When Tianjizi saw Qin Feng's current state, he was first taken aback, and then he gloated.

"Haha, kid, you've brought this on yourself!"

"Your inner demons have invaded, and you're also facing a tribulation of lightning; you are doomed!"

Qin Feng had not completely lost his mind, and upon hearing this, he looked at Tianjizi.

"Old man, even if I die in the end, I will definitely take you down with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng flashed and rushed towards Tianjizi.

He had to scare Tianjizi away, otherwise even if he eventually survived the tribulation and didn't completely lose his mind, Tianjizi would still be a huge threat to him.

Upon seeing this, Tianjizi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned and fled.

If he were within the range of the lightning tribulation, he would be affected and would inevitably be seriously injured, putting himself in a disadvantageous position.

In his mind, Qin Feng was no different from a dead man, so he naturally wouldn't risk staying.

Qin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched Tianjizi disappear from sight.

Fortunately, this old man was cautious enough; otherwise, if he had fought him, he might have been controlled by his inner demons very quickly.

They either become demons or die a violent death.

While fighting his inner demons, Qin Feng also released his divine sense to monitor Tianjizi's movements.

Only after Tianjizi left his spiritual range did he withdraw his spiritual sense and sit in meditation in mid-air, focusing all his efforts on dealing with his inner demons and the impending tribulation of lightning.

His natal magic weapon, the Crimson Sun Sword, left his hand and flew to a height of about ten meters above him before stopping.

The sword then shone brightly, extending to twenty or thirty meters in length and seven or eight meters in width.

No matter how strong the lightning tribulation was, the Crimson Sun Sword alone was enough to withstand the first few lightning strikes, giving Qin Feng some time to deal with his inner demons.

At this moment, the inner demon and Qin Feng's primordial spirit were engaged in a fierce battle. Qin Feng's primordial spirit was clearly falling behind and gradually becoming dim and lifeless.

Qin Feng's mind began to become somewhat confused, and he almost lost the ability to think.

Just as Qin Feng's primordial spirit was about to be completely defeated and his mind was about to disappear, the Qiankun Jade Pendant suddenly appeared out of thin air, emitting a purple light that enveloped Qin Feng's primordial spirit.

In an instant, Qin Feng's primordial spirit suddenly returned to its peak state, even slightly stronger than before.

In an instant, the inner demons were wiped out!

At the same time, the Qiankun Jade Pendant suddenly rushed into Qin Feng's primordial spirit and merged with it.

An inexplicable, terrifying force assaulted Qin Feng's primordial spirit, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

Even Qin Feng felt excruciating pain and let out a scream.

At the same time, the first bolt of tribulation lightning descended and struck the Crimson Sun Sword.

Although the Crimson Sun Sword withstood the first tribulation lightning, Qin Feng was still affected because his mind was connected to the Crimson Sun Sword.

"puff"

Qin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler, devoid of any color.

At the same time, his aura became extremely violent, as if he had gone mad.

Fortunately, Qin Feng's primordial spirit gradually calmed down, and the terrifying power from before was completely absorbed into his primordial spirit.

Although he is currently only at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm and has not yet passed the tribulation, his primordial spirit has at least reached the strength of the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Qin Feng's breathing gradually calmed down. He opened his eyes, and a strange purple light flashed in them.

He looked puzzled; he never expected that the Qiankun Jade Pendant hadn't disappeared and had been hidden inside his body all along.

Even more unexpectedly, the Qiankun Jade Pendant completely merged with his primordial spirit this time, and his primordial spirit became incredibly powerful as a result.

While a powerful primordial spirit doesn't necessarily mean a surge in combat power, it does grant him an incredibly strong trump card for survival.

Given the current strength of his primordial spirit, it is estimated that even a peak Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to kill him.

Even if his physical body is destroyed, as long as his primordial spirit remains, he can cultivate a physical body to revive.

Even if he fails to transcend the tribulation this time and his physical body is destroyed, his primordial spirit can easily escape.

Qin Feng slowly stood up, sheathed the Crimson Sun Sword into his body, looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, and frowned slightly.

If he hadn't been forced by Tianjizi, he would never have chosen to break through at this time.

But now that things have come to this, he has no other choice.

Just as the second lightning bolt was about to strike, something strange happened.

Qin Feng's primordial spirit suddenly absorbed his spiritual power, and the absorption speed was extremely fast.

In just a few breaths, it absorbed nearly 30% of his spiritual power.

"What happened?"

Qin Feng was completely dumbfounded. His primordial spirit was out of his control and was frantically absorbing his spiritual power.

"Could it be...could it be the Qiankun Jade Pendant that's behind this?"

He took a deep breath and tried to control his primordial spirit, but it had no effect whatsoever.

His primordial spirit seemed to no longer belong to him, and his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

Regardless of whether it was the Qiankun Jade Pendant that caused the trouble, if things continue like this, once the spiritual energy is completely absorbed by the primordial spirit, even if he doesn't die, he will definitely be struck dead by lightning in the end!

But now he can do nothing but watch helplessly as his primordial spirit absorbs his spiritual power.

When the second lightning bolt struck, most of Qin Feng's spiritual power had already been absorbed by his primordial spirit.

Fortunately, he withstood it thanks to his strong physique.

When his spiritual power was about 80% absorbed by his primordial spirit, the primordial spirit finally stopped and ceased absorbing spiritual power.

His cultivation level also dropped directly from the early stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm to the early stage of the Immortal King Realm, a drop of a whole major realm.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Absorbing spiritual energy actually caused him to drop in cultivation level?

And it's an entire major realm?

Could it really be the Qiankun Jade Pendant causing this?

Knowing that he didn't want to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, he stepped in to help him?

But where did all the spiritual energy absorbed by his primordial spirit go? He didn't feel that his primordial spirit had become stronger after absorbing that spiritual energy.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and saw that the tribulation clouds had dissipated and the sky had returned to clear.

He then tried to control his primordial spirit, and finally succeeded.

However, he did not relax at all; the situation just now was too bizarre.

Who knows, he might do it again at some crucial moment in the future.

He examined his primordial spirit carefully several times, but found nothing unusual except that it had become stronger than before.

He simply put it out of his mind, deciding to make the best of it as it was, figuring he'd figure it out sooner or later as long as he was alive.

Moreover, now is not the time for him to ponder these things; he must leave this place quickly to avoid Tianjizi suddenly returning.

He glanced at the towering mountain not far away, and he could still sense that faint, familiar aura.

Hesitating whether to go and investigate?

After a while, Qin Feng decided to go to the 10,000-meter-high mountain to investigate.

What if it's someone I know, and they're in a seriously injured state?

The commotion we just caused must have attracted a lot of magical and poisonous beasts.

If he leaves, that person will most likely perish here.
