This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1287 - 85: Thunder Rumbles, Winds Rise

What is an artifact tribulation?

Just like when a cultivator reaches a certain realm, their powerful cultivation will trigger the heavenly tribulation as a test.

If they can cross it, they make further progress; if not, they perish.

The sa applies to magic artifacts.

When their grade reaches a certain level, their inherent strength causes a disturbance in the heavens and earth, ultimately resulting in an artifact tribulation.

Only after crossing it does a magic artifact truly complete its transformation and beco stronger.

The greatest hope of countless artifact refiners in their lifeti is to craft an artifact that can invoke an artifact tribulation.

For them, it is the highest honor, even if it costs their lives under the artifact tribulation.

At this mont, the awe-inspiring power of heaven and earth can be seen, and Mo Yan, as a bystander, feels a trace of apprehension.

The thick clouds are dispersing, becoming increasingly dense, covering most of the sky in the blink of an eye.

From a distance, it seems as if they will press down to the ground, giving a suffocating sense of oppression.

Within the clouds, lightning flickers in all directions. Occasionally, when they touch each other, they explode in a thunderous roar, adding to the chilling sensation.

Mo Yan watched Lu Qingshan, who remained unfazed under such celestial thunder, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

Boom!

The clouds, having reached a certain point, suddenly shot out a massive lightning bolt.

The glaring and blinding light, like the sword of a heavenly god, tore open the sky, illuminating the entire darkened heaven and earth.

This sudden violent lightning caused Mo Yan's expression to change, his brows slightly furrowing, and his hairs stood on end.

Clearly, the intensity of this artifact tribulation was several degrees fiercer than he had imagined.

Peach Blossom trembled slightly, emitting a humming sound, appearing very uneasy.

None under heavenly thunder are unafraid.

But to beco stronger, one must confront the heavenly thunder.

It's like a person with acrophobia forcing themselves to bungee jump, requiring imnse courage and determination.

Under the clouds, Lu Qingshan raised his head, gazing at the thunder that slashed the heaven's vault.

The thunder seed to explode by his ears, causing a buzzing sensation in his eardrums.

"What has to co will co, Peach Blossom, let's do this together." He smiled slightly, his expression calm, comforting Peach Blossom.

Buzz!

Peach Blossom Sword's body trembled in response.

Just like a cultivator crossing a tribulation, others cannot interfere.

For an artifact crossing a tribulation, aside from its owner and the artifact itself, no one else can intervene, otherwise, it doesn't count as crossing the lightning tribulation.

The light and darkness of the lightning flickered in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

He pressed his fingers together, gently brushing his forehead.

There, a Purple Gold Lotus slowly erged like an opening heavenly eye,

Extre Realm Ten Flowers.

The elent force within his dantian began to surge, roaring like waves.

Crackling sounds.

The thunder within the clouds grew more intense, shaking the heavens and earth like a celestial drum, breathtaking.

After a few monts, the clouds suddenly opened a crack.

Then, a heavenly thunder, with a resounding roar, erged like an angry dragon from the black clouds, shooting forth.

Its target was Lu Qingshan in front of the ancient temple, and the jade-green Peach Blossom before him!

Seeing the heavenly thunder crash down, a glint of solemnity flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

He clenched his palm, grasping the lustrous jade-like Peach Blossom.

The sword's body gained an elusive unique resonance and sharper intent, as if ready to pierce everything.

Lu Qingshan let out a low shout, his figure suddenly rising into the air, then swung the sword.

The dense sword shadows appeared, fiercely striking the descending thunder dragon.

Furious thunder descended.

Flying swords rose upward.

The layers of sword shadows, like an endless chain, fiercely collided with the thunder dragon, forcefully slicing it apart.

Countless thread-thin lightnings rapidly dispersed under this sword, like tiny serpents, filling the sky outside the ancient temple.

A swarm of serpents danced wildly.

Having split the thunder dragon with one strike, Lu Qingshan took a deep breath.

His tiger's mouth was slightly numb.

This exchange was not as effortless as it appeared on the surface.

Because the power of this heavenly thunder had already reached the level of a full-force attack from a Seventh Realm Cultivator.

Moreover, this was rely the beginning.

The oppressive black clouds churned even more violently, as if enraged by Lu Qingshan's actions.

After a mont.

The crackling sounds rang through the heaven's vault, as lightning twice as thick as the previous thunder dragon rolled out from the clouds again.

Heavenly thunder spanned across heaven and earth like a divine descent to the mortal world.

Lu Qingshan gazed intently at this thunderbolt, the Purple Gold Lotus on his brow dazzling, releasing a ray of light that rged into the Peach Blossom.

