Chapter 722: Chapter 526: Thunder Devours the Body, Divine Soul Annihilated_3

A loud crash sounded, like the simultaneous ringing of a bell and chime!

Qiming Spirit Monarch’s short stature suddenly expanded, spiritual qi surged, and divine techniques activated. Platinum light burst forth from his muscles and bones, transforming him into a glowing figure.

White Dragon Divine Thunder and Blazing Fire Dragon Breath descended with a resounding crash, propelling Qiming Spirit Monarch like a meteor. Though the platinum light trembled slightly, it remained unbreakable, with Qiming Spirit Monarch’s muscles and bones completely unharmed!

Wu Yan took a deep breath, realizing this was the divine technique Elder Guh had mentioned.

Lifebound Divine Power: Indestructible Golden Body!

This is a major problem; this divine technique is stronger than imagined. Its defense is unparalleled, easily enduring White Dragon Divine Thunder and Blazing Fire Dragon Breath.

Previously, when Qiming Spirit Monarch was in the Golden Core stage, this divine technique had weaknesses due to its high consumption and short duration. However, now that he has ascended to Nascent Soul, the divine technique has upgraded to a lifelong divine power, greatly reducing consumption and allowing extended use.

How can we possibly break through his defense?

Wu Yan watched as the White Dragon Divine Thunder and Blazing Fire Dragon Breath gradually dissipated, and the distant figure flew back, unleashing spiritual power.

Earlier, she used secret techniques to temporarily bind Qiming Spirit Monarch, preventing the use of her divine powers. Now, she can only hope her divine techniques can harm Qiming Spirit Monarch!

The Yunshan sect members all joined in, determined to halt his progress despite knowing their efforts might be futile.

On the ground, Dong Chengjun pressed down on the struggling Guh Niqiang, whose wounds had reopened.

"Senior Brother, let me go!" Guh Niqiang weakly said. The Yunshan Sect could not break the Indestructible Golden Body, and engaging would only result in death.

Dong Chengjun urgently said, "We’re both gravely injured and would only be burdens if we go. Trust in Sect Leader Lu; he will surely find a way!"

At the mention of Lu Qian’s name, Guh Niqiang paused, then insisted on getting up, "He’s still crossing a tribulation, what can he do?"

Around Minglong Mountain, scouts eagerly watched, wishing for more eyes and heads to record both Lu Qian’s tribulation and the Yunshan Sect’s encounter with the Nascent Soul Spirit Monarch.

Goodness, today has been eventful from start to finish. This contribution is bound to be rewarded!

Hidden around Minglong Mountain were Master Cangfeng and Ye Xiao, standing side by side.

They had arrived almost simultaneously with Qiming Spirit Monarch, but held back due to uncertainty. Now, seeing the Yunshan Sect conflict with Qiming Spirit Monarch, their minds raced.

Should we join the fray and support the Yunshan Sect?

Being allies, we should indeed support. But the opponent is a Nascent Soul Spirit Monarch! Despite witnessing the powerful attacks unable to breach Nascent Soul defenses, joining might not help, risking serious injury.

Yet, the Yunshan Sect’s potential is vast, with the Celestial Spiritual Root Wu Yan and Lu Qian on the brink of crossing a celestial tribulation. Their current display shows bright prospects. Offering aid now promises great benefits.

Thoughts clashing, in the blink of an eye, Master Cangfeng hesitated but saw Ye Xiao grit her teeth and soar up, flying toward the battle!

Ye Xiao, who always followed the Mingyu Sword Sect’s lead, now made her own decision.

Master Cangfeng understood her intent, sighed softly, and also soared into the air.

But at that moment, a rumbling sounded from the sky, conveying a terrifying aura of destruction. Lu Qian, clad in a White Feather Cloak, plunged directly toward Qiming Spirit Monarch!

"Yunshan disciples, retreat immediately!"

Lu Qian had passed the Fourth Celestial Tribulation and was being chased by the last celestial tribulation. Ignoring everything, he charged toward Qiming Spirit Monarch!

On the other side, Qiming Spirit Monarch saw Lu Qian rapidly approaching, along with the dense, inescapable tribulation clouds, and was momentarily stunned. He cursed and quickly retreated.

If caught within the tribulation range, he would also be targeted by the tribulation, escalating its power to an unbearable level due to his Nascent Soul cultivation!

"Qiming Spirit Monarch, why are you fleeing?" Lu Qian laughed boisterously, "Weren’t you planning to visit my Minglong Mountain?"

"Damn you!" Qiming Spirit Monarch cursed loudly, "Once the tribulation dissipates, if you’re still alive, I’ll peel off your skin and crush your bones!"

