"what to do?"
The strange young man asked himself this question.
He was at a loss for what to do.
Logically speaking, a powerful god-emperor like him should have a mind as sharp as a demon, and would rarely experience such hesitation.
But now, when facing Lu Tao, he hesitated.
If they continue to interfere with Lu Tao's tribulation, it will attract even more terrifying chaotic lightning. Given Lu Tao's precise calculations and terrifying methods, that chaotic lightning will most likely become a supplement to Lu Tao's life.
This is tantamount to indirectly helping Lu Tao improve his strength.
However, if we don't continue to intervene and allow Lu Tao to successfully transcend the tribulation and become a God King, given Lu Tao's cultivation speed, he will soon reach the peak of God Kinghood and even comprehend many rules.
By then...
Even if he recovers to his peak condition, his chances of winning against Lu Tao are not high.
He considered himself a genius, but when faced with a prodigy like Lu Tao, who defied conventional wisdom, he lacked confidence.
There are no fools among those who can cultivate to the level of God Emperor.
He was usually very accurate in his assessment of the situation, but this time, he was completely undecided.
final.
After a moment of contemplation, the strange young man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll risk it all. This is only the ninety-first Heavenly Tribulation... I refuse to believe he can hold out indefinitely!"
This moment.
The strange young man's gaze gradually hardened.
"This is the place I'm guarding, and I should be responsible for any consequences. If Lu Tao succeeds in overcoming his tribulation and escapes the desolate region, I will hardly survive. In that case... let's fight to the death!"
Thinking of this, the strange young man's gaze gradually turned cold.
He knew he had no other choice.
"call……"
Having made his decision, the eerie young man took a deep breath and focused most of his attention on suppressing the power of the curse. He had to solve the problem of the curse in order to better deal with Lu Tao.
This is the terrifying power of the God Emperor.
Back then, Turtle Elder was already a half-step God Emperor, and his strength was immense. However, when Lu Tao used the power of curse for the first time, he was almost cursed to death.
Let alone suppressing the power of the curse, it was almost powerless to even resist it.
But the current supernatural youth, except for the first wave of being hit by the cursed power and not being able to react, can not only stay awake, but also concentrate on doing things.
but.
He was also feeling unwell at that moment.
Despite being severely injured, he still had to continue using the power of the rules to trap the Lesser Thousand Worlds, while also being ready to attack Lu Tao at any moment. This was no easy task for him.
"Mother, what do we do next? Are we just going to stand by and watch?"
In the Lesser Thousand Worlds, Lu Ling looked at the terrifying fire rules outside and couldn't help but feel anxious.
The minor world is trapped, and no matter where it tries to escape, it will always be burned by the rules of fire. Furthermore, under the rules of fire, the speed at which the minor world can escape is greatly reduced.
There's no way to escape.
Everyone else also turned their attention to He Yuanshuang.
After the sect leader left, He Yuanshuang became their pillar of support.
Even the six half-step Divine Emperors, including Luo Xian, were now looking at He Yuanshuang.
They didn't know what to do either.
He Yuanshuang said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, just maintain the status quo!"
Lu Tao had told her all sorts of things before she even faced her tribulation, and all she could do was follow his instructions.
"How hateful! His fire rule, under the influence of the power of the world, is several times more terrifying than the fire rule of the God King. Otherwise, how could it have trapped the Lesser Thousand Worlds?"
Nie Ting couldn't help but slam his fist into his left palm, his face full of resentment.
Ye Xuan's voice was somewhat low, "So the power of the world has such an effect. It's laughable that we call ourselves half-step God Emperors, but in reality we are worlds apart from true God Emperors."
"If our realm were to change even slightly... alas!"
Luo Xian sighed silently.
As half-step Divine Emperors, they were actually only undergoing a transformation of their essence, energy, and spirit; they hadn't even fully transformed.
Those who did not fully undergo the Divine Emperor Tribulation could not transform their realms into worlds, and therefore could not use the power of worlds to control the rules.
otherwise.
Their strength will undergo a dramatic change.
