84: The Thunder Blade Intent is perfected, and the Eye of Tribulation is refined.

Xiao Zhuo stepped out of the small courtyard, his toes lightly touching the ground, and his figure appeared like a teleportation thirty miles away in the wilderness above the sky.

The black-clad youth stood proudly in the Void Realm, looking up at the sky.

The calamity clouds surged like a sea of ink, rolling in!

A terrifying aura of destruction frantically gathered, and at the center of the vortex, a gray-purple calamity eye slowly opened, coldly looking down at the earth.

The power contained in this Lightning Tribulation far exceeded that of the Divine Sea Realm by a hundredfold!

Xiao Zhuo's lips, however, held a hint of a smile, his eyes burning with Battle Intent like fire, completely fearless.

His Purgatory Demonic Body inherited the Heaven-Defying ability of the Heavenly Thunder Quenching Gold Art to devour Lightning Tribulations; Heavenly Tribulations were merely resources for him to temper himself!

He only feared... that this Heavenly Tribulation wasn't strong enough!

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye at the center of his Divine Soul's brows suddenly opened!

Myriad divine runes flowed and perished within his eyes.

Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and concentrated, fully activating the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye to discern the Origin mysteries of the tribulation lightning!

Dense and profound Dao rhythms intertwined and evolved in his Sea of Consciousness, and his comprehension of the Law of Thunder rapidly deepened.

The extremely rigid and masculine, cyclical Thunder Intent contained within the Heavenly Tribulation was gradually peeled away and comprehended by him.

On the panel, the entry “Thunder Intent” suddenly appeared, and the words “First Level” behind it vibrated violently, as if about to Breakthrough its shackles at any moment!

Xiao Zhuo's mind remained calm, oblivious to the panel's anomaly, still fully analyzing the vast Heavenly might.

“Boom crack—!”

The calamity clouds roared, and a purple tribulation lightning bolt, as thick as a palace pillar, struck down ferociously, accurately hitting Xiao Zhuo!

His brand new profound robe instantly vaporized, revealing a body as powerful and sturdy as if cast from divine iron.

The exposed muscles of his back were coiled like a Dragon, and his eight well-defined abdominal muscles rose and fell with his breathing, harboring terrifying power capable of shaking mountains!

Directly facing the lightning pillar's strike, Xiao Zhuo's figure remained motionless!

The moment the violent Lightning Tribulation energy touched his body surface, it was greedily absorbed into his body by the Purgatory Demonic Body, instantly transforming into pure nourishment for his Physical Body!

Within the Yuyang Sect, countless figures soared into the sky, holding their breath and gazing from a safe distance.

“Good heavens! This kid's Physical Body is actually this powerful!” Xuan Lun looked at the figure standing unmoving in the lightning, gasping in a cold breath, “Taking a Heavenly Thunder head-on without a scratch?!”

“Such terrifying tribulation lightning is like a gentle breeze to Junior Martial Nephew Xiao; he truly lives up to his name as the Yuyang Sect's greatest prodigy of all ages!” Situ Ming looked at the calamity clouds that covered the sky and danced with purple lightning, praising him sincerely.

“When did Senior Brother hold Junior Martial Nephew Xiao in such high esteem?” Li Miaoyi's eyes sparkled as she heard this, playfully teasing him with a light laugh.

Situ Ming was instantly speechless.

In Qingyang City, the common people were also startled by the celestial phenomenon, pointing to the churning black sky—ninety-nine percent of the sky was still clear and blue, but only above Xiao Zhuo's head was a scene of doomsday!

The second tribulation lightning bolt fell with a roar, its power doubling!

The result was still the same; it failed to create even a ripple on his body before being completely devoured and refined by the Demonic Body.

Xiao Zhuo remained suspended in the air, eyes closed, completely still.

The trajectory of the tribulation lightning, the Law of energy condensation, and even the mysterious process of the calamity eye nurturing the Heavenly punishment, were all captured and analyzed by the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye without a single omission!

His comprehension of Thunder Intent soared accordingly, instantly breaking through to the Fourth Level!

