The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

"The tribulations must be performed separately to avoid the combined power of the lightning tribulations."

"Mengmeng, you go first!"

Li Mengmeng felt nervous, but her gaze was unusually firm:

"Yes, Master!"

Luo Tian raised his hand and pointed to a mountain peak to the south:

"Go there! With your aptitude, you can only face the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, which consist of nine heavenly lightning strikes."

As your teacher, I hope you can persevere on your own! I'll lend you the Xuanyuan Sword!

Li Mengmeng reached out and took the Xuanyuan Sword, took a deep breath, stepped into the air, and landed on the summit of the South Peak.

Ye Qianxue and Xiao Niannian retreated to a distance, their eyes fixed on Li Mengmeng.

Luo Tian hovered a thousand feet away, his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on that slightly slender figure.

The small golden disc rested on his shoulder, and his dragon whiskers trembled slightly.

"Master, do you think Mengmeng can survive the heavenly tribulation?"

"As my disciple, if you cannot even overcome the most ordinary Heavenly Tribulation, then you are not worthy to follow me!"

Luo Tian's expression was cold, and his words were somewhat inhumane.

At the summit of South Peak, Li Mengmeng held the Xuanyuan Sword in both hands, its tip pointing to the sky.

Above her head, dark clouds began to gather, and white lightning bolts streaked through the clouds, emitting a low rumble.

The overwhelming pressure of the Heavenly Dao made her breathing rapid.

"A Nine-Thunder Tribulation, huh? Let's see how powerful you really are!"

She murmured to herself, recalling Luo Tian's instructions.

She calmed her mind, and the Xuanyuan Sword emitted a faint golden light.

"Boom!"

The first bolt of lightning condensed and took shape in the dark clouds, then struck down with a deafening roar.

Lightning strikes like pythons or snakes, moving so fast that they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Li Mengmeng raised her sword to meet the attack, unleashing her Flowing Water Sword Technique.

"The First Form of the Flowing Water Sword Technique: One Wave!"

The sword light intertwined to form a wave of sword light, which collided with the lightning.

"Bang!"

The lightning shattered, and the sword light dissipated.

Li Mengmeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had easily blocked the first tribulation.

"boom!"

The second bolt of lightning followed closely behind, and it was a size thicker than the first.

She took a deep breath and drew her sword again:

"The second move of the Flowing Water Sword Technique: Double Waves!"

The sword waves overlapped, their power multiplied, and the lightning shattered once more.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth... each one stronger and faster than the last.

Li Mengmeng's Flowing Water Sword Technique can be executed from one wave to six waves, with each wave being double the size of the previous one.

When the six waves were unleashed, the sword light surged like a real river, clashing briefly with the sixth bolt of lightning before finally perishing together.

Li Mengmeng knelt on one knee, panting heavily, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Li Mengmeng was injured in the collision.

His clothes were scorched by the aftershocks of the lightning, and his hair was disheveled.

But she gritted her teeth, stood up, and looked up at the sky.

The seventh bolt of lightning was gathering. Waves of oppressive power descended from the sky.

The lightning in the clouds grew denser, and the thunder grew deeper.

The heavenly tribulation seemed to be gathering power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the one undergoing it.

"There are three more..."

Li Mengmeng gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, her fingers trembling.

It wasn't out of fear, but because she was almost exhausted.

Her spiritual power was mostly depleted, and she had multiple injuries.

"Seven Waves of Flowing Water Sword Technique!"

She unleashed a powerful strike, her sword light surging like a raging storm, meeting the seventh bolt of heavenly lightning.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Li Mengmeng was thrown back by the recoil and crashed into a boulder behind her, which shattered into pieces.

She knelt on one knee, the Xuanyuan Sword planted beside her for support, blood gushing from the corner of her mouth.

"I...can't give up!"

She muttered to herself and struggled to her feet.

"My master said that cultivating immortality requires unwavering perseverance and indomitable courage, so..."

