189: Thirty-nine thunder disasters

Silently, a massive Piercing Void Grand Demon appeared in front of Lu Chen, but it seemed to lack any aura fluctuations, as if it didn't exist in this space.

But only Lu Chen knew that this was not just a Grand Demon comparable to a three-tribulation Yang God, but also a Spirit God Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier possessing some Spirit Treasure characteristics. Its strength was far from what ordinary three-tribulation Yang Gods could compare to.

"Piercing Void Clan!" Feng Jie's eyes flickered.

This was a more powerful and troublesome noble Demon Clan than the Flood Dragon Clan. They were born with control over the Void, able to shuttle back and forth within the Void, without a trace.

This clan resembled pangolins, but they had a single horn on their head, and their scales were like colored glaze, and they were unusually large, comparable to mountains.

Lu Chen floated up gracefully, turning and sitting on the back of the Piercing Void Grand Demon. In the next instant, the Piercing Void Grand Demon instantly vanished into nothingness, disappearing out of thin air. It was clear that it had already shuttled within the Void, and was now hundreds of miles away.

"Brother Lu... also has means to control demons?" Feng Jie was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back, looking at Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin, who were also lost in thought.

'Controlling demons?'

'Don't tell me you think that Piercing Void Clan is a real demon controlled by Brother Lu?'

"That is not a real Piercing Void Clan, but a Puppet refined by Brother Lu," Pang Feifeng said faintly, his words full of complexity.

From the first time he saw Lu Chen during the Nanchu Grand Wash, the Red Dragon the latter rode, to the subsequent Mountain Lord, Flood Dragon, and so on, now even the Piercing Void Clan, which could shuttle between the Void and was extremely mysterious and rare, had appeared in Lu Chen's hands.

He couldn't imagine how many trump cards Lu Chen still had hidden on him.

More importantly, he only now knew that Lu Chen's strength was never just his Puppets. He himself was also a top Heavenly Pride, cultivating both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement, especially the Way of Body Refinement, which was about to break into the heavenly Gang divine spirit, comparable to the Realm of a Yang God Great Cultivator.

To be honest, among the younger generation of the entire Southern Countries, Pang Feifeng couldn't think of anyone else who could contend with Lu Chen.

Perhaps, there were some in other parts of the Azure Underworld!

Otherwise, this Lu Chen was too abnormal!

"Puppet!" Feng Jie murmured in a low voice.

Refining a Puppet using the Piercing Void Clan, and not being able to see any trace of it, this kind of method, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't even have guessed in this direction.

'He's really a mysterious guy!'

The Spirit God in his Divine Hall possessed infinite wonders, yet it simply couldn't see through Lu Chen's accompanying Spirit Treasure, nor could it see through everything about him!

But clearly, Lu Chen was within this Divine Hall, yet it was as if he had already transcended the Three Realms, existing above all living beings!

It was profound, exceedingly profound!

One must know that his Divine Hall's 'Heaven's Ear' Spirit God, just by hearing the Great Sword Immortal of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace and the other two mention the names of Qian Changsheng and Gu Qingtian, the 'Heaven's Eye' Spirit God could see through the roots of Qian Changsheng and Gu Qingtian from thousands of miles away, across mountains and rivers.

Unfortunately, no matter how extraordinary the Spirit God in his Divine Hall was, it still couldn't see through the 'Lu Chen' who was right in front of him!

At the same moment, the Great Sword Immortal, Feather Sword Immortal, Thunder Sword Immortal, as well as Marquis Yan and all the other Heavenly Pride of the Southern Countries, almost simultaneously looked up at the sky.

"Thunder tribulation?!" Thunder Sword Immortal frowned.

"Who broke through the Yin Spirit Realm here and is about to enter the ranks of Yang God Great Cultivator?" Feather Sword Immortal murmured.

"It's not a Yin Spirit thunder tribulation, it's the blood and qi divine spirit tribulation of a Body Refinement cultivator. The one undergoing the tribulation is a high-level cultivator of the Body Refinement path," Thunder Sword Immortal, who cultivated the path of thunder, was most sensitive to thunder tribulations.

"Among the Heavenly Pride of the Southern Countries, although there are Body Refinement cultivators, they are few in number. Not a single one has been able to pass the blood and qi divine spirit hurdle and break into the heavenly Gang divine spirit Realm. This person undergoing the tribulation is not among our group," the Great Sword Immortal said lightly.

His cultivation and Dao attainment had reached the peak of the Yin Spirit, but he had not yet fully comprehended the rules, missing a crucial step. Once he fully grasped the rules of the sword, he could take the final step at any time and ascend to the Yang God Realm. His insight was naturally not poor.