The Fusion of Saber Intent and Thunder Intent also formed a clear Veins in his mind.

The remaining few bolts of the First Level Purple Heavens Lightning Tribulation fell consecutively, all easily devoured by Xiao Zhuo.

However, his comprehension of Thunder Intent seemed to have encountered a Bottleneck, progressing slowly.

As the First Level Lightning Tribulation ended, the entire sky suddenly glowed with an eerie blue light!

The myriad lightning snakes swirling within the calamity clouds actually collapsed and condensed in an instant!

The sky full of lightning transformed into nine giant lightning spears that pierced through the heavens and earth in a flash!

Blinding electric plasma shot out from the spear tips, illuminating the surrounding hundred miles with a bluish-white glow!

The protective True Qi of the strong cultivators watching from afar flickered and dimmed under the intense light, almost Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class)!

“This is... Lightning Tribulation taking form!” True Man Xuanlun's exclamation was drowned out by the deafening roar of the heavens and earth.

Nine lightning spears, entwined with intricate Law runes, carried the Heavenly Dao's will to annihilate all things, tearing through the sky and piercing down towards Xiao Zhuo's crown!

Xiao Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes!

Myriad lightning patterns exploded in the depths of his pupils; the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye decomposed the lightning spears into countless flickering Law threads, projecting them with extreme clarity into his consciousness!

The dark golden demonic patterns on the surface of the Purgatory Demonic Body suddenly flared brightly, and the pores all over his body opened wide, like the maw of a gluttonous beast, frantically devouring the incoming destructive lightning!

Sizzling blue electric plasma furiously coursed over his skin, making his eight well-defined abdominal muscles appear like imperishable divine gold!

“Not enough!” With a low roar, Xiao Zhuo actually shot up into the sky!

The muscles of his right arm instantly bulged like a coiled Dragon, his five fingers like hooks, firmly grasping the shaft of a lightning spear that had thrust before his eyes!

Violent blue lightning plasma surged madly into his body along his arm!

At the same time, the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye had completely analyzed the Law of this lightning spear's manifestation!

On the panel, the “Thunder Intent” entry vibrated violently!

The shackles of Fourth Level Peak shattered in response!

The various divine weapons formed by the Second Level Lightning Tribulation struck one after another, still feeling like mere scratches to Xiao Zhuo.

He repeated the process, either enduring them head-on or seizing them, devouring and refining them all!

The Third Level Scarlet Heavens Divine Thunder, a mix of red and white, and the Fourth Level black and red Divine Thunder containing the power of destruction... struck down consecutively!

The Destructive Divine Thunder finally left scorch marks on his body, but they only lasted for a breath before vanishing without a trace, and the powerful destructive force was also completely devoured by the Demonic Body!

The Fifth Level Lightning Tribulation descended!

The calamity clouds had transformed into a boiling, dark golden ocean!

Nine ferocious-looking, horned Thunder Divine Beasts stood on the clouds; they were all manifestations of the Heavenly Dao's Law, exuding a fierce power capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Situ Ming's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice dry: “The Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Tribulation should be a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation; this is only the Fifth Level, how can Law Divine Beasts appear?!”

Xiao Zhuo looked up at the nine resplendent Thunder Divine Beasts, his eyes bursting with wild joy!

The energy contained in each Divine Beast far exceeded the total of the Fourth Level Destructive Divine Thunder!

“Good timing!” His laughter shook the thunderclouds, causing them to surge!

His figure flickered, transforming into a black lightning bolt, and he fiercely charged into the Peak of the calamity clouds, actively confronting the nine Thunder Divine Beasts!

As soon as his figure arrived, a thousand-zhang Thunder Dragon swung its huge tail, sweeping across with the might to tear space!

Xiao Zhuo's arm muscles bulged, and he actually held the giant tail, covered in lightning scales, firmly in his embrace!

Then, he exerted force from his waist, let out a furious roar, and actually used the entire Thunder Dragon as a giant whip, savagely swinging it to smash against the other Thunder Beasts that were pouncing on him!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Above the cloud Peak, lightning flashed violently, and beast roars shook the heavens!

