Volume 13: Sword Immortal Chapter 19 Seven Tribulations
Dragging everyone to go through the ordeal together can be said to be a ruthless move, a move that will allow one to survive from the brink of death.
Lu Qingshan had no choice but to come up with this tactic.
He was unwilling to leave, but also wanted to deal a blow to the demons. Given his limited strength, this was the best and only way.
"What can a mere thunder tribulation do to me?" a demon lord shouted and fought fiercely against the thunder tribulation.
Although they are affected by the heavenly tribulation, the attack of the heavenly tribulation that each demon cultivator has to face is just in line with their own cultivation level.
There are many people who cannot withstand the power of the heavenly tribulation, but there are also many people who can resist it, and even the majority are demon cultivators who can contend against the heavenly tribulation.
After all, to have achieved what they have today, the combat power of these demon cultivators is among the best in the same level.
"Fighting against the sky... I guess you are not happy about it, so I will repay evil with kindness and help you." Lu Qingshan sneered as he looked up at the sky full of calamity clouds, as if he was talking to the sky.
Lu Qingshan just pointed his finger slightly, and Lieque shot out from the vast sea of thunder with absolute oppressive force. With a whoosh, it shot towards the forehead of a demon cultivator who was fighting against the heavenly calamity.
With a bang, the entire body of the evil cultivator exploded.
In such a thunder tribulation, all magical instruments will become shaky and their power will be greatly reduced.
Only Lieque was not affected in any way.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lie Que was like the Black and White Impermanence walking in a thunder tribulation, constantly reaping lives. Wherever he passed, demon cultivators would die on the spot, unwilling to die.
"It's so unfair!" Many of the older generation of demon cultivators who once dominated an era couldn't help but shout.
They saw that Lie Que was unhindered in the sea of thunder and lightning, and was even like a fish in water. He walked under the thunder and lightning and kept killing people. It was a despairing scene.
"We are both going through a tribulation, and it is extremely difficult for us, but he still has the energy to attack us. How can it be so outrageous!"
"This is a monster, a murderer!"
The demon lords who usually put on a stern look as if they were confident of what they had planned have now lost their composure.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were deep, and he kept drawing his sword while fighting against the thunder tribulation.
The targets he chose were all ordinary ninth-grade demon cultivators, or even eighth-grade demon cultivators, and he did not attack any demon lord.
Because the heavenly tribulation was so mighty and he was at the center of the thunder tribulation, he was actually under a lot of pressure.
Due to his profound foundation in Yuanli, Lu Qingshan had already attracted the extremely terrifying double tribulation of thunder and fire when he was promoted to the Tribulation Realm and experienced the 19th Heavenly Tribulation. The power was comparable to the 39th Heavenly Tribulation of an ordinary cultivator.
After that, every time his cultivation level improved by a small level, the tribulations he would experience would become correspondingly more terrifying.
Up to now, after his foundation of Taoism has been further perfected, the power of the seventy-nine heavenly tribulations he has faced has exceeded the imagination of most people.
Even though there were so many demon cultivators on the scene whose cultivation levels were far superior to his, almost none of the demon lords could endure a heavenly tribulation that could be comparable to his.
In addition, he was already seriously injured and in poor condition, so even Lu Qingshan himself was trying his best to fight against the heavenly calamity.
The reason why he still had enough energy to fight the demon cultivators for their lives was entirely because Lieque was not disturbed at all by the heavenly tribulation, and was even like a fish in water, with extremely little mana consumption.
Of course, he didn't have much spare energy to look for tough guys, and most of his energy had to be used to deal with the seventy-nine heavenly tribulations.
…
"Ah..." At this moment, in addition to those demon cultivators who were involved in the heavenly tribulation due to Lu Qingshan's frame-up, there were countless demon cultivators in Futu King City who were also undergoing the tribulation.
These demon cultivators did not take any action, nor were they identified by the heavenly tribulation as people who interfered with the tribulation.
However, since they are within the range of the heavenly calamity, they will inevitably be dragged down and affected.
It's like a cannonball is fired only at the general on the city wall. It is impossible to say that other soldiers will not be harmed by the cannonball if they are not the target.
The heavenly calamity did not go straight towards them.
But just the aftermath was not something they could bear.
It was a devastating blow to them.
This is why human cultivators often choose deserted places to transcend tribulation. In addition to preventing interference, they also want to avoid implicating innocent people.
That's why everyone was so shocked when Lu Qingshan was overcoming the tribulation at Yumen Pass.
Of course, that time, Lu Qingshan did not wait for the heavenly tribulation to fall, but went against the trend and directly defeated it at the source of the thunder tribulation, and it did not affect Yumen Pass.
Many demon cultivators wanted to escape and get out of the range of the heavenly calamity, but they couldn't .
