The Tribulation Ends

As the only "Thunder God" in the area, Hu Mang could sense almost everything inside and outside the Demon-Subduing City, and then he saw this scene.

The thunderclouds covering a radius of a thousand miles were torn apart. In the hands of a true master, the so-called tribulation clouds were merely a nuisance.

The void within a radius of a hundred miles shattered like a mirror, with the shattered fragments exploding on the spot, transforming into a spatial storm that the Hu Mang had never seen before.

At the eye of the storm, the sky-covering Buddhist light, the demonic sword that could cut down everything, and the terrifying swordsmanship wielded with the power of ascension intertwined to form a deadly net, and trapped at the center of this net was none other than the "figure of an immortal."

At this moment, the "immortal" was no longer a skin and bones, but a head of waist-length black hair had emerged from his head, falling smoothly over his shoulders and waist; his originally withered and slender body now vaguely revealed a graceful curve with a prominent front and rear; and his cold and aloof face, with skin as white as snow and eyebrows as beautiful as a painting, although carrying an awe-inspiring and unapproachable immortal aura, was clearly a peerless beauty that could topple kingdoms—as if Heavenly Immortal the heavens had descended to earth.

She was actually a female fairy?

Hu Mang immediately recognized the figure on the fifth floor.

So it was all your doing, you rascal—no, it was you, you woman, who pulled this stunt.

"So, this female immortal found the corpse of the female Thunder God from back then, and then used Thunder God to create five Thunder God clones in one go. Why would she do that? To confuse the secrets of heaven?"

Hu Mang recalled the scene she had witnessed, and the causes, fates, Fortune surrounding her seemed to make sense now.

It turns out it was all a honey trap.

A honey trap in the literal sense!

"You can't blame me for this, sis. It's your performance as the Five Thunders Devil-Subduing Great General that was so realistic, it got me all hooked. If you had done something else, I probably wouldn't have gotten involved. If I hadn't, you could have sent those righteous disciples away and done whatever you wanted. You know, this is a terrible entanglement."

Hu Mang clicked his tongue in amazement.

"On another note, the high-end combat power of this Azure Mysterious Realm is too monstrous. Even the Heavenly Gate's strategic-level Law Treasure, the legendary Clear Qi Bomb refined from the Clear Qi of the Nine Heavens, is probably only at this level."

Even in his current state, Hu Mang could sense the abnormality of these four people.

What's even more extraordinary is the swordsmanship of two of them.

Hu Mang had never seen swordsmanship of this level before. Among the demonic swords, Hu Mang could still see the shadow of the legendary Sword Realm's "One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws," but the sword intent evolved from that ascension power had completely transcended the shackles of swordsmanship. It was no longer a sword, but the manifestation of the will of heaven. Hu Mang would believe you if you said it was 100% Compatibility.

Of the four present, it would be an exaggeration to say that they could instantly kill Hu Mang in his Thunder God form, but Hu Mang felt that he couldn't withstand three moves either.

Suddenly, the Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian " within the Hu Mang's body jerked. He looked down and discovered that his shadow was leaving his body.

His gaze turned towards the outside of the city. Originally, under the illumination of the thunderclouds, the Demon-Subduing City cast a huge shadow, but now this enormous shadow was gradually disappearing.

"Moreover, it seems there are other people who want to get involved."

Hu Mang's gaze met that of a Daoist priest outside the city. The priest's face looked very familiar; it was none other than Master Yun Shuo, whom he had met a few days ago.

Master Yun Shuo also recognized the enormous lightning shadow in the city and quietly shook his head at it.

Hu Mang immediately understood what the other party meant, and his gaze once again fell on the battlefield of the "Clear Bomb" in the sky.

He knew that the outcome would be decided soon.

Bai Ningjie has already Qi Deviation. She has controlled the "Jade Lock Devil Heart" for far longer than she should have been able to. Logically, she should only be able to unleash the full power of the "Demon Sword" three times at most; once that number is exceeded, 100%...

Qi Deviation.

But now, she has swung her flying sword more than 10 times, so there is no doubt that she has Qi Deviation.

Strangely enough, even when Qi Deviation, she did not lose her mind or become completely immersed in the killing.

There are two reasons for this. First, whenever she is about to be completely controlled by the sword intent and fall into the demonic path, a ray of pure light will fall into her heart, protecting her few remaining mental faculties. She naturally knows that it is her Tiangu, the Heavenly Maiden, who is secretly helping her while she is controlling the sword.

Secondly, the opponent was terrifying. Although she didn't know which immortal sect this person belonged to, every time she exerted all her strength to unleash the High Heavens Sword Instruction, it was easily blocked by the opponent. In the end, Bai Ningjie felt that she was not controlling the demonic sword, but rather the demonic sword was controlling her, using her physical body to unleash the almost indestructible Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Devil Light.

In short, the opponent was too strong and became the main target of his attacks after he became possessed by demons.

Behind Bai Ningjie, the phantom of an aged demonic cult leader became increasingly clear, revealing a strange smile. The next moment, he rubbed his hands together, and the overwhelming demonic light forcefully blocked the pure yang Immortal Qi from all directions, causing the female immortal who was trying to Shattering the Void to escape to frown once again.

