Chapter 721 An Incredibly Powerful Tribulation Lightning [Please Subscribe]

"So this is the Heavenly Tribulation of spirits? It's truly terrifyingly powerful!"

Inside the Blackwood Forest, Zhou Chun looked at the thick thunderclouds in the sky and couldn't help but take a breath.

He was a cultivator who had done a great deal of research on the Heavenly Tribulation.

He was a witness to all the Heavenly Tribulations that he and Luo Qingni had undergone, as well as the Heavenly Tribulations that the three demon kings' spirit pets had undergone before.

In his view, the Heavenly Tribulation of Mu Mei and Mu Sang was several times stronger than the Heavenly Tribulation that Fu Shan Jun had encountered!

Although the heavenly lightning had not yet struck, Zhou Chun was certain that even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages might not be able to survive such a terrifying heavenly tribulation!

This is a heavenly tribulation that leaves no way out for those undergoing tribulation!

Based on the performance of the Wood Spirit Wood Sang, Zhou Chun felt that without his support, it wouldn't even have a 10% chance of successfully transcending the tribulation.

No, it's not that there's a 10% chance, it's that they will fail the tribulation!

Now, although he has made ample preparations for the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry, he still dares not have much confidence in whether it can successfully overcome this calamity.

Doing his best and leaving the rest to fate was all he could do at that moment.

Looking at the mulberry tree below the thunderclouds, it was already poised for battle, ready for any attack.

Sixteen fourth-tier [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] surrounded it in the center, ready to lend a helping hand at any time.

A dark blue shield-like magical artifact had been summoned and floated above its head, with several layers of magical defenses surrounding it.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the first bolt of tribulation lightning finally arrived as scheduled, crashing down.

The power of this first tribulation lightning alone was no less than that of the second round of tribulation lightning from Lord Fushan.

This shows just how fierce the Heavenly Tribulation Mu Sang experienced this time was!

As soon as the lightning struck, the shield-like magical artifact that served as the first line of defense was blasted to the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its body.

The residual power of the tribulation lightning then broke through two more protective spells before dissipating.

Mu Sang only had time to cast a protective spell before the second bolt of lightning struck down upon him.

This time, the shield magic weapon was directly reduced to dust by the tribulation lightning, and at the same time, the three layers of protective spells set up by Mu Sang were also broken one after another.

Silver lightning struck the emerald green spirit deer, instantly blasting half of its body apart!

At this moment, this pure spiritual body is no longer its advantage, but an insurmountable disadvantage.

When spiritual power encounters the power of tribulation lightning, it crumbles instantly and offers no protection whatsoever.

After experiencing this attack and feeling the restraining effect of the tribulation lightning on himself, Mu Sang no longer dared to harbor any illusions.

When the third bolt of lightning struck, it immediately summoned a reddish-brown wooden shield magic weapon to shield it.

Zhou Chun had previously asked Master Liehuo to refine magical artifacts, and all of them were wood-attribute defensive artifacts, so all three artifacts were shield-type artifacts.

The reddish-brown wooden shield magic weapon that Mu Sang used this time was even more exquisite than the previous bluish-black shield magic weapon.

However, after the two lightning strikes, the treasure was still shattered into more than a dozen pieces!

When the fifth lightning bolt struck, it could only summon its third shield magic weapon, a black and purple wooden shield magic weapon.

This wooden shield magic weapon is made entirely of fifth-grade spirit wood, and its quality is extremely superior. It also helped it block an additional tribulation lightning bolt.

However, even with all three superior-grade magic treasures destroyed, it only helped it survive seven tribulations of lightning, and it didn't even complete the first round.

This result exceeded Zhou Chun's expectations.

According to his prior assessment, the three high-grade magic treasures should be enough to help Mu Sang survive the first round of tribulation lightning.

Therefore, at this moment, he himself was even more nervous than Mu Sang, who was undergoing tribulation, and his expression was already very serious.

Of course, Mu Sang was not without tension, but faced with one after another of the tribulation lightning bolts, it had no time to think and focused all its energy on dealing with the tribulation lightning.

When the eighth lightning bolt struck, it summoned another high-grade wood-attribute magic weapon, the very same cyan spear that Zhou Chun had given to Luo Qingni.

This cyan spear magic weapon is also made of fifth-order cyan wood, with an extremely hard texture and extraordinary power.

However, after Luo Qingni formed her Nascent Soul, such a high-grade magic weapon became somewhat unsuitable for her.

Since she didn't need to fight anyone, after learning that Zhou Chun was preparing to help Mu Sang overcome her tribulation, she took the initiative to bestow this treasure upon Mu Sang.

