250: The Terrifying Third Son

Xiao Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then once again activated the Universe God Step, his speed suddenly increasing!

A silver line instantly pierced through a hundred miles of boundary realm, directly striking towards the core of the battlefield, which was filled with calamity Qi.

He, Xiao Zhuo, had reached the Quasi-Immortal Peak. Although he had not yet deduced a Cultivation Technique exclusive to the The Way of Freedom, with the Heaven-Grade Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture, the path to True Immortal had already been paved.

What’s more, he possessed the Thunder Dao Body, naturally attuned to the Law of Thunder.

Heavenly Tribulation, even the tribulation of ascending to Immortality, as long as its essence remained a Lightning Tribulation, he had nothing to fear!

The person Undergoing Tribulation in the battlefield was definitely not from the Blood Demon Realm; this was undoubtedly an enemy's scheme.

He had to intervene.

He was well aware of Xue Qin's situation; the opponent's move was, in all likelihood, aimed at him, her convenient Revered Master!

A distance of ten thousand miles was covered in an instant.

As soon as Xiao Zhuo approached, he saw the first Chaos Lightning Tribulation about to descend with a roar.

He had never seen the figure Undergoing Tribulation, but the outline of the majestic war city beneath him was all too familiar!

In an instant, he understood the opponent's plot.

At the same time, hundreds of miles away, Xue Qin's aura suddenly appeared, clearly forced out of the war city by this tribulation of ascending to Immortality.

A playful smile curved Xiao Zhuo's lips; he could even imagine his cold and beautiful Revered Master's ashen face at this moment.

However, he did not hesitate for a second. His figure was like lightning, boldly rushing into the area covered by the tribulation of ascending to Immortality!

At this moment, the entire boundary realm battlefield's fighting had stalled due to this shocking turn of events.

Countless Cultivators stared in shock at the gray-robed figure above the war city, who exuded a majestic pressure.

This person was actually drawing the tribulation of ascending to Immortality above the war city!

The calamity Qi instantly covered the entire Blood Slaughter War City.

Even though Xue Qin and over a hundred high-level Cultivators had retreated in time, tens of thousands of Cultivators still remained in the city.

This act was tantamount to doubling the power of the Immortal Tribulation; even a figure like Immortal Master Tian Luo would likely fail the tribulation and perish!

Which Prodigy, capable of touching the threshold of a True Immortal, possessed such audacity? It was no wonder that even someone as arrogant as Xue Qin could only curse 'lunatic' in her heart, rather than pure anger.

Just as everyone's minds were greatly shaken, an even more terrifying scene unfolded!

A blood-robed figure, treading on silver light, plunged headfirst into the calamity Qi Domain, full of destructive aura, under the watchful eyes of all!

Immediately after, a terrifying aura, several times stronger than Immortal Master Tian Luo's, erupted with a roar!

Even the Chaos Lightning Tribulation that was about to strike paused!

The tribulation clouds churned and surged wildly, and an even more immense power began to gather rapidly. The calamity eye of the tribulation of ascending to Immortality had already determined that the previously accumulated power was far from enough to obliterate these two Heaven-Defying beings who dared to ascend to Immortality!

Cultivators contend with Heaven for their lives.

The stronger the Cultivator, the greater the authority of the Heavenly Dao they steal, and the Heavenly Tribulation is the Heavenly Dao's merciless punishment to obstruct their path.

Although the Heavenly Dao is merciless, it leaves a glimmer of hope; there are always some top powerhouses who can Undergoing Tribulation and transcend.

But this scene... the power of the tribulation clouds was still rising wildly, practically turning into a dead end with no chance of survival!

Immortal Master Tian Luo's face had already turned as black as a pot bottom upon seeing this.

He stared intently at the young man with a smile on his lips, his voice cold and piercing: "Fellow Daoist has great courage! But by breaking in now, I'm afraid you'll have to die with me!"

Xiao Zhuo glanced at this gray-robed Dao Yi Sect Cultivator, unconcerned: "No matter, Fellow Daoist just take care of yourself."

He had no intention of killing this person at the moment.

If Tian Luo died before the Heavenly Tribulation began, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would inevitably plummet.

Xiao Zhuo's purpose in coming here was not merely to relieve the siege of the war city.

