Lu Changsheng didn’t look much, he immediately closed his eyes and focused on operating the cultivation technique.
After the Dan Shattering Infant emerged, his Core Formation magical power could transform through the Nascent Soul spirit body into Nascent Soul level magical power.
Though time was limited, and a complete transformation was impossible.
Yet, even transforming one-tenth would be a massive improvement.
After all, compared to Nascent Soul magical power, Core Formation magical power is like a wooden stick versus a steel knife. .
There is a qualitative difference between the two!
"Hoo hoo hoo!!!"
Under the power of the Nascent Soul, the nature’s spiritual energy from all directions, along with the earth veins’ energy, roared towards Lu Changsheng more fiercely and were refined by him, transformed into Nascent Soul magical power.
As time passed, the heavenly lightning tribulation constantly brewed, the sky was filled with dark clouds intertwining with terrifying celestial might and destructive power.
"This heavenly lightning tribulation, why..."
Yun Wanshang felt the ominous qi within the tribulation cloud, sensing something was amiss.
How could Lu Changsheng’s tribulation be of a higher level than hers?
Though there’s typically some variance in cultivators’ heavenly tribulations, the gap should not be this wide.
Even if Lu Changsheng’s Golden Core was a higher level than her Immortal Golden Core, the tribulation’s power at most should only be twenty to thirty percent greater, right?
It wasn’t just Yun Wanshang.
Hong Lian also noticed something was wrong.
Lu Changsheng’s tribulation far exceeded that of an average cultivator’s tribulation.
"Is it the influence of my lord’s Fourth Rank Body Refinement?"
Hong Lian pondered in her mind, suspecting that besides Lu Changsheng’s Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core and constitution, it also had something to do with his Fourth Rank Body Refinement.
After all, except for pure ancient body cultivators, almost none went through Fourth Rank Body Refining before forming a Nascent Soul.
If one had such body refining talent, why bother pursuing the path of Qi Refinement?
Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge had never seen a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation; they felt its terrifying celestial might was indeed frightening, no wonder historically, those who could break through to Nascent Soul were so few.
Foundation Establishment and Core Formation might still see plenty of cultivators seeking a slim chance, but reaching Nascent Soul, one would almost never see it.
One could only say, before a Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, there’s no such thing as luck!
Anyone able to break through to Nascent Soul, even a Human Nascent Soul, is a true dragon or phoenix among people!
"Screech!!!"
At this moment, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror in Hong Lian’s arms suddenly trembled lightly, while the distant Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng screeched and roared.
Demon King!
A Fourth Rank Demon King is approaching!
From the distant horizon, a cloud formation resembling a rolling thunderstorm surged forward, forming a terrifying rumble.
Thunder Roc!
Through the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, Hong Lian identified this as a three-eyed Thunder Roc.
The eagle’s head bore dragon-like purple lightning mane, its body covered in mysterious ancient thunder patterns, every feather seemed to condense thundercloud, purple-blue arcs of lightning flickering, obscuring the sky.
"This is the territory of this king!"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng immediately flew towards the Thunder Roc, trying to stop its approach.
"Golden Peng, why do you protect a human cultivator crossing tribulation!"
The Thunder Roc screeched, its voice like rolling thunder, questioning the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
"This is this king’s pet!"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng asserted confidently, its golden feathers shimmering brilliantly, its gaze fierce and intimidating.
This was Hong Lian’s suggestion, thinking it could save some trouble.
After all, most Demon Kings didn’t favor cultivators, especially beast taming cultivators, whom they regarded with disdain, considering it an insult to their demon race.
But if referred to as a pet, it could be viewed as the Demon King’s property, unless the other side sought to seize it.
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind.
After all, whether master or pet, he knew in his heart.
"Pet? Human cultivators are cunning, don’t be deceived by them!"
The Thunder Roc gazed at the Golden One-Horned Bear Nest, filled with the fragrant Nascent Soul qi mechanism, eyes brimming with desire.
Such a Nascent Soul qi mechanism is extraordinarily tempting to Fourth Rank Demon Kings like it.
"Golden Peng, if you hand this human cultivator over to me, this king can return the favor."
The Thunder Roc looked at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, proposing a trade, hoping to negotiate.
Because it could sense the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was quite extraordinary and preferred not to provoke it unnecessarily.
"Get lost!" The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s voice was icy, its aura surging, causing the surrounding air to feel sliced apart. freewebnoveℓ.com
Demon beasts are indeed governed by the law of survival of the fittest, relying on strength.
The Thunder Roc filled with lightning arcs, storms of lightning forming between its wings, reluctant to retreat.
Just then, Qian Zhuyan soared into the sky, around her numerous third rank puppets trembled, linking their qi mechanism with hers, forming a puppet battle array, spiritual pressure dominating.
Seeing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Qian Zhuyan before him, the Thunder Roc immediately abandoned the fragrant prey and turned away.
Hong Lian breathed a sigh of relief seeing this.
Now Lu Changsheng was about to cross tribulation, avoiding a fight was best.
Otherwise, even if they could jointly defeat a Fourth Rank Demon King, it would cause a massive commotion, affecting Lu Changsheng, or attracting other Demon Kings.
...
Under the tense mental spirits of everyone, the heavenly dome’s lightning tribulation surged turbulently.
Strands of purple-blue heavenly tribulation roared like flood dragons, baring their fangs and claws, emitting terrifying celestial might.
"Boom!"
Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Nine strands of purple-blue lightning tribulation slashed through the sky towards Lu Changsheng, who was in the Golden One-Horned Bear Nest, roaring as if to destroy heaven and earth.
"This lightning tribulation..."
Previously, Yun Wanshang and Hong Lian had noticed that Lu Changsheng’s tribulation power surpassed other Nascent Soul cultivators by one level.
Now Yun Wanshang could directly feel that Lu Changsheng’s first lightning tribulation could rival her fourth lightning tribulation!
Keep in mind, facing the third heavenly tribulation, she had to don the Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor.
And Lu Changsheng’s first heavenly tribulation was already comparable to her fourth; how terrifying would the subsequent tribulation be!?
