Thunder Tribulation

"This demonic core is so precious; you should take it back."

The Nine-Headed Lion suddenly raised his hand and stuffed the demonic core Xiao Feng had just given him back into Xiao Feng's hand.

The Nine-Headed Lion could tell from Xiao Feng's expression that Xiao Feng had not known the situation regarding this demonic core beforehand.

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised, but he shook his head and pushed the Nine-Headed Lion's hand back.

"This thing is useless to me. Rather than letting it go to waste with me, it's better to give it to the Lion King, which can help you achieve a Breakthrough sooner."

He hadn't known its value before, but even now that he did, it didn't stop Xiao Feng from doing the Nine-Headed Lion a favor.

"Brother Xiao Feng, I won't speak of great gratitude. I will refine this demonic core tonight. Once I successfully achieve a Breakthrough, I will go with you to deal with the Devouring Sky Python!"

Xiao Feng hadn't expected such an unexpected joy, so he didn't stand on ceremony and nodded to agree.

After the Nine-Headed Lion left, Zhao Yuwei asked Xiao Feng worriedly, "When he attempts a Breakthrough, I'm afraid the other big demons won't just sit by and watch. If other big demons come to cause trouble, do you intend to shoulder it alone?"

Zhao Yuwei wanted to help Xiao Feng, but her cultivation level was not high, and she was afraid she would be powerless in such a matter.

"If he can successfully achieve a Breakthrough, it will also be beneficial for us. Perhaps we can use his help to leave the Yao Race as soon as possible." Xiao Feng soothed Zhao Yuwei's anxious mood.

Perhaps because they were currently in the Yao Race's base camp, they were too far from the Human Race's territory.

Even using the communication jade pendant, there was no way to contact the other companions, and Xiao Feng didn't know how Dragon Bone and the others were doing now.

Seeing Xiao Feng's confident appearance, Zhao Yuwei opened her mouth but ultimately didn't say anything else.

That night, the two did not rest, and they could feel wave after wave of obscure fluctuations coming from the Nine-Headed Lion's cave.

"With the Lion King's Breakthrough, he will be the most powerful among all the big demons we have seen so far. As long as he can successfully complete his Undergoing Tribulation, in the future within the Yao Race, even if we can't walk sideways, no big demon will dare to easily cause us trouble."

Xiao Feng felt the fluctuations of the aura outside and said to Zhao Yuwei.

"Are you that confident in him?" Zhao Yuwei asked, puzzled.

"Although he has his own little schemes, he is not bad as a demon. I believe he won't do anything that would backfire on himself."

Xiao Feng had the System with him.

If the Nine-Headed Lion really did something treacherous, Xiao Feng naturally had a way to make his Realm drop back, and he would never be able to achieve a Breakthrough again.

The Nine-Headed Lion took two days and two nights to refine the power within the demonic core. The huge fluctuations caused during this period also made other big demons look on.

Two days later, when the Nine-Headed Lion came out of seclusion, layers of thunderclouds had already accumulated over the entire Lion Demon Clan territory.

The Nine-Headed Lion was going to undergo his Undergoing Tribulation!

As soon as this news spread, the entire Yao Race was shocked.

You must know that these big demons were all putting in their best effort, scrambling to be the first to undergo the Undergoing Tribulation, wanting to get ahead of other big demons.

Who would have thought that it would be the usually low-key Nine-Headed Lion who reached this Realm first!

Although the Nine-Headed Lion didn't have great ambition, he also wanted to sit in the position of leading the other big demons.

The other big demons were naturally unhappy about a leader suddenly appearing above them and were secretly preparing to make small moves to sabotage the Nine-Headed Lion's Undergoing Tribulation this time.

The thunderclouds were gathering; this commotion could not be hidden at all.

Fortunately, it would take some time for the heavenly thunder to brew. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Nine-Headed Lion quickly arranged everything within the Lion Demon Clan.

