The power of the divine spark was many times stronger than the one he had condensed before, which caused Lin Yu's strength to increase dramatically once again.

"Rumble~"

Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed in the courtyard.

Lin Yu's brows furrowed sharply. "This lightning power... it's so familiar, such a dense lightning attribute power! This is the power of lightning tribulation!" Lin Yu's heart was instantly filled with shock.

Lightning tribulation!

When Lin Yu was cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he encountered a lightning tribulation once before. The power of that tribulation was terrifying, and Lin Yu almost died at that time. This time, the power seems to be even stronger.

"Could it be that I've made another breakthrough in my lightning domain?" Lin Yu guessed excitedly.

In Lin Yu's memory, his lightning domain seemed to have made a great breakthrough in the past few hundred years. Not only that, but the lightning domain also seemed to have expanded to a radius of about a hundred miles, which was a huge leap.

"Hmm! It seems I've made some progress in my field," Lin Yu nodded.

Domain is one of the most basic abilities of cultivators. Once a domain is activated, it can be formed in an instant. Moreover, the wider the domain, the more violent the lightning tribulation within it.

Of course, the broader the field, the greater the pressure within it.

Lin Yu understood this principle.

My current strength is at least twenty million times greater than when I first stepped into the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, and I am now comparable to an early-stage God Emperor.

"I wonder what will happen during this tribulation? Perhaps, this tribulation will be the opportunity for me to advance to the God Emperor level~" Lin Yu's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he pondered to himself.

"Hey, isn't that Lin Yu?!" Just as Lin Yu was about to begin his tribulation, a beautiful figure suddenly came into Lin Yu field of vision.

"It's Junior Sister Qingyao, Senior Sister Qingyao!" Lin Yu was overjoyed and immediately walked towards Qingyao's residence.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, it's been a long time." Lin Yu arrived outside Qingyao's small building, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.

"Hmph, so you finally decided to come back? You just left me all alone at Tianfeng Academy. I thought you'd died out there," Qingyao said, pouting slightly.

Qingyao is a fiery girl, a bit like a boy, and has a bad temper, but Lin Yu is used to it. However, he hasn't been in contact with Qingyao for a while, and she seems quite worried about him, which touches Lin Yu's heart.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Qingyao, I had no choice. I'm trapped in the Tianlong Mountains. I want to come back too! It's just that I can't get out on my own. See, I'm perfectly fine now!" Lin Yu said with an awkward laugh.

"Hmph, that's more like it!" Qingyao snorted coldly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Yu, "Come with me!"

Lin Yu looked at Qing Yao with some surprise, "Senior Sister Qing Yao, why are you pulling me like this?"

"You don't want to save Senior Brother Qing Shuang anymore?" Qing Yao asked Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback. How could this girl have thought of this? Could it be that she already knows my true identity?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

It seems Qingyao isn't as naive as I thought. She discovered my true identity long ago, but she's been pretending not to know. I guess I'll have to find an opportunity to explain myself.

Thinking it over, Lin Yu let Qing Yao pull him along and headed towards where Qing Shuang was.

Qing Shuang is now Lin Yu's closest person in Tianfeng City, and also one of the most promising people to advance to the God Emperor level. Lin Yu dares not let anything happen to this girl.

"Sister Qingyao, why did you bring me here?" Lin Yu asked doubtfully.

"This is where you will undergo your tribulation," Qingyao stopped and pointed to the edge of a cliff in the distance.

The cliff in the distance was dozens of meters high, shrouded in mist and constantly flashing with lightning.

This tribulation of lightning was brewing on the cliff.

Looking at the towering cliff, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel fear. Although the power of this lightning tribulation was strong, he had no confidence in resisting it.

However, Qingyao must have something to rely on if she dragged him here. Although this girl is a bit impulsive, she is not bad-minded. Since that's the case, Lin Yu might as well listen to the girl's arrangements and see what she's planning.

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Senior Sister. I want to see just how powerful this lightning tribulation really is."

Qingyao was secretly delighted to see that Lin Yu had agreed; she had thought Lin Yu would refuse.

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and get something." Qingyao said, and with a flicker, she disappeared from the spot.

"Wow, Senior Sister Qingyao's speed..." Lin Yu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement as he watched Qingyao's departing figure.

Before long, Qingyao took out a set of clothes and handed them to Lin Yu.

"Here, change into this. Your outfit is too flashy. If it attracts attention, you'll be in big trouble." Qingyao glanced at Lin Yu and said with a smile.

"Okay, sure." Lin Yu took the clothes and put them on.

This outfit is a purple-gold robe, which looks extremely luxurious and is made of a very special material. It is actually a treasure of the Saint Artifact level.

"This outfit is nice, but, Senior Sister Qingyao, I'm not very comfortable wearing it. It feels like I'm wearing a maid outfit, it doesn't really suit me," Lin Yu said with a smile, touching his clothes.

"Haha, you're absolutely right. It really suits a country bumpkin like you. Let me tell you, I bought this specially from the Saint Artifact Shop. It's worth 13 billion immortal stones." Qingyao said, a smug expression on her face, as if she had done it all herself.

"Uh, I knew it. This Saint Artifact Shop is no ordinary place. I didn't expect Senior Sister Qingyao to spend so much money on a set of Saint Artifact- level clothing," Lin Yu said in surprise.

"What do you know?" Qingyao rolled her eyes at Lin Yu, then arrogantly tilted her head back and said, " Saint Artifact are extremely rare treasures, especially those above the Saint rank. Their prices are astronomical. Buying this dress is just a small amount of money for me."

"Oh, I must be ignorant," Lin Yu said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Alright, stop joking around, hurry up, it's almost time for your tribulation, I don't want anything to go wrong~" Qingyao urged.

Lin Yu nodded, then leaped onto the cliff.

Below the cliff, clouds rolled in and lightning flashed.

Seeing this, Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

"What a terrifying tribulation!" Lin Yu thought to himself in surprise. This tribulation was truly terrifying, more than ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the tribulation he had faced. No wonder Qing Shuang's strength stagnated after reaching the Divine Venerable Realm. If he were to face such a tribulation, he probably wouldn't even have a 10% chance of success.
