Chapter 1208

Outside the cave dwelling, Yun Mengmeng held an immature immortal spirit fruit as a sandbag, throwing it at Gantian, who nimbly dodged; the immortal spirit fruit was caught by Seeing Seeing Seeing Qing He standing behind, and Seeing Seeing Seeing Qing He continued throwing it at Gantian, who kept dodging.

The three girls were having a great time.

Lu Yang took two deep breaths, smiled faintly, and walked out of the cave dwelling calmly and unhurriedly.

Although I don't know what kind of heavenly tribulation this will be, I'll first appear to have everything under control.

"Mengmeng sister, my realm breakthrough is imminent and I must face the tribulation; you all go down the mountain first..."

Yun Mengmeng didn't expect the second-in-command to come out now; in a moment of carelessness, she failed to catch the thrown immortal spirit fruit, which fell to the ground.

Then it exploded with a boom.

It drowned out Lu Yang's voice.

Immature immortal spirit fruits possess explosive properties.

Yun Mengmeng jumped in fright, hurriedly expressing concern and comforting Lu Yang: "Second-in-command, are you alright? You just said you were going to face the tribulation, didn't you?"

Lu Yang was blown into a sooty mess, coughed twice, and no longer had his earlier calm demeanor: "Cough, I'm fine, you all hurry down the mountain."

"Okay, okay."

Yun Mengmeng hurriedly carried down the mountain a sack full of immature immortal spirit fruits, just in case that heavenly tribulation struck sideways and hit the immortal spirit fruits, otherwise the second-in-command would be blown up to heaven.

After the three girls left, Tianmen Peak was left with only Lu Yang; he took another deep breath, calmed his mind, and opened his arms to embrace the vast heavens.

He fully released his realm, welcoming the heavenly tribulation.

"I am fully prepared, heavenly tribulation, come!"

Lu Yang stood with arms outstretched like a crucifix and waited half a day, but the heavenly tribulation did not descend.

"Strange, where is the heavenly tribulation?"

"You say how this tribulation should be faced, and I will strike accordingly."

Ying Tian Xian thought seriously, feeling that deciding what kind of heavenly tribulation to send down should not be up to herself, after all, her understanding of Lu Yang was far inferior to that of Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi Daoist and the Immortal of Eternity.

Only those who know Lu Yang best can decide what kind of heavenly tribulation to send down.

Upon hearing Ying Tian Xian say this, the Immortal of Eternity expressed great delight: "That's wonderful, pick a light thunder tribulation and strike twice just for show."

"Good, then I will send down..."

"Inappropriate, little junior brother has not yet become an immortal, lacks experience, and now facing the tribulation he begins to slack off; how will his cultivation fare in the future? He should be sent down a heavier thunder tribulation."

"Good, then I will send down..."

"I see little Yangzi is doing quite well now—spirited, energetic, strong in body, not lacking in experience; just send down a thunder tribulation to make do."

"As the Immortal senior said, little junior brother's spirit, energy, and vigor are full, his physique is strong, but he still has room for improvement; isn't it better to advance further from the top of a hundred-foot pole?"

"Ying Tian, you speak—what tribulation should little Yangzi face?"

"Ying Tian Xian senior should know the principle that the stronger the thunder tribulation, the better."

The two turned their heads together to look toward Ying Tian Xian.

Ying Tian Xian broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, unsure which side to choose.

Is this Lu Yang facing the tribulation, or am I facing the tribulation?

"Since ancient times, the strong are honored; why not let the Immortal of Eternity and Daoist Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi have a match, so the stronger and weaker will be decided?"

The originally tight-lipped and solemn Immortal of Eternity suddenly coughed: "This immortal's injuries are too severe; I need rest and recovery, and cannot yet return to peak condition; Yun girl should not bear to fight me now."

"When my injuries heal, I will contend with Yun girl for superiority!"

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi felt a bit regretful, having taken the Si Ming as hush money; was this hush money too cheap?

