Chapter 442: The White Emperor Dragon Transformation Tribulation
Chapter 442: The White Emperor Dragon Transformation Tribulation
Boom—
A thunderclap drew everyone's attention. The Yin Corpse Mountain Range, where the Corpse Driving Sect was located, had never seen lightning due to the excessive yin energy.
But today, the skies above the Yin Corpse Mountain Range roared with clouds, interwoven with lightning, completely covered by blinding white thunderbolts, as if the world was being reborn, teeming with vitality.
"All disciples of the Corpse Driving Sect, evacuate!" Elder Gai organized the disciples to evacuate the sect. Sect Master Lu's breakthrough was faster than anticipated, making the Corpse Driving Sect extremely dangerous, with a high probability of being struck by the tribulation lightning.
The tribulation lightning for breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing stage was not something the disciples could withstand; even a slight touch would mean death!
The three from Governor Lu's side and the two from Wu Youdao's side tacitly stopped fighting.
At the level of this tribulation lightning, there should be no energy fluctuations nearby, or else the tribulation lightning might mistake it for interference and target them.
The three from Governor Lu's side took the opportunity to recover their bodies, preparing for the next battle.
They were relieved that with Sect Master Lu joining, the balance of victory and defeat was restored. The outcome of their battle with the Great Yu cultivators was still uncertain!
Zhao Po was extremely excited. Was it nine thousand or ten thousand years? The Corpse Driving Sect had not seen a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator for so long, reducing them from a super-grade sect to a first-grade sect. Today, they finally had a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, could they reclaim the title of a super-grade sect?This was the difference between the five major immortal sects and super-grade sects. A super-grade sect required a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, but cultivators eventually fall. When that happens, the super-grade sect becomes a first-grade sect.
In contrast, even when the five major immortal sects are in decline, with several generations unable to produce a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, they still have means comparable to the Tribulation Crossing stage, maintaining their immortal sect status.
The Seek Tao Sect experienced such a period five thousand years ago, with no Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator for two thousand years, until the revival by Daoist Hanhai.
During those two thousand years, the Seek Tao Sect remained one of the five major immortal sects.
The tribulation lightning continued to brew in the sky, with only occasional bolts striking down, earth-shattering but not even the prelude.
Crack—
Dark clouds rolled and pressed down, white lightning flickered, the tribulation lightning fully erupted, covering the Corpse Driving Sect, gradually dissipating the yin energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Yin Corpse Mountain Range.
A long howl echoed, vaguely contending with the tribulation lightning. A Taoist in a robe broke through and flew into the sky, summoning various artifacts, clearly well-prepared.
"So this is crossing the tribulation." Lu Yang marveled. He had long heard that cultivators must cross the tribulation, but today was his first time witnessing it, and it was the tribulation for breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing stage, incredibly powerful.
Even from half of Hanshui City away, he could feel the tremors of the world, showing how powerful the tribulation lightning above the Corpse Driving Sect was.
"This tribulation lightning is just so-so." The Immortal Fairy pouted, not finding the tribulation lightning impressive.
If it were her, she could pass it while yawning, no need to prepare so many things.
"Is there any explanation for the tribulation lightning?" Lu Yang remembered that the Immortal Fairy was an expert on tribulation lightning.
After all, the current tribulation lightning originated from Heavenly Immortal Ying's Dao fruit.
"Heavenly Immortal Ying created the tribulation lightning to temper cultivators, not to kill them. The stronger the tribulation lightning, the greater the talent. Look at this tribulation lightning, it seems impressive, but if you really face it, you'll find its power quite ordinary."
"This tribulation lightning is called the White Emperor Dragon Transformation Tribulation, one of the weaker ones."
The white tribulation lightning transformed into a dragon emperor, its whiskers flying, scales shimmering, baring its fangs and claws, as if a true dragon had gained intelligence!
The white dragon emperor roared and clashed with Sect Master Lu, directly piercing his flesh, exposing white bones and emanating death!
"Sect Master Lu is going to die?!" Lu Yang was shocked. Did Sect Master Lu fail so quickly?
"No, that's a zombie. His real body is hiding below. Smart move, knowing the first wave of tribulation lightning is too strong to withstand, so he used a zombie to block it." The Immortal Fairy saw through Sect Master Lu's trick at a glance.
Sure enough, as the Immortal Fairy said, the zombie was shattered, and the real Sect Master Lu emerged from the ground to face the tribulation lightning.
After the first wave of attacks, the white dragon emperor's power was somewhat reduced.
Boom!
The white dragon emperor attacked again, Sect Master Lu's body wracked with pain, screaming in agony, white lightning leaving electric scars on his body, burning his flesh and soul.
He hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his bosom, consuming a pill. As soon as he took one to recover his body, the remaining pills and the jade bottle disappeared into the vast tribulation lightning.
The white dragon emperor was unstoppable, crushing the void, subjecting Sect Master Lu to relentless tempering.
The tribulation lightning dissipated, the pressure suddenly reduced, and the turbulent spiritual power gradually calmed down.
Sect Master Lu's body was charred, like a piece of charcoal, falling to the ground with a clang.
"Failed?" The whole city felt a sinking feeling, murmuring and buzzing.
If Sect Master Lu failed to cross the tribulation, no one could resist the Great Yu cultivators.
"Look, the sect master's body moved!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Thump, thump, thump—
A strong heartbeat sounded, indicating internal injuries healing, hidden wounds disappearing.
Then came the sound of cracking, Sect Master Lu's outer layer of charred skin peeled off, revealing new, crystal-clear skin, making him look ten years younger.
"The tribulation lightning contains vitality, the lightning baptized the sect master's body, making his flesh several times, even ten times stronger than before!" Elder Gai said excitedly, recalling the records of the Corpse Driving Sect's ancestors breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing stage.
Sect Master Lu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, piercing through the clouds.
He stood up straight, brimming with vitality, completely different from his previous battered state during the tribulation, looking renewed and confident.
He had clearly crossed the tribulation, becoming a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator!
The whole city cheered, whether it was Governor Lu's three men or the city's residents, seeing Sect Master Lu successfully cross the tribulation, their anxious hearts finally relaxed.
Only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were not happy. During the tribulation, Sect Master Lu's clothes were torn by the heavenly lightning, and they both stared at Sect Master Lu's right wrist, their scalps tingling, feeling horrified.
There were three interlocking rings, with the character "ghost" in the middle!
This was the same mark they had seen on the wrist of an ownerless zombie when they stayed overnight in Solid Stone Village. The village chief had explained it:
"An ownerless zombie has two possible reasons: either the owner is dead, and the zombie is out of control, wandering aimlessly, or the owner has voluntarily released control over the zombie. Otherwise, the zombie has backfired and eaten the owner."
A zombie can withstand the tribulation lightning, Sect Master Lu couldn't have voluntarily released control over the zombie.
Sect Master Lu was still here, so the zombie hadn't eaten its owner.
That left only one possibility—Sect Master Lu had already died, and his zombie had wandered to Solid Stone Village, where the village chief found it!
Since Sect Master Lu had died, who was controlling his body now?!
The two exchanged a glance, instantly thinking of a possibility.
"A Great Yu Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator has taken over Sect Master Lu's body!"
The second chapter will be at eleven o'clock.
