"Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully consuming nine Lightning Evasion Pills. The pills have been absorbed by the five spiritual roots. Ancient Five Elemental Arts' secret manual – God of Hell's Compulsion has been activated!"
The system beep rang out in Xu Que's head.
He paused for a moment before his eyes widened in shock.
The Ancient Five Elemental Arts had such a magical effect? The secret manual was activated and the most important thing was that it was free of charge!
What was going on?
"System … System, is my luck off the charts? Every time I consume a pill, there are benefits! "
"The Ancient Five Elemental Arts was one of the strongest skills in the ancient times. Because it was so powerful, it was punished by the heavens. This caused the host to face Heavenly Tribulations to be more difficult than others. If the host is careless, the host will die. The system's mission is to protect the host's survival. Hence, the requirements for skills and rewards will be lowered slightly. "
"Damn, no wonder! I was wondering why the skills in the system store were so cheap. Turns out the requirements were lowered on purpose. Not bad, system. You're really different from those cheap systems out there who want to kill the host for no reason and cut off the host's d * ck! "
Xu Que was elated as he checked out the secret manual for the Ancient Five Elemental Arts!
"God of Hell's Compulsion":
One of the secret manuals for the Ancient Five Elemental Arts. Requires the user to absorb the essences of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder and Ice. Using these to refine the physical body, the user will be able to achieve great success.
Eternally immortal, tear through the void, and move with ease!
(Note: This skill is extremely difficult and requires a large amount of Spiritual Qi!)
"Absorbing the essences of eight different types of Spiritual Qi to achieve great success?" Xu Que nodded his head in realization. This was a long and arduous path of cultivation!
"Boom!"
At this point, another loud explosion rang out in the sky!
Xu Que turned his head and saw Su Ling Er standing on an altar made of lightning and was about to be tempered by the heavenly lightning!
In front of such a violent and powerful force, Su Ling Er's body looked extremely small and petite.
The gigantic lightning bolt crashed onto her body, almost sending her flying. However, after refining the Lightning Evasion Pill, Su Ling Er managed to withstand this lightning tribulation.
Xu Que was slightly startled. "Why is this girl so impatient? She didn't wait for me to wake up before going up."
"Ai, my friend Sun, you've finally woken up." At this point, several Sky Demon Tribe members heard Xu Que's voice and turned around to look at him.
Xu Que recognized them and said happily, "You guys are so slow. By the way, where is Su Xiao Qi? Where did she go?"
When they heard this, their faces immediately became bitter and angry!
Soon after, the few of them explained how Su Xiao Qi had been kidnapped by the Thousand Demons Tribe and how they had used her to threaten Su Ling Er.
When Xu Que heard this, he was infuriated. His face darkened as he asked coldly, "Where are the Thousand Demons Tribe members?"
"This … My friend Sun, please don't do anything stupid." One of the elders tried to persuade him.
"That's right. They have the advantage in numbers. Especially that Tiger Tiger King. He's allied with many other tribes. This time, we have no choice but to compromise."
"That's right. Where there's life, there's hope. We don't know where Su Xiao Qi is now. If we provoke them, they will definitely fight to the death."
"Yes, let's wait for the Great King to complete his Tribulations. It's already the fifth lightning bolt. Just one more and he'll succeed!"
"But the Great King … seems like he can't hold on much longer!"
As they spoke, their faces were filled with worry.
Xu Que turned his head to look at the altar in the sky. He didn't take a closer look earlier. Now that he had a closer look, he could see that Su Ling Er's face was extremely pale. Her face was devoid of blood, as if she had suffered a serious injury.
"Boom!"
At this point, the sixth lightning bolt struck down.
That frightening bolt of lightning that seemed to be tearing apart the void was like an ancient giant serpent, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards Su Ling 'er.
Xu Que's heart skipped a beat. If he were to face this lightning bolt alone, without the Spirit Visage, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But Su Ling Er was different. When it came to killing people, her abilities might not be as good as Xu Que's. However, she was after all, a powerhouse of the Original Infant Stage. Against the Tribulations, she had the advantage in terms of physical strength.
