"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds, its power astonishing, seemingly capable of destroying everything in the world—truly terrifying!
Having lost all protective barriers, Su Xue could only rely on her own defense to withstand the lightning tribulation. The golden light protecting Su Xue's entire body shone brightly, seemingly unafraid of the power of the lightning tribulation.
The lightning struck Su Xue directly without any delay. After the lightning struck, the terrifying energy spread everywhere. Even Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu, who were watching from a distance, could clearly feel the power of the lightning.
"Whoosh!" The energy generated by the lightning tribulation was like a strong wind, almost making Liu Xiaoyuan lose his balance. If he didn't have supernatural powers to protect him, his physical body would have been injured by the energy emitted by the lightning tribulation.
Even from this distance, it still possesses such terrifying power; I wonder if Su Xue in the center of the arena can withstand it.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but worry about Su Xue. If she failed to advance, she would vanish into thin air and never exist again.
To be honest, even if Su Xue survived the lightning tribulation just now, what about the lightning tribulations to come? Moreover, Su Xue is a fox spirit, and her path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens.
Since Su Xue is a fox spirit, she is even more intolerable to the laws of nature, so the power of the lightning tribulation is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
Whether Su Xue can withstand this tribulation and successfully advance to the Golden Core stage is up to her; Liu Xiaoyuan can't help her in any way.
Liu Xiaoyuan's gaze fell on the center of the arena, where he saw that Su Xue's golden protective barrier had dimmed considerably, but it had withstood the lightning tribulation. It seemed that Su Xue was indeed quite capable.
However, a second lightning bolt struck down immediately afterward, as if it wouldn't stop until Su Xue was reduced to ashes.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was watching Su Xue undergo her tribulation with complete focus, two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed over from a distance.
They happened to be passing through this area when they immediately noticed something unusual in the sky. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that someone was undergoing a tribulation, and judging from the power, it resembled the Golden Core stage, but it seemed to be even greater than the tribulation of the Golden Core stage.
It's not like a Nascent Soul undergoing Tribulation. Although they've never seen the tribulation lightning of a Nascent Soul undergoing Tribulation, it should be more powerful than this tribulation lightning.
Driven by curiosity, the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately rushed over.
Firstly, I wanted to see what was going on, and secondly, I wanted to see if I could take advantage of the chaos.
Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately arrived. When Liu Xiaoyuan noticed the arrival of these two cultivators, he knew something was wrong; they seemed to have ill intentions.
Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators stood at a distance, their eyes fixed on Su Xue, who was undergoing her tribulation. It was impossible to know what they were thinking.
Su Yu glanced at the two men and whispered to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Brother-in-law, tonight might be dangerous!"
Liu Xiaoyuan knew, of course, what danger Su Yu was referring to: the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators standing behind him.
Liu Xiaoyuan was also a little worried about the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. If there was only one, he could handle it, but with two, it would be a bit difficult. He wondered if the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators summoned by the God-level Invincible System could fight two opponents at once and defeat them within ten minutes.
However, since the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were watching the show, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally wouldn't make a move.
If these two were to attack Su Xue, Liu Xiaoyuan would have no choice but to fight back. No matter how skilled they were, Liu Xiaoyuan would not be afraid.
This lightning tribulation directly shattered Su Xue's protective barrier, leaving her without her greatest defense.
If the tribulation were to end just like that, everyone would be overjoyed. However, the tribulation did not seem to be over yet. The dark clouds overhead were rolling in, as if they were about to fall down.
Moreover, thunder rumbled within the dark clouds, as if brewing a terrifying lightning tribulation.
Although the tribulation lightning hasn't struck yet, everyone knows it will eventually come down, and it might be the most dangerous and powerful one yet.
Just then, the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators standing behind her made their move. They flew towards Su Xue, intending to kill her before her tribulation lightning struck down and then seize the magical treasures on her body.
The two of them had a pretty good plan, completely ignoring Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu, who were both late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
"You're asking for it!" Liu Xiaoyuan immediately stepped forward and blocked their path.
"Kid, get out of my way!"
"Kid, mind your own business, or I'll send you to your death!"
The two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were furious when they saw Liu Xiaoyuan blocking their way. They immediately scolded Liu Xiaoyuan and told him to get lost.
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "If you want to hurt my woman, you'll have to get past me first."
Upon hearing this, both late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were stunned. The woman who was undergoing tribulation to advance to the Golden Core stage was actually this kid's woman.
Damn, it's not unusual for ordinary people to have rich girls fall for poor boys, it's all about love.
But in the cultivation world, which follows the law of the jungle, how could a woman who is about to become a Golden Core cultivator possibly fall for a novice in the late Qi Refining stage?
Because once a cultivator advances to the Golden Core stage, whether it's a Qi Refining cultivator or a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they are like ants in his presence.
What is the Golden Elixir Path? It is the broad road that leads to the path of cultivation, while Qi Refining and Foundation Building are merely the winding paths that one must constantly explore forward.
"Stop wasting time talking to him, attack!" said one of the younger-looking late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If they were to argue with Liu Xiaoyuan any longer, the lightning tribulation would strike, and if they went then, they would only be able to get charred black and blue.
Therefore, they decided to deal with Liu Xiaoyuan directly before going on to kill others and steal the treasure.
In their eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, could kill them as easily as crushing an ant, without requiring much effort.
"Brother-in-law, let me help you!" Su Yu rushed to Liu Xiaoyuan's side and stood next to him, her beautiful eyes fixed on the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"You two won't dare to hurt my sister!" Although Su Yu and Su Xue didn't get along before, they were sisters with a deep bond and blood was thicker than water. When her sister was in danger, Su Yu would still stand up for her. That's what family love is.
"Since you two want to die, then fine, we'll send you both to the Western Paradise together!" one of the late Foundation Establishment cultivators said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he launched an attack on Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yu.
