Heart Demon Tribulation

The art of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven has its advantages, but it also presents potential problems.

Zhang Xuezhou has witnessed both the benefits and the drawbacks.

The state of harmony between Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven brings enlightenment to Technique Method, which once helped Zhunti his cloud-riding technique and also played an indispensable role in Zhang Xuezhou's breakthrough of the physical body technique to the Divine Ability Realm realm of 32,000 acupoints.

However, when Ren Wuyang activated the state of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven, he once attracted an unknown and powerful being from a distant place, and the being almost traced back to Ren Wuyang's spatial coordinates.

Zhang Xuezhou never expected that he would experience the same situation in a different world.

The attention-grabbing event didn't occur during the two days of promoting the physical body technique, but rather after the continuous explosions of tribulation lightning.

Zhang Xuezhou is used to running away, but he is not a coward. He has even been struck by lightning in the real world. He is afraid of lightning but does not show any confusion or helplessness.

What truly horrified and even terrified Zhang Xuezhou was a pair of bloodshot eyes. Through the thunder and tribulation clouds, Zhang Xuezhou could see a pair of eyes staring at him from the horizon.

He was like a fish darting about in a bathtub, while the humans stared wide-eyed at him from outside the tank.

Just thinking about this comparison sent chills down Zhang Xuezhou's spine, and he felt a surge of madness.

But no matter where he flew, Zhang Xuezhou could feel those eyes always staring at him.

"A demon from another realm has its eyes on me. Its eyes almost blot out the sky; they're at least hundreds or thousands of feet in size..."

Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

Unable to resolve the problem himself, Zhang Xuezhou quickly sought help from Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan has been in extremely poor condition for the past few days, and Zhang Xuezhou's request for help, which has caused trouble, is indeed somewhat unethical, but Zhang Xuezhou has nowhere else to turn for help.

He was racing against time to resolve the health issues caused by the "locked-up yang" condition, as his return to the real world was fast approaching.

"Don't worry... Sigh... What you're seeing is just a tribulation of inner demons!"

A bolt of purple lightning struck, hitting Divine Lord Zhenyuan on the head with the stray lightning.

The purple light of Law Power swept over, Divine Lord Zhenyuan's body went numb. The ribbons binding his hair were also burned, and his full head of black hair almost exploded into a bird's nest.

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's anxious expression, he could only try his best to comfort him.

"The stronger the Lightning Tribulation, the easier it is to trigger inner demons, causing you to see all sorts of strange things," Divine Lord Zhenyuan shouted, explaining. "As long as you remain steadfast... it doesn't matter if you don't, this lightning won't kill you anyway; it will dissipate over time!"

"That's not an inner demon, that's a demon from another realm, it's locking onto my coordinates in this space!"

Zhang Xuezhou also shouted loudly. His body was enormous, his voice was like thunder, and the flapping of his wings caused a whirlwind.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt as if misfortune never comes singly. His body, which had been consuming Suoyang, already had limited Law Power. In the past two days, he had helped Zhang Xuezhou kill Ming Wangpeng, a top-tier demon king, and had been constantly refining blood essence through the Purple Gold Red Gourd. He was almost at his last gasp when Zhang Xuezhou dragged him into the range of the Lightning Tribulation. Unfortunately, Zhang Xuezhou followed him around, and Divine Lord Zhenyuan couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou's uncontrollable shouts were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. Divine Lord Zhenyuan also became somewhat self-destructive, directly abandoning his guidance of Zhang Xuezhou and instead cowering in fear of lightning.

"I saw his head! It was a gigantic, indescribably terrifying head, covered in scales that seemed impervious to lightning! My Lord, this is truly horrifying! He's still getting closer!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted repeatedly, his voice beginning to betray a sense of fear, as if he had been threatened.

When Divine Lord Zhenyuan looked up, he saw only rolling thunder serpents in the black tribulation clouds, with no eyes or heads in sight.

But Divine Lord Zhenyuan was truly beyond explanation, and Zhang Xuezhou had no reason to listen to his explanations at this point; the other party was simply pestering him for help.

"I've just released the restraints. You can go to Broken Soul Ridge to get the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation to conceal yourself and avoid that terrifying alien demon!"

A series of thunderbolts struck, and Divine Lord Zhenyuan, unable to bear the pain any longer, had no choice but to agree with Zhang Xuezhou's words. He then shouted that he would follow Zhang's advice and offered his suggestions.

