You Are All My Good Friends
In the tribulations of the Demon Race race, the tribulation of inner demons is a part of the Lightning Tribulation.
However, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was something wrong with the inner demon tribulation. It was most likely a way of attracting Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, rather than their inner fear causing their minds to become clouded.
He felt that what he saw was very real and could not possibly be fake.
This was not due to Zhang Xuezhou's subjective judgment, but rather because his spiritual power was extremely strong, almost capable of fighting across realms. It was impossible for him to make a mistake in the Lightning Tribulation of Demon Race entering sainthood, even if the Lightning Tribulation he was enduring was the highest in its corresponding level.
In Zhang Xuezhou's eyes, it was a being so enormous that it terrified Zhang Xuezhou, almost giving Zhang Xuezhou megalophobia.
"A human body with a snake's tail, what kind of otherworldly demon is this?"
Zhang Xuezhou was aware that the only otherworldly demons he knew of were Presenel, as well as Nagos, Zodiac Immortal, and others.
When these beings fight, they shrink to the size of human bodies, which is perceptible to the senses.
Even though Presenel's unevolved body resembled an Airbus, and Qin Mengzhong was home to various gigantic beasts, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could accept it.
But he couldn't accept that an eye could be a hundred feet in size, which meant that his body could be ten thousand feet tall.
Even a single tear shed by the other party would be equivalent to the fall of tens of tons of water.
What the other party looked like wasn't the issue; the issue was its size. This was an abnormal creature, shattering all of Zhang Xuezhou's previous understanding.
"Even setting aside cultivation, the sheer power to support such a body of this otherworldly demon surpasses all worldly limits, enough to uproot the world's tallest mountain like a bamboo shoot!"
Zhang Xuezhou did not live to see the end of the Lightning Tribulation.
The Lightning Tribulation was indeed not part of his plan.
He didn't stay long after returning to Broken Soul Ridge, and then he became entangled in time travel and exchange.
With the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation providing cover, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could at least withstand the Lightning Tribulation. Furthermore, his body, even in its self-regulating state, still possessed the power to protect itself, so surviving shouldn't be a problem.
This kept Zhang Xuezhou's attention focused on the alien demons he had guided in his state of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven.
Just like Ren Wuyang was in that state, once locked on by the other party, this state of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven was not something Zhang Xuezhou could simply cancel.
This state was forcibly interrupted only when he returned to reality.
"Immortal!"
"Void Immortal!"
Zhang Xuezhou used to find the chanting of the escorts extremely noisy, but now he found it all pleasant to listen to.
"How dare you, a piece of trash from the Void Layer, covet the physical body of my race's seed! You have no fear!"
Amidst the mechanical, repetitive chanting, Zhang Xuezhou noticed a slight unusual sound, which he then interpreted as information being transmitted by a spiritual force.
Who exactly are you?
"Don't let me find out who you are!"
"Don't tell me you don't have any Great Emperors in your void. Even if you did have Great Emperor-level experts, they would inevitably be too weak to contend with my Queen Mother due to their inherent deficiencies, and would be unable to protect you!"
"Those who have borne the consequences of my clan's actions will inevitably suffer the same fate!"
"My Fu family divination will surely uncover... that damned Dao!"
Amidst the shouts and curses, Zhang Xuezhou felt his fear gradually dissipate.
There are indeed more powerful beings beyond this world, but they cannot do whatever they want, and even the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon who fight against them cannot do anything about it.
Whether it's making threats or something else, it all proves the other party's helplessness.
Zhang Xuezhou was indeed apprehensive about the unknown that was difficult to understand, but by comparing the results of his judgments, he found a reassuring answer in his heart.
He was like a fish in a fishbowl, but even those who dared to spy on him couldn't break the fishbowl.
Regardless of the future, the current troubles are at least over.
Once he awakens twelve days later, the things he saw during the Lightning Tribulation should no longer be able to haunt him.
As Zhang Xuezhou moved through the darkness, he tried to glean more information, but then found his thoughts becoming increasingly muddled and difficult to process.
His senses were distorted, even his three souls and seven spirits were distorted.
In a daze, Zhang Xuezhou sensed a familiar face appearing in his perception.
There was no light in the darkness, but Zhang Xuezhou could feel that Zhang's face was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it, even though the face was distorted.
After all, that's how I am in the real world.
He snapped out of his daze and realized that everything he possessed seemed to have changed after the distortion, and he himself had transformed into a real-life face.
"Hongjun, you've overstepped your bounds!"
"Fu Yan, even your father Fu Xi wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of me. You have no ability, but you're certainly very bold!"
"Then you can't take my things!"
"This is the punishment for not knowing proper etiquette!"
"You're blatantly stealing from a child, I..."
Amidst the distortion, Zhang Xuezhou felt the chanting voice remain, yet chaotic sounds entered his ears, along with cries of pain that vibrated back and forth.
"As long as you can disrupt her plans, you'll all be my good friends!"
Then came a familiar voice, one that was fading from his memory. For the first time, Zhang Xuezhou felt that even the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ' travels might not be so safe anymore.
The fact that he could use "you all" instead of "you" means that his and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ' status has been discovered, and they may even have a possible location.
Meanwhile, the opponent also blocked the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon that Zhang Xuezhou had located during the Lightning Tribulation.
"Fu Yan, Hongjun, is that the Hongjun that Zhenyuan Daojun mentioned?"
A thought crossed Zhang Xuezhou's mind.
This time, he spent a longer period of time traveling between locations than before.
This did not stem from the effect of his increased spiritual power, but rather from the fact that he seemed to be entangled and locked in a certain area, thus achieving a longer stay.
As the memories of Hongjun faded and became increasingly difficult to process in Zhang Xuezhou's mind, his thoughts quickly turned to this time travel.
Undoubtedly, the constant presentation of everything the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon possessed before him made his understanding more complete.
The distorted and ambiguous situation he is currently experiencing is most likely due to his insufficient mental strength, making it difficult for him to accurately identify the problem.
In the past, his travels were merely a blink of an eye, his weak three souls and seven spirits being transferred back and forth like cargo. However, as his cultivation and spiritual power continued to rise, he saw the process more and more clearly and gradually approached the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.
"If I can resist the distortion and change at that moment, he should have difficulty completing the switch!"
Contact leads to cognition, and clear cognition inevitably leads to targeted abilities.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that if his mental strength improved further, he might be able to restore his distorted perception to normal.
Under normal, perceptible conditions, he possesses a relatively equivalent ability.
He can choose to exchange time with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, or he can resist such time travel, thus having more freedom to control his own travel time, no longer being fixed at twelve days as before.
If his mental strength were stronger, he might be able to control this kind of travel, and thus actively request to travel, or even suddenly descend when the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon possess his body, just as they had in the past when they fought against the Desolate.
