very moment, Liu Changxu's mind was being assailed by churning illusions. Every setback on his immortal path, every disappointment, and every unfulfilled obsession flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, frantically stirring the negative emotions in his heart and threatening to drag his will into the abyss.
He gritted his teeth, struggling with all his might to restrain his surging stray thoughts and heart demons. At the same time, he directed the Ruyi Star Beads one after another to fearlessly crash into the descending dragon-shaped tribulation lightning.
With an earth-shattering crash, the first Ruyi Star Bead slammed into the dragon-shaped tribulation lightning, unleashing a dazzling blaze of lightning and fire.
To his shock, however, the terrifying energy of the dragon-shaped tribulation lightning hurled the Ruyi Star Bead away in the violent collision.
Although the impact had left the dragon-shaped tribulation lightning incomplete and depleted much of its energy, its might remained terrifying. It continued hurtling toward Liu Changxu like Mount Tai crashing down upon him.
Facing such terrifying tribulation lightning, Liu Changxu endured the corrosive assault of the heart demon illusions and sent the second Ruyi Star Bead forward to meet it.
"Boom-!"
Another earth-shattering roar
