At the very center of the thundercloud, streaks of lightning churned within it, all pointing toward the figure below.
By then, Xu Changxing had brought himself to peak condition and was quietly waiting for the thundercloud above to finish gathering its power.
This heavenly tribulation took far longer to gather than he had expected.
Only after another long wait did the thundercloud in the sky finally gather its power to the utmost.
Rumble!
The first bolt of heavenly lightning finally roared down toward Xu Changxing.
Below, Xu Changxing remained as immovable as a mountain, merely releasing his newly formed primordial spirit to meet the first bolt of heavenly lightning.
A moment later, the lightning faded.
Xu Changxing's primordial spirit was completely unharmed. Only the streaks of lightning lingering around it reminded the distant spectator that he had already weathered the first bolt of tribulation lightning.
Watching this from afar, Shi Haoyan could not help the violent twitching at the corners of his eyes.
Even from dozens of li away, he could feel the might of that heavenly tribulation.
The power of this very first bolt rivaled the third bolt he had faced during his own tribulation.
He still remembered how his aura had already grown somewhat disordered after he weathered that third bolt.
Yet Xu Changxing had not even released his flying sword. He had taken the first bolt of tribulation lightning head-on with his primordial spirit alone.
He was simply a monster!
He actually dared to take such terrifying tribulation lightning head-on.

Even a reincarnated Spirit Transformation cultivator like him should have to focus on dealing with the second bolt, shouldn't he?
Only after silently analyzing the situation for a while did Shi Haoyan suddenly notice
