358: Ninth Rank—Fang Bai!

Fang Bai's sudden confrontation with the tribulation lightning caught the Demon Lords completely off guard!

The Demon Lord at the very front was directly affected, dying beyond resurrection!

Their expressions filled with extreme dread as they stared at the figure in the sky.

Damn it! How do we kill him? What do we use to kill him?

Just the residual power alone could obliterate them. Making another move would simply be courting death, wouldn't it?

Fang Bai was focused on confronting the tribulation lightning and indeed couldn't spare attention for the Demon Lords, but the area around him had already become a no-man's-land!

Below the Ninth Stage, anyone who dared to approach would die!

At this moment, the two Demon Gods were already held back by Ancestor Pei. Although Ancestor Pei was at a disadvantage, it was still difficult for them to break through his defenses!

Now, no one could stop Fang Bai from breaking through!

The only thing that could kill him was that terrifying tribulation lightning!

However, how could Fang Bai be afraid of that tribulation lightning?

In the first round of collision, Fang Bai's body plummeted from high in the sky, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!

The first round of tribulation lightning possessed the power of the Ninth Stage Early-Phase, which was undoubtedly quite terrifying!

Fortunately, Fang Bai's own foundation was not weak, and his skills also had a suppressive effect on the tribulation lightning!

Rumble!

One strike failed to cause Fang Bai trouble, and the tribulation lightning seemed enraged, accumulating energy again, preparing for the next impact!

A sharp glint flashed in Fang Bai's eyes, and then he actively charged towards the sky!

He took the initiative to attack!

Am I a fool to wait for your ultimate move's wind-up?

The Heavenly Dao seemed not to have expected this human to be so brave, daring to actively attack it. In an instant, the aura of the tribulation lightning surged dramatically!

Crack!

A thick bolt of tribulation lightning fiercely struck down, directly engulfing Fang Bai's figure!

Boom!

A powerful energy instantly swept out, causing the surrounding sea demons' faces to change drastically as they retreated in a frenzy!

This power was too terrifying! Even an Eighth Stage cultivator approaching would be instantly crushed!

Countless gazes stared intently at the lightning. With such terrifying power, that human should be no more, right?

After an unknown amount of time, a black light suddenly bloomed within the lightning! It spread rapidly like a plague, eroding everything!

An aura independent of the tribulation lightning emanated!

It was Fang Bai's aura!

Boom!

As the black energy completely eroded the lightning, a burst of energy exploded, revealing a figure within.

Fang Bai!

At this moment, Fang Bai's aura was even stronger than before!

He actually absorbed the power of the tribulation lightning!

Fang Bai himself possessed the lightning attribute. Although tribulation lightning was terrifying, it was essentially also of the lightning attribute, making it a great opportunity for Fang Bai to greatly replenish himself!

He had only tried it out of curiosity, wondering if he could absorb the power of the tribulation lightning, and unexpectedly, he succeeded!

Although he could only absorb and refine a small portion, for him, this effect was undoubtedly unexpectedly good!

With his foundation further enhanced, Fang Bai's immunity to tribulation lightning also improved to another level!

He looked up at the sky, a smile appearing on his face: "Hehehe! Is it over?"

Rumble!

Responding to him were several bolts of lightning!

Fang Bai's lips curled into a strange arc, and then he actively met them!

As expected, Fang Bai was not defeated; instead, he grew stronger and stronger!

The power of the tribulation lightning was completely useless against him!

As long as he endured it, he would successfully break through!

"Monster..."

In the void, a voice of astonishment rang out.

The others were also silent.

There was more than one gaze hidden in the dark; they were all observing Fang Bai's breakthrough, but what they didn't expect was that his breakthrough was actually so simple!

Damn it! Comparing people only makes one angry!

At this moment, Fang Bai had already endured four waves of tribulation lightning!

And the pressure of the tribulation lightning in the sky was getting weaker and weaker.

Clearly, the tribulation lightning was almost over!

However, before it ended, the tribulation lightning still diligently condensed its final bolt.

Boom!

This time there was only one bolt of tribulation lightning, but its power, compared to the previous ones, was a qualitative leap!

Terrifying power locked onto Fang Bai!

The latter's expression was surprisingly calm. He looked at the tribulation lightning descending from the sky, and a phantom figure suddenly appeared above his body.

"How is that possible?!"

Immediately, a figure condensed behind Fang Bai, and the hidden big shots all lost their composure!

Because the phantom figure behind Fang Bai actually made them feel familiar!

Not only familiar, but also extremely dangerous!

For a moment, all the big shots' gazes locked onto Fang Bai, their expressions grave, curious, surprised... he actually had a connection with that person?

The phantom figure behind Fang Bai was precisely White Emperor.

And when he left, he had left a trace of power within Fang Bai's body to escort his breakthrough.

As the White Emperor's phantom appeared, its lifeless eyes suddenly looked up at the tribulation lightning.

The next second, a bizarre scene occurred!

The tribulation lightning actually froze in mid-air, unable to fall any further!

The Heavenly Dao was wary!

The tribulation lightning was fearful!

Even if it was just a phantom, it made the tribulation lightning extremely terrified!

As the progenitor of the Blue Star Martial Arts Civilization, White Emperor's prestige was still so authoritative!

White Emperor withdrew his gaze, then looked at Fang Bai below.

The latter was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Senior, I'll handle it."

White Emperor looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes indifferent.

Fang Bai softly said, "The power you left in me, while it can allow me to easily break through, is of no benefit to me. Your intervention would only cause cracks in my Dao heart, and perhaps I would never reach the peak again in the future."

Saying that, he looked at the tribulation lightning in the sky again, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth: "Just a mere tribulation lightning, am I afraid of it?!"

As his voice fell, White Emperor suddenly revealed a smile, a smile of relief.

"Well done, young man."

The phantom chuckled lightly, then he spoke again: "Then, good luck, fellow Daoist. We'll meet at the peak."

With that, his figure slowly dissipated.

As his power dissipated, the tribulation lightning was no longer restricted and continued to descend!

Fang Bai took a deep breath, then he showed a confident smile: "If I can't even get past trash like you, how can I become an Emperor?!"

"Hahaha! Bring it on!"

Amidst his laughter, an unprecedentedly powerful force suddenly erupted from Fang Bai's body, and he himself shot upwards like a meteor, fiercely colliding with the tribulation lightning!

At this moment, he relied on himself!

The path arranged by others was not the one he wanted to walk!

Walking his own path was the only way to walk more naturally and firmly!

A magnificent explosion swept across the sky above the island, turning the entire island into dust at this moment!

Even the sea demons who had retreated far away were affected; the weaker ones instantly died on the spot!

Within the lightning explosion, countless auras converged towards one point, and then, an aura of power far exceeding the mundane appeared!

That was the true Ninth Stage aura!

Fang Bai also completed his transformation at this moment!

All the Ninth-Rank Experts' gazes turned towards him.

It was all the Ninth Stages on Blue Star!

A new Ninth Stage was born!
