Chapter 969: Don't Come Over Here!

Boom—!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the ceiling of the entire hall suddenly sprouted strands of golden lightning, resembling a leaking eave; all the golden lightning interwove into a sheet, covering the four directions.

"Wh... what's happening?"

"Why did so much lightning suddenly rush in, and why is it all golden?"

"Am I blind? Does golden lightning even exist in this world?"

"What exactly is happening outside?"

"Oh my heavens, judging by that noise, it sounds like thunder, and massive thunder at that!"

In an instant, people from numerous sects cried out in alarm, filled with terror.

The cultivation methods of Taijin Continent were completely different from those of the Cultivation World; they focused on tempering the body and had also used thunder and lightning to cleanse their essence and marrow, but that was always done during rainy, stormy days—no one had ever been able to summon a Heavenly Tribulation, let alone seen a tribulation of this magnitude.

The commotion caused by Xu Que's Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation shocked everyone instantly, even while they remained indoors.

Bai Cailing, the Yaochi Saintess, also changed color on the spot, her face filled with disbelief.

"Golden lightning? How is this possible? A mere Body Integration Stage cultivator, how could he summon such a Lightning Tribulation?" Her heart trembled with shock as she looked at Xu Que once more, her gaze filled with horror.

Meanwhile, within the white light, that figure became even more panicked, crying out in alarm, "Catastrophe, damn it, you've actually summoned such a catastrophe! You mere Body Integration Stage cultivator, scram! If you want to die, go far away and don't drag This Seat down with you!"

"I won't! I just want to drag you down; what can you do about it? Neener neener!" Xu Que wore a cheeky expression, sticking out his tongue and making a funny face.

The figure within the white light instantly exploded with rage, roaring madly, "Presumptuous! Ignorant ant, utterly foolish, get away from This Seat immediately!"

Having said that, he shouted at the dozens of stunned Refining Moon Sect disciples, "What are you still standing there for? Forget the sacrifice! Kill this ant for This Seat right now, drag him out, and tear him to shreds!"

Clamor!

The entire crowd couldn't help but erupt in an uproar, their faces filled with shock.

Judging by the reaction of this Palace Master of Lian Yue Palace, many guessed what was happening: it seemed these lightning bolts and the commotion were provoked by Xu Que.

Most crucially, this Palace Master was extremely afraid of this lightning, showing great dread; he was so concerned that he disregarded the sacrifice entirely just to drive Xu Que away!

"Heavens! What has this lad actually done?"

"Could it be the legendary divine retribution? That Palace Master fears being implicated by the retribution, which is why he's driving him away!"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

The crowd hid on the periphery, discussing in hushed tones.

In another corner, within the passage, the members of the Golden Gate Sect and the Night Eagle Pavilion were already completely stunned; the schadenfreude they had displayed earlier was now nowhere to be seen.

They never expected that Xu Que could actually achieve this step, threatening the Palace Master within the white light, and moreover, he now seemed to hold the upper hand.

"Boom!"

At the same time, dozens of Refining Moon Sect disciples chose to act without hesitation.

Since even the Palace Master had ordered them to disregard the sacrifice, they completely cast aside their restraints; they didn't even need to hold back their strength, directly releasing surging Blood Evil Qi as they charged toward Xu Que.

"Bang!"

Dozens streams of Blood Evil Qi directly pierced through the air, whistling forth and sweeping over like an overwhelming tide.

"Hiss!"

Everyone present instantly inhaled a sharp breath of cold air!

"The Refining Moon Sect is truly terrifying!"

"Such powerful Dharma spells, all gathered together—their power is surely more than doubled!"

"This completely blocks any retreat; that Fellow Daoist Tang is likely in grave danger!"

"Grave danger? Aren't you being too optimistic? This is simply a situation with ten deaths and no life!"

Many people exclaimed in shock.

Even a powerhouse at the Human Immortal Realm level like Bai Cailing now tightened her expression.

With her strength, even in her peak state, she would not dare to easily confront so much Blood Evil Qi head-on.

