Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2095 1516: Confidence (Part 2)

Meanwhile, he secretly heightened his vigilance against the Heart Demon to the highest level!

Because Li Zhiruiʼs reaction just now was abnormal; with his disposition, it was impossible for him to waver at such a pivotal moment during Tribulation Transcendence and begin doubting himself.

So the first thing he did upon sobering up was to immediately check his entire body and then discovered a lingering trace of an Outer Heaven Demonʼs aura in his Sea of Consciousness.

This clue alone was enough to prove that his earlier anxiety was not spontaneously generated but that someone in the shadows was trying to manipulate him!

Although Li Zhirui didnʼt understand why the Thunder Tribulation hadnʼt ended yet and the Outer Heaven Demon could already attempt a sneak attack on him, this move not only failed but also exposed itself, arousing his vigilance.

Many thoughts, yet merely a flash.

Back to the matter at hand!

”Come on! Let me experience just how powerful a Profound Immortal Thunder Tribulation truly is!” Li Zhirui shouted solemnly.

He appeared full of confidence, yet frantically operated the Spirit Absorption Secret Technique, even keeping several Rejuvenation Immortal Pills in his mouth, sparing no effort to recover his Mana faster.

Unexpectedly, the sixth Tribulation Thunder wasnʼt as powerful as he had anticipated, and Li Zhirui, fully prepared, easily dealt with this Tribulation Thunder.

However, this result did not bring him joy; his expression grew more solemn.

For he realized this was the Tribulation Thunder accumulating power, strengthening the force of the subsequent one.

Before long, the Void started to suffuse with an indescribable pressure, hindering normal respiration.

A mere sound of thunder was heard, and a massive lightning bolt descended, seemingly ripping through the surrounding chaotic spiritual energy and shattering the extreme pressure, directly targeting Li Zhirui.

Faced with this, he dared not neglect it, focused entirely, hands ceaselessly forming spells, rapidly producing Spirit Light, instantly conjuring a sky-blue giant dragon in front of him. Proudly raising its head, it roared towards the Tribulation Thunder.

Awrooo—

But shortly after clashing with the Tribulation Thunder, the dragon couldnʼt contain a whimper, looking rather disheveled.

Li Zhiruiʼs brows furrowed deeply, his hand gestures quickening, Mana within him visibly plummeting.

Paying such a hefty price resulted in the dragon not only fully recovering but growing stronger! It found itself evenly matched with the Tribulation Thunder, exchanging blows constantly.

Seeing this, Qing Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”I told you, with Jiuʼs strength, these Tribulation Thunders are no issue!”

Unfortunately, he wasnʼt aware that Li Zhirui was under tremendous pressure, simultaneously controlling the dragon to tackle the Tribulation Thunder and recovering Mana.

It was only due to his strong Spiritual Soul that he could achieve such seamless coordination; otherwise, things would have faltered long ago.

After prolonged entanglement, the Tribulation Thunder eventually dissipated, as it couldnʼt replenish its energy once the last bit of Mana was exhausted.

”Finally solved this Tribulation Thunder!”

Yet, Li Zhirui had no moment to catch his breath and commenced the secret technique to refine elixirs, racing against time to restore Mana.

Sadly, the Tribulation Thunder didnʼt grant him much time.

A hefty bolt, compressing violent lightning into a singular form, came towards him without much sound.

Rumble—

Suddenly, a deafening wave crashing sound erupted in the Void, then, a vast ocean mysteriously appeared above Li Zhiruiʼs head.

In the next instant, countless ʼliving beingsʼ soared out of it, akin to moths charging into flames, embracing death despite knowing their futile sacrifice!

Most ʼliving beingsʼ would explode instantly upon contact with the Tribulation Thunder, transforming back into water droplets that returned to the ocean, with relatively minor losses.

This alone saved Li Zhirui quite a bit of Mana.

He seized the opportunity of the Tribulation Thunder being stalled to continue restoring Mana.