Devouring this tribulation of ascending to Immortality was his true goal!

This was his tradition for tempering his Physical Body throughout his journey; such a high-level "pulling others into Undergoing Tribulation" opportunity was rare in a thousand years!

Immortal Master Tian Luo naturally saw Xiao Zhuo's unfathomable depth.

Fighting him under the Immortal Tribulation was tantamount to seeking death; once they engaged, he feared he wouldn't even last through the first three rounds of Heavenly Tribulation.

Although he took risks, he wasn't truly seeking death; he had merely calculated that the Devil Head of the Blood Demon Realm wouldn't perish with him, but he hadn't expected an anomaly like Xiao Zhuo to appear!

Xiao Zhuo no longer paid attention to Tian Luo; his Divine Sense had already sent a message to the Cultivators controlling the war city below, ordering them to escape the Immortal Tribulation's range at full speed, as he would restrain Tian Luo.

The war city had already tried to escape, but Tian Luo followed it closely like a maggot on a bone.

He did not attack the barrier/boundary, only ensuring that the war city remained covered by the tribulation clouds.

Now that Xiao Zhuo had entered the fray to restrain Tian Luo, the war city Cultivators felt as if they had been granted a great pardon and immediately urged the giant city to retreat at full speed.

Immortal Master Tian Luo noticed the movement and was about to act when a terrifying pressure that sent shivers down his spine descended like a collapsing sky!

He looked sideways, and Xiao Zhuo's face wore a half-smile: "Fellow Daoist, just behave and 'enjoy' this Immortal Tribulation with me!"

Immortal Master Tian Luo's heart trembled violently, and he dared not make any further moves, only watching helplessly as the Blood Slaughter War City slowly moved out of the destructive tribulation clouds, inch by inch.

At this moment, the tribulation clouds above their heads were as black as ink, so thick they couldn't be dispersed.

Chaos brilliance flickered intensely within, each flash releasing a suffocating aura of destruction.

The calamity eye was still greedily absorbing Chaos energy from the boundary realm, and the power of the tribulation clouds was already more than five times what it was before Xiao Zhuo's intrusion, and it was still rising!

Despair surged through Immortal Master Tian Luo's heart like a tide, and a panic he hadn't felt in tens of thousands of years seized him.

He stared fixedly at Xiao Zhuo: "Fellow Daoist! You... who exactly are you?!"

Xiao Zhuo was in a good mood at the moment, after all, this person had given him the opportunity to elevate his Thunder Dao Body, so he replied: "I am Xue Hai, the Third Holy Son of the Blood Palace."

"You are Xue Hai?!" Immortal Master Tian Luo's pupils constricted violently, clearly having heard the name, "You are even stronger than Xue Qin?!"

Xiao Zhuo, however, did not answer further, his gaze fixed on the churning sky, and he said calmly: "Fellow Daoist, take care of yourself—it's coming!"

"Boom—Crack!!!"

The first layer of Chaos Lightning Tribulation finally descended!

Not one, but nine! Nine twisted, surging Chaos Lightning Dragons, seemingly forged from the Origin of countless Shattered Realm, carrying a terrifying will to obliterate all things and return to nothingness, tore through the Void Realm and struck directly at the two individuals at the center of the tribulation clouds!

Immortal Master Tian Luo's face was as solemn as iron; he had already sacrificed his Lifebound Treasure—an ancient Bagua Dao Plate suspended above his head.

He formed hand seals, and brilliant star runes instantly lit up around him, layer upon layer of starlight barriers heavily protecting him.

Tens of thousands of years of accumulated vast Immortal power surged out without reservation, attempting to directly confront this opening tribulation lightning, which far exceeded expectations!

"Pfft!" The first Chaos Lightning Dragon slammed heavily into the starlight barrier! The barrier vibrated violently, its light instantly dimming by more than half.

Immortal Master Tian Luo trembled all over, a trickle of dazzling fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

This power was more than ten times stronger than what he had anticipated when Undergoing Tribulation alone!

However, beside him, Xiao Zhuo's reaction was a world apart!

Facing the roaring Chaos Lightning Dragon, Xiao Zhuo's eyes showed no fear; instead, they burned with a fervent excitement!

He hadn't even sacrificed any defensive Magic Treasure!

