Forced to go through the tribulation with Ye Qing, Di Cang's mood was already crumbling.
Originally, Di Cang's purpose was just to get close to Ye Qing and kill him.
But he never would've thought that Ye Qing's tribulation wasn't over yet!
Who would've thought that after the ninth tribulation, there would still be a blood-red lightning? It was simply terrifying.
Although it may sound slow, but in the blink of an eye, both Ye Qing and Di Cang were covered by that blood-red lightning bolt.
Ye Qing's body was surrounded by purple lightning. It was a low-level Daoist technique, the Seventy-Two Heavenly Lightning. It was used to block the attack of the blood-red lightning.
Di Cang's situation was different. In a hurry, he was attacked by the blood-red lightning. He didn't have time to use any means to resist. He could only rely on his Yuan Qi to protect himself.
With a crackling sound, a blood-red bolt of lightning struck down, stunning everyone present. Its first target was Ye Qing.
Because Di Cang was by Ye Qing's side, the crimson lightning bolts began to spread towards Di Cang's body.
Di Cang suddenly screamed out in pain, battered and exhausted. That blood-red lightning bolt had a great effect on him, causing his skin to split open and his flesh to split open. Wisps of black smoke could be seen coming out of his head.
The blood-red lightning was too strong. It was far beyond what a Holy Emperor should be able to withstand. It was even a great threat to Tian Qi cultivators.
Di Cang was caught off guard and was injured. In a flash, his face became as pale as paper.
"Brat, sooner or later, I will settle the debt with you!" Di Cang's figure flickered and he rushed into the sky. He wanted to retreat.
After being attacked by the blood-red lightning, Di Cang's injuries weren't light. Moreover, he was forced to interfere with Ye Qing's tribulation. He would definitely be punished by the heavens.
A lightning tribulation that targeted cultivators of the fifth Tian Qi layer was very terrifying. Di Cang didn't have the confidence to withstand it so he immediately fled. He wanted to quickly return to the Profound Purity Palace.
Di Cang's idea is very good, but unfortunately for him, his speed has plummeted after being affected by the red lightning.
In addition to that, thunder rumbled in the sky. The heavens were angry and sent down a lightning tribulation to punish Di Cang for interfering with someone else's tribulation.
Di Cang's heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness. He was on the verge of collapse. In the face of the terrifying lightning punishment, even with his ability, he might not be able to withstand it. Moreover, he had to go back and ask for help from the Supreme Profound Purity Palace.
Just as Hua Xuandu rushed out, Ye Qing had already caught up with him. The nine demon wings flapped and chased after him at more than 18 times the speed of light.
Ye Qing didn't make a move at all. Instead, he simply hovered in the air beside Di Cang's body.
Di Cang's lightning tribulation was similar in nature to the heavenly tribulation. If Ye Qing were to make a move then he'd also be punished by the heavens. If that happens, then Ye Qing wouldn't be fun anymore.
Therefore, Ye Qing has been silently watching Di Cang while closely following Ye Qing's side.
Ye Qing's purpose was very clear. He didn't want to interfere with Di Cang's lightning tribulation, but at the same time, he didn't want Di Cang to leave.
Ye Qing was no stranger to hitting someone when they're down. Once Di Cang's lightning tribulation is over, that's when Ye Qing will make his move.
"Boom!" From the sky, the terrifying lightning tribulation came crashing down, directly bombarding Di Cang's body with blood-red lightning.
Di Cang screamed again and again as the lightning wrapped around his body. The situation was very tragic.
After a series of blood-red lightning strikes, Di Cang was already on the verge of death and couldn't bear it anymore.
Suddenly, Di Cang seemed to have gone crazy and rushed towards Ye Qing, seemingly wanting to perish together with Ye Qing.
Unfortunately, Di Cang was obviously thinking too much. With his current speed, there's no way he could catch up to Ye Qing. He couldn't even touch Ye Qing's sleeve.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh sounds rang out as Ye Qing kept a safe distance from Di Cang.