However, this treasure is not a defensive magic weapon after all. Even if it can disperse the tribulation lightning, the scattered tribulation lightning power will still continue to surge towards Mu Sang.

Therefore, after being struck by the two lightning bolts, its deer spirit form was riddled with holes and became extremely ugly.

Fortunately, as a wood spirit, it also has advantages that demonic beasts do not possess.

That is, restoring mana is very convenient and quick.

Taking advantage of the fact that the first round of tribulation lightning had just passed and the second round of tribulation lightning had not yet struck, it immediately used its talent to quickly restore its own magical power by absorbing the wood spirit essence contained in the surrounding spiritual trees.

By the time the second round of tribulation lightning began to fall, it had recovered 80% of its consumed mana.

The second round of tribulation lightning was several times more powerful than the first round.

The first bolt of lightning struck down, shattering the cyan spear into several pieces.

Fortunately, Mu Sang was prepared for this and the several layers of protective spells he had set up in advance successfully blocked the aftershocks of the tribulation lightning.

When the second bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down, it had already activated its Dao soldier formation.

Sixteen fourth-tier [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] attacked simultaneously, pooling their spiritual power into a single, emerald-green umbrella-shaped shield that enveloped Mu Sang.

The lightning strike was immediately neutralized after it hit the umbrella-shaped protective shield.

One, two, three... seven!

The umbrella-shaped shield, supported by sixteen fourth-tier [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers], withstood seven bolts of tribulation lightning before being blasted away.

When the ninth tribulation lightning bolt struck in the second round, Mu Sang directly summoned the top-grade magic weapon, the Azure Profound Seal, to meet it head-on and forcefully dispersed the tribulation lightning!

Then, taking advantage of the break, Mu Sang directly activated the [Gift of Life] innate divine power.

Suddenly, a breathtaking scene unfolded.

Within a radius of tens of miles, countless tiny green specks of light emerged from the vegetation, floating in the air like a green meteor shower!

These emerald green specks of light emerged from the vegetation and quickly surged towards the Wood Spirit and Mulberry Tree, soon engulfing it in a rain of light.

As those emerald green lights emerged, the vegetation within a radius of dozens of miles withered rapidly and turned into dust, as if a thousand years had passed in an instant!

The once lush and verdant forest was transformed into a desolate wasteland in just a few dozen breaths, with gray-black dust from the vegetation covering the ground, which would fly everywhere when the wind blew.

On the other hand, the Wood Spirit Musang absorbed the essence of these plants and trees, instantly restored all its magic power, and temporarily multiplied its total magic power several times over!

Even those [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] who were about to exhaust their spiritual power were instantly restored to full strength!

This recovery speed is frighteningly exaggerated.

Not long after, the third round of tribulation lightning officially descended.

The sixteen fully restored [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] once again recreated the previous scene, forming an umbrella-shaped shield to protect Mu Sang inside.

However, the first bolt of lightning alone caused numerous cracks in the umbrella-shaped shield, and strands of lightning passed through the cracks and landed on a piece of emerald green armor that Mu Sang had condensed.

Then the second bolt of lightning struck, and the umbrella-shaped shield shattered instantly!

The aftershocks of the tribulation lightning spread out, instantly destroying four [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] and shattering the several layers of protection that Mu Sang had set up.

Zhou Chun's eyelids twitched at the sight, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

He had previously tested the defensive power of that umbrella-shaped shield; even when he used his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, to launch an attack, it took three attacks to break through it.

The umbrella-shaped shield was shattered by just two lightning bolts, which shows how monstrous the power of the third round of lightning is!

To put it bluntly, Zhou Chun's final Heavenly Tribulation lightning was not as powerful as Mu Sang's third round of tribulation lightning.

Even if it were the Silver Dragon Lord or Phoenix Lord from before, they probably wouldn't have had much of a chance to survive such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation.

If Zhou Chun hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the Heavenly Tribulation for advancing to the fifth-order Demon King was so powerful that even ordinary fifth-order Demon Kings would find it difficult to overcome!

It was clear that Mu Sang was also showing fear at this moment, and his heart was already somewhat flustered.

When the third bolt of tribulation lightning struck, it immediately unleashed the Azure Profound Seal once more to meet it.

Although this time, the power of the top-grade magic weapon was used to forcibly disperse the tribulation lightning.

However, the [Azure Profound Seal], a top-grade magic treasure, became dim and developed fine cracks.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly used the telepathic connection between master and servant to soothe it and calm it down.

With Zhou Chun's reassurance, Mu Sang quickly calmed down again.

However, the fourth lightning bolt had already struck, so it could only continue to activate the Azure Seal to resist the lightning's attack.

