Chapter 1570
Chapter 1570 Something’s Wrong With the Tribulation Thunder!
On the way to the Red Wind Region, everyone sat together. Kong Ling’er began to tell them some of her stories.
Gradually, everyone became talkative and chatted freely.
Of course, there were also Zhao Feng, Yun Feiyang, and others who wanted to ask Kong Ling’er some questions about the Southern Mountain Area, as well as some special delicacies, wine, and interesting places.
For the first time, Kong Ling’er felt that she was being valued. Or perhaps everyone was looking at her and talking to her seriously.
For a moment, she felt great.
The grievances she had suffered over the past few days had also disappeared. The key was that Zhang Han and Zi Yan had also talked to her.
But they talked to her as she was Zhang Han’s disciple, which made Kong Ling’er feel a little complicated.
However, this trace of complexity was not as intense as joy.
Ten hours later, they arrived at the Red Wind Region.
The two groups finally gathered together.
“How did you guys do?”
Elder Ma said, “We had a great time. Elder Yue has killed all the enemies at the Tribulation Stage.”
“What a coincidence.” Ning Chen chuckled and said, “Hanyang has also slaughtered all of those we needed to deal with. He single-handedly fought against dozens of people at the Tribulation Stage and killed them in seconds. He’s very powerful.”
“Holy shit. Is Hanyang that powerful?” Elder Ma grinned and said, “What a pity that I didn’t see it.”
“Did you kill the Fire-flaming Taoist Lord and the others in seconds?” Yue Wuwei looked at Zhang Han strangely.
He had underestimated Zhang Han.
“They were too weak.” Zhang Han shook his head.
“That’s not right.”
Yue Wuwei looked grave. He pulled Zhang Han aside and took a step forward. Then, he said via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “What level is your current combat capability at?”
Zhang Han thought about it and answered, “At about the early stage of the third tier.”
Originally, he was almost invincible under the Tribulation Stage. With the addition of the Thunder Body, he could cross two levels, which was so terrifying.
“Is the Thunder Body that powerful?” Yue Wuwei asked, his beard trembling.
“He’s at the third tier of the Tribulation Stage.
“Isn’t that too terrifying?
“He’s about to catch up with me.
“How many years has it been?
“Sixteen years!”
“You’ve cultivated for 16 years and finally returned to the Tribulation Stage. You’re amazing. Zhang Hanyang, I’m really impressed.” Yue Wuwei took a deep breath.
“I’m flattered, Elder Yue,” Zhang Han replied with a smile.
“Well, I can’t lag behind. Today, I’ll break through to the fifth tier of the Tribulation Stage first. If you help me deal with the Thunder Tribulation, I’ll soon be able to reach the sixth tier! It won’t take long. I still have a lot of supreme treasures left,” Yue Wuwei said.
“Sure.”
Elder Yue was absolutely close with Zhang Han. From a personal point of view, he could be regarded as Zhang Han’s elder and friend regardless of age. In terms of business, he was the butler of the Heavenly Land, and Mengmeng was the Heavenly Lord.
They were fated.
Originally, the Thunder Body was only at the second tier of the Tribulation Stage. But after Zi Yan touched it for a few seconds, it advanced by one level.
Zhang Han knew that Zi Yan must have consumed some energy, but he did not intend to try this again in the future.
“But there’s one thing we have to do first,” Zhang Han suddenly said.
“What is it?” Yue Wuwei asked curiously.
“The Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace is undergoing his tribulation recently. Let’s go absorb his Thunder Tribulation,” Zhang Han said bluntly.
“Absorb his Thunder Tribulation? How can that work?” Yue Wuwei said with a serious look, “Won’t you be helping our enemies by doing that? It’s very difficult to survive the Thunder Tribulation. If you make a slight mistake, you may be seriously injured. You may need to recuperate for a few years or even decades.”
“No, no, no. I can completely devour the Thunder Tribulation.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can make him get no feedback from the rules of Great Domain.”
“Then, he will make a breakthrough in vain? And he will even lose some of his cultivation?” Yue Wuwei widened his eyes.
“Holy shit.”
“Will it work?” Yue Wuwei asked.
