C1140 The Change of the Lightning Tribulation
Everyone looked at Xingyun with burning eyes, and even their breathing became rapid.
Everyone knew that the strength of a cultivator was divided into nine realms. However, those above the Ninth Stage were divided into the Tribulation Stage and the Great multiplication Stage, Earth Immortal Stage.
Although very few people had actually seen an Earth Immortal before, the stories about Earth Immortals were widely spread. Among them, the thing that people loved to talk about the most was the seemingly endless lifespan of an Earth Immortal.
Of course, according to historical records, the lifespan of an Earth Immortal also had an end. It was just that no one knew how long it was. In contrast, it was extremely difficult to raise one's strength to the Earth Immortal Stage.
However, since the name of an Earth Immortal had the word 'immortal' in it, there was naturally something about it that was different from an ordinary person. There was a saying circulating in the Immortal Cultivation World, "One Sovereign for a hundred years, one Earth Immortal for a thousand years."
From this saying, one could tell how rare Earth Immortals were in the Immortal Cultivation World. At least within a thousand years, no one had ever come across the threshold of the Earth Immortal Stage.
After the Ninth Stage, one would become an Earth Immortal. It was also imaginable that Xingyun would be the first cultivator in a thousand years to come into contact with an Earth Immortal.
Tribulation lightning kept falling from the sky, landing on Xingyun's body. The aura contained within the tribulation lightning was suffocating. Yang Xuan looked at the tribulation lightning in the sky. He had a vague feeling that he would definitely die under this tribulation lightning. He was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to hold on for a breath's time before he would be turned into ashes by the tribulation lightning.
However, after his strength had returned to its peak, there was no fear on Xingyun's face. Instead, he was filled with confidence.
"Come on, the lightning tribulation that filled the sky all those years ago couldn't do anything to me. I would like to see what kind of pressure you can give me." Xingyun said, and the Shadowless Sword fell into his hand. Invisible Sword Qi flew out from the Shadowless Sword. It actually blocked the lightning tribulation that fell from the sky.
The Sword Qi collided with the lightning tribulation, producing a deafening roar.
Not far away, the people of Xuan Martial Pavilion were looking nervously at Xingyun, who was covered by the lightning tribulation. Xuan Yu's clenched fist was full of sweat. Part of the reason why they were sweating was because they were nervous, and most of it was because they were excited.
However, compared to the others who were nervous, Xingyun was the calmest one. If one had to describe his current mood with a single word, it would be as calm as an ancient well.
In a place further away and closer to the Bedlam Lands, countless people were staring at this place.
Almost everyone from the Xuan Martial Pavilion had come out in full force. There was no way that no one wouldn't know about such a big movement. Although there were no Sovereign in the Bedlam Lands, there were still a few God Sensing Stage cultivators.
They could sense that the power contained in the tribulation lightning that fell from the sky was enough to turn them into ashes. This force was obviously not something that God Sensing Stage warriors could withstand, even if their strength was at the peak of God Sensing Stage.
Therefore, the only reasonable explanation was that there was someone who was one realm higher than a God Sensing Stage who was undergoing his tribulation there.
A God Sensing Stage warrior who looked as skinny as a bamboo pole looked at the lightning tribulation that was shrouding Xingyun. His eyes were shining brightly.
A burly man with a thick beard and a large waist had a complicated expression on his face. He muttered to himself, "Perhaps from now on, the entire Bedlam Lands will belong to one person."
Everyone was paying attention to the situation of Xingyun's tribulation.
In a place like the Bedlam Lands, if the people of any major power were to come out in full force, it would definitely be the most dangerous act, because their old nest might be destroyed in one go before they left.
But now, they knew that there was no one in the Xuan Martial Pavilion's camp, but no one dared to touch it. They didn't even have the thought of getting their hands on it.
Before Xingyun's tribulation ended, no one dared to make a decision that was countless times more risky than profit.
The thunder tribulation was getting more and more intense, causing the surrounding people of the Xuan Martial Pavilion to feel pressured. Under the pressure of the thunder tribulation, the weaker cultivators' faces turned pale.
Without any warning, the Li Flame in Yang Xuan's body emerged and wrapped itself around Yang Xuan. That was because Yang Xuan's body had sensed that he was in danger, so it protected him.
Not only Yang Xuan, but a huge spiritual shield had also condensed on Xuan Yu's body. It was like a shield that blocked the aftermath of the lightning tribulation, protecting the people from the Xuan Martial Pavilion behind him. Even so, they had already retreated at least a hundred meters from their previous position.
Mu Tong, whose strength was already relatively low, turned pale in front of the lightning tribulation, but Loong Bupo was still beside him. After noticing Mu Tong's ugly expression, Loong Bupo came to Mu Tong and protected him. The pressure on Mu Tong was instantly relieved.
Suddenly, a tribulation lightning that was several times thicker than all the previous tribulation lightning was condensed from the tribulation clouds. It carried an unparalleled momentum as it fell towards Xingyun.
Not far away, outside the range of the tribulation lightning, the people of Xuan Martial Pavilion immediately took a few steps back. Xuan Yu's face turned pale all of a sudden. He could sense the tremendous force of the tribulation lightning. Although the force wasn't enough to injure him, he could only protect himself. He couldn't guarantee that he could protect the others behind him.
The thickest tribulation lightning finally fell. After colliding with Xingyun, it turned into a silver light.
"Retreat, quickly retreat!" Xuan Yu shouted at the other people behind him, and his expression became incomparably solemn.2
He could feel the power of the tribulation lightning, and also the power of the sword technique that Xingyun was condensing.
"Sword Qi, Nine Prefectures Overturning the Nine Prefectures!" Following Xingyun's shout, Yang Xuan could feel that Xingyun's aura had become sharper, as if he himself was a sharp sword.
Xingyun swung his sword. Countless Sword Qi flew out from his body and collided with the tribulation lightning. The tribulation lightning turned into countless silver snakes of light and shot in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Yu's heart turned cold. Although his reaction was fast, it had already forced the people of Xuan Martial Pavilion to retreat. However, the lightning tribulation that was split open by Xingyun was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at the place where the people of Xuan Martial Pavilion were gathered.
"Damn it, why did this happen?" Xuan Yu's heart was filled with regret. Part of the reason why he brought the entire Xuan Martial Pavilion here was because of the strong request of the Xuan Martial Pavilion's people. Another reason was that he was afraid that Xingyun would encounter trouble during the heavenly tribulation.
But now, Xingyun didn't encounter any trouble. Instead, the first person he encountered was himself.
"Today, I don't believe that you can still destroy my sect at this time." Xuan Yu roared in a low voice. All the Spiritual Force in the Qi Wheel had been changed. The Mirage Sword Technique was also used at the first moment, colliding with the lightning that was faster.
Behind him, the people from the Xuan Martial Pavilion immediately understood what had happened. They quickly split into dozens of groups of four to five people. This was something they could imagine in a short period of time. It was the most likely method to block the lightning.
