Throughout history, there have been those who, facing imminent calamity and fearing death, chose to commit suicide.
Although it reflects a lack of firm resolve in one's faith, it also demonstrates that the other party is "clever."
Boom!
Bolts of lightning struck down.
Amidst the interplay of lightning and fire, Li Ming's blood and qi hummed, and despite being at the epicenter of the lightning strike, his aura remained remarkably stable.
"This lightning isn't powerful enough. It doesn't even feel as good as Nangong Shen's Purple Heaven Divine Lightning."
Li Ming murmured.
He felt that the heavenly tribulation was not powerful enough.
At the same time, rays of golden light emanated from his heart, growing ever brighter.
This pure light revealed Li Ming's figure, his body as clear as crystal, like the most perfect work of art in the world, a masterpiece of nature.
The golden light was dazzling, like a great sun hanging over a mountain, instantly breaking through the haze and illuminating half the sky.
In an instant, the entire mountaintop was alternately illuminated by light and darkness, leaving countless people in shock.
This dark calamity seemed to have been shattered in half.
The sky was a mix of black and white, visible from thousands of miles away, like a scene from a traditional Chinese novel.
"This tribulation lightning is vast and its divine power is unparalleled. It is quite different from the lightning-based divine abilities used by martial artists. It is more in line with the Great Dao. However, this seems to be just an appetizer?"
Li Ming sat cross-legged atop the mountain, his eyes piercing the void with divine light.
Thick, dark clouds obscured everything, concealing the truth and the falsehood, but they could not block his chaotic heavenly eye.
Although he survived the previous tribulation safely, he did not let his guard down.
Because he knew that the tribulation lightning would only become more ferocious.
However, it was also a stroke of luck for him.
He possesses a chaotic constitution, capable of comprehending the three thousand Great Daos. He had previously grasped the Dao of Yin and Yang's mutual generation, and under the influence of his past life's memories, he also gained some understanding of the so-called Taiji and Wuji.
After all, in previous lives, through the efforts of many sages, these theories had already been developed into a relatively complete system.
but.
Unlike his previous life, this Yin-Yang Tai Chi Dao truly exists, but it is ultimately too profound. Even the Great Emperor probably hasn't fully mastered it. Without an opportunity, he has no way to advance further.
Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the fundamental force that commands all things.
This calamity is an opportunity.
"Have we made it through?"
"Unexpectedly, this tribulation of lightning is exactly as the saying goes: lots of thunder, little rain."
Someone muttered.
However, some were also surprised by the strength of the person undergoing the tribulation, as if they had suppressed the lightning tribulation with their own power.
Those with discerning eyes immediately laughed and said, "Hehe, you all underestimate this Heavenly Tribulation. It's obvious that this Heavenly Tribulation is brewing something big!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked and it seemed to confirm what he had said, as the previously dispersed dark clouds instantly became even larger.
The surging sea of lightning became even more violent.
Several figures appeared, their presence incredibly majestic, a hundred times more terrifying than the previous lightning!
Amidst the thunderous roar, the voice of the Great Dao resounded.
"Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Palace, Supreme Jade Purity King."
"Transforming into forms that fill the ten directions, discussing the Dao and seated upon nine phoenixes..."
Boom!
The raging lightning surged like waves, one after another.
The true words and precious pronouncements manifest the divine power!
Among the figures, the one at the very front was incredibly tall, and his aura was the most terrifying.
Li Ming looked up and saw the other person's figure reflected in his eyes.
He was tall and imposing, with a crown of blazing flames that radiated red light. Above his forehead was a heavenly eye that could see through the cause and effect of the world, distinguish between good and evil, and judge loyalty and treachery.
Beneath him sat a black Qilin, amidst swirling purple mist, flashing lightning, and swirling clouds.
Holding a golden ruyi scepter in his left hand and a demon-quelling whip in his right, he chanted a sacred scripture:
"With a pure and tranquil mind, one can realize great aspirations."
"With the power of wisdom, subdue all demons..."
Li Ming raised his eyebrows, feeling immense pressure even with his physical body, which was enough to make him stand out among his peers.
Based on the legend, he clearly recognized the identity of the divine figure standing in the sea of thunder.
He commands the Five Thunders, manifests in the ten directions, governs the Three Realms, is the father of all beings, and the master of all spirits.
Great Sage, Great Compassion, Supreme Emperor, Supreme Way.
The Heavenly Venerable Who Responds to the Origin of Thunder and Spreads Universal Transformation.
This is a remarkable person.
Among the many gods in the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens is the highest god of the Thunder Department. He is in charge of the Thunder Department, and has established the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace. Under his seat are thirty-six Thunder Gods of Heaven, Earth and Man.
It holds the power over fortune and misfortune, life and death, prosperity and decline, good and evil, rewards and punishments, the control of clouds and rain, and countless thunderbolts.
Its teachings illuminate the path of Heaven, relieving the suffering of all beings in the netherworld.