"Boom!"

Before she could finish speaking, the eighth bolt of lightning struck.

Without a second thought, she raised her sword to meet the attack.

"Eight Waves!"

The sword light erupted again, but its power was far less than before.

Lightning shattered the sword light and struck her shoulder.

"what!"

With a scream, she flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Her body was charred black, and her left shoulder was a bloody mess.

She lay motionless on the ground.

"Cute Sister!"

When Xiao Niannian saw her miserable appearance, tears streamed down her face, and she burst into tears.

Ye Qianxue looked sad and gently took Xiao Niannian's hand.

Luo Tian, ​​who had raised his hand in the distance, slowly lowered it again.

Little Jin frantically circled on my shoulder: "Master! Mengmeng, she..."

"I can't help her; she has to rely on herself!"

Luo Tian's voice was a little hoarse.

Li Mengmeng twitched her fingers, then used her palms to support herself on the ground, slowly raising her body.

Blood streamed down her forehead, obscuring her eyes. She wiped it away casually and looked up at the sky.

The ninth bolt of lightning is slowly gathering.

This is the final bolt of heavenly lightning. If you pass it, you will ascend to heaven in one step; if you fail, your soul and spirit will be completely destroyed!

This one is thicker than the previous eight combined, and its color has changed from white to purple.

Lightning churned in the clouds, producing a deafening roar.

"Finally, it's the last one... I must persevere... I won't let my master and family down!"

Li Mengmeng picked up the Xuanyuan Sword and gripped it tightly with both hands.

Her spiritual energy was almost depleted, and her body had reached its limit.

"My master said that a firm belief in the Dao is more important than aptitude."

She closed her eyes, and the final move of the Flowing Water Sword Technique—Nine Waves—appeared in her mind.

The nine layers of sword energy combined make it several times more powerful than before.

However, she hasn't grasped the essence yet.

"I must...keep going!"

She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze devoid of fear, filled only with resolve.

The Xuanyuan Sword was raised high, its golden light shining brightly, and its blade humming.

"Flowing Water Sword Technique - Nine Layers of Waves!"

Nine layers of sword energy erupted simultaneously in an instant, transforming into a monstrous wave that surged into the sky.

Wherever the sword light passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The final bolt of lightning transformed into a streak of light and fell, as the sword wave collided with the thunder dragon once more.

"boom!!!"

A loud bang shook the entire mountain.

The blinding light illuminated the night sky, and the shockwave spread in all directions, sending debris flying and trees snapping in half.

Li Mengmeng was thrown into the air by the shockwave and crashed heavily to the ground.

The Xuanyuan Sword flew out of his hand and stuck in a rock in the distance.

She lay on the ground, covered in wounds, breathing weakly, and motionless.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.

A golden beam of light descended from the heavens and enveloped Li Mengmeng's body.

This is a gift from Heaven after successfully transcending the tribulation.

Within the beam of light, her injuries healed at a visible speed, the charred skin peeled off, revealing new skin.

The parched dantian was slowly filled, spiritual energy gathered again, and the golden core slowly rotated, becoming more solid than before.

Moreover, it seems to have grown a size larger than before.

She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing brightly.

The tribulation of the first nine thunderbolts has finally been overcome.

……

Luo Tian hovered in the air, his expression slowly relaxing, and Xiao Jin, who was perched on his shoulder, also exhaled a breath of stale air.

Li Mengmeng stood up, reached out and summoned the Xuanyuan Sword from the stone, which landed steadily in her hand.

She is now completely different from who she used to be.

After officially entering the Golden Core stage, his skin became more delicate, his eyes were incredibly clear, as if he had become several years younger, and the spiritual energy in his body also became more refined.

Most importantly, a breakthrough in mindset!

Once I swallow a golden pill, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!

Reaching the Golden Core stage signifies truly stepping into the threshold of immortal cultivation.

On Earth, they are already among the top tier of people!
