Born with immortal seed

Chapter 347 Five Elements Purple Lightning Calamity

"Indeed, in terms of its exquisite craftsmanship, it surpasses even the Primordial Yang Divine Thunder..."

After reviewing the ancient silk book, Master Ge Cang gave it high praise.

The Primordial Yang Divine Thunder is quite ordinary among third-order thunder techniques. The reason it can display such power is entirely due to the fact that True Person Ge Cang has cultivated it to the highest level of divine thunder, evolving it into the Qian Tian Primordial Yang Divine Thunder Net, which is why it has reached the fourth-order level.

The Xuanming One Qi Formless Divine Thunder doesn't even need to push its thunder technique to the highest level; its power is already comparable to the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder Net.

It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

"Such thunder techniques would be among the seventeen supreme thunder techniques of the Five Thunder Sect... You, my disciple, are truly fortunate."

Master Ge Cang tossed out three jade slips, his expression pleased.

"Besides the cultivation method of the Primordial Yang Divine Thunder, this also contains my complete understanding of this thunder technique... With such a talent, even if we fail this time, we don't need to worry about no one being able to pass on the thunder technique."

"Senior brother, why say such things? I'm still waiting for you to reach the Nascent Soul stage so you can pass on your experience in transcending tribulations to me."

After receiving the message on his identity token, Bai Zichen deliberately mentioned to several elders on Thunder Cliff that he was going to ask for the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder Net for Li Guizhen.

Try to make the sect's spies believe that the two Core Formation Ancestors are still inside the mountain gate.

"Haha, if Junior Brother Bai has such confidence, how could I not go all out? I'm just glad you have such a good disciple!"

Master Ge Cang laughed loudly and walked towards the summit of Flaming Mountain, the original habitat of the Azure Phoenix.

"Junior Brother Bai, please protect me for now. After we have survived the Heavenly Tribulation, we will drink a celebratory wine together."

Zhou Suqing's formation deployment efficiency was quite fast. She improved the Dutian Blazing Fire Formation, reforged the formation plate, and arranged the formation.

All of it took only a little over thirty days.

Beneath the Flaming Mountain, a third-order grand formation had been erected, its thick crimson light and flames keeping all kinds of demonic beasts outside the mountain.

With the death of Qingluan, the aura of a fourth-tier great demon has faded, and demonic beasts have begun to appear near Flame Mountain.

The allure of fourth-tier spiritual veins is not only for human cultivators, but also crucial for demonic beasts.

With the blessing of the spiritual veins, it is equivalent to the activation of a top-grade third-tier array, unless that fourth-tier white ape returns to Black Mountain.

Otherwise, no matter how many other demonic beasts come, they won't be able to shake the Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation.

Besides the grand formation, Zhou Suqing, a third-tier formation master, was also in charge of it, while Bai Zichen protected her with his sword.

Such speed was so great that even Wei Dao didn't have time to notify him.

It wasn't that they were afraid Wei Dao had a problem, but rather that they were afraid he would show any unusual behavior while worrying about Ge Cang Zhenren's tribulation, which would allow the sect's spies to deduce something.

Master Ge Cang sat down with a wave of his sleeve, placed his staff aside, and looked calm.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky, which had been covered in red clouds, darkened, black clouds covered the ground, and a demonic sound pierced the ears.

"Junior Sister Zhou, if you can't withstand it, retreat into the core of the formation..."

Bai Zichen glanced at Zhou Suqing, whose face was pale and whose eyes were bloodshot, and offered a word of advice.

Witnessing the entire process of someone else's elixir breaking and transforming into an infant at close range is undoubtedly of great benefit.

This is far more direct than oral or written transmission, and the insights gained are incomparable.

Even among the Nascent Soul sects, the Nascent Soul Transformation Tribulation is a once-in-a-century event, and only the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters are qualified to observe such occasions.

It was merely an aftereffect; the external demons weren't targeting Bai Zichen. With Yuexuan in his hand and his sword heart clear, he couldn't possibly be affected.