"Excellent!" Xiao Zhuo let out a low cry, not retreating but advancing, opening his arms wide towards the thickest Chaos Lightning Dragon!

Thunder Dao Body Origin—activated! His entire skin instantly turned a deep purplish-gold, countless fine lightning patterns emerged, and his whole being seemed to transform into an ancient divine iron that attracted lightning!

Devouring Divine Body—activated! An invisible, intangible, terrifying suction force, as if capable of swallowing Heaven and Earth, erupted from within him, forming a miniature, rapidly rotating Chaos vortex in front of his chest!

The Chaos Lightning Dragon, which was powerful enough to instantly severely injure or even kill an ordinary Mahayana Peak, did not unleash a world-destroying impact the moment it touched Xiao Zhuo's body!

Over seventy percent of the violent energy, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, was frantically devoured and absorbed by the Chaos vortex!

"Sizzle—Buzz!!!"

Xiao Zhuo's body suddenly shook, and the lightning around him exploded!

The purplish-gold lightning patterns became even deeper and more dazzling, as if infused with infinite vitality.

He even let out an extremely comfortable hum, like one who had long thirsted finally encountering sweet rain!

The residual lightning power transformed into tiny electric arcs that danced on his Quasi-Immortal Peak-level divine and demonic Physical Body, yet failed to leave even a trace of scorch mark.

Immortal Master Tian Luo glanced over, stunned speechless. With his mind compromised, he was almost hit by the second lightning dragon, barely managing to block it with his Dao Plate, his heart already churning with monstrous waves: "Devouring... the tribulation lightning of ascending to Immortality?! What kind of monster is this Xue Hai?!"

The second and third layers of tribulation lightning followed one after another!

The tribulation clouds churned like a boiling sea of ink, and the descending Chaos lightning became thicker and more concentrated, containing even clearer and more terrifying destructive Dao Principle. Each layer, with its nine lightning bolts, had its power stacked!

Immortal Master Tian Luo used all his means; his Lifebound Dao Plate flickered erratically, his protective Magic Treasures shattered one after another, blood continuously spilled from his mouth, his aura rapidly weakened like a candle in the wind, and only endless despair remained in his eyes.

This was no longer Undergoing Tribulation, but merely clinging to life under the crushing might of Heaven.

Xiao Zhuo's presence had pushed this Heavenly Tribulation into a truly desperate abyss!

In contrast, Xiao Zhuo grew stronger with each battle!

He stood on the Void Realm, bathed in violent lightning, like a deity descended to wield thunder!

He was no longer content with passive absorption but actively met the descending tribulation lightning!

The Dao Principle of Freedom manifested! An invisible Dao charm permeated the air, and he seemed to transform into the Dominator of the Law of Thunder in this world!

With a slight thought, the violent and chaotic Chaos Lightning Tribulation, as it approached him, strangely became a little docile.

The destructive lightning power contained within was forcibly analyzed and transformed, refined and absorbed by his Devouring Divine Body with higher efficiency!

The immense tribulation lightning energy was guided, frantically tempering his Physical Body, soul infant, and the already perfected middle-thousand Law of Thunder!

His aura, in this destructive lightning baptism, not only did not weaken but became even more condensed and profound, steadily approaching an unspeakable boundary!

After the third layer of Lightning Tribulation, Immortal Master Tian Luo was at the end of his rope; his gray robe was tattered and ragged, his hair scorched black and curly, and his aura was extremely weak.

Immediately after, the fourth layer of tribulation lightning—descended!

This layer not only contained stronger Chaos destructive power but also included Heart Demon lightning, silent and directly striking the Dao Heart!

Nine Chaos Lightning Dragons, entwined with eerie black Qi, carrying a malicious power that confused the Divine Soul and incited Heart Demons, roared as they tore through the sky and slammed down!

"No—!!!" Immortal Master Tian Luo let out a mournful, desperate scream.

The Heart Demon Lightning Tribulation instantly ignited the deepest fears and regrets within him.

The survival of the Dao Yi Realm, the earnest expectations of his Senior Brother, True Man Tian Xing, his ten-thousand-year obsession with being unable to Breakthrough to True Immortal... instantly transformed into countless hideous and terrifying illusions, frantically assaulting and devouring his Divine Soul!

His already crumbling defenses completely collapsed at this moment!
