My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 349: Lightning Tribulation

The Immortal Sect disciples within the Purple Cloud Mountain scope were all numb.

Those sporadic things falling from the sky were all fragments of their seniors.

So many Deity Transformation Stage great powers perishing, placed in the entire Xuanzhou, was no less than a major earthquake.

What’s more, the person who took out so many Deity Transformation cultivators was Lu Bai, who was of the same generation as them.

The impact force of reality was too great, nearly shocking them all to the degree of losing the ability to speak.

The Immortal Sect disciples whose minds were a bit more active saw that Lu Bai wasn’t paying attention to them, forcibly suppressed their shocked emotions, and quickly ran away.

Considering their own safety and the sect behind them, they all had to return to the sect as quickly as possible and inform the sect elders of what happened here.

Lu Bai truly didn’t care about these things.

He adjusted his breathing and conveniently released Elder Wang, who had been imprisoned by magic power.

Taking out all the guys present who dared to have ideas about him in one go, he didn’t have any arrogant ideas.

He had known from the beginning what degree he could achieve; now he had merely realized it.

“Lu…” Elder Wang looked at Lu Bai in a daze, not knowing how to address him for a moment.

Anyway, he absolutely didn’t dare to treat Lu Bai as his own disciple anymore.

His performance was simply too exaggerated; in his cognition, even an Integration Stage cultivator probably couldn’t do it so effortlessly.

“What does Elder Wang want to say?”

Lu Bai was mainly dividing out his divine sense to search for death fighters and casually asked without even looking straight at this Elder Wang.

To be honest, with Lu Bai’s earlier performance, let alone not looking straight at him—even treating him as a henchman, Elder Wang felt it was only natural.

Hearing Lu Bai willing to call him Elder Wang now, he even felt a bit flattered.

Elder Wang hurriedly responded: “No, no, I wanted to say, you did great, as expected of the most outstanding disciple in the history of our Qingwang Sect.”

“Elder Wang has also served the sect tirelessly.”

Lu Bai gave him a smiling face: “How about Elder Wang leads the team back to the sect first?”

His implication was naturally to wander around by himself first and incidentally resolve some death fighters.

For the current Lu Bai, finding death fighters could be said to be effortless.

After all, his cultivation realm had already reached the Mahayana Stage.

Even with the speedrun playstyle, causing Lu Bai to not be that familiar with the power he possessed, the stats were just too high.

The divine sense that elevated along with his cultivation realm was sufficiently powerful and vast.

With a single thought, he could investigate Purple Cloud City thoroughly.

On this basis, no matter where those death fighters were hiding, as long as he was willing to spend time, he could completely find them one by one.

With such overwhelming strength right there, even in a negotiating tone, how could Elder Wang dare to really offer any opinion.

He subconsciously wanted to agree, but before he could open his mouth.

He abruptly sensed the sky changing drastically.

Above his head, layers of dark clouds gathered, thick and oppressive, as if a major rainstorm was about to fall.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the pitch-black cloud layer, proclaiming its own existence.

Boom!

Deafening thunder followed closely, and in a daze, it made people feel that the world under the clouds had suddenly become much quieter.

The flying birds and beasts in the mountains all went into hiding; regardless of whether they had spiritual intelligence, the instinct to avoid disaster inherited from their bloodline made them vaguely realize that this was absolutely not a normal celestial phenomenon change, producing extreme panic in their hearts.

Whoosh~~

Thunder clouds had arrived, and the strong wind gradually rose.

The howling of the gale between heaven and earth intensified, like a tsunami after a high-intensity earthquake, with a majestic aura.

Those centuries-old or over-a-thousand-year-old ancient trees with deep roots in Purple Cloud Mountain all swayed under the wind’s assault; patches of leaves and vegetation were swept into the sky, and looking down from above, it was completely a spectacular scene of a forest sea surging like waves.

Rumble!!!

Within the pitch-black dense cloud layer, more tree-like thunder patterns appeared, like countless golden snakes raising their heads and wandering in the sea of clouds.

Unable to fully illuminate the pitch-black sky, it only made people’s already oppressed emotions feel even heavier.

Elder Wang only felt all the hair on his body standing on end; the longer he stayed in mid-air, the thicker the gloom in his heart.

The thunder sea in the clouds emitted an unpredictable danger.

Subconsciously, he felt that if he didn’t hide on the ground soon… he would die.

“This, this is.”

The path of cultivation goes against the heavens.

Elder Wang recalled the records he had seen in the ancient books treasured by the sect and suddenly looked at Lu Bai: “Lu… your realm now is?”

Lu Bai slightly tilted his head up, gazing at the thick thunder clouds spreading over hundreds of miles in the sky, and lightly whispered without turning his head: “Considered Mahayana Stage.”

Elder Wang forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva; he no longer wanted to ask how Lu Bai’s cultivation realm had skyrocketed so fast.

His tone was as hoarse as if squeezed out from his throat.

“It seems the rumor is true: before cultivators ascend to immortality, they must undergo a test from the Heavenly Dao, and this test is the Lightning Tribulation.”

This Lightning Tribulation thing, in a certain sense, was a major screening mechanism of the Heavenly Dao, belonging to standard dynamic difficulty.

The higher your cultivation, the stronger your talent, the greater the power of the Lightning Tribulation you face.

Lu Bai hadn’t eaten pork but had seen pigs run.

By the standards of Mahayana Stage cultivators, he didn’t think he was among the experts at all.

The reason his earlier performance was so dominant was purely because the opponents were too weak.

After all, his total cultivation time wasn’t long; where was the opportunity to consolidate his foundation.

But Lu Bai’s aptitude was absurdly strong; without exaggeration, since records existed in this cultivation world, Lu Bai could easily rank in the top tier of aptitude.

How great the power of the upcoming Lightning Tribulation would be was simply unimaginable.

“I… I have to, hide.” Elder Wang’s calves trembled uncontrollably; that death threat like ten thousand great mountains hanging overhead made him completely unwilling to stay in this place any longer.

Before his words finished, he quickly landed on the ground and frantically ran out of the thunder cloud coverage area.

Lu Bai couldn’t be bothered to care what Elder Wang was doing now; he had already restored the Steel Body ability.

However, he had no confidence at all in his heart.

Most importantly, even surviving the Lightning Tribulation wouldn’t benefit him.

Ascension to the Immortal Realm and such was utterly meaningless to a death fighter like him and would instead affect his acquisition of points.

Boom!

The Lightning Tribulation that had been accumulating for a long time finally dropped the first bolt.

The dazzling and vast thunder was heavenly punishment from the world rules, arriving in an instant.

The terrifying thunder directly blasted Lu Bai into a humanoid charcoal, his whole body spasming, unable even to lift a hand.

Fortunately, there was the physical body enhancement of Steel Body; otherwise, this first Lightning Tribulation could have directly blasted Lu Bai into powder.
