The sky,
Dark clouds of the tribulation pressed down on everyone, making it hard to breathe, even though they were not within the range of the thunder tribulation.
“It’s the Nine-Nine Purple Thunder Tribulation! My god, Daoist Zhang’s aptitude is truly terrifying!”
“Indeed, usually the Ascension Tribulation for those at the Tribulation Crossing stage is just the ordinary Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Alas, Daoist Zhang is in for a tough time.”
“……”
What Old Turtle and Chu Xiruo considered a relatively weaker Nine-Nine Purple Thunder Tribulation was, in the eyes of the cultivators, an extremely terrifying existence.
In the sky.
Nathan Zhang’s robes fluttered, his gaze resolute!
He had long guessed that his Ascension Tribulation would be the Nine-Nine Purple Thunder Tribulation, so he had made ample preparations beforehand and wasn’t that panicked.
According to his own calculations, he had a sixty percent chance of successfully crossing this Ascension Tribulation!
Rumble!!
The tribulation clouds churned, purple lightning flickered, heralding the imminent arrival of the first wave of thunder tribulation!
“Ancestor must succeed in crossing this…”
Seeing the terrifying heavenly thunder, countless elders and disciples of the Carefree Courtyard silently prayed in their hearts.
Soon, a burst of light flashed in the sky, almost blinding everyone!
With a crack, nine bolts of purple tribulation lightning, each as thick as two fingers, struck down fiercely!
“For the first three waves of tribulation lightning, I will withstand them with my body!!”
Nathan Zhang, who had already made his plans, shouted and shot up like a meteor!
This scene left many cultivators with dry mouths; they could imagine that if they were in his place, they would probably be dead the moment they touched this purple lightning.
Nathan Zhang and the tribulation lightning collided in an instant.
With a boom, arcs of electricity flickered wildly, and Nathan Zhang’s face turned pale, his white hair standing on end from the electricity.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; Nathan Zhang had withstood the first wave of tribulation lightning…
Next…
For the second wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang again used his spiritual energy to withstand it with his body. His face grew even paler, and his clothes were in tatters.
For the third wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang still withstood it with his body. Blood finally seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was charred black.
For the fourth wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang had already taken a healing elixir beforehand. He summoned a treasure to resist, but the treasure was shattered by the lightning.
For the fifth wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang used a precious lightning-attribute armor to absorb most of the lightning’s power and withstood it again.
For the sixth wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang used an intermediate Earth-level spell to counter it. However, the power of the tribulation lightning was too strong, and he still suffered severe injuries but managed to withstand it.
For the seventh wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang, under the astonished gazes of everyone, summoned another treasure. The treasure was shattered, the tribulation lightning dissipated, but he was thoroughly injured.
For the eighth wave of purple tribulation lightning, Nathan Zhang took a top-grade elixir specifically for tribulation crossing, and his injuries healed significantly in an instant. He activated a ninth-level Lightning Defense Formation, withstanding the tribulation lightning completely, and the formation remained intact with some strength left!
“Amazing!”
“Daoist Zhang seems to have prepared a lot for this Ascension Tribulation. Every step is so thrilling yet within his control…”
“Indeed, Daoist Zhang has calculated the timing, steps, and every detail meticulously. It seems that only with proper allocation can one survive the terrifying Ascension Tribulation!”
“I never thought the tribulation could be crossed this way. This trip was worth it.”
“Now there’s only the last wave of purple tribulation lightning left. The Lightning Defense Formation still has strength left; Daoist Zhang should be able to cross it. I’m envious.”
“……”
Rumble!!
The next moment, the final nine bolts of purple tribulation lightning struck down fiercely!
Nathan Zhang, already in a sorry state, quickly stuffed a handful of elixirs into his mouth, staring at the descending tribulation lightning with confident laughter: “Hahaha! Come on!”
Boom!
The nine bolts of tribulation lightning struck the Lightning Defense Formation, and moments later, the formation shattered, and the lightning struck Nathan Zhang directly!
Nathan Zhang’s face turned deathly pale, and he plummeted from the sky.