This time, the top-grade magic weapon, the Azure Profound Seal, was blasted directly into the depths of the earth, and the magic weapon itself suffered considerable damage.

At the same time, the several layers of protection that Mu Sang had set up were all blasted away by the aftershocks of the tribulation lightning, and the deer spirit's body once again showed considerable pits and wounds.

When the fifth tribulation lightning struck, it directly urged the remaining twelve [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] to meet the tribulation lightning, and also summoned another top-grade magic treasure, the [Mysterious Spirit Earth Banner].

Indeed, in order for Mu Sang to successfully overcome his tribulation, Lord Fu Shan also voluntarily lent out his top-grade magic weapon.

Although this top-grade magic weapon's attributes weren't a perfect match for Mu Sang, its exceptional quality and the sacrifice of the twelve [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers] still helped Mu Sang overcome the fifth tribulation lightning.

When the sixth tribulation lightning struck, the [Mysterious Spirit Earth Banner] was also overwhelmed and followed in the footsteps of the [Azure Mysterious Seal], being blasted away to some unknown corner.

Mu Sang's deer spirit body was also shattered into pieces by the aftershocks of the tribulation lightning, almost falling apart completely!

So when the seventh bolt of lightning struck, it had no choice but to unleash its final trump card: the Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword.

Unlike other magical treasures that were temporarily refined, this [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] was directly lent to Silver Dragon Lord for refinement and nurturing after he went into seclusion to recuperate.

Now, after years of nurturing and familiarization, this sword can unleash seventy to eighty percent of its power in its hands.

At this moment, he slashed at the falling tribulation lightning with his sword, and sure enough, he shattered the tribulation lightning with a single strike. Even the aftershocks of the tribulation lightning were absorbed by the sword.

Then the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning struck, only to be shattered by the flying sword it controlled.

Until the final bolt of lightning struck.

Like all the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Zhou Chun had witnessed before, the power of the final tribulation lightning would suddenly increase significantly.

The final tribulation lightning that Mu Sang encountered was so powerful it was terrifying.

The terrifying tribulation lightning transformed into a hundred-zhang-long heavenly tribulation lightning dragon, which crashed down towards the small, emerald-green spirit deer below.

The emerald green spirit deer also chose to burn its own essence, using all its strength to unleash the strongest sword strike of its life on the silver flying sword!

A flash of silver sword light disappeared in an instant, disappearing into the body of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon, as if it had been devoured by it.

Then the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon exploded, transforming into a sky full of lightning that engulfed the area where the emerald green spirit deer was located.

An area spanning twenty or thirty miles was completely transformed into a vast ocean of lightning!

In the distance, Zhou Chun's expression suddenly changed drastically, his body swayed slightly, and his face turned deathly pale.

This was because he suddenly realized that the spiritual connection between himself and Mu Sang had become intermittent, like a candle flame in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he knew all too well what this meant.

Is it really going to fail?

Looking at the vast expanse of silvery-white lightning, he felt a strong urge to rush forward and rescue his beloved pet.

"Master, please calm down! The tribulation lightning hasn't dissipated yet. If you intervene, you'll only harm Mu Sang and yourself!"

Feng Yuanjun, who was accompanying her master, seemed to have noticed her master's thoughts and hurriedly spoke up to dissuade her.

She was also worried about Mu Sang's safety, but compared to Zhou Chun, her feelings were certainly not as intense, and she was able to remain calmer at this moment.

"I know, let's just get closer and wait for the results!"

Zhou Chun responded softly to his beloved pet's words and immediately set off towards the place of tribulation.

After advancing for dozens of miles, the sea of ​​silvery-white lightning finally dissipated, and the thunderclouds in the sky also rapidly collapsed.

Zhou Chun has completely severed his mental connection with Mu Sang!

"Mu Sang, Mu Sang, are you still alive?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but call out loudly, his divine sense scanning the huge crater blasted out by the tribulation lightning again and again, trying to find his beloved pet.

But his words received no response; the mental connection remained disconnected.

This situation made him feel extremely upset and terrible, unable to accept the most unacceptable thing.

Just then, Feng Yuanjun seemed to have noticed something and hurriedly said, "Master, look! Look at the celestial phenomena!"

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Chun quickly looked up at the sky.

In addition to the setting sun, a silvery-white full moon appeared in the sky.

He and Feng Yuanjun were very familiar with this scene, because they had both witnessed such an unusual phenomenon more than once.

When the sun and moon appeared in broad daylight, "imperial dew" descended from the sky.

This is the reward bestowed by Heaven after the demon beast survives the Heavenly Tribulation!
