"This calamity is almost a divine punishment."

"It certainly won't be that easy to proceed. If the purple lightning plasma overflows from the Xuanhuang Cauldron, who knows what kind of unforeseen events will occur?"

"If the Earth Extreme Thick Earth Formation is breached by the tribulation lightning, with Gu Qing's current strength, it would be impossible for him to survive a tribulation of this level."

"When Dan dies, so does the man."

The pitch-black vortex at the center of the Xuanhuang Cauldron accelerated its rotation, tempering the Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning and transforming the purple plasma into Purple Lightning Spirit Liquid.

Feng Qiwu looked up at the second bolt of purple lightning that was forming in the sky, his expression solemn.

Beside Feng Qiwu, Elder Qingluan and Elder Yuzhuo also stared nervously at Gu Qing inside the formation.

That sea of ​​thunder in the sky is the wrath of heaven.

Even those at the Purple Mansion Realm felt troubled by such terrifying tribulation lightning.

"Palace Master, should we make a move?"

Elder Qingluan inquired.

"Don't disturb Gu Qing's alchemy."

"However... we must be prepared for the worst. Elder Yuzhuo, go back to Qifeng Wutong and activate the protective array. If the tribulation lightning goes out of control later, we must make sure it doesn't affect Qifeng Wutong."

Looking at the ever-increasing Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning in the sky, Feng Qiwu gave the order.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the Palace Master's order, Elder Yuzhuo transformed into a streak of purple light and disappeared into the circular valley.

"Elder Qingluan, if the alchemy fails later, we must do everything we can to save Gu Qing."

"This child's potential is unfathomable. If our clan befriends him, we will surely gain the friendship of a top-tier powerhouse in the future..."

"Understood."

Upon hearing Feng Qiwu's words, Qingluan had already come to her senses.

We must protect Gu Qing no matter what.

Two powerful experts at the Purple Mansion Realm continued to protect Gu Qing from a distance, their spiritual energy surging, ready to fight against the terrifying tribulation lightning in the sky and find a glimmer of hope for Gu Qing.

As the two were talking, the sea of ​​thunder in the sky above grew brighter and brighter. From Phoenix City, a hundred miles away, it looked as if two suns had appeared in the sky.

On the other hand, Gu Qing, who was directly below the lightning tribulation, faced even greater pressure.

Looking at the sky, which had almost turned into a purple sea of ​​lightning, Gu Qing felt as if the sky and sea were reversed, and the terrifying sea of ​​lightning could collapse at any moment. The powerful pressure made Gu Qing feel terrified.

"Sizzle!"

Within the vortex of thunder, terrifying purple lightning spun at high speed, transforming into a purple lightning spear that shot out from the eye of the purple thunder sea, emitting a blinding purple light that caused all living beings within a hundred miles to squint.

Gu Qing stood in the center of the Earth Extreme Thick Earth Formation. He looked up, not daring to be distracted for a moment, and endured the discomfort in his eyes as he watched the rapidly spinning Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder Spear approach.

sizzle...

The rapidly spinning Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder Spear not only nearly blinded him, but also strained the space itself, emitting a sharp cutting sound, giving the feeling that the heavens and earth had been cleaved in two by the Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder.

"Can the lightning derived from the Tribulation of Pill Lightning also change its form?"

"Is this reasonable?!"

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the abnormality of the Dan Lei Tribulation.

First, there's the liquid pill refined in Gu Qingdan's furnace, which is an improved version of the Heart of the Plane potion. The function of this pill is to merge with the Dao, embedding oneself into the evolution of the plane's heaven and earth.

If we consider the universe as individual lives, this act is no less than entering someone else's body to explore the profound question of the origin of life.

Since Gu Qing's creations are pills used to invade the will of a plane, can we blame the tribulation lightning for being abnormal?

We can't just let the will of the plane lie there and watch Gu Qing feed it medicine, can we?

This behavior is even more outrageous than feeding medicine to Dalang.

The fact that the will of the plane of existence did not directly destroy Gu Qing is already considered kind.

of course.

Calling it kindness is not quite right either.

The will of a plane is not the will of an individual; it is neither good nor evil.

He will only ruthlessly suppress individual lives when they begin to threaten the heavens and earth.

"Boom!"

