312: Breakthroughs one after another!

Could this be some kind of Medicinal Pill that controls people? Once consumed, it would be equivalent to planting a mark inside one's body, and from then on, one's life and death would no longer be under one's own control.

The thought of such consequences was terrifying!

It was perfectly normal for them to think this way, as in daily life, many people had used such methods to control others.

"Master! Since we have chosen to submit, we will certainly be loyal and devoted; we will never betray you in this life!"

One person knelt on the ground first and shouted at Lu Hao, hoping that by doing so, Lu Hao would not force them to consume the Medicinal Pill.

The others quickly reacted and began to kneel to express their loyalty. There was no help for it; no one wanted their life to be held in someone else's hands...

Seeing this, Lu Hao knew what they were worried about and sighed. Did he look like such an unreasonable person?

He had never worried about anyone betraying him. After all, Cultivators were all pursuing more powerful cultivation and better cultivation environments. Who else could provide what he offered them?

"Everyone, you have misunderstood. This is the town-Sect Medicinal Pill of my Qingxuan Sect, used to help with cultivation Breakthroughs. As for its effects, you will know once you consume it yourselves."

"Ah? This is... a Medicinal Pill to help with Breakthroughs? Is it real or fake?"

"I have been stuck at the Yang Solid Second Layer for two thousand years and have yet to make any progress. Could this tiny Medicinal Pill really help me achieve a Breakthrough?"

"That's right. Regardless of anything else, this sounds truly too fantastical."

Some people began to hesitate, but one Elder accepted the Medicinal Pill with half-belief and consumed it immediately.

This person was the Grand Elder. Previously, when he attacked Lu Hao, Lu Hao had not harbored any killing intent and had spared his life. He believed that if Lu Hao wanted to harm him, he probably wouldn't need to go through such trouble.

Moreover, he figured that since he couldn't resist anyway, he might as well be straightforward and just obey orders.

As the Medicinal Pill entered his body, the Grand Elder's eyes, which had been calm, instantly surged with changes like stormy waves!

"This... this!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Grand Elder sat down cross-legged, ignoring everyone around him, and began to enter a state of cultivation.

Inside his body, the Medicinal Pill directly transformed into an incomparably pure and vast power of cultivation, and under the gaze of his consciousness, it continuously dissolved the shackles inside his body that were as solid as ten-thousand-year-old ice!

Soon, the shackles of the Breakthrough disappeared!

The Aura on the Grand Elder's body surged violently, and he actually broke through directly to the Yang Solid Seventh Layer!

At the same time, dark clouds filled the sky and began to condense rapidly, and waves of oppressive Aura began to continuously gather within the tribulation clouds.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha! I have cultivated bitterly for thousands of years, and today I have finally achieved a Breakthrough! Ahhhhh!"

The Grand Elder let out a strange cry, then rose from the ground and bowed to Lu Hao with sincere admiration:

"This old man, Dragon Zimo, thanks Master!"

"Hahaha, you are welcome; it was just a small effort."

The remaining Elders, as well as Lü Chengtian and Wuji Daoist, were so shocked by this scene that they were speechless. They immediately stopped hesitating, grabbed the Medicinal Pills in front of them, and consumed them directly!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The next instant, everyone who had consumed the Medicinal Pill emitted a monstrous Aura from their entire bodies, shooting straight into the clouds. Among them, the Aura emitted by Wuji Daoist was the most majestic and formidable!

His power alone actually suppressed the combined strength of everyone else!

With the help of Lu Hao's Medicinal Pill, Wuji Daoist had surprisingly broken through to the Ascension Realm!

The Ascension Realm is also known as the Peak of the Human Dao, because if one can break through one more major Realm, one becomes an Immortal!

"Hahaha, hahaha, ahaha! This old man has been in seclusion underground for tens of thousands of years, tens of thousands of years! I could only break through to Half-Step Ascension, but I never expected that today, with the help of one Medicinal Pill, I would actually achieve the Peak of the Human Dao Realm!"

"Truly, heaven protects me, Wuji Daoist! Heaven protects my Wuji Pavilion!!!"

Following Wuji Daoist's voice, the others also let out very excited sounds. Faced with such a Medicinal Pill, no one could remain calm.

Lu Hao felt the cultivation returned to his own body and nodded. It seemed that he would need to open more branch Sects in the future.

...

Accompanied by the continuous Breakthroughs of the crowd, the Lightning Tribulation descending from the sky also became increasingly terrifying.

Layer after layer of Lightning Tribulation began to descend continuously. Because the distance was too close, there were actually signs of them beginning to stack!

Above the Nine Heavens.

Wuji Daoist's Ascension Lightning Tribulation was the most terrifying. The power radiating from it made even Lü Chengtian feel heart-palpitations just looking at it. He knew that if he were to face such a Lightning Tribulation, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single strike.

Subsequently, he looked at his own Yang Solid Eighth Layer Lightning Tribulation, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"The Lightning Tribulation of the Yang Solid Eighth Layer, is it? I would like to see how powerful you are; do not disappoint me!"

In a short while, everyone had made full preparations. Facing their own Lightning Tribulation, their eyes were filled with blazing Battle Intent, and there was no sign of wanting to retreat!

If it weren't for the fact that multiple Lightning Tribulations were already stacking in the sky, causing them to not dare to rashly fly into them, some of them would probably have already gone to bathe in the Lightning Tribulation.

But soon, everyone noticed something was wrong!

Like some Cultivators who had broken through to the Yang Solid Realm, their original Lightning Tribulation power would not have been very strong, but due to the influence of Wuji Daoist's terrifying Lightning Tribulation...

Their Lightning Tribulation had actually become tainted with a trace of the Ascension Realm Lightning Tribulation's Aura!

This was extremely terrifying.

One must know that Cultivators usually look for a very secluded place when breaking through, either a secret chamber in the Sect or deep in the mountains outside.

Moreover, the situation where so many people of different Realms are breaking through at the same time and in the same place as it is now almost never happens, so they did not know that Lightning Tribulations could also affect each other.

How could Cultivators who had just broken through to the Yang Solid Realm have any chance of survival when facing a Lightning Tribulation tainted with a trace of the Ascension Lightning Tribulation's Aura?

Even before the Lightning Tribulation was about to successfully brew, they had already been unable to bear the pressure of that Ascension Lightning Tribulation, almost sinking into the ground, unable to move a single bit!

"Help... help me..."

"Master, save me!!!"

People began to call for help; this had already exceeded the limit of what they could resist.

Originally, a Breakthrough was a good thing, but looking at the current situation, it was likely that except for Lü Chengtian and Wuji Daoist, everyone else would perish here, without any suspense!

It was even questionable whether Lü Chengtian could withstand it.

This could truly be described as joy turning into sorrow.
