Chapter 165: Chapter 101: Even if Heaven and Earth Shatter Before My Eyes_2
Upon hearing these words, everyone fell into a moment of silence before discussions erupted among them, causing a commotion.
“What?! Elder Ming, he’s actually going to break through to the Cave Void Realm?!”
“I heard Elder Ming has been in seclusion for several years. During this time, even the Book Storage Pavilion was guarded by Elder Chuyun. So, Elder Ming was attempting a breakthrough in seclusion?!”
“That’s wonderful! Elder Ming, who has mastered the sword intent, is a powerful sword cultivator. Once he breaks through to the Cave Void Realm, even if he is within the Cave Void Realm, he will be a formidable figure, right? Our White Cloud Sect is going to soar!”
“…”
Disciples showed faces full of surprise.
Donggong Ming Yue’s expression also stagnated, then she exclaimed, “Elder Ming is actually going to break through to the Cave Void Realm?”
Lu Yi nodded slightly, smiling lightly, “Mhm.”
“That’s great, our White Cloud Sect will soon become a sect with a Cave Void Cultivator!” Donggong Ming Yue was very happy.
Boom!
During their conversation, a beam of sword light shot up to the sky, transforming into streaming light and flying towards the outside of the sect.
As the sword light traveled, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds began to gather at an extremely fast speed, with faint thunder rumbling within them.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned, then someone exclaimed, “It’s Heavenly Tribulation! Elder Ming is going to cross the Heavenly Tribulation!”
“Let’s go and see!”
Many cultivators flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Ling Luo Peak Master also spoke, “Let’s go together. Observing a great cultivator cross the Heavenly Tribulation might bring some enlightenment.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Yi, who was capable of enduring Heavenly Thunder and achieving sudden enlightenment in cultivation techniques simultaneously.
Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue couldn’t help but turn their eyes toward Lu Yi as well.
Lu Yi, feeling their gazes, looked innocent, “What’s the matter?”
The three remained silent.
At that moment, Lu Yi thought of something and said to himself, “I want to observe Elder Ming cross the Tribulation.”
[Task]
Observe Elder Ming Crossing the Tribulation
Reward: Increase of half a stage in sword intent and Thunder Intent.
Accept: Yes/No
Upon seeing the reward, Lu Yi was taken aback, then overjoyed.
By now, increasing half a stage in sword intent and Thunder Intent had been taking a long while, and he hadn’t expected that a single task could achieve this.
The reward was indeed generous.
Lu Yi quickly accepted the task.
The sword light reached a wasteland outside of the White Cloud Mountain Range, and others didn’t dare get too close, to avoid being swept into the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Cave Void Thunder Tribulation was no joke, even a Divinity Transformation cultivator entering it would basically be obliterated directly.
Wu Qingfeng and other Divinity Transformation cultivators were also present.
Wu Qingfeng shouted, “Elders, let us together protect Elder Ming!”
Many Divinity Transformation Elders and Nascent Soul Elders nodded, circling around the dark clouds, surrounding Elder Ming from the inside.
The dark clouds spread rapidly from a few hundred meters to several kilometers, and finally stopped after expanding to eighty kilometers.
Watching the Thunder Tribulation spanning eighty kilometers, Wu Qingfeng couldn’t help but take in a breath of cold air, “Eighty kilometers of thunder clouds, this Heavenly Tribulation is incredibly powerful.”
Elder Xuan was not even guarding the Trial Tower. A faint smile appeared on his aging face, “Elder Ming has a deep comprehension of the sword intent, and he has probably made further progress during seclusion. With such strength, the Heavenly Tribulation he attracts is naturally extraordinary.”
“Elder Xuan, do you think there’s a chance for Elder Ming to cross the Heavenly Tribulation?”
“Let’s watch, I’m not sure.” Elder Xuan sighed softly, his gaze fixated on the figure standing in the center of the thunderstorm like a sword.
Lu Yi also watched that figure resembling a sword, feeling the sword intent released by Elder Ming, and was somewhat surprised, “Elder Ming’s sword intent has greatly improved.”
“Indeed, it has significantly improved.” Even Ling Luo Peak Master nodded, “It’s starting.”
Suddenly, Lu Yi’s body stiffened, and he felt as if the sky was collapsing onto him.
Boom!!
A thunderclap resounded, and Lu Yi’s vision was filled only with dark clouds and the figure beneath them. From within the clouds, a purple Heavenly Thunder struck down, like a divine sword, slashing towards the diminutive figure below.
The terrifying Heavenly Dao Pressure made many Foundation Establishment cultivators tremble, unable to even wield their swords, directly falling from the sky and collapsing on the ground.
Donggong Ming Yue, who had broken the Heavenly Dao Limitation three times, supported Lu Yi’s arm and hugged him, her face deathly pale.
Even she had some difficulty enduring such pressure from the Heavenly Dao.
Lu Yi’s entire awareness was occupied by the Heavenly Thunder and Elder Ming below; he didn’t even feel the soft touch from Donggong Ming Yue.
He saw Elder Ming unsheath his sword as a clear and piercing sword cry even overshadowed the thunder.
A beam of cold light, like moonlight, streaked across the sky, directly meeting the Heavenly Thunder.
In an instantaneous silence, the terrifying Heavenly Thunder was torn apart from the middle and fell to either side, sparing Elder Ming.
With one sword, he split the Heavenly Thunder.
This scene shook everyone’s hearts, imprinting in the minds of all present cultivators, especially the sword cultivators who clenched their swords tightly, the swords resonating with their turbulent feelings.
Lu Yi’s mind seemed to be swept across by that moon-like sword, leaving him stunned in place.
In his Dantian, the Seven-colored Spiritual Energy Vortex began to spin rapidly, with Tao sounds echoing in his mind, replaying that sword strike, yet also recalling the times he faced the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, breaking its limitation.
Facing the grim pressure of the Heavenly Dao and still pressing forward, that was a kind of tenacity, an unyielding spirit.
It was an audacity to act even when knowing it was impossible, and a decisiveness to never regret even at death.