“Yes.”
“I’m in. When are we going?”
“How about now?”
“Sure.”
Therefore, Yue Wuwei went straight to the group.
“Zhang Han and I have something to do. You can rest here. Is that okay?” Yue Wuwei asked.
“Both of you are leaving?” Liu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “The battle plan hasn’t been released yet. There are indeed a few days left. I wonder how many days you will be out.”
Zhang Han estimated and said, “About eight days.”
“Eight days? Okay.” Liu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, “It will take more than ten days for the enemy to gather their forces. Even if they arrive sooner, we can still stall them for a long time by jumping into the secondary space. There will be no problem.”
“That’s great.”
Yue Wuwei nodded.
Hearing this, Mengmeng ran over quickly and asked, “Dad, where are you going?”
“I’m going out to deal with something.” Zhang Han thought for a moment and told Mengmeng his plan via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
“Wow! Can I go?”
For the sake of safety, Zhang Han shook his head in the end.
“Humph!”
Mengmeng snorted and pouted with dissatisfaction, but it didn’t work.
Zhang Han tried his best to negotiate before the little princess agreed happily.
“Come back early.”
Zi Yan helped Zhang Han tidy his clothes.
“Um, Master, do you need me to lead the way? I know the place.” Kong Ling’er volunteered.
“No, thanks. Only Elder Yue and I will be going this time.” Zhang Han shook his head.
They would be dealing with not only the enemies of the Prime Yang Palace but also the Thunder Tribulation.
If something unexpected happened, it would be terrible.
Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei boarded a spaceship and slowly disappeared into the void.
“We’ll hold a plenary meeting here.”
Liu Qingfeng said, “Ask all the disciples to line up.”
“Yes, sir.”
Hanlong and the others were also quite convinced by Liu Qingfeng’s plan, where there weren’t any mistakes.
The order was issued level by level, and all the Dao Seeking Cultivators in each spaceship left the spaceship.
They gathered into twenty square formations.
“We’ve won this battle!
“We’ve killed more than 800 million enemies and 56 who have passed the Tribulation Stage.
“That includes Supreme Expert Qifeng and the Fire-flaming Taoist Lord at the Tribulation Stage Second Tier.
“This is the milestone for our entry into the Galaxy. It is our first victory in the battle against the Black Dragon Palace and the Prime Yang Palace.
“However-”
Liu Qingfeng said in a serious tone, “What’s the reason for our victory? It’s because of the square formations, but more importantly, it’s because of Elder Yue and Zhang Hanyang. Don’t be happy too early. They took 90% of the credit!
“Why couldn’t we win by our armies?
“Why didn’t you use your strength? You could only launch two rounds of attacks and then chase down the panicked enemies.
“Why is it that they did all the work, and you didn’t kill the enemies in person?
“Why? It’s that your foundation is not strong enough. If you were strong enough, we wouldn’t even need Zhang Han and Elder Yue to take action.”
At this time, everyone suddenly turned gloomy from happy.
Liu Qingfeng did not make the atmosphere too depressing.
He smiled and said, “However, the scale of this war is enormous. We got the first victory because we caught them off guard. They didn’t know how powerful we were.
“Next, there will be real battles, head-on army battles, and one-on-one fights. Of course, many of the 200 million elites here will die. Tell me, are you afraid?”
“No!”
“If you’re not afraid, cheer up.” Yue Wuwei clapped his hands and said, “The difficult battle is yet to come, and the situation is still not optimistic. We got the first victory because the enemies got some false news. I hope that the armies can play a role in the second victory. Don’t let me down. Don’t let Zhang Hanyang, who taught you the battle methods, down. Don’t disappoint anyone here. Make great use of the battle methods.
“So, practice with all your might.
“High-position officials of the armies, come to me for a meeting!”
Liu Qingfeng summoned Hanlong and other high-position officials.
“Let’s discuss the next battle plan.” Liu Qingfeng said, “Kong Ling’er, tell us the news about the two sects.”
“Okay.”
Kong Ling’er agreed reluctantly.
If it were in the past, she would not agree to do as she was asked.
