I have the face of a great demon.

The calamity clouds in the sky resembled a gigantic black beast, constantly churning and expanding, as if about to devour the entire world.

Lightning flashed in the clouds like countless silver snakes dancing wildly in the darkness, and thunder roared like ten thousand horses galloping, shaking the earth.

A suffocating pressure descended from the sky, instilling in everyone an unprecedented sense of fear.

With the people from the Tianhe Sect all scared away, Liu Xingchen no longer needed to put on airs. He landed on the ground and stood in front of the main hall of the Tianhe Sect, feeling more at ease with his feet firmly on the ground.

Faced with this terrifying lightning tribulation, his heart was filled with tension and unease.

He knew that the tribulation was the most severe test in a cultivator's life; if one could not withstand it, one's soul would be scattered.

At this moment, his spiritual energy was circulating at high speed, and his body was as taut as a string about to snap, ready to face the baptism of lightning tribulation at any time.

Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, his inner tension kept surging like a tide.

Just then, the spirit appeared beside Liu Xingchen. Sensing Liu Xingchen's nervousness, he patted Liu Xingchen's shoulder and said, "Little master, don't worry, I'm here."

Liu Xingchen turned his head and looked at Ling Gui's confident face, and a strange sense of security welled up in his heart.

The spirit was powerful and had always been by his side, helping him overcome countless difficulties. With the spirit by his side, he felt as if he had a solid support.

Yes, with spirits around, what is there to be afraid of?

Moreover, he also has a mysterious black robe protecting him. Back in the Wuji Sect, this black robe protected him, allowing him to stroll leisurely through the raging formation. I believe it can also withstand the lightning tribulation here.

The scholar understood this as well. After Liu Xingchen fully activated the protective power of the black robe, he desperately poured spiritual power into the black robe to make it operate at high speed in order to cope with the lightning tribulation.

At the foot of the Tianhe Sect's mountain, the once empty valley is now filled with all the sect's disciples.

They gathered together, gazing up at the churning clouds in the sky, their faces filled with fear and unease.

Many disciples were witnessing a tribulation of lightning for the first time. The thunderclouds resembled a gigantic black beast, constantly churning and expanding, as if they were about to devour the entire world.

A suffocating pressure descended from the sky, instilling in everyone an unprecedented sense of fear.

"This tribulation lightning is terrifying. I have never seen such a horrific scene before," a young disciple said in a trembling voice, his face pale and his eyes filled with terror.

"Yes, the pressure of this tribulation lightning is almost crushing. I feel like I'm being crushed by a mountain, and I can't breathe," another disciple chimed in, his body trembling slightly, clearly frightened by the pressure of the tribulation lightning.

He Taichou stood in the crowd, his expression more solemn than anyone else's.

As a Nascent Soul Realm expert, he had survived the tribulation and knew the terror of this lightning tribulation.

This is a tribulation lightning strike at the Mahayana stage, its power enough to destroy the heavens and the earth. Under such a tribulation lightning strike, their Tianhe Sect would probably really be reduced to ruins.

The sect's buildings, those halls and pavilions that embody the hard work of countless predecessors, will be reduced to nothingness under the relentless bombardment of the lightning tribulation.

Those precious spiritual herbs, which are important cultivation resources for the Tianhe Sect, will also turn to ashes in the tribulation of lightning.

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch our sect get destroyed?"

What else could they do? Even the sect leader was helpless, so what could they do? They were lucky to escape with their lives.

And so, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the first tribulation of lightning finally descended. A massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for Liu Xingchen.

That bolt of lightning contained unparalleled destructive power, as if it would turn everything to ashes.

Liu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became rapid. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination, ready to meet the impact of this tribulation lightning.

However, when the lightning actually struck, Liu Xingchen found that the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined. Although the lightning was powerful, it didn't cause him much harm.

He only felt a slight jolt in his body before returning to normal. The power of the lightning tribulation didn't seem to be as strong as he had imagined.

A sense of doubt welled up in Liu Xingchen's heart, but when he looked around, he found that the surrounding environment had been greatly damaged.

As the building closest to Liu Xingchen, the main hall was the first to bear the brunt of the lightning tribulation.

A huge hole was torn in the roof of the main hall, tiles flew everywhere, wooden beams broke, and fragments rained down.

The interior decorations of the main hall were also damaged. The murals on the walls were shaken off one by one, and the jade floor was cracked with countless fissures. The entire hall looked as if it had experienced a catastrophe.

In the square in front of the main hall, the bluestone slabs were shattered by the shockwave of the lightning tribulation, and some slabs were even blown away, exposing the soil underneath.

The flowers, plants, and trees around the square were not spared either. Some tree branches were struck by lightning and instantly charred, leaves fell one after another, and the ground was littered with debris.

The entire hall area was shrouded in an aura of burning and destruction.

Liu Xingchen stood in front of the main hall, looking at the scene before him, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Although he himself was not seriously injured, the power of the lightning tribulation far exceeded his expectations.

This was only the first lightning tribulation, yet it had already caused such enormous destruction.

But such a powerful lightning tribulation couldn't do anything to him, which shows how amazing the black-robed man's defensive capabilities were.

Having withstood the first lightning tribulation, Liu Xingchen felt much more at ease. He was confident that he could overcome the tribulation, and if he was lucky, he might not even need healing pills.

Compared to Liu Xingchen's composure, the Tianhe Sect members watching from below the mountain displayed varying reactions.

For the young disciples who had never witnessed a tribulation of lightning before, this tribulation was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying disaster.

Their eyes widened and their mouths gaped open, as if they were witnessing the end of the world.

The rolling thunderclouds, the flashes of lightning, and the roar of thunder made their hearts pound. A wave of fear washed over them, making them tremble and turn pale. Some even wanted to cover their ears and flee this terrifying place.

However, experts like He Taichou, who had witnessed the tribulation of lightning, were puzzled. Was this the tribulation of lightning during the Mahayana stage?

How come this power is like the lightning tribulation of the Golden Core stage?

Okay, it seems to be a little bit stronger, but it's still not as powerful as the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage. What kind of tribulation is this great demon undergoing?