Because when those demon cultivators who were besieging Lu Qingshan were caught in the thunder tribulation, the thunder tribulation had become too massive, almost covering the entire sky above the Futu King City, and was everywhere.
They have nowhere to escape.
"I won't accept this!" A hysterical howl came from the gathering place of geniuses in the heart of the royal city below.
A genius of the demon clan had disheveled hair and his protective magic weapon had been blown up by the aftermath of the heavenly calamity. He was now activating his divine and demonic body to resist the calamity, but it was very difficult. His whole body was already covered in torn flesh, and it was obvious that he could not hold on for too long.
"I hate it, I hate it!" He was angry and ashamed.
Because he was the burly demon cultivator who had previously said that he wished he could bring his clan's magic weapon to kill Lu Qingshan.
He was stopped by the older generation of demon cultivators in the clan and did not leave the city to hunt down Lu Qingshan, who was "at the end of his strength". He was originally filled with regret, but now he was only filled with fear, knowing that his previous words were too ignorant of the immensity of the world.
This is not a spent force at all; he is clearly a vicious and ruthless madman, the most evil person ever seen.
Lu Qingshan's move was too crazy, and the aftermath of the heavenly tribulation was too fierce, which scared him out of his wits!
whoosh!
Amidst the heavy lightning and rumbling thunder, a flash of sword light appeared and directly smashed his head, taking away his life, anger and fear!
It’s Lu Qingshan’s Lieque.
After clearing out the "cannon fodder" around him, Lu Qingshan did not choose to attack those demon lords again.
Because those demon lords are very powerful and too difficult to deal with, even if they can be killed, it will take some effort, which is not cost-effective!
He turned his attention to the major royal palaces in Futu King City.
Before coming, Lu Qingshan had already memorized the map of Futu Royal City in detail and knew the location of each royal palace, so his goal was clear.
He knew very well that although the demon cultivators in the palace were not at a high level of cultivation, many of them were of noble blood and had extremely high status. If they were all killed, it would drive the demons crazy and run wild.
The gathering place of these geniuses was exactly one of the royal palaces, which fortunately became Lu Qingshan’s first target.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lieque was swaying back and forth in the palace, killing many people in succession, and none of them were ordinary people.
Although Lu Qingshan went on a killing spree at the Golden Sun Fruit Fair and almost wiped out the younger generation of the Black Armor Domain, there were still some young elites of the Demon Tribe who did not attend the fruit fair for various reasons and thus survived.
Lu Qingshan did not show favoritism and was now sending these surviving geniuses and demon cultivators to meet their peers so that they would not be lonely in the underworld and could continue to compete!
…
Boom!
Nine tornado-like bolts of lightning emerged from the thundercloud and landed.
These nine thunders were deep purple in color. Even in the purple sea of thunder, they still stood out from the crowd with an outstanding purple color.
They all struck Lu Qingshan, it was the second wave of thunder tribulation of the seventy-nine heavenly tribulations.
Lu Qingshan had already unfolded the sword domain to strengthen himself.
A purple-gold field formed around him, with purple-gold light shining, counteracting the purple lightning.
It was just that due to the previous continuous pursuit battles and encounters, the sword energy accumulated in the sword domain had long been consumed and seemed a little thin.
Lu Qingshan summoned Wangchuan and hung it above his head to help him overcome the tribulation.
Wangchuan is a sword forged by the will of the world and is an indestructible sword.
The heavenly tribulation that is extremely terrifying to others is of no threat to Wangchuan and can help him share some of the power of the heavenly tribulation.
Not only that, Lu Qingshan also offered peach blossoms.
Because he discovered that under the baptism of the heavenly calamity, the peach blossoms were also transforming and had a certain Taoist charm.
He understood that this was a necessary step in order for it to evolve into a Taoist weapon.
Some powerful physical cultivators can use the baptism of heavenly tribulation to temper their bodies. Although Lu Qingshan cannot do it, he can use the heavenly tribulation to temper his natal sword.
Nine huge dark purple thunderbolts, possessing unimaginable power, were bombarding Lu Qingshan together.
They entered the purple-gold sword domain, and although their power was weakened by the sword domain, they were still terrifying.
Lu Qingshan's will was as strong as iron. He let out a long roar towards the sky, then slashed upwards with the Dragon Bird in his hand. A green snake grew out of the sword, which swelled in the wind, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards the nine heavenly tribulations.
boom!
The green snake created by the sword energy was almost shattered by the bombardment of the heavenly calamity, and was almost torn into pieces, but it finally took on the nine heavenly thunders.
However, there was no buffer time at all for Lu Qingshan.
It seemed that the heavenly calamity would not be satisfied unless it killed Lu Qingshan.
The third wave of thunder tribulation, another nine bolts of lightning struck down.
