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

Could it be a ghost?

If this continues, she's really going to meet a ghost!

Li Podao transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky. Then, he formed hand seals and his expression became serious.

"The devil is in chaos!"

Countless purplish-black demonic shadows emerged from Li Podao's body, transforming into countless black walls that directly blocked the heavily injured Ao Lei.

However, under the attack of the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning, these black walls did not last long before being shattered into pieces.

A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Li Podao's mouth.

This level of tribulation lightning was truly not something she could easily withstand.

Even at the peak of the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, a near-seventh level level, it was still too much for him to withstand this level of heavenly lightning.

Li Podao then gathered demonic energy around himself and used all his strength to condense it into a protective shield, which he placed directly in front of him.

"Why are you doing this...!?"

"I will help you overcome your tribulation, senior!" Li Podao said magnanimously.

"Heavenly tribulations cannot be substituted! Don't throw your life away in vain!"

Ao Lei cried out in distress, trying to dissuade him.

"Yes, Master, they've said that, let's retreat quickly!"

Bringing Lu An to the center of the tribulation lightning by Li Podao, Lu An was almost scared to death.

Is this a place for humans to stay?

Taking him to the crater would be a million times better than this!

"No, it's everyone's responsibility to help each other, whether human or transvestite!"

Li Podao mimicked Lu An's witty remark, and then a bolt of purple lightning struck down, nearly shattering the barrier into pieces.

But it still held on, though not reliably.

"You can't hold on! Human, run!"

Ao Lei, surprisingly, also felt a pang of sympathy.

"No, I have a secret weapon! I can handle this!"

Li Podao did not retreat, but Lu An behind him suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Disciple, I've raised you for a thousand days, but I'll use you for one. Go!"

"Holy crap! Master, no!"

The next moment, Li Podao grabbed Lu An by the chest, and with all his might, threw Lu An straight into the center of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning.

"It's all over, it's all over! You beast, Li Podao, I hate you!"

Chapter 172 Tribulation Lightning Avoidance Physique

Like a shooting star, Lu An rushed straight towards the center of the tribulation lightning in the heavens.

A deafening clap of thunder rang in Lu An's ears, and a dazzling purple flash of lightning made Lu An feel as if he had been transported to the deepest hell.

Isn't this going to kill us? Who can withstand this?

Lu Anfei flew into the center of the tribulation lightning, just like a lamb falling into a wolf's den.

If there were a pack of wolves here, they would only want to say one thing: thank you for the gifts of nature.

However, he has now cursed Li Podao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

How is this supposed to work? A Nascent Soul cultivator jumps straight to the Tribulation Transcending stage; this isn't how you skip levels.

Who the hell plays a game and goes to a level 100 map to fight monsters?

Fighting a boss in the starting village, is this like playing Devil May Cry 5?

Oh no, oh no, one strike of the tribulation lightning and I'll be charred to death. This time I'm definitely going to die a horrible death.

Lu An closed his eyes and awaited death.

Countless bolts of purple lightning gathered around Lu An, and the deafening thunder almost deafened him.

The dazzling lightning made Lu An feel the surrounding light even with his eyes closed.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

In my next life, I won't cultivate immortality.

Lu An closed his eyes and quietly awaited death.

As expected of a tribulation lightning strike during the Tribulation Transcending stage, I didn't feel a thing when it hit me. I guess I'd be reduced to ashes by now.

According to my master, even the souls of those in the Tribulation Transcending stage are hard to preserve during the tribulation lightning. As for someone in the Nascent Soul stage, he'll probably be struck down so hard that not even a trace of his soul will remain.

However, from the perspectives of Li Podao and Ao Lei, they saw a different scene.

Lu An transformed into a streak of azure light and shot straight toward the tribulation cloud at the center of the tribulation lightning.

Ao Lei was shocked; she hadn't expected this human cultivator to be so ruthless.

Logically, if someone were thrown in like that, they should be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.

But then a miraculous thing happened.

The Nine Heavens Purple Lightning, which could have severely injured Ao Lei, completely avoided Lu An. Countless bolts of tribulation lightning flickered like a spider web in the center of the tribulation clouds, but not a single one struck Lu An.

What's happening here?

However, Li Podao roughly understood what was going on.

This disciple is indeed extraordinary!

Even those at the Tribulation Transcending stage fear this lightning strike, yet Lu An emerged unscathed. What does this mean? It means that Lu An was indeed as she predicted!

Not only was it born from Nuwa's divine stone, but it is also estimated to be the reincarnation of a celestial soul!

Extraordinary! Extraordinary!

