Flashing.
Flashing continuously.
The tiny characters on the screen were flashing violently, as if the computer had crashed due to a problem that was beyond its computing power.
This was not the first time Lu Qingshan had encountered such a situation.
When he was promoted to the Seventh Tribulation Realm, the advancement task to the Eighth Tribulation Realm was delayed for a while before it was finally given.
At that time, he was still worried whether his cultivation had reached the upper limit of "Deep Blue".
But the situation this time is different from that time.
Because the small fiery characters were flickering too violently, as if they would collapse at any time.
Lu Qingshan even began to doubt whether the planners of "Nine Heavens" had never designed the Nine Tribulations Realm advancement mission from the beginning.
This is not groundless speculation.
In the history of the human race, there has never been a record of the appearance of a cultivator in the Ninth Tribulation Realm.
Even those powerful geniuses whose names have been passed down for thousands of years have not been able to reach this realm. Perhaps the game planners have tacitly assumed that it is impossible for players to reach it, so the Nine Tribulations Realm mission has been skipped?
After all, in the previous "Nine Heavens", the individual combat power of the player group has always been incomparable to that of the Tianjiao NPCs.
However, just as Lu Qingshan was having many guesses in his mind, the violently flashing deep blue panel froze at this moment.
Several lines of small golden characters flashed.
"Obtained the Nine Tribulations Realm advanced task: [The road is long and difficult, but if you keep walking you will reach your destination]."
[The road is long and arduous, but if you keep on walking you will reach your destination] (the only fixed task): The road is long and arduous, and you will search for it up and down. There are no other requirements at this stage, and you only need to survive the nine-nine heavenly tribulations.
Note: Having come to this point, who else but God is qualified to test you?
Note: As the ultimate mission in the Tribulation Realm, the form and intensity of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations will be beyond your imagination. Please be fully prepared before going through the Tribulation, as you will only have one chance.
In the last line of these fiery characters, an unprecedented hint appeared.
“Do you want to give up this task? (It is recommended to give up)”
All of this seemed to be telling Lu Qingshan that it should stop here.
The Eight Tribulations Realm has reached the point of despair. Don’t pursue those fearless things anymore, lest you end up with nothing.
However, Lu Qingshan raised his head and once again cast his gaze towards the sky.
He grinned.
If your heart is set on something, why fear the long and difficult road ahead?
Now that we have come this far, even if the road ahead is one of life and death, my heart is set on following it, and I will not regret it even if I die nine times.
"no."
Men, don't break your promises.
The prompt disappears.
The small characters of Yinghuo returned to plainness and became a plain gray, representing incompleteness.
…
Lu Qingshan no longer looked up at the sky, but instead turned his gaze towards the Lord of Life.
"Next, it's my turn and yours." At this moment, Lu Qingshan's smile was unbridled, without any restraint.
The loud laughter resounded through the sky, making Ming Zun gnashing with hatred, but at the same time, a faint sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.
Powerful monks have the ability to act on impulse, and the demon lords naturally have similar sensations.
Although he didn't know the source of the fear, Mingzun sensed the danger.
Lu Qingshan stopped laughing.
"Dao Yun, help me stop Chi Zun and Zhan Zun." Xia Dao Yun received Lu Qingshan's telepathic message at this time.
She didn't ask more questions, firstly because time didn't allow it, and secondly because she trusted Lu Qingshan.
With a clang, Xia Daoyun drew his sword. The sword star shone brightly in the dark night, transforming into sword auras that pointed directly at Chi Zun and Zhan Zun, who had just recovered from the heavenly calamity.
The female sword fairy in green robe looks like a Valkyrie.
I am a man, I cannot lose to you... Lu Qingshan waved his sword, pointed it at Ming Zun, and asked : "Ming Zun, dare you take this sword?"
As if frightened by his aura, the Life Lord, one of the three Lords of the Soldier Demon Clan, did not dare to answer for a moment.
But Lu Qingshan never asked this question for the purpose of getting an answer.
The next moment, with a clear whistle, Lieque lit up from the void and was held in Lu Qingshan's hand.
Lu Qingshan swung out the Lieque sword, seemingly casually, but as soon as the sword came out, it was like a heavenly calamity, unavoidable and unescapable.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still.
Boundless sword light burst out from the Lieque sword, which is known as the sword of the gods. It was no less brilliant than the light of immortals. It seemed to illuminate the sky all at once, so bright that the moonlight was eclipsed and dimmed.
Moon Slash.
Only Yue Zhan can have such a dazzling sword light and such a magnificent spectacle.
Coincidentally, both times Moon Slash was performed, it happened to be at night.
