*Rumble... Rumble...*
As soon as the sky rumbled, Zhang Fei's other clones imdiately stopped their activities, especially since all of them would also experience the impact of the breakthrough made by his fourth clone.
Compared to Zhang Fei [4], who remained calm to face his lightning tribulation, the cultivators from the Sky Jade Realm beca even more tense as the pressure from the sky grew stronger. Even with their cultivations reaching the ancestor realm, they still struggled to withstand the pressure, with Di Xiaoyao experiencing the most difficulty. As a result, Di Xiong had to use his aura to protect him.
At the foot of the hill, the three female demons stared at Zhang Fei [4] with anxious feelings. They haven't been demon cultivators for very long, and they have never seen a lightning tribulation before. They could feel the power of the lightning as it continued to strike in the sky, which made them worry about him.
So distance away from them, Feng Jinqiu also looked calm, but her gaze kept shifting between the sky and Zhang Fei [4] as she thought about his chances of passing his lightning tribulation. 'Show what you've got, kid. If you can't get through this, then my princess's opinion of you is too exaggerated.'
Zhang Fei [4] took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let his body float into the air. Additionally, he released his four cores and three souls, shocking Feng Jinqiu upon seeing them for the first ti.
As for the senior cultivators, they had long known that Zhang Fei [4] had four elents, so they were no longer surprised that he had four cores. However, the appearance of his three souls still shocked them, especially since no one had more than one. Di Xiaoyao, who saw all of that, felt even more jealous of him.
Zhang Fei [4] did not forget to summon Lei Que, the thunderbird, out of his beast space. He promptly positioned himself beneath his master, allowing him to sit on his back. 'I will support your body, Master.'
'Yeah! Co to now, my tribulation!'
*Zap... Zap... Zap...*
Unlike when he first broke through to the Earth Realm, the heavens showed him no rcy, and several lightning bolts quickly descended from the sky before striking Zhang Fei [4] at the sa ti.
"Gah!"
*Screee*
Zhang Fei [4] scread in pain as his body shook violently, and their attacks almost knocked him off his contract beast's back; blood even spurted out of his mouth. Lei Que, who was under him, also felt extre pain, especially since his lightning tribulation was still too strong for his current state.
Zhang Fei [4] imdiately stabilized himself, absorbed the lightning, and channeled it throughout his body to strengthen himself, especially his internal organs. He also channeled the lightning to strengthen his four cores and three souls. Regarding his external wounds, he didn't dwell on them too much, as his regenerative healing factor kicked in imdiately, causing all his wounds to heal quickly.
Lei Que imdiately followed his master, and he also absorbed the lightning that struck him just now with great excitent.
The senior cultivators, watching the two of them from a distance, trembled violently at the thought of Zhang Fei [4]'s lightning tribulation striking them, but they were also shocked to see that he and his contract beast could withstand such a powerful combination attack from several lightning strikes. Even though they looked like they were in pain, they still looked calm, and they could feel their cultivation starting to rise.
'The heavens are rcilessly trying to kill him. Lightning usually fell one by one, but they attacked him all at once.' Feng Jinqiu muttered as she gazed up at the sky, still brewing Zhang Fei [4]'s second tribulation.
Unfortunately, Feng Jinqiu did not witness all the lightning tribulations that Zhang Fei [4] faced in the Sin Challenge, and the heavens attacked him all at once because he managed to withstand them.
Half an hour later, Zhang Fei [4]'s second lightning tribulation descended and struck them both at once, causing him to vomit another mouthful of blood. Unlike him, Lei Que wasn't too affected by the attacks just now because he was a thunderbird, but he still experienced the pain. Like before, the two of them imdiately spread the lightning throughout their bodies, strengthening them further.
The sky above the Sky Jade Realm still had not regained its light, and it beca increasingly dark as lightning continued to strike above there, indicating that Zhang Fei [4]'s lightning tribulation still had not ended.
Another half hour passed, and powerful lightning strikes shot down from the sky, electrocuting Zhang Fei [4] and Lei Que for the third ti.
Unlike his first breakthrough, Zhang Fei [4] did not lose consciousness after receiving three powerful attacks from the heavens, thanks to his Lightning Body Technique, which had already reached an interdiate level. Moreover, he had also previously faced so many lightning tribulations in the Sin Challenge, which greatly helped him withstand their attacks.
[Ding]
[Congratulations! The host's cultivation broke through to 2 Star Earth Realm.]
