Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1444 "Thunder Tribulation?" (Bonus Chapter 1 for the former July Alliance Leader)

The gloomy weather made it seem as if a torrential downpour was about to pour down, and a large number of corpses were left in the vast desert.

The strong stench of blood made a cultivator stop in his tracks.

His body trembled, and his face showed pain.

"It's time to go, patriarch!" A voice came from behind, and a handsome face appeared, revealing a young man in his early twenties.

However, the boy was also covered in blood, and his Taoist robe was torn into countless strips.

He was riding a mammoth, but the mammoth was also seriously injured.

"Ye Jinghu has gone mad, Patriarch! Ancestor Jingcheng failed to break through. Instead of defending the clan in the Central Region, he returned to the Sand Sea to seize territory from us and even let the wolf into the house. He is a sinner of the entire Ye family!" Voices came from behind.

This made the trembling figure realize somewhat belatedly that he was Ye Qingnian, the current head of the Ye family!

He could barely protect the Ye family anymore, and he couldn't protect the Beast Tower or anything his father had left behind!
The next moment, before they could even retreat, they saw more cultivators chasing after them from afar.

They rode the Thunder Roc and the Three-Eyed Demon Roc, each with terrifying speed.

"They're coming!" a cultivator shouted from behind.

Everyone took out their magical artifacts and sharp swords.

But the next moment, he shook his head.

"The tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage is nothing more than this. My family is not perfect; it has too many injustices. But my family shares a common spirit!"

“The Jing generation has the fourth and ninth brothers, the Qing generation has Qingnian, Qingfu, and Qingquan, the Yun generation has Yunhe and Yunxuan…” he began, uttering each word clearly.

Everything in front of them suddenly began to dissipate like smoke.

Thanks to the training he received back then, he got to know many people in the family.

There are clansmen who earnestly seek guidance, visiting the Treasure Pavilion two or three times a day just to grow faster and help their family; there are also clansmen who are meticulous and immerse themselves in alchemy all day long, just to help their family cultivators achieve higher levels of cultivation; and there are even clansmen who fight on the frontiers, disregarding danger, just to ensure the safety of their family members...

This is what he saw; what he didn't see, and the individual memorial tablets arranged on them...

The Ye family has produced too many heroes, and too many clansmen who need to be remembered.

Even if such a family has disagreements, it would never end up like this.

……

Blue skies and white clouds fill the sky, and the forests stretch for miles.

Inside the cave, countless mortals hid, not daring to breathe, their faces filled with terror.

Ye Jingcheng also woke up, only to find that he had become an old man.

He tried to move his hands, but it seemed so slow and heavy.

"Grandpa, will those immortals find us?" A child with big, aggrieved eyes asked from the side.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged woman next to him covered his mouth.

The immortals have incredibly keen hearing; there have been few instances in recent years of entire neighboring villages turning into ghost villages.

Not only did the child's mother cover his mouth, but everyone else glared at him frantically, as if he had committed some unforgivable crime.

This almost made the child cry.

The next moment, spikes of earth emerged from the ground, instantly killing several tribesmen.

Thick, scalding blood splattered out, causing the others to lose their temper and scream in terror.

They rushed out of the cave like madmen.

Even Ye Jingcheng rushed out, but he was very slow.

As they rushed out, more and more figures fell.

When they emerged from the cave, a cultivator dressed in the robes of the Qinghe Sect was staring at them with a ferocious expression.

"Keep hiding! Keep quiet!"

"You damned ants!"

……

The massacre continues, and the insults never cease.

The old man was initially terrified, but as a chill ran through him, he stopped.

He stared at the monk, his eyes filled with rage.

Even though he knew it was an illusion, his chest was filled with rage.

He knew that this illusion was created by mortals left behind in the Eastern Region.

With so many ordinary people back then, even if they made preparations in advance, how could they possibly migrate over?

Of course, there are still some. "What harm is there in killing them? Wait until I return from my cultivation. If you kill one member of my clan, I will kill a hundred or a thousand members of your clan and sect!"

After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, he took another sip:
"Let me go!"

As soon as he drank it, the scene before him indeed vanished like a mirror.

The scene that reappeared was clearly a desert landscape.

Rolling thunderclouds filled the sky, an endless, oppressive pressure.

All of this demonstrates that he has emerged from the tribulation of his inner demons.

"A tribulation of lightning?" Ye Jingcheng's heart grew even more solemn.

The power of this lightning tribulation is far greater than that of the Nascent Soul lightning tribulation.

Furthermore, five-colored thunderclouds appeared.

He looked around at his tribesmen, who were all staring at him with solemn expressions, as if they were equally worried about his situation.

Ye Jingcheng sensed the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then waved his hand, and dozens of array flags flew up, transforming into a tribulation-crossing array.

This formation was obtained by the Ye family from the Righteous Path Sect and is called the Six-Five Thunderfall Formation.

The entire formation, along with its six bases, is a lightning-attracting formation.

This can redirect the lightning tribulation, preventing cultivators from bearing more of the burden.

"Boom!" However, before Ye Jingcheng could prepare much,

The lightning tribulation came very quickly.

Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback.

He quickly activated the formation, and at the same time, he took out the Spirit Treasure Holy Spirit Pagoda.

The enormous Bifang divine bird and the ancient golden crow charged together toward the terrifying lightning tribulation.

However, this tribulation was far too terrifying, not only shattering the two divine birds but also blasting the entire Holy Spirit Tower away.

The Six-Beat Thunder Array was destroyed in an instant.

The remaining lightning struck Ye Jingcheng, causing him an unprecedented pain.

"This lightning tribulation..." Ye Jingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

This lightning tribulation is far too terrifying.

Keep in mind that this is the first step in the first wave.

As expected, without pause, three more lightning bolts struck down, forcing Ye Jingcheng to activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to block them.

Even so, despite his best efforts, he was shocked to find that he couldn't even withstand a single wave of lightning tribulation.

"Are we going to fail?" Ye Jingcheng looked around and saw that everyone was worried and felt a sense of guilt.

He knew he had failed, and what kind of situation the rest of the Ye family would face.

Even the scenes from the first illusion may appear.

At this moment, his body was completely charred, his Taoist robe was tattered, and his whole body was trembling.

At that very moment, he saw a piece of apricot jade.

And a chill ran through his mind.

"Is this an illusion created by the inner demon tribulation?" Ye Jingcheng murmured, then looked up at the sky.

"We almost fell for their trick! Let's disperse!" Ye Jingcheng shouted, using all his remaining strength.

Sure enough, the thunderclouds began to dissipate.

Then, Ye Jingcheng fell into several illusions: the illusion of his previous life on Earth, the illusion of the betrayal by the righteous sects, and the illusion of Penglai's large-scale attack.

He became somewhat numb to it all.

"Jingcheng, be careful!" After the illusion ended and he returned to the desert, Ye Jingcheng heard the anxious voices of Chu Yanqing and the Ye family members.

At this moment, their faces showed great anxiety. Numerous formations covered the sea of ​​sand, and countless clansmen were in the distance resisting the spirit beasts that had been attracted.

At this moment, he finally understood that this was not an illusion.

The inner demon tribulation is over.

He looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the thunderclouds were about to begin preparing for the first tribulation of lightning.

And he just happened to be there!
