92: Blind spots of lightning tribulation and "decapitation" operations

"Lightning Tribulation... interferes with the 'spirit net'... a brief 'blind spot'... destroy his core..."

The information transmitted by the Co-frequency Person was like a bolt of lightning flashing through Wen Youyi's mind, instantly illuminating the desperate situation before him!

That's it! The Lightning Tribulation is the might of heaven and earth; it is the test and baptism of the rules of this world for those who are Heaven-Defying.

At the moment the Lightning Tribulation descends, its violent energy will temporarily interfere with or even block the monitoring of the 'spirit net'! This is the 'blind spot'! A window of time to briefly escape the gaze of the 'Above'!

And "destroy his core," the target points directly at Bloody Fierce who is Undergoing Tribulation!

As long as he is killed at his most vulnerable moment, when the 'Above' cannot intervene, it will not only resolve the immediate crisis, but also be a heavy blow to the "System"—a high-quality "livestock" about to be "slaughtered" was taken out by a "virus" (Wen Youyi) during the "quarantine" (Ascension Lightning Tribulation) process!

This plan is extremely risky! To snatch food from the tiger's mouth under the Heavenly Tribulation, a slight carelessness would mean Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. But this is the only chance!

Wen Youyi forced his nearly falling-apart body to stand up, his eyes burning with flames of resolve. Through the "Mind Net," he instantly transmitted this crazy plan to all core members.

[Everyone, listen up! The moment the Lightning Tribulation descends is our only chance! Target: Bloody Fierce! At all costs, interrupt his Undergoing Tribulation and destroy his core!]

Zhao Iron Pillar: [Screw his mother! Count me in!]

Wang Wu: [Understood!]

Senior Brother Li: [Let's go for it!]

Senior Brother Zhang: [All offensive Magical Artifacts of the Research Hall are in position!]

No hesitation, no backing down! Everyone understood that this was a last stand!

In the sky, the tribulation clouds became increasingly thick, with silver snakes dancing wildly; the terrifying Aura made the lower-level Disciple in Lijian Valley almost unable to breathe.

The Blood Fiend Cult members had long since retreated to a distance, watching their Cult Master with nervousness and anticipation.

Bloody Fierce hovered in mid-air, surrounded by blood light, sacrificing several defensive Magical Artifacts, fully focused on preparing to welcome the first bolt of heavenly lightning.

His face was filled with excitement and ferocity; as long as he passed this tribulation, the world would be his!

"Boom crack—!!"

A silver lightning bolt as thick as a child's arm, like a sword of heavenly punishment, tore through the sky, carrying an Aura of destruction, and struck down directly at Bloody Fierce's head!

Now!

At this very moment when the lightning descended, Wen Youyi clearly felt that the "sense of being watched" that had been faintly shrouding heaven and earth—disappeared! It was as if the signal had been forcibly cut off!

The "blind spot" has arrived!

"Do it!"

Wen Youyi roared hoarsely, the last trace of Star Core Power he had prepared, mixed with remaining spiritual energy, transformed into a tiny but incomparably condensed silver thread, not attacking the lightning, but stabbing directly at Bloody Fierce's heart pulse!

This strike did not seek to wound, but only to interfere! At the most critical moment when he was resisting the heavenly lightning, it forced him into a Divided Soul state!

Meanwhile!

Zhao Iron Pillar roared, pouring all his strength into his heavy sword, and threw it fiercely!

The heavy sword turned into a black stream of light, carrying an unstoppable Aura, smashing towards Bloody Fierce's back!

Wang Wu and Senior Brother Li scattered all their offensive Talisman as if they were worthless, with fireballs, ice cones, and Wind Blade converging into a chaotic torrent, covering Bloody Fierce!

Senior Brother Zhang activated the Research Hall's hidden treasure—three strange-looking "Origin-Breaking Crossbows" that resembled large crossbows!

The crossbow bolts were engraved with runes specifically designed to break through energy defenses, and with three shrill whistles, they shot in a 'pin' formation towards Bloody Fierce's Dantian, head, and hands holding the seal!

All of this happened at the same time as the Lightning Tribulation descended!

Bloody Fierce was fully operating his Cultivation Technique, driving his Magical Artifact to resist the heavenly lightning, never expecting that this group of existences, which he viewed as ants, would dare to launch such a resolute attack on him under the might of heaven and earth!

