Boom!
Mark Gu plummeted from the sky.
Despite Old Turtle helping to cushion his fall, he was still gravely injured, the wounds from the lightning tribulation.
Mark’s body was battered and bruised, his skin torn. He opened his mouth weakly, eyes filled with despair.
The Golden Elixir within him was about to transform into an Elemental Infant, but there was still one more wave of lightning tribulation he couldn’t withstand.
The tribulation he faced was the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, something he had never anticipated.
Mark lay on the ground, turning his head to look at Ambrose Lu standing with his hands behind his back. Using all his strength, he forced a bitter smile.
“Sir… I never expected to encounter the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. I can’t withstand the last wave. Thank you for acting as my Guardian today. Please, you should leave…”
With that, he closed his eyes, exhausted and devoid of spiritual energy.
Although there was a defensive formation here, it couldn’t possibly withstand the fourth wave of the tribulation, and he truly had no strength left, not even to lift a finger.
He knew what awaited him next.
Death and the end of his path.
“Are you not going to face this last wave of the lightning tribulation?”
Ambrose Lu looked at the rolling tribulation clouds above and spoke softly.
Mark Gu opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a single word, completely drained of energy.
He thought Ambrose wanted to help him.
But throughout history, lightning tribulations were not to be interfered with. If anyone intervened, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The person who helped would undoubtedly face a devastating blow!
Ambrose Lu shook his head and openly flicked a wisp of energy into Mark Gu’s body, saying, “Survive this wave of the lightning tribulation, and you will be reborn.”
“Sir, no!”
Mark was stunned, but soon he was horrified to feel the spiritual energy reviving within him, and his various injuries healing at a terrifying speed!
He looked up at the sky in terror, but saw that the tribulation clouds showed no reaction, as if they hadn’t noticed Ambrose Lu’s actions.
How could this be…
“Go on, this is all I can help you with. You must face the lightning tribulation yourself.”
Ambrose Lu said calmly.
“Thank… you, sir!”
Mark Gu sprang up and soared towards the sky.
Just at that moment!
A sinister laugh echoed.
“Heh, I was wondering which Divine Transformation True Lord was undergoing a tribulation. Turns out it’s Immortal Gu from the Cyan Cloud Sect. To attract the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation while breaking through from Golden Elixir to Elemental Infant, impressive.”
As the voice fell,
Zhao Deep Abyss appeared high in the sky at a distance, first casting a wary glance at the tribulation clouds, then a mocking smile spread across his face.
Mark Gu’s expression changed drastically, “Demon King of the Abyss!!”
Zhao Deep Abyss glanced at the brewing tribulation clouds and laughed,
“Go on, face your tribulation. Once you’re done, I’ll kill you… though I’m afraid you might die directly from the lightning tribulation, which would be a real pity. I must say, your luck is quite unfortunate.”
“Heh, your luck is indeed unfortunate.”
At this moment, Old Turtle below also smiled and spoke.
Zhao Deep Abyss’s face turned grim, his gaze sharply shifting downward, his pupils slightly contracting.
He hadn’t noticed there were two others here!
It seemed these two were acting as Guardians for Mark Gu.
Before he could investigate further,
Boom…
The tribulation clouds suddenly roiled, lightning flashing.
“Focus on your tribulation, don’t worry about anything else.”
Ambrose Lu said calmly.
“Yes!”
Mark Gu breathed a sigh of relief and ignored Zhao Deep Abyss.
Zhao Deep Abyss gave Ambrose Lu and Old Turtle a deep look, his eyes narrowing.
The next moment, nine streaks of pale purple lightning descended!
Mark Gu’s eyes flashed with madness, a fierce determination erupting as he charged forward!
Boom—!
After a deafening explosion, a dark figure fell from the sky once again…
Old Turtle sighed helplessly and caught Mark Gu again. He had lost count of how many times he had caught him during this tribulation.
Mark Gu’s left arm was severed, his body covered in blood, but his mind was exceptionally clear at this moment.
He inwardly observed the tiny figure within him that resembled himself, tears welling up in his eyes.
After enduring countless hardships, he had finally survived the damned Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to Elemental Infant!
However, he was now extremely weak, unable to fully sense the changes within him.
At this moment, the tribulation clouds above rapidly dissipated, as if fleeing.
The sky cleared again.
Zhao Deep Abyss suddenly appeared in front of Mark Gu, looking down at him indifferently, “Surviving the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is impressive, but… you still have to die.”
Just then, a talisman appeared in Mark Gu’s hand and ignited, Christopher Tong’s anxious voice ringing out!
“Master, I see the tribulation clouds have dispersed. Did you succeed? There are many demons slaughtering people in Moyu Town, many townsfolk have already been killed or injured!”
Soon, the communication talisman burned out completely.
“You…” Mark Gu’s eyes widened in anger.
“Angry? Don’t be in such a hurry to get angry. I have a question for you. Eight years ago, who took my Abyss Demon Spear?”
Zhao Deep Abyss asked coldly.
He could clearly sense the Abyss Demon Spear was near this small town, but couldn’t pinpoint its exact location, which puzzled him greatly.
“Is this what you’re looking for?”
Old Turtle said, raising his hand to reveal the Abyss Demon Spear.
“My Abyss Demon Spear!” Zhao Deep Abyss was first overjoyed, then his expression turned serious as he stared at Old Turtle, “So it was you!”
“Give it to me,” Ambrose Lu extended his hand.
Old Turtle smiled and handed the Abyss Demon Spear to Ambrose Lu, then crossed his arms and watched the scene unfold, “Of course, it wasn’t your Grandpa Turtle.”
Ambrose Lu felt the trembling Abyss Demon Spear in his hand and said calmly, “Eight years… your master has finally come to rescue you.”
Upon hearing this, the Abyss Demon Spear trembled even more violently.
Zhao Deep Abyss felt the spear’s estrangement from him, his expression changing as he stared intently at Ambrose Lu!
“Return to your master.”
Ambrose Lu released his grip, and the Abyss Demon Spear hovered in the air, trembling, showing no intention of flying towards Zhao Deep Abyss.
This scene made Zhao Deep Abyss’s heart sink.
Goodness, he had once used the Abyss Demon Spear to drink a sea of blood, and now, after just eight years, it had grown distant from him?
Zhao Deep Abyss’s eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand sharply towards the Abyss Demon Spear!
Only then did the Abyss Demon Spear reluctantly fly back to his hand, but it continued to tremble, trying to break free from his grasp!
“Damn it, I clearly refined it long ago, how can I barely control it now!” Zhao Deep Abyss’s heart burned with anger.
He suddenly looked up, staring coldly at Ambrose Lu, “What did you do to my Abyss Demon Spear?!”
His earlier gesture to summon the spear back showed it still recognized him as its master, and he didn’t believe the person before him had the ability to erase his mark on the spear.
Ambrose Lu didn’t respond. Instead, he clapped his hands, took out a handful of winter dates, and began eating them, saying,
“Your Demon Sovereign met me yesterday, and today you come to cause trouble. What, didn’t she warn you to be more cautious?”
Demon Sovereign…
Not only Zhao Deep Abyss, but even Mark Gu looked up in shock at Ambrose Lu, swallowing hard…
After spending time with him, Mark Gu didn’t think Ambrose was someone who would boast or bluff.
The feeling Ambrose gave him was increasingly mysterious, far beyond the Divine Transformation True Lord he had once imagined…
Zhao Deep Abyss pointed the trembling Abyss Demon Spear at Ambrose Lu, sneering,
“The Demon Sovereign met you? And you’re still alive and well? Heh, anyone can boast. If you’re afraid of me, just say so!”
