Three breaths later, the dark clouds completely gathered, obscuring the surrounding sky, and then a bolt of lightning struck down.
The first bolt of lightning was a deep purple, transforming into a menacing thunder dragon that instantly crashed into the light barrier, causing ripples.
Gu Yifeng's expression remained unchanged, but the onlookers on Mount Zhuque showed surprise, followed by deep worry.
"This, this, this... This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! I only broke through a minor realm, how could it attract such a terrifying heavenly tribulation!"
Chi Xuanshan almost jumped up, unable to believe what he was seeing. Chi Xuanzi, standing beside him, also looked astonished, followed by worry.
Everyone present was well aware that when a cultivator in the Taixu Realm breaks through to a minor realm, the tribulation they encounter at the beginning is nothing more than ordinary blue-white lightning. At most, after three waves of lightning, it will only have a slight purple tinge, just like a process.
After they break through, it's just a formality. Those who are capable of breaking through should let nature take its course. All the difficult tribulations will only appear when they break through to the next major realm.
However, Gu Yifeng's first tribulation lightning was deep purple lightning, which is already of medium level in the sequence of heavenly tribulations. If it is improved further, it will evolve into red, black, and black and white.
The color of Heavenly Punishment is the highest, a chaotic color resulting from the fusion of black and white, appearing gray from a distance.
However, Gu Yifeng seemed to have anticipated this. Sword light shot out from the protective shield and instantly shattered the thunder dragon. The power of the Devouring Heaven Record adhered to the protective shield and instantly absorbed the shattered lightning.
The first wave of tribulation lightning is just the beginning. The first bolt of lightning is usually just an appetizer, used to test the cultivators.
As the first bolt of lightning was absorbed, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be enraged as well, and three more bolts of purple lightning struck down instantly. The lightning transformed into an angry dragon, which opened its mouth and spat out a sea of lightning, which slammed into the light shield.
Faced with such an extremely powerful attack, the light shield shattered after only three breaths.
"Damn it, that's too much!"
Gu Yifeng cursed and charged forward, his three figures facing the three thunder dragons. He unleashed a punch, the Mountain-Crushing Fist, and the power of the Earth Dao silently merged into the punch.
With a single punch, the shattering power distorted the surrounding space, making it seem as if it might collapse. The three purple lightning dragons shattered completely under the punch, turning into pure power that merged into the bodies of the three figures.
The first wave of tribulation passed by so easily.
Gu Yifeng breathed slightly, then threw a bottle of Refining Spirit Pills into his mouth, which transformed into pure spiritual energy that surged into his body.
That punch was indeed quite effective, but because it mobilized the power of the Great Dao, the spiritual energy consumed also increased exponentially.
The second wave of heavenly tribulation gave no chance to catch one's breath. This time, a full six bolts of purple lightning fell, their color even deeper, with a faint red light visible moving within them.
The six bolts of purple lightning transformed into human form and instantly engaged in battle with Gu Yifeng and his avatar. The abilities these lightning figures displayed were exactly the same as his own.
However, compared to the real Raiden, Raiden's moves undoubtedly have many flaws, less than one-tenth of the original.
"Spar no effort, kill!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yifeng directly issued orders to his two avatars. He could not possibly give the Heavenly Dao Mark the opportunity to learn his abilities.
With a shattering palm strike, the power of ice was injected into the lightning humanoid body. Then, the three figures retreated rapidly, their hands constantly changing hand seals, and an array was formed.
In a short while, endless icy rain fell, piercing directly through the lightning figures and causing the icy power within them to shatter—this was the Ice Rain Sacrifice.
The lightning exploded and then reunited, just as it was about to rush forward, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept up, freezing the six bolts of purple lightning in place.
Gu Yifeng had already received the blessing of the Ice Law, briefly withdrawing the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique. The blessing effect of the Ice Child was still present, along with two other top-tier blessing effects.
There is a concept called Absolute Zero, which can freeze any energy or physical entity, including the Heavenly Tribulation.
There is also a gate called the Frozen Gate, which can use spiritual power to summon a gate of ice, dragging those frozen at absolute zero into the ice gate and trapping them in a state of absolute sealing.
The caster can decide to execute these absolutely sealed enemies at will, depending on their mood.
Gu Yifeng did not hesitate at all. He flicked his icy longsword, and the icy chain at the end of the hilt flew out instantly, turning into a dark shadow that directly froze the six bolts of purple lightning.
"broken!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yifeng unleashed the Ice Explosion Technique, instantly turning the six bolts of purple lightning into shattered ice powder.
Pure lightning power surged into his body, replenishing his energy.
The third wave consisted of nine bolts of purple lightning, or more precisely, purple lightning with a hint of red, which transformed into nine human figures and formed a large array to attack Gu Yifeng.
However, under the effect of the Blessing of Frost, these purple lightning bolts were also doomed. Basically, after two rounds of fighting, he would use Absolute Zero to freeze the group of purple lightning bolts, and then blast them apart with Ice Explosion.
Those who are truly agile can directly unleash the Mountain-Suppressing Fist, using the power of the Earth Dao to suppress it, then shatter it with a single punch, turning it into spiritual energy to replenish themselves.
In the fourth wave, three red lightning bolts transformed into thunder dragons. Gu Yifeng unleashed his full power, and three figures appeared simultaneously, unleashing a sixth-grade sealing formation from the Myriad Sects Talismans.
With the addition of Absolute Zero and the Ice Blast spell detonating it, it was dealt with in one fell swoop.
Faced with Gu Yifeng's constant provocations, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation continued to increase. The fifth wave consisted of six deep red lightning bolts, followed by nine crimson lightning bolts, three black lightning bolts, and six black lightning bolts.
Even in the final wave, Gu Yifeng's spiritual power, after being replenished, was less than 40% remaining. A bolt of lightning combining purple, red, and black colors condensed into a humanoid figure.
Upon seeing this figure, Gu Yifeng's pupils contracted. This human form was none other than the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Clan. Both the clothing on his body and the aura he exuded were far superior to the dried corpse of the Evil Phoenix Clan.
Almost instantly, Gu Yifeng felt his scalp tingle. Although this figure's cultivation was also in the mid-stage of the Taixu Realm, he possessed the aura of the Great Dao, which was simply bullying. With the Great Dao imprint of the Phoenix Lord, he could crush a group of mid-stage Taixu Realm cultivators with one hand.
"Damn it! System, your host is about to die!"
Gu Yifeng could no longer hold back and started howling.
"System detection in progress. Information has been synchronized with the Eye of Concealment. Please note, host, there is only one sword. Use the second sword of the Time Sword Technique."
The system voice came out, and it concealed its presence in an instant. Then, endless information appeared in Gu Yifeng's eyes, including the circulation of spiritual energy around him and the prediction of the trajectory of the lightning figure.