This scene left everyone in shock and fear. No way, after barely surviving the tribulation lightning, he wouldn’t fall to his death, would he…
At this moment, no one dared to help because the tribulation clouds in the sky had not dispersed. Anyone who dared to help would surely face a devastating blow!
Just then,
Nathan Zhang, using his last bit of strength, forcibly halted his falling body in mid-air!
He looked up at the sky, his body covered in blood, but his mouth stretched into a wide grin as he laughed heartily,
“I, Zhang, have crossed the Ascension Tribulation. I humbly request the Heavenly Dao to open the ascension passage!”
The world fell silent for a moment, and then the elders and disciples of the Carefree Courtyard erupted in cheers!
“Oh~! The Ancestor has crossed the Ascension Tribulation!”
Many cultivators also came to their senses, deeply shocked. Truly spectacular, they had learned a lot from today’s Ascension Tribulation.
“Congratulations to the Ancestor of the Carefree Courtyard for crossing the Ascension Tribulation!”
“Congratulations to Daoist Zhang for crossing the Ascension Tribulation!”
“……”
Countless congratulations filled the air.
The tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dispersed…
Sunlight once again bathed the earth…
A misty rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, connecting to a certain place in the Spirit Dust Realm.
Creak!
At the same time, the sound of a door opening echoed through the world.
All cultivators above the Divine Transformation stage trembled, their eyes filled with longing. They knew that the ascension passage had opened!
Misty aura descended from the rainbow bridge, falling onto Nathan Zhang, and his aura began to change…
Soon, he recovered significantly, and his body became clean.
Nathan Zhang’s figure flashed and appeared on the rainbow bridge high in the sky.
He glanced at the many elders and disciples below, a trace of reluctance in his eyes. Finally, he looked at Karl Jiang and the other two from afar, cupped his hands, and said,
“Thank you, Daoist friends, for your protection!”
Karl Jiang and the other two quickly cupped their hands and smiled, “Daoist Zhang, you’re too kind!”
They looked at the obviously different Nathan Zhang, feeling deeply moved.
“From now on, my Carefree Courtyard will rely on you all!”
Nathan Zhang cupped his hands again towards the countless cultivators present.
Everyone quickly returned the gesture.
Nathan Zhang smiled, glanced at the Carefree Courtyard, and finally turned decisively, disappearing on the rainbow bridge with a single step, leaving only his voice echoing back: “Daoist friends, I shall go first. See you in the Immortal Realm!”
“Farewell, Ancestor!!”
“Farewell, Ancestor of the Carefree Courtyard!”
Instantly, countless elders and disciples of the Carefree Courtyard knelt in reluctance, and the other cultivators also cupped their fists and bowed.
At the same time,
Old Turtle suddenly looked at Chu Xiruo and said, “You should go to the ascension passage quickly!”
Chu Xiruo: “?”
“Daoist Turtle, what do you mean… If you don’t go, I can’t make it through alone.” Chu Xiruo glanced at the meditating Ambrose Lu, speaking helplessly.
Old Turtle said speechlessly, “The master is already waiting for you at the ascension passage.”
“Uh.” Chu Xiruo glanced at Ambrose Lu, who was clearly still sitting on the chair, then looked at Old Turtle, full of confusion.
What the hell?
“Believe it or not, you’d better go quickly. If you don’t, the master will take Nathan Zhang to the Immortal Realm first, and you’ll have to stay in the Spirit Dust Realm. As for the ascension passage, don’t worry, with the master there, Grandpa Turtle is dispensable.”
Old Turtle finished speaking teasingly and couldn’t be bothered with her anymore.
Chu Xiruo’s eyes changed slightly. She glanced at Ambrose Lu, recalled his previous methods, and a look of determination appeared on her face. She said a word and then disappeared in a flash!
“Daoist Turtle, see you later!”
At the same time, the still-shocked Jose Shen and Grand Elder Mark Gu received an urgent message!
“Ancestor, Grand Elder, Elder Gu, the Monster Realm is attacking the mortal world! It’s all monsters, countless monsters, many empires have already fallen, please come back quickly!!!”
