Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

The lightning bolts fell wildly, and the thunderous roar echoed one after another. As a dragon, Ao Lei was indeed quite skilled at passing through the lightning tribulation.

Although it is said that dragons can summon wind and rain and create thunder, they are also victims when faced with the tribulation lightning of the Heavenly Dao.

Under the Heavenly Tribulation, all beings are equal. This is a ranking test given by Heaven to all those who wish to pursue the path of cultivation.

Even dragons, if they cannot overcome this, will be reduced to ashes.

Nine Heavens Purple Lightning struck down relentlessly. In just a few dozen breaths, hundreds of tribulation lightning bolts had struck down, leaving Ao Lei with no way to avoid them.

Even though Ao Lei had summoned dragon scales, he was still struggling to withstand the onslaught of the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning.

However, the two culprits who tricked her into undergoing the tribulation were hiding down below.

Lu An, at some point, had set up a barbecue grill.

"Disciple, add more spice, your master loves spicy food."

"Alright, Master, add more if you like!"

Lu An carefully flipped the grill, then sprinkled on some chili peppers.

Above, people are undergoing tribulation; below, they're having a barbecue—it's a scene of seemingly harmonious harmony, yet also one with a strong sense of unease.

"Master, do you think she can withstand it?"

"I don't know, but I can help carry two of them later, but no more."

"Why not just let her go through it all? Why do you have to go up there and carry it yourself?"

Based on Lu An's experience with getting things for free, why do something yourself when others can do it?

"I need the tribulation lightning to cleanse my body and impurities, and I also need to be struck twice to prevent the Heavenly Dao from discovering that I cheated and making me face the highest level again next time I undergo tribulation."

"Master, you've already cheated, what are you afraid of? Heaven isn't blind."

"Sigh, I still have to put on a show, after all, I still want to improve!"

The barbecue is ready, and Ao Lei in the sky has reached a crucial moment.

"I think she's going to transform into a dragon! Otherwise, she'll be struck down sooner or later!"

"Is Master really?"

"really!"

If I can't take it anymore and continue to carry it on my own, I'll most likely be crippled!

Then Ao Lei let out a dragon's roar, and his body was enveloped in blue light, illuminating the entire sky.

As the blue light dissipated, a gigantic ancient thunder dragon appeared above Ping'an City, its demonic aura overwhelming, but the aura of tribulation lightning directly overwhelmed its demonic aura.

"The big...big demon overcomes the tribulation!"

"Holy crap, a powerful demon in Heian City is undergoing tribulation! What's the point of living here?!"

"The house prices in Ping'an City are going to drop! The house prices are going to drop! I can marry Xiao Cui now! Hahahaha!"

"Breaking news! A demonic dragon is undergoing tribulation! Quick, take a picture! I want to be famous! I want to be famous!"

"Hahahaha! Demons are invading, a great calamity is imminent! Do you see?! Only by believing in my divine religion can everyone be saved!"

Upon seeing the enormous body, which resembled a mountain, the group was filled with awe, some fearful and others delighted, while various demons and monsters took the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Roar!"

Ao Lei let out a deafening roar, and the entire city of Ping'an shook as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting.

The next moment, Ao Lei rushed straight to the center of the tribulation lightning, his eyes filled with determination.

"Master, it seems to be intoxicated."

"Yes...they really put their heart and soul into it."

Chapter 171 I Have a Secret Weapon!

The sky was filled with tribulation lightning, and the ancient thunder dragon, fearless and determined to overcome its tribulation, was determined to survive.

Seeing this, Lu An actually felt a little sorry for him.

Thinking about what I had just done, a strong sense of guilt welled up inside me.

This Gu Leilong is just like a working person who has been subjected to PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.

How miserable.

Fortunately, I lost my conscience the moment I stepped into the Heavenly Demon Sect, so I don't feel too guilty.

Having someone take the exam for you is something you'd be incredibly grateful for.

Besides, he's our master!

If he dares to betray even his master, why would he be afraid of a demonic dragon?

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!

"Master, let's have some barbecue!"

"My disciple, aren't we going too far?"

"How is this going too far? Tribulation lightning is also very beneficial to a demon's body. Master, you're giving it a great opportunity!"

Rumble!

boom!

Another bolt of purple lightning struck down, blasting a scale off the right side of Ao Lei's back.

Scales shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and tribulation lightning coiled around Ao Lei's dragon body, emanating a terrifying aura.

Blood trickled from the corner of Ao Lei's mouth, but she still raised her proud head and looked up at the sky with neither arrogance nor servility.

This lightning tribulation is far too powerful! It doesn't seem like the kind of lightning tribulation one would expect when advancing from the eighth to the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Could it be because of the Nuwa Divine Stone? That it has significantly increased the power of the tribulation lightning?

But... it's just a tribulation of lightning, I must get through it!

