The nation of Bangzi, closest to Tianchi.
Under the leadership of Han Yibang, Bangzi had long surrendered to Ao Yuan's command.
At this moment.
Han Yibang was leading his soldiers in rebuilding Bangzi.
However.
Upon discovering the anomaly near Tianchi, all those who were busy stopped their work at once, their eyes fixated on the direction of Tianchi from afar.
"What has happened!" Han Yibang took a deep breath, utterly astonished.
For some reason, just by looking at the anomaly near Tianchi, he felt a surge of fear from the depths of his heart that he could not stop.
"Taibai Mountain, what exactly is the Dragon God doing?"
With a look of terror, Han Yibang muttered to himself.
In a certain open area.
The soldiers of a nation gathered here, their faces solemn as they gazed at a blank yet slightly distorted space ahead.
Here!
The entrance to a newly discovered small world was taking shape, and it was estimated that this small world entrance would fully emerge soon.
When that time comes!
Perhaps an unprecedented war awaited them!
"It's here!"
Suddenly, the leader shouted, and the faces of countless soldiers changed as they raised their weapons at the same time.
As the space distorted, monstrous and bizarre creatures emerged from the warped space.
They were all fierce and terrifying, exuding an aura that chilled the bone.
Seeing this, the soldiers' expressions turned extremely solemn.
They knew the great battle was about to begin!
However.
Just as the leading soldier was about to give the order.
They saw that these newly emerged bizarre creatures did not look at them. Instead, they were all staring blankly into the distance.
Then.
Their faces changed drastically, as if they had discovered something extremely terrifying, and they all retreated back into the small world without looking back.
"What... what is going on?"
Seeing this, the soldiers looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Filled with confusion, they all cast their gaze in the direction where the bizarre creatures had been looking.
There!
The sky was covered in darkness, with lightning flashing brilliantly, as if brewing something.
"Is that... the direction of Great Xia?"
Seeing this from afar, the leading soldier muttered to himself.
"Quick, quick, go investigate what has happened in Great Xia!"
Then he suddenly came to his senses and shouted repeatedly.
Such an anomaly that could cause creatures from a small world to retreat without warning was definitely not simple!
...
At the same time.
Taibai Mountain, the center of everyone's attention.
Ao Yuan, engulfed in a sea of lightning, let out an incredibly loud dragon's roar.
"Roar!"
"Begone, mere heavenly tribulation!"
Boom!
At this moment, the tribulation lightning that had been coiling around Ao Yuan's body scattered completely, and waves of lightning surged out from within him.
He now floated in the air, completely unharmed. The lightning not only did not cause him any damage.
Instead, it caused the pale golden scales all over his body to be tinged with a faint bluish glow!
It was as if he had donned a new set of armor.
"As expected... the tribulation lightning can temper me." Ao Yuan moved his body, thinking to himself.
Just like during his last tribulation, the innate ability to attract lightning could minimize the damage of the lightning to his body to the greatest extent.
And he had not been harmed in this battle; instead, the innate ability had tempered him.
"The first bolt of tribulation lightning has already passed?"
Seeing Ao Yuan reappear, the Fallen Angel's eyes widened in disbelief.
He recalled how agonizing his own tribulation had been back then, while Ao Yuan had passed through it so easily.
"This is only the first one!" Bruel Gula's eyes flickered, and he replied calmly after a moment.
"There are still thirty-five more!"
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the sky.
Looking up, they saw that the second tribulation cloud flower in the sky had already bloomed.
Then!
A bolt of tribulation lightning far thicker than before emerged from the tribulation cloud flower, then with a terrifying might, it cascaded down towards Ao Yuan below.
Ao Yuan raised his gaze slightly, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
Just like before, he did not remain in mid-air to await his fate.
With a flash of his body, he charged into the lightning.
Allowing the terrifying lightning to strike him, to unleash its fury.
Sizzle sizzle!
In the blink of an eye, Ao Yuan's surroundings once again turned into a sea of lightning.
This scene caused Bruel Gula and the others not far away to tremble with fear.
They had truly not expected this.
Ao Yuan, facing the next bolt of tribulation lightning, did not pause but instead charged into it.
Was he not afraid of lightning?
This thought arose in their minds.
But as soon as it arose, they couldn't help but shake their heads and cast aside this unrealistic thought.
This was tribulation lightning!
No matter how strong Ao Yuan was, could he not be afraid of tribulation lightning?
Having lived for so long, they had never heard of anyone who was not afraid of tribulation lightning!
However, as they thought this, Ao Yuan within the lightning was filled with excitement.
With the innate ability to attract lightning activated, this bolt of tribulation lightning had not caused him any harm.
Instead, faintly.
He could even feel his strength improving slightly.
"Hahahaha!"
"What is mere tribulation lightning! Bring it on!"
Ao Yuan roared to the sky, and then flipped his body.
Carrying the terrifying light of the tribulation lightning, he charged towards the densest area of tribulation lightning.
"This... is he not afraid of death?"
The Snow Wolf trembled from afar, his eyes filled with such shock that he forgot the pain from his broken body.
"If he continues like this, won't he pass through these thirty-six bolts of tribulation lightning with ease?" the Succubus was also astonished.
"Let's just keep watching!"
In contrast, Bruel Gula remained calm.
He said in a calm tone, "This is just the beginning!"
As if to echo Bruel Gula's words, or perhaps hearing Ao Yuan's earlier declaration, the tribulation lightning roared. The tribulation cloud flowers, one after another, emitted buzzing sounds as they bloomed. /
Several incredibly thick lightning dragons roared and intertwined above the tribulation clouds.
They complemented each other, roaring and entwining, and then descended upon Ao Yuan together.
Several bolts of tribulation lightning struck down upon him, instantly engulfing Ao Yuan's entire body.
The power of the tribulation lightning was incredibly terrifying.
Some stray bolts of lightning surged outwards and accidentally struck a peak on Taibai Mountain.
The top of that mountain peak simply vanished from everyone's sight.
However.
Ao Yuan, struck by so much tribulation lightning, seemed as if nothing had happened.
"Is this fake?"
Bruel Gula and the others' faces changed slightly, even the usually steady Bruel Gula was like this.
Charging into the tribulation lightning against the flow was one thing.
To be struck by so many bolts of tribulation lightning and still be like nothing happened.
Was this truly tribulation lightning?
Or was it just some ordinary lightning?
Especially Bruel Gula, who couldn't help but recall the tragic state of his own tribulation back then, making Ao Yuan's current situation seem even more unbelievable.
