Before Qin Fen finished his sentence, there was another loud sound in the sky.
It turned out that the lightning streak was just the beginning. The first wave of the Lightning Tribulation wasn't just one lightning bolt. Two more blazing white lightning streaks as thick as a human's waist fell.
Hong Chen Wu was dumbfounded. She even forgot to hide in the defense array. Qin Fen didn't have time to urge her. He immediately threw out hundreds of array flags.
The array flags fell to the ground like flowers scattered by a fairy. They instantly formed a white light that shot into the sky. The white light was like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding the lightning streak into the Lightning Storage Array.
Qin Fen had set up the most Lightning Storage Arrays. They almost filled the entire cave abode. He was glad that he had held back. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether Hong Ming could survive the Lightning Tribulation, not to mention the outside world's influence on Hong Ming's breakthrough.
Rumble!
When the lightning streak fell to the ground, it surged wildly in the Lightning Storage Array. The ground shook and the array was instantly filled to the brim. It felt like it was going to explode at any time.
Hongchen Wu's beautiful eyes were wide open, and her face was filled with disbelief. The Thunder Storage Formation formed a layer of air around it, trapping the sea of lightning. That air layer bulged, and its surface was as thin as a cicada's wings. It looked as if it would break with a single tap of a finger.
"Qin Fen, will we be blown up in the cave abode?" Hong Chen Wu didn't even dare to blink. She was afraid that the lightning streak would rush out the moment she closed her eyes.
Qin Fen was sweating profusely. He kept guiding the extra lightning source into other Lightning Storage Arrays. He realized that the hundreds of Lightning Storage Arrays he had set up were not enough.
"Young Hero Qin, quickly take Chen Wu and leave this place. With your cultivation level, you won't be able to survive the True Form Lightning Tribulation."
Hong Ming's voice traveled over. He didn't open his mouth to speak. Instead, he used his Quintessential Essence to transmit his voice.
Under such a fierce Lightning Tribulation attack, Hong Ming couldn't even protect himself. He couldn't divert his attention to protect Qin Fen and Hong Chen Wu. He even regretted breaking through to the True Form Realm so hastily. Although the elixir poison in his body had been removed and he had sufficient spirit source to support his breakthrough, he had neglected a more serious problem. He hadn't been prepared for the True Form Lightning Tribulation.
However, it was too late to say anything now. Hong Ming felt like he was being forced to do something beyond his ability. If he stopped breaking through midway, his cultivation level wouldn't improve in the future.
"Chen Wu, quickly hide in the defensive formation. I'll help Senior overcome the tribulation," Qin Fen shouted.
Hongchen Wu snapped out of her daze and subconsciously jumped into the spell formation. Qin Fen, on the other hand, was still outside the spell formation, throwing out spell formation flags to attract lightning into the spell formation.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
The thunder in the sky gradually subsided, the gale abruptly stopped, and the spiritual rain was fine. It was as if nothing had happened.
However, Hongchen Wu knew very well that the might of the lightning tribulation just now could be described as devastating. The abode in front of her had collapsed a long time ago, and it was completely unrecognizable. Thunder rumbled within the lightning accumulating formation like the roars of ancient beasts.
"Young Hero Qin, y-you blocked the first wave of the lightning tribulation?" Hong Ming's voice trembled. He had already made preparations to welcome the lightning, but he realized that the lightning tribulation had already disappeared.
Qin Fen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted being careless. He had thought that the divine punishment of a truth realisation state cultivator was just so so. No matter how powerful it was, it could not compare to the power of the Nine Change True Lightning. However, after seeing it, his horizons had been broadened. This was no different from a divine punishment that would kill.
However, Qin Fen was only shocked. He did not retreat or feel fear.
After all, he was a man who had survived the Nine Change True Lightning multiple times. Furthermore, when he had been exploring the 13 palaces of the South Pingzhou State, he had experienced the Dark Night of Death lightning on the Mountain of Life. The black lightning that filled the sky was like an infinite killing intent in the dark night. It was also one of the nine divine punishment lightning tribulations. He had also survived it and successfully reached the peak of the Mountain of Life. He had taken the Tree of Life.
After experiencing the Dark Night of Death and the recent true realisation state lightning tribulation, Qin Fen suddenly had an epiphany.
He realized that the lightning tribulation also had room for growth. For example, every time he broke through, he triggered the Nine Change True Lightning. As his realm broke through, the lightning tribulation became more and more ferocious. He could not help but wonder how terrifying the destructive power would be once the Nine Change True Lightning completely matured.
"Senior Hong Ming, don't worry. I'm a level-seven Array King. There are still some Thunder Storage Arrays in the cave abode. They can help you withstand a few more waves of lightning tribulation. As for the last few waves, I'm afraid you'll have to withstand them yourself."
After hearing Qin Fen's words, Hong Ming almost broke through and failed the tribulation transcendence. He had been shocked by Qin Fen's skills time and time again. Although Hong Chen Wu had told him that Qin Fen could set up arrays and forge weapons, Hong Ming had only thought that Qin Fen was a beginner array master. He had never imagined that he would actually be a level-seven Array King.
A level-seven Elixir King and a level-seven Array King!
Hong Ming's heart started to race. It was only now that he truly realized what a terrifying and monstrous son-in-law the little girl had found. This son-in-law could be considered the number one genius in Charm City.
Hong Ming quickly calmed himself down. He knew that this was not the time to be emotional. There were still dozens of destructive lightning tribulations waiting for him.