Now we will no longer be helpless when faced with attacks from strange young men.
"I continue to control the small world to collide with his fire rules, trying to absorb as much as possible. Once we have absorbed all the fire rules, he will be unable to trap us."
As she spoke, He Yuanshuang's expression calmed down, and she said, "If he continues to use the rules of fire to trap us, it will be a huge drain on him. We have already completed our mission of restraining him!"
"Um!"
The other Immortal Sect disciples nodded silently.
now.
There is no better alternative.
However, the feeling of being left to watch without contributing anything was quite uncomfortable for them.
They wanted to do more for their patriarch, especially in times of crisis like this.
In fact...
Given their level of cultivation, they have done more and better than enough.
While controlling the No. 2 Minor World to collide and absorb the rules of fire, He Yuanshuang looked at the disciples whose auras were unstable and instructed them: "Continue to recover. There will be more opportunities for you to contribute later."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, all the disciples became solemn.
Immediately sit cross-legged, swallow pills to regulate your breathing and recover.
"snort!"
Upon seeing this, the strange young man from the outside world let out a soft snort.
However, he did not want to allow the Lesser Thousand Worlds to escape the encirclement of the power of the rules, thus unleashing the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword on him and causing him even greater depletion.
He continued to use the power of the rules to relentlessly besiege the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
However, it was clear that He Yuanshuang also sensed that his power of rules seemed inexhaustible. After trying to absorb the rules of fire for a while, she changed her strategy.
Instead of colliding with and absorbing the rules of fire, it carried the No. 2 Lesser Thousand Worlds and flew towards the outside of Tianzhou.
"well!"
Upon seeing this, the strange young man felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
When the small world flew away, he was caught in a dilemma.
They could choose to continue besieging the Lesser Thousand Worlds and abandon their target of Lu Tao; or they could choose to continue dealing with Lu Tao and thus abandon the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
original.
He used the rules of fire to surround the minor world, hoping that the disciples of the Immortal Sect would lose patience and open the world passage to attack him.
At that time, he could seize the opportunity to inject the terrifying rules of fire into the Lesser Thousand Worlds, thereby controlling the people Lu Tao cared about.
This was used to threaten Lu Tao.
Unfortunately, the disciples of the Immortal Sect did not give him that opportunity.
Now, seeing the Lesser Thousand World getting further and further away from him... no, to be precise, from the place where Lu Tao was undergoing his tribulation, he could only watch helplessly as the Lesser Thousand World departed.
He could actually unleash his own world and encompass the entire microcosm within it.
Thus, it becomes very difficult to escape the microcosm.
But now he needs to use his own world to resist the power of the curse, otherwise once the world is released, the power of the curse will completely engulf his altar and devour his soul.
Such behavior of sacrificing the general to save the chariot is certainly unacceptable.
"Huh, the fire element has weakened. We have a chance to break free from the constraints of the rules!"
As time passed, the Lesser Thousand Worlds drifted further and further away from the strange young man, and He Yuanshuang also noticed that the rules of fire were gradually weakening.
This also made He Yuanshuang realize the determination of the strange young man towards her husband.
That's how it is.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Even under the influence of the Fire Rule, which was empowered by the power of the world, the Lesser Thousand Worlds still managed to fly out of the Tianzhou region.
At this point, the strange youth's fire rules ceased to spread to the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
It seems they've given up.
The Lesser Thousand Worlds have completely broken free from the confinement of the power of rules.
"Let's do it!"
Seeing this, He Yuanshuang did not waste any time and loudly gave the order.
"kill!"
Luo Xian, Ye Xuan, Nie Ting and the others were already ready. Almost at the same time as He Yuanshuang gave the order, they had already fully activated their energy and spirit to unleash the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword Formation.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, twelve terrifying longswords shot out from the No. 2 Lesser Thousand World, which was hovering at the edge of Tianzhou.
The long sword swept across the sky, as imposing as a giant mountain.
Their silhouettes streaked across the sky, falling like meteors towards the eerie youth.
No matter how the strange young man dodged, the giant sword followed him like a shadow.