The heavenly calamity is far from over. It is getting more and more severe and more and more terrifying.
…
Lu Qingshan continued to fight against the thunder and lightning while keeping moving.
He wanted to bring the heavenly calamity to the entire Futu King City, turning this mighty city into a mess.
During this time, he also saw countless corpses of demon cultivators. Only a small number of them died from Lieque, while most of them were affected by the heavenly calamity and turned into charcoal.
Lu Qingshan was overcoming tribulations and proving his truth, while the demon cultivators were constantly dying.
I don’t know how many demon cultivators died, it’s simply impossible to count.
In addition, Lu Qingshan also met several demon lords who had already escaped from their original areas, dispersed, and each went through their own heavenly tribulations.
This is because they are afraid of being affected, implicated, and influenced.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingshan laughed out loud. Although his blood boiled due to the thunder tribulation, he was still full of energy and rushed towards a high-level demon lord.
"It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. My fellow Taoist is also going through the tribulation, why don't we join together!"
"Don't come over here..." The high-level demon lord was terrified.
As a demon, he had never experienced a heavenly tribulation. Although relying on his powerful combat power and divine body, it should not be a problem for him to survive this tribulation, but if Lu Qingshan’s seven or nine heavenly tribulations were added, he would not be able to withstand it!
boom!
It was at this moment that the fifth wave of heavenly calamity descended, it was so terrifying that it was enough to destroy everything.
Their target is Lu Qingshan, but the problem is that this high-level demon lord is so close to Lu Qingshan now, how could he not be affected?
Even Lu Qingshan would find it very difficult to resist this kind of natural disaster, and he would be injured and pay a price.
Although this high-level demon lord is powerful, how can he remain safe and sound after being hit by two heavenly tribulations?
Bang!
After nine heavenly thunders, the high-level demon lord roared in anger, but was powerless to save the situation. Under the five thunders, the protective magic weapon on his body broke, and his body turned into powder, disappearing forever in the world.
However, Lu Qingshan was not feeling well either.
He diverted the trouble to others and took the initiative to provoke a high-level demon lord who was undergoing a tribulation. Likewise, he would also be affected by the tribulation that the high-level demon lord was going through.
Continuous heavenly calamities struck him, making him sway like a lotus leaf in the wind.
But while Lu Qingshan was struggling against the heavenly calamity, he was still constantly moving around, carrying the vast heavenly calamity with him, and wherever he went, he would bring about a bloody storm.
In this way, he framed nearly ten Demon Lords in succession. They were all going through their own heavenly tribulations and had no spare energy to fight against the seventy-nine heavenly tribulations he brought.
To be honest, he could kill these nearly ten Demon Lords head-on, but the prerequisite was that he couldn't do it in a place like Futu King City.
Because although his own combat power is strong, his strength is ultimately limited, and two fists cannot beat four hands. With a mortal body, facing numerous enemies, he is bound to be exhausted and lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.
Even top demon lords may not dare to kill enemies in Futu King City because they will be besieged and left behind.
But the heavenly calamity is different. Its power comes from heaven and is infinite. It keeps falling down like countless heavenly soldiers and generals.
With the help of the power of the heavenly tribulation, Lu Qingshan accomplished something that even the top demon lords might not be able to do.
It can be said that Lu Qingshan used the heavenly tribulation to its fullest extent.
"You will not die a good death. Either you die under the heavenly calamity, or you will be punished after the heavenly calamity!" Another middle-level demon lord who was targeted by Lu Qingshan was completely desperate and said these words before he was struck to death by the heavenly calamity.
At this moment, the mighty heavenly calamity has calmed down a lot compared to the beginning.
This is because basically all the demon cultivators who were involved in the heavenly tribulation have already passed their respective tribulations—either died in the tribulation or successfully passed it.
Only Lu Qingshan's heavenly tribulation has not ended yet, and has entered the most terrifying stage.
He also had to stop and start fighting with all his might.
Eighteen consecutive thunderbolts fell from the sky.
These thunders were no longer deep purple, but four colors, namely red, yellow, green and blue, representing the four kinds of heavenly punishments: earth, wind, water and fire. The thunder shook the nine heavens, and its power was much greater than that of ordinary thunders, submerging Lu Qingshan's figure and striking him continuously.
From afar, the void where Lu Qingshan was located was boiling, which was extremely terrifying.
"Kill him!" The Demon Lord, who had survived the heavenly tribulation, could not just stand by and watch. He had to fight against the aftermath of Lu Qingshan's heavenly tribulation. He became even more annoyed and cursed viciously.
Lu Qingshan was fully focused and had already taken back Lieque, using the thunder sword to fight against the heavenly calamity.
He fought back with all his might, but his body was bleeding. The pressure of the thunder tribulation made his bones creak and almost break. One can imagine how great the pressure was.
