The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 1285 Today's Tribulation is a Time to Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots

However, at that moment, a cold glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.

He appeared to have sheathed his sword, but when he broke through, the power of the Dao within his body had already undergone a qualitative change under the blessing of the lightning tribulation.

At this moment, the power within his body not only felt heavier and more solemn, but also possessed immense power.

The instant the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor waved his hand, two barely perceptible sword energies shot out from his fingertips, like two bolts of lightning, directly towards the purple-robed old monster and the middle-aged cultivator's brows.

These two sword energies were extremely fast, and Ye Yang had concealed all his aura, so even the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor did not notice them.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

With two soft sounds, the smiles on the faces of the purple-robed old monster and the middle-aged cultivator instantly froze.

A small blood hole appeared between their eyebrows, their eyes quickly lost their light, their bodies went limp and they were completely lifeless.

They died without understanding why Ye Yang, having promised to spare them, still killed them.

"you!"

The Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor's expression changed drastically. He turned his head sharply to look at Ye Yang, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

"Ye Yang! How dare you defy my will!"

He never expected that the young man in front of him would be so audacious.

They dared to kill him right in front of him! This was not only a provocation against him, but also a disregard for the authority of the Dao Alliance!

"Disobedience?"

Ye Yang's lips curled into a cold smile.

"The Dao Ancestor said that they should be taken back to the Dao Alliance for punishment."

“But I didn’t kill them. They died from broken heart meridians. Perhaps they were too badly injured when they fought me before and were exhausted.”

His tone was calm, showing no sign of worry.

Firstly, he knew that even if the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor saw through his trickery, he couldn't do anything to him without solid evidence.

Moreover, he had already made preparations to deal with it.

Secondly, as far as he knew, the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor was not long to live, and the Nine Heavens Sect was still in a period of transition.

He is still young, but he can foresee that after breaking through to the Tribulation Realm this time, he will dominate the landscape of the cultivation world for a long time to come.

Anyway, those people are already dead, and the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor wouldn't offend this rising star for the sake of a few dead people.

In a flash, Ye Yang understood many things.

The Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor trembled with rage, staring coldly at Ye Yang. The pressure of the tribulation lightning around him surged again, rushing towards Ye Yang like a tidal wave.

"Soliciting nonsense! Ye Yang, you are too arrogant! How dare you try to be clever in front of me, the Venerable One? Do you know your crime?"

"I originally intended to spare you this time, but you are ungrateful. Today, I will clean house for the Dao Alliance and teach you a lesson!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and slapped Ye Yang.

The palm strike howled, carrying a world-destroying force, as if it would raze the entire solitary peak to the ground.

However, just as his palm was about to fall, the sky suddenly changed color.

The thunderclouds that had previously dissipated gathered again, even more violent and terrifying than the previous tribulation thunderclouds.

Purple lightning churned in the clouds, brewing a world-destroying power.

Huge phantoms of thunder dragons weaved through the clouds, emitting deafening roars.

A powerful aura of tribulation lightning descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire solitary peak.

The Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor's expression changed drastically. He abruptly withdrew his palm and looked up at the sky.

"This is... the Nine Heavens Tribulation?!"

Ye Yang also looked up, feeling the power rising within his body.

He knew that he was finally about to complete the second half of his breakthrough in the Tribulation Realm.

The true breakthrough to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm has officially arrived at this moment!
The power of Dao within his body surged to a boiling point at this moment, resonating with the power of the lightning tribulation in the sky.

Originally on the verge of a breakthrough, this force propelled them toward a higher level.

The Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor looked at the increasingly terrifying lightning tribulation in the sky, then at Ye Yang, his expression becoming extremely complicated.

He never expected that Ye Yang would trigger the Nine Heavens Tribulation at this moment and break through again!

The Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation is the final tribulation in the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. Once overcome, one's strength will increase dramatically.

However, if one cannot overcome this obstacle, one will die and perish, with even one's soul unable to remain.

At this moment, Ye Yang was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough and could not afford to be distracted by his attack.