[Congratulations! The host's Lightning Body Technique has been upgraded to an advanced level.]
After the two notifications appeared, the dark sky quickly turned bright. As he smiled with satisfaction, Zhang Fei [4] reinserted his four cores and three souls into his body, and he imdiately swallowed a healing pill to speed up the recovery from his injury.
Zhang Fei [4] imdiately opened his eyes and watched Lei Que. "You made it through two stages in a row, huh?"
"This is thanks to your lightning tribulation, Master. Being a thunderbird, your lightning tribulation greatly benefits , and if your lightning tribulation becos stronger the next ti you break through, I will break through even faster."
"My lightning tribulation will beco stronger every ti I break through, so I will definitely bring you along when I do." Zhang Fei [4] then sent Lei Que back into his beast space, took out a change of clothes, and nonchalantly changed clothes in front of those people.
"You are truly a freak, kid!" Di Xiong was the first to speak. "If I were in your shoes, I'm not sure if I could face three powerful lightning tribulations in a row, and I would be instantly reduced to ashes."
"Haha." Zhang Fei [4] laughed at that. "Senior Xiong, I have encountered lightning tribulations several tis before, and I almost died the first ti I encountered it. Fortunately, I have Elmyra, Liu Qingyu, and Ru Xue to help recover. Moreover, I'm also a body cultivator now, and my master gave a good body technique, or else I would have died long ago."
"Oh?" Di Xiong was surprised to hear that. "Did you et your master in your current realm?"
"No." Zhang Fei [4] shook his head. "I t my master in another realm, and she is one of the best body cultivators in her ho realm, so I am truly fortunate to have t her."
"I see." Di Xiong nodded in understanding. "In that case, I won't bother you anymore, and I'll bring them back."
Di Xiong imdiately led his two clan mbers back to the central region, with the other two following behind him. However, Di Xiaoyao repeatedly glanced at Zhang Fei [4]. Only Feng Jinqiu and the two mbers of the Chang Clan remained in the northern region after Feng Xiaogang left.
Zhang Fei [4] naturally noticed Di Xiaoyao's glance, but he showed no concern and proceeded to speak to the two mbers of the Chang Clan. "Chang Wenjie is staying with in the Nine Stars Realm, so you two don't need to worry about her, and she will be completely safe."
"I don't worry about Wenjie in the slightest." Chang Wuhen replied with a shake of her head. "If she is not safe by your side, then there is no safe place for her in that realm. Are the people in that realm much stronger than this realm?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei [4] imdiately told them about the situation in the Nine Stars Realm. "I can send you two there if you want, but you guys might face pressure when you first arrive."
"What do you think about that, Mother?" Chang Wentian directly asked her mother. "Uncle Zhang and the others are currently in that realm, and our realm is currently calm, so we don't need to worry too much. If we go there, we should be able to break through faster, and we can co back here to protect this realm again in the future."
Chang Wuhen nodded in agreent with her son before answering Zhang Fei [4]. "All right, we want to go to that realm to train, and we will co back here once we are truly strong."
"In that case, you two can go back to your clans first, and you guys can et here again once you're ready to leave." Once they left the northern region, Zhang Fei [4] imdiately asked Feng Jinqiu. "What about my big sister, Senior? Are you satisfied with her?"
"Yes." Feng Jinqiu nodded to him. "Even though your big sister is still far from being compared to you, she is much better than cultivators at her level, and her understanding is also very high. I have already increased her ice elent, and I have also started teaching her every technique of the ice phoenix scripture. However, her path is still too long, and I cannot force her to advance too quickly, as it would be detrintal to her."
Zhang Fei [4] nodded in understanding. "I entrust my big sister to you, Senior. After she understands everything, I will bring her back to the Nine Stars Realm."
"Yeah." After that, Feng Jinqiu imdiately disappeared and returned to the fallen moon cave to monitor Zhang Yue.
Zhang Fei [4] then landed in front of the three female demons, who looked at him in confusion, especially about his relationship with the humans.
"Who are you really, Elion? How did you get along with the humans?" Zilvora was the first to ask.
"To tell you the truth, this realm is the realm targeted by those cultivators, and I beca a cultivator in this realm for the first ti." Zhang Fei [4] then returned to his human form, which shocked them. "As you can see, I am a human, but I am also a demon. As for why I went to the Netherworld Realm, I've already told you the truth: I went there specifically to increase my demon power. Actually, I still have one other identity, but my third identity is your eternal enemy."
"Another identity?"