In the beginning, in order to get close to Zhang Hanyang, she had put up with it. But now, since she had become his nominal disciple, she did not have to put up with the others anymore.
But she still took the overall situation into consideration and said, “Black Dragon Palace lost the power of the five districts, Prime Yang Palace lost the power of the three districts, and both sides still have more than 300 Tribulation Stage experts in total. Although most of them are at the Tribulation Stage First Tier, they should not be underestimated. If these Tribulation Stage experts are given a chance to attack our armies, they can crush one army in about ten seconds. Don’t look down on the two sects. Now…”
She told everyone the basic information in detail.
Kong Ling’er had been in the Southern Mountain Area for a long time, but she knew little about the secrets of the two sects.
“No one knows where the Sect Masters of the two sects are. If they show up, they will be difficult to deal with.”
“Good.” Liu Qingfeng clapped his hands and said, “We now all know the general situation. According to the Star Map, how the two sects divide their people is also basic news. We don’t have any spies, so we are almost blind now. Therefore, I don’t recommend that we split up. We need to gather and attack the Black Dragon Palace together. I heard that the divine bow army didn’t take action. That’s good. Our armies can still attack the enemy fiercely. Therefore, we have to give the other party time to gather their troops, but we can’t give them too much time. In 12 days, we will attack the Black Dragon Palace. If there are no accidents, they will gather the forces from eight districts, including the Lima District. There will be 100 million elites. After dealing with them, we will be close to the final victory.”
Liu Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “After this meeting, let’s go back and have a rest. We will wait for Elder Yue and Zhang Han to come back.”
Hanlong and the others were stunned.
Their faces were full of confusion.
“Aren’t we supposed to discuss the battle plan?
“We haven’t said anything yet.
“Is this the style of Liu Qingfeng when he attends meetings? He doesn’t give others any chance to speak, does he?”
Everyone was a little confused and dispersed.
After carefully thinking about it, they found that they seemed to have no questions or other plans in mind.
They were recuperating in the Red Wind Region.
It was a place where one could attack and defend.
The enemy forces did not gather so quickly, and the news was even reported to the higher-ups level by level.
Two days later.
On Prime Yang Star, in the main hall of the headquarters of the Prime Yang Palace.
“Sect Master.”
The three elders stood in front of the Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace.
“What a bunch of idiots!
“You even lost to a single person from the ancient martial arts world. You made me lose the power of three districts!
“What a bunch of trash!”
The Sect Master was furious and frightened.
“The Black Dragon Palace has been defeated even more badly. Are you sure those two people are both at the third tier of the Tribulation Stage?”
“Yes. An old man killed Supreme Expert Qifeng in an instant. He must be at the third tier of the Tribulation Stage. The other one killed the Fire-flaming Taoist Lord, but he is relatively weak among those in the second tier. Zhang Hanyang is suspected to be at the Peak Stage of the second tier. I don’t think he can defeat you, Sect Master,” an elder said.
“One is at the third tier of the Tribulation Stage, while the other is suspected to be at the third tier or at least at the top of the second tier.” The Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace took a deep breath and asked, “Why are we messing with such figures?”
“Sect Master, there’s no turning back now. We can only try to deal with this.” The elder said, “It will be a great blow to the dignity of our Prime Yang Palace if we have to lower ourselves after losing the power of the three districts. Moreover, it’s said that the Black Dragon Palace has already sent someone to contact the Fire Wing Dynasty.”
“Anyway, there’s no way to change what has happened. Send our men to gather the forces of the sect and prepare for the war. I’m going to make a breakthrough today after preparing for three hundred years. When I undergo my tribulation, I’ll lead the army to kill the enemy personally. We will get our dignity back by killing all our enemies!”
The voice of the Sect Master of Prime Yang Palace was filled with killing intent.
“Yes, Sect Master!”
Several elders bowed and left.
The Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace stood there and looked at the large number of buildings in front of him.
“This is my territory. The legend of the Prime Yang Palace has just begun.”
“When I reach the third tier of the Tribulation Stage and kill hundreds of millions of enemies, I will march into the Galaxy. My future will be in the Center Galaxy.”
He sneered and said, “Zhang Hanyang… after the breakthrough, I’ll kill you first to show my power with your blood.