It's better for the formation to be destroyed than for him to be destroyed. Besides, his area is hundreds of miles away from Broken Soul Ridge. Zhang Xuezhou might not even have flown to Broken Soul Ridge before the Lightning Tribulation ends, so he might not even need the formation he set up a few days ago.

"Then I'll go!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and the remaining lightning bolts that coiled around his seven-zhang-long body moved like electric snakes.

As the gale howled, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt the enormous shadow that had been looming over his head finally recede.

"Inner demon tribulations are mostly seen in high-level Lightning Tribulation. The Lightning Tribulation that the Holy Son is experiencing should be the Seventh Nine Heavenly Tribulation that I guessed it was!"

Implanting Demon Power into the body carries extremely high risks. Either the Demon Power becomes difficult to distinguish from the power of Qi and Blood and qi, or the Law Power, making it difficult to match when one's strength reaches a certain level; or the Demon Power causes mental agitation and confusion; or, like Zhang Xuezhou, one needs to use a human body to overcome the demonic tribulation when cultivating to the Divine Ability Realm.

Those who possess the powerful physical bodies of Demon Race are ultimately a minority. Many who borrow Demon Power not only find it more difficult to attain Divine Ability, but they may also encounter Lightning Tribulation when they enter the Divine Ability Realm. If they are not properly protected, they will die and their cultivation will be destroyed, let alone successfully break through to the Divine Ability Realm.

Zhang Xuezhou first cultivated Divine Ability, and then, due to the effect of Suoyang, he re-refined his physical body. He then guided a technique similar to the Law of Heaven and Earth, and subsequently added a demonic Lightning Tribulation.

This undoubtedly broadened Divine Lord Zhenyuan's horizons, as he had never seen anything like it in all these years.

"The Lightning Tribulation is a great calamity, but it is also the purest Lightning Tribulation in the world. All heretical situations will be annihilated under the lightning. This might even eliminate the future trouble caused by the Holy Son's indiscriminate consumption of blood essence!"

As long as he wasn't struck dead by Lightning Tribulation, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt there was nothing wrong with undergoing the tribulation; Zhang Xuezhou being struck by lightning was very timely.

"His flying speed is too fast!"

The rumble of thunder faded into the distance, leaving only a low tinnitus in the ears.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan raised his head and felt that Zhang Xuezhou's flying speed in this state was too fast, even exceeding his flying speed when he used his full strength.

This was not due to Zhang Xuezhou's greatly improved flying skills at this moment, but rather because Zhang Xuezhou's seven-zhang-tall body had the ability to control it to fly normally, resulting in a flying speed that was nearly ten times faster than normal.

"The Holy Son's technique, which resembles the Law of Heaven and Earth, actually allows him to fly!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed forward. His right hand had already transformed into a length of more than ten zhang, like a wisp of light grabbing onto trees to propel his body forward at explosive speed in a short period of time.

Compared to his full-speed leap, this shortcut to travel is undoubtedly inferior.

However, Divine Lord Zhenyuan was in a state of disarray and had no other choice but to use this method to rush back to the vicinity of Duanhun Ridge to check the situation.

The thunder gradually faded into the distance and eventually disappeared completely.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan traveled for a long time with his head covered until familiar terrain came into view.

He leaped into the air with all his might, and when he looked into the distance, he felt a chill run through his heart.

"The Holy Son flew too fast, it's over!"

From afar, Divine Lord Zhenyuan could only see a scorched earth on Duanhun Ridge.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan had made plans beforehand, feeling that it was better to use an array to avert disaster than to be injured himself.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou not only ruined the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, but also caused the Longevity Fruit Tree to suffer as a result.

Seeing the Longevity Fruit Tree, its leaves almost gone, stuck in the earth like a withered tree, and two bodies lying beneath it, Divine Lord Zhenyuan once suspected that he had lost both people and wealth.

But as he got closer, he saw the Empress Dowager, dressed in a jade burial suit, being blasted out of the ground. Her body was completely obliterated. But Zhang Xuezhou's body was still writhing beside her. It was as if a hole had been drilled in his head, and a misty purple aura of Law Power was constantly spewing out like juice. Even after his body returned to normal, he was still panting.

At Broken Soul Ridge, one died, one survived, and one suffered misfortune; things weren't too bad.

Only then did Divine Lord Zhenyuan realize that the risk of death from taking Suoyang had been eliminated.

This is quite different from what Divine Lord Zhenyuan had previously envisioned—a bittersweet turn of events.

He felt distressed and tried to think for a long time before his thoughts finally cleared up.