Zhang Fei [4] nodded and transford into his complete fox form, which had beco so huge after he evolved to six tails. His current form is no less large than a blue whale, with six long tails dancing behind his hips.
When Zilvora, Ilsath, and Orith saw that, their jaws dropped. They were astonished to discover that Zhang Fei [4] had assud the form of a fox beast as his third identity, and his physique was too gigantic.
"Are you shocked to see my third identity?" The three female demons nodded to Zhang Fei [4], who imdiately returned to his human form. "I can't explain to you how I can have three identities, but my three identities allow to establish relationships with all races, be they humans, demons, or natural races."
Orith imdiately ran to Zhang Fei [4]'s side and hugged his right arm. "I don't care whether you are a human, a demon, or a beast! I will continue to stay by your side, and you must continue to satisfy ."
*Slap*
"Perverted Orith!" The succubus duchess responded by sticking out her tongue, and Zhang Fei [4] questioned the other two. "What about you guys?"
"What can I do?" Zilvora asked with a helpless sigh. "You are my man, and I have grown accustod to your presence, so I will stay by your side."
Ilsath nodded in agreent with them. "I will also continue to stay aside."
"That's good." Zhang Fei [4] then led them to train as he waited for the two people from the Chang Clan to return.
.

After he completed his breakthrough, Zhang Fei imdiately led his group mbers to face the second test, which was to survive several beast hordes.
However, Feng Yao had already left Zhang Fei's group because the tower considered her not a mber of their group, so she had to face all the tests alone. Even though her cultivation was suppressed to the quasi-divine realm, the beasts weren't a big deal for her because she was a pure fire phoenix, and her phoenix flas were simply too strong against them.
Due to his heavenly fox bloodline, Zhang Fei's group had no trouble dealing with the beast horde; all he needed to do was suppress them and allow the others to slaughter them.
They all felt a sense of relief after defeating the beast horde five tis, as they still had ample ti to rest before the third test.
All of them imdiately rested in place before Yuan Luo spoke to Zhang Fei. "If only our group had you in the last challenge, we would have passed the first floor long ago."
"You are too confident." Bai Tian'er shook her head at Yuan Luo. "Have you forgotten that we still have to face the natural challenge and the enlightennt challenge? The beast challenge is not that difficult, but the other two challenges are very difficult, and we can't rely on Zhang Fei for either of them."
Yuan Luo's lips twitched, but she did not refute Bai Tian'er. "Back then, I failed the natural challenge because the elent that appeared was different from my elent, and the weather in that place was terrible at that ti, so I decided to give up."
"I'm the sa as you." Ye Zhiqiu said with a heavy sigh. "At that ti, I encountered the fire elent, and due to my weak ice elent, I was unable to pass it."
"I failed the beast challenge." Ying Shanhu spoke with a bitter smile. "I always bragged about my speed, but I t so beasts that were much faster than , and they beat together."
"Xianqin, Xinyue, and I failed the demon heart challenge, so we didn't have the chance to try the natural or beast challenge." Xian Xianqin and Yun Xinyue smiled bitterly after Xian Xianwu said that, but they were also relieved that they had successfully passed the challenge on this occasion.
"I chose the wrong technique in the enlightennt challenge, so I failed to understand it." Xin Chuixue joined in.
"What about you, Senior Sister?" Zhang Fei asked Bai Tian'er.
Instead, Bai Tian'er pointed at Xin Chuixue. "I'm in the sa boat as him; I also failed to understand my chosen technique."
"I see." Zhang Fei then turned to Xian Changyue. "You're the only one among us who has successfully passed all of them, correct?"
"Yes." Xian Changyue then told them. "Actually, I have reached the third floor, but I can't continue because the challenges there are much harder than the first and second floors. However, I can't tell you all about the challenges on the second and third floors, but we will face a few random tests, so all of you can see for yourselves if you make it past the first floor."
Xian Changyue's words caused all of them except Zhang Fei to sigh as they were not sure they could pass the first floor. Even though he is worried about the natural challenge, he is confident that he can pass the first floor.
Zhang Fei then looked at the map to see the movents of Zhou Tong, Xin Hongwu, and Xin Yueliang. He found the Zhou Prince already halfway to their location, so he was sure they would face each other soon. The two demons from the Xin Demon Kingdom were also making their way toward them, but they were still a considerable distance away.
Zhang Fei then whispered to Xian Xianqin. 'Do you want to see Qian Ying, Qin'er?'
