The greater the combined strength covered by the heavenly tribulation, the more terrifying and widespread its power.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, a fierce wind whipped up in the sky, and thunder dragons raged and roared.
An immensely oppressive aura of destruction was rapidly condensing.
At this moment,
The sky itself seemed on the verge of collapse.
Taibai Mountain.
A group of demonic beasts, completely unaware of what was happening on the summit, looked up at the heavens in terror.
The aura emanating from the sky made them feel extremely uneasy and frightened.
This was the might of heaven!
In fact,
It wasn't just them; even Bruh·Gula and his party were overwhelmed by this terrifying pressure, unsure of what to do.
"Gula, should we leave now?" the Fallen Angel asked hesitantly.
Bruh·Gula, appearing in human form, looked exceptionally indecisive.
At this critical juncture, he was unwilling to simply depart.
One step!
He was just one step away from successfully absorbing Ao Yuan's blood and using it to recover his peak strength!
"Leave!"
Bruh·Gula finally gritted his teeth and grunted, "Let's leave here first. We'll come back to see after the lightning tribulation has subsided."
"How much strength we can recover then..." Bruh·Gula looked up at the darkening sky, exhaled a long breath, and said, "It will be up to fate."
"Alright!"
The Fallen Angel, Succubus, and Old Witch nodded gravely. They had no better options at this point.
However, as they were about to leave, they noticed that the Snow Wolf remained rooted to the spot, seemingly dissatisfied with Bruh·Gula's decision.
"Snow Wolf, you don't want to leave?"
"Ah! Dammit!"
The Snow Wolf was so angry he almost spat blood. They could leave easily because they hadn't expended much strength.
But the Snow Wolf was different; he had sacrificed half of his body.
If he couldn't recover his strength this time, his power would be significantly weakened.
How could he willingly leave?
But as he looked up at the continuously growing tribulation clouds in the sky, reason finally overcame his unwillingness.
"Let's go!"
He roared through gritted teeth, and dragging his body, he was the first to leave Taibai Mountain.
Seeing the Snow Wolf leave, Bruh·Gula and the others no longer hesitated and also departed Taibai Mountain.
Of course, they didn't go far; they retreated to a location that was extremely safe yet still allowed them to observe from a distance.
After all, fear of the heavenly tribulation was one thing.
But to make them retreat and give up on Ao Yuan was simply impossible.
Their only hope now was that Ao Yuan wouldn't be annihilated under the heavenly tribulation, and they could still pick up some scraps.
At this moment!
The sky, already filled with dark clouds, grew even more dense, as if the entire world had been plunged into darkness.
An suffocating pressure swept across the land, carrying dust with it.
Following that,
The heavens churned, and the countless bolts of lightning roaming the tribulation clouds gradually formed a magnificent flower.
The flower was an eerie, dark hue. As it appeared, it felt as if a giant hand was gripping everyone's throat, making normal breathing impossible.
Some of the demonic beasts on Taibai Mountain trembled uncontrollably. This was the might of heaven!
A might they were completely incapable of resisting!
"The tribulation cloud flower has appeared, the lightning tribulation is about to begin!" Bruh·Gula looked up at everything in the sky, his voice extremely solemn.
"I faced nine bolts previously. I wonder how many he'll have to endure."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes shifted. They looked at Ao Yuan, who was still lying on the ground in the distance, and then up at the continuously forming tribulation cloud flowers in the sky, as if pondering something.
Tribulation cloud flower!
One tribulation cloud flower represented one bolt of tribulation lightning.
Legend had it that the more tribulation lightning there was, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be.
Naturally, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation, the fewer beings survived, but those who did were destined for greatness and could soar to unparalleled heights!
Bruh·Gula had endured nine bolts. Based on their estimation of Ao Yuan,
He could suppress them even at the Spirit Sea realm, so his lightning tribulation would surely be formidable.
"There should be twelve bolts!" the Fallen Angel mused.
"His strength is considered formidable, and furthermore, this isn't happening in a sparsely populated area."
"The heavenly tribulation must have also factored in his subordinates on Taibai Mountain. Although their strength isn't high, their combined power would still contribute to the tribulation lightning..."
"Look at the tribulation lightning flowers!"
Before the Fallen Angel could finish speaking, the Succubus let out a startled cry.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
In the sky,
Twelve tribulation cloud flowers had already bloomed.
But the tribulation cloud flowers didn't stop there; they continued to form.
In a short time, another one appeared.
Two!
Three!
"Fifteen tribulation cloud flowers!" the Snow Wolf exclaimed.
His words changed the expressions of those around him.
Fifteen tribulation cloud flowers!
This was a level none of them could reach!
From this alone, it was evident that Ao Yuan's strength far surpassed theirs.
"No way! They're still forming!" the Succubus also cried out.
"It should stop around eighteen!" The Old Witch, who had been watching the sky intently, frowned and offered her analysis.
Her words surprised everyone. They hadn't expected her to give such a high estimate.
Nine was considered the ultimate number.
To achieve what Bruh·Gula had was already rare, and eighteen bolts of tribulation lightning were even rarer.
Even in ancient times, few great beings had reached such a level.
However,
Before they could be in awe for long,
Within a few seconds, they made a shocking discovery.
The tribulation lightning quickly reached the eighteen bolts predicted by the Old Witch.
But it didn't stop there!
The tribulation cloud flowers continued to manifest rapidly.
One.
Five.
Ten!
...
In a short period, a total of thirty-six tribulation cloud flowers had appeared!
At this moment,
The sky was completely filled with these tribulation cloud flowers.
The unparalleled, terrifying aura not only caused the demonic beasts of Taibai Mountain to tremble,
But even the powerful Bruh·Gula and his party could not escape its effects!
"My God! Thirty-six tribulation cloud flowers!"
Bruh·Gula shuddered, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He had thought himself exceptional for facing nine tribulation cloud flowers!
But Ao Yuan,
Had four times as many!
Thirty-six tribulation cloud flowers!
This wasn't simply a matter of adding one plus one plus one!
With each additional tribulation cloud flower, the power unleashed grew exponentially.
The power contained within thirty-six tribulation cloud flowers was already unimaginable!
Even he, at his peak, could not withstand it!