Countless shattered lightning bolts scattered and splashed, only to be pulled and absorbed by the devouring force around Xiao Zhuo's body!

Under the siege of the nine Divine Beasts, Xiao Zhuo's figure was faster than lightning!

Relying on the Purgatory Demonic Body's absolute suppression of lightning, he fought without defense, engaging in battle with the wildest posture!

Eight-fold Saber Intent, imbued with nascent Thunder Dao rhythm, brought forth lightning ripples that tore through the Void Realm with every slash!

The moment the Thunder Beasts shattered, the vast Lightning Tribulation power that escaped transformed into countless fine threads, greedily absorbed into Xiao Zhuo's body through his pores!

In just a few dozen breaths, all nine Thunder Divine Beasts, with their monstrous power, were annihilated by him at the cloud Peak!

When the last Thunder Dragon wailed and dispersed—

Thunder Intent had already climbed to the Ninth Level Peak!

Saber Intent also broke through to the Ninth Level!

The Sixth Level Lightning Tribulation descended amidst a strange, deathly silence in heaven and earth!

In the depths of the pitch-black calamity clouds, nine stars, each a thousand zhang in diameter, slowly emerged!

The surface of the star bodies was covered in viscous liquid lightning plasma, and the aura of destruction distorted even the Void Realm!

The trajectory of the falling stars was infinitely slowed down under the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye's perception.

Thunder Intent finally climbed to the unprecedented Ninth Level Great Perfection!

Divine runes surged within the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye at the center of his Divine Soul's brows, and two wisps of faint golden divine blood suddenly seeped out!

As the divine blood flowed, the last trace of an incomparably profound Heavenly Dao rhythm was deeply etched into the depths of Xiao Zhuo's Saber Intent Origin!

“Combine!!!”

Saber Intent and Thunder Intent both reached Perfection!

A certain natural enlightenment was like a sudden awakening!

The violent lightning and sharp Saber Intent perfectly fused—Thunder Saber Intent, achieved!

In Xiao Zhuo's hand, a gigantic long saber, entwined with blazing golden lightning, suddenly condensed!

The blade body expanded rapidly with the wind, instantly growing to a thousand zhang!

Then, he swept his arm horizontally!

With one strike of the saber, heaven and earth lost their color!

The entire world seemed to be left with only this single golden lightning saber light that spanned the sky!

Time and space fell into a momentary stagnation!

Under the gaze of countless astonished eyes, the nine lightning meteorites, carrying world-ending power, were sliced through the middle by the golden saber light, exploding with a roar!

They transformed into a sky-filling golden lightning waterfall that surged down towards Xiao Zhuo!

However, Xiao Zhuo's figure did not stop!

He stepped on the Void Realm, crossing space in a single stride, and actually appeared directly before the ten-zhang tall, gray-purple calamity eye!

His hand seals changed like phantoms, and vast Divine Thought surged out wildly!

“Taishi Space, suppress!”

A peculiar space, formless and intangible, yet seemingly containing the secrets of the Universe's genesis, suddenly unfolded around the calamity eye!

A perfect crystalline barrier/boundary, composed of thirty-six transparent crystal walls, appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the entire calamity eye!

Before the calamity eye, which contained the Heavenly Dao's will, could dissipate, the Taishi Space suddenly contracted to the size of a mustard seed, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into Xiao Zhuo's brows!

Also disappearing was the calamity eye that spanned the sky, symbolizing Heavenly punishment!

The clouds dispersed, the lightning cleared, and heaven and earth regained their light.

Xiao Zhuo stood in the air, his eyes tightly closed.

Tiny electrical sparks, not yet fully dissipated, still flickered and jumped among his hair, and profound lightning patterns flowed ceaselessly like living things on his bronzed skin.

Just as the calamity eye was enveloped by the Taishi Space, an indescribable tremor surged within his heart—it was an extreme craving, originating from the depths of his Soul, for the Origin of this Eye of Heavenly Punishment!

Thus, he took it away without hesitation.

However, the moment that calamity eye was drawn into his Sea of Consciousness—

An anomaly suddenly occurred!