If he so desired, he could kill Ye Yang with a single, gentle strike during the tribulation.

But he didn't dare.

When the Nine Heavens Tribulation descends, thunderstorms rage everywhere. Especially since he is already old, if he were to forcibly attack Ye Yang, who is undergoing tribulation, he might incur the wrath of the heavens and suffer the backlash of the tribulation.

"Good! Well done, Ye Yang!"

"I am the Dao Ancestor of the Nine Heavens," he said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"I have remembered what happened today! You better pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future!"

After saying that, he gave Ye Yang a deep look, turned around and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the void.

He knew that he could no longer attack Ye Yang today, so he could only leave for the time being.

Ye Yang ignored the departing Dao Ancestor of the Nine Heavens, closed his eyes, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the breakthrough.

The lightning tribulation in the sky grew increasingly terrifying. The first enormous purple lightning dragon, carrying a world-destroying power, crashed down upon him.

"Come!"

Ye Yang looked up to the sky and roared, his voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Instead of defending himself, he actively drew upon the power of the lightning tribulation to cleanse his physical body and Dao foundation.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade hovered around him. Although they were damaged, they still exuded a sharp aura, protecting his safety.

The thunder dragon descended and collided with Ye Yang's body.

Intense pain instantly spread throughout his body; his skin was torn open, and blood flowed freely.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, circulating his Dao power to transform the power of the lightning tribulation into his own strength, constantly tempering his Dao foundation.

At the summit of the solitary peak, a thunder dragon roared, its lightning flashing for miles.

Ye Yang's figure rose and fell amidst the lightning, enduring the baptism of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation.

His aura also continued to rise and become stronger with each baptism.

On a mountain peak a hundred miles away, Gu Xuan and Yan Qingying watched this scene with excitement and awe in their eyes.

"My senior brother... he's finally going to succeed."

Gu Xuan nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Master Ye is exceptionally talented. He survived this life-or-death ordeal, but instead of perishing, he turned misfortune into blessing, triggering the Nine Heavens Tribulation and breaking through. His future achievements will be limitless!"

The two stared intently at the figure in the sea of ​​lightning, constantly tempering itself amidst the lightning, their hearts filled with anticipation.

The moment the ninth lightning tribulation descended, the light in the world suddenly dimmed. Only the purple lightning dragon that pierced the sky, carrying unparalleled power, crashed down towards Ye Yang atop the solitary peak.

This lightning tribulation seems to have reached the limit of this world.

The Thunder Dragon was wrapped in strands of golden law threads, which were the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth.

Every scale gleamed with a chilling light that could destroy everything.

Ye Yang roared to the sky, his voice breaking through the clouds and colliding with the thunder dragon's roar, stirring up ripples all over the sky.

He had long since disregarded life and death.

The power of the lightning tribulation within his body completely merged with the wishes of all living beings, transforming into a surging torrent that circulated wildly through his meridians.

He no longer deliberately guided him.

He allowed this power to flow through his physical body, Dao foundation, and divine soul, actively meeting the destructive thunder dragon.

"Boom!"

The bodies of Lei Long and Ye Yang collided with a deafening roar, but there was no earth-shattering explosion; only a deathly purple light spread out.

The mountain peak atop the solitary peak instantly turned to dust, and the land within a radius of a hundred miles collapsed, forming a bottomless crater.

The lingering power of the lightning tribulation still remained on the pit walls, crackling and hissing.

Ye Yang's figure was completely swallowed by the purple lightning, making it impossible to see his exact appearance. Only a vague outline could be seen floating in the lightning.

His Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and Evil King Blade had already dimmed and lost their luster under this terrifying lightning tribulation.

However, under Ye Yang's control, it remained firmly suspended beside him, using its last bit of strength to resist the erosion of the lightning tribulation.

The pain was far more intense than any baptism before.

Ye Yang's bones were on the verge of cracking, his skin had been torn into countless pieces, and blood mixed with lightning flowed down, dripping onto the ground with a hissing sound.

