Chapter 1647
Horror
Without hesitation, Li Zhirui seized the opportunity, left the space, and returned to the void.
The moment he appeared, the ferocious beast noticed his presence and immediately looked over.
"Ok?"
At first, it just felt strange. Didn't this person run away? How come he suddenly reappeared after hundreds of years?
It was only then that I realized that the other party had not fled at all, but had used some means to hide in the same spot.
But what it couldn't understand was that it had already turned the surroundings upside down and even used its supernatural powers to bombard that void, so why hadn't the other party revealed itself?
No matter what the ferocious beast thought, it would be impossible for it to guess that Li Zhirui had a mysterious personal space.
"Pity……"
The ferocious beast sighed with some regret, then withdrew its gaze, for its most important task now was to overcome the Golden Immortal Tribulation before it, rather than being distracted by anything else.
Therefore, it must ensure that it is always in a perfect and undamaged state.
Therefore, it did not take action against Li Zhirui, but let him leave.
To the beast's surprise, it did not flee immediately, but stood outside the range of the lightning tribulation, seemingly wanting to observe the upcoming tribulation.
As for whether the other party would interfere to avenge the previous grudge? It wasn't too worried, because if the other party really did that, it could easily kill it before it died!
This demonstrates its absolute confidence in its own strength! And it also gave it the opportunity to acquire the secret technique.
Li Zhirui was certainly not foolish enough to do something that would harm others and himself. So he stayed quietly in place, intently observing the impending tribulation of lightning.
boom--
When the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck out from the tribulation clouds, its bright and dazzling light, like a silver spear, pierced through the dim void and rushed straight towards the ferocious beast with unstoppable force.
"Roar!"
The ferocious beast raised its head and roared. It wasn't out of fear, but rather the excitement of finally getting what it had been waiting for!
It stretched out its giant hand, a burst of fire appearing in its palm, and without any hesitation, slammed it directly into the tribulation lightning.
boom!
The moment the lightning and fire collided, a deafening roar erupted, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards, creating waves.
The ferocious beast remained firmly in place, but the lightning bolt had vanished without a trace.
Upon seeing this scene, Li Zhirui's expression changed drastically. Even when he was at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, undergoing tribulation to break through to the Profound Immortal realm, he dared not make such a move!
Even though he was far enough away, he could still feel the terrifying power of the tribulation lightning!
If it were him, it would probably take a lot of effort to counteract it.
But this ferocious beast dispersed the tribulation lightning with just one slap. To say it was easy would be an understatement, and it itself was not harmed at all.
"Just how terrifying is its power...?"
A sense of relief welled up in Li Zhirui's heart. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly enough to dodge the attack; otherwise, he would probably have lost his life.
At the same time, the second bolt of tribulation lightning struck down fiercely from the tribulation clouds, its power even greater, appearing to be at least twice as strong!
He couldn't help but think, 'This is only the second tribulation lightning strike, and its power is already so formidable. Won't the subsequent tribulation lightning strikes be even more outrageous?'
A lightning tribulation at the Golden Immortal level is far too terrifying!
Li Zhirui had this feeling, which was related to his current cultivation level. The gap between the mid-stage Xuanxian and the perfect Xuanxian was enormous!
Therefore, these tribulation lightning bolts were extremely terrifying to him, and had gradually exceeded his tolerance.
But for that ferocious beast, it was still no problem!
It raised its giant hand again, preparing an attack in its palm, and even launched an attack before the tribulation lightning could hit it.
The aftershocks of the attack were creating increasingly large disturbances in the void, and perhaps in a while, they would unleash a chaotic wave.
In Li Zhirui's view, so far, the ferocious beast has only mobilized more magic power and used stronger strength to deal with the situation, without using any special methods or supernatural powers.
It wasn't until the fourth lightning bolt struck that the ferocious beast changed its approach, no longer resorting to simple attacks, but instead preparing a divine power!
"raging--"
In an instant, a sea of fire appeared in the void. When the tribulation lightning entered the sea of fire, the flames became even more intense, as if they were trying to forcibly refine the tribulation lightning.
