The Dimension Sundering Ordeal was an extremely dangerous ordeal. Logically speaking, Luo Xuanqing would have chosen to trigger the Dimension Sundering Ordeal in the Sanctum of Sages. That way, he would be able to receive the protection of Kong Shi's will and reduce his inner demons.
But now, lightning had actually been drawn out in this place. There was definitely some uncontrollable unforeseen event that attracted the lightning tribulation. Either the enemy was forced to retreat, or the enemy wanted to perish together with them.
Knowing this, Zhang Xuan did not rush forward. Instead, he activated his Eye of Insight and scanned his surroundings. A moment later, a deep frown appeared on his forehead.
There was no one around.
Could it be that he was wrong? Or could it be that the people who were fighting with him just now all retreated in fear when they saw the lightning tribulation approaching?
"Don't worry about it for now. Brother Luo is in a bad mood, and he might be in danger if he tries to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation recklessly …"
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Xuan turned his attention back to the young man beneath the lightning tribulation.
The Dimension Sundering Ordeal involved the transformations of space. Even he would not be able to overcome it easily. At this moment, Luo Xuanqing's eyes were crimson. With a single look, it was clear that there was something wrong with his mind. If he were to force his way through the Dimension Sundering Ordeal, not only would he fail, he might even lose his life.
"Let's go and save them …"
Zhang Xuan no longer cared about anything else. With a sway of his body, he charged straight at Thunder.
As soon as he flew in, two silhouettes slowly appeared less than three hundred meters away from where he had been standing.
It was as if they had been squeezed out of space, but it was also as if they did not belong to this world at all. Even if one used their divine senses to sweep over, they would not be able to find anything.
"Who is he?"
The old man in the lead was wearing a golden robe. He looked at Zhang Xuan's disappearing figure and frowned.
"Elder, this young man's name is Zhang Xuan. He's a friend that Young Master Xuanqing just met in the Sanctum of Sages. The two of them went together to search for the Dongxu Gourd, and that's how Young Master Xuanqing managed to achieve a breakthrough to Half-Dimension Sundering realm!"
The other elder behind him cupped his fists and explained.
"Zhang Xuan? The Zhang family? "The golden-robed elder was taken aback.
"Based on our investigations, he isn't a member of the Zhang clan. Instead, he came from a small kingdom, and according to rumors, he is the direct disciple of Yang shi, Yang Xuan!"
The second old man continued.
"Yang Xuan? Has this guy also started to accept students? "
The golden-robed elder shook his head in incomprehension. "Since he's his student, he should be quite knowledgeable. Why would he charge forward like that? Does he think that his Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle cultivation will be of any help to Xuan Qing? "
Transcending the tribulation required one's own efforts, and the most taboo thing was to help others.
The more people who interfered, the bigger the lightning would be. In the end, it might even become an uncontrollable situation.
That fellow might not be too strong, and he wouldn't be able to affect the Dimension Sundering Ordeal much, but if he were to charge in recklessly, not only would he be unable to help, he would even be courting death.
What was he thinking?
"Based on my investigations, Zhang Xuan is a true King of Destruction as well. Most likely, he shares the same personality as Young Master, and when he saw Zhang Xuan suffering from the lightning tribulation, he couldn't help but rush over to take a look …"
The second old man explained.
"Can't help it?" The golden-robed elder harrumphed. "He doesn't have a plan. When Xuanqing successfully transcends his tribulation, tell him not to associate with such a reckless person …"
Luo Xuanqing had always been a troublemaker, and he had never liked it in the first place. Now that he heard that Luo Xuanqing shared the same bad habits as him, he felt even more displeased.
"Yes …"
The second old man nodded.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Xuan, in the midst of his Eye of Insight, a figure had suddenly appeared before him. At this moment, he was already standing not too far away from Luo Xuanqing.
"Why are you here?"
Luo Xuanqing asked anxiously upon seeing Zhang Xuan entering the range of the lightning tribulation.
"Given your current state, it's impossible for you to succeed.
Allow me to help you … "Zhang Xuan explained.
"Help me? How can I help you with my own lightning tribulation? "
Luo Xuanqing shook his head. "You should hurry up and leave. Otherwise, once the lightning tribulation is done gathering, even I might not be able to withstand it. I won't be able to protect you at all …"
Before Luo Xuanqing could finish his words, the lightning tribulation in the sky had already finished gathering its energy, and it abruptly fell.
Kacha! Kacha!
A thick streak of lightning that spanned more than ten meters tore a black line in the air as it descended.
"Block it!"
At this point, Luo Xuanqing couldn't be bothered with the young man before him anymore as he raised his palms upward to meet the young man's attack head-on.
The might of a Half-Dimension Sundering realm cultivator collided with the lightning tribulation, shattering the surrounding space layer by layer.
Kacha!
Even though Luo Xuanqing managed to fend off most of the lightning tribulation, there was still a streak of lightning that struck his head, causing his hair to stand on end.
The Dimension Sundering Ordeal was many times stronger than the Leaving Aperture Ordeal that Zhang Xuan had summoned previously. Even though Luo Xuanqing's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching Half-Dimension Sundering realm, he still felt his body turning limp, and his zhenqi nearly dissipated.
"You should hurry up and leave. I really can't withstand this lightning tribulation …"
Luo Xuanqing's eyes reddened in agitation. He had already expended nearly half of his strength.
The Dimension Sundering Ordeal consisted of six streaks of lightning, and each one was stronger than the one before it. He was already at his limits when it came to the first one. If all of them were to fall, he really had no idea whether he would be able to withstand it.
