Bang!
Outside, thousands of cultivators began to activate their inscriptions all at once. Some Holy Sons and Holy Virgins activated inscriptions that were much much more powerful than the cultivators.
Bang!
Suddenly, the energy of the inscriptions hit the light screen of the Myriad Flame Incinerate Ghosts Spell.
The array Xu Que created had already absorbed a huge amount of Spiritual Qi and was very stable. Even if it had been hit, it was still intact—its light dimmed a bit but nothing more.
After all, the Myriad Flame Incinerate Ghosts Spell was a high-class array—many of the influential factions didn’t even know how to set it up. Its power could even kill a man of the Void Training Stage.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.
Jiang Yushu, the leader of the Jiang Family, frowned. “It seems that this array is much more powerful than I thought!”
“So what?! I believe that if we hit it ten more times, the light screen will definitely crack!” the old man from the Gong Family sneered.
“When we get in, we should destroy Jiang Hongyan’s cultivation first, then we should catch that young man alive,” the old man in the Bai Family said. “I think he’s carrying lots of valuable objects!”
Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded.
…
The Holy Sons and Holy Virgins were also stunned by what they had seen.
“This is really impressive!”
Xiao Taixuan, the Holy Son from the Eight Directions Green Dragon Sect, became rather interested in the array.
Bai Linglue, the Holy Virgin of the Bai Family, sneered, “Never! I am sure this array will be destroyed before Jiang Hongyan goes through her Thunder Tribulation!”
Hearing this, Xiao Taixuan shook his head.
“You’re too full of yourself. I don’t agree with you since even if the array is broken, the black fire inside is also very dangerous!”
“Don’t tell me you’re afraid?!” Bai Linglue sneered.
Xiao Taoxuan stared at her coldly. “We’ll see who gets to kill Jiang Hongyan!”
“Killing Jiang Hongyan? You would dare kill someone who’s wanted by the Carefree Building?” Xiao Munan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, mocked.
“I would dare! I know you’re all cowards!” Xiao Taixuan said in a deep voice, and a huge amount of energy erupted from him.
The other Holy Sons and Holy Virgins glanced at him and activated their inscriptions.
…
Right at this moment, Xu Que stood behind the light screen. Seeing the light gradually dim under the attack, he was not worried at all. Instead, he began to smile.
“What a bunch of losers! I thought it would take less time for them to destroy the light screen. It seems that I overestimated them!” Xu Que shook his head, put his spell flag on the ground, and walked toward the mountain where Jiang Hongyan was.
In fact, he had been worried that they would easily destroy the array; now he was confident that it would take quite a while for the cultivators to do so.
Bang!
The thunder was getting louder and louder, the heavy black cloud getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain. It was so big that almost the entire sky was covered and, of course, the sunlight was blocked as well.
Jiang Hongyan was sitting on the mountain and giving out a huge amount of Spiritual Qi of the Water Element. She was shrouded in a water shield on which many golden inscriptions kept appearing.
The golden inscriptions rotated quickly around Jiang Hongyan, and the sound of someone singing scripts floated around from time to time.
After a short while, the water shield froze . . .
Xu Que quickly ran and landed beside Jiang Hongyan. He then looked up and glared at the sky with a serious face.
He knew that once he got close to Jiang Hongyan, the power of the thunder tribulation would get stronger, and he would become the target of the lightning. But he did not care since he could feel that this thunder tribulation was rather different from all the other thunder tribulations he had experienced before. It was much more depressing and dangerous. Xu Que believed that if he did not help her, Jiang Hongyan would be in great danger.
Xu Que looked at the sky and sneered, Come! You stupid thunder tribulation! I want to see if you can kill me! I’ll absorb all your energy and improve The Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon & Elephant Seal. Then I’ll be invincible!
With the thunder essence inside his body, he had managed to finish around thirty percent cultivation of the Heavenly Thunder Seal of the Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon & Elephant Seal. He believed that if he absorbed more thunder energy, he would be able to complete the cultivation of the Heavenly Thunder Seal. When that time came, he could easily defeat the Holy Sons and Holy Virgins.
Right at the moment, Jiang Hongyan sensed that Xu Que was next to her and frowned.
After all, the thunder tribulation this time was in fact called the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation; if Jiang Hongyan managed to get through it, she would step into the Void Training Stage.
She worried that Xu Que might be killed since he was only in the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage.
However, she was now completely focused on the tribulation and could not stop to ask Xu Que to leave.
At the same time, all the surrounding Spiritual Qi—including the mysterious Spiritual Qi in the Celestial Burial Valley—gathered around Jiang Hongyan. It seemed that she was going to practice a powerful incantation.
Xu Que sensed that Jiang Hongyan was worried about him. He smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry, just focus on your own business. I’ll absorb all the thunder energy and it will actually do me good.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hongyan was a bit relieved.
Bang!
The thick and heavy black cloud suddenly cracked in the middle.
A ray of extremely bright light shed upon the top of the mountain.
He felt something ringing in his ears—it felt like the sound was coming from his heart.
He trembled all over. Raising his head to the sky, Xu Que was stunned by what he saw.
On the other side of the cloud, he saw millions of people standing in a great formation. They all shined in silver and looked like the magnificent Milky Way floating in the sky.
Xu Que was too shocked for words.
Are they the so-called Heavenly Soldiers? It’s just a f*cking tribulation, why on earth would they come here?! What on earth has Jiang Hongyan done wrong to be treated this way?!
Right at this moment, all the soldiers shouted, “Give my money back!” Their loud combined voice echoed throughout the land.