The strange young man had no choice but to take out another divine artifact to defend himself.
at the same time.
After unleashing twelve Sun-Slaying Demon-Slaying Swords, Luo Xian, Ye Xuan, Ye Ting, and the others began to focus on recovering themselves, while He Yuanshuang controlled the No. 2 Lesser Thousand World to enter the Tianzhou region.
And it also appears directly.
This provocative act seemed to be a deliberate attempt to force the strange youth to expend his power of rules to surround and trap him.
"This is outrageous!"
The strange young man recalled Lu Tao's provocative actions from earlier, and he was now seething with hatred.
What frustrated him was that he had no choice but to do it.
Just because...
If he were to expend the power of the rules to besiege the Lesser Thousand Worlds, he could at least delay the Immortal Sect disciples from activating the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword, thus reducing the consumption of his Divine Emperor Artifact.
otherwise.
Even with his terrifying wealth, he couldn't hold out for long.
In fact, he knew that the reason why the master of the Lesser Thousand Worlds allowed the Lesser Thousand Worlds to enter the range that he could surround was to take advantage of the recovery gap when the Immortal Sect disciples used the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword to wear him down further.
This is truly an opportunity that is not wasted at all.
It is absolutely despicable.
Left with no other choice, the strange youth blocked the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword while unleashing the rules of fire to encircle the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
They wanted to buy as much time as possible to prevent the Immortal Sect disciples from using the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword to deal with him, even if they had fully recovered.
But he clearly underestimated He Yuanshuang.
Almost as soon as the Immortal Sect disciples had recovered, He Yuanshuang controlled the No. 2 Lesser Thousand World to break free from the encirclement of the rule power, allowing Luo Xian and the others to continue to unleash two more rounds of Sun-Slaying Demon-Slaying Sword attacks.
You could say that.
He Yuanshuang controlled the distance to the extreme.
At this moment, He Yuanshuang also brought the pulling and tugging to its extreme.
"ah……"
Seeing this, the strange young man could only unleash a helpless rage, his frustration beyond measure.
"puff!"
Amidst the turmoil in his mind, the eerie youth was slightly affected by the power of the curse, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
He was immediately alarmed and forced himself to calm down.
Continue to suppress the power of the curse, gradually eroding it away.
that's all.
Under He Yuanshuang's pull, the strange youth's rule power, defensive divine artifacts, defensive divine abilities, and so on were all continuously depleted.
During this time, the strange young man also calmly and steadily intervened in Lu Tao's Heavenly Tribulation.
Whether the heavenly tribulation was about to begin or was in the process of brewing; whether Lu Tao was waiting for the tribulation to descend, enduring its bombardment, or trying to recover, he never stopped intervening.
But every time he intervened, he ultimately benefited Lu Tao.
"Awesome!"
Each time Lu Tao survived a tribulation of lightning, after absorbing the even more terrifying chaotic lightning, he would roar at the strange youth under the heavenly tribulation.
The strange young man's expression grew increasingly grim with each provocation.
But he was not discouraged.
Because he could clearly see that with each arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation, the intensity of the chaotic lightning grew stronger and stronger.
Similarly, Lu Tao's appearance under each heavenly tribulation became more and more miserable.
In his view, Lu Tao was completely confronting death.
The feeling of swords dancing is exhilarating when you win, but he doesn't care how many times Lu Tao can win; he only needs Lu Tao to lose once.
The ninety-fifth, the ninety-sixth, the ninety-seventh...
Each subsequent bolt of chaotic lightning, under the intervention of the strange youth, became stronger than the previous bolt.
When the ninety-eighth bolt of chaotic lightning arrived, its terrifying power made even the strange young man feel a chill run down his spine.
Even a top-grade defensive divine artifact cannot withstand such a tribulation. Can Lu Tao withstand it?
To his dismay, Lu Tao caught it again.
As before, he used his physical body to withstand the chaotic lightning, and then used the Dragon Transformation Pearl to block his flame attacks.
Despite his miserable state after the tribulation, Lu Tao was covered in deep wounds that exposed bone, with even his internal organs ruptured and his skull lifted off the ground.
