69: The seventh level of thunder tribulation!

The Lightning Tribulation is formed by the Laws of the Heavenly Dao.

When a Cultivator achieves a Breakthrough to the Mahayana stage and becomes an Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator, they will face the Lightning Tribulation!

Or, for those individuals or objects that do not abide by the operating rules of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao will impose punishment by descending the Lightning Tribulation!

And depending on the degree to which the rules were broken by their actions, it will descend Lightning Tribulations of different levels.

This Lightning Tribulation is something all Cultivators dread; once encountered, the possibility of falling is over ninety percent!

Only true heaven-favored children can be reborn through the fire of the Lightning Tribulation! Breaking and then establishing!

It is precisely because they fear the power of the Lightning Tribulation that many Mahayana Perfection Cultivators lack the confidence to make a Breakthrough!

Clearly, what is forming above the Qing Xuan Prefecture is the Lightning Tribulation aimed at Daoist Tianqiong.

The thunderclouds are slowly gathering, with terrifying electric light flickering within, flashing on and off.

Within the thunderclouds, a very powerful aura is constantly surging, as if giving birth to something extremely terrifying.

Daoist Tianqiong stares at the thunderclouds, and an intense crisis of life and death instantly shrouds his heart!

"It is over. I currently do not have a Physical Body, so my strength is greatly reduced! This Lightning Tribulation is descending directly without waiting for me to restore my Physical Body! Is Heaven trying to destroy me, leaving not a single path to survival?"

Daoist Tianqiong thinks this way, and inexplicably, a surge of baleful energy rises in his heart.

Which Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator is a mediocre person? Their spirit is naturally extremely high.

"Fine, fine, fine! This old man was already supposed to die. Now that I have met Lord Lu and obtained the Opportunity for Rebirth, I have yet to repay my benefactor. How can I fall under the Lightning Tribulation!!!"

"Come! This old man wants to see what ability you have to take me!"

Saying this, Daoist Tianqiong actually steps out of the Formation of the Qingfeng Courtyard and faces the Lightning Tribulation directly in mid-air!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Lightning Tribulation seems angered by Daoist Tianqiong's provocation and descends ten thousand lightning bolts, rushing rapidly toward Daoist Tianqiong!

Seeing this, Daoist Tianqiong's eyes are solemn, filled with unparalleled conviction and unyielding spirit.

Burning with a very intense light! That is the courage to fight the Heavens and fight the Earth!

Even if I only have a Soul remaining in this world, I am not something that you, a Lightning Tribulation, can manipulate at will!

His entire body bursts with golden light as he charges fiercely toward the Lightning Tribulation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Intense collision sounds echo, accompanied by various visions in the sky, directly disturbing all the Cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect.

Everyone walks out of their places of Cultivate and looks up at the sky.

"This, is this a Lightning Tribulation??"

"What exactly is Senior Brother Lu Cultivating?! He can actually summon a Lightning Tribulation; this is a taboo of Heaven and Earth!"

"Look! Someone is Undergoing Tribulation! It doesn't seem to be Senior Brother Lu!!"

"Is it an old man? Who is that old man? He is actually so powerful that he is not at a disadvantage at all when facing the Lightning Tribulation. It is truly inconceivable!"

...

The members of the Qingxuan Sect stare at the sky above the Qing Xuan Prefecture with shocked expressions.

Many of them haven't even heard the name of the Lightning Tribulation, let alone seen one. They all widen their eyes, watching carefully.

Some heroic ambitions inevitably arise in everyone's hearts.

One day, they too will be like that old man, striking back against the Lightning Tribulation above the Nine Heavens!

However, at this moment, Daoist Tianqiong looks majestic, but in reality, he feels a bit bitter inside.

He has already received five layers of Lightning Tribulation, but this Lightning Tribulation shows no signs of dissipating; instead, it is becoming more solid!

Could it be reaching the seventh, or even the eighth layer of Lightning Tribulation?!!

The Heavenly Lightning Tribulation is divided by Rank, with the lowest being the first layer and the highest being the ninth layer!

According to ancient legends, there seems to be a Lightning Tribulation beyond the ninth layer, but in this era, it seems to have vanished!

Therefore, the ninth layer is the strongest Lightning Tribulation in the cognition of the Cultivators of this era.

Nine layers of Lightning Tribulation, each layer is a matter of life and death!

From ancient times to the present, not one in a hundred thousand can survive the nine-layer Lightning Tribulation! From this, one can see the difficulty of the nine-layer Lightning Tribulation.

Although Daoist Tianqiong has heaven-defying talent, he knows deeply that he has absolutely no possibility of surviving the nine-layer Lightning Tribulation!

According to his estimation, his limit is at most the sixth layer.

He is already at the end of his rope, and the previous five layers of Lightning Tribulation have already forced him to use everything.

He has no other means left and can only endure it forcibly!

Just as these thoughts flash through his mind, the sixth layer of Lightning Tribulation arrives as scheduled.

Bolts of lightning as thick as an arm descend crazily, and their aura is countless times more solid than before!

They streak across the sky together, all striking toward Daoist Tianqiong!

The area around Daoist Tianqiong is instantly dyed into a sea of lightning.

He bathes in the sea of lightning, stubbornly persisting, his unyielding will becoming stronger and stronger, and he lets out a heaven-shaking roar!

"Hahaha, refreshing, so refreshing, come on! If you have the guts, strike me to death, you old man!!!"

"I am Daoist Tianqiong, having fought throughout my life! Lightning Tribulation, you cannot take me away!!!"

The thunderclouds under the firmament surge faster, as if angered by Daoist Tianqiong.

In an instant, the remaining thunder strikes down!

"Ah!!! Hold on!!!"

Daoist Tianqiong uses the last bit of Soul power in his body to forcibly maintain his Soul from dispersing!

Fortunately, he finally made it through.

He survived this sixth layer of Lightning Tribulation.

His Soul body has become extremely illusory, as if it is about to dissipate with the wind.

There are still wisps of lightning on his body.

But an exceptionally excited smile appears on his face as he slowly turns around and looks down at Lu Hao.

"Lord Lu, I did not let you down, did I?"

Lu Hao looks at Daoist Tianqiong, saying nothing, but staring at the thunderclouds behind him.

The thunderclouds are still there, not dissipated!

Daoist Tianqiong also notices something wrong and instantly looks at the sky!

His face changes drastically! Gritting his teeth, he says word by word:

"What?! The... Seventh... Layer... Lightning... Tribulation!"

He understands now; his Rebirth must have angered the Heavenly Dao, which is why it descended such a calamity to stop him.

But he has no regrets. Heaven giving him a chance at Rebirth is already being very merciful to him; if he cannot survive the Lightning Tribulation, he cannot blame others.

It is just that he will probably be unable to repay Lord Lu's kindness.

Sigh...

This time, Daoist Tianqiong does not look at the sky again; he has no power to resist this layer of Lightning Tribulation.

"Lord Lu, I have let you down. I am afraid I cannot survive this Lightning Tribulation. If there is a chance, I will repay your kindness in the next life!"

As his voice falls, the Lightning Tribulation has finished brewing and descends with a boom.

It speeds toward the back of Daoist Tianqiong.

Daoist Tianqiong takes a deep breath and slowly closes his eyes. Everything from his past plays through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Famous in his youth, seizing various Opportunities, slaying countless powerful enemies, founding a Sect, bringing glory to his family, and finally regrettably failing at the hands of others.

Even at the last moment of his life, he is still able to fight against the Lightning Tribulation; his life has already been magnificent enough.

It is just a pity that he cannot see the downfall of Changsun Jingwu with his own eyes...