After the Nine-Headed Lion realized he might undergo the Undergoing Tribulation, he immediately went to a relatively special place in the territory.

He dared not go too far from his territory, as he knew the character of the few big demons nearby.

With Xiao Feng there, he could at least help escort and protect him.

If he were to achieve a Breakthrough alone, the big demons in the surroundings would definitely spare no effort to sabotage his Undergoing Tribulation this time.

However, the Nine-Headed Lion was a bit worried that his heavenly thunder this time would affect the Lion Demons in the tribe.

"Rest assured, Lion King. The terrain here is special. If you undergo the Undergoing Tribulation here, there is a high probability that the heavenly thunder will be concentrated only on you, the Lion King, and will not affect other Lion Demons."

Xiao Feng checked the place the Nine-Headed Lion had chosen for the Undergoing Tribulation and spoke to guarantee it to the Nine-Headed Lion.

The Nine-Headed Lion did not know if he would succeed in his Undergoing Tribulation this time.

He had not completely refined the demonic core Xiao Feng gave him, leaving a small portion that could be used to replenish the Demonic Power consumed during the Undergoing Tribulation.

At this moment, looking at the flickering thunderclouds, the heavenly thunder was about to descend.

The Nine-Headed Lion suddenly spoke to Xiao Feng: "If I fail in this Undergoing Tribulation, may I beg you to try your best to leave behind a Bloodline for our Lion Demon Clan? My son, Ba Zhou, please sign a contract with him, would you?"

Xiao Feng did not agree to the Nine-Headed Lion but spoke directly: "Lion King, do not say such things. Your Undergoing Tribulation this time will naturally succeed."

"The big demons in the surroundings are all eyeing this place like tigers watching their prey. If the Lion King does not succeed, relying only on me and my Senior Sister, we will absolutely not be able to protect the Lion Demon Clan!"

The Nine-Headed Lion looked at Xiao Feng, whose eyes were firm.

The Nine-Headed Lion didn't say anything more and his gaze fell on Ba Zhou, who was not far away.

Ba Zhou had previously disliked Xiao Feng, but ever since Xiao Feng settled down in the Lion Demon Clan, Ba Zhou had gradually started to awkwardly express his liking for Xiao Feng.

However, Ba Zhou liked Zhao Yuwei the most.

At this moment, Ba Zhou was standing not far away with eyes full of worry, looking at the Nine-Headed Lion.

The Nine-Headed Lion's eyes were also filled with deep paternal love.

"The heavenly thunder is coming."

Feeling that aura of destruction, Xiao Feng looked up.

A streak of dark blue heavenly thunder struck directly towards the Nine-Headed Lion.

Xiao Feng quickly set up the Formation he had prepared in advance to block the remaining power of the heavenly thunder, and then led the other demons of the Lion Demon Clan to retreat.

"Heavenly thunder is merciless. Even if you are worried about your Lion King, do not approach easily; just stand here."

Fearing that some Lion Demons who worshipped the Lion King might act impulsively, Xiao Feng specifically exhorted them.

The Lion Demons stood anxiously not far away, watching their Lion King roaring and resisting under the heavenly thunder, and asked Xiao Feng with some worry: "Can the Lion King successfully withstand this heavenly thunder?"

Xiao Feng could not say too definitely.

After all, Undergoing Tribulation was very dangerous.

Even the once arrogant Nine-Headed Lion could not fully guarantee that he could successfully pass this Undergoing Tribulation.

Just as Xiao Feng wanted to speak conservatively, he saw Zhao Yuwei holding the very worried Ba Zhou (in his original form) in her arms.

Ba Zhou was still a cub, about the size of a ten-plus-catty big cat.

After Zhao Yuwei picked him up, Ba Zhou lay on Zhao Yuwei's shoulder and asked worriedly: "Sister Yuwei, can Father successfully undergo the Undergoing Tribulation?"
