Dense sword energy appeared on the tip of Lu Qingshan's sword, and then it all surged out like a flood.
There was also a green snake swelled up in the wind above it, which rushed out and leaped out in an instant.
The green snake's lantern-like eyes flickered with spiritual light, as if it were a living thing.
" What?!" Ming Zun was shocked. He had never seen such a strange trick before. It seemed to turn decay into magic and death into life.
Moreover, Lu Qingshan's speed was too fast, making him feel a sense of danger.
Even though the Life Lord's innate magic weapon was the Ancient Starlight Shield, which was extremely good at defense and indestructible, it was still awe-inspiring at this moment.
He didn't want to withstand this attack head-on, so he kept changing positions in an attempt to avoid it.
After all, the weapon in the opponent's hand is the innate magic weapon of their clan's holy ancestor, the Demon Lord Manghuang, and it must be stronger than the ancient starlight shield that he had bred.
Mingzun found a way out for himself in his heart.
But Lu Qingshan's speed was too fast. What was even more terrifying was that when the sword was clearly still some distance away from him, it actually ignored the spatial distance and directly killed him.
Secret Sword: Spring Breeze Returns!
In an instant, Ming Zun was submerged in the sword energy, entangled by the green snake, and pointed at by the sword.
In a hurry, he could only hurriedly raise his shield to block the layers of sword energy. At the same time, his divine and demonic body burst out with brilliant light and powerful power, shaking away the green snake. However, Lu Qingshan's sword had already slashed through his head and directly into his head.
Bang!
However, what was surprising was that even though his head was hit and bleeding, Ming Zun was not fatally injured. With a crisp sound of metal and stone, his skull was intact.
Although the divine and demonic body cultivated by Ming Zun is not as strong as Chi Zun's Thousand Transformations Divine Body, it is by no means an easy task to kill him.
whoosh!
Lu Qingshan held the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand, drawing a terrifying trajectory. The sword blade was sharp and shining, and he slashed towards the Lord of Life again.
With another bang, Mingzun's body was knocked over.
But even though he was in such an embarrassing situation, he could still suppress his desire to attack Lu Qingshan.
Because he knew that Lu Qingshan's eight or nine heavenly tribulations had not yet ended. If he counterattacked at this moment, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Moreover, since the heavenly tribulation has not yet ended, Lu Qingshan's offensive will not last long.
Ming Zun was clear about this, and Lu Qingshan naturally understood it as well.
Therefore, his attacks became more rapid and fierce, determined to seize this rare opportunity and inflict more injuries on Ming Zun.
when!
Lu Qingshan swung his sword fiercely again, and Ming Zun raised the ancient shield to block it in time. The ancient shield collided with the demon-suppressing weapon, making a sound of metal and stone.
Then, Ming Zun used the force to retreat hundreds of feet and flew into the sky.
Not only that, the wound on Ming Zun's head that was deep enough to see the bone was healing, and his Qi was recovering. Although he was still passive, there was no sign of decline.
“Hehe…” Ming Zun sneered, “The divine body I cultivate is the Greedy Demon Body. Its defense is indeed not as good as Chi Zun’s Thousand Changes Divine Body, but in terms of recovery ability, it can be ranked in the top three among the ninety-nine divine bodies of my demon race.”
Lu Qingshan frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The top demon lords of this level are indeed difficult to deal with.
He couldn't help but remain silent. In fact, the main reason was that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. Otherwise, for him, the divine and demonic body that focused on recovery ability was just restrained by him.
If Lu Qingshan was a sword immortal at this time, he could definitely kill the Lord of Life.
"Your chance ends here." At this time, Ming Zun seemed to have discovered something and suddenly spoke.
Buzz!
An aura that made Lu Qingshan's heart palpitate arose from the sky above.
"The last wave of heavenly tribulation is coming..." Lu Qingshan suddenly realized something, his eyes lit up, and he looked up to the sky.
Sure enough, the calamity clouds that had just subsided began to roll again, and amid the thunder, it was as if thousands of troops were lined up in battle array.
boom!
The next moment, thunder had already descended.
It was no longer a wave of thunder that won by numbers like the previous one. This time, only one bolt of lightning fell, interweaving with electric light, dark purple and black in color, and covered with runes.
"Come!"
Lu Qingshan had to give up his attack on Ming Zun, and with a loud shout, he rushed towards the thunder.
This time, he could no longer destroy the thunder tribulation in an instant like he did before.
Because this thunder seemed to be a living enemy, it was entangled with him, and it could even penetrate his body and baptize his soul.
This time's thunder tribulation has the attributes of a soul attack.