In the end, the sea of fire still existed, but the tribulation lightning was reduced to ashes.
This supernatural ability successfully blocked two lightning bolts, and even after refining the fifth lightning bolt, it still retained a certain power.
"This strength is simply too great..." Li Zhirui said with sincere admiration.
So far, five lightning bolts have been unleashed, each one incredibly powerful. Yet, even so, they haven't managed to force out much of the beast's strength, nor have they inflicted any damage.
It wasn't until the sixth lightning bolt struck that the ferocious beast seemed to take things more seriously, and it used a new divine power to fight against the lightning.
From that point on, the power of the tribulation lightning became increasingly terrifying. The aura emanating from the tribulation lightning alone caused the chaotic spiritual energy in this void to boil.
Li Zhirui, who was quite far away, retreated again to avoid being affected by the lingering effects.
Even as the power of the tribulation lightning continued to increase, the ferocious beast remained unharmed and in excellent condition. Its aura only slightly decreased due to the multiple attacks it had launched.
……
One bolt of lightning after another fell without any pause, giving the ferocious beast no chance to catch its breath or recover.
Even so, it did not cause it any damage.
The only change is that the ferocious beasts are no longer so easy to deal with; they can no longer block the tribulation lightning with just one supernatural power.
In the eyes of bystander Li Zhirui, it seemed a little flustered and no longer as calm as before.
But seeing that it was still in such good condition, he was very surprised. You have to know that these were the last two or three lightning bolts of the Golden Immortal level tribulation!
Its power slightly exceeded that of the Xuanxian realm, yet it could still withstand it with relative ease.
"I wonder how terrifying the final tribulation lightning will be." A look of curiosity appeared on his face, while he was already prepared to leave at any time.
Because once the lightning tribulation is over, the remaining inner demon tribulation cannot be seen by outsiders.
Besides, there's nothing interesting about the inner demon tribulation. After all, no matter what realm you're in, the inner demon always tries to corrupt your soul. The only thing that changes is the strength of the inner demon.
Once the inner demon tribulation is overcome and the lightning tribulation dissipates, the ferocious beast is very likely to attack Li Zhirui immediately!
How could it not be curious about the 'secret method' that allows it to evade its search?
Given the chance, who wouldn't want to master this incredibly effective life-saving technique?
……
Unlike the previous eight lightning bolts that fell continuously without giving anyone a chance to breathe, this last lightning bolt did not erupt immediately. Instead, it brewed in the tribulation clouds for a long time, long enough to make people feel uneasy.
After an unknown period of time, the final bolt of lightning finally struck.
Click!
To everyone's surprise, this tribulation lightning, which had been brewing for a long time, lacked the imposing momentum of the previous tribulation lightning. It looked rather small and unremarkable, which was quite unexpected.
But the moment it appeared, a sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out in the void! Li Zhirui looked in the direction of the sound and was horrified to find that cracks had appeared in the space, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.
"It can actually shake the very space of the void!"
This situation means that the power of this tribulation lightning has far exceeded the upper limit that the void at the Xuanxian level can withstand, and has completely reached the level of the Jinxian level.
The tribulation lightning did not make a grand spectacle, but the strange phenomena it caused were even more terrifying than those of the previous tribulation lightning.
The ferocious beast facing the tribulation lightning felt immense pressure. Its massive body became tiny and extremely tense, and a sense of fear and dread arose in its heart.
Roar!
But the ferocious beast immediately reacted, roaring angrily to dispel these negative emotions, while also preparing to face the final tribulation lightning.
In an instant, the surrounding void burst into flames, with various spiritual fires mixed in, creating a colorful and dazzling sea of flowers.
The lightning bolt, which looked to be only a few inches in size, exploded completely the moment it came into contact with the sea of fire!
Roar!
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a thunderous dragon hundreds of feet long, roaring to the sky, attempting to break free of the sea of fire and attack the ferocious beast.
"The tribulation lightning has taken human form..."
Li Zhirui stared at the scene before him in disbelief. He had only ever seen such a thing in ancient books, and even thought it was some kind of legend.
But to his utter surprise, many years later, he witnessed the rarest and most terrifying tribulation lightning in the void!