Otherwise, how could an ordinary soul reside inside Nuwa's divine stone?

How could an ordinary person possibly avoid the tribulation lightning?

The tribulation lightning represents the will of Heaven. Doesn't this mean that even Heaven doesn't dare to provoke Lu An?

She was thrilled to be coming to this conclusion, which once again confirmed what she had in mind.

This disciple is indeed extraordinary; it seems she chose the right one.

Heaven has eyes! This is a stroke of luck!

Ao Lei, however, stared blankly at the scene, at a loss for what to do.

What the hell? This deadly tribulation lightning is actually avoiding him?

What's going on? What happened? Is there really someone in the world who even the lightning bolts dare not provoke?

I really don't understand it.

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on with your disciple?"

Ao Lei finally couldn't help but ask, but he had already changed his form of address to a respectful one.

"Can't you see? My disciple has even avoided the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning; his cultivation has already reached the pinnacle!"

"Is it really... really so?"

"Alas, my disciple has too many secrets; even I can't see through him."

Li Podao said in a deliberately profound tone.

Nonsense! I finally got such a precious disciple, how could I reveal all his details to you?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Ao Lei also looked at Li Podao with a meaningful gaze, then dared not speak.

These two, master and disciple, have many secrets.

These two should not become enemies, but only become friends!

Lu An opened his eyes and also noticed something strange.

I'm still alive!

So Lu An scanned his surroundings, observing everything around him.

Then he discovered that the surrounding lightning bolts seemed to be avoiding him at all costs, and they all bypassed him.

Countless bolts of purple lightning fell, but the closest ones merely brushed past him, not even touching the hem of his clothes.

Lu An was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

"Azure Sword!"

With a thought, Lu An summoned the Azure Sword.

The next moment, the Azure Sword flew out of the storage ring, cut the ropes binding him, and then flew to his feet, lifting him up.

Even with flying swords right beneath his feet, the tribulation lightning still couldn't strike him.

The lightning around him was deafening, making a rumbling sound like an explosion, but it didn't harm him in the slightest.

So Lu An became bolder and floated on his sword like an immortal, detached from the world, amidst the tribulation clouds of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder.

If the tribulation lightning hadn't struck him, the scene within the tribulation clouds would have been quite awe-inspiring.

The depths of the tribulation clouds seemed to connect to another world, with countless purple lightning bolts constantly emerging from the depths of the clouds, as if the tribulation clouds were the entrance to some mysterious world, or perhaps hiding some terrifying and ferocious ancient beast.

Outside of Ping'an City, some powerful beings undergoing tribulation were using various divine artifacts to spy on everything here.

After all, the aura of tribulation clouds at the ninth level of the tribulation realm attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Within Heian City, countless eyes were also watching all of this.

After all, this is a rare Nine Heavens Purple Lightning, and the one undergoing tribulation is an exceptionally powerful demon. Who wouldn't want to see it?

If the great demon dragon successfully transcends its tribulation, then the human race will naturally face a greater threat.

If that's the case, then we should take advantage of the fact that this demonic dragon has just completed its tribulation and is in poor condition, and unite to kill it to avoid leaving behind a major threat!

The purple lightning from the heavens seemed to be without a master, not knowing where to go, so it lashed down wantonly at the high mountains surrounding Ping'an City.

Rumble!

boom! boom! boom!

The deafening explosions rang out one after another, and some mountain peaks were directly leveled by the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning. Some unfortunate demonic beasts on them were also directly cleaved into ashes.

After an unknown amount of time, the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning finally weakened, the tribulation clouds gradually dispersed, and the power of the Heavenly Dao gradually diminished.

Upon seeing this, Li Podao and Ao Lei were overjoyed.

This signifies that the tribulation has passed, and they have finally endured the long night and awaited the arrival of dawn.

And some people were finally able to see clearly everything within the clouds of calamity.

A figure slowly appeared amidst the tribulation clouds of purple lightning in the nine heavens.

"It's Lu An!!!"

Inside the secret chamber of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Sect, Shen Yanzi, dressed in a JK uniform, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Why is it Lu An from the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect who is appearing when it is clearly an ancient thunder dragon undergoing the eighth level of tribulation?

Although he saw that Gu Leilong had not left, Lu An's appearance was clearly unexpected.

So he did another calculation with his fingers, and a backlash from the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared, causing the breath in his chest to reverse and flow in the opposite direction, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"The secrets of heaven are beyond calculation... This person is even being concealed from the very heavenly principles, why is that!?"

Shen Yanzi continued calculating, but the backlash grew stronger and stronger.

All he saw was a fog.

So he gave up on the calculation.
