"Damn woman... Hun Changqing! Ah!"
Gu Xun'er roared, filled with boundless rage and killing intent. Her voice echoed throughout the entire pavilion, and flames carrying scorching heat rose with her roar, scorching the entire pavilion. The air crackled and popped as the terrifying flames burned. Gu Xun'er's Dou Qi
surged, flames erupted, instantly burning the bedroom, which she found incredibly glaring, to ashes. Then, she leaped into the air and slammed her palm down on the pavilion. With a deafening roar, the pavilion turned to ashes.
Then, Gu Xun'er abruptly looked up, staring at the battlefield in the sky. Her eyes flashed with bloodlust, filled only with endless madness and killing intent, devoid of any clarity.
Just as Gu Xun'er's Dou Qi surged, about to rush into the battlefield, a crisp sound of something shattering suddenly came from the sky.
As the crisp sound subsided, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) went completely out of control, like wild horses unleashed, rushing madly towards a certain point in the sky with a violent roar.
Centered on that point, this heaven and earth energy formed an enormous energy vortex, unleashing a terrifying suction force that frantically pulled in any matter containing energy.
Intense energy fluctuations emanated from the center of the vortex, forming energy waves that swept across the entire area. Even Gu Xun'er, below the battlefield, was affected. Her powerful physique was impacted by the energy waves, causing her blood to churn and a metallic taste to rise in her throat. Although she raised her arms to defend herself, she was still thrown hundreds of meters away, her robes fluttering wildly.
The sky grew even darker, thick with dark clouds, and muffled thunder rumbled faintly from within the clouds, as if something forbidden by heaven and earth was about to be obliterated by tribulation lightning.
Gu Ming and Yao Chen's pupils dilated and contracted violently. They hadn't expected that Hun Changqing's breakthrough to Dou Zun would cause such a celestial phenomenon, summoning a tribulation of lightning. Tribulations of lightning were usually only seen when demonic beasts transformed or when high-grade, heaven-defying pills were produced. The fact that a human cultivator would encounter such a tribulation was utterly baffling.
This phenomenon was caused by Hun Changqing's Taiyin True Body breakthrough. His breakthrough to Dou Zun had been incredibly difficult; he had tried several times before without success. If it weren't for the immense pressure from Gu Ming, it might have taken him even longer to break through.
Previously, Hun Changqing's Taiyin True Body hadn't displayed any extraordinary power because he was too weak to withstand its power, leading to its self-sealing.
Now that he had broken through to Dou Zun, the Taiyin True Body was beginning to unlock, about to reveal only the tip of the iceberg. And this mere tip of the iceberg had already caused a tribulation of lightning, demonstrating the terrifying power of the Taiyin True Body.
Thunder rumbled and churned within the dark clouds, flashes of brilliant color occasionally escaping the darkness, as if brewing terrifying power. Once the energy was fully gathered, a devastating attack would descend.
At this moment, Hun Changqing's eyes were closed, his face devoid of its previous ferocity, replaced by a serene expression. He sat cross-legged, exuding no aura whatsoever. Though he was there, visible yet unseen, he gave off an unreal, ethereal feeling, as if he didn't exist at all.
Medusa, having already sprung from Hun Changqing's wrist when the thunderclouds appeared, transformed back into human form. Having also survived her tribulation, she knew she couldn't get too close to the one undergoing tribulation, otherwise the tribulation would intensify, and she would not only fail to help Hun Changqing but would actually harm him!
"Boom!" With a deafening roar of thunder, the energy that had gathered in the sky instantly unleashed a dazzling bolt of lightning. The moment the sound rang out, the lightning, carrying terrifying energy that sent chills down one's spine, descended upon Hun Changqing.
Even Medusa was startled by the sheer power of the lightning; a single glance at it sent shivers down her spine, and her eyes stung. She was filled with immense worry for Hun Changqing, her heart pounding with anxiety. Yao Chen, standing beside her, also wore a solemn expression, but the two could only silently pray for Hun Changqing, unable to interfere with his tribulation.
At that moment, Hun Changqing, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A strange light flickered in his dark, deep eyes. He gently raised his hand, opening his palm, and aimed it at the dazzling bolt of lightning descending upon him.
This simple movement felt perfectly coordinated, as if in harmony with the natural world, so perfectly natural.
As Hun Changqing gently clenched his fist over the oncoming lightning, shimmering silver Taiyin True Qi suddenly surged forth from all directions. The temperature of the world plummeted to an extremely terrifying level with the appearance of the Taiyin True Qi, yet strangely, not a single frost or snow condensed.
The vast Taiyin True Qi enveloped the lightning the instant it appeared, and then the two energies collided, unleashing a dazzling light. When the light dissipated, the lightning had completely vanished, clearly having been eroded away by the Taiyin True Qi.
With the disappearance of this lightning, the world seemed enraged by Hun Changqing's action. A dazzling brilliance erupted once more from the dark clouds, followed by several thunderclaps, and five bolts of lightning of different colors struck simultaneously, descending upon Hun Changqing.
"Hehehe..."
Hun Changqing looked at the terrifying lightning and chuckled eerily, his laughter carrying a chilling undertone. Instantly, the temperature, already low due to the Taiyin True Qi, dropped even further.
Then, he stretched out his hands, palms open, and two jet-black vortexes of Weak Water appeared in his palms. The vortexes emanated a terrifying suction force. Hun Changqing pressed the vortexes against the oncoming lightning. The
black vortexes drew the lightning bolts to their center, where the two energies collided and clashed, producing a violent hissing sound.
The vortexes, drawing in the lightning, used the decomposing properties of the Weak Water to frantically break down and transform the terrifying energy contained within the lightning into strands of pure Taiyin True Qi, which flowed from Hun Changqing's palms into his body.