But Lu Tao still managed to survive this tribulation.
"snort!"
The eerie young man snorted and, with a gloomy expression, unleashed another burst of flames at Lu Tao, giving him no chance to recover.
However, the fire rules within the flames were ineffective against Lu Tao due to the Dragon Pearl's resistance.
Its terrifying power left Lu Tao quite helpless.
Lu Tao could only endure the force of the flames while being torn apart by the chaotic lightning.
In this tearing apart, the torment Lu Tao suffered was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, but Lu Tao didn't care too much about it. He could clearly sense that his physical body was being tempered by the chaotic lightning and was gradually becoming stronger.
As of now.
The tempering of Lu Tao's physical body by just the first seven bolts of chaotic lightning had increased it by three or four times.
This is an improvement upon the foundation of a fully realized Divine Lord.
Moreover, it forms the basis for surviving multiple perfect lightning tribulations.
Lu Tao estimated.
His physical body is probably even stronger than a top-grade divine artifact.
"Not enough, I want more!"
Lu Tao ignored the strange youth's attacks and focused all his energy on using the Dragon Transformation Pearl to defend against them, while he concentrated on absorbing the chaotic lightning.
Time passed.
After absorbing the ninety-eighth chaotic lightning bolt, Lu Tao's physical strength increased even further.
"call!"
Lu Tao let out a long breath, quickly swallowed several pills to recover, and at the same time, he looked at the strange young man and beckoned to him with his finger.
It's as if it's saying, "Come on over here if you dare!"
Damn it!
The strange young man gritted his teeth in hatred.
He longed to enter the area of the Heavenly Tribulation and kill Lu Tao, but he dared not.
Intervening outside the range of the Heavenly Tribulation and taking action within the range of the Heavenly Tribulation are two different things.
The former will only enhance the power of the tribulation for the person undergoing the tribulation, without affecting the one who intervenes; the latter will include the one who intervenes in the tribulation.
If he goes in, then there will be two people undergoing tribulation.
He also needs to undergo a tribulation.
and.
The tribulation he is undergoing is not the tribulation of a god-king, but probably the tribulation of a god-emperor.
What's even more terrifying is that since Lu Tao is undergoing a perfect tribulation, he will also undergo a perfect God Emperor tribulation.
What merit or ability does he possess to withstand such a tribulation of lightning?
If he had the ability to perfectly overcome the tribulation of a God Emperor, why would he need to take Lu Tao, who was merely at the God Lord level, seriously?
The strange young man didn't want to die, and of course, he wouldn't seek death.
Therefore, he was only interfering outside the range of the Heavenly Tribulation.
But now, seeing Lu Tao's provocative actions, he really felt an impulse, an impulse to perish together with Lu Tao.
But reason prevailed and he suppressed that thought.
The pent-up frustration in his heart, which he couldn't vent, made him extremely uncomfortable, to the point that he felt like he was going crazy.
"The ninety-ninth bolt of chaotic lightning is about to strike..."
The strange young man looked at Lu Tao under the heavenly tribulation, his mind racing, lost in thought.
Boom!
After a long period of preparation, the ninety-ninth bolt of chaotic lightning was finally ready to strike.
Just then, the strange young man made a move.
"go!"
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a dense array of flames empowered by the power of the world, while simultaneously taking out various talismans, jade bottles, and other items, which he then launched at Lu Tao.
Those talismans were all rule-based talismans.
It contains both ordinary rules and rules empowered by the power of the world.
The jade bottles were filled with all sorts of gloomy auras.
Just like the aura that Lu Tao used to curse the strange young man.
The world instantly transformed into a dark and terrifying hell, appearing sinister and horrifying.
A bone-chilling cold spread throughout the world.
The moment these things appeared within the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation, which was about to descend, began to brew again.
Boom!
This time, the terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation increased dramatically, causing even Lu Tao to change color.
boom--
Finally, after a few breaths of preparation, the heavenly tribulation descended.
A terrifying bolt of chaotic lightning, like a pillar of heaven, suddenly descended upon Lu Tao's head.