However, Lu Qingshan's soul realm has always been outstanding, far ahead of his cultivation, and he reached the calamity realm early.
Therefore, the soul is not afraid of the test of the soul calamity, and even uses it to sharpen the divine consciousness and make it more refined.
As his soul became more refined and more powerful, a strange phenomenon occurred in Lu Qingshan's head. A large amount of divine light bloomed and was shrouded in glory.
This is because his spirit is too strong, and divine light shines through his bones.
"The so-called soul tribulation, for me, is to help me complete my transformation." Lu Qingshan found that his soul was becoming more and more condensed. Although there were also unspeakable intense pains, it was nothing given his strong will.
Lu Qingshan's body and soul suffered the tribulation at the same time.
Compared with the tribulation of the soul, the tribulation of the physical body undoubtedly brought much greater pressure to Lu Qingshan.
This is caused by the fact that the soul realm is higher than the cultivation realm.
Lu Qingshan was entangled with the thunder and fought against it.
boom!
He was struck by the thunder and flew away, but the thunder was relentless and quickly caught up with him, determined to smash his body into pieces.
How could Lu Qingshan let him get his wish? The source of life continued to flow out, turning into magic power to face the thunder.
"Drinking poison to quench thirst." Ming Zun said sarcastically, while raising his shield to block another shot of Lieque.
Yes, even in the face of such a dangerous thunder tribulation, Lu Qingshan was still able to spare some of his strength to entangle the Lord of Life.
Although it was no longer as thrilling as before, it was enough to make Ming Zun feel annoyed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunder struck Lu Qingshan again and again, and Lie Que shot at Ming Zun again and again, and the sounds came one after another.
Bang!
Lu Qingshan slashed horizontally and finally dispersed the lightning that seemed to come alive, but the second loud noise was heard again.
From the calamity clouds, two more bolts of lightning covered with runes swooped down, possessing unimaginable power.
However, Lu Qingshan had already prepared himself mentally. He looked up to the sky and howled, shaking his life swords to affect the thunder tribulation...
When the seven lightning bolts fell together for the seventh time, even with Lu Qingshan's strength, the situation became extremely difficult.
In order to deal with this ferocious thunder tribulation and to maintain the suppression of the Lord of Life, his life source was consumed too quickly.
He is less than fifty years old, which means that for a cultivator in the Seventh Tribulation Realm, there is almost no loss in the life essence.
But now, that abundant source of life is less than 50%.
In other words, he had lost 20% of his life essence since he had overcome the tribulation, which was almost as much as the amount he lost when he defeated Luo Qiantuo with that sword.
But Lu Qingshan still managed to use the power of Jianshenbuhua to call upon the origin of life and transformed it into magic power to fight against the seven thunder tribulations.
"It's almost there... There will only be eight waves of eight or nine heavenly tribulations, and this is already the second to last wave." Lu Qingshan said secretly in his heart.
In this seventh wave of heavenly tribulation, he lost half of his life essence before he was able to survive.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
There was no room for maneuver. The last wave of eight thunderbolts struck down, which was more terrifying than all the thunderbolts he had experienced before. Lu Qingshan could not avoid being injured. His body was covered in blood and was pierced by the thunderbolts in dozens of places. One of the thunderbolts even almost pierced through his dantian.
At this point, Lu Qingshan felt a little scared.
But in the end he gritted his teeth and refused to give up. He used Wangchuan's Blue Sky Sword to heal his injuries while unleashing his potential, further exhausting his own life source in exchange for more powerful magic power to fight against the thunder.
Finally, after consuming about 10% of his life source, this last wave of thunder was finally dispersed by him.
"It's finally over." The one who finally breathed a sigh of relief was not Lu Qingshan, but Sanzun and Xia Daoyun.
Chi Zun and Ming Zun breathed a sigh of relief because the heavenly calamity had dissipated and they no longer had to worry about attacking Lu Qingshan.
Zhan Zun breathed a sigh of relief because Lu Qingshan's heavenly tribulation had ended, and his own tribulation had also ended accordingly.
Xia Daoyun was worried about Lu Qingshan's situation. If the heavenly calamity did not dissipate, Xia Daoyun was worried that Lu Qingshan might not be able to hold on.
"Hmm? That's..."
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, their hearts skipped a beat and they subconsciously looked up in surprise.
As the last wave of thunder was shattered by Lu Qingshan, the calamity clouds in the sky had dissipated.
But then, dark blue clouds appeared and gathered together inexplicably, forming a human face without facial features under the moonlight.
It looked like an unfinished graffiti by a child, but one could vaguely make out that it was an angry face, overlooking the world... or to be more precise, staring at Lu Qingshan.