"Immortal senior, why not we mediate?" Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi proactively proposed.

"You see, there are eighty-one thunder tribulations in total; we can take turns, light then heavy, light totaling eighty-one, heavy also totaling eighty-one; this way both our demands can be met."

The Immortal of Eternity seriously considered for a moment, feeling this was a good idea.

Although not lowering all thunder tribulation power as per her own request, reducing by half also counts as doing justice to little Yangzi.

Legend has it that Lu Yang's realm breakthrough requires facing tribulation; the upper and lower echelons of the Dao Sect came to watch the spectacle, even those running barbecue stalls and slaughterhouses came over.

Previously, Lu Yang's tribulation during the Spirit Transformation stage was remarkably long and eye-opening; this tribulation during the Void Refinement stage should also be extraordinary.

"Why hasn't the heavenly tribulation descended yet?"

People whispered among themselves, feeling this was unusual.

"I've never heard of heavenly tribulation being late."

Everyone was puzzled; in the Cultivation Realm, realm breakthrough immediately brings heavenly tribulation descent—this is an iron law from ancient times to the present, three hundred thousand years, and no one has ever been heard to be an exception.

"Why does Lu Senior Brother keep standing with arms outstretched? Is it some kind of ritual?"

"Maybe this is because Lu Senior Brother is very strong?"

Boom—

The long-awaited heavenly tribulation descended upon the crowd, striking like a pillar, bombarding Lu Yang's body, bright and blinding.

Though they were far from Tianmen Peak, when the heavenly tribulation descended, it was still deafening, their chests buzzing, as if resonating with the heavenly tribulation; one can imagine the pressure Lu Yang faced at the tribulation's center.

"It's here, it's here, finally here—what kind of heavenly tribulation is this? It looks incredibly powerful!"

"I don't recognize it."

"Hurry to the Sutra Pavilion to borrow the《Compendium of Heavenly Tribulations》!"

"I've memorized the《Compendium of Heavenly Tribulations》—there's no such heavenly tribulation!"

"Who let you read the《Compendium of Heavenly Tribulations》? You were supposed to attach a blank sheet at the back; the heavenly tribulation needs updating!"

"Makes sense, makes sense!"

At first, Lu Yang was startled by the heavenly tribulation—Is Ying Tian Xian senior really this fierce?

But soon he noticed something odd—this Lei Jie looked fearsome, yet when it struck him it was merely a tingling numbness, quite pleasant, like a massage.

"It seems Ying Tian Xian senior is still kind to me……ah——"

Lu Yang hadn't finished speaking when he took the second Lei Jie squarely; compared to the previous one, this Lei Jie's power was worlds apart.

Originally Lu Yang thought the Lei Jie lacked power and had relaxed his guard, but the second Lei Jie struck him so hard he nearly went into convulsions.

"First use a weak Lei Jie to make me relax, then suddenly unleash a powerful Lei Jie?"

"Ying Tian Xian senior, you wouldn't go that far, would you? Using tactics against me?"

Always it is cultivators facing Lei Jie who employ tactics; Lu Yang had never before encountered Lei Jie using tactics.

As Lu Yang was fully guarding against the third Lei Jie, the Lei Jie again became a tingling numbness.

Lu Yang dared not slacken, and sure enough the fourth Lei Jie's power was astonishing—utterly not what a Void Refining stage Lei Jie should possess.

"Hiss, it hurts so much."

With so many admirers watching below, Lu Yang felt the pain inside but uttered not a sound, quite steadfast.

Lu Yang repeatedly hypnotized himself in his heart: eighty-one Lei Jie, endure and it will pass; eighty-one Lei Jie, endure and it will pass.

When the eighty-one Lei Jie had descended, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief; though the ordeal had been harsh, he could barely endure it.

Just a Lei Jie, nothing more.

Then the eighty-second Lei Jie gathered its power, waiting to strike.

"Wait, how is there still a Lei Jie?!"
