High in the sky, golden light directly confronted the lightning tribulation, while a black aura pressed down from the sky, and demonic energy capable of destroying all things gradually spread outwards.
Seven more bolts of demonic lightning struck in succession.
It started as thick as an arm and quickly spread to a size of over ten feet.
However, after several evolutions, Liu Chen's golden light of merit no longer contained any evil or malevolent elements.
Even the demonic lightning, which symbolizes the will of Heaven, can be confronted head-on.
The ancient jungle where Liu Chen was hiding was also collapsing at a visible speed.
Tall trees, some tens or even hundreds of feet high, were gradually pulverized.
Although the demonic lightning failed to strike below, the aftershocks from its confrontation with the golden light of merit were something that ordinary trees could not withstand.
And the area where Liu Chen is located.
Although it's not far from the town, it's not close to the deep areas inhabited by high-level alien beasts.
However, such a massive phenomenon still attracted the attention of strange beasts.
Low-level beasts lack intelligence; they will attack any creature within their line of sight.
Dozens of third and fourth-tier exotic beasts quickly surrounded them from all directions.
Before these strange beasts could even get close to the edge of the formation, they were torn to shreds by numerous wronged souls.
Regardless of whether the spirits wanted to rebel against Liu Chen or had other ideas.
After being refined by the Emperor's Banner, they lost the right to resist.
They had no choice but to obey Liu Chen's orders unconditionally.
Compared to the uneventful scene below, the battle at high altitude became increasingly intense.
That blurry, human-shaped golden light of merit.
It transformed into a massive ball of light, tens of feet tall, and hurtled wildly toward the lightning tribulation above.
Normal cultivators only passively defend when undergoing tribulation lightning.
Minor lightning tribulations consist of three strikes, while major lightning tribulations consist of nine strikes.
Having withstood several waves of lightning attacks, the rest can be considered over.
It is unclear whether the golden light of merit and the demonic tribulation are in opposition to each other, or whether it is for some other reason.
After resisting several waves of lightning tribulations, the humanoid golden light of merit launched its own offensive.
Defense is impossible; only by perishing together can we barely maintain a semblance of life.
The demonic lightning, as if it had no regard for its own life, relentlessly bombarded the golden light of merit.
However, the merit power of the human-shaped golden light of merit is too immense.
It defied the onslaught of the lightning tribulation and crashed into the interior of the clouds.
Black mist enveloped the golden light, which struggled and collided within.
Two incredibly powerful forces clashed once again after a fierce battle.
The golden light broke free of its cage, and countless golden beams of light burst forth from within the demonic tribulation.
Dozens or even hundreds of golden rays dispelled the demonic energy within the demonic tribulation.
But the price was that the golden light of merit also became weak and feeble.
It eventually turned into a tiny point of light, fell from the sky, and entered Liu Chen's body.
A few breaths after the demonic calamity dissipated.
Countless scarlet eyes then fixed intently on Liu Chen in the forest.
Lions, tigers, jackals, wolves, snakes, monkeys, oxen, and many other strange beasts appeared.
The number of strange beasts that appeared far exceeded Chi Yue and Wang Shaotian's estimates.
The time from the appearance of the demonic calamity to its destruction was less than a minute.
According to their calculations, this should have been done when Liu Chen fully entered the Golden Core stage.
The excessive time consumed attracted so many strange beasts.
Even if they sensed something was wrong, the beasts shouldn't have arrived so quickly in such a short time!
Despite their thoughts, the numerous remnant souls flew out of the formation's range and launched an attack on the alien beasts outside.
Most of the strange beasts that appear here are only at the third or fourth level, and there are very few at the fifth or sixth level.
Outnumbered, they were quickly overwhelmed by the remnant souls.
Liu Chen did not intend to use low-level exotic beasts to refine the Corpse King.
The remnant souls showed no mercy when they attacked.
They had been trapped in the Soul Refining Fire for too long, and finally had a chance to vent their frustrations.
Even if he couldn't attack Liu Chen, he could at least vent his frustration.
However, Chi Yue and Wang Shaojie did not let their guard down; instead, they looked nervously to their right.
On the mountain peak to the right, a majestic lion-shaped demon beast looked down at the group.
The lion beast was only about three zhang in size, and its body exuded an unfathomable aura of power.
Even though Chi Yue and Wang Shaojie had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage, they still felt a strong sense of danger.
"A seventh-tier, early-stage seventh-tier tyrant."
Wang Shaojie gave a wry smile and was the first to break out of the formation, wanting to engage in a prolonged battle with it.
He also knew that he was no match for the tyrannical lion.
Despite the numerous techniques available to ghost cultivators, they can easily defeat those of higher levels when facing superhumans within the same realm.
But in the end, Wang Shaojie was just a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Seventh-tier demonic beasts already possess terrifying physiques capable of overturning rivers and seas and splitting mountains and shattering rocks.
If Wang Shaojie is proficient in magic.
Even if I can't beat them, at least I can survive.
But Wang Shaojie knew nothing; he could only rely on his physical body to withstand attacks or use demonic energy to attack from a distance.
Wang Shaojie was also helpless!
He broke through from an ordinary person to the Foundation Establishment stage in just six days, so he didn't have time to learn magic.
Brother Chen is at a critical stage of his breakthrough. Even if he can't beat them, he has to go up and entangle them.
Chi Yue wanted to help, but Wang Shaojie kept her behind.
"Sister Yue, you have a good eye on Brother Chen."
Anyway, I won't die; at most, I'll just suffer a bit.
Even if the Tyrannical Lion kills him, he can be resurrected from the Human Emperor's Banner and come out to fight the Tyrannical Lion again.
If one life isn't enough, then use ten lives to fight.
But before Wang Shaojie could step forward, he felt himself being lightly patted.
Wang Shaojie turned around and saw Liu Chen with a big smile on his face.
"Brother Chen, have you finished your breakthrough?"
"I broke through long ago."
