Or is it better to continue completing the Saint King Dao Skill?
This thought only circled once in the minds of many elders of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, and everyone continued to cast their gazes on the firmament.
Only to see the Nine Dragons rising and falling, while the Extreme Yang Gourd Divine Thunder, which flew erratically like gourds, was refined by the Celestial Divine Flame spat out by the nine Red Vein Fire Dragons.
The Third Level Thunder Tribulation was swiftly coming to an end.
Yet the Celestial Realm Gate above the firmament continually emitted a dense seven-colored Immortal Light.
The seven-colored Immortal Light descended into the depths of the thunderclouds, and many Immortal Sect elders could sense that the power of the tribulation thunder was being suppressed.
It seems that this Great Xia Emperor has great destiny and merit, hence enjoying such a privilege.
Deep in the void, the Fourth Level Thunder Tribulation appeared immediately after.
Suddenly, on the firmament, pitch-black thunderclouds emerged, with faint azure light manifesting inside them, carrying a peculiar cold current.
Unbeknownst to them, Haojing City started snowing with large snowflakes.
Moreover, all of the snow was black.
The plush snow was extremely cold, with an intangible thunder light flickering within.
"Profound Yin Gui Water Divine Thunder!"
Many high-tier cultivators gazing at this scene felt a chill rise in their hearts.
Undoubtedly, this was a different kind of mutant Divine Thunder.
The Profound Yin Gui Water Divine Thunder was exceedingly cold, and the thunder contained within leaned towards Yin Thunder, more vicious and possessing a corrosive marvelous power.
The mysterious cold thunder light flickered above the firmament, vaguely about to erupt, seemingly ready to manifest in the form of an exotic beast, just suppressed by a unique power.
"Thunder Department Talisman Decree!"
In the shadows, the Dong Shen Ancestor, accompanied by a group of disciples, remained vigilant to prevent any cultivators from causing disruptions while also keeping an eye on this scene.
There was a hint of astonishment in the eyes of this sect ancestor.
He recognized the value.
The power of the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation should have been far greater, yet it was significantly suppressed by the power of the Celestial Realm Gate.
"I wonder if there is an Immortal of the Tongshan Dao Lineage pulling strings in the Celestial Realm Thunder Division..."
The Dong Shen Ancestor mused with a bit of envy.
Although he had obtained a part of the Dao Lineage from the Thunder God Celestial Palace, during the tribulation, the Celestial Monarch of the Thunder Department in the Celestial Realm might not offer him any favor.
Whereas the Tongshan Dao Lineage was different, the Water Official Emperor of the Tongshan Dao Lineage held significant sway in the Celestial Rain Division.
That was a bona fide high-tier immortal official.
Zhang Jian too observed this scene, with a wave of his hand, the Nine Dragons transformed into nine divine lights, dispersing the Profound Yin Gui Water Divine Thunder.
After the Fourth Level Thunder Tribulation ended, the Fifth and Sixth levels emerged consecutively.
The Fifth and Sixth Thunder Tribulations belonged to the Heart-Burning Thunder Tribulation series.
They were the Karma Fire Heart Tribulation and the Sinful Fire Heart Tribulation.
Both tribulations targeted the Primordial Spirit Dao Heart, as well as the intangible destiny and life plate.
The power of these two heart tribulations was exceptionally immense.
Moreover, they were triggered from within, making them difficult to guard against.
However, Zhang Jian’s Innate Primordial Spirit was exceedingly formidable, further protected by the Nine Dragons, channeling infinite Dragon Qi and Emperor’s Qi, thus the fires of these two heart tribulations were smothered before even igniting, immediately being refined and extinguished by Zhang Jian.
Such seemingly effortless tribulation-passing methods made the eyes of many masters from various Immortal Sect Dao Lineages pop out.
Even many True Immortals couldn’t help but feel envious.
The nine types of Heart-Burning Tribulations were extraordinarily troublesome, testing not only the Dao Heart, destiny, and life plate, but also the Dao Practice and magical power.
These tribulations posed significant dangers even to True Immortals; one careless moment could result in their Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit being incinerated into ashes.
This clearly demonstrated the strength of this Great Xia Emperor.
In a flash, after continuously passing through six tribulations, the Seventh Level Thunder Great Tribulation emerged immediately after.
Rumbling!!!
Above the firmament, heaven and earth trembled; patterns of the Thunder Dao Laws appeared limitless, even the Celestial Realm Gate seemed somewhat overshadowed amidst the numerous thunder patterns, while surging blood-red light emerged from the void.
Seeing these thunder patterns emerge, many high-tier cultivators wisely retracted their divine sense to avoid ’inciting lightning,’ unknowingly becoming part of the tribulation themselves.
Simultaneously, many high-tier cultivators advised their disciples and followers to close their eyes and seal their spiritual sense, to prevent contamination by such terrifying thunder dao patterns, lest damaging their Primordial Spirit Dao Heart.
The thunder that appeared this time had surpassed the usual Divine Thunder stage.
This was the Apocalypse Divine Thunder.
The Apocalypse Divine Thunders were numerous, but most contained the ultimate power of destruction.
"Three Returns Annihilation Divine Thunder!"
In the distance, there was a peculiar expression in the eyes of the Zidian Ancestor, the Qing Yuan Ancestor, and the Ancestor Chufa also glanced at him.
The Three Returns Annihilation Divine Thunder was indeed created by the Zidian Ancestor.
This was a thunder tribulation surpassing the Dao Fruit level Immortal Technique, containing a part of the power of Thunder Dao Qi, possessing the ultimate destruction and annihilation capability.
This thunder technique was developed by the Zidian Ancestor during a world’s end, using a bit of pure oppressive, annihilative power.
To enhance this thunder technique’s power, he reforged it three times using the King’s Cauldron Technique from the Tongshan Dao Lineage, thus the name Three Returns Annihilation Divine Thunder was derived.
After three temperings by the King’s Cauldron Technique, it gained three-stage explosive power.
The first stage is a pure, highly compressed thunder explosion; the second stage is annihilation, and the third stage is extinction.
However, the orthodox Three Returns Annihilation Divine Thunder does not carry such terrifying ominous blood light but rather resembles ordinary thunder, often mixed casually by the Zidian Ancestor among regular Divine Thunders, to ’accidentally’ detonate the opponent.
Upon a single strike, one is often severely damaged if not killed!
Yet, after the imprinting of the Thunder Tribulation Law from the Path of Heaven and Earth, its sinister nature was discarded, and its vast power was further amplified instead.
Thus, even before the thunder technique unleashed, ominous blood light emerged prominently across the sky.
