There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

at the same time.

Feeling slighted, Tianlei resolved to teach the two men below a lesson.

The lightning tribulation was merciless. After the first few strikes, the power of the lightning that struck down became stronger and stronger, and its influence covered the entire Ye family.

Ignoring the cries of the other cultivators from the Ye family, the thick, dragon-like lightning bolt opened its blood-red maw once more. Normally, only cultivators would avoid lightning bolts, but in this situation, they were not given that chance at all. The crowd could only tremble and huddle together behind the elders for warmth.

Some of the bolder disciples even peeked through the gaps in the direction of the two several times.

After all, that was a tribulation lightning strike during the Tribulation Transcending stage.

It should be noted that the cultivation world has not experienced a tribulation for nearly a hundred years. The last time was said to be when Fang Jinxing, the sect leader of Taiyi Sect, was born before these people were even born. Therefore, they can only glean some information from the elders.

But things are different now; now they actually have the opportunity to see a live version.

Now I have something to brag about to people!

"You survived a tribulation lightning strike unscathed with your bare hands. Could you do it?"

It can only be said that they were just young and fearless. If they had just glanced at the elders of their own family standing in front of them, they wouldn't have thought that way. The Ye family elders' old faces were all scrunched up, and their skin was twitching wildly.

The disciples below were young and hadn't experienced much of the beating from the lightning tribulation, but they were different; they had already been traumatized by the lightning tribulation.

It's safe to say that no cultivator who has survived a tribulation of lightning would ever say they wanted to see this thing.

Unless you've been kicked in the head by a donkey.

But the next second, the disciples of the Ye family changed their minds.

A beam of white light tore through the dark thunderclouds, and thunder roared as it broke free of the clouds' restraints, crashing down with devastating force, leaving scorched earth in its wake and destroying almost everything in its path.

In an instant, white light illuminated the entire world, and the sound alone made one's teeth ache.

"here we go again?"

Ye Suian's eyelids twitched. He raised his hand and waved a row of defensive talismans around his side. He took a deep breath and asked Gu Xia with a look of utter despair, "Junior Sister, are you sure this is really okay?"

Recalling the intense, stinging sensation of the lightning strike, his body trembled involuntarily.

It's not that he's a coward; you could find very few people in the entire cultivation world who wouldn't be afraid when facing a tribulation lightning.

Oh, except for Gu Xia, of course.

Who wants to compare themselves to someone who's not human?

Ye Suian said with a devout expression, "If anything goes wrong, you must remember to collect my body."

Gu Xia: "..."

Just how afraid was the third senior brother of dying and having no one to collect his body?

Even at a time like this, he still kept reminding her.

She was speechless. "Third Senior Brother, this is a tribulation of lightning. If something really goes wrong, you won't even be left with ashes. Where am I supposed to collect your corpse?"

Ye Sui'an's expression cracked instantly.

Yes, lightning tribulation can really kill a person, causing their soul to be scattered.

In other words, you won't have to bother finding someone to collect your body when the time comes.

He was overcome with grief.

It's so miserable, it's so miserable.

Defensive talismans and various magical artifacts were placed in front of him, and the thunder roared as it arrived in an instant.

"coming."

Gu Xia took half a step forward, and the dozen or so talismans blocking her way were shattered one after another without pause. The heavenly lightning struck down like a hot knife through butter. She remained calm, gripped her sword tightly, and used the side of the sword to draw most of the lightning tribulation onto herself.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

By the time Annihilation Sword sensed the impending danger, it was too late. He desperately wanted to escape, but he couldn't. All he could do was spit out the little ghosts while cursing, "You damned Gu Xia!!"

"I hate you so much!"

He was incredibly unlucky to have followed Gu Xia. This guy was a madman who acted without any rhyme or reason, summoning heavenly lightning without even giving a warning.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the entire Ye family was affected. The spreading lightning net rippled outwards in all directions, and even the Ye family disciples hiding behind the defensive barrier were not spared. The electric current surged through their bodies, making them numb and causing them to collapse to the ground, unable to get up.

Now both the bold and the timid quieted down.

Because they were all electrocuted.

The head of the Ye family was also dumbfounded.

He glanced around, but he didn't need to look very closely; all he could see were ruins.

First came the demons, those destructive freaks, and then Gu Xia, their demolition team.

He hadn't had time to notice these things before due to the tense situation, but now, after a quick glance, he thought to himself without any expression.

The Ye family will most likely need to rebuild.

However, this thought only flashed through my mind. Compared to these things, Ye Suian's safety was of course more important.

Patriarch Ye waved his hand to brush away the tiny electric currents on his robes. With his high cultivation level, he could see more clearly and was able to see that Gu Xia quickly drew away most of the heavenly lightning that had just struck.

He handled the remaining small portion of the lightning tribulation very well. Although it looked equally terrifying, he had already survived the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, so he could tell at a glance.

The portion of heavenly lightning that struck Ye Suian was roughly equivalent to the power of a Nascent Soul Tribulation.

"Gu Xia, that child, seems to have a very precise grasp of heavenly lightning."

The head of the Ye family seemed to be deep in thought.

Although both sides would be struck by lightning, with Gu Xia mediating, Ye Suian's abilities, plus the numerous talismans and magical artifacts he possessed, made things easier.

It is not difficult to successfully transform into a deity.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoxu glanced at him without making a sound.

He was just criticizing his junior sister a moment ago, but now, not long after, he's started referring to Gu Xia as "that child."

Tsk.

No wonder he's Ye Sui'an's biological father; what a sly face.

Indeed, the primary requirement for becoming the head of these aristocratic families is to have a thick skin.

He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "No one can say they can control heavenly lightning. As long as you get struck many times, you will naturally gain experience."

He knew his junior sister, Gu Xia, who had suffered a lot during the tribulation.

I don't know if I've offended the heavens, but I keep getting hit every now and then.

Even though everyone was trapped in the formation, they still couldn't escape.

These things cannot be erased with a single, casual remark.

The young man smiled and said sincerely, "If Patriarch Ye is interested, it's better to be lucky than early, so you can give it a try yourself."

Master Ye: "..."

try what?

He wants him to go and clash with the heavenly lightning of the Tribulation Transcending Stage?

What a hell joke.

These people don't need to undergo tribulation; anyone who stands in this level of lightning tribulation will die.

He'd only be interested if he were crazy.

What's wrong with Ye Suian's fellow disciples? Not a single thing they say is something he wants to hear.

The head of the Ye family gave an awkward smile.

"That's not necessary."