An indescribable powerful force wave spread out, sweeping in all directions, and even the most powerful demon lord would be frightened by it.
"You..." Ming Zun, one of the parties involved, was even more horrified.
The sword light shone, as if it could melt everything, making him afraid.
He let out a long roar and quickly retreated.
"Yingyue Zhan." Lu Qingshan uttered three words lightly.
Even when the eight or nine heavenly tribulations were at their most dangerous, he did not give up his attack on the Lord of Life, all for this one sword.
There was no twenty-day battle, so this sword could not accumulate ten thousand swords like Luo Qiantuo's previous one .
But Ming Zun did not dare to resist, so even with the interference of the heavenly tribulation, Lu Qingshan's sword stacking speed was still far beyond imagination.
Secret Sword: Moon Slash.
Number of charged swords: One thousand two hundred and fifty-six swords.
If Lu Qingshan had not attacked Chi Zun and Ming Zun at the same time in the beginning, causing the target to switch constantly and the number of charged swords to be recalculated all the time, he could even push the number of charged swords to over two thousand.
But that's enough.
The Full Moon Slash is a sword with two hundred times the power.
A sword with two hundred times the power of the Seventh Tribulation Realm.
The power of the Yingyue Slash is only a hundred times greater.
But it is a sword with a hundred times the power of the Eight Tribulations Realm.
The gap between the two is not as big as imagined.
The sword lights surged out together, shining brightly.
The sword light in front had not yet dissipated, and the sword light behind had already covered it, overlapping and compressing together, making the light even more dazzling.
The bright white sword light transformed into a half-full moon and whizzed away.
Whatever it is, it will be shredded.
The space was plowed with deep furrows.
The magic power in Lu Qingshan's body, which had just recovered to its peak, was burning fiercely and boiling completely.
What’s even more terrifying is that there is also divine punishment hidden in the sword light.
Lieque, who had been wandering in the eight or nine heavenly tribulations for a long time, replenished the already exhausted number of heavenly punishments.
Two killer moves were used at the same time.
Even Lu Qingshan himself would find it difficult to resist such a sword.
In his eyes, Ming Zun was already dead.
But Ming Zun was unwilling to die just like that.
He let out a long roar and raised the ancient starlight shield, attracting countless starlight in the moonlit sky.
The ancient shields shine like diamonds, forming a sea of ​​stars.
This is his strongest defense. Even if the Lord of War and the Lord of Life take action, it is difficult to take his life against this move.
However, the moonlight is like water, continuous and endless, and the heavenly punishment helps, making it invincible.
The two complement each other and penetrate everywhere.
The moonlight silently penetrates through the starlight, and the heavenly punishment seeps into the bone marrow and soul, with a deep chill.
"It's not enough, still not enough." Lu Qingshan said softly.
Even if his magic power was restored to its full strength, he was still unable to fully withstand such a sword attack.
But it is understandable that a sword with a hundred times the power is not simply the sum of a hundred swords.
If the magic power is not enough, you have to use the source of life to make up for it.
"Come on." Lu Qingshan has long been accustomed to the loss of the source of life.
As the source of life was extracted, cracks appeared on the body of the Life Lord and blood gushed out.
Not only his body, the sword was destroying every part of him.
The pain coming from the flesh, bone marrow, blood, and deep in the soul made the Life Lord howl.
"I am the Lord of Life, you can't kill me!" He let out a hysterical roar.
In an instant, thousands of red beams of light shot up into the sky from his divine and demonic body.
At this moment, the Lord of Life is also a demon god.
As the beam of light gushed out, his body expanded wildly, squeezing out the lightning, offsetting the moonlight, and even his wounds began to heal with the help of this inexplicably growing power.
Greedy demon body.
"Luo Qiantuo is better than you." Lu Qingshan smiled and gave an evaluation.
His face was dim in the moonlight-like sword light, and his eyes were like flaming coals, shining and focused on Ming Zun.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, his white hair danced wildly, his clothes fluttered like chess pieces, his aura rose like a dragon, as hot as fire, as vast as clouds, and could swallow thousands of miles.
Under the bright moon, he raised the Lieque again.
Lieque uttered long chants, full of excitement and enthusiasm.
The moonlight in the sky gathered together and fell downwards, condensing into a beam that shone on the devil-like Life Lord.
boom!
The face of the Life Lord, which looked like a demon god, was cracked and had a sword mark.
A sword scar that cannot be healed.
The cracks were still extending, starting from the center of the life master's eyebrows, all the way down to the nose, mouth, jaw, neck, chest...
Ming Zun held on tightly to the Ancient Starlight Shield, but his arms began to lose strength.
Finally, with a loud bang, his burly and swollen body of god and demon was cut in half by the sword mark.
