Rumble!
In the sky, the muffled sound of thunder continued.
The sky darkened as if it was night. The clouds swirled and formed an incomparably huge maelstrom. Streaks of lightning flashed in the center of the maelstrom.
The air froze. The atmosphere was grim and murderous.
Immense pressure came from the heavens, causing everyone to be unable to breathe.
Even the faction leaders started to retreat in fear.
At that moment, they dared not get close to that kid. If they were caught within the perimeter of the Tribulation, they would be implicated and be struck by an even greater Tribulation.
“That kid… is quite bold. He dares to trigger the Tribulation of Lightning here!” The patriarch of the Jiang family sneered.
Anyone who dared to trigger the Tribulation of Lightning would fully prepare themselves in layers of protection, yet that kid triggered it whenever he liked, not to mention that he was currently surrounded by so many people.
“Hmph! So what if he succeeded? Six nascent souls is nothing to be afraid of!” The Empyrean Sect leader grunted disdainfully.
Their best prodigy had eight nascent souls, which was more than enough to crush someone with six.
They retreated far away and began to observe.
The lightning brewed in the sky for a while, and it looked more terrifying than ever.
The sky crackled, and a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket came crashing down.
In an instant, the sky and earth were illuminated.
Everyone covered their eyes. When they got used to the brightness, they looked over again and were shocked.
That Qin guy stood there and did not react, letting the lightning strike him.
“Is he crazy? That’s tribulation lightning. Is he going to take it head-on?”
“Crazy! He’s completely crazy!”
Everyone cried out in shock.
Boom!
The lightning landed on Tang Hao’s body.
His entire body trembled, and he let out a muffled groan. His face became distorted due to the pain, and his skin began to crack and bubble.
However, he gritted his teeth and managed to hang on.
The lightning quickly dissipated. He had successfully withstood the first bolt of tribulation lightning.
“Hiss!”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Their faces were filled with shock.
They could not believe that someone had withstood tribulation lightning with only their physical body.
Only a crazy person would do that! One had to know that the slightest mistake would result in the complete annihilation of their body and soul.
“That kid is insane!”
Even the sect leaders were shocked when they saw that.
After the first bolt of lightning dissipated, the purple lightning in the sky rumbled and gathered once more, and its aura grew even more powerful.
Each Tribulation of Lightning had nine lightning strikes, each more powerful than the last. As long as one could survive all nine strikes, the heavens would accept the existence of the nascent soul.
If one continued to convert the seventh nascent soul, the cycle of tribulation would begin again, and they would have to withstand another nine lightning strikes.
Of course, those nine strikes would be much more powerful than the previous ones.
If one wanted to convert nine nascent souls, they would have to suffer thirty-six lightning strikes, and so on.
Each Tribulation of Lightning was more powerful than the last. The last nine strikes would be the most terrifying.
Tang Hao took a deep breath and activated his Nirvana Sutra. The injuries on his body quickly healed. Then, the divine bone in front of his chest vibrated. His skin emitted a golden light, and fine dragon scales appeared.
At that moment, the second bolt of tribulation lightning struck down.
Tang Hao’s body trembled, though he gritted his teeth and endured it. Not even his scales were broken.
The second form of the divine bone made him half human and half dragon. His extremely strong physical body made him able to withstand the tribulation lightning.
The crowd gasped when they saw that.
“Good heavens! It’s already the second strike. That kid is a freak!”
Their jaws dropped.
A moment later, the third lightning strike arrived.
After withstanding that strike, Tang Hao suddenly moved. He activated the Emperor Yu’s Step and charged toward the patriarch of the Yushi family.
The faction leaders were exclaiming in shock. They did not expect Tang Hao to suddenly charge over.
By the time they reacted, Tang Hao had already arrived in front of the patriarch of the Yushi family.
At that moment, the fourth bolt of lightning was about to strike down, but it suddenly paused. In the next moment, another bolt of lightning condensed. It was so purple that it was almost black, and its aura was incomparably terrifying.
Crackle!
Two bolts of lightning struck down at the same time. One struck at Tang Hao, and the other struck at the patriarch.
The patriarch of the Yushi family was scared out of his wits, and his old face was distorted by fear.
His body trembled, and he quickly raised his hand, taking out an ancient bell and covering it above his head.
He continued to activate defensive Artifacts that surrounded him in multiple layers.
The tribulation lightning struck down, and the first layer of defense shattered. It continued to shatter the second layer, and so on, tearing those Artifacts into pieces.
Finally, it struck the ancient bell.
Clang!
A deafening sound shook the sky, and a dazzling brilliance burst out from the ancient bell. Vaguely, the phantom silhouette of a dragon rose up and shattered the tribulation lightning.
“Phew!”
The patriarch let out a sigh of relief after having survived that disaster.
Following that, he grabbed the ancient bell and retreated swiftly.
Tang Hao had also successfully withstood the lightning strike. He continued to chase after the patriarch.
His expression was grim, as though he would not rest until the patriarch was killed.
He could tell that the patriarch had been tracking him. If he did not kill the patriarch, he would not be able to escape, even if he had formed the nascent souls.
“What… what are you doing, you filthy brat? Don’t come over. Get lost!”
The patriarch’s face was pale with fright as he shouted in panic.
‘Dammit, he plans to kill me!’
The lightning just now had already destroyed so many of his Artifacts, and he only managed to block it with the supreme Rain God Bell. Another lightning strike would definitely kill him.
“F*ck!”
The faces of the other faction leaders turned pale. They began to run away in case the kid targeted them.
That kid made them feel true terror. He was even more terrifying than a Path Severance expert at that moment.
Tang Hao did not say a word as he continued to chase after the patriarch of the Yushi family.
In the sky, two more lightning bolts struck down.
Tang Hao used his physical body to withstand it. Although he grimaced, he was still able to resist it.
The patriarch was not as lucky. The thunderbolt struck the Rain God Bell, which shook violently. He let out a muffled groan as his face turned pale. He was actually injured.
“You’re still coming? F*ck!”
The patriarch of the Yushi family was furious.
He was the leader of an entire faction, but the kid had humiliated him.
However, he had no time or energy to deal with that kid. Another lightning bolt struck down from the sky, which was even more terrifying than the previous one.
After being struck by that lightning bolt, his entire body shook violently. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. His face was already as pale as a sheet.
“How tragic!”
“Ol’ Yushi sure is unlucky!”
The faction leaders gasped, and their faces were filled with fear.
They turned to look at the murderous young man, and their bodies trembled as they ran further away.
“That young man is simply a freak!”
The faction leaders felt extremely depressed.
They had never seen anyone who withstood lightning with their physical body alone. Not only that, that person could even run around! It was simply inconceivable!
