Crack, crack...
Crack, crack...
The black clouds hung like an inverted mountain, silver arcs of lightning flashing ceaselessly across them.
One after another, they writhed like lightning serpents.
As countless lightning peaks flickered, a force that seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth apart gathered within them.
Others could not sense that immense, suffocating force, but He Pingsheng felt it keenly.
"You've got to be kidding..." He Pingsheng stared in shock at the tribulation lightning overhead. "Everyone else gets through their first strike easily, but mine is going to kill me outright?"
"Heavens above, you can't play like this!"
"This isn't fun!"
"Activate!"
He Pingsheng did not hesitate.
Faced with this supreme killing intent of heaven and earth, he could only activate his defenses.
A crimson shield sprang open.
It was the shield generated by the Fire Essence Blood-Reflecting Armor.
The shield was incredibly thick, formed by draining He Pingsheng's fire attribute dantian dry.
That was not all.
He Pingsheng drew out half the spiritual power in his metal attribute dantian in one breath and activated the spell Vajra Shield.
Then he drained half the spiritual power from his earth attribute dantian and activated the spell Earth Armor Technique.
At that moment, three shields surrounded He Pingsheng's body.
Put it this way: with all three shields active, he could withstand even a strike from an early Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Just then, the tribulation lightning in the sky finally finished gathering, transforming into nine pillars of lightning as thick as a child's arm that plunged toward He Pingsheng's head.
"Oh, mother..." He Pingsheng nearly wet himself in terror.
Wasn't that far too thick?
When Qiao Huizhu underwent her Tribulation Transcendence, the Tribulation Lightning had only reached this intensity around the seventh wave.
Damn it, damn it...
This...
All around him,