"You are courting death!" Bloody Fierce was both shocked and angry. In his haste, he was distracted, and just as a blood shield condensed, it was smashed by Zhao Iron Pillar's heavy sword, shaking violently!

Wen Youyi's tricky Star Core Power thread ignored his defenses and drilled directly into his body, causing his blood and Qi to churn!

Even more deadly were the three "Origin-Breaking Crossbows" and the sky full of Talisman!

"Puff!" "Crack!"

A crossbow bolt pierced through the hastily condensed blood-colored shield and fiercely stabbed into his shoulder!

Another one was narrowly avoided by his head, flying past his ear and taking away a piece of flesh!

Although the sky full of Talisman was not very powerful, it further interfered with his mind and the operation of his spiritual energy!

And in this split second of distraction, that terrifying silver heavenly lightning had already reached his body!

"No—!!"

Bloody Fierce let out a desperate and unwilling roar; his defense already had a flaw!

He could only desperately direct most of his power to meet the heavenly lightning!

"Boom—!!!"

The lightning struck Bloody Fierce fiercely! The blinding lightning light completely swallowed him! The several defensive Magical Artifacts he had sacrificed exploded one after another in the lightning light! The blood shield instantly dissipated!

The lightning dissipated, and Bloody Fierce was seen charred all over, his Daoist robe torn, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, his Aura withered to the extreme, obviously having been severely injured by the previous strike!

Although he barely withstood the first heavenly lightning bolt, he was already at the end of his tether!

And Wen Youyi and the others, after launching the attack, had also almost exhausted all their strength, and Zhao Iron Pillar was half-kneeling on the ground due to exhaustion from throwing the heavy sword.

"You... all must die!" Bloody Fierce raised his head, his charred face filled with nothing but crazy resentment. He struggled to gather his strength, even if it meant mutual destruction, he wanted to drag these ants who ruined his Dao path down with him!

However, Wen Youyi looked at him and revealed a cold, mocking smile.

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

Bloody Fierce looked up subconsciously.

He saw that in the sky, the tribulation clouds had not dissipated, but were rotating even more violently! The second and third heavenly lightning bolts were brewing, their power far exceeding the first! And he, already severely injured, how could he block them?

What made him Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering even more was that he felt his connection with the "Above" that had bestowed upon him power and Cultivation Technique, under the interference of the Lightning Tribulation, had become extremely weak! He could not call for help, could not get any support!

He had become truly alone, facing this life-taking heavenly might by himself!

"No... it shouldn't be like this..." Bloody Fierce's eyes were filled with fear and despair.

"Boom crack!!!"

The second, thicker lightning bolt, like a roaring silver Dragon, crashed down!

This time, there was no more luck.

In desperate wails, Bloody Fierce's figure was completely swallowed by the lightning, his protective blood light shattered like paper, his charred body disintegrated inch by inch in the lightning light, and finally turned into fly ash, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

The ambitious Blood Fiend Cult Master, who dominated one side, was actually sent to his doom by a group of Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator he regarded as ants, in this unexpected way, during the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Tribulation he had dreamed of!

The lightning light gradually faded, and the tribulation clouds began to slowly dissipate.

Inside and outside Lijian Valley, there was dead silence.

The remaining members of the Blood Fiend Cult watched their Cult Master turn to ashes, scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, let out a shout, and scattered like birds and beasts.

On the Lijian Valley side, everyone sat slumped on the ground as if exhausted, looking at the dissipating tribulation clouds and the wisp of green smoke in the sky, feeling a sense of unreal trance.

We... won?

We took down a Half-step Foundation Establishment, and while the other party was Undergoing Tribulation?

Wen Youyi also sat slumped on the ground, panting heavily, looking at the faces of his companions who had survived the disaster, looking at Lijian Valley, which was broken but still standing, and finally revealed a look of relief on his face.

Although the price was heavy, they won! They joined forces and created a miracle!

However, just as the tribulation clouds completely dissipated and heaven and earth returned to calm—

That familiar, omnipresent "sense of being watched" returned quietly like a tide, shrouding this heaven and earth again.

The smile on Wen Youyi's face stiffened slightly.

The "Observer"... is back.

He raised his head, as if he could penetrate the clouds and see those calm and deep eyes.

He knew that the real test might have just begun.