"Come, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Lu Tao looked up, fearlessly facing the chaotic thunder.
With a snap.
Lu Tao was struck by the incredibly powerful chaotic lightning, which knocked him off the ground and slammed him into the depths of the earth, almost tearing him to pieces.
From a distance, they looked like a few ants lying motionless on the ground, their presence barely perceptible.
Terrifying lightning constantly surged across its entire body.
at the same time.
Under the influence of the heavenly tribulation, the flames, various rules, and various auras that had not yet dissipated rushed towards Lu Tao.
"My husband!"
"Dad!"
"metropolitan!"
Countless cries of grief echoed throughout the microcosm, and everyone's face was pale and bloodless, their expressions filled with sorrow.
Is he dead?
The strange young man floated high in the sky, looking down at Lu Tao with delight, feeling both anticipation and nervousness.
But the next moment.
Buzz!
The earthen-yellow bead appeared just in time, breaking the expectation in the young man's heart and making the hearts of the Immortal Sect members, who had been stagnant, start beating again.
"Ah... he's still alive?!"
The strange young man couldn't help but roar to the sky, but he had no time to vent his resentment. He could only frantically unleash various powers from a distance, constantly bombarding the Dragon Transformation Pearl.
Bang bang bang!
The repeated powerful impacts gradually propelled the Dragon Pearl from the depths of the earth into the sky.
Meanwhile, Lu Tao, inside the Dragon Pearl, continued to suffer endless torment as before.
This time, the torture he suffered was far more horrific than before.
But Lu Tao was prepared for this. He was both in pain and pleasure, frantically absorbing the pure power from the chaotic lightning.
In just a few breaths, Lu Tao had reassembled all parts of his body, and then began to restore his broken bones, shattered internal organs, and mangled flesh...
As his body recovered, Lu Tao was reborn from the ashes under the heavenly tribulation.
In a short period of time, he not only fully recovered, but also more than doubled his physical strength.
"Hey, although I experienced unprecedented pain, the rewards were also enormous!"
Lu Tao grinned, looking quite satisfied.
Lu Tao was no stranger to pain, especially the pain he experienced under the Heavenly Tribulation, in which he was no less than anyone of the same level.
After absorbing the chaotic lightning, Lu Tao looked at the strange youth again and chuckled, "You've missed your chance!"
"..."
The strange young man remained silent.
But his hands were already clenched tightly.
He silently watched the heavenly tribulation that continued to brew. Before long, a chaotic realm slowly appeared, just as he had expected.
He had never seen a perfect God-King Tribulation, but he had heard of it.
He knew that the final nine heavenly tribulations would be experienced in the Chaos Realm, so he used every means to intervene in the heavenly tribulation during the 99th chaotic lightning strike.
But the result...
He still failed.
The emergence of the realm means that it will be difficult for him to kill Lu Tao by interfering with the heavenly tribulation.
Because the domain completely covers the entire area of the Heavenly Tribulation, if he wants to continue interfering with the Heavenly Tribulation, he can only attack the domain, and cannot directly attack Lu Tao himself as before.
Of course, even so, he still has a chance to enhance the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
But……
If his attack on the realm is weak, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will be limited, posing little threat to Lu Tao.
However, if his attack on the realm is too powerful, causing significant damage to the realm of the Heavenly Tribulation, even if Lu Tao is severely injured and on the verge of death under the Heavenly Tribulation, it will give Lu Tao a chance to escape.
This is a very contradictory choice.
At this moment, the strange young man hesitated once again.
final.
He glanced at the Sun-Slaying Demon Sword that continued to hurl at him from the Lesser Thousand Worlds, and made a decision in his heart, "It's time to leave. Even if I suffer endless torture, it's better than dying here."
"Lu Tao... I really hope you die under the heavenly tribulation!"
Outside the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, the strange young man took one last look at the Chaos Realm before turning to leave.
But suddenly...
Just then, without a sound, the chaotic realm suddenly expanded outward at an alarming rate, engulfing the strange young man completely...
