Roar!
Accompanied by a dragon's roar that shook heaven and earth, Qingcang launched an attack at the tribulation thunder!
The giant dragon and the fierce beast collided in midair, imdiately triggering a ferocious and intense battle.
The scene suddenly no longer looked like a Tribulation Transcendence, but rather two monsters vying to the bitter end, deciding victory, defeat, and life or death.
Aooo—
Qingcang was caught off guard for a mont and struck hard at the waist by the beast, letting out a mournful howl as his massive body was sent flying backward, his montum dropping significantly.
This sight made everyone from the Li family tremble with fear, worried he'd fail his tribulation because of it.
Qingcang would never be defeated by such a minor setback; without even catching his breath, he charged back in, fighting the tribulation thunder's fierce beast once more.
In just an instant, a unique rain fell from the skies—a mixture of Qingcang's blood and fragnts of tribulation thunder.
"Looks like the Water Monarch may not escape his fate…" a cultivator murmured quietly, thinking it a real pity.
A Divine who'd once been highly confident in breaking through to Heavenly Immortal was now, through a sudden mishap, facing the fate of perishing and losing his Dao.
This turn of events inevitably drew sighs of regret from everyone.
"Can't you say sothing positive? If it goes as you say, the Li family won't let us off easily! At that ti, they might rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let a single one escape."
"Ah? Surely the Li family wouldn't do sothing so brutal?"
"Who knows? We're talking about a Heavenly Immortal here!"
Among those present, there were clever-minded individuals who'd already considered such outcos, their faces showing anxiety and unease.
At the sa ti, they sincerely prayed Qingcang could weather this tribulation and succeed in reaching Heavenly Immortal, maybe then the Li family would gloss over this matter, given the joy of such an occasion.
This battle could only be described as earth-shattering, hard to tell who was superior.
Yet with his lack of strength, Qingcang was constantly at a disadvantage, his scales flying everywhere, body covered in wounds and blood, appearing utterly miserable and pitiable.
The fierce beast looked battered too, but was still in much better shape than Qingcang.
By this stage, the outco was nearly settled—failure was only a matter of ti.
But Qingcang didn't give up; gritting his teeth, he swallowed several top-grade Pills, burning rit to boost his own combat power.
Roar!
With a thunderous dragon's roar, Qingcang seed to fully recover, bringing countless ocean waters to overwhelm the tribulation thunder beast.
On the other hand, the tribulation thunder, which lacked spiritual intelligence, couldn't heal or restore itself; when its power was used up, it was gone.
In an instant, the situation shifted drastically.
Qingcang's action stunned the crowd of cultivators, but on reflection, it seed this was the only way to break the deadlock.
Though such a move left him extrely injured and even hard his very foundation, if he didn't survive this tribulation, he'd die and lose his Dao right on the spot!
Which is more important—a matter that's obvious at a glance?
With Qingcang's restored strength, he began pressing the attack, reversing the previous suppression from the tribulation thunder.
And since most of the tribulation thunder's power had already been spent, its strength waned, making things ever easier for Qingcang.
Rumble—
A towering wave appeared out of nowhere and slamd heavily into the tribulation thunder, causing its form to flicker and nearly collapse.
Following close behind, the thirty-six Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls radiated brilliant spirit light, delivering the final blow.
With a loud crash, the huge tribulation thunder beast was smashed to pieces, turning into motes of lightning scattered in all directions.
"Huff huff huff—"
Having defeated this powerful foe, Qingcang could no longer maintain his massive true form; he reverted to his human Taoist Body, staggered, and nearly fell into the sea.
But his pale face and depleted aura made people worry—could he handle the upcoming Heart Demon Tribulation?
Though the Heart Demon Tribulation mainly tested willpower and mind, spirit is a unity; in his current state, Qingcang's Dao Heart was bound to be affected.
But as outsiders, they couldn't interfere—so they simply waited in place.
Not long after, a streak of black light descended from the sky, plunging straight into Qingcang's body.
At that mont, he truly was in a terrible state; even the spirit light emitted from his spiritual soul seed dim, like a candle about to go out.
Yet Qingcang still felt so confidence in passing the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Because he had cultivated the White Lotus Purifying World Visualization Skill, which Li Zhirui had developed, and this skill carried the Power of Purification Law, making it perfect for countering the heart demon.
Moreover, to be safe, Qingcang had made preparations well in advance.
With a thought, several rit Treasure Pearls hidden in his Sea of Consciousness appeared, then exploded, turning into rit Fire that burned within the Sea of Consciousness.
With the White Lotus protecting his spiritual soul and rit Fire weakening the heart demon, he safely survived the Heart Demon Tribulation, and seed not–
Only, after this ordeal, the rit Qingcang had accumulated for years was completely spent in this great tribulation!
And due to hurriedly refining large amounts of Precious Pill several tis, his own dantian and ridians were severely damaged; after the thunder tribulation, even if his foundation wasn't ruined, the injuries were grave and hard to heal—it could take years to recover.
Still, Qingcang felt not a trace of regret; though he had paid a steep price, he had achieved one major goal: breaking through to Heavenly Immortal!
Of course, he wanted to go further, reach higher realms, transcend and depart—but if he couldn't even break through to Heavenly Immortal, what future could he talk about?
"Hoo!"
Watching the tribulation thunder dissipate, clouds transford into vast, pure spiritual energy rolling in, everyone—Li Mingyao, his clansn, and other cultivators—couldn't help but sigh in relief.
At the sa ti, they were amazed; to think that Qingcang, in such poor shape, could pass the Heart Demon Tribulation so easily in the end.
Except for a few cultivators, everyone else was happy for Qingcang's breakthrough—so because it ant the family had grown stronger, others because no disaster had occurred, so the Li family wouldn't slaughter indiscriminately and their lives were safe.
Soon, all the spiritual energy was absorbed by Qingcang, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions.
No one felt anything amiss, only Li Mingyao's brows briefly knitting, then smoothing out.
As a Heavenly Immortal, he was more familiar with and understood Heavenly Immortal aura better than anyone; in his senses, this pressure was much weaker than normal!
There was only one explanation: Qingcang's injuries were simply too severe!
But Li Mingyao had no good solution for this; it just wasn't his area of expertise.
"Many thanks to everyone for safeguarding !"
Stubbornly forcing himself to say these words, Qingcang turned into a streak of spirit light, instantly disappearing into the cave mansion, preparing to focus on healing.