That's right! I, the King, must get through this!

With this in mind, Ao Lei rallied once again.

The purple lightning from the heavens fell like a torrential rain. Ao Lei was caught in the lightning, and he felt as if his whole body was being scorched by flames, as if thousands of needles were piercing his heart, and as if all the meridians in his body were about to shatter.

boom! boom! boom!

Each time the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning struck Ao Lei, it was like a heavy hammer hitting a piece of fine steel, producing a deafening sound of metal clashing against stone.

The buildings surrounding Ping'an City had been reduced to ashes by the lightning, and the fire was spreading wildly like a plague, like a greedy giant serpent determined to devour everything around it.

People fled the raging fire, and some practitioners volunteered to use water to extinguish it. However, the fire of tribulation lightning could not be extinguished by ordinary water, and some people were helpless.

After an unknown amount of time, Ao Lei was finally exhausted, his body covered with wounds inflicted by the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning. Blood flowed from the wounds, turning into blood rain that poured down from the sky above the Shi family.

Although the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning had weakened considerably after this release, a huge vortex of dark clouds still formed in the sky above.

It was like a gaping maw of an abyss, ready to devour the entire city of Heian.

The wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Although it was just a cultivator undergoing tribulation, Lu An felt as if it were the end of the world.

Lu An, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage without knowing the circumstances, was extremely nervous and afraid.

Are these the cultivators of this world?

In the past, this would have been a red alert, no, a black alert.

Hailstones the size of beans fell from the sky, killing the dancing chickens in the Shi family's chicken coop.

The basketball rolled to one side, seemingly telling the story of its past dreams.

"Won't it get killed by the lightning?"

I'm actually a little worried about breaking through to the next level.

After all, she hasn't finished undergoing the tribulation yet. If this demonic dragon falls, she'll be the next one to be criticized.

After all, she is the one who is taking the exam now, and Ao Lei is just a substitute test-taker who was tricked by her.

"She might get struck by lightning. I don't think she's thinking straight; she's so reckless."

"By the way, what's her name?"

"No...I don't know!"

"do not know?"

In an instant, the two realized a very serious problem.

What is the name of this demonic dragon?

The next moment, hundreds of dazzling purple lightning bolts fell from the sky.

"No, if this continues, it will be hacked to death!"

Li Badao stood up, still holding the unfinished skewers in his hand, with grease on his lips.

"This is too dangerous, Master, are you going to go?"

Lu An took a bite of the skewer, followed by a second one, making sure to follow up seamlessly.

"What am I supposed to do? If I go up there, I'll definitely get struck by lightning too. I can't withstand the lightning tribulation of the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!"

"unless……"

Li Podao shifted his gaze to Lu An, who instantly felt a chill.

Why does Master's gaze look so strange?

"Master, why are you looking at me like that? Don't look at me like that."

“My disciple, do you remember back then…”

Li Podao began to tell Lu An about how, back in Yunsha Mountain, he used a circle to trap Lu An and test whether the lightning tribulation could strike him.

Then, some unpleasant memories came to Lu An's mind again.

The story of how he was tricked into the circle by his master, and then crouched weakly and helplessly inside the red circle, covering his head to avoid the lightning.

Master is such a beast! She deserves to be struck by lightning!

“Disciple, your physique is special, born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so the tribulation lightning might treat you as one of its own and not strike you at all.”

Lu An was dumbfounded, wondering what kind of nonsense this was and what it had to do with her.

“If you come up with me, I can help her withstand some of the tribulation lightning, and we won’t be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.”

"Master, what do you mean by this!?"

Hearing what Li Podao said, Lu An immediately sensed something was wrong.

But Lu An quickly understood what she meant.

Lu An was tied up from head to toe and then directly strapped to Li Podao's back, looking like a human backpack.

"Disciple, get ready. Your master is moving a bit fast. Hang in there."

"Master, I..."

Before Lu An could finish speaking, Li Podao transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

"I...I'm going to report you to the Demonic Sect Association for abusing your disciple! Aa ...

Lu An's voice was swallowed up by the raging wind, drowned out by its sound.

Ao Lei was already severely injured, and the spiritual energy in his body was in complete disarray.

What she was once proud of, the indestructible dragon scales that were even harder than the magical artifacts of cultivators, had at this moment turned into a pile of fragile armor plates.

The horrifying wound was exposed to the air. Under the lightning tribulation, the huge, scarlet wound looked as if a sharp weapon had carved a large gash into Ao Lei's body.

She's been struck so hard she's starting to doubt her very existence as a dragon. Is this really the kind of tribulation lightning a dragon of her caliber should be subjected to?

This isn't about letting her undergo tribulation and training; it's about trying to kill her!

Something's not right, something's really not right!

Even after all this cracking, the calamity clouds still haven't dispersed. What the hell is going on?
