Chapter 68

Jiang Yan waved his hand gently, and the entire Tongtian Peak was covered with a layer of golden light.

The originally panicked Millelith also calmed down.

It seemed that as long as this golden light was there, there would be no danger.

Everyone looked up at the dome of the main hall.

In the sky, Zhongli looked at the Tribulation clouds above his head with a solemn expression.

The Vortex Vanquisher had already appeared in his hand.

However, facing the cultivator's Thunder Tribulation, this divine artifact seemed to be trembling somewhat.

Zhongli knew in his heart.

The Vortex Vanquisher, this old friend...

I'm afraid it can only send me on my final journey today.

It is ultimately not a true spirit artifact.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan spoke:

"It is a pity for such a divine artifact to be destroyed in the Thunder Tribulation; Peak Master Morax, why not let me re-refine it?"

50. Zhongli: What's wrong with using the Sword Art to control a spear? Everything can be a sword!

Hearing this, Zhongli looked down and casually threw the Vortex Vanquisher toward Jiang Yan's position.

The latter narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cluster of purple alchemy fire appeared out of thin air.

The Vortex Vanquisher melted in the firelight.

Jiang Yan didn't need to add any materials; the Vortex Vanquisher itself was a divine artifact, having accompanied Zhongli in battle for thousands of years.

This weapon had already reached its peak.

Re-refining it was nothing more than giving it spirituality and making it compatible with True Essence.

Not long after, it re-condensed on the eve of the Thunder Tribulation.

The brand-new Vortex Vanquisher left the firelight and flew around Jiang Yan with great spirituality.

That sharp and domineering aura spread out.

Keqing saw that her Qingshuang Sword seemed to be trembling.

"A first-order spirit artifact is enough."

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile and pointed at Zhongli.

The Vortex Vanquisher traveled through space at high speed and arrived at Zhongli's side.

"Take this brand-new Vortex as a gift for Peak Master Morax's rebirth; a first-order spirit artifact is enough for you to deal with the Thunder Tribulation."

"We are waiting for your good news."

Hearing this, Zhongli looked at the brand-new Vortex Vanquisher with a calm gaze.

That connection between bloodlines, plus the current spirituality of the Vortex Vanquisher, gave Zhongli a sudden feeling of an old friend accompanying him in battle.

Moreover, the current Vortex Vanquisher is a first-order spirit artifact; Zhongli himself didn't have a definite grasp of its strength.

All he could say was...

Just holding this weapon, he could feel the activity of the True Essence in his body.

His combat power had increased significantly.

As he is now, if the Heavenly Principles do not appear, he can sweep across Teyvat.

No one is his match in a single encounter.

Thinking of this, Zhongli looked at Jiang Yan and the others and smiled:

"Thank you, Sect Master; Xiao, please warm some tea for me, I'll be right back."

Jiang Yan laughed dumbly.

This guy Zhongli actually went through the trouble of warming tea while undergoing the Thunder Tribulation.

The next moment, Zhongli stood up and shot straight into the sky.

And the thunder that had been brewing for a long time finally descended with a bang for the first Thunder Tribulation.

"Break!"

Zhongli gritted his teeth, held his long spear high, and stabbed at the thunder.

Only when truly facing the Thunder Tribulation could he understand how strong the pressure of the Thunder Tribulation was.

This was a completely different feeling from watching Jiang Yan's Thunder Tribulation.

It was simply...

Like the heavens venting their anger.

But the heavens?

Those who step onto the path of immortal cultivation have always been fighting against the heavens for life!

The more the heavens try to suppress him, the angrier they get.

The happier he is.

This only shows that his power makes the heavens fear!

The first thunder was suddenly broken, but traces of the thunder breaking were inevitable around Zhongli.

Zhongli recalled Jiang Yan's appearance when he underwent the Tribulation, using True Essence to form a barrier to protect his body.

Now he had no other way to undergo the Tribulation.

Jiang Yan could still rely on the Sword Control Technique and the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art to fight.

But him...

He only had his martial arts honed to the peak.

The authority of elemental power and divine power was useless.

Facing the Heavenly Tribulation, it was simply like a child's play.

A cultivator's Heavenly Tribulation cannot be resisted by things made of mere elemental power.

Zhongli knew this and didn't intend to summon stone steles.

After some thought, he circulated True Essence in the way of the Jade Shield.

The next moment, a stronger shield appeared around his body.

The white-gold luster was like two suns in the sky.

But just after doing all this, the second thunder arrived as scheduled.

The moment it descended, it shattered the True Essence shield Zhongli had just constructed.

Even the aftermath of the Thunder Tribulation was not something Zhongli's body could resist; he was immediately knocked out of the air and smashed heavily onto the ground.

"Emperor!"

Xiao was anxious and stood up, wanting to run out.

But he was fixed in place by Jiang Yan's gentle hand.

"No one can help him; this is Morax's own Thunder Tribulation."

Xiao gritted his teeth and finally sat back down.

Seeing Zhongli injured was harder than letting him die.

Jiang Yan sighed at Xiao's loyalty; he was worthy of being raised by Zhongli like his own son.

But Zhongli's situation was not particularly bad.

Lying on the barrier Jiang Yan constructed to protect Tongtian Peak, Zhongli oozed some golden blood from the corner of his mouth.

After checking his internal condition, Zhongli was somewhat happy.

The True Essence just now had been tempered by the thunder and had sublimated to the strength that Refining Qi into Spirit should have.

Right now, as long as the other True Essence was also tempered, the Tribulation would be completed.

Thinking of this, Zhongli jumped up again, reached out, and the Vortex Vanquisher returned to his hand.

Being struck by thunder, the Vortex Vanquisher did look somewhat unstable.

But this was also an opportunity for the Vortex Vanquisher.

If it could withstand it, it would be able to retain a trace of the Thunder Tribulation's pressure.

The True Essence shield appeared on his body again, and Zhongli looked up to face the third Thunder Tribulation.

The third Thunder Tribulation was faster and more explosive than the previous one.

This time, Zhongli was fiercely slammed onto the barrier, and the divine armor originally constructed by divine power also dissipated.
