Above the nine layers of the Endless Sea, terrifying lightning clouds swallowed up the once calm and clear sky almost instantly.
Concealed within the thick, purplish-black lightning was a thunder dragon, roaring and howling, flashing with formidable power, poised to strike.
This power was truly terrifying; it sent chills down one's spine.
After initially cursing in their hearts, they gradually came to their senses and were all shocked by the scene before them.
How terrifying, what a powerful aura...
What kind of being must be undergoing tribulation to possess such power?
Even the strongest among them wouldn't dare say that they could have such a grand scene when they underwent their tribulation!
It connects with the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth, and draws upon the myriad laws of thunder and tribulation.
The sky, already thick with clouds, is now completely obscured by darkness.
Even cultivators with the lowest cultivation level of the Thearch Realm felt as insignificant as ants under this dome filled with tribulation clouds, living in constant fear and despondency.
This was because the lightning tribulation in the sky was simply too terrifying; each bolt of lightning contained the immense power to annihilate low-level cultivators.
They simply couldn't fathom what level of tribulation this was.
Even the seawater of the Endless Sea was churning and evaporating under this tribulation of lightning.
Even some Saint Realm experts felt their scalps tingle upon seeing this scene. An indescribable sense of dread assaulted their hearts, making their chests feel as if they were frozen, and they couldn't help but take deep breaths.
That's truly quite shocking.
But that's not the most surprising part.
"Oh no! Look at that temple!"
"Hiss..."
"How could this be? Why is the temple moving?!"
Amidst the mixed expressions of fear and disbelief in the crowd's eyes, the Void Ancient Palace, which they regarded as the location of a great fortuitous opportunity, began to move once again!
However, the direction of its movement was actually towards the center of the lightning tribulation!
Especially...
Something's not right!
The Saint Realm being floating in mid-air spoke in a slurred tone, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets, and he managed to utter a few words with difficulty.
" The Divine Mark outside this palace seem to have been activated!?"
"What... what kind of pattern is this?"
at the same time.
Inside the main hall.
Feeling the earth-shaking tremor, even the Great Saint Goumang's eyes changed.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although his soul couldn't sense it, his whole body tensed up.
"Master... what exactly happened?" Lin Ling asked with a frown after regaining her balance.
This fluctuation was truly terrifying, making it difficult for even a powerful Thearch Realm expert like her to maintain her balance.
It was as if even her very soul was shaking.
But the next moment, what Great Saint Goumang said made her expression change drastically.
"If I'm not mistaken, someone outside must be undergoing tribulation!"
"I wonder what kind of terrifyingly powerful expert is undergoing tribulation, that they have even triggered the Principle heaven and earth. Such a terrifying tribulation is something that even an ordinary Great Saint would find difficult to accomplish, let alone a Saint Realm expert."
"This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening. How could such a powerful expert from the Eastern Continent choose to undergo tribulation in the Endless Sea..."
"This is troublesome..."
"This main hall is now being drawn by the Spiritual Power of that powerful figure, and the teleportation array has begun to revive. If this continues, this ancient hall might be activated..."
The moment the word "activate" was uttered, Su Lianxin and Lin Ling's expressions changed drastically.
"Recovery!?"
"No, we have to find a way out quickly!"
Lin Ling made a quick decision, pulling Su Lianxin along to leave.
However, before she could even move, the even more helpless voice of Great Saint Goumang rang out again.
"Don't waste your energy, disciple. This place is a teleportation hall, and moreover, a peerless Saint Artifact. Once the teleportation is activated, all exits will be closed. Although it's not impossible to leave... only the master of the hall can operate it."
The master of the main hall...
Lin Ling stopped abruptly, her expression becoming complicated.
So, does that mean they have no chance of getting out at all right now?!
Both of their shoulders tensed involuntarily, yet also relaxed somewhat helplessly.
That's true...
It's not entirely a bad thing.
At least they no longer have to make choices.
Moreover, the good news is that once this place is revived, they will be able to reach the Eastern Continent, which cultivators dream of, and obtain the inheritance left behind by a Saint King.
only...
The bad news is that once you leave this place, it may be difficult to return.
Meanwhile, in the cave abode beneath the Endless Sea, as the lightning tribulation brewed on the dome grew increasingly terrifying, Lin Xuan's cultivation aura became even more frightening.
He paused slightly amidst the thunder, then slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, all the spiritual fruits floating beside him turned to dust.
In a short time, Lin Xuan used up most of the resources in his Storage Bag to protect his cultivation. Now, he only has a portion of healing pills left in his Storage Bag.
He glanced at the cave abode where he had stayed for a few days without any hesitation, then with a flick of his sleeve, his figure rose straight up from the ground, bursting out of the sea and standing in mid-air, looking up at the lightning tribulation in the sky.
The next moment, the lightning tribulation crashed down!
The other onlookers had already retreated far away, not daring to linger in the center of the lightning tribulation.
All anyone could see was a figure standing with a sword in hand, confronting the lightning at the very center of the tribulation, where purple-black lightning crackled.
The lightning tribulations that made their teeth ache struck the other person again and again. As time passed, they became more and more terrifying, and they became more and more frightened. But the figure never wavered even once!
As the 108th Saint Realm Lightning Tribulation finally struck, Lin Xuan's figure swayed slightly.
His face was blackened, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his eyes shone with an unusual brightness.
As the lightning tribulation in the sky slowly dissipated and the shadows faded, the spiritual rain finally began to fall down relentlessly.
The blessings of Heavenly Dao washed away all of Lin Xuan's wounds, and his aura soared even higher!
Ancient Emperor, shattered!
Saint Realm, complete!
Sword Domain... Fourfold Emergence!
The previously scattered Sword Domain and the aura of the Saint Realm were completely combined. After gaining the strength of the Saint Realm, Lin Xuan finally possessed a true Saint Realm Sword Domain!
now...
"With my cultivation level and strength, I'm afraid I could easily suppress even Middle-Stage Great Saint!"
After a moment of contemplation, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips.
Besides, this is just his most basic level of strength.
If he were to burn the Lin Clan Holy Blood and unleash his full power, even he wouldn't know just how strong he truly was.
but...
He slightly raised his eyes, looked around, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was extremely rich and gentle, a gift from heaven and earth given to him as he broke through his cultivation level.
However, his injuries were not serious to begin with, and now his hidden injuries were completely healed. He had not consumed too much Spiritual Power, but the Spiritual Power in the vicinity was being swallowed up by a whale and was flowing away wildly!
And the culprit...
It was a void palace that suddenly appeared and was relentlessly crushing and crashing towards him!