“That old man has been at the third tier of the Tribulation Stage for many years. He will still be a strong opponent even after I make my breakthrough. Zhang Hanyang is different. He’s likely to be at the peak of the second tier of the Tribulation Stage, and I can deal with him. At least, we’ll be evenly matched.”
However, he didn’t feel that in the distance, in a cloud, two figures were staring at him.
“Elder Yue, I can’t believe you have such a Profound-grade treasure. Why didn’t you take it out earlier?” Zhang Han said with some emotion.
“Why would I take it out?” Yue Wuwei said warily, “You can’t keep thinking about my One Cloud. I risked my life to get it. After refining it for 500 years, I’ve finally got familiar with using it.”
“I don’t want it. I just want to check it out.”
Zhang Han shook his head.
One Cloud was named by Yue Wuwei. It was a very ordinary name, but its function was very powerful. It could be used to cast the Five Elements Shield Technique and could also hide in the void so that the enemy would not be able to detect it. It was a great weapon for escaping and hiding.
If Yue Wuwei weren’t forced, he wouldn’t take out the treasures he had.
“He’s about to undergo his tribulation.
“He’s preparing.
“He’s got a lot of treasures.”
Yue Wuwei stroked his beard and leisurely looked down at the Sect Master of Prime Yang Palace, who was about to undergo his tribulation.
At this time, he was standing on a stone platform, looking at the sky, where there was the hidden One Cloud.
“Today is a good day.”
He looked at the sky and made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest. “May the heavens bless me with my tribulation!
“Formation condensing!
“Spirit Refining!
“Wind Rising!
“Cloud Gathering!
“Tribulation!”
The Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace had a strong aura. It was obvious that he had been suppressing his aura for more than a hundred years at the peak of the second tier of the Tribulation Stage, waiting for the time to undergo his tribulation.
He used several sets of formations and several seventh-tier and one eighth-tier defensive spirit treasures right away.
In the end, he used the method of attracting thunder to completely release his aura, affecting the Great Domain of heaven and earth.
Sizzle!
It was as though the void was filled with electric currents.
A layer of faint black mist suddenly appeared.
The Great Domain descended.
The black mist condensed and quickly turned into a tribulation cloud. Next, there was more. In the end, the tribulation clouds filled the sky within a radius of ten miles.
Zhang Han commented flatly, “He dares to undergo his tribulation in his territory. That’s impressive.”
The place within a radius of 500 kilometers, including the inner hall, belonged to the Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace, and there were very few people around. He just wanted to undergo his tribulation, so it didn’t matter if any damage was caused.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Tiny electric currents began to flicker.
The pressure of the Great Domain made the face of the Sect Master of Prime Yang Palace change slightly.
“The tribulation thunder is really powerful. Fortunately, I’ve prepared well. This time, I’ll definitely succeed in undergoing the tribulation!”
His eyes gradually became firm, and he roared again, “Tribulation!”
His whole body seemed to tremble.
Invisible ripples were spreading.
The tribulation clouds were affected. The tribulation clouds within a radius of ten miles began to surge, and the pressure became stronger and stronger.
It was no exaggeration to say that if a Dao Seeking Cultivator in the Integration Realm was in front of the tribulation clouds, he would be crushed to death by the pressure.
“Tribulation!”
The Sect Master of Prime Yang Palace roared again.
His third roar was filled with incredible energy.
Bang!
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared from the tribulation clouds, intending to strike down.
“Lightning!”
Zhang Han was hiding in the One Cloud. His eyes were bright, and there was a Thunderbolt Mark on his forehead. The power of his Thunder Body had begun to show.
Just as the Thunder Tribulation was about to descend and aimed at the Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace, it suddenly made a turn.
Clack!
The lightning illuminated the world, flashed in the clouds, and was completely absorbed by Zhang Han.
“Nice.”
Zhang Han exhaled softly.
“I’m impressed!” Yue Wuwei said with the corners of his mouth trembling. He didn’t feel great about feeling the tribulation thunder at such a close distance.
But he didn’t dare to leave. He was worried that the One Cloud might be gone once he left.
