Endless purple energy surged forth from the dark, oppressive clouds of tribulation.
Suddenly, the eighteenth lightning bolt struck, and it was no longer silver-white lightning, but mixed with a faint purple!
The purple lightning pillar was probably a hundred feet tall. At this moment, the lightning tribulation seemed to come alive, transforming into a heavenly punishment lightning dragon!
The Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon hovered in the sky, radiating terrifying lightning tribulation power, seemingly intent on destroying heaven and earth and purifying everything.
Even though Yuan Tian was far away from the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, he felt an extremely powerful pressure, and a trace of despair rose in his heart as he was tainted by the might of Heaven.
He could sense the terror of this thunder dragon!
If this Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon were to fall, it would likely affect tens of thousands of miles of living beings and annihilate everything!
This is no longer a tribulation of lightning!
It was a true divine punishment...
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou's eyes also showed a hint of solemnity as he looked at the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon.
This eighteenth lightning tribulation has already exceeded the sum of the previous seventeen lightning tribulations.
This thunder dragon was too terrifying. Even he himself was unsure whether his Heavenly Punishment Body and Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique could control and absorb such a powerful thunder tribulation.
He was ultimately only at the King and Marquis level, even though he had climbed from the initial stage to the peak after seventeen lightning tribulations.
Even though the power of the seventeen lightning tribulations had increased dramatically just now, it still did not exceed the scope of the Supreme Saint Lightning Tribulation.
But facing this thunder dragon that was stirring up the sky and exuding the aura of divine punishment, which could no longer be described as a tribulation of lightning, a sense of solemnity could not help but rise in his heart.
However, at that moment, the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon in the sky continued to circle, emitting a deafening thunderous roar, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, and crashed straight towards Zhou Xingdou.
Zhou Xingdou dared not be as casual as before. At this moment, he pushed the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique and the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force to their limits, and the giant elephant particles became wildly agitated.
Thunder roared like a sea, and bloodlust filled the sky!
He currently lacks the power to forcefully break through the Supreme Tribulation of Lightning; he relies entirely on the power of the Punishment Heaven Dao Body.
Even with his extraordinary abilities, it was already an exceptional feat for him to directly confront a God-King. How could he possibly cross the Sacred Realm and strike the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon, which was even more terrifying than the Supreme Sacred Thunder Tribulation?
Therefore, he could only withstand the thunder dragon with his body. If he could withstand it, he would break through the True God realm and greatly increase his cultivation and strength.
As for not being able to resist, Zhou Xingdou never thought that. Since he received the system and Yun Jinzhi's good fortune for his husband, everything had gone smoothly for him.
Even though Lin Fan, the chosen one, is now being suppressed by him like a supporting character, he doesn't believe that the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon can do anything to him!
In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon struck Zhou Xingdou.
boom!
Crack!
Almost instantly, Zhou Xingdou's clothes, which were comparable to magical artifacts, turned to ashes.
The ferocity of the lightning tribulation made Zhou Xingdou tremble all over. In the purple sea of lightning formed by the lightning dragon, his large bones, which resembled those of a dragon, trembled wildly at this moment.
But at this moment, the silver vertical line between his eyebrows twisted and spun his endless light in an instant, turning it into a silver vortex at the center of his brow.
Zhou Xingdou's silver eyes lit up immediately, because he found that he seemed to be feeling alright and did not feel particularly pain from the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Dragon.
However, his Heavenly Punishment Body is indeed no longer as completely immune to the damage caused by the lightning tribulation as it was before.
Although it wasn't exactly pleasant, the extent of the ordeal exceeded Stephen Chow's expectations.
As expected, the Dao Body, which surpasses the Limitless Physique, is still a bug-like existence even though it is still like an infant and has not yet reached its full potential.
Boom!!
Suddenly, the purple thunder pool formed by the thunder dragon in the thundercloud seemed to be attracted, and the sea of thunder surged into the vortex between Zhou Xingdou's eyebrows like a tide.
But at the same time, the thunderclouds in the sky surged with purple energy again, and bolts of lightning with destructive power were generated from the thunder pool, striking Zhou Xingdou's body.
The heavens and earth trembled once more. This was no longer You Ji's tribulation of lightning, but Zhou Xingdou's battle against the heavenly punishment!
Clearly, Heavenly Punishment was not going to give up, and it increased the power of the Thunder Pool several times over. Its terrifying power made even Yuan Tian and You Ji tremble.
Even Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. His originally pure and flawless body was now faintly charred, and a piercing pain spread throughout his body.
Divine punishment is never gentle; it is always the most violent force, and the pain is no less than countless divine swords piercing his every pore.
Countless purple lightning strikes were as boundless as the sea, seemingly endless. Even as the lightning patterns between his brows surged and receded wildly, he was still engulfed by this endless sea of lightning.
But at the same time, the giant elephant particles around Zhou Xingdou were also increasing at an incredible speed.
At this moment, his realm also loosened up. In his previous life, he had stepped into the Great Sage realm. In this life, the gap between kings and true gods seemed to have no existence and he broke through it all!
In an instant, Zhou Xingdou's boundless spiritual power erupted with a divine aura, and the fourth supreme divine treasure within his dantian condensed with a bang.
A divine intent also erupted in his sea of consciousness. At this moment, his divine consciousness was no longer ethereal and illusory, but extremely solid. In an instant, millions of thoughts were processed, and his computational power reached its limit.
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou's comprehension has doubled, and his thoughts have surged so much that they are no longer comparable to what they were before. He has gained many more insights into countless techniques.
The astonishing divine power contained within the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, and the current transformation of its supreme power and techniques, also appeared in Zhou Xingdou's mind at this moment.
Although Zhou Xingdou is in extreme pain, his physical body, cultivation level, and sea of consciousness are all surging forward simultaneously.
Without even relying on the system to extract information, in this moment, one actively forgets all the environment, pain, and tribulation.
With his five hearts facing the sky, he sat cross-legged in the sea of thunder, radiating the light of enlightenment from his body, and entered a state of sudden enlightenment!
Outside the lightning tribulation, Yuan Tian looked at Fahai and saw that he still did not show any signs of tension, so he stopped shouting and rushing forward.
Stephen Chow had already given him enough shocks today, leaving him feeling somewhat exhausted.
At this moment, Yuan Tian felt no emotion, and even wanted to laugh a little. He teased Fahai:
"Who knows, it might not be long before the young master surpasses both of us."
Fahai did not refute, but nodded in agreement, though a desire for power also arose in his heart.
He had only been summoned by Zhou Xingdou for a few days, but now he felt that his strength was not enough. If he could not improve, he might be forgotten by Zhou Xingdou, just as Yuan Tian had said.
As for You Ji, who was located below the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Pool, it was as if the Heavenly Tribulation remembered that she was the protagonist, because occasionally a bolt of lightning would overflow from the Thunder Pool and strike You Ji.
However, that power was far inferior to the lightning punishment that Zhou Xingdou endured in the Thunder Pool; perhaps it was simply incomparable.
But this was enough to prevent her from achieving the status of a Supreme Saint, so that she wouldn't become the first incomplete Supreme Saint who only went through one tribulation of lightning to achieve a breakthrough.
She didn't suffer a loss because Zhou Xingdou took it away during the tribulation, but now that she's under the control of the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal, Youji wouldn't have such thoughts.
For her now, even if she didn't survive the tribulation, all the lightning tribulations were swallowed up by Zhou Xingdou, leaving not a trace.
May she achieve the flawed sainthood.
She would only feel honored, without a trace of resentment, and even wanted to have Zhou Xingdou's babies.