"Don't worry about it. I'll head up to take a look …"
Paying no heed to Luo Xuanqing's words, Zhang Xuan abruptly leaped into the sky.
"You …"
Not expecting the other party to dive into the most dangerous area of the lightning tribulation in order to save him, Luo Xuanqing couldn't help but feel touched.
Friendship was revealed in the face of life and death.
Putting aside friends, even companions would choose to part ways in the face of danger. To be willing to dive into the most dangerous area in order to save him … Zhang Shi was indeed a true man!
It can't be that … he likes men?
Luo Xuanqing suddenly recalled a matter, and his body shuddered.
Ever since they had met, Zhang Shi had treated him exceptionally well, far surpassing that of an ordinary friend … Could it be that the other party really had designs on him?
In any case, I would rather die than submit to you …
Shaking his head, Luo Xuanqing hurriedly recuperated his zhenqi so that he could withstand the second lightning tribulation.
"That fellow … is he insane?"
Luo Xuanqing wasn't the only one who was shocked. The two elders outside were dumbfounded as well.
They had seen others fending off lightning tribulations together, and they had seen others putting their lives on the line to protect their loved ones … But never had they seen someone charging into a lightning tribulation to court death …
How in the world did a formidable master teacher like Yang Xuan manage to groom such a foolish disciple?
"Even Saint 8-dan experts wouldn't dare enter a Dimension Sundering realm lightning tribulation carelessly. As a Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle cultivator, there's no doubt that he's dead for sure … Let's collect his corpse later!"
The golden-robed elder said with a shake of his head.
He had seen insane people before, but he had never seen someone as insane as this. This was no longer saving someone but courting death!
Tzzzzzz!
Paying no heed to the shocked gazes of the crowd, as soon as Zhang Xuan entered the lightning tribulation, his eyes glowed with excitement.
"Little Tribulation, your Big Brother Zhang Xuan is here!"
With a loud exclamation, Luo Xuanqing opened his acupoints and began absorbing the zhenqi furiously.
It had only taken him five to six days to find the Dongxu Gourd, but it had taken him more than ten days to return.
It had only taken him a few hours to help Bi Hongyin and the others achieve a breakthrough, so Zhang Xuan didn't waste any of the remaining time either. He had been using the Dongxu Gourd to expand his dantian, forming a ring-shaped space within it.
His hard work paid off. He had indeed succeeded when he returned to the Sanctum of Sages, but … a problem had surfaced.
After the formation of the ring-shaped space, the capacity of his dantian had increased by more than tenfold. On the other hand, he only had a tenth of his zhenqi left, and he was still fretting over how he could fill it up. How could he not be excited upon seeing the lightning tribulation?
With this, he would definitely be able to push his zhenqi to its limits once more. he wouldn't have to hide pitifully in a corner anymore.
Tss tss tss!
As soon as the lightning entered his body, it transformed into lightning energy and flowed into his dantian. Inside his dantian, the originally lazy and motionless gourd suddenly jolted and jumped out of his dantian.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Paying no heed to Zhang Xuan's question, the gourd let out an excited cry as soon as it appeared. It flew straight to the side and began spinning in the air.
As it spun, countless bolts of lightning immediately gathered around it. Once they landed on its body, they immediately seemed to fall into a black hole and could no longer be seen.
"F * ck me … Slow down! You're just a gourd, can't you have some shame? "
Not expecting the Dongxu Gourd to devour lightning just like him, Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he flew into a rage.
What the hell …
It wasn't easy for me to catch up with Luo Xuanqing's lightning tribulation.
There are still a lot of vacancies in my body that haven't been filled, and you're the first to fill them up … Where's your face?
As an artifact, don't you know how to respect your master?
With a stifled look on his face, Zhang Xuan decided to continue devouring the lightning. However, after a while, he suddenly felt the lightning growing sparser and sparser. Raising his head, he saw that the lightning had formed yet another vortex. At some point in time, the vine hidden in his storage ring had also flown out to devour the lightning bolts.
"The heck … The lightning bolts are mine!"
Zhang Xuan was on the verge of going insane.
Aren't you being too shameless? Are you trying to snatch the lightning bolts from me?
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to berate the other party, his clone suddenly appeared before him. Harrumphing coldly, the clone dashed into the midst of the lightning bolts and began devouring the lightning bolts as well.
"You all …"
Seeing that those fellows were absorbing the lightning bolts even faster than him, Zhang Xuan knew that this wasn't the time to get angry. Gritting his teeth, he drew his soul out of his body and began devouring the lightning bolts.
As the two of them increased their speed, surges of zhenqi swiftly flowed into his dantian through his meridians, replenishing the energy he had depleted.
By the time Zhang Xuan had replenished a third of his zhenqi, he could already feel the lightning bolts growing sparser and sparser. Taking a closer look, he saw the gourd, the vine, and his clone absorbing the lightning bolts at a faster and faster rate. At this moment, the already dense lightning bolts in the surroundings had already become as thin as mist.
"Damn it …"
The more Zhang Xuan thought about it, the more furious he felt. Gritting his teeth, he hastened his absorption of the lightning bolts.
While Zhang Xuan was on the verge of exploding, Luo Xuanqing, who was still trying his best to recover his strength, finally saw the arrival of the second lightning bolt.
Pu!
A sound reminiscent of a fart echoed in the air. The lightning bolt that was more than ten meters thick a moment ago was only as thick as a finger at this moment.
Puhe!
When the lightning bolt landed on his head, it didn't even have the strength to strike it with a wooden stick.
"…" Luo Xuanqing.
"…" The golden-robed elder and the second elder.