Di Cang couldn't shake off Ye Qing, nor could he get close enough to Ye Qing to transmit the lightning tribulation.
As time went by, more and more blood-red lightning bolts came crashing down from the sky, causing Di Cang's injuries to worsen.
After five consecutive lightning strikes, Di Cang's injuries were serious to the extreme. His life essence was also greatly depleted.
Finally, the lightning tribulation in the sky stopped and Di Cang could no longer bear the bombardment of the blood-red lightning.
He was already half dead, so the moment the lightning tribulation stopped, Di Cang immediately mobilized all the elemental energy in his body and ignited his life potential to rush up into the sky.
Di Cang wanted to tear open the boundary between the mortal realm and the celestial realm and enter the turbulent space. That way, Ye Qing wouldn't be able to track him down.
Unfortunately, Di Cang's idea was too simple. Ye Qing had been paying attention to him the whole time. When the lightning tribulation was about to end, Ye Qing was already preparing a terrifying move.
Almost as soon as the lightning tribulation disappeared, Ye Qing's next move came crashing down. An eight-colored fire lotus with a destructive aura came crashing down on Di Cang's back!
After fusing with the Purifying Lotus Flame, the power displayed by the eight-colored fire lotus was absolutely terrifying.
Under the bombardment of the eight-colored fire lotus, Di Cang's body completely collapsed without any suspense.
Di Cang's injuries were already very serious when he went through the lightning tribulation. Now that he's being attacked by the eight-colored fire lotus, his body completely collapsed and suffered a fatal blow.
As a fifth level Tian Qi cultivator, Di Cang was still desperately struggling. Turning around, he blasted out a powerful palm strike. This was his signature move, the Judgement of Destiny!
The terrifying palm strike swept across the world, borrowing the power of the firmament to display its astonishing power.
As the saying goes, a centipede won't fall down even when it's dead. Although Di Cang was seriously injured, he was still a fifth level Tian Qi cultivator.
Ye Qing didn't waste time talking nonsense with Di Cang. Raising his hand, he blasted out a purple lightning bolt.
Eighteen purple lightning bolts blasted out. Inside Ye Qing's body, all kinds of elemental energy surged and various types of elemental fire appeared. Once again, an eight-colored fire lotus was formed.
At the same time, a trident formed from the dark moon energy pierced towards the sky.
Ye Qing's methods were endless, forcing Di Cang to retreat again and again. The Judgement of Heaven was no match for Ye Qing's attack.
If Di Cang wasn't injured and in his peak state, he might be able to suppress Ye Qing. But now, he was completely at a disadvantage.
"Brat, don't go too far!"
Di Cang roared. The life essence in his body quickly evaporated, consuming a large amount of his life essence to reform his body.
His body looked completely new, as if he wasn't injured at all.
However, there was still a violent lightning energy in his body. He had once been affected by the lightning punishment, and his injuries were still there. He had not fully recovered. He had only changed into a new physical body. He was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Burning a large amount of his life essence in one go would cost him at least tens of thousands of years of lifespan.
A fifth level Tian Qi cultivator's lifespan was over two hundred thousand years. But for Di Cang, losing tens of thousands of years of lifespan was still a bit difficult to bear.
"Ye Qing, if I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not a human!"
Di Cang roared. Raising his hand, he took out a huge seal that released a terrifying pressure.
"Life Seal, kill for me!"
Grinning, Di Cang took out a white jade seal that exuded a terrifying power. It's a second revolution saint weapon that's on par with Ye Qing's Dragon Slaying Saber!
Ye Qing's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Di Cang to still have a trump card.
If Di Cang had taken out the second revolution holy weapon earlier, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
Or maybe, at the beginning, Di Cang had underestimated Ye Qing's strength. He didn't expect Ye Qing to be able to destroy his body.
