The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 264 Refining the Origin, Tribulation Begins

This matter is being discussed on various forums.

The authorities directly blocked all roads within a 10km radius of Fenglei Mountain.

The internet celebrities and livestreamers who were originally filming near Longhu Mountain were also cleared out immediately.

However, some online celebrities use more professional equipment; they come out, but leave their live-streaming equipment behind.

According to them, the need for live streaming equipment is irrelevant; what matters is that they capitalize on the hype.

So even though people have been evacuated, some equipment is still being used for filming.

Inside a professional live streaming room, the scene on Fenglei Mountain at this moment can be clearly captured.

The number of viewers in this live stream reached a staggering tens of millions.

The gifts just kept coming in.

Gift effects are flying everywhere.

Some people have calculated that gifts given in just one minute can amount to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

This is the terrifying traffic and gifts brought about by terrifying popularity.

Even if you have to split the profits 50/50 with the platform later, you can still earn tens of thousands of yuan per minute!

This explains why many online celebrities flock here to capitalize on the trending topic, with some even willing to forgo their equipment to leave it behind for filming, because it's definitely profitable!

Even if their equipment breaks down, the equipment is only worth a few dollars. The gifts in the live stream for one minute are enough for them to buy a lot of equipment.

And even if their equipment is destroyed by the lightning, their accounts are still there!

Those gifts all belong to them.

The Celestial Master is undergoing tribulation, and may even ascend directly to immortality.

Such a scene is rarely seen throughout history.

After all, how many people throughout history have actually witnessed a person ascending to heaven?

Those who are able to watch the live stream today are truly fortunate.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments: "Thanks to the internet, I've achieved cyber ascension!"

"Damn it, even though I'm not the one undergoing tribulation today, I can still feel the terror of this heavenly tribulation through the screen."

"That was fucking terrifying. I've never heard thunder like that before. In all my years, I've never had thunder this loud."

"Luckily I wasn't there, otherwise I would have been terrified and cried."

"Now I finally understand why so many novels say that cultivating immortality is going against the heavens. This lightning tribulation is truly terrifying. Surviving this kind of lightning tribulation is truly defying the heavens!"

"In the past, when I watched those fantasy dramas, I always felt that the protagonists' tribulations were exaggerated. But now I realize that compared to reality, the dramas are still too conservative."

"Damn, I used to fantasize about cultivating immortality and undergoing tribulation by lightning, but after watching the live stream of a real tribulation by lightning, I've become obedient and will never dare to do it again! Even if I were to cultivate immortality, I wouldn't have the guts to face this kind of tribulation by lightning head-on! Just watching it almost made me wet my pants."

"I've heard that there's a failure rate in undergoing the tribulation of lightning. I wonder if the Celestial Master will succeed?"

"Stop jinxing it! Even though the Celestial Master is a zombie, he's a good person. Can't we hope for something good?"

“It’s not that I don’t think it’s going to work, it’s just a fact. There is indeed a failure rate when undergoing the tribulation of lightning, and I’ve heard that the failure rate is very high. Moreover, it seems that this Ancestral Master perished more than two thousand years ago because he failed to undergo the tribulation of lightning.”

"Huh? No wonder he turned into a zombie. I was wondering how this Celestial Master died. Did he fail to transcend the tribulation more than two thousand years ago?"

"So this is his second tribulation? That's incredible! He failed once, then came back from the dead to try again. That's ruthless!"

……

While these netizens were chatting in the live stream,
Near Fenglei Mountain, Longhu Mountain's car was parked here.

This time, it is the Celestial Master undergoing his tribulation of lightning, which is of paramount importance.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master and the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain also arrived at the scene.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master looked at the churning black clouds in the sky.

Even he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"This... these thunderclouds are terrifying. This tribulation of lightning that the Celestial Master is facing this time is too daunting."

Several high-ranking Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain nearby were also astonished.

"Is this the Great Calamity of the Heavenly Zombies? Just as described in the book, dark clouds are pressing down, obscuring the sun!"

"I feel like any bolt of lightning in these thunderclouds could instantly shred me to pieces. This is the power of the Ancestor."...

The Taoist priests and celestial masters of Longhu Mountain were all shocked.

They had never seen anyone undergo tribulation by lightning before.

Records about transcending the heavenly tribulation exist only in some ancient books from Longhu Mountain.

From ancient times to the present, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce.

Since the Song Dynasty, no one has been able to summon heavenly lightning.

Despite his extraordinary talent and remarkable achievements in Taoist arts at a young age, it is virtually impossible for Xuanzhen Celestial Master to trigger a heavenly tribulation and ascend to immortality in his lifetime.

The fundamental reason is that the spiritual energy is too thin and the overall environment is poor. Unless one is a child of extraordinary destiny, it is impossible to ascend to immortality.

For many generations, no one in Longhu Mountain has ever personally witnessed anyone undergoing this kind of tribulation.

The celestial master is currently undergoing a tribulation known as the Great Calamity of the Heavenly Corpse.

After surviving this tribulation, the Celestial Master's cultivation level will directly change from Earthly Zombie to Celestial Zombie.

The strength of the Heavenly Zombie is basically comparable to the Fusion stage in the human cultivation system.

Reaching the state of unity, one achieves harmony between heaven and man.

In theory, those at the Integration Realm can directly ascend to the Heavenly Realm.

Logically speaking, once the ancestor survives this tribulation, he should be able to ascend directly.

But they don't know whether it's true or not.

But whether what happened afterward is true or false is not important now.

The most important thing right now is whether our ancestor can survive this tribulation.

Master Xuanzhen couldn't help but worry.

Because he knew that this third-generation ancestor had died because he failed to transcend the tribulation.

This is his second time undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation; it remains to be seen whether he will succeed.

……

Outside, countless eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Zombie Calamity on Fenglei Mountain.

On Mount Fenglei, Zhang Tianlu devoured the last trace of the Purple Heaven Demonic Lightning's essence.

He has completely mastered all the power of the Purple Heaven Demon Lightning!
At the same time, Zhang Tianlu, with the help of the Demonic Lightning Source, broke through the last shackle of the Heavenly Zombie Realm and completely stepped into the Heavenly Zombie Realm.

The purplish-black power of the Purple Heaven Demonic Lightning continuously seeped from Zhang Tianlu's skin, sweeping across his entire body.

At the same time, black gas began to continuously emanate from Zhang Tianlu's body.

At this moment, he had almost mastered the art of corpse cultivation.

Zhang Tianlu could feel the earth corpse energy emanating from all directions around his feet.

He absorbed the energy of these earth corpses to make himself stronger.

After recovering to his peak condition, Zhang Tianlu looked up at his Heavenly Zombie Tribulation in the sky.

Zhang Tianlu: "It's time. Once I break through this Heavenly Zombie Tribulation, I will truly enter the Heavenly Zombie Realm. At that time, I will be invincible among mortals!"

Zhang Tianlu took a step forward without hesitation.

If you can get through the great calamity as soon as possible, you can enter the Heavenly Zombie Realm sooner.

He couldn't escape this lightning tribulation anyway, so the best defense was offense.

So Zhang Tianlu took direct action.

His figure stepped directly out of Fenglei Mountain.

Then he threw a backhand punch, sending it hurtling into the sky.

"Heavenly Corpse Fist!!"

This punch was imbued with the aura of a zombie.

Into the tribulation of lightning!
