Chapter 70

In the sky, dark clouds covered the heavens, countless thunderbolts gathered in the clouds, transmitting a booming, earth-shaking roar.

Bibidong watched this scene of heaven and earth being destroyed, her heart filled with worry.

She was afraid, she was afraid that Qianxunji would die under this terrifying tribulation.

But she also knew that if she stayed, she would not only be unable to help Qianxunji in the slightest, but would instead distract him.

Thinking this, Bibidong glanced at Qianxunji with reddened eyes and said:

"Master, you must survive!"

Bibidong then took Liu Er Long, A Yin, and Tangyuehua, leaving the Jiaohuang Qin Gong and flying swiftly toward the distance.

"Ji er!"

But just then, a worried shout came from the sky.

Qianxunji looked up and saw a tall figure flying in the air above, blocking his upper side.

Seeing this, Qianxunji's right foot sank, his body shot straight up to Qian Daoliu's side.

Qian Daoliu looked worriedly at the tribulation above, his eyes full of fear, he patted Qianxunji's shoulder and said:

Son, don't be afraid; even if heaven and earth wanted to eliminate you today, I, your father, would be the first to stand before you.

Qianxunji listened to Qian Daoliu's words, his heart filled with emotion.

Having been an orphan in his previous life, he now felt Qian Daoliu's deep paternal love, his heart brimming with warmth.

At this moment, he finally fully accepted Qian Daoliu as his father.

Father!

Qianxunji looked at Qian Daoliu before him and shouted sincerely.

Haha… don't be afraid!

Qian Daoliu gave Qianxunji a hug and patted his shoulder.

Qianxunji also embraced Qian Daoliu, then said:

Dad, you leave first; I can withstand this heavenly tribulation.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked fearfully at the heavenly tribulation above; even as an Ultimate Douluo, he had no confidence to withstand this terrifying tribulation, so he said:

No, as your father, how could I let you face danger alone.

Qianxunji knew Qian Daoliu wouldn't let him face danger alone, so he said:

Father, if you stay here, I would instead be distracted.

After all, if you were killed by this tribulation, my state of mind would be greatly affected, impairing my power display. Only if you leave can I focus entirely and unleash my full strength to face this tribulation.

Qian Daoliu heard this, gave Qianxunji a deep look, and felt it also made sense.

Thus he gritted his teeth firmly, patted Qianxunji's shoulder, and cheered him on:

As your father, I believe you will surely succeed.

Having said that, he flew to a spot over a thousand meters away, looking back with a worried expression.

Boom—rumble… boom—rumble…

In the high sky, countless thunderclaps exploded, emitting a deafening roar.

Boom!

With a boom, a thunderbolt as thick as a bowl's mouth erupted from the high altitude and slammed down toward Qianxunji below.

Wherever the thunder passed, space shattered inch by inch, emitting a piercing cracking sound.

Qianxunji stood in midair, gazing at the lightning shooting down from above, his fists clenched, his right foot stomping down hard.

Boom!

Where his right foot struck, space shattered directly, his body turning into a cannonball that shot toward the incoming lightning.

Then, black demonic qi condensed on his fist, and he threw a punch at the incoming lightning!

Boom!

The fist and lightning collided, bursting with a tremendous explosive sound that shook the Ju Dou Luo and Ghost Douluo a thousand meters away, making their ears ring as if they were about to go deaf.

Soul Masters below the rank of Titled Douluo had their ears directly shaken until they bled.

Bibidong's nine soul rings appeared around her body, especially the conspicuous red ninth soul ring.

With a wave of her small hand, she created a soul power shield that protected Liu Er Long, Tangyuehua, and A Yin within, thus preventing their ears from being shaken into bleeding.

A Yin watched the surrounding Soul Masters clutching their bleeding ears and wailing; she could not imagine what terrifying attack power Qianxunji, at the center of the lightning onslaught, was enduring.

Boom!

Qianxunji punched the lightning, canceling out its tremendous force.

However, the bowl‑thick thunderbolt also slammed directly into his body, instantly piercing through every part of him, attempting to destroy his organs, blood…

If it were an ordinary Titled Douluo, he would be turned to ash in an instant, leaving not even a trace.

Yet, Qianxunji's Steel Body is immensely strong; countless thunderbolts permeated his interior, shaking his body with excruciating pain.

Ha!

Qianxunji let out a mighty shout, surging demonic qi bursting forth, his inner blood and flesh surging, leveraging this lightning's power to greatly increase his bodily strength once more.

A thousand meters away, Qian Daoliu stared in shock at Qianxunji in the sky, muttering:

Son, this lightning is so terrifying; if I were struck by it, my flesh would surely have been shaken to char and I would have died.

But you, not only unharmed, can even use the lightning to temper your body, further increasing your physical strength.

I never expected your flesh to be this strong.

Haha… haha…

Qian Daoliu burst into loud laughter and flew toward Qianxunji.

However, just as he took off, his deep eyes were filled with fear, staring in shock at the high sky.

There, countless lightning bolts quickly gathered, and an even larger bolt of lightning gathered and shot out, preparing to blast towards Qianxunji.

"What?"

"There's even a second heavenly punishment lightning?"

Qian Daoliu looked at the lightning forming in the high sky, his eyes full of shock.

Generally speaking, a bolt of lightning is a rare sight.

And that bolt of lightning just now, Qian Daoliu knew that among those below the god level on the continent, absolutely no one could withstand it; death was certain.

Even Tang Hao, who is slightly stronger than him, would undoubtedly die without a doubt under that bolt of lightning just now.

And now, an even more terrifying heavenly punishment lightning is actually forming again.

Qian Daoliu gazed in fear at the lightning forming in the high sky, and said anxiously:

"Jier, what exactly did you do to provoke heaven's envy like this?"

"One heavenly punishment lightning isn't enough; they actually want to nurture an even more terrifying heavenly punishment lightning."

Qian Daoliu anxiously forgot about the lightning in the sky, then looked around at the Soul Masters and shouted:

"All retreat beyond five kilometers, quick!"

The Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall, hearing this, instantly ran toward the distance.

They had already been terrified by that bolt of lightning earlier, and now seeing the even more terrifying lightning forming, they had long wanted to flee, but they feared Qian Daoliu in the sky.

So, as soon as Qian Daoliu's words were spoken, the surrounding Soul Masters wished they could grow eight legs, summoning their fastest speed to run farther away.

Bibidong glanced at the lightning, and also led A Yin and the others to retreat another kilometer.

She had to retreat, because she knew she must not let Qianxunji be distracted.

Only Qian Daoliu did not retreat, because he is a Level Ninety-Nine Ultimate Douluo, a demigod powerhouse.

If he were at the center of the lightning attack, he would absolutely be unable to withstand it.

But beyond a kilometer, he could still withstand it.

But his usually deep eyes were now filled with fear, and he said anxiously:

"Jier, you must hold on!"