Bang!
The second round of tribulation thunder was formed faster. It hacked at the Sect Master of the Prime Yang Palace, went for 10 meters, made a turn, and was swallowed by Zhang Han again.
Bang!
The third bolt of tribulation lightning was formed even faster. It was eager to land on that Sect Master. However, it was simply unable to escape the absorption and was devoured by the Thunder Body.
It went the same with the fourth, the fifth, and the following bolts of tribulation lightning.
The Sect Master of Prime Yang Palace was dumbfounded below.
“Why is the tribulation thunder so slow?
“That shouldn’t be the case. The first bolt of tribulation thunder should have come at me. There are already more than a dozen bolts of tribulation thunder. Logically speaking, the tribulation would’ve passed by now. Why is the lightning only flickering in the clouds? Is it trying to deter me?
“Heh.”
The Sect Master suddenly shouted angrily, “Tribulation thunder, don’t you think that I’m afraid of you?
“I’ve been preparing for hundreds of years. I’m not afraid!”
Rumble!
The tribulation thunder continued to form, but still, it was gone after making a turn.
Soon, Zhang Han swallowed all the 18 tribulation thunderbolts.
“It feels really nice.”
Zhang Han felt truly cozy.
For a moment, he felt great.
Rumble!
Unexpectedly, the tribulation thunder was generated once more, twice as big as before. Now, its target was no longer the Sect Master, but Zhang Han.
The tribulation thunder seemed to be saying, “Fuck you, little bastard. You stole the thunder. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
It seemed to be the will of the Great Domain, which was enraged.
Bang!
Ten bolts of tribulation lightning appeared in an instant and were devoured by the clouds.
The Sect Master below was dumbfounded.
“Could it be…”
His eyes lit up with joy. “Could it be that I get to summon special tribulation lightning from the third tier of the Tribulation Stage? Is my aptitude really that amazing?”
In just five seconds, the tribulation thunder flashed a lot.
“I’m half full.”
Zhang Han exhaled.
“Only half full? Keep devouring. The tribulation clouds seem to be targeting you,” Yue Wuwei said in a low voice. “Don’t expose my aura. I suspect that the tribulation clouds may have some consciousness. You stole the thunder, so they must be unhappy and may strike me to death.”
“Don’t worry.
“The tribulation lightning isn’t that terrifying.”
Zhang Han laughed and continued to devour the tribulation thunder.
Finally, the tribulation clouds got furious.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The pitch-black tribulation clouds continued to surge.
“It’s that damned thunder thief again.
“Does he really think he can steal so easily?
“It’s so despicable!”
Clatter!
They completely disregarded their host.
The pitch-black tribulation clouds suddenly spread to a hundred miles long in a mighty manner.
“Why do I feel that something is wrong?” Zhang Han gasped.
“Why don’t we retreat?” Yue Wuwei also felt his scalp go numb.
When he was at the fourth tier of the Tribulation Stage, the tribulation clouds only covered an area of more than 50 miles. Now the tribulation clouds were a hundred miles wide. That was amazing.
“I’ll try swallowing one more bolt. These tribulation clouds would only appear when one advances from the fifth tier to the sixth tier of the Tribulation Stage.” Zhang Han looked grave.
Clack!
The tribulation thunder appeared and struck directly at Zhang Han.
The Thunder Body exerted its power and absorbed a bolt of tribulation lightning.
“Oh no, retreat now. I’m stuffed.”
Zhang Han slightly changed his face.
“The Thunder Body has just been initially formed, so I can’t eat too much. The tribulation thunder that breaks through the sixth tier from the fifth tier of the Tribulation Stage can’t be underestimated.”
Swoosh!
The One Cloud quickly left the central area.
The tribulation clouds seemed to be unable to sense the aura of the thunder thief.
They were angry that so many thunderbolts had been stolen inexplicably.
Hence, the tribulation clouds targeted their host once more.
When the Sect Master of Prime Yang Palace saw the tribulation thunder, which was hundreds of meters in diameter and of unknown length, falling down with a loud bang, his eyes gradually widened.
His smile of joy gradually disappeared.
“I, no, this can’t be!”