The demonic sound swept past, but my heart remained as clear as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.

When heard, it's like a few harsh noises, not worth mentioning.

But Zhou Suqing obviously couldn't do it so easily. Affected by the demonic sound, her inner demons arose, and she could only retreat again and again.

Only after retreating to the core of the formation was he able to use the formation's power to isolate himself from the demonic sounds and calm his mind.

"That's terrifying. I wonder what kind of inner demons Senior Brother Ge, who's right in the middle, is facing..."

Zhou Suqing was still shaken. She summoned a silver banner, and the yin and yang silver light shone on her body, which calmed her down considerably.

As it turns out, even without a secret treasure to suppress inner demons, the inner demon tribulation was not a problem for Master Ge Cang.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the tribulation of inner demons was over.

Calamity clouds gathered, and an aura of destruction descended upon the Flaming Mountain.

A gust of wind blew, and the volcano, which had been churning with lava, instantly went out and fell silent.

Purple rays of light shone through the tribulation clouds, appearing as tiny specks that gradually evolved from negligible scattered points into a cloud that filled the entire area.

The entire cloud of tribulation was expanding and contracting violently, and it took shape in a short time, directly reaching the top of Ge Cang Zhenren's head.

The first bolt of pale purple lightning struck down like a curtain being drawn, the lightning splitting into five bolts of light as it fell, instantly doubling its power.

Master Ge Cang's expression was stern. He reached out and stroked his hand, and a row of jade artifacts appeared in front of him.

Jade pendants, jade pieces, jade rings, jade ornaments, jade plates... a total of twelve magical treasures, all connected as a set.

Although they are all low-grade magic treasures, they should not be underestimated.

The jade artifacts and magical treasures echoed each other, rushing towards the five-part pale purple lightning, instantly destroying most of it.

Until the last piece of jade was shattered by the heavenly lightning, the first bolt of lightning finally lost much of its power and was dispersed by him waving his giant hand.

Upon receiving the first bolt of lightning, Master Ge Cang's expression turned extremely ugly.

Using magical artifacts to clash with heavenly lightning and conserve one's own true essence is a common tactic used by Core Formation cultivators when undergoing tribulation.

However, the entire set of jade artifacts and magical treasures were completely destroyed by the first bolt of lightning, and it was even necessary to personally take action to defeat the lightning, which greatly exceeded expectations.

"The Five Elements Purple Lightning Calamity, how could I be so unlucky..."

Bai Zichen was shocked, because the tribulation clouds that appeared in the sky and the light purple lightning that crashed down indicated the origin of this heavenly tribulation.

Among the dozens of heavenly tribulations recorded in the cultivation world, the Five Elements Purple Lightning Tribulation is definitely among the top five in terms of power.

If a Core Formation cultivator encounters such a heavenly tribulation, they will almost certainly die.

The difficulty of the Five Elements Purple Lightning Calamity lies in the fact that each bolt of heavenly lightning will evolve into Yin and Yang, and divide into the Five Elements.

It was already more powerful than other heavenly tribulations, and with this change, the difficulty of transcending the tribulation increased exponentially.

The second bolt of lightning, the third bolt of lightning...

The number of magical treasures on Ge Cang Zhenren's body decreased rapidly. As a cultivator with amazing supernatural powers, he did not rely on magical treasures.

It was precisely for this tribulation that a large number of magical treasures were prepared and refined to resist the heavenly lightning.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Five Elements Purple Lightning Calamity, and the magic weapon was clearly being worn out much faster than planned.

By the fifth lightning strike, he already needed to personally take to the field.

The purple color of this lightning bolt was much deeper than the first one, appearing as an eerie, rich purple.

Master Ge Cang took a deep breath, filled his body with lightning, and opened his arms, preparing to directly receive the heavenly lightning.

Such actions are extremely dangerous, tantamount to placing a bolt of lightning in front of oneself without any precautions.