Raising her hands, she conjured a series of spells and forcefully defended against the lightning bolt.
Unfortunately, in front of the sixth bolt of lightning, Su Ling 'er was still very weak.
"Let me help her!" Xu Que couldn't bear to watch any longer and prepared to lend a helping hand.
However, an elder immediately stopped him. His face was full of fear, "You mustn't, my friend Sun. If you go up, not only will the Tribulations hurt you, it will also think that the Great King has found a helper and increase its strength."
"That's right. Besides, the altar is covered with restrictive spells. When someone is undergoing Tribulations, outsiders cannot enter."
...
When Xu Que heard this, his face fell.
I can't help her? So I can only watch helplessly?
"Boom!"
At this point, the lightning bolt had already arrived and landed heavily on Su Ling Er's body. Her entire being was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. She flew straight out of the altar and landed on the ground!
"Great King!" The few elders' faces fell as they shouted out loudly.
Xu Que's eyelids twitched as well. He was about to release the restrictive spells on his cultivation level and rush over to save her.
However, before he could make a move, Su Ling Er, who was in mid-air, stabilized her body and slowly descended to the ground.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, she slowly walked towards Xu Que.
The few Original Infant Stage cultivators heaved a sigh of relief, "Great King, it's good that you're alright. The situation just now was too dangerous."
"I almost thought you wouldn't be able to pass it. I didn't expect the six waves of Tribulations to be so strong!"
"Luckily, I managed to pass it. After a few days of rest, I will be able to break through to the Infant Transformation Stage. As for the new Demon King's position, there's no need to fight for it!"
"..."
Su Ling Er didn't say a word as she walked towards Xu Que with a pale face. She opened her mouth and a stream of fresh blood flowed out.
"Not good!"
"Great King, you …" The few Sky Demon Tribe elders were visibly shaken.
Xu Que hurriedly supported Su Ling Er as he purchased a Blood Core Pill from the system store and stuffed it into her mouth. He then spoke out in a deep voice, "Sit down and recuperate from your injuries! Leave Xiao Qi to me! "
Su Ling Er looked at Xu Que solemnly for several seconds before nodding her head gently. She then allowed Xu Que to support her to sit down on the ground as she started to meditate and recuperate.
This time, her injuries were too severe!
The few Sky Demon Tribe elders had extremely ugly looks on their faces as they spoke out angrily, "If it wasn't for the Thousand Demons Tribe threatening us, our Great King wouldn't have to be the first one to undergo the Tribulations. She wouldn't have to suffer from the additional pressure."
"It's only because of her good luck that she managed to survive. If her luck wasn't good, she might have failed the Tribulations!"
"Damn it …"
The few of them glared coldly at a corner of the crowd.
Xu Que stood up and looked over as well. It was a group of strange looking demonic humans. Only two of them looked normal.
One of them had a tiger's tail and was of the Full Foundation Original Infant Stage. He must be the Tiger King of Dragon Stripes!
The other one looked similar to him but his cultivation level was much lower. He had a pair of tiger's ears and was probably the twin brother of the Tiger King.
The two of them and the group of people behind them wore mocking looks on their faces as they gloated at Xu Que's misfortune.
Before long, the Tiger King with a tail behind him stepped out!
Under the cheers of the crowd, he leaped up into the skies and stepped onto the Lightning Altar!
"Wow, the Tiger King is going to undergo the Tribulations!"
"I never expected that the two strongest Kings would appear one after the other!"
"It's a pity that Su Ling Er was too anxious to be the first one and was injured by the unstable pressure of the Tribulations. She wasn't able to activate the Lightning Pools!"
"Looks like the position of the new Demon Sovereign is going to belong to the Tiger King."
The crowd started to exclaim in shock.
Xu Que looked on coldly from the sidelines, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
You want to undergo the Tribulations? Hehe, if I don't skin you alive and spit out a few liters of blood, my name isn't Xu Que!