Qiming Spirit Monarch’s Nascent Soul escape speed was exceedingly fast. Naturally, Lu Qian couldn’t catch up. Seeing him retreat, Lu Qian halted and shouted back loudly, "Very well! After crossing the tribulation, my sect will seek guidance from the Spirit Monarch!"

Boom! The last celestial tribulation descended. Nearly entirely transformed into violet thunderbolts, the storm condensed a warrior clad in heavy Thunder Armor, wielding a long blade that crackled through the sky, charging at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian continued to draw immense spiritual power from the Spiritual Storage Pearl. With a wave of his hands, a giant White Tiger emerged on his left, roaring defiantly, while a Fire Phoenix regenerated on his right, screeching loudly, enveloping everything in flames.

The gigantic sounds reverberated through the sky. The organized Yunshan sect members, Master Cangfeng and Ye Xiao, the scouts and sentries from different sects, and even the now-motionless Qiming Spirit Monarch, all gazed skyward. They watched the last celestial tribulation, observing the clash between the Thunder Warrior and White Tiger, Fire Phoenix.

This final Thunder Tribulation indeed possessed extraordinary power; the Thunder Warrior, clad in heavy armor, could effectively ward off the attacks of the White Tiger and Fire Phoenix. Simultaneously, its formidable long blade pierced through the air, shattering the Fourfold Transformation while torrents of thunderbolts crashed down upon Lu Qian.

Yet Lu Qian showed no fear. His body trembled, and the nine hundred and ninety-nine Spirit Feathers on the White Crane Ruyi Cloak turned ocher, forming layers of Rock Armor, securely shielding him inside and keeping all lightning outside.

With the support of the Spiritual Storage Pearl, Lu Qian unleashed his full potential; the Fourfold Transformation was dispersed once, only to be summoned again.

After a short pause for tea, the Thunder Warrior could no longer withstand the assault—its armor shattered, and its long blade broke. With a final mournful cry, the White Tiger bit its throat, and it struggled a few times unwillingly before dissipating in the sky.

The Fifth Thunder Tribulation was broken!

All Fivefold Thunder Tribulations were crossed, and the Golden Core Celestial Tribulation was successfully concluded!

An enormous cheer erupted from Minglong Mountain. Everyone temporarily forgot the threat of the Qiming Spirit Monarch, seeing only Lu Qian’s success in crossing the tribulation.

In that instant, the vast sky and boundless earth seemed delightful.

Standing in the firmament, Lu Qian’s heart stirred as a profound and mysterious aura transmitted from the Void—it was the Celestial-Human Communication, with vitality germinating.

In his Dantian, the Spirit Flower gently quivered as an invisible shackle finally broke. The petals rustled and dispersed, as the Spirit Fruit radiated brilliant light!

The Five Elements Dao Pattern writhed, merging into the Spirit Fruit, reining in its small tail-like root. Thus the Spirit Fruit became a complete and harmonious entity, transforming into a dazzling golden orb in an instant.

The fruit matured, and the Golden Core formed!

But at this moment of ecstatic celebration!

A soft chuckle echoed from within Lu Qian’s body.

In an instant, Lu Qian’s hair stood on end.

A voice softly whispered in his ear.

"Take my token, and no calamities shall approach."

"Wield my technique, and no tribulation shall harm."

"Offer your flesh and blood, and ascend together in bliss."

"Sacrifice your divine soul, and journey together to the Immortal Court."

Merciful Propagation of Miao Fa Celestial Monarch!

The next moment, the world changed color!

The already dispersing tribulation clouds suddenly turned a crimson-purple hue!

Purple thunderclouds howled, blanketing the firmament, obscuring the setting sun. Thick arcs and lightning flashes stirred within the clouds, congregating into a sea to replace the sky. Countless mountain-sized, diversely shaped Thunder Beasts and Thunder Dragons roiled and roared amidst the purple clouds.

Thunder erupted, and creatures bowed in submission; lightning metamorphosed, and all things faced destruction!

Everyone shivered uncontrollably, oppressed by an indescribable, terrifying aura that rendered them immobile.

They could only watch helplessly as, amid the sea of thunder, a pitch-black lotus emerged!

The black Thunder Lotus, with its world-annihilating terror, descended heavily.

Lu Qian shouted: "I..."

His voice was swallowed by the thunder; those below could not hear what he cried out.

BOOM!

A flash of black light, and from the sky above, a coal-black sun arose!

Roaring thunder rattled the heavens and the earth, a violent wave of air crashed down violently, knocking everyone to the ground.

A few moments later, as they looked up in terror, the thunderclouds had completely vanished, leaving a profound stillness between heaven and earth.

The setting sun was like blood, staining the mountain peaks, and above the sky, there was not a soul.

Lu Qian, his divine soul completely extinguished?!
