Dragon Whisker City.
Recently, powerful figures have been arriving one after another, all eager to witness the emergence of Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland.
Some people simply wanted to witness Ye Xuan's prowess in the Eastern Wasteland, while others harbored the intention of seeking refuge with him.
After all, there are simply too many powerful beings in the Three Realms, and countless monstrous talents.
Not everyone has a powerful background or a strong backer.
These people were unwilling to follow those extraordinary individuals with powerful backgrounds, so they set their sights on Ye Xuan.
An inn near the city gate.
At this moment, the inn was surrounded by countless cultivators.
Because the person staying at the inn is Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland.
Of course, these cultivators surrounded the inn not to fight for Ye Xuan, but to protect Ye Xuan.
They volunteered to act as guards here, prohibiting any monks from entering.
Among these cultivators, some were admirers of Ye Xuan, while others were admirers of Han Bingning.
Despite not displaying particularly strong combat power, Han Bingning is still very popular.
On this day, a group of powerful individuals arrived through the air and quickly reached the outskirts of the inn.
The leader, a man of imposing stature and unparalleled elegance, wore a crown and addressed the cultivators stationed there. "Announce that this Saint wishes to see Ye Xuan."
The man had a smile on his face, but the words he spoke were extremely domineering.
"This, this is Shi Chong, ranked eighteenth on the Saint Realm Ranking. What brings him here?"
"Did Shi Chong come here to deal with Ye Xuan, or perhaps to cooperate?"
"Who knows? In the past few days, many prodigies from the Divine Ranking have come, but they have all been turned away."
Upon seeing the young man, a murmur of surprise quickly arose from the surrounding crowd.
Shi Chong, ranked eighteenth on the Saint Realm Ranking, is a monstrous powerhouse who cultivates the path of the physical body.
When he occupied Stone City, he swept across the land, slaughtering without restraint, truly achieving the power to break all laws.
No matter how strong you are, no matter how extraordinary you are, no matter how powerful your supernatural abilities are.
Shi Chong them all with brute force, sweeping away all invincible forces, and ultimately killed hundreds of the Saint Realm, forcefully occupying Stone City.
He rose to fame in one battle, becoming infamous for his ferocity.
This one is a true powerhouse who fought his way to the top.
In fact, every prodigy who occupies one of the ninety-nine main cities is an unparalleled Tianjiao, a talent rarely seen throughout history.
They all fought their way out of a mountain of corpses; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to occupy a city.
The cultivators stationed outside the inn turned pale upon learning Shi Chong's identity.
They were wary, their eyes serious, unsure whether they should stop them.
Shi Chong is much fiercer than the others who came before him.
He has a fiery temper; he's the type to really start a fight at the slightest provocation.
Seeing the hesitation of those people, Shi Chong snorted coldly and said, "What, is it not enough for me to speak once? Are you trying to force me to take action?"
The calm voice seemed to carry immense pressure, causing those stationed there to break out in a cold sweat.
The leader was named Nie Fan, who was also a prodigy from the Immortal Domain Tianjiao, but he didn't have any powerful background.
He looked at Shi Chong with a solemn expression, about to speak—
A deafening roar suddenly erupted.
The next moment, Gale arose, and lightning flashed.
Everyone looked up at the sky in shock, only to see that the entire sky had become turbulent with wind and clouds.
Thick and massive arcs of lightning tore through the sky, descending and landing directly on a certain room.
A series of booming sounds rang out, and in an instant, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles was completely filled with lightning.
"This is... Lightning Tribulation?"
"Quickly, revert!"
"How could there be Lightning Tribulation? What level of Lightning Tribulation is this? Could it be that Ye Xuan has broken through to the Emperor Realm?"
Seeing the countless arcs of world-destroying lightning falling from the sky, and feeling the terrifying, suffocating pressure, the surrounding cultivators all paled and retreated.
Even Nie Fan and the others stationed there could no longer care about Shi Chong and rushed frantically into the distance.
Shi Chong frowned, put his hands behind his back, and did not retreat immediately.
He looked up at the arcs of lightning, his eyes filled with great interest.
boom!
A loud bang.
A bolt of lightning crashed down on him, the thunder deafening and the space itself exploding.
Shi Chong snorted coldly, raised his right arm instantly, clenched his right fist, and poured endless spiritual energy into it before unleashing a punch.
With a deafening explosion, lightning crackled, and Shi Chong was struck down to the ground.
His entire right arm was charred black, with broken bones and tendons.
How is that possible?
Shi Chong was dumbfounded, his previous composure completely gone, replaced by shock and horror.
He proved his Dao with his physical body, and his physical strength, even if it cannot be called the strongest among his peers in the Three Realms, is definitely among the top.
Now, Shi Chong couldn't even withstand a mere arc of lightning?
The World-Destruction Lightning Tribulation, having failed to kill Shi Chong, seemed to sense his anger.
The next moment, more than a dozen thick arcs of lightning tore through the sky and descended, heading straight for Shi Chong.
"Holy shit!"
Even with Shi Chong's strong inner strength and fearlessness, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at this moment.
He couldn't help but swear, and dared not greet them any longer. He immediately used a secret technique and vanished from the spot.
Those who were lucky enough to witness this scene were all somewhat terrified.
Shi Chong was driven away by that lightning arc?
What about Ye Xuan and Han Bingning, who were caught in the storm?
Will they survive?
Inside the room.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, his long hair flying up, his body surrounded by endless Daoist energy of thunder.
Arcs of lightning sat on him, crackling and popping, but he absorbed most of them.
The Wilds Body Refining Technique was operating wildly, constantly absorbing that energy and continuously forging its physical body.
Not far away, Han Bingning was wrapped in layers of light, her whole body turned into a rice dumpling.
She stared at the scene in disbelief, her emotions a complex mix, and remained silent for a long time.
Back then, when Ye Xuan broke through to a higher realm and attracted Lightning Tribulation, she was needed to protect him.
But what about now?
Not only can she not help Ye Xuan, she even needs Ye Xuan's protection.
It's truly tragic that our master has gone to such lengths.
Watching Ye Xuan roar and howl to the sky, Han Bingning felt extremely uncomfortable.
To others, Ye Xuan may seem glamorous, but who knows the effort and hardship he has endured?
This wasn't the first time Ye Xuan had experienced such Lightning Tribulation; it was a near-death experience.
It can be said that one wrong move could lead to utter annihilation and irreversible destruction.
The cataclysmic Lightning Tribulation lasted for more than an hour before gradually subsiding.
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with lightning, and his aura surged wildly.
He has finally broken through to the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Half-Saint Realm, and is only one step away from the Saint Realm.