In fact, once one's cultivation reaches the Refining Spirit to Return to the Void realm, especially after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation, one is already equivalent to half an immortal. The only difference lies in which path one chooses to follow and what rank one wants to attain.

The higher the professional level, the more daunting the difficulty of obtaining certification becomes.

Then a situation will arise where powerful figures in the lower realms who are trying to attain higher ranks will not take some low-ranking immortals seriously.

In particular, the Demonic Sect emphasizes defying the heavens to seek the Dao, killing all things to prove the Demonic Path. Almost no sect leader-level figures would attempt to attain a lower rank, even if they completely fall into the Demonic Path and transform into Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil.

The one opposite her was the same. As soon as the Hundred Spirits Immortal-Slaying Devil Light was unleashed, it clearly suppressed her immortal status. Obviously, this Old Devil was definitely a person with ideas in his previous life.

Because to attain certain positions, one must not only overcome heavenly tribulations but also slay immortals.

The female immortal suddenly became alert, for within the demonic light, a wisp of murderous intent suddenly appeared. Almost at the moment the murderous intent appeared, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws slashed down.

At the same time, the sword intent evolved from the power of ascension also descended from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens once again, attempting to strip her of her karmic status.

The female immortal had no choice but to abandon her plan to completely restore her immortal body once again. She plunged her palm into the void, and a sword light and a sword intent were caught by her.

However, the next moment, from within the fragments of the void, a wisp of demonic light leaped out from one of the fragments and transformed directly into a large, ghost-headed blade—the very same decapitation blade that had disappeared at the execution ground!

This sword, as a key component of the place where demons are suppressed, has severed the heads of countless Devil Creature in the past. More importantly, it has also severed the heads of Orthodox Mystic Gate!

The demon-headed broadsword fell downwards, a flash of demonic light appeared, and the female immortal let out a shrill scream as a hand shot into the sky.

The next moment, the sword intent from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, simultaneously pierced into her body.

"The battle is over!" Hu Mang muttered to himself.

The immortal figure visibly crashed to the ground. At the same time, an object radiating pure yang immortal light shot into the sky. In addition, Zhen'ezi, Mingting, and Daoist Yun Shuo all charged into the battle like madmen. Even Rogue Person Yunxiu and Immortal Guest Zhenxia, whose cultivation was far from sufficient to participate, rushed over there desperately.

Clearly, the legacy of the fallen immortal had stirred the nerves of everyone present.

Besides the Hu Mang, after killing the Thunder God's true form with that spear, he felt that some of his own tribulation power had been consumed.

Fortunately, the Thunder God's true form was a fake, so he didn't consume much energy. Therefore, he could easily unleash another "Tribulation Breaking" attack.

The next moment, a thunderbolt descended from the sky, blocking Mingting's path. The thunderclouds gathered again, and the enormous phantom of the Thunder God reappeared.

"It's you," Mingting clearly recognized the other person.

Hu Mang grinned but did not answer.

His Dragon Eye snapped open instantly.

In that instant, the energy of heaven and earth, the trajectory and key points of the calamities, and all the gaps that could be pried open appeared in his eyes, as clear as a blueprint drawn with ink lines on a white paper.

The direction of every stream of air, every thread of cause and effect, and every weak point of the calamity's power are all laid bare.

And his gun, too, pierced through these gaps.

Without any earth-shattering display, the spear technique appeared rather unremarkable to onlookers.

With a simple thrust, the spear tip followed a seemingly slow trajectory, piercing through layers of lightning and energy barriers, and reaching its destination.

But in Mingting's eyes, it was a completely different story.

The shot seemed not to have come from in front of him, but from countless directions and from countless points in time, all at once.

He clearly saw the trajectory of the spear tip, but found that no matter how he dodged, parried, or countered, he could not avoid that seemingly simple straight line: his Yang Spirit was frantically warning him within his body, and every inch of his physical instincts was screaming for him to retreat, but his body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.

The gun flashed past.

An arm was raised high, drawing an arc in the air before falling to the ground with a dull thud.

Mingting didn't even have time to manifest his Primordial Spirit; he merely avoided the vital point at the last moment.

Blood gushed out, and lightning crackled wildly at the severed arm. Mingting tried to seal the wound, but the terrifying spear intent clung to the edge of the wound like a malignant tumor, preventing any attempt to heal.

Just as the Hu Mang was about to deliver the finishing blow, it suddenly let out a soft exclamation, likely influenced by the gathering thunderclouds, as the previously radiant light...

The object flew straight towards him.

Seeing this, Mingting on the opposite side acted decisively without hesitation or even uttering a harsh word. He gritted his teeth and unleashed the Blood Sacrifice Thunder Escape Technique the Thunder Sect. A large amount of Essence Blood gushed out from his severed arm, transforming into countless fine streaks of blood-red lightning in mid-air, shooting out in all directions. Each streak of blood lightning carried a portion of his aura, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and vanished into the distant thunderclouds in an instant.

From beginning to end, neither side exchanged a single unnecessary word.

Clearly, grudges are better settled with weapons than words.

Hu Mang immediately changed direction and pounced on the object. He didn't have much tribulation power left, so this object was most likely his last gain.

He grabbed the thing, then swiftly and decisively poured the remaining lightning power into the fragment, disappearing into the dark clouds in the next instant.

Within moments, one terrifying aura after another descended upon this Thunder Commandery Domain.
