The dragon's cry was endless, growing louder and louder. Although it was formless and traceless, Li Qingshan seemed to see a golden dragon rampaging through the sea of thunder, interrupting the majestic laws of the heavens.
In that instant, there was an illusion of tranquility.
Li Qingshan could not help but hold his breath. He had once seen the situation when the King of Mirage Sea ascended. The heavenly tribulation of ascension was not just this, or in other words, the true heavenly tribulation of ascension had just begun.
At the center of the ring-shaped tribulation cloud, a white pillar of light descended from the sky, bombarding the Golden Cicada Spirit King.
Boom!
Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes. Just Now, he could see clearly that the white pillar of light was the amalgamation of thousands of bolts of lightning, and that boom was the amalgamation of thousands of bolts of lightning. It shook the air violently, shaking the mind.
That terrifying power shocked even him — it was as if the heavens had been angered!
The Golden Cicada Spirit King, who was curled up like a baby, gradually put his palms together. With a dignified expression, he continued to chant the Chant of Deva-Nāga, but only he could hear it. However, that speck of golden light was never extinguished by the lightning. Instead, it went against the light, slowly but firmly ascending.
Li Qingshan stood at the edge of the tribulation cloud, gazing at this magnificent spectacle. He thought to himself, "This is what I will soon face! However, it seems like this guy owes me a gift. "
Just as he was wondering if the Golden Cicada Spirit King had forgotten, or was just bluffing him, he suddenly heard a familiar hum.
After the mountain protruding from the earth had been bombarded by the tribulation lightning, a huge crater had appeared in its place. The sound came from the crater, and the hum grew louder and louder. Even the thunder could not suppress it.
Immediately after, black smoke rose into the sky!
That was the gathering of millions of locusts. Like moths to a flame, they pounced toward the blazing white pillar of light.
Of course, this was not to help the Golden Cicada Spirit King share the damage of the tribulation. As the swarm of insects swarmed in, the lightning grew brighter and brighter, and the pillar of light grew stronger.
This was the test of heaven. No one could avoid it. Relying on external objects was futile. At this time, only one's lifebound item was worth using. If one wanted to use a powerful formation to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, it would only make the Heavenly Tribulation stronger, and the power of the Heavens was endless.
The Soaring Locust King was taking advantage of this to increase the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. It was so big that the Golden Cicada Spirit King could not bear it.
"He's finally here!" Li Qingshan sniggered. He took out a communication pendant in the shape of a magatama. He called out, "Little Ann, Little Ann, the food delivery is here. Come here quickly! "These bugs were the best fuel for the Samādhi White Bone Fire.
However, he didn't receive any response. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. She must be focusing on her cultivation. Although it was a pity, he alone was enough to deal with this situation.
Seeing that the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was getting stronger and stronger, Li Qingshan no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath until his belly bulged out and blew hard. A gust of wind whistled out, twisting and twisting like a thousand-mile-long snake, sweeping away the swarm of insects!
The black swarm of insects was as firm as a boulder. Although they had suffered a head-on attack, they were still doing their best to approach the lightning.
"Let me lend you a hand!"
Gu Yanying flew to Li Qingshan's side and opened her jade folding fan. With a light wave, gusts of strong wind merged into the gust of wind. The power of the gust of wind increased dramatically in an instant. Before the swarm of insects could approach the lightning, they were sucked into the gust of wind and crushed to pieces. Immediately, the Soaring Locust King's attack was suppressed.
"Thanks," Li Qingshan said telepathically.
"Where's Little Ann?" Gu Yanying asked.
"I don't know. He's probably still cultivating. But we're enough." Li Qingshan shrugged.
At this moment, the Golden Cicada Spirit King looked over and nodded slightly, as if expressing his gratitude.
Li Qingshan waved his hand and decided not to care about the gift anymore. However, the Golden Cicada Spirit King's figure began to change gradually. Its tender skin became stiff and translucent. One could vaguely see that the Golden Cicada Spirit King was no longer in human form. It had turned into a carapace, wriggling under that layer of translucent golden skin.
This kind of change did not make people feel strange. Instead, it revealed a sense of holiness, like a gentleman transforming into a leopard, or a phoenix rising from the ashes.
"That is …"
"Cicada Shedding!" Gu Yanying blurted out. She smiled at Li Qingshan beside her and said, "Looks like it's for you!"
Li Qingshan praised in his heart. The Golden Cicada Spirit King was indeed trustworthy. This golden cicada shedding was obviously a good thing.
At this time, the swarm of insects had begun to retreat and returned to the underground cave. He suddenly felt a little strange. Things were going too smoothly. Up until now, he had not sensed the Soaring Locust King's true form.
"Could it be that the Soaring Locust King has given up on revenge against the Golden Cicada Spirit King?"
He immediately rejected this idea. The Soaring Locust King was obviously not that broad-minded.
"Or it's afraid of being involved in the Divine Catastrophe and being intercepted by me, so it's hiding deep underground to control the swarm of insects."
This was very possible.
"The Soaring Locust King is not here." Gu Yanying frowned.
"How do you know?" Li Qingshan asked immediately.
"Too weak. It shouldn't be this weak. It's like a formation without a core. It looks like it's operating, but it can't even exert half of its power." Gu Yanying lowered her eyebrows and pondered.
"Maybe he knows he's not a match for me, so he doesn't dare to show up." Li Qingshan said. This was the most reasonable guess.
"In terms of power alone, I'm afraid only the Banyan Tree King can surpass him in the world. If he's really determined to fight, we might not be able to stop him. "Gu Yanying said.
"Is that so?" Li Qingshan was surprised. He had never fought with the Soaring Locust King face to face.
"Yes. In the past, when the locust plague swept through Qingzhou, no one could stop it. It wasn't just because of caution. At that time, the Soaring Locust King was not so cautious. He once gathered the swarm of insects to fight against the army of Chu. Although it ended in failure, that kind of terrifying power was enough to be recorded in the history books. His main body may not be strong, but once he gathered millions of insects, he could fight against an entire country. Such a weak attack is meaningless. "
"Could it be that it's just a bluff, a diversion, and that the focus of his attack isn't here?"
Li Qingshan thought of Little Ann who did not respond. He was a little worried, but he felt that it was unlikely. Even if the Soaring Locust King was really that stupid, Little Ann was not that weak. Moreover, if she really was in danger, she would naturally ask him for help. Their communication pendants were one Yin and one Yang. If one was damaged, both would be damaged. Even if the domain was sealed and messages could not be sent, they could still ask each other for help.
"I can't think of a target more important to the Soaring Locust King than the Golden Cicada Spirit King," Gu Yanying said.
"No, there might be one." Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Yanying continued, "The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga! But that's not impossible. Most of the insects are gathered here. That can't be wrong. The Soaring Locust King definitely isn't the four guardian kings' opponent with his main body's strength. "
At this moment, the Golden Cicada Spirit King used the might of the heavenly tribulation to break free from his cicada shell bit by bit.
"Perhaps we're thinking too much." Li Qingshan stood with his arms crossed. "Perhaps he'll emerge from underground in the next moment!"
