Chapter 234: Advancement and Return to Void

The returning void thunder tribulation is the sixty-ninth tribulation.

Under normal circumstances, the power of each strike is stronger than the previous one, and the power doubles every time nine strikes are made.

However, Su Qingwu's tribulation this time was a little different.

The first purple thunderbolt was as thick as a bowl and carried with it a powerful pressure. The moment it struck, it directly destroyed the triple formation.

Only the last killing line remains, and it is in danger.

However, the second thunderbolt that struck immediately afterwards was significantly less powerful than the first one.

A moment later, the third purple lightning struck, which was less powerful than the previous two and was easily blocked by the attack from the sixth-level killing formation.

The cultivators who were watching the tribulation from afar were all shocked when they saw this.

"What's going on? How can the power of the thunderbolt gradually weaken?"

"Amitābha, this is indeed strange. I have never seen such an example before."

“Is this the Return to Void Thunder Tribulation?”

"There is no doubt about this. The power of the first thunderbolt is extremely strong. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no less powerful than the last thunderbolt that the predecessors of the poor path who had ascended to the realm of the void had experienced in the past."

"I wonder if there has ever been a case of thunder calamity gradually weakening throughout history?"

"Keep watching. Nothing is certain until the end."

......

Inside the cave, Su Qingwu felt the power of the thunder that struck one after another, and was also filled with surprise.

Judging from the previous experiences of conception and transformation into a god, the thunder tribulation of this advancement and return to the void should be unprecedentedly powerful.

When the first bolt of lightning struck, she was even prepared to suffer subsequent injuries.

Unexpectedly, the facts were beyond her expectations.

At this moment, the clicking sounds coming to my ears continued.

The fourth purple lightning locked onto her and struck down with a loud bang.

In terms of power, it is weaker than the previous three.

A moment later, several white rays lit up on the sixth-level killing array, and immediately faced the thunder that was striking down.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the purple thunder was annihilated in an instant.

The white light weakened slightly and struck the roiling calamity clouds before dissipating silently.

Not long after, the fifth thunderbolt struck with a crackling sound.

Same rules as before, but a little weaker...

......

About two hundred breaths later, the tenth thunderbolt locked onto Su Qingwu and struck down with a loud bang.

This time, there were unusual changes.

The color of the thunder changes from purple to black.

In terms of power, black lightning is the strongest among the five colors of lightning.

As soon as it appeared, it brought with it a strong aura of destruction.

The attack launched by the killing array came head-on, and the moment it hit the thunderbolt, it only lasted for a moment before being annihilated without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard.

The black thunderbolt struck the killing formation, which shook violently several times and then shattered with a bang.

At the same time, gravel on the top of the cave was scattered everywhere.

Several restrictions were broken at the same time.

Su Qingwu, who was well prepared, immediately drew his sword and fought back.

Nine murderous sword intentions were instantly released, and a terrifying aura instantly spread out in all directions with them as the center.

The monks who were watching the tribulation from afar witnessed this scene and subconsciously stepped back a distance.

"Such a terrifying murderous intent. Could it be that this senior who has transcended the tribulation is practicing the way of killing?"

"Right, judging from this point, he must be a Taoist without a doubt!"

"Look, the cave has been shattered by the thunderbolt, but I have never seen a person who has undergone the thunderbolt before. Does any of you Taoist friends recognize him?"

"His face is indeed unfamiliar, and his age is hard to tell. Could he be from a reclusive family?"

"It's unlikely. If he is really from a hidden family, why would he choose to survive in a place like this?"

"Could it be from the other four continents?"

"This place is not too far from Vana City. If they came from other continents, it is very likely."

"I don't know if this senior has any power behind him. If not, after he successfully overcomes the tribulation, I'm sure some sect or family will come to recruit him."

"With such strength, if we recruit them, they will surely be given a guest elder seat. In the entire Lingyuan Continent, there are no more than sixty forces that can support the Return to Void Realm."

"At this level, every move you make will attract attention. Regardless of whether those forces have such intentions or not, once the news spreads, they will definitely find ways to find out the identity of this senior."

......

While the cultivators were discussing, nine killing swords clashed with the black thunder, and the latter was annihilated first.

The remaining sword intent was used to cut through the calamity clouds that were rolling in the sky.

The extremely rich ink color gradually dissipated a little.

A moment later, accompanied by another crackling sound, the eleventh black thunder struck down.

The power is much weaker than the tenth one.

Su Qingwu still held the sword and fought, the killing sword intent was instantly released, facing the thunder.

After a while, the familiar rumbling sound was heard again.

The thunder of disaster slowly died down, and the sword's force continued to move upwards, cutting through the thick disaster clouds and further weakening their power.

After that, the power of the twelfth to eighteenth thunders became weaker and weaker.

The cultivators who were watching the tribulation from afar were amazed.

Until the nineteenth thunderbolt, its power increased slightly, and then began to weaken slowly starting from the twentieth.

At this point, some patterns have been summarized.

Every nine thunderbolts, they gradually decrease in power. When a new level begins, the power will increase slightly, and then gradually decrease in power again.

......

After one stick of incense, a total of fifty-four thunderbolts struck down.

Because Su Qingwu kept using the killing sword intent and fighting with swords, in the end, most of the calamity clouds had been split apart by her, and the power of the calamity thunder naturally decreased greatly.

The moment the thunder tribulation is over, the inner demon tribulation begins.

At this moment, she fell into the illusion woven by her inner demons.

Although my memory is fuzzy due to this effect, I still feel a sense of déjà vu about what I see and hear in this fantasy world.

In the illusion, the inner demon gave Su Qingwu a new identity, but the core remained the same.

After joining a sect, one is labeled as a member of a certain faction due to one's identity and is suppressed by the hostile faction.

Then she was framed. The elders in the sect did not trust her and coveted the treasure, so they locked her in an ice prison and abolished her cultivation.

Up to this point, all of this experience is highly similar to what I encountered during the mind-boggling test in the Crystal Palace.

The difference is that in the Lixin illusion, Su Qingwu had the help of Hongyu given by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao in the Yuehua Realm. With the help of this power, he got rid of the current predicament.

Then, in the long process of being hunted down, he gradually improved his strength and embarked on the road of revenge.

But the inner demon illusion is not like this.

When she was in desperate situation, a voice appeared in her heart and taught her a secret skill.

The voice kept repeating itself, saying that as long as one could learn the secret technique and perform it successfully, all enemies could be destroyed.

Not only that, the practitioner can also be reborn.

For people in desperate situations, this secret technique is naturally very tempting.

But Su Qingwu was not fooled.

Whether it was a sense of déjà vu or a gut feeling in her heart, it told her that she couldn't trust this voice.

Seeing that she remained indifferent, the inner demon gradually became angry and started to curse her in various ways.

After two full days, seeing that the plan could not succeed, the inner demon simply gave up and revealed himself, no longer hiding his identity.

It was also at this time that Su Qingwu's originally vague memory was completely restored...