With his supreme divine power, the Five Directions Thunder Technique, he intimidated all the heavens and slew countless demons.
"This is a tremendous opportunity!"
Li Ming's eyes lit up; with his comprehension, how could he not realize the profound mystery of this Thunder Ancestor's Precious Edict?
But before he could think about it further...
Boom!
The sea of thunder surged and churned, like a vast, boundless wave.
At this moment, Li Ming also felt the increasingly intense power of the thunder, and the extremely blazing lightning made his body feel cold.
The appearance of this powerful phantom made him feel unprecedented pressure.
Although the Heavenly Court was destroyed, it was still a being who controlled the Thunder Dao and was recognized by the Great Dao. It had long been engraved in the Great Dao.
Therefore, there are still rumors that the Heavenly Emperor will be resurrected and lead all the gods back.
Such power made everyone wonder how the figure standing atop the mountain would survive this unprecedented calamity between heaven and man!
The manifestation of Lei Zu's phantom was such a terrifying phenomenon that it was truly unheard of.
“Thunder Ancestor… This is the Thunder Ancestor! It is said that when a genius was undergoing tribulation, the appearance of the Thunder Emperor and the Thunder God was already remarkable, but I did not expect that even the Thunder Ancestor would come this time.”
Although they were far apart, they could still feel that immense power.
This kind of weather can only be described as the overwhelming power of Heaven, making people feel that they are "doomed."
"Is this kid being cursed by the heavens?"
Dugu Yijian was puzzled. As a martial artist who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, he knew all too well.
The heavens and earth sent down a tribulation of lightning, not to kill them, but to temper them.
Just like if you want a promotion and a raise, you have to achieve results; if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight.
Therefore, this tribulation is a trial for martial artists to gain the recognition of heaven and earth.
But for Li Ming, it seemed as if Heaven itself had ordained him to die.
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down, as thick as a mountain peak, seemingly shattering the mountain itself.
If Li Ming hadn't cultivated numerous body-refining divine techniques and possessed the divine blood and bones of an emperor, he would probably have turned to dust along with this mountain in an instant.
Thump!
Thump!
The sound, like the beating of a giant drum, shook the void, causing ripples to spread.
That was the sound of Li Ming's heartbeat.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Ming had already activated his bloodline divine power, and the incomplete divine bone in his body seemed to be reborn from the ashes, radiating divine light.
The intense heat of the blood and qi is so powerful it seems capable of burning mountains and boiling seas!
The blazing divine light was like a waterfall flowing backwards, the Milky Way hanging upside down, soaring into the sky!
The illusory figure of the Celestial Venerable standing in front of Lei Hai did not make a move, but the several figures following behind him took a step forward, their eyes radiating a sharp light, their battle robes fluttering, and their mouths chanting the words of the Great Dao.
In an instant, the vast sound waves transformed into surging divine thunder, and then into countless hundred-foot-long dragons and snakes rolling about.
Extremely strong and yang, the sun is boundless!
The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man is a tribulation that tests all living beings. Although it is a tribulation, it is also a kind of creation.
It all depends on whether you can handle it.
If it were an ordinary celestial calamity, it would be of no use to him.
This powerful thunderbolt, on the contrary, suited his ideas perfectly.
Boom, boom, boom...
Li Ming's body trembled, his domain unfolded, and chaotic mist surrounded him, transforming into a domain impervious to all laws.
Behind him, numerous extraordinary phenomena manifested: blooming blue lotuses, protective dragons and divine elephants, and the Dharma King's image guarding his path. Beneath his feet, he stood on a Taiji diagram, resembling a young Heavenly Emperor...
All principles flow and change in all directions, causing the heavens and earth to transform.
Despite the thunderbolts striking him, they could not harm him.
"The spring thunder is fierce and powerful, shaking the heavens and earth, startling the seas and overturning the oceans... I want to see the power of these five thunders that strike the heavens, earth, water, gods, and shrines."
Li Ming's eyes remained calm, showing no sign of panic. Instead, his thoughts raced as he pondered and comprehended the legendary Five Thunder Technique.
Thunder Dao is also a supreme path. If one can grasp the power of Thunder Dao and draw inferences from it, it will be of great benefit to him.
However, before he could even grasp the true meaning behind it, he inexplicably felt a sense of life-or-death crisis.
The tribulation clouds grew even larger, and the most terrifying figure within the sea of lightning finally moved.
This Thunder Ancestor of All Heavens, the supreme deity of the Thunder Dao, merely shook the Ruyi in his left hand.
In the vast sea of thunder, a thousand-foot-long rift appeared in an instant. Then, a Qilin emerged from the thunderclouds, let out a long roar, and headed straight for Li Ming.
In an instant.
Li Ming's body trembled, his robes torn, and his defenses were instantly ripped apart by the lightning.
The image of Immovable King behind him was shattered, and a burnt smell filled the air.
