The sound was thunderous.
A massive black cloud loomed over the misty forest.
All the animals raised their heads uneasily, fearing that a storm of lightning would strike and destroy the entire forest.
Bian Lang remained calm. Even if the sky were to fall, he would simply die.
Living too long is getting tiresome.
"Can't we help?" Liu Yi asked, frowning.
Sun Wukong's desire to forge an eighth head attracted terrifying thunderclouds.
Bian Lang said, "The little monkey is tough and thick-skinned, he'll be fine."
Even so, Bian Lang remained cautious and was ready to lend a helping hand at any time.
If Sun Wuse hadn't been about to break through, he would probably be in the Dark Domain right now, discussing how to deal with the crisis with the Headless Clan.
Que Wu's attempt to go to the capital for negotiations will surely end in failure.
The woman who ruled a vast empire for ten thousand years had an arrogance ingrained in her bones, and would never cooperate with the creatures of so-called imprisoned lands.
If they can exterminate someone, they will exterminate them completely.
It is said that the Empress is always victorious in battle. This time, Bian Lang will show that woman that there is no such thing as an invincible general.
Click.
Another clap of thunder sounded, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain emerged from the dark clouds, striking directly at the spot where Sun Wukong was.
Liu Yi watched this unfold, her face turning ashen.
The lightning tribulation that Sun Wukong's breakthrough brought was so terrifyingly powerful that it felt like the lightning tribulation that the Nascent Soul Ancestor had to face when he transcended tribulation to become an immortal was nothing compared to this.
The lightning struck swiftly, and Sun Wukong, who had been staying in the forest, suddenly sprang up and rushed to meet the lightning.
"Has He gone mad?" Liu Yi's eyes widened.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "This is the little monkey I know."
Liu Yi smiled bitterly, recalling that back then, Bian Lang had brought Sun Wu Se to Kao Shan City and even made money by selling Sun Wu Se. Who would have thought that these two were such powerful beings?
Bian Lang stirred up chaos among the various sects in this land.
Those who oppressed the good and those who wanted to kill Bian Lang were all defeated and vanished by Bian Lang.
Just thinking about the capital city a million miles away, where the Empress might be gathering a large army and would soon be at Tongtian River, made Liu Yi feel breathless.
Sun Wukong's seven heads were all raised high, braving the terrifying lightning, and soared into the sky.
All the animals were shocked, never expecting that Sun Wukong would try to push the lightning back into the thundercloud.
As they approached the dark clouds, everyone could clearly see that the eighth head burst forth, bringing with it a golden light that enveloped Sun Wukong, and with a whoosh, it entered the thunderclouds.
The thunderous roar from the clouds was even more eerie, and the lightning flashed faster than the flashing of colored lights, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day.
"Won't you die from doing this kind of reckless behavior?" Liu Yi sighed.
Mo Qiao stood to the side, her hands clenched tightly together, tears glistening in her eyes.
She has been in this state ever since Sun Wuse began her breakthrough.
Bian Lang said, "If they get struck by lightning and die, there's nothing we can do about it."
"How cold-blooded." Liu Yi was speechless.
Bian Lang chuckled and said, "This is a tribulation for you cultivators; it's either life or death."
Liu Yi was speechless. Such were the laws of the cultivation world; they were extremely cruel.
At that very moment, the thunderclouds dispersed, and Sun Wukong descended from the sky.
The warm sunlight once again bathed the entire forest.
When Sun Wukong appeared with eight heads, all the animals cheered, their different cries blending together in a spectacular display.
"Boss, aren't these eight heads impressive?" Sun Wukong shook all eight heads at the same time, very proud of himself.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "With a great battle imminent, your breakthrough is perfectly timed."
Sun Wuse chuckled. What he wanted to do now was stand in front of Que Wuxiang and show off his eight heads. He wondered how Que Wuxiang would react.
If Que Wuxiang hadn't been chasing closely behind, Sun Wuse wouldn't have been able to break through to the eighth head so quickly.
"But now is not the time to celebrate. You need to lead everyone in training." Bian Lang stood up and said.
Sun Wuse nodded in agreement.
Bian Lang and Liu Yi then left the Misty Forest and headed straight for the Dark Domain.
Although the journey was long, at their speed, they reached the edge of the Dark Domain in just a few days.
Looking at that dark and sunless area, Liu Yi couldn't imagine how the headless tribe could survive there.
Even though she could see all sorts of glowing plants and the scenery was absolutely stunning once inside, Liu Yi still felt the air here was very stuffy.
The headless man quickly appeared and blocked their path.
Some of them recognized Bian Lang and were overjoyed. They quickly ordered the others to put away their weapons and greeted him with smiles.
They have eyes on their breasts and mouths on their navels, making them look extremely strange in their appearance. When they laugh, it becomes even more comical.
Liu Yi almost burst out laughing.
Upon closer reflection, headless tribes are truly pitiful.
"That's... Xing Tian's remains?" Liu Yi was shocked when she saw the tall corpse on the mountaintop being struck by lightning.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "I brought it over."
Bian Lang never expected that the headless tribe would use Xing Tian's remains to help them withstand the lightning.
They were soon taken to a stone house, which was very simply furnished.
However, the tea from the Dark Domain is truly excellent. When brewed with spring water carrying electric sparks, the taste is absolutely superb.
Liu Yi usually enjoys drinking tea, but she feels that the tea from the Dark Domain is the most delicious.
Even if I bring the tea back, I can't brew it to taste the same.
After all, that kind of spring water with electric sparks only exists in the Dark Realm.
Good tea needs good water to brew the most fragrant tea in the world.