"Senior Bai, can this lad make it?" Elder Yu of the Liye Sect also wore a face full of worry; although she had no good feelings toward Xu Que, they still relied on him to lead them out, so she was deeply concerned at this moment.

Bai Cailing shook her head: "This Blood Evil Qi is inherently an Impure Force capable of corroding everything; it clashes with our Spiritual Energy. Fellow Daoist Tang is only at the Body Integration Stage; even if he is stronger than ordinary Body Integration cultivators, it will be difficult for him to resist!"

Saying this, she sighed slightly: "The key point is that Fellow Daoist Tang must still undergo his Tribulation; it is hard to imagine that a Heavenly Tribulation like this is something he can handle, and if he gets injured by this Blood Evil Qi on top of that, the situation will truly be one of ten deaths and no life!"

"Ah? Then... what do we do now? Should we step in to help?" Elder Yu was instantly startled.

If Xu Que died, the Palace Master within the white light would soon emerge, or even before he emerged, the people of the Refining Moon Sect would come to deal with them first.

By that time, let alone escaping Lian Yue Palace, it would be questionable whether they could even survive.

"We can't help!" Bai Cailing shook her head again, smiling bitterly: "You don't understand our cultivation methods; once this kind of Heavenly Tribulation draws near, even we won't be able to save ourselves!"

"This..." Elder Yu couldn't help but freeze, her heart sinking to the bottom.

Standing nearby, Er Gouzi heard this and immediately displayed a look of disdain on his face, shaking his head repeatedly.

Blood Evil Qi? Heavenly Tribulation? Ten deaths and no life?

You are really overthinking it; you are simply too ignorant!

This lad isn't undergoing a Tribulation at all; it's the Heavenly Tribulation undergoing him!

Sigh, the Heavenly Tribulation is so pitiful!

"Boom!"

At the same time, those dozens of powerful streams of Blood Evil Qi had already rushed before Xu Que, resembling countless scarlet vipers flicking their tongues, intending to devour Xu Que.

Facing this scene, many people felt that Xu Que was done for.

Including the members of the Golden Gate Sect and the Night Eagle Pavilion hiding in the passage, their faces once again regained their look of schadenfreude; if Xu Que was done for, then they would be happy!

However, Xu Que remained calm and composed, standing leisurely in place with his arms crossed over his chest, a smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, if the Heavenly Tribulation hadn't arrived yet, I truly wouldn't dare to clash with you head-on, but now..." Xu Que said with a faint smile, then suddenly raised his hand toward the sky above.

The next moment, his smile vanished, and he shouted sternly, "Let the Thunder come!"

Boom—!

In an instant, a earth-shaking explosion rang out outside Lian Yue Palace, deafening as an invisible giant fist heavily hammering everyone's chests.

The next moment, from the ceiling at the top of the hall chamber, dense Golden Thunder suddenly converged into a river-sea, churning wildly.

Golden Lightning coiled into massive waves, triggering successive howls, then transformed into dozens of great rivers that suddenly descended from above, pouring down like a waterfall to flood toward Xu Que.

Rumble-rumble—!

Instantly, thunder rolled endlessly; Xu Que found himself amidst ten thousand pounds of Thunder!

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Dozens of strands of Blood Evil Qi, before even touching the lightning, were directly evaporated into mist, turning into nothingness.

When evil and impure forces encounter the righteous power of a Heavenly Tribulation, how can they possibly contend with it?

"This... how is it possible?"

"Our Blood Moon Essence has actually been suppressed?"

Dozens of Refining Moon Sect Disciples instantly underwent a dramatic change in expression, filled with Disbelief!

"Hahaha, you bunch of little dumb-fucks, come on, keep hitting me; if you don't hit me, I'll come hit you!" Amidst the sheets of Golden Lightning, Xu Que laughed loudly, hopping and jumping, running straight toward those dozens of Refining Moon Sect Disciples.

"Ah!"

The many Refining Moon Sect Disciples were instantly terrified; their faces immediately lost all color, turning deathly pale, as they cried out in horror, "You... Your Mother's Paralysis, don't come over here!"
