Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation
Even before returning to her own era, Sang Ying had already sensed that her cultivation level was loosening, and it probably wouldn't be long before she broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
It was probably because she was living in an era that did not belong to her, and because the Hidden Nether Realm lacked sufficient Spiritual Qi, that Sang Ying was delayed in receiving the heavenly lightning.
When she returned to the Black Tortoise Realm, the abundant Spiritual Qi immediately surged into her Qi Vortex as if it were going crazy, and gradually gathered into a vortex within her Qi Vortex.
Sang Ying immediately understood that this was a sign that she was about to form her nascent soul.
Since the heavenly lightning is about to strike, these people certainly won't just stand by and watch her cultivation advance. So she might as well take a gamble and make this heavenly lightning a catastrophe for these hypocritical people!
With a thunderous roar, a bolt of lightning ripped through the dark clouds, displaying its immense power to the cultivators on the ground.
Every living thing fears the might of heavenly thunder.
The cultivators were even more so. Having cultivated to this point, they had experienced countless heavenly tribulations, each time fraught with danger. Seeing this scene again now was like returning to the time when they were undergoing their tribulations.
The thunder overhead made a slight noise, and everyone scurried away like mice before a cat.
"You female cultivator, what are you doing?!" An elder of the Limitless Sect panicked and immediately questioned Sang Ying.
At this moment, Sang Ying was frantically absorbing Spiritual Qi, making full preparations for her upcoming tribulation.
She opened her eyes and looked at the elder, only to realize that he was the one who had repeatedly targeted her, relying on Sect Master Wu's influence. "Can't you all see clearly? This junior is preparing to undergo tribulation!"
The elder was so angry he nearly fell over. Couldn't he see that Sang Ying was preparing for her tribulation? He was asking why Sang Ying was undergoing her tribulation here!
The Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation is terrifying. A moment's carelessness can level a mountain. Sang Ying is currently within the Limitless Sect; if she undergoes her tribulation here, wouldn't she be allowing the heavenly lightning to destroy the entire Limitless Sect?
The elder was quite clever and quickly guessed part of Sang Ying's plan.
But it's only a "part" of it.
"Young Fellow Daoist Sang, why are you in such a hurry? There are no barriers or Law Artifact here. Wouldn't it be dangerous to undergo tribulation here? Why don't we prepare a better place for you? Perhaps you'll have a better chance of forming your Nascent Soul if you go there to undergo tribulation." Sect Master Wu's last few words were tinged with sarcasm.
They now have the upper hand, and the black dragon has fainted at such a crucial moment. Sang Ying's faction has lost all its support. What tricks can they possibly pull besides surrendering?
As for Sang Ying's desire to undergo tribulation... Sect Master Wu simply didn't believe she would risk her life to fight them.
Sect Master Wu was very good at judging others by his own standards; in his view, the most important thing in the world was naturally one's own life.
But Sang Ying smiled upon hearing this, "There's no need to change locations. This place is the best place for me to undergo my tribulation!"
As if to confirm her words, the first bolt of lightning struck down hard, catching everyone off guard.
Sect Master Wu was also startled by the huge commotion. He looked up at the thick clouds, and when he looked down at Sang Ying, he was horrified to find that she was heading in his direction!
Sect Master Wu's eyes widened, but before he could react, the enormous tribulation cloud had completely enveloped him.
"Are you insane? Including other cultivators within the tribulation cloud during your tribulation will only intensify your tribulation!" The Nascent Soul eighty-one tribulations, each extraordinary. Now, with the addition of a high-level cultivator, does Sang Ying not want to survive this tribulation?
Before he could even think it through, two bolts of lightning struck Sang Ying and his head from behind the tribulation clouds.
Having cultivated for many years, Sang Ying had a solid foundation and was naturally not afraid of the first lightning tribulation. Sect Master Wu was also a high-level cultivator who had survived many lightning tribulations, and he easily withstood this one as well.
But perhaps because he had committed too many evils, after receiving this lightning tribulation, one of the fingers on Sect Master Wu's right hand instantly turned black!
Upon seeing this, Sang Ying said, "Sect Master Wu, this is a case of 'those who do many evil deeds will surely perish.' Let's see if you can withstand the next eighty bolts of heavenly lightning!"
Seeing Sang Ying's almost insane behavior, the others immediately understood her plan. They forgot all about dragons and turned to run away.
But what's the use of running away now? Sang Ying's tribulation cloud was already huge, and after incorporating Sect Master Wu, it grew even larger, almost enveloping the entire Limitless Sect.
If these powerful figures could have left the Limitless Sect's territory before the tribulation began, they might have escaped this calamity. However, they coveted Sang Ying's divine artifact and refused to leave, so it's too late for them to escape now.
With the slightest movement of her foot, Sang Ying immediately drew them all into the range of the lightning tribulation.
As the dark tribulation clouds overhead grew larger and larger, and the purple light flowing within them became increasingly ferocious, Fang Chi and the others hiding outside the Limitless Sect became tense. Fu Shuangjiang, who had guessed her intentions, clenched her fists silently.
"What is she trying to do? What is she doing?! Does she have a death wish?" Fang Chi gritted her teeth, wanting to rush in and punch her friend, but before she could take a step, Hai Tingzhou stopped her.
The brothers Jimo Qing and Jimo Xuan looked at their sister amidst the lightning tribulation, their expressions more somber than ever before.
They should have guessed it long ago; Sang Ying had actually made such a plan.
She clearly wanted to take all these people down with her!
Unaware of her companions' excitement and sorrow, Sang Ying was struggling to withstand the heavenly lightning, which was many times more powerful than before. Not only that, she deliberately moved closer to Sect Master Wu and the others. Only when she saw that he also seemed unable to withstand the power of the heavenly lightning, with one of his hands charred black by the lightning, did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Using lightning to break the deadlock was a risky move she made out of desperation. Sang Ying herself was not sure if it would succeed, but it seemed that even if it didn't kill these people, it would certainly inflict considerable injuries on them.
Another bolt of lightning struck, Sang Ying felt the taste of blood rising in her mouth. She gritted her teeth and refused to let go, afraid that if she loosened her grip, she would lose her breath.
"Ah!"
"Help me, help me!"
"This has nothing to do with me! Why didn't Tian Lei see clearly? This has nothing to do with us!"
The person who had previously been arrogant and domineering, forcing Jiang Zhuoxue to her death and making Sang Ying obediently hand over the divine artifact, was now screaming in agony.
Dozens of bolts of heavenly lightning struck simultaneously, not only swiftly cleaving the group of cultivators but also instantly reducing the luxurious Limitless Sect mountains of the Wuji Sect to ashes.
Those who had already escaped the Limitless Sect's territory watched this grand tribulation with trembling hearts.
If they hadn't been relatively polite beforehand and hadn't incurred Sang Ying's wrath, they would probably be among those suffering under the lightning tribulation now.
It's just unknown how long this tribulation of lightning will last...
