Chapter 084: All Turned to Ashes (Three Updates)

Liu Changfeng still didn’t understand Bai Qiulan’s meaning.

With a thunderous roar, the heavens and earth were instantly ripped apart by a silvery flash.

Lightning struck!

Not just a single bolt, but a myriad of them, converging in a torrent, striking down upon the Nine Dragon Valley.

Formation?

Shooting fish in a barrel?

The barrel was indeed sturdy, but all the strong characters had become the fish, caught cleanly.

I have to say, the great formation set up by these people was truly impressive.

The first wave of densely packed silver lightning didn’t completely shatter the formation.

“We must unite and resist the Heavenly Tribulation together; if we fight individually, we will all, without exception, perish!” The Eternal Order Sect’s Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivator was nearly infuriated, shouting.

They were originally confident of victory; Lu Ye had focused solely on defense.

Just as they were about to finish Lu Ye off completely, he had done nothing but defend, producing only one move.

No, he had thought of a way to break the situation from the very start; all those seals he crafted were not for defense but to solidify this array.

“Boom!”

The second bolt of calamity lightning descended.

All formations were obliterated.

Endless calamity energy permeated the air, the lightning-infused spiritual energy was at an overwhelming density, flickering everywhere.

A heavy shield was raised.

This was a treasured item of the Eternal Order Sect, an innate spiritual treasure known as the Indestructible Shield.

“Everyone, combine your efforts!”

Now, no one cared about Lu Ye; the Xuanwu above his head was spinning, already quite dim, but still required everyone to work together to break out.

All the Transcending Tribulation cultivators gathered behind the Indestructible Shield, a torrent of spiritual energy surged into it.

Shadow after shadow of shields rapidly manifested, ultimately summing up to ninety-nine shield images.

Lu Ye closed his eyes, hands swirling at his dantian.

Around him, a faint silver light sparked, as the wandering lightning-infused spiritual energy began to coalesce towards Lu Ye.

He had been cultivating True Essence; it was time to refine his body.

“Boom!”

The third bolt of calamity lightning struck.

Layers upon layers of shield light from the Indestructible Shield were obliterated.

The Indestructible Shield sank, and the weak Transcending Tribulation cultivators spat out mouthfuls of blood, the terrifying force directly injuring their bodies.

“So powerful! Quick, everyone, take out your defensive treasures!”

A Transcending Tribulation cultivator of the Netherworld roared.

He was the first to summon his spiritual treasure, a completely black talisman that ignited, forming a black light curtain.

Others hastily followed suit.

The fourth bolt of lightning descended.

“Boom!”

All defensive spiritual treasures shattered, turning to scrap.

The most robust Indestructible Shield was penetrated instantly.

All Transcending Tribulation cultivators were charred all over, suffering varying degrees of severe injuries.

And this was only the fourth bolt!

Remember, there are nine of these calamity lightning bolts!

Despair spread in everyone’s hearts.

One Transcending Tribulation cultivator glared at Lu Ye with astonishing malice.

“It’s all your fault!”

“It’s because of you!”

“You must die!”

Lu Ye nodded lightly, “Come kill me!”

His hands formed seals once again, summoning the Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger.

The Four Spirits created four luminous veils, completely enveloping Lu Ye’s body.

A phantom of Xuanwu allowed the Transcending Tribulation cultivators to strike it three times without completely shattering it; now, Lu Ye had gathered the Four Symbols in one breath, intermingling them into one.

“I want you dead!”

That Transcending Tribulation cultivator went completely insane, howling as he charged toward Lu Ye.

His internal energy exploded wildly.

His body swelled like a balloon.

Lu Ye was taken aback, “Holy cow, self-detonation?”

That’s impressive! Even his Four Symbols would not withstand a self-detonation from a Transcending Tribulation cultivator.

“Go!”

The Four Symbols merged, rapidly enveloping the Transcending Tribulation cultivator, while Lu Ye’s figure transformed into a streak of light.

The secret method, Nine Steps to Reincarnation, activated.

In just one step, Lu Ye’s figure became blurry.

Ridiculous! With a formation, there was no way out. With the formations destroyed, they couldn’t stop him from escaping.

“Boom!”

A massive roar echoed throughout Nine Dragon Valley.

The ground trembled violently.

The Four Symbols shattered into pieces.

Lu Ye ran fast enough, but he was still affected a little, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His body was flung like a broken sack.

The fifth bolt of calamity lightning fell at that moment.

Above was the lightning tribulation, below was the self-detonation of the Transcending Tribulation cultivator, and in the middle, a group of Transcending Tribulation cultivators was completely stunned.

“Damn!”

“Infinite Celestial Lord!”

“Forget it, I’m done!”

“Boom!”

Silver snakes danced wildly, the heavenly might was overwhelming.

The weak were instantly reduced to ash beneath the lightning.

With this strike, all below the Transcending Tribulation Realm perished, turning to dust.

Even the onlooker, Lu Xuntian, was not spared.

A third of the Transcending Tribulation cultivators died—it’s a gruesome sight.

Lu Ye also could not escape the onslaught of the lightning, he too was targeted by the heavenly tribulation, and the main bolt of lightning split into smaller bolts, striking down hard upon him.

Lu Ye’s body turned charred black as he hurriedly spun his hands at his dantian.

Nine Tribulations Undying Body.

Refine for me!

The lightning surged; although it inflicted extreme pain, his expression showed no signs of distortion.

Pain was merely a testament to my growth!

Abundant lightning flooded into Lu Ye’s body, silver lightning flickering.

At this moment, the latent blood essence within him finally erupted with its power.

A surge of vitality poured out, rapidly repairing Lu Ye’s devastated body.

His flesh was torn, restored, torn again, and restored once more.

The sixth bolt of lightning, amidst the despairing eyes of the Transcending Tribulation cultivators, came crashing down.

Again, a thick bolt of lightning struck Lu Ye.

“Pfft!”

Lu Ye spat out blood once more.

His skin and flesh trembled in reversal.

Pain!

It hurt so much!

Lu Ye’s expression was terrifyingly calm.

When has the path to becoming a Daoist lacked suffering?

Countless currents of lightning coursed through his body.

“Hahaha…”

“They’re all dead, all of them…”

The Eternal Order Sect’s Transcending Tribulation cultivator barely resembled a human anymore.

He let out a hoarse laugh, filled with desolation.

Three hundred years of cultivation, today turned to ash.

Whatever it was, it was over.

His gaze finally settled on Lu Ye.

A cold voice, like a whisper from the abyss, rang out.

“A great top genius of the Eternal Genius Ranking, today many of the Eternal Order Sect’s strong have been annihilated, a deep karma now rests upon you. I await you on the path of reincarnation!”

Lu Ye raised his gaze, his voice quite serious.

“Failure in crossing the tribulation means no entry to reincarnation!”

“This isn’t a rule I set, but a rule set by the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.”

The Eternal Order Sect’s Transcending Tribulation cultivator…

Aaaah, this is infuriating!

“Boom!”

The seventh bolt of heavenly lightning fell.

The last Transcending Tribulation cultivator turned to dust in the radiant light.

Lu Ye looked at the thundering heavenly lightning rushing in and knew he couldn’t withstand it anymore.

A stone sword appeared in his hand.

Three Thousand Sword Paths!

In an instant, a vast amount of sword light surged towards the lightning; the furious lightning obliterated all the sword light and then slammed into Lu Ye.