But his Dao heart remained as firm as a rock, completely unaffected by the violent power of the lightning tribulation.

He could clearly feel the impurities in his body being gradually stripped away.

At the same time, it was constantly tempering his soul, making his senses increasingly acute.

In a daze, he seemed to recall the ants he had seen in the Longevity Barrier when he first began cultivating. They were rushing to their deaths in order to become dragons.

The ants wanted to change their fate of being trampled to death. One day, a storm arose, and they transformed into dragons, accompanied by wind and rain. With their great power, they were able to enter and leave the azure sky.

Perhaps only one ant will transform into a dragon over countless years, but when it breathes the first breath of wind in the sky and touches the first wisp of cloud in the sky...

They have already succeeded!

This is the courage and strength to live in the face of death and transcend oneself; it is also the struggle of all living beings under the heavens against fate.

"The path to immortality is arduous, but we forge ahead relentlessly, even unto death, we will have no regrets."

"Where my path lies, though there be thousands or millions, I will go."

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and each breath felt like it spanned thousands of years.

Ye Yang's consciousness was completely immersed in the enlightenment of the breakthrough, and he could clearly perceive the flow of the laws between heaven and earth.

Those rules that were originally obscure and difficult to understand now became crystal clear in his eyes.

"Give it to me!"

Ye Yang roared inwardly, and the power within his body instantly surged forth.

Guided by him, the purple lightning began to flow slowly along his meridians, repairing each damaged area it passed through and making the body in that area more resilient.

Under the tempering of lightning, his Dao foundation gradually became crystal clear, like the purest jade, radiating a faint golden light.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade, which were hovering beside him, suddenly emitted a loud hum.

The cracks on the two artifacts continued to widen, and their originally dim light was completely extinguished.

"Crack! Click!"

With two crisp sounds, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade, which had accompanied Ye Yang in countless battles, ultimately could not withstand the power of the ninth lightning tribulation.

Then it shattered completely into countless fragments, scattered among the lightning, and was gradually annihilated by the purple lightning tribulation power.

Ye Yang felt a slight pang in his heart. These two weapons had been with him for many years, witnessing his journey from obscurity to becoming a powerful figure. They were like his own brothers.

But he also understood that weapons have their limits.

These two weapons have already reached their limit in accompanying him this far.

He suppressed his sadness and focused all his energy on breaking through to the next level.

Finally, just as the energy of the ninth tribulation lightning was about to be exhausted.

Ye Yang's primordial spirit power was completely stabilized, his divine soul power increased more than tenfold, and his aura began to rise wildly.

The purple lightning that had been swirling around him slowly faded away, revealing his completely transformed figure.

The ominous clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the summit of the solitary peak.

At the same time, a faint light began to circulate between heaven and earth.

Golden, purple, and cyan lights intertwined, forming a dazzling band of light.
These lights of the laws continuously flowed into his body, making his connection with heaven and earth even closer.

It was as if he himself was a part of the universe, and that every move he made could draw upon the power of the universe.

"Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, achieved!"

Ye Yang spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it contained boundless authority.

As he finished speaking, his aura exploded completely.

An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, swept out like a tidal wave, covering an area of ​​a thousand miles in radius.

The lingering power of the lightning tribulation in the giant crater below was instantly crushed by this oppressive force.

The surrounding space distorted slightly, as if it could not withstand this terrifying aura.

Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, instantly piercing through layers of space and locking onto a valley a hundred miles away.

Under Ye Yang's watchful gaze, the valley was blasted apart by countless bolts of lightning.

Bang!
It turned into countless dust.

Meanwhile, inside the Flying Gate.

Inside the council hall, the core elders of the Flying Heaven Sect were intently watching the water mirror in the center of the hall.

Within the water mirror was Ye Yang, his entire body bathed in lightning.

When Ye Yang saw the ninth lightning tribulation descend and be swallowed by the lightning,

Everyone held their breath in tension, their palms sweating profusely.

"master……"

Huo Bing Shuang's voice was choked with emotion, her hands were clenched tightly together, and her eyes were full of worry.