For he understood that this divine power couldnʼt fully negate the Tribulation Thunder; it needed reinforcement, especially with an even mightier Tribulation Thunder in waiting—something absolutely not to overlook!

Rather, he needed to be in utmost alertness, only then heʼd have a chance to overcome the final Tribulation Thunder.

When half the Mana within Li Zhirui was restored, he cast hand gestures once more, sprouting giant trees from the ocean, which swiftly grew into sky-reaching ones.

These trees, however, werenʼt lifeless; they were unique entities that actively attacked.

They madly swung their roots, and each strike separated a bit of thunder light from the Tribulation Thunder, absorbing and transforming it into growth nutrients.

With the oceanʼs rich spiritual energy below, the giant trees surprisingly endured for a long time, eventually wearing down the eighth Tribulation Thunder entirely.

”Only the final Tribulation Thunder remains!” Li Zhirui raised his head, gazing at the layers of Tribulation Cloud above.

Be it an illusion, suddenly he felt as if the color of the Tribulation Cloud had considerably lightened, perhaps due to previous Tribulation Thunders or perhaps due to this final one devouring spiritual energy to bolster its power.

He certainly hoped for the former, so he wouldnʼt face an exceedingly terrifying Tribulation Thunder, vastly increasing his odds of safely transcending.

But soon the reason would be apparent!

Thud!

A roar akin to a beast bellowed, followed by a three-foot-wide lightning bolt emerging from the Tribulation Cloud, quickly descending.

This Tribulation Thunder was far larger than the giant dragon Li Zhirui previously conjured through secret techniques!

Its mere presence instilled immense pressure, while the explosive lightning struck fear into hearts.

Yet he didnʼt cower in fear; instead, becoming quite invigorated, as Li Zhirui believed that once he overcame this Tribulation Thunder, heʼd be safe!

Brilliantly white, the massive thunderbolt descended, bearing earth-shattering power, hurtling towards him.

The previously unyielding Void seemed fragile before the Tribulation Thunder, as chaotic spiritual energy unravelled along its path.

”Here it comes!”

Li Zhirui shouted, void of any fear, but was filled with utter calm resolve, his Mana fiercely flaring, retaliating with unwavering strength!

The ocean surged with towering waves, the giant trees wildly thrashing their roots, employing various means to combat the Tribulation Thunder.

Even his own body imperceptibly transformed into a more than a hundred-zhang Chaos God Demon true form, focusing on Purification Principle. Five laws encapsulated and intertwined around him, forming a stark white light that followed up.

Boom—

The clash detonated an energy burst, shaking the Void, causing ripple-like fissures in the space.

Yet overall, Li Zhirui was still slightly inferior; the Tribulation Thunder kept pressing closer.

In this situation, he didnʼt surrender, consuming numerous Rejuvenating Treasure Pills, entirely focused on resolving the Tribulation Thunder ahead!

The Yin Yang Grinding Wheel formed by Water and Wood Law instantaneously enclosed the Tribulation Thunder from left and right, spinning furiously to diminish its power.

Moreover, his novice Space Law transformed into relentless Spatial Blades, consistently slashing at the Tribulation Thunder.

Li Zhiruiʼs best Purification Principle was also utilized, even though it lacked destructive force, it erased those unrefined chaotic spiritual energies within the Tribulation Thunder, weakening its strength and removing the replenishing energy.

Soon enough, the aggressive Tribulation Thunder was hindered!

Seeing this positive turn, his heart was overwhelmed with joy, as if witnessing the dawn of victory, boosting his confidence, making him strive even harder to unleash divine power.

The two sides continued their contest in the Void, seeing who could persist longer.

After a while, the enormous Tribulation Thunder started dimming!

Face with this excellent opportunity, Li Zhirui wouldnʼt miss it, relentlessly launching fiercer attacks, striving to obliterate the Tribulation Thunder promptly.
