Nine layers of thunderclouds represent both calamity and opportunity; it remains to be seen whether Shen Zhezhu can weather the storm.

Everyone was waiting for the end of this tribulation, waiting for a result.

It would be best if Shen Zhezhu died from the lightning tribulation; if not, then...

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

In any case, it's impossible for a demon of the same level as Gu Xuanzhi to emerge.

Gu Xuanzhi was at least a member of the Xuanmen sect, but Shen Zhezhu was a demon!

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the first lightning bolt struck down from the nine layers of thunderclouds.

The first layer of thunderclouds spun rapidly, unleashing a vast expanse of lightning with a deafening roar!

boom!

This first lightning tribulation was like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart, causing the sky and earth to change color, and even affecting areas ten miles outside the range of thunderclouds.

"retreat!"

Wan Yun's expression changed, and he roared backward. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley who were originally at the edge of the thundercloud retreated rapidly, but several disciples were still affected by the lightning tribulation and died on the spot!

Seeing their fellow disciples turn to ashes on the spot simply from sweeping the bento box, everyone turned pale.

The tribulation lightning during the Mahayana stage is truly... terrifying!

Gu Yao watched coldly, his gaze hardening, and he took a step back without making a sound.

After the first bolt of lightning descended from the first layer of thunderclouds, the second, the third, and the fourth bolts immediately followed...

Each one is more powerful!

Only after the nine lightning tribulations had passed did the first layer, as if somewhat unwilling, surge and dissipate, transforming into a golden chain that coiled and wrapped around the last layer of thunderclouds.

Before everyone could react to the first layer of lightning tribulation, the second layer of lightning tribulation had already begun.

The tribulation... is still ongoing.

The fact that the thunderclouds have not yet dispersed means that the person undergoing tribulation has not died.

Shen Zhezhu, who was in the center of the thundercloud, naturally suffered the most pain. His clothes were torn, and his whole body was being torn apart by the violent spiritual power within him.

The deafening roars seemed endless, lashing the boy's somewhat frail body time and time again.

As the thunderclouds contracted, the range of the tribulation grew smaller and more terrifying. With each layer of thunderclouds that dissipated, a golden chain appeared on the last layer, looking as if it were sealing something, solemn yet eerie.

By the time they reached the eighth layer of thunderclouds, the range of the lightning tribulation had shrunk to ten zhang around Shen Zhezhu.

Under the light of the heavenly tribulation, the kneeling figure appeared both exceptionally small and exceptionally tall.

There was no other reason than that he had survived eight layers of thunderclouds.

Since Gu Xuanzhi attained enlightenment at the edge of the Fallen God Abyss three thousand years ago, entering the Mahayana realm with a single thought and slaying a prodigy with a single sword, no one has ever stepped into this realm again.

A full seventy-two lightning tribulations!!!

Shen Zhezhu pulled through!

The final layer of thunderclouds compressed rapidly, eventually condensing within a ten-foot radius around Shen Zhezhu.

As the eighth layer of thunderclouds dissipated, a golden streak coiled around the last layer. The moment the eight chains connected, sparks flew instantly.

And only the last layer of the small tower-shaped thundercloud remained.

Shen Zhezhu looked up at the thunderclouds overhead that seemed to be tearing him apart, his eyes flashing with intense resentment!

Why!

Why does everyone have to die?!

Everyone was waiting for him to fail his tribulation, but he was determined to succeed!

His life is in his own hands!

The Heavenly Dry Sect, the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Hundred Flowers Sect... dozens of sects, large and small, all showed indescribable shock when they saw Shen Zhezhu stand up.

Even Gu Ce, who had always been at odds with Shen Zhezhu, swallowed hard. "Is he... is he a monster?"

Seventy-two lightning tribulations!

A tribulation of lightning during the Mahayana stage!

He can actually stand up!!!

Gu Mei frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "A monster, isn't it..."

Even she had to admit that Shen Zhezhu was indeed a madman.

That's absolutely insane!!

He was also a genius that others could only admire from afar.

Shen Zhezhu is probably not even thirty yet.

The Mahayana period before reaching thirty...

Even if you go back tens of thousands of years in the history of cultivation, you would hardly find one like this.

The path of cultivation is inherently about competing with fate for opportunities.

And now there really is someone who dares to defy the will of Heaven with a mortal body.

疯!

That's outrageous!

But Shen Zhezhu dared to do it!

Amidst the scorched earth, the young man stood tall and straight, staring directly at the sky. He lowered his head, coughed up blood, and casually wiped it away. As if possessed, he pointed his middle finger at the last thundercloud above his head and roared to the heavens, "Today, if you have the guts, strike me dead! If you can't, one day I will surely ascend the path to immortality!!"

As if it understood, the last layer of thunderclouds twisted rapidly, snapping the eight golden chains wrapped around it.

"Oh!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. The last layer of thunderclouds transformed into black chains, surrounded by purple lightning. Eight chains that had previously broken off quickly wrapped around it, coating it with a layer of golden light, and slowly took on the shape of a golden dragon.

The nine bolts of lightning actually condensed into one!

Amidst the lightning, the golden dragon looked down upon a group of ants, and those it swept over felt a thin layer of sweat on their backs.

"The final tribulation lightning..." Wan Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

"Whether this demon lives or dies depends on this lightning strike." Gu Ce met the golden dragon's eyes, his body trembled involuntarily, and he murmured.

Under this powerful pressure, Shen Zhezhu's face turned pale and his internal organs began to churn, but his gaze toward the five-clawed golden dragon was more resolute than ever before.

He wants to live!

He wanted to survive so he could ask why they had abandoned him time and time again!

With a contemptuous look in his eyes, as if looking at a dead man, Jinlong swooped down towards Shen Zhezhu.

In an instant, the world shook!

This process seemed rather slow to cultivators, but under such pressure, no one could move!

The moment the golden dragon left, the ninth layer of thunderclouds exploded instantly!

The shockwave that exploded in the air affected the ground. In an instant, all the plum and peach blossoms blooming on the riverbank fell down, and the withered flowers covered the ground, turning into ashes in a flash!

Those who were pinned to the spot by this oppressive force were violently thrown away by the shockwave, like mayflies in a wave, unable to muster any strength to resist.

The demonic essence within Shen Zhezhu's body had been completely cleaved apart during the previous tribulation. Now, Shen Zhezhu was like an overloaded container, his aura rising steadily until it reached a critical point of explosion. He poured the excess spiritual power into the Wujue Sword, and black energy overflowed, instantly spreading over a radius of a hundred miles!

The fallen trees withered in an instant, and the black mist ruthlessly drained the life force from all living things around them!

Those disciples who didn't have time to escape didn't even have time to scream before they turned into piles of bones in an instant.
