Eighteen Lightning Tribulations

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Suddenly, terrifying dark clouds began to gather in the sky. Dense lightning spread through the clouds, as if they contained countless lightning snakes.

At the end of the plaza, on the platform at the top of the stone pillars, Cao Rong slowly stood up. His gaze fell on the lightning tribulation in the sky with a solemn expression.

"This child's tribulation is about to descend," Cao Rong muttered softly.

"This lightning tribulation is so terrifying."

Ge Ning stood behind Cao Rong with a solemn expression. Although the lightning tribulation hadn't started yet, he could feel that it would be extraordinary from the lightning brewing in the tribulation clouds.

"Do you think the tribulation of a fellow who needs thirty-two golden patterns to break through will be simple?" Cao Rong said with a smirk.

Ge Ning nodded in understanding. This Zhuowen was indeed not simple. Not only did he have five types of laws, but he also had thirty-two golden patterns, yet he still hadn't broken through to the Sage Realm. This was enough to show that this child was a freak.

It wasn't just Cao Rong and Ge Ning. Countless cultivators who were paying attention to Zhuowen on the Ninth Underworld Platform all looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

"Tribulation clouds, this Zhuowen is probably going to break through to the Sage Realm. This is Zhuowen's tribulation."

"What a terrifying heavenly might. This child's tribulation will definitely be extraordinary."

"… …"

When everyone felt the terrifying heavenly might leaking from the tribulation clouds, their hearts couldn't help but tremble. This was a natural reaction when facing a superior.

"Hall Master Qing!"

At this moment, Yaksha Hai, Eternal Night Underworld King, Imperial Killer of the League of Assassins, Bai Mei Sheng of the Hundred Flowers Park, Undying Old Monster of the Undying Sacred Altar, Wu Hou of the Saint Martial Sect, and Desolate Island Desert all gathered their gazes on Sapphire Shore.

The six of them were a little anxious. In just a month, Zhuowen had already touched the threshold of the Profound Sage Realm. Now, he had even attracted the tribulation of the Sage Realm.

Once Zhuowen passed this tribulation, he would become a Sage. At that time, his battle strength would be unparalleled.

Sapphire Shore raised his head slightly. His deep gaze landed on the depths of the Nine Underworlds Heaven as he murmured, "Soon. Just wait, it's about to begin."

Looking at Sapphire Shore's appearance, the six of them looked at each other in confusion.

When they sensed that the Sapphire Shore before them seemed to be waiting for something, the six of them became suspicious.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down from the tribulation clouds. It cut through the void and was dazzling to the eye.

This bolt of lightning was extremely terrifying. Everywhere it passed, space collapsed and formed countless black voids, causing it to seem extremely strange.

If an ordinary martial artist was struck by this bolt of lightning, they would probably not be able to withstand it for too long and would be turned into dust.

"I wonder if this Zhuowen can withstand this lightning."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuowen, all of them revealing looks of anticipation. After all, the first bolt of lightning was already so terrifying. According to the nature of the tribulation, its power would definitely become more and more terrifying.

"This is the 63th Thunder Tribulation. The tribulation clouds will brew 63 bolts of heavenly lightning, each more terrifying than the previous one. This should be the most ordinary tribulation of the Sage Realm."

Cao Rong narrowed his eyes, revealing a puzzled look. The 63th Thunder Tribulation was the most ordinary tribulation of the Sage Realm.

Only those half-Sages who had comprehended the most ordinary laws would usually face this kind of ordinary tribulation of the Sage Realm.

However, Zhuowen was not an ordinary half-Sage. This guy was a monstrous genius who had comprehended five kinds of laws. Now that such an ordinary tribulation of the Sage Realm had descended, it was really shocking.

Not only Cao Rong, but the surrounding martial artists also revealed puzzled looks. Obviously, some of them did not quite understand Zhuowen's tribulation of the Sage Realm.

"The 63th Thunder Tribulation!"

Zhuo Wen raised his head and stomped his foot. A terrifying force spread from the bottom of his feet. Immediately, the ground beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch. Zhuo Wen shot towards the sky like an arrow that had been released from a bow.

Rumble!

The bucket-like thunderbolt heavily blasted Zhuowen's body. Countless electric sparks spread from Zhuowen's head to his feet, flashing constantly. He looked like the God of Thunder.

"The Great Dao Indestructible Divine Body's main purpose is to temper. There is an ancient saying that a sword's edge must be tempered. A real sword should be tempered thousands of times to become a real sharp sword that can cut through iron like mud."

"This is the principle behind the Myriad Tao Immortal Divine Body. The Divine Body is like a sword. If you really want to improve it, you have to go through a lot of tempering."

"The best furnace to temper the Divine Body is the Thunder Tribulation, and the Sage Tribulation is undoubtedly the best medium to temper the Divine Body."

After resisting the first Thunder Tribulation of the 63 Thunder Tribulations with his physical body, Zhuowen turned his head and felt indescribably comfortable.

Moreover, he faintly felt that after being tempered by the thunderbolt, the Great Dao Indestructible Divine Body in his body had sped up, making the power of his Divine Body stronger.

"This guy's physical body is so terrifying. No wonder his performance in the third stage of the Nine Underworld Conference was so outstanding and terrifying."

Zhuowen's action of resisting the first Thunder Tribulation with his physical body caused an uproar among many people.

