Su Murong walked over from not far away, followed by two old men.
One of them is Elder Fayuan: Zhong Xuanji.
The other old man is also one of the nine elders of Bureau 79, Elder Chiyang: Zhao Heyang.
Zhao Heyang was a straightforward person. After glancing at Fu Bao, he said with a hint of meaning, "Although the demon race's bodies are stronger than humans, they also endure heavier thunder tribulations."
"Lightning has the ability to dispel evil and exorcise demons, and naturally restrains demonic energy and bodies."
"Even with the aid of natural treasures, it would be difficult for a great demon's body to completely withstand the thunderbolt. At best, it would be seriously injured, and at worst, it would disintegrate on the spot."
After saying this, Zhong Xuanji also sighed, "Yes, the heavenly tribulation contains multiple killing intentions, not just thunder and lightning. High-level heavenly tribulations often contain the dual attributes of thunder and fire, which can destroy the flesh and refine the soul."
"Some demon cultivators have to endure attacks from their inner demons during thunder tribulations. If they can't overcome that inner barrier, their hearts will collapse before the thunder arrives."
"When the Heavenly Dao brings down a calamity, it will also seal off space, preventing demon cultivators from teleporting or escaping. They must endure it head-on, increasing the difficulty of overcoming the calamity."
"The Heavenly Tribulation is a gamble between Heaven and Earth and the demons, a collision of flesh and blood with the laws of nature. When a great demon endures the tribulation, it's gambling its future with its life."
At this time, Fubao already had a dejected look on his face, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
It was a rare opportunity to encounter two elders explaining the heavenly tribulation. In order to help Fubao better understand the desperate situation he would face in the future, Su Yao continued to explain: "Fubao, many great monsters failed to survive the tribulation, not because of lightning, but because of obsession and inner demons."
"The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the obsession. One is more likely to be tempted by the inner demons and lose one's composure during the thunder tribulation."
"The demon race has a very long lifespan and complex memories, which can easily trigger "illusionary calamity". If the soul is unstable, they will perish directly."
"Demon cultivators are different from human sects. They don't have complete guardians, magic arrays, or magic weapons to assist them. Most of them face tribulations alone."
She deliberately glanced at Su Murong and said, "You've seen it too. Before the great demon even transcends his tribulation... there are already people waiting to take advantage of it."
"Sister, are they here to steal the demon pill?" Fubao understood immediately.
Su Yao said nothing and agreed.
Despite being ridiculed, Su Murong remained frank and said, "Miss Su, with your cultivation and knowledge, you must have seen through the nature of this great demon long ago. If this evil demon with evil intentions is allowed to successfully overcome the tribulation, it will surely cause chaos and endanger the people in the future."
"Director Su means that you won't take advantage of others' misfortune?"
He curled his lips but did not answer.
Zhong Xuanji and Zhao Heyang also fell silent.
The purpose of coming here is obvious.
We must wait until the big monster has passed the tribulation and is seriously injured before we take action to suppress it.
…
In a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
The clouds are thousands of feet high, and the sky is as dark as ink.
The rolling thunder is roaring down from the sky!
In the sky above Qibai Mountain, a lone figure was suspended like a torch, his robe was torn to pieces, blood kept dripping from the corners of his lips, turning into red lotuses and falling into the void.
It was a human figure with a back as straight as a knife blade.
The calamity clouds rolled, lightning snakes danced wildly, and the entire mountain range seemed to be trembling.
His eyes were closed tightly, his body trembled slightly, but he did not move.
He was waiting, waiting for the last thunder from the sky.
This is the eighth thunder tribulation.
He endured the first seven with the strength of 900 years of hard training, his scales and bones were shattered, his soul was shaken, and his demon pill was cracked.
He knew he shouldn't have taken this path.
The demon is against the will of heaven. For him, nine hundred years is already the end, but he still insists on overcoming the tribulation, just for a chance to transform into the Tao.
"I will never accept my fate." He murmured softly.
The ninth thunder came down from the sky, like the overturning of the sea of stars and the pressure of eternity. A purple-gold thunder with a diameter of three meters struck down, and cracks appeared in the void.
He finally looked up, revealing a pair of dark black pupils.
"My name is Li An. I was born in the Nanling Marsh. I have been in deep sleep for nine hundred years, cultivating. Not to devour people, not to transform into a demon, but only to seek the truth! Why can't the heavens tolerate me?!"
He roared, stirring up a mountain wind and sending demonic energy surging like the sea. Then, he suddenly spread his arms, and the scales on his body exploded, revealing his white bones. Using his own demonic core as a guide, he forcibly drew lightning into his body, attempting to refine his soul with lightning and reverse his fate!
Boom!!
The sea of thunder exploded, the sky and earth roared, and the entire Qibai Mountain was illuminated in purple and white.
Under this devastating blow, the figure finally couldn't hold on any longer. He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his body fell rapidly from mid-air.
He was like a star with a broken string, falling from the sea of thunder, straight into the dark blue lake at the foot of Qibai Mountain, stirring up waves dozens of feet high, and a layer of white mist instantly evaporated from the surface of the lake.
Silence returned to the surrounding area, only the thunderclouds slowly dissipated, as if heaven and earth also tacitly accepted his failure.
His life or death is uncertain.
The lake gradually calmed down, and suddenly a blue light flashed at the bottom of the lake, and a huge shadow slowly appeared.
A giant salamander over ten meters long, dark blue all over, with huge limbs and claws, eyes as black as ink, emitting a faint demonic aura, was lying quietly at the bottom of the lake, its breath was extremely weak, and there were still burn marks from lightning on its scales.
It is none other than the nine hundred year old demon who wanted to defy the will of heaven and transform into a human form: Li An.
It was not dead yet, but its demon pill was cracked, its soul was shattered, and its body was trapped in the thunder, so it could not escape in a short time.
At this moment, two rainbow lights broke through the air in the distant forest and landed on the lakeside in an instant.
“It’s here.”
Zhong Xuanji held the dark green magic mirror in one hand, the mirror surface shone with cold light, and the figure of the giant salamander flashed in the magic mirror.
"The thunder tribulation has passed, the human form has not been formed, and the soul is damaged. It is a good opportunity to capture the monster." Zhao Heyang's face was calm. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of formation talismans flew out of his sleeves and fell among the surrounding rocks and water plants. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.
"Heavenly Net Formation·Soul Locking Style—Activate!"
