boom!

Snap!

After gathering to their full strength, the rolling dark clouds in the sky decisively unleashed a torrent of lightning, each bolt incredibly thick and easily engulfing a person.

Gu Yan's scalp tingled from being struck by lightning, but having learned from the experience, he was clearly less afraid this time.

Although the power of the lightning increased more than tenfold, his strength also increased significantly. The lightning bolts striking him actually created a strong body-tempering effect, causing him to emit a very comfortable sound.

About half an hour later, hundreds of lightning bolts had struck him. Just when he thought it was about to end, a deafening roar came from the sky again.

Gu Yan's expression changed as he suddenly remembered the last time he underwent tribulation. In addition to some small lightning bolts, there were also several exceptionally powerful main lightning bolts that lasted for a very long time.

Compared to the main thunderbolt, the others are like foreplay and flirting...

Sure enough, the next moment a thick bolt of lightning struck him, more than ten times more powerful than before.

Ahhh~

Holy crap.

This bolt of lightning was quite different from the previous ones, lasting for a full ten minutes before gradually weakening and disappearing.

Ancient clothes were reduced to ashes by the lightning tribulation. He floated alone in the air, his aura somewhat disordered. His body was like crystal white jade, without any wounds, and it was emitting arcs of electricity, as if lightning had drilled into his body and had not been expelled.

"Hoo~"

"This lightning tribulation is really going to kill me!"

His face was filled with fear. If it were anyone else at the Forging Platform Realm, it would be a death sentence. Even at the Core Formation Realm, it would probably be a nine-out-of-ten chance of survival.

He frantically pondered what he had done over the past few years. Had he killed too many people?

After much thought, only this one thing is truly awful.

As he pondered, another report descended, a small thunderclap serving as foreplay for him.

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had time to recover. He gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and persevered against the weak and powerless lightning.

...

The palace lords below, seeing this scene, all showed worry on their exquisite and beautiful faces. If they hadn't realized that their king was not injured, but only had disordered breathing, they would have already flown up to block him.

"The lightning tribulation Your Majesty is facing this time is much stronger than the last one. Even a small one of it could seriously injure me."

Xue Qiaoqiao stood in the crowd and said with lingering fear.

The other women also nodded slightly, clearly agreeing.

"Let alone this time, even with the power of the last one, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand many hits."

Sakurai Naoko pondered the time she spent undergoing the Spirit Sea Realm tribulation two years ago, and then, reflecting on her current strength, realized that there was absolutely no chance of success.

The other women's expressions changed upon hearing this; although they were all at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, the difference between them was vast.

The others were probably both shocked and terrified to see that the demon had withstood so many bolts of lightning without dying.

He will live in a nightmare for the rest of his life. As long as this person lives, he will never be able to turn his life around and will only be at the mercy of others who take his woman.

...

This tribulation of lightning was exceptionally powerful and prolonged, lasting a full day before the dark clouds gradually dissipated.

Nine main bolts of lightning, and countless others...

Gu Yan felt his own incredibly solid aura, put on a golden robe, drank a large bottle of spiritual medicine in one gulp, and then slowly landed next to the group of palace masters.

He had just survived the tribulation of lightning. Although it did not cause much damage to his body, the mental torment was hard to heal. Fortunately, he had a bunch of sweethearts who would forget about it in a few days.

"Your Majesty."

Hua Qingyue let out a sweet cry and flew over with her younger sister to support them. Her white hair floated in the air, creating an exceptionally beautiful scene.

The other women all gave a soft hum and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I congratulate you on breaking through to a new realm."

"You have done well during this period. I am very satisfied with these disciples."

Gu Yan stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the area, and nodded with a few words of praise.

"Of course, the sisters accept disciples according to the King's preferences. If a disciple is not within the King's preferences, no matter how talented they are, they will not be accepted."

Hua Xinyao gave a soft hum, one hand supporting her slender waist, which could be grasped with one hand, beneath her pink palace dress.

Then her charming eyes darted around, and after seeing clearly, her bright red lips instantly turned into an "O" shape, scaring her so much that she almost cried.

It transformed into a pink streak of light and fled the area.

The other women were all deeply shocked when they saw it.

The thought that his king had just completed his tribulation and his body had been tempered again, coupled with the fact that he had been in seclusion for three months without eating meat, made him very anxious.

Wow, that's absolutely terrifying!

They felt dizzy and dared not think any further, so they fled the area.

Whoosh whoosh!

In an instant, the spot was empty, and even Youlong Qingyue in Gu Yan's arms struggled slightly, trying to escape.

Seeing this, Gu Yan coughed lightly.

"Waaaah~"

"Your Majesty, you can't just keep focusing on me. Many of my sisters claim they don't get enough of your favor."

Hua Qingyue had tears in her eyes. She was truly terrified. Ever since she put on this outfit, she had been on the verge of death every time. It was too frightening.

Waaaaah~

How could their small bodies withstand that?

Little Mingyue, with tears in her eyes and biting her pink lips, said pitifully, "Your Majesty, you've taken in so many new disciples, and that Gongsun Yuyao, she doesn't even come to report for duty. She doesn't respect Your Majesty at all."

Gu Yan nodded slightly, also thinking of the woman with the strange physique, and gently patted their jade-like backs.

"Alright, alright, you two can go over there too. I'll take a group of disciples back to the Divine Realm first."

Whoosh!

Two beams of white light disappeared beside him, which showed just how terrified he was.

After glancing at it, Gu Yan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Being too powerful is also a problem.

Then, dozens of golden vortexes were created, bringing disciples back to the Divine Realm, and Lan Qingcheng and the eight elders from Yaochi were released.

After giving some instructions, he entered a sedan chair, which was carried by eight ghost soldiers at the Spirit Sea Realm, and flew towards Yaochi.