The boundless elent force continued to surge, like a dragon, like a dragon-serpent, rushing into the Peach Blossom sword.

Lu Qingshan slightly loosened his grip, and the peach blossom flew out in an instant, whistling forth. Under Mo Yan's shocked gaze, the green sword light tore through the Heaven's Vault, shooting straight up to et the descending heavenly thunder.

Bang!

The flying sword and heavenly thunder collided violently, and a massive silver light burst open like a giant firework in midair.

Rumble!

With Lu Qingshan's absolutely formidable posture, two streaks of silver thunder were shattered in succession. The dark clouds seed to carry emotions like a human, becoming even more enraged.

At present, silver snakes rolled, and bolts of lightning fell like rain, incessantly crashing down one after another toward Lu Qingshan, whose figure floated above the ancient temple.

Looking at this wave of offensives composed of dense heavenly thunder, each bolt of thunder carried a power equivalent to a full-force strike from a Seventh Realm Cultivator.

This was the kind of heavenly thunder that would suffocate a Seventh Realm Cultivator.

But Lu Qingshan, only at the Sixth Realm cultivation, faced this scene with eyes brimming with battle intention, showing no trace of fear.

At twenty-three, it was the age of ambition, not to ntion he was the most arrogant Sword Cultivator.

Although his unique life experiences had shaped him into a steady and calm character, his essence was ultimately arrogant and wanton.

At this mont, he was displaying the arrogance of a Sword Cultivator to the fullest extent.

Even against Heaven and Earth, he dared to engage directly.

The green sword light made a spin.

The peach blossom was once again held in Lu Qingshan's hand.

His robe fluttered with a crackling sound, as the vigorous Elent Force within him burst forth.

Then, Lu Qingshan's figure fearlessly advanced toward the overwhelming silver thunder.

The heavenly thunder descended like an apocalypse.

Lu Qingshan alone wielded his sword upward, intending to tear through Heaven and Earth.

"Sumr Rain... Fall!" A low murmur from Lu Qingshan echoed through the Heaven and Earth, louder than thunder itself.

The trajectory of the peach blossom left remnants in the air, resembling endless strands of rain.

Sword shadows like rain.

Secret Sword: Sumr Rainfall.

Bang, bang, bang!

Huge collision sounds erupted continuously above the skies, each burst causing the Heaven and Earth to tremble slightly, and the ancient temple shook constantly.

In an instant, while using Sumr Rainfall, Lu Qingshan consecutively slashed seventeen swords.

Then, the thunder shattered.

The massive silver thunder enveloping the entire Heaven and Earth slowly collapsed before Mo Yan's astonished gaze.

The world fell silent.

The roaring thunder finally quieted down.

Silver light shimred around the peach blossom sword.

Under the silver glow, traces of thunder flickered faintly.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the peach blossom and then slightly frowned.

Visible to the naked eye, so speck-like impurities were being expelled from the sword under the silver glow, dissipating.

Hum!

The peach blossom emitted a pleasant hum.

To it, the heavenly thunder was like cupping therapy—painful yet joyous.

"The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is expelling impurities within the peach blossom sword... After being tempered by thunder, it can truly beco a Pseudo Dao Artifact."

A curve slowly ford at the corner of Lu Qingshan's mouth, as he raised his head, looking at the thunder in the clouds rolling again, his furrowed brows finally relaxing.

"So it seems, you are indeed a good thing; I misunderstood you."

"Then bring it on, the more the rrier...."

Shu!

A vast Thunder Force gathered, with a massive silver streak suddenly breaking through the cloud's bind, falling from the sky like a teor!

........

Within a swamp thousands of miles away from the ancient temple.

Several black lotuses swayed gently, with wisps of black mist spilling out from them, quickly dispersing and rging into this Heaven and Earth.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sound of thunder shook the Heaven and Earth, coming from afar, audible even here.

The black lotus suddenly blood.

Several figures appeared within the black lotus, looking up toward the north.

In the sky above there, thick dark clouds gathered, and a blazing thunder light appeared, with terrifying power soaring to the sky.

"What is this?"

Soone instinctively asked.

"Seems like a Heavenly Tribulation?!"

"How could soone be crossing a tribulation here?"

"Wait, it seems like the sacred beast territory over there..."

"What's going on exactly?"

"This matter is strange, I'm afraid sothing is amiss. We should imdiately go there to examine the situation." An insightful judgnt was made in a flash.

The others neither doubted nor hesitated.

Imdiately, around them, nearly ten large mysterious figures suddenly appeared, transforming into light and shooting rapidly toward the area where the heavenly thunder gathered.
