Chapter 414 - 371, Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation
The elder suddenly opened his eyes wide, raised his head in shock, and looked at the thunderclouds. Is this the Heavenly Demon Tribulation? Why is there such a commotion? Could it be that my tribulation corresponds to a Demon King? A sense of despair arose in his heart; is there really no way out?! To think that I did not provoke karma in my daily life, accumulating virtue and performing good deeds, yet I still end up being invaded by a Heavenly Demon?
An indescribable fluctuation emerged around the elder, and a phantom-like Heavenly Demon flew out from the void and instantly entered the elder’s body.
The elder’s face changed immediately; he became stunned on the spot, his eyes revealing a black gleam, and traces of Demonic Qi emitting from his body.
All the surrounding Cultivators who were watching stood solemnly. This was it; the Heavenly Demon Tribulation had begun.
Thunder roared above in the sky, and a bolt of lightning, like a sharp sword shot from the sky, illuminating between Heaven and Earth, instantly piercing through the elder.
"Ah~"
"Ga~~"
...
Two miserable screams emerged simultaneously from the brilliant thunderbolt, one from the elder himself and the other from the Heavenly Demon. Thunderbolts, by nature powerful, repel demons and were very effective against the Heavenly Demon, taking it by complete surprise.
The elder fell face up at the peak of the mountain, his body slightly twitching while emitting black smoke, but his eyes had already regained clarity.
From afar, the spectating Cultivators were in an uproar. What was going on? The Heavenly Demon Tribulation shouldn’t be like this, why did the thunderbolt strike down?
A lady in red muttered, "I’ve heard that during thunderstorms, standing too high makes it more likely to be struck by lightning. Could it be because Xuan Songzi stood too high?"
