Driven into a Desperate Corner
A bolt of lightning reduced the Limitless Sect to ashes, drawing attention from all sides of the Black Tortoise Realm.
The cultivators who had previously regretted not being able to witness the Dragon Slaying Ceremony were now watching the tribulation cloud in the distance with bated breath, fearing that it would drift down on their heads at any moment.
"Phew, it's finally stopped. If it had continued to expand like this, I was really afraid that this cloud of tribulation would have enveloped our entire city," a rogue Rogue Cultivator sighed softly.
Those nearby, upon hearing this, not only refuted or mocked him, but also nodded slightly.
Not only the Rogue Cultivator, but everyone else was also startled when they saw the wildly expanding tribulation clouds.
Most of them had never personally experienced a tribulation of lightning, but they had seen others undergoing it. It was extremely difficult to safely pass through a tribulation of lightning; some cultivators with unstable foundations even lost their lives on the spot.
Therefore, cultivators hold absolute awe towards lightning tribulations.
However, today's tribulation was too strange and too sudden. Such a powerful tribulation didn't seem like a cultivator undergoing tribulation; it was more like a rare treasure appearing in the world.
For this reason, some reclusive old monsters who were not originally disturbed by the Limitless Sect -slaying incident secretly left their secluded cave abode and came to "search for treasure".
Unfortunately, when they arrived, all they saw was a scene of devastation and dozens of powerful figures who were quite famous in the Black Tortoise Realm but had gone mad at this moment.
However, they weren't stupid; they immediately realized that the real person undergoing tribulation was the girl with the lowest cultivation level among them.
It must have been that girl who directly pulled them into her own tribulation.
"Hiss, she's got guts. Everyone knows that you can only face the tribulation yourself. If someone else enters the tribulation's range, the tribulation will be intensified. But look at this, one, two, three... a total of thirty-seven Spirit Transformation cultivators and above have been pulled into this tribulation. This girl really doesn't want to live." An old man with white hair and beard couldn't help but click his tongue after seeing the scene in the ruins of the Limitless Sect.
The old man with the sword beside him chimed in, "This girl doesn't want to live; she's been driven into a corner!"
Unlike others who remained in seclusion and never concerned themselves with outside affairs, the old man carrying the sword had heard about the beast tide that had previously struck the Black Tortoise Realm. Moreover, he knew that the one who had stopped the beast tide and saved the entire Black Tortoise Realm was that little girl below.
The old man had always known that the current sect leader of the Limitless Sect was no good, but because he had a good relationship with several of the Limitless Sect's elders and was not a member of the Limitless Sect himself, he didn't want to interfere. However, he never expected that he would come out of seclusion after only a short period of cultivation to witness the Limitless Sect committing such a disgusting act.
The Dragon Race is powerful and a divine beast, which would indeed attract many covetous eyes. But the old man carrying the sword never thought of coveting anything from the Dragon Race. Rather than letting this behemoth fall, he would rather see it soaring through the air.
Unfortunately, he sighed; he had arrived too late.
The original eighty-one lightning tribulations became one hundred, and the original Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation were actually upgraded to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Sang Ying, who only had the cultivation level of the Golden Core Late Stage, was practically risking her life to fight against these powerful figures.
These powerful beings were taken into the tribulation lightning that did not belong to them by Sang Ying. They originally thought that this Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation only looked terrifying, and that since they were all powerful beings, they would be able to pass through it safely.
But who knew that the heavenly lightning wasn't striking their bodies or cultivation levels, but rather their sins!
The fact that this group could kill innocent mortals and frame Jiang Zhuoxue for all the crimes shows that they are not good people at all. Over the years, they have done many such harmful things in order to Cultivation Resources and Law Treasure.
It's just that these people's cultivation has stagnated, and it's difficult for them to have another chance to break through. So even if they commit evil deeds, they are not afraid that they will be exposed during the tribulation.
But who could have imagined that a mere Golden Core cultivator would dare to risk her life by exchanging her own tribulation lightning for theirs?
The heavenly lightning, possessing the power to cleanse evil, continuously unleashed its might. Bolts of lightning as thick as buckets struck the powerful beings, lashing out at their sins, which clung to them like maggots, causing them unbearable pain.
Among them, Sect Master Wu was the most outstanding.
As the sect leader of the Limitless Sect, all his secrets were exposed to his eyes. His sins included not only his own, but also those he helped to conceal.
By the time the lightning had struck halfway through, his hands and feet had already turned to charcoal. It could be said that he was now a cripple.
But this is just the beginning.
Sang Ying, who was also under the tribulation of lightning, was not having an easier time than them.
The lightning tribulation belonging to the Spirit Transformation was far too powerful for her to withstand. If Sang Ying hadn't built a solid foundation and cultivated a strong physique over the years, she would never be standing here now.
After the fifty-first bolt of heavenly lightning struck, she finally knelt down like the others.
The white-haired old man sighed with pity, "What a pity! With her talent, she could have easily survived this tribulation. What a pity!"
"I don't think so," the old man with the sword suddenly spoke again, "I believe that young girl will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and safely overcome her tribulation!"
The white-haired old man felt like he was dreaming. Even if the little girl had great abilities, she would never have a chance to survive such terrifying heavenly lightning.
Seeing the earnestness in his friend's eyes, the white-haired old man ultimately remained silent.
He also hoped that the girl would survive in the end.
By the time the seventieth bolt of lightning struck, most of the powerful beings had completely lost their ability to resist. Only Sang Ying gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet.
By the time the eightieth bolt of lightning struck, Sect Master Wu's Dantian had been destroyed, rendering him unable to continue cultivating.
As the heavenly lightning struck the ninetieth strike, the white-haired old man, who had previously given up hope for Sang Ying, stared intently at the female cultivator below, a sudden glimmer of expectation stirring within him.
By the time the heavenly lightning finally struck the ninety-fifth strike, Sang Ying's robes had turned into charred strips of cloth, and her beautiful hair had become like withered grass.
She was covered in her own blood, her entire body black, and the beautiful, icy appearance she once possessed was no longer visible.
But none of the onlookers found it Limitless Sect. Even the disciples of the Wuji Sect who had escaped felt admiration for Sang Ying at that moment.
Another bolt of lightning struck, knocking her back to the ground, causing everyone's hearts to clench in their throats.
Fortunately, she quickly stood up again. No one doubted whether she could successfully overcome the tribulation; in their eyes, Sang Ying already possessed the strength of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
However, after the ninety-ninth lightning strike, the dark clouds in the sky began to surge wildly. The final lightning strike, with its most magnificent momentum and enough power to fill an entire immortal mountain, rushed towards Sang Ying!