The spinning Purple Thunder Spear transformed into a streak of purple light and plummeted down. As it approached the Xuanhuang Cauldron, its speed suddenly slowed down, as if it were sinking into a swamp.

When gravity evolves to its extreme, matter collapses, and even lightning bolts are distorted in the gravitational field.

Immediately, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder Spear, with a deafening roar, transformed into a massive thunder spear spanning the heavens and earth, and forcefully pierced into the Xuanhuang Giant Cauldron standing on the earth, with the spearhead resting above the pitch-black vortex in the center of the cauldron.

Seeing the fierce lightning strikes, Gu Qing's expression became increasingly solemn.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

The three shadow clones controlling the Earth's Thick Soil Array unleashed a series of spells.

"Earth Vein Spirit".

"The Twelve Earthly Branches".

The three fruit-shaped clones shouted in unison.

next moment.

The earth's energy surged and trembled within a radius of a hundred miles. Centered on Gu Qing's body, emerald green pillars of light simultaneously shone in the twelve earthly branches. Wherever the green light swept, the vegetation was instantly drained of a large amount of Yi wood essence.

These essences of the Wood element flowed back to the location of the emerald green pillar of light, converging into Gu Qing's twelve avatars.

Echoing the three clones in the center of the formation, each clone corresponds to one of the twelve earthly branches and grows countless roots from its feet into the earth veins and merges into the earth vein nodes.

These twelve fruit shadow clones actively incorporated a portion of Gu Qing's expression and spiritual power into the earth's veins, permanently becoming a part of them.

"To offer oneself as a sacrifice!"

"The Twelve Earthly Branches".

The primordial energy surged from the deeper underground, causing the area controlled by the Earth Extreme Thick Soil Array to expand once again.

The Xuanhuang Cauldron also grew larger and stronger.

"Thunder Devourer"

With a loud shout, Gu Qing caused the black vortex in the Xuanhuang cauldron to collapse towards the center once more. Even the space itself could not withstand the massive amount of Xuanhuang earth energy collapsing and condensing into a gravity core.

The black vortex tore at the Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder Spear, twisting it until its tip was snapped off by the powerful gravity core.

Thunderbolts shatter the spear!

Gu Qing took a deep breath, gathered his strength to control the great formation, and then fully cooperated with his clone to deal with the latter half of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder Spear.

Even though the Thunder Spear is broken, it is still a terrifying pillar of lightning with a diameter of twenty miles.

"Heavenly Thunder".

"Again!!"

Gu Qing's main body, together with Guo Ying's clone, manipulated the earth's dragon veins to fight against the heavenly tribulation. The lightning was indestructible, and the thick earth bore all things. This was a clash between heaven and earth.

Inside Phoenix City, to the astonishment of countless cultivators, Gu Qing's Xuanhuang Cauldron actually completely refined the second Purple Extreme Heavenly Thunder Spear into the cauldron, transforming it into a cauldron of lightning plasma.

Countless people were dumbfounded, and even many Golden Core Realm cultivators were speechless at the sight.

To single-handedly control a massive array spanning hundreds of miles to resist such heaven-sent tribulation lightning—this defying the heavens is something countless cultivators dream of.

We cultivators should be like this, facing the might of Heaven directly, and cultivating to achieve the Dao fruit.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After being devoured by Gu Qing's two Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning bolts, the tribulation lightning in the sky seemed to become even more furious. The thunderclouds, which were originally only seven or eight miles thick, suddenly increased to more than ten miles thick as countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth gathered.

The thunder it breeds is becoming increasingly terrifying.

Looking at the churning thunderclouds in the sky, a hint of madness flashed deep in Gu Qing's eyes. What cultivator in the Immortal Kingdom isn't mad? After being refined through three mercenary trials in the Immortal Kingdom, Gu Qing also showed signs of evolving into a madman.

"Heavenly Thunder".

"I need your help to refine pills!"

Gu Qing, standing directly beneath the tribulation lightning, threw his head back and laughed wildly.

Its body was filled with spiritual energy, and the primordial earth energy transformed into a layer of energy.

Integrate some of your divine thoughts and spiritual power into the earth's veins.

At this moment, Gu Qing felt that his body was terrifyingly hard, as if it could pierce through the sky...
