The burly man was excited and laughed, "Primordial Thunder Dragon! Good, good! He's not dead yet?"
The woman replied, "Not necessarily. This is just the image of a divine beast with a bit of the primordial thunder dragon's aura. If it really is, then He Qi won't be able to defeat it!
Even the palace lord wouldn't be its match! "
Lao Dao sighed, "This Calamity Jade Talisman is really powerful. It can magnify the lightning tribulation by three times. It's not a lie!"
Calamity Jade Talismans weren't refined by cultivators. They were objects born from the world and could trigger different levels of calamities depending on their grade.
A cultivator's growth potential was related to the tribulation they had to endure. Those who could endure the tribulation without dying would be able to go further on the path of cultivation. That was why some geniuses would use Calamity Jade Talismans to attract the tribulation.
The Primordial Lightning Dragon in the sea of lightning immediately transformed into a golden-winged Peng.
He Qi's heart suddenly tightened as fear rose in his heart. This "Lei Long" was also proficient in the Transformation Dao, and the Transformation Dao was not as simple as changing one's appearance.
When it reached a high level, it could take the form of a divine beast and use its innate divine ability. Although it was far from the divine beast's true form, it was still very powerful.
The Golden Roc flew in the sea of lightning, traveling thousands of miles in the blink of an eye as if it was teleporting. The sea of lightning wasn't big enough for it to fly.
"The Roc hates the sky for being too low!" He Qi said. An adult Roc could roam the three realms, so it was called the Sky-Roaming Roc.
The Golden Roc was the king of Kunpengs. When it spread its wings, He Qi immediately recognized it as the Kunpeng's innate divine ability, Kunpeng Extreme Speed.
Ordinary Perfected Golden Immortals wouldn't even be able to catch up to it, let alone kill it.
The Roc flapped its wings and a raging flame appeared on its body. It instantly turned into a fiery phoenix that looked very beautiful under the lightning and tribulation fire.
The phoenix spread its wings and let out a cry. The boundless sea of lightning was ignited with tribulation fire.
Countless flaming birds materialized from the flames. Each of the flaming birds was not weaker than a True Immortal. Tens of thousands of flaming birds surrounded the Fire Phoenix like stars surrounding the moon.
"Hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix!"
That was the phoenix's enslavement path innate divine ability, as long as the phoenix in the lightning sea did not die, it could endlessly summon endless firebirds.
Even at this stage, the Fire Phoenix still did not take the initiative to attack. Spiritual Qi was still accumulating in the sea of thunder. He Qi felt bitter watching this.
He immediately understood that the Nine Heavenly Tribulations required him to take the initiative to kill a tribulation beast that was proficient in the Transformation Dao and could control lightning in the sea of lightning.
He Qi was terrified. The world's will seemed to sense He Qi's fear. For a moment, the thunder became even louder as if bombarding the depths of his soul. But He Qi's battle intent did not diminish despite his fear. Sword cultivators like us know fear, but even if we are fearful, we still dare to draw our swords and fight to the death.
The Nine Luminaries Sword had long been connected to He Qi's heart. As his battle intent surged, the runes on the Nine Luminaries Sword glowed brightly. He Qi flicked his finger on the body of the sword, causing the sword to hum lightly. This hum of the sword stood out from the thunderous rumbling, as though it was the sound of nature that came from beyond the nine heavens.
Even the four immortals at the edge of the sea of lightning were less afraid of the Golden Lightning Tribulation when they heard this humming. He Qi raised his head and howled.
"Death Path of Cultivation, One Sword to Break the Blue Sky!"
He Qi's battle intent soared. The runes on the Nine Luminaries Sword flashed, and He Qi seemed to be holding a sword of light.
"Kill!"
In the next moment, He Qi became one with the sword and turned into a beam of azure light that went against the sky.
At this moment, He Qi's courage as a sword cultivator was completely revealed. With an immortal sword in hand, why would he be afraid of a battle?
The nine lightning tribulations in the sky rumbled at the same time. The huge phoenix flapped its wings and disappeared into the sea of lightning. Countless firebirds and boundless golden lightning rained down like the end of the world.
In contrast, the lonely cyan sword light below was unyielding, fearless, and unafraid.
At the edge of the sea of lightning, the four immortals saw He Qi facing the countless golden lightning bolts and riding his sword into the sky. Instantly, the four of them had different expressions. The muscular man and the skinny Daoist were overjoyed, as if their plot had succeeded.
The woman in the palace gown couldn't bear it, while the beautiful girl with the compound surname Murong had a wooden expression.
"Bravo, Brother He!" The burly True Immortal gloated.
The woman in the palace gown mocked, "Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, you're a genius, but you don't know how to read people."
The burly man's expression changed and became unhappy, but he was afraid of the opponent's background, so he could only snort. The two immortals didn't agree with each other, but they both thought that He Qi had no chance of surviving this tribulation.
"Look!" The green-robed Lao Dao exclaimed.
The four of them widened their eyes in shock. They saw that under the sea of lightning, the green sword light was getting brighter and brighter, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
He Qi became one with the sword and rode it against the sky. The sword light cut through the sky, and spiritual energy constantly entered the sword light. In this life and death situation, He Qi's heart mirror was clear, and he unconsciously pushed his sword intent to another level.
"Slash!" He Qi roared, and that massive sword-light instantly split into tens of thousands of streaks of sharp Sword Qi, killing all of the Flaming Birds in the sky. The main sword in the middle continued to advance, and even the Flaming Phoenixes didn't dare to block it head-on.
Dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, tribulation fire filled the sky, and golden lightning flashed. "Break!" He Qi shouted, and the main sword cut the boundless sea of lightning in half.
The four immortals were shocked. In their opinion, the power of heaven and earth couldn't withstand He Qi's sword. The golden lightning roared, the fire phoenix spread its wings, and the golden lightning on both sides was like a raging tide, but it couldn't merge.
Within the gigantic green Sword Qi, the word "transform" suddenly sounded out. As soon as the words were spoken, the gigantic Sword Qi flashed brightly and exploded within the sea of lightning. Within the green light, He Qi's figure appeared. He stood on a green lotus and pointed his sword at the fire phoenix.
"Sword Domain!"
The woman in the palace dress exclaimed. A domain was the power of law that could only be grasped by a late-stage Perfected Golden Immortal. Within that domain, he was the will of heaven and earth.
The strong True Immortal was dumbfounded. At this time, the fairy Murong shook her head and said, "He hasn't fully comprehended it, but he's borrowing the power of the Profound Origin Azure Lotus."
The four immortals looked at him in a daze. The green-robed Lao Dao said, "The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal is extremely talented. If we continue fighting, he will soon master the Sword Domain."
The strong man's expression turned cold, and he smiled evilly. "This is the crucial moment. Murong, will you choose me or him?"
The fairy Murong said coldly, "Everyone, let's fight according to the agreement."