If the Thunder Pool exceeds its limit, or if one's own Great Dao True Meaning cannot control the Roaring Heavenly Thunder, the power of the Heavenly Thunder erupting at such a distance can kill not only a Perfected Core Formation True Person, but even a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother Ge's Glazed Fire God Body was destroyed, otherwise he could at least withstand one or two bolts of lightning with his physical body..."

Bai Zichen watched anxiously, while also pondering how he would deal with the Five Elements Purple Lightning Tribulation if he were also unlucky and encountered it.

“My advantage over Senior Brother Ge is that I have a fourth-tier flying sword... The Moon Spinning Sword is not as fragile as a magic weapon; it can at least withstand two rounds of heavenly lightning before returning to the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box.”

Moreover, he still has a trump card when things really come to a dead end.

At worst, we can stop hiding the sword, summon the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword, and then resist the heavenly lightning.

This sword appears to be a third-tier flying sword, but its true grade is at least fifth-tier, making it impossible for it to be as fragile as an ordinary flying sword.

Perhaps using it to resist heavenly lightning would perfectly match the attributes of the Ziwei Thunder Sword, allowing it to unleash even more power from the flying sword.

Just as Bai Zichen was pondering how to cope with the tribulation, two bolts of lightning suddenly struck down from the Thunder Pool manifested by Ge Cang Zhenren.

Each time it was teetering on the brink of collapse, as if it could be blown apart by lightning at any moment, but it persevered.

But clearly, it has reached its limit.

Before the seventh bolt of lightning struck, Master Ge Cang dispersed the lightning pool, injecting all the raging lightning into the ground.

Only someone with an extremely high level of mastery over thunder magic, possessing divine power and the ability to control it freely, could achieve this.

Even if other Core Formation cultivators were to come, and possess the same strength, they simply wouldn't be able to do this without a deep understanding of the Dao of Lightning.

"When the wood reaches the sky, it grows into a beam!"

Seeing the dark purple lightning with black light crashing down, Ge Cang Zhenren did not hesitate and directly transformed into the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Countless branches grew rapidly, forming a huge canopy that withstood the heavenly lightning.

Click!

The divine tree was split in two, one half turning to charred black and crumbling into dust in the wind.

The other half burst into flames, the fire shooting straight into the sky.

Ge Cang Zhenren exited the divine tree state, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.

If not for the body of a wood elemental being, its defensive capabilities and life force recovery would be comparable to those of a spirit treasure.

If it weren't for his understanding of the true meaning of thunder, which is no less than that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

This lightning bolt was powerful enough to blast the divine tree into dust, giving it no chance to recover.

"This is exhilarating! Truly exhilarating! This is what divine thunder should be called!"

Ge Cang Zhenren, who had fallen to the ground, summoned the Thunder Pearl and flung it forcefully into the distance.

The eighth bolt of lightning struck first, landing simultaneously with the Heavenly Thunder God Pearl.

After a loud bang, the thunder pearl and the heavenly lightning disappeared at the same time, leaving only a crater tens of feet deep in the ground.

The clouds overhead churned, and the last bolt of purple lightning resembled a real dragon, bringing with it countless bolts of lightning that eclipsed the bright sunlight from the clear sky.

Master Ge Cang pulled out his staff and spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto it. Tender buds and new branches sprouted from the lightning-struck wood, which had been refined into his natal magic weapon.

Life is born from destruction; the Yin and Yang thunders flowed in harmony, and the lightning-struck wooden staff met the ninth bolt of lightning.

boom!
It was as if mountains had collapsed and the earth had caved in, and the sky had cracked open; all that could be seen was lightning and thunder, with no other colors in sight.

Bai Zichen used the Moon Whirlwind Sword to block in front of him, but was still pushed dozens of feet away by the force of the aftershock.

As the smoke cleared, Master Ge Cang's hands were empty; his natal magic weapon had been completely destroyed, and his Taoist robe was tattered.

But his eyes had never been so bright as they were at this moment.