Hong Ming, who did not have much hope of withstanding the lightning tribulation, was reignited. He realized that not only was Qin Fen the little girl's savior, but he was also his savior.
On the second Devil Peak, everyone looked up at the sky.
"Eh? Why did the lightning tribulation stop? "
"Ling Yu is gone too. I just touched the threshold of breaking through, and now it's gone."
"Could it be that the Red Tea Demon King has successfully attained the True Form Realm? The Black Demon Clan will return to its glory! "
"What are you thinking? Even the most ordinary Void Spirit Realm lightning tribulation requires 36 lightning bolts. The Red Tea Demon King is breaking through to the True Form Realm. The lightning tribulation will be at least nine to one."
…
The clansmen of the Black Demon Clan could not suppress their excitement. It was as if they were the one undergoing the tribulation and not Hong Ming.
However, many clansmen were jealous and even hoped that Hong Ming would fail the tribulation transcendence.
At that moment, a few black figures flew over the second Devil Peak and landed in the sea of lightning in the valley. Although Qin Fen had directed most of the lightning tribulation into the Thunder Storage Array, a small portion of the power of the lightning had spread into the valley outside the cave abode.
Rumble!
As soon as the red pattern landed, a bolt of lightning exploded under his feet. He was so shocked that he flew hundreds of meters away. He cursed in shock, "Damn it! This True Form Realm lightning tribulation is too fierce … Father, are we really going to charge in now? Why don't we wait for a few more waves of lightning tribulation? Hong Ming might be struck to death by the lightning tribulation himself. "
Twelve people landed in the valley. Besides the team led by Hong Tian, there was also a tall and muscular man with fiery red hair leading the team. The man looked very similar to Hong Tian. He was Hong Tian and Hong Ming's third brother, Hong Xu.
"Third brother, what do you think?" Hong Tian was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he asked for Hong Xu's opinion.
Hong Xu was constantly emitting a ferocious Quintessential Essence. Coupled with his ferocious expression, no one dared to approach him. "Hmph! Hong Ming should have died a long time ago. Why wait for him to die in the lightning tribulation? Then, a new Demon King would have to be elected. It would be really troublesome. "
A cold look flashed across Hong Tian's eyes. How could he not see his third brother's ambition? Hong Ming was also tempted to become the Demon King. However, the person who had taken over was Big Brother Hong Ming. If it was him, he believed that Hong Xu would also want to kill Hong Xu.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, third brother." Hong Tian pretended not to know.
Hong Xu laughed coldly. "Heh! Second brother, since we are standing here together, we are temporarily on the same boat. There is no need to hide anything … "
"What I mean is that we should first team up and kill big brother. Whoever can personally take down big brother's head will become the new Demon King. The party who fails must not have any other thoughts. We must unconditionally support the other party to become the new Demon King … If second brother has no objections, then we will act immediately."
This Hong Xu was even more vicious than Hong Tian. No matter what, Hong Ming was his big brother. However, he wanted to take down his big brother's head.
Even Hong Tian felt a chill in his heart. He even regretted teaming up with his third brother. This guy was really abnormal. He had to be on guard against him at all times.
"Alright! Then let's do as third brother says. "Hong Tian hesitated for a while before agreeing.
Hong Xu laughed wildly. He flipped his hand and a machete appeared in his hand. He swung it down towards Hong Ming's cave dwelling.
"Haha! Today is the day that big brother dies. In the future, I will still burn joss paper for big brother on this day every year. "
Rumble!
A loud noise shook the heavens.
The already dilapidated cave dwelling collapsed in an instant.
A cloud of dust flew. The cave dwelling was no longer what it used to be. It had become a ruin.
"Haha! Big brother! Long time no see. What are you doing? "Hong Xu rested the machete on his shoulder and looked at Hong Ming, who was in the dust, with a playful smile.
Hong Ming was furious. However, she was trapped by the lightning tribulation and didn't have the mood to fight him.
"Third uncle? What are you doing here? "Hong Chen Wu's expression was cold.
Qin Fen had said that there would be people from the Black Demon Clan coming to cause trouble. Moreover, it wasn't just Hong Tian and Hong Wen. Hong Chen Wu didn't believe him. After all, they were from the same clan. However, when she saw Hong Xu standing arrogantly in front of her, she had no choice but to accept this reality.
"Oh! Chen Wu, you're here too. Since I'm your third uncle, I won't kill you today. After I kill your father, I will become the new Demon King of the Black Demon Clan. At that time, you will be my maid and serve me every night. "
"You …" Hong Chen Wu was so angry that she couldn't speak. She couldn't imagine that her third uncle would say such inhumane words.
Pu!
Hong Ming spat out a mouthful of blood. He was so angry that he lost control of his cultivation.
As the True Essence in his body became chaotic, the dense spiritual clouds above his head started to dissipate. The subsequent lightning tribulation couldn't strike down.
"Senior Hong Ming, don't mind that pervert's words. He's purposely angering you and causing you to go berserk," Qin Fen said quickly.
Hong Xu's expression changed slightly. His gaze landed on Qin Fen. If Qin Fen hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have noticed Qin Fen's existence.
"Eh? Where did a cauldron filling ant like you come from? You don't look like someone from our Black Demon Clan, "Hong Xu said coldly.
"Qin Fen is our benefactor. You better not act recklessly." Hong Chen Wu could already feel the murderous intent from Hong Xu.
However, her words were useless. Hong Xu even dared to kill Hong Ming. Why would he listen to her?
