"Maybe..."
At this point, even Wu Liang couldn't give a definite answer, and his tone became hesitant.
Seeing his hesitation, Heavenly Venerable Yunli suddenly felt a trace of curiosity.
"I wonder how many Great Dao the Vice Pavilion Master merged back then?" she asked.
"I?"
"Fifteen articles."
As soon as he finished speaking, even Wu Liang couldn't help but show a hint of arrogance on his face.
Based on the fusion of fifteen Great Dao, he broke through to the Emperor Realm. In his place and in that era, he was unique, and almost no one could come close to him.
And that is the source of his confidence.
Back then, the reason he was able to disregard everyone and act tyrannically was because he was far more powerful than anyone else!
The number of fifteen Great Dao is unmatched by anyone except for the one that later sealed him with the Gong Yang.
"What!? Fifteen?"
Heavenly Venerable Yunli was incredulous and suddenly turned her head to look at Wu Liang, only to see indifference and apathy on his face.
What he said was certainly true.
But this number made Heavenly Venerable Yunli's pupils shrink, finding it extremely hard to believe.
The fact that our deputy pavilion master is still alive means that he must have survived the fifteenth tribulation of lightning.
But, but...
Is it possible for someone in this world to be so monstrous?
She only knew that Wu Liang was Thearch Realm, but this was the first time she realized that his Thearch Realm was far superior to that of other Thearch Realm!
Wu Liang naturally sensed her shock from Heavenly Venerable Yunli's words, but he only responded with a soft "hmm" before falling into his memories.
The fifteen Great Dao that survived the Emperor Realm Tribulation were memories from a very distant time for him, but even so, he had not forgotten the pain he felt back then.
Although the Chongming Bird Clan is not good at defense, they are still Demon Race, and their physique is naturally much stronger than that of Human Race. As a genius among the Chongming Bird, he is naturally even stronger.
Even so, he almost died under the final lightning tribulation back then, barely surviving. Almost all the feathers on his body were charred, and after the tribulation, it took him a considerable amount of time to recuperate and grow his feathers back.
Wu Liang shook his head, pulling himself out of his reverie, and spoke with a hint of nostalgia.
"The tribulations in the Emperor Realm become increasingly terrifying as you progress. With my talent, I could still comprehend one or two more Great Dao, but thankfully I didn't choose to comprehend more back then. Instead, I directly entered the Emperor Realm with the foundation of fifteen Great Dao. Otherwise..."
They're definitely going to die!
Before his tribulation, he was incredibly arrogant.
What's a mere dozen or so lightning tribulations?
Fifteen Great Dao; he can comprehend even more!
result...
Under the boundless purple lightning, Wu Liang was nearly struck into a dead bird and became completely docile.
He was also extremely grateful that he hadn't tried to comprehend and integrate another one; otherwise, let alone waiting for Gong Yang to suppress him, he might not even have had the chance to meet Gong Yang.
As he spoke, Wu Liang's gaze never left the center of the array plate, a hint of worry hidden in his eyes.
It was precisely because he knew how terrifying the lightning tribulation was that he could better understand Lin Xuan's current predicament.
He knew just how extraordinary Lin Xuan was.
In his eyes, even the unparalleled Gong Yang was no match for Lin Xuan.
Whether Lin Xuan could successfully overcome the eighteen or nineteen tribulations of lightning was uncertain...
Just then, the power of thunder in the air grew even stronger, and Wu Liang's expression suddenly changed.
"They're here!"
Within the formation, Lin Xuan stood calmly in the center, raising his eyes to look at the dark, almost collapsing sky.
The formations set up here are mostly isolation formations to prevent him from causing too much commotion.
The formation that could protect him and allow him to hide inside and undergo his tribulation...
Not a single one!
Rolling lightning gathered above his head. Even those outside the range of the lightning tribulation felt the heavy layer of lightning just by looking at it, and felt extremely uneasy.
This place was almost as dark as night, with only a brief moment of brightness when thunder roared, purple lightning flashed, and streaks of lightning streaked across the sky.
The lightning tribulation struck without warning, without any prior indication whatsoever!
boom!!
Beneath the lightning, Lin Xuan slowly raised his eyes, holding his sword in one hand, and looked at the lightning tribulation in the dome.
Such a heavy tribulation of lightning would put immense psychological pressure on those undergoing it.
But in Lin Xuan's eyes, there was no fear whatsoever, nor any fighting spirit whatsoever, as if this tribulation lightning was not even a worthy opponent for him.
What exists in his eyes is only...
indifferent!
Boundless indifference, viewing everything with detachment, showing no regard for this extremely fatal hurdle for most cultivators.
He casually raised his sword, and as the first bolt of lightning struck, he swung it upwards, striking it...
Annihilate them!
And this is just the beginning.
Then came the second, the third...
The lightning bolts rolled down, heading straight for Lin Xuan in the center of the formation, but Lin Xuan's movements were equally swift as he raised his sword to retaliate.
Soon, it will be the ninth!
Lin Xuan easily extinguished the ninth lightning tribulation with a swing of his sword, without even needing to replenish his Spiritual Power.
As he passed the ninth tribulation of lightning, the speed of the lightning strikes within the lightning layer slowed down slightly, and in the dome, the tenth tribulation of lightning slowly began to brew.
Even though Lin Xuan successfully survived the nine tribulations of lightning, Heavenly Venerable Yunli outside the formation did not let her guard down at all.
Anyone who has undergone tribulation knows very well that the ninth and tenth tribulations of the Emperor Realm are major hurdles.
To survive the tenth tribulation of lightning, one must comprehend and integrate at least ten Great Dao. Those who can comprehend and integrate ten Great Dao are already beyond the ordinary, not geniuses. It can be said that they don't even have the qualification to witness the tenth tribulation of lightning.
However, not all prodigies are qualified to survive the tenth tribulation of lightning!
However, Heavenly Venerable Yunli's worries were unnecessary.
The tenth lightning tribulation crashed down, like a winding dragon rolling towards Lin Xuan, but he didn't even glance at it, simply swinging his One Sword casually to annihilate it.
Wu Liang merely curled his lips slightly in response, showing no surprise whatsoever.
Lin Xuan was able to easily withstand ten lightning tribulations, which was normal in his eyes, after all, he knew how monstrous Lin Xuan was.
This is only the tenth lightning tribulation.
He would only be shocked if Lin Xuan struggled to even pass the tenth lightning tribulation.
On the contrary, Heavenly Venerable Yunli, who witnessed this scene firsthand, remained as shocked as ever.
Back then, she barely survived ten tribulations of lightning, which was extremely difficult. When she successfully entered the Emperor Realm, she was overjoyed that she hadn't chosen to continue fusing with the Great Dao.
What seemed like an extremely terrifying tribulation to her then and now was nothing more than One Sword strike to Lin Xuan.
With a casual flick of his wrist One Sword strike, he annihilated the tenth lightning tribulation. The difference in their abilities...
It's incredibly big!
Looking at Heavenly Venerable Yunli, who remained calm and composed, Lin Xuan Tianzun couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"This is really something, comparisons are odious..."