"Huh, the thunder tribulation is not coming in our direction!" Thunder Sword Immortal was surprised.

In his perception, the thunder tribulation in the sky was heading in a completely opposite direction to them.

Finally, he looked at the Great Sword Immortal and praised, "Senior apprentice-brother's insight is indeed extraordinary. With just one glance, you can see through that this tribulation was not caused by the Heavenly Pride of our Southern Countries."

If this tribulation had been caused by the Heavenly Pride in their group, even if it was far away at this time, he would definitely be able to sense the tribulation qi locked onto by the thunder tribulation. Unfortunately, there was none.

The Great Sword Immortal waved his hand, "Among the great Sects of the Southern Countries, I and Marquis Yan of the Vermilion Bird Palace are the strongest."

He paused, "Also, Feng Jie of the Source Stream Dao in Xitai Kingdom is quite mysterious, and I can't see through him precisely, but I don't think he is higher than me and Marquis Yan. If anyone here can cross the tribulation and break into the Yang God Realm, it can only be among the three of us. Besides that, there is absolutely no fourth person."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, "Furthermore, thunder tribulations are dangerous. Even if this unknown cultivator has reached the threshold of breaking through, he may not necessarily pass the thunder tribulation safely. He will likely perish under the thunder tribulation."

Feather Sword Immortal and Thunder Sword Immortal both nodded in agreement, "That is indeed the case."

Ordinary cultivators Undergoing Tribulation face a near-certain death.

But if they are Disciples of a top great Sect like the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace, as long as their own cultivation has no problems and their Foundation is solid, with the help of the Sect, the success rate can often reach 30%, or even 40%.

…………

Outside, in the universe starry sky.

Ripples appeared in the Void, and then, the massive, mountain-like Piercing Void Grand Demon stepped out of the nothingness. Lu Chen sat on the back of the Piercing Void Grand Demon. He slowly looked up, only to see that the tribulation clouds were gathering more and more. In the blink of an eye, they had formed a black cloud cover in the Starry Sky, spanning dozens of miles.

However, in this boundless universe starry sky, dozens of miles of tribulation clouds were simply insignificant.

"Nine-layered thunder tribulation."

The standard thunder tribulation for breaking through from the Yin Spirit Realm to the Yang God. That's good.

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The surging blood and qi in his body became even more astonishing, and the blood and qi divine spirit behind him grew even larger, constantly soaring from ten zhang, increasing to twenty zhang, fifty zhang, eighty zhang...

Until the blood and qi divine spirit behind him grew to a hundred zhang, it suddenly condensed and began to transform towards the heavenly Gang divine spirit.

The blood and qi turned into heavenly Gang blood, gradually transforming from dark red to a fiery red like the great sun.

At this moment, the Immortal Embryo in Lu Chen's Jiangong Golden Citadel suddenly trembled. The Mixed Origin Undying Scripture is a method for simultaneously cultivating Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, and Spirit Refinement. As Lu Chen circulated this scripture, not only was his Physical Body's blood and qi surging, but his Dao Embryo was also fluctuating, with seemingly non-existent immortal energy gushing out and merging into the blood and qi divine spirit.

In an instant, his blood and qi transformation became even faster, and the direction of transformation also began to change, from the fiery red like the great sun, completely turning into a brilliant gold.

His Physical Body seemed to be also transforming towards an Immortal Body.

"Boom!"

A tribulation thunder exploded in the tribulation clouds above the sky. Thunder surged and scattered, and the tribulation clouds instantly expanded more than tenfold.

"The nine-layered thunder tribulation has turned into a three-nine thunder tribulation?"

Lu Chen's face immediately darkened.

A nine-layered heavenly tribulation consists of nine tribulation thunders, each stronger than the last, while a three-nine heavenly tribulation consists of twenty-seven tribulation thunders, also with each one stronger than the last. Even a two-tribulation Yang God might not be able to withstand it.

However, it was clear that the thunder tribulation was also influenced by the strength of the person undergoing the tribulation according to the will of heaven and earth. The stronger the person undergoing the tribulation, the stronger their Foundation, the more terrifying the thunder tribulation would become.

Lu Chen's blood and qi were tainted with the immortal energy of the Immortal Embryo, causing his blood and qi and Physical Body to transform towards an Immortal Body. Even his blood and qi had turned golden, completely transcending the mortal body. It was reasonable for the nine-layered thunder tribulation to turn into a three-nine thunder tribulation.

"Three-nine heavenly tribulation, what can you do to me? Come on," He raised his head towards the sky and waved his hand.

Immediately, one Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier after another appeared, all blocking above his head.

If you want to strike me, strike my Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers to death first!