No wonder cracks appeared in the void when the tribulation lightning appeared.
"Can it withstand the tribulation of transformation lightning?"
Li Zhirui looked at the scene in the distance with curiosity, eager to know who the final victor would be.
The ferocious beast had already started fighting with the tribulation lightning. The two sides were killing and biting each other. Their methods were very simple and brutal, but also direct and bloody.
The ferocious beast, which had been unscathed until now, was covered in wounds and its aura had plummeted after fighting the Transformation Lightning Tribulation.
Currently, it appears to be at a disadvantage.
"How dare a mere inanimate object be so insolent!"
The ferocious beast roared, and its body, which was already as large as a small mountain, grew rapidly, transforming into an enormous behemoth in just a few breaths.
With a snap, it actually stepped on the tribulation lightning and frantically dissipated its power.
Its mind was clear; its purpose was to survive the great calamity, not to actually wage war against some creature.
But the final tribulation lightning, which had even transformed into a lightning dragon, was not something that could be easily dealt with.
……
A ferocious beast and a lightning bolt clashed and fought, their commotion disturbing the peace of this void.
The entire fight was a feast for the eyes of Li Zhirui, who was watching from a distance. He had never expected it to be so exciting and thrilling.
As for who will win and who will lose? He can't tell yet.
And who does he want to win? He certainly hopes for a draw so that he can profit from the damage!
The corpse of a ferocious beast at the peak of the Xuanxian realm alone is already quite valuable, not to mention the tribulation lightning that may have left behind some spiritual creatures.
The latter's value was beyond Li Zhirui's wildest imagination!
Because this is very likely the only existence in the void.
Although the possibility of mutual destruction is very small, after all, this is a ferocious beast with intelligence and can replenish its strength.
What about the tribulation lightning? It's impossible for it to recover. The more energy it consumes, the weaker it becomes.
After an unknown amount of time, the lightning flashing around the Thunder Dragon had become dim and lifeless, and the aura emanating from its body was extremely weak. In this state, it was likely that it could not unleash much of its strength.
The beast was in no better condition; it was covered in blood, with hardly a patch of intact skin visible.
The battle has reached its final crucial moment, and the outcome is about to be decided.
With a bang, the ferocious beast grew larger once again, and its aura surged instantly, as if it had returned to the beginning of the battle.
Once separated from the tribulation clouds, the tribulation lightning becomes like a rootless duckweed, unable to replenish its energy.
It seems the ferocious beast is about to overcome the tribulation lightning and successfully pass through the tribulation.
But at the last moment, the tribulation lightning did not give up. Instead, it concentrated all its remaining power and unleashed a dazzling bolt of lightning that shot towards the ferocious beast.
With a loud bang, lightning exploded, and because they were quite close, the ferocious beast was caught in it.
'Has it fallen?'
Li Zhirui looked at the center of the lightning tribulation with both anticipation and regret. After a while, the lightning dissipated, and a huge figure slowly emerged.
The tribulation lightning ultimately failed!
The ferocious beast is still alive, but its current state is extremely miserable, as half of its body has been blown off.
'Should we make our move now?'
A fierce glint flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. Its current state was extremely poor. Even though it was very powerful before, after being consumed by a Golden Immortal-level lightning tribulation and fighting against the final Transformation Lightning Tribulation, its current strength was probably less than 20%!
If he succeeds, he will obtain a corpse that is at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, or even one foot in the threshold of the Jinxian realm.
But just as he had the idea and was about to take action, a strong warning of danger suddenly erupted in his mind.
Without a second thought, Li Zhirui immediately slipped into the space.
Then he saw a ball of fire bursting and burning where he had been standing.
"Hmph! You dodged pretty quickly!"
The ferocious beast snorted coldly, but made no other move.
Li Zhirui broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected it to be so sensitive to hostility; it had sensed his thoughts as soon as he uttered them.
Or was it already prepared to take action against him?
He couldn't understand it, but he knew that even in its current miserable state, the ferocious beast was still beyond his reach.
One wrong move and you could get yourself into trouble! (End of Chapter)