Although the 63 Thunder Tribulations were the most common Sage Tribulation, each Thunder Tribulation was extremely terrifying. If an ordinary Half-saint had resisted the Thunder Tribulation like Zhuowen, he would have been turned into ashes.

At the same time, many people recalled Zhuowen's various performances in the world of yellow fog, and they felt somewhat relieved.

The world of yellow fog had Restrictive Spells. Original Energy, Mind Power, and the Power of Law could not even be opened by Spiritual Rings.

However, the suppression of the Restrictive Spell on the body was not very obvious.

Zhuowen's body was so strong that his starting point in the world of yellow fog was much higher than that of others. It was no wonder that he had the last laugh. Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Next, nine terrifying Thunderbolts descended from the tribulation clouds in a row, each more terrifying than the previous one.

However, Zhuo Wen still used his physical body to receive these terrifying lightning bolts. Moreover, what was shocking was that Zhuo Wen's physical body didn't collapse or become charred because of the lightning tribulation. Instead, it emitted a sparkling and translucent color.

Some sharp-minded people could even find that after being tempered by the first ten Thunderbolts, the aura of Zhuowen's body was even more terrifying than before.

"It seems that this kid is using the Thunder Tribulation to temper his body."

Cao Rong stood far away on the platform, his eyes falling on Zhuowen from beginning to end. Especially after observing that Zhuowen's physical aura had strengthened, he immediately thought of Zhuowen's purpose.

"I don't know what kind of Body Tempering Secret Technique this kid has cultivated. It's actually so magical. If I'm not wrong, this kid's physical body is already comparable to that of an ordinary Profound Sage."

The strength of Zhuowen's physical body had even shocked Cao Rong.

Boom! Boom!

Next, the remaining eight Thunder Tribulations of the eighteen Thunder Tribulations continuously descended from the sky.

Zhuowen relied on the power of his Saint Body and withstood the remaining eight Thunder Tribulations one by one.

It was worth mentioning that the power of the eighteenth Thunder Tribulation of the eighteen Thunder Tribulations was indeed extremely terrifying.

The eighteenth Thunder Tribulation was the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation. Countless Thunderbolts condensed in the tribulation clouds and turned into a Thunder Dragon that swooped down from the clouds. Its power was so powerful that even a Void Profound Sage Realm Sage would not dare to compete with it.

However, Zhuowen still relied on his Saint Body to withstand the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation. Moreover, the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation's tempering effect on him was the best among the eighteen Thunder Tribulations.

"He withstood the eighteen Thunder Tribulations so easily?"

Looking at Zhuowen who had passed the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation, everyone was surprised. The Sage Tribulation, which was feared by everyone, was actually passed by Zhuowen so easily.

"It's over just like that?"

Cao Rong frowned slightly. Even he was a little surprised that Zhuowen's Sage Tribulation was actually so simple.

"No, this child's Sage Tribulation is not so simple because the tribulation clouds have not dispersed yet." Ge Ning, who was beside Cao Rong, suddenly exclaimed.

Cao Rong's gaze focused as he stared at the tribulation clouds above Zhuowen. He said in a low voice, "If I'm not wrong, this is the tribulation of tribulations. This is an extremely rare Sage Tribulation."

"Tribulation of tribulations?"

Ge Ning was shocked. He naturally knew about the tribulation of tribulations. Generally, the tribulation of tribulations was divided into external and internal tribulations. Among them, the external tribulations were more ordinary Thunder Tribulations.

As for the tribulation of tribulations, the true tribulation was contained within the internal tribulations. The internal tribulations contained world-shaking disasters, and the Thunder Tribulations contained within would definitely be unexpected.

"The eighteen Thunder Tribulations just now should be an external tribulation. I wonder what kind of Sage Tribulation is the internal tribulation of the tribulation of tribulations this time?" Cao Rong muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, not only did Cao Rong discover the strangeness of the tribulation clouds, but the others on the Ninth Underworld Heaven Platform also noticed the abnormality because the tribulation clouds in the sky did not dissipate after Zhuowen passed the eighteen Thunder Tribulations.

"It's the tribulation of tribulations!"

Finally, someone who knew what was good for him exclaimed in shock. Then, there was an uproar in the surroundings as people discussed animatedly.

"The tribulation of tribulations. Generally, the internal tribulations are extremely terrifying and almost destroy the world. I'm afraid this kid is going to suffer."

Sapphire Shore's eyes flickered, revealing a trace of hesitation. The time was very ripe now, and the hidden hand that he had set up could already take action.

However, he was very afraid of Cao Rong. After all, Cao Rong had the Chaos Temple behind him.

If there were any changes to the plan, then his Blue Dragon Hall would probably go down in infamy in the Ninth Underworld Realm for ten thousand years, or even be removed because of this.

In Sapphire Shore's opinion, the best outcome would be for Zhuowen to fall in the internal tribulation. Then, Zhuowen, this variable, would not be a threat.

Once Cao Rong left the Eastern Lands, everything would be foolproof if he carried out the plan. And his Blue Dragon Hall would definitely become the true ruler of the Ninth Underworld Realm, ruling over the life and death of the other Underworld Realms.

The leaders of the other six Underworld Realms also calmed down and coldly looked at the tribulation clouds that were still brewing.

Right now, their thoughts were similar to Sapphire Shore's. They were also waiting for the internal tribulation. If Zhuowen died in the internal tribulation, that would be the best outcome.

Of course, if this kid showed any signs of passing the internal tribulation, they would use thunderous methods and attack together to eliminate Zhuowen, this future threat.