A feeling of oppression that cannot be described in words came over me.
Looking at this face, the three of them felt a little breathless.
As the object of human gaze, Lu Qingshan felt oppressed but not afraid.
He knew whose face that was.
So Lu Qingshan raised his head to the sky and faced the faceless face: "I know you want to kill me, but you didn't seize this opportunity... Then continue to be angry, I don't care about your anger towards me."
"Don't be anxious. You still have one chance, the last chance. You must seize it next time."
This sentence is very light and plain, but it contains an indescribable heroic spirit.
Because, these words are spoken to the sky.
In the Tribulation Realm, nine is the maximum number. Lu Qingshan has gone through eight of the nine tribulations, and only one tribulation remains.
That will be Tiandao's last chance.
After the nine tribulations, the sky will be high and birds will fly freely. Even the sky can do nothing to him.
This road is difficult, but as long as he has the sword in his hand, Lu Qingshan has the confidence to keep going.
If the way of heaven blocks your way, then a sword will clear it.
"As for now, give me what I deserve and then get out of here in disgrace." Lu Qingshan laughed.
After overcoming the tribulation, there will be a reward from the power of heaven and earth.
This is the rule of the operation of heaven.
Even if the Heavenly Dao is unwilling, even if Lu Qingshan is rude to it, it cannot violate this rule.
Suddenly, a sound from heaven and earth that cannot be described in words resounded through the sky.
Although I don't know the meaning, I can understand the anger in it.
But in the blink of an eye, the face disappeared, the clouds went away, the stars were shining, and the sky was clear.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of auspicious clouds appeared in the sky and earth, peaceful and sacred.
The power of heaven and earth!
Divine clouds rose up, and the pure and vast power of heaven and earth flowed out from the void and fell down. It was so thick that it looked hazy, filled with a certain Taoist charm.
brush!
All of the power of heaven and earth poured into Lu Qingshan's body like a waterfall, sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness and entering his dantian.
At this moment, it seemed as if countless clear springs were flowing through his body, making Lu Qingshan feel peaceful and ethereal.
The power of heaven and earth obtained after going through eight or nine heavenly tribulations is extraordinary, and all contain a certain trajectory of Tao.
The next moment, Lu Qingshan's bones creaked, and the injuries on his body began to recover at a speed even more exaggerated than that of the Greedy Demon Body of the Life Lord.
Not only did he recover from the injuries caused by the recent tribulation, but also from the earlier battle with Luo Qiantuo.
Of course, only the injuries are recovered, and the lost life source cannot be restored.
However, the improvement of realm will make Lu Qingshan's life source stronger, which will result in a smaller proportion of the previously lost life source.
Just now, the amount of Lu Qingshan's life essence that had been lost had reached a terrifying 65% , but now, it suddenly shrank to about 50%.
This is because the amount of loss has not changed, but the total amount has increased.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan's soul was like a golden sun, shining brightly and bursting out of his head.
At the same time, the purple-gold lotus between his eyebrows flickered more and more, and the purple-gold color became deeper.
Lu Qingshan's potential surged and he fully recovered.
To survive the tribulation is what every practitioner dreams of.
Although it is difficult, every time you survive a natural disaster, it is like being reborn. Not only will your strength be enhanced, but the essence of your life will also be transformed.
The more difficult the calamity you encounter, the more obvious the transformation you will achieve after overcoming it.
Lu Qingshan’s eight or nine heavenly tribulations were the most powerful eight or nine heavenly tribulations, and therefore the power of heaven and earth he obtained was also the most powerful.
The power of heaven and earth enveloped him like a waterfall, making him shine as brightly as a statue of a god.
Although the transformation was huge, the whole process was extremely fast.
The next moment, Lu Qingshan had already refined and absorbed the power of heaven and earth and completed his transformation.
brush!
He opened his eyes, his white hair dancing in the wind, and his eyes were clear and bright.
Lu Qingshan stood quietly in this world, and now he had a completely different feeling about the world.
This is a new realm.
And in front of his eyes, small firefly words that only he could see were flashing wildly.
"You have successfully survived the Eight or Nine Heavenly Tribulations!"
"Your cultivation has been improved: from the seventh calamity realm to the eighth calamity realm!"
"This state belongs to the realm of breaking limits, so the Yuan force is greatly improved, and the upper limit of Yuan force is increased by 60w!"
"Your soul has been upgraded, spiritual awareness +1000!"
"Your Yuanshen realm has reached the late stage of the calamity realm!"
"Issuing Nine Tribulations Realm advancement tasks..."
