Serpent Ancestor

Long before, she had discussed with Ding Quan the method to deal with the Thunder Tribulation Pearl.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect had suffered greatly from the Thunder Tribulation Pearl before. Qin Xuanji’s daughter was killed by its explosion.

Even the emperor of the Qin Kingdom had been ambushed with a Thunder Tribulation Pearl by someone who sent him a painting.

This formation was the proud creation of Gongshu Lei, the strongest formation Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Although it couldn’t completely eliminate the impact, it could reduce the power of the heavenly tribulation to its minimum.

The Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations couldn’t be fully suppressed. The more you tried to suppress it, the stronger it would explode.

This was the terrifying aspect of the heavenly tribulation!

This formation compressed the power of the heavenly tribulation within a specific area, releasing it cyclically without letting it spill out, thereby reducing the destruction.

”Explode!”

With Xu Hei’s low shout, the light shield formed simultaneously.

Inside the light shield, there were thin blue lines, which were lightning conductors that could draw the lightning within the area and prevent it from spreading.”Crack, crack, crack...”

The Thunder Tribulation Pearl was covered in cracks and instantly exploded. The destructive energy inside poured out, and the thunder roared like blue thunder dragons, letting out ferocious growls.

”Boom!!!”

The void shook, the heavens and earth trembled, and terrifying ripples swept out. Everyone spat blood and was thrown back.

The lightning struck the edge of the light shield, constantly vibrating, causing the ground to crack and buildings to collapse, but it couldn’t break through the encirclement.

”It’s under control!”

Liu Ruyan wiped the blood from her mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Outside the casino, the mechanical dog also showed a look of disdain, sniffing around, intending to find Ma Teng’s hidden body.

But at that moment.

Inside the light shield, the originally blue lightning turned purple, growing darker and darker, becoming deep purple, and its power was crazily increasing!

The light shield was visibly filling with cracks, about to collapse.

”How is this possible?!”

These words weren’t from Liu Ruyan.

They came from the mechanical dog.

Ding Quan’s heart was in turmoil. He could feel the formation rapidly disintegrating, unable to withstand it!

He had planned to track Xu Hei’s real body, but now he had no such thoughts. In a flash, he fled at the fastest speed.

Ding Quan’s hidden body also fled frantically, as if he had seen a ghost.

Even Liu Ruyan, no matter how foolish, realized something was wrong.

This Thunder Tribulation Pearl was abnormal!

”Everyone, retreat!”

Liu Ruyan shouted, and all the members inside the casino fled for their lives, their hearts in their throats, their souls almost scared out of them.

At this moment, everyone felt a chill running from their spine to the top of their heads. This was the body’s instinctive warning of danger, a crisis of death!

The formation controlling the heavenly tribulation was about to fail!

As for Xu Hei’s true body, at the moment the first shockwave hit, he used Body Swap to switch places with another puppet five miles away.

As for the puppet Ma Teng, he decisively abandoned it.

”What’s going on with that Thunder Tribulation Pearl? Why did it turn deep purple?”

Xu Hei’s heart was very unsettled. He had vaguely felt before that the energy of this pearl seemed different from what was recorded, but he hadn’t thought much of it.

Now, he felt a tingling on his scalp and fled at the fastest speed.

In the blink of an eye!

Not long after everyone fled, just two breaths’ time.

”Boom!!!”

A thunderous roar that everyone in Chuyang City could hear echoed above the Heavenly Dragon Casino.

”Boom!!!”

The sky exploded, daylight filled the area, as if a hole had been punched in the sky, light piercing through the clouds, illuminating for miles.

At this moment, everyone in the commercial district went blind, their ears deafened, their heads buzzing, losing all senses.

The next second, a world-destroying thunder roar swept from the center, all cultivators spat blood and were thrown back, taking out various magical treasures to resist, but each one exploded, shattered into pieces.

Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, all were severely injured!

These were the people in the commercial district.

As for the cultivators at the center of the Heavenly Dragon Casino, the moment the dazzling lightning swept out, their bodies vaporized instantly, turning into steam, not even a hair left.

”What kind of tribulation is this...?”

Only this thought appeared in Liu Ruyan’s mind.

This wasn’t the Four-Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulation, definitely not. A normal Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation wouldn’t be this terrifying!

What they saw wasn’t blue lightning, but deep purple, mixed with a hint of black!

Ancient cultivators all had perfect Foundation Establishment!

And the heavenly tribulation triggered by perfect Foundation Establishment cultivators during Qi Condensation was countless times more powerful than today’s!

From the weakest Four-Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulation to the Great Heavenly Tribulation, and then to the Destruction Heavenly Tribulation, each level was a qualitative change!

They didn’t know what kind of heavenly tribulation was stored in this Thunder Tribulation Pearl, only that it was not something a normal cultivator could withstand.

”Bang!!”

The shockwave hit, Xu Hei spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, and once again used Body Swap, moving five miles away, but still being thrown out, blood oozing from his body, bones breaking.

This was the result of him escaping at the first moment.

If he had been at the center of the casino, one step slower, the outcome would be unimaginable.

”Die, let them all die.”

Xu Hei didn’t dare stop, fleeing at the fastest speed, running thirty miles away, still dizzy and blood surging.

Only when he reached the city gate did the feeling disappear.

Xu Hei glanced at the detection jade plate, found it had lost its function, cursed inwardly, and quickly put it away to avoid it being shattered.

He looked back at the dazzling sky behind him, the whole city watching, faces filled with fear, as if facing the end of the world.

Xu Hei didn’t hesitate, taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, used Ever-changing Fish and Dragon, and rushed out of the city gate.

The thin divine sense membrane naturally disappeared, its owner likely dead.

Outside the inner city was the outer city, a gathering place for mortals.

Because of the protective formation, the mortals in the outer city didn’t feel the destructive power of the heavenly tribulation, only saw the light in the inner city and heard the roaring thunder, not knowing what had happened.

Everyone was curiously looking, pointing and discussing.

It was their first time seeing such an apocalyptic scene, feeling a chill in their hearts.

Xu Hei didn’t stop, fleeing at the fastest speed, not even bothering to use a puppet, moving with his true snake body.

”This has blown up big, I wonder if I’ll be wanted by the Qin Kingdom.”

Xu Hei muttered to himself, swallowing a pill to suppress his injuries, speeding away like a thunderbolt.

He didn’t want to use the Thunder Tribulation Pearl, it was purely a last resort. The other side had provoked him repeatedly, forcing him to take this desperate measure.