After all, in his heyday, he consumed a huge amount of energy when facing the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations.
His condition was so bad now, and the intensity of the seven-nine heavenly tribulation was much greater than that of the six-nine heavenly tribulation. Even Lu Qingshan felt it was too difficult.
puff!
Lu Qingshan vomited blood, staining his clothes red. His whole body was in tatters. His magic power, which was almost exhausted, was rapidly consumed and almost reached the bottom.
But his eyes were still deep and shining, standing in the void, extremely calm and peaceful.
"If I don't use some trump cards, I will die in the thunder tribulation today."
Lu Qingshan knew it clearly.
"The power of mountains and seas!"
Without any psychological burden, he performed forbidden Taoist magic in the most prosperous place in the Black Armor Domain.
Amid the rumbling thunder, the sound of the earth cracking seemed somewhat insignificant, but the power of the mountains and seas it brought was still majestic and powerful.
A vast ocean of power surged through Lu Qingshan’s already dried up dantian and meridians.
Lu Qingshan stood up and faced the last wave of thunder.
Sixty-three four-symbol heavenly thunders struck down in succession, causing the demon lords to change color. One can imagine how terrifying it was.
when!
Wangchuan was struck away, although it was not damaged.
The peach blossom was not so strong. It was damaged and had slight cracks, causing Lu Qingshan to spit blood again.
However, Lu Qingshan was not worried, because Taohua's immortal magical power gave it the ability to heal itself. Although it was not as good as Wangchuan's indestructibility, it was equivalent to buying insurance.
Lu Qingshan held Lieque in his hand, struggling against the natural disaster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time a bolt of thunder struck, the heaven and earth would shake. In the huge royal city, there were no intact buildings left; all were destroyed.
At least until now, Futu King City no longer exists as Lu Qingshan wished.
In the end, Lu Qingshan had many broken bones all over his body, and his blood was spilled. His face was pale, but he still persevered.
Seventy-nine sixty-three of the most terrifying four-symbol heavenly thunders all struck, and the seventy-nine heavenly tribulations came to an end.
The terrifying scene dissipated.
Lu Qingshan dragged his broken body and appeared in the sky above Futu King City, appearing in the eyes of a group of demon cultivators.
He survived the catastrophe, but he was also exhausted and miserable.
The surviving demon cultivators were angry, and a group of demon lords surrounded them. They all looked extremely embarrassed, but also full of murderous intent.
They finally made it through and were able to kill Lu Qingshan with their own hands.
But they found that Lu Qingshan's gaze was even more contemptuous than before.
This made the demon lords who wanted revenge feel angry and a little nervous.
What's that look?
No matter how you look at it, there doesn't seem to be any tension or worry at all. Instead, he seems to be confident and sure of winning?
Where does this confidence come from?
The next moment, the magic cultivators’ confusion was answered.
The clouds have dispersed, the rain has stopped, and the disaster has ended.
The gifts from heaven and earth also come along.
Strands of pure power of heaven and earth flowed from the void and then poured into Lu Qingshan's body.
The power of heaven and earth is so strong that it takes a certain amount of time for ordinary cultivators to absorb it.
However, as soon as Lu Qingshan's Great Summer Sutra was activated, the power of heaven and earth was quickly refined.
The power of the perfect Taoist foundation is undoubtedly demonstrated, and it possesses a speed of absorbing and converting magic power that is unmatched by others.
"After a cultivator successfully overcomes the tribulation, he will undergo a transformation!" the demon lords said with difficulty, finally remembering this matter.
…
Yes, under the infusion of the power of heaven and earth, at this moment, Lu Qingshan's magic power is surging, vitality is flowing, his injuries are getting better, and everything is recovering.
While recovering, it is also transforming and becoming stronger.
Just like a dry plant that is irrigated by spring water, it immediately begins to grow vigorously.
Within his body, the mighty magic power rushed like a great river. The power was majestic and overwhelming. The strongest life essence was stimulated and surged.
The wounds on the body were healing, and the broken bones were being nourished and reconnected.
Rumble.
A powerful wave surged out from Lu Qingshan's body, then swept around like a hurricane, causing the clouds to roll!
The purple-gold lotus mark between his eyebrows appeared, shining brighter and brighter.
Even more dazzling than the divine light is the row of tiny firefly characters that flow down like a waterfall in front of the eyes.
"You have successfully survived the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations!"
"Your cultivation has been improved: from the sixth calamity realm to the seventh calamity realm!"
"You have entered the realm of breaking limits, and your energy has been greatly improved. The upper limit of your energy has increased by 600,000!"
"Your soul has been upgraded, spiritual awareness +1000!"
"Issuing Eight Tribulations Realm advancement tasks..."
