He had seen people taming beasts, taming people, and taming weapons, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could even tame a lightning tribulation.
Sovereign Chen Yong, Ancient Sage Mo Ling, Ancient Sage Allfire, and the others were shocked beyond words.
The scene before his eyes had overturned everything he knew.
Lightning was the representative of the Heavenly Dao. It was used to punish cultivators who tried to break through in vain, but at this moment, it was obeying the orders of a cultivator …
How did he do it?
"This is … my teacher!"
Liu Yang's heart was filled with excitement.
His teacher really had many tricks up his sleeve.
Rumble!
After hearing Zhang Xuan's pointers, the lightning tribulation jolted a little, and the ominous clouds churned furiously. As expected, the rate at which the lightning tribulation was gathering had increased significantly. Putting aside a Saint 9-dan cultivator who had just achieved a breakthrough, even if several of them were to come at him at the same time, he would still be able to kill them easily.
The face of the Saint 9-dan expert below paled in fright.
Who the hell did I offend …
"Help me block the Tribulation of Lightning Armament …"
Ignoring the crying Otherworldly Demon, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and instructed.
The guidance he had given to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was only effective against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, so it wasn't of much use to human master teachers. As such, with the presence of the lightning tribulation, the number of experts from the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would gradually dwindle, and they would no longer pose a threat.
"Boom!"
Little Tribulation hesitated for a moment, but in the end, it rushed toward the Lightning Armament Tribulation.
Seeing how a mere Saint 9-dan lightning tribulation dared to stand in his way, the massive saber slashed the dark clouds into two with a light flick of its wrist.
Rumble!
With a roar, the small tribulation gathered again.
Zhang Xuan felt his scalp go numb. He turned around and asked, "Who else wants to break through … Forget it, I'll do it!"
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan leaped into the air above the crowd and said, "The path of cultivation requires one to have a righteous heart, righteous morals, and righteous words …"
In the air, he began to teach.
His voice echoed loudly in the surroundings. Initially, the cultivators behind Liu Yang didn't think much of it, but after hearing a few words, they found themselves immersed in it. All of them had smiles on their faces, and the shackles that they had been unable to overcome previously suddenly became clear to them.
The doubts that had been plaguing him for so many years were finally cleared up.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
More and more cultivators were making breakthroughs one after another. Leaving Aperture realm, Dimension Sundering realm, Macrocosm Ascendancy realm, Macrocosm Ascendancy realm …
The lightning gathered together like a giant.
Zhang Xuan's mouth was dry from all the talking. After ten minutes, more than two thousand people had already broken through, and more than five hundred of them were able to attract the lightning tribulation.
At this moment, the Minor Tribulation had spread throughout the entire Royal City. The thunderbolts were several hundred feet in size. With a light tear, they could destroy space, as if they were going to collapse the world.
Seeing how the little fellow whom the Lightning Armament Tribulation had disdained a moment ago was reduced to such a pitiful state, he could not help but cower in fear. His saber trembled slightly, but before it could strike Zhang Xuan, it was struck by a bolt of lightning, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.
"That works too?"
Sovereign Chen Yong and the others trembled in fear, as if they had seen a ghost.
Zhang Xuan was probably the only one who could think of and do something like that.
"Carry it yourself, I'll rest for a while …"
Seeing that the Ordeal of Lightning Armament wasn't descending for the time being, Zhang Xuan's clone heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though he had managed to achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage with the help of the Stone of Divine Crusade, he had still sustained severe injuries in order to withstand the attack of the massive saber.
Keeping his clone back into his storage ring, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt as if all of the energy in his body had vanished, and he collapsed onto the ground.
If only he had known that this would happen, he would not have been so reckless.
If not for the fact that there were so many Otherworldly Demons who were on the verge of achieving a breakthrough, and if not for the good relationship he had with the Minor Tribulation, he would not have been able to withstand it.
Hong long long!
The Minor Tribulation clashed with the Ordeal of Lightning Armament for a while longer before the latter finally ran out of energy and dissipated.
Sensing the disappearance of the pressure, Zhang Xuan immediately felt a new surge of energy coursing through his body, causing his state of existence to undergo a qualitative change.
"Suppress!"
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before deciding not to rush into making a breakthrough.
Even though he would be able to successfully become an Ancient Sage expert if he made a breakthrough now, it would still affect his future advancement.
After learning of Kong Shi's method of making a breakthrough, Zhang Xuan decided to learn from Kong Shi and suppress his cultivation a few more times so that he could push for higher realms in the future.
Hu la la!
With the suppression of his energy, Zhang Xuan regained his Sempiternal realm consummation cultivation, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
"You should return first. Thank you for your help this time."
Zhang Xuan turned to the Minor Tribulation and said.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan lowered his head to look at the lightning tribulation formed by the breakthrough of two hundred Otherworldly Demons. The crowd below paused for a brief moment before slowly dissipating as well.
Watching as the lightning tribulation disappeared, Zhang Xuan felt as if all of the energy in his body had been sapped dry.
Even though his breakthrough had brought him into contact with the Ancient Sage realm, and he was on the verge of breaking through at any moment, the lightning tribulation had still left him with only a skeleton. His vitality had been severely depleted as well.
Even with the blood of a Blood Reincarnation realm Ancient Sage, it would still take several years for him to fully recover his physical body.
"Kill him!"
Barely after Zhang Xuan sat down, an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage suddenly charged forward with a ferocious glint in his eyes. He abruptly raised his palm and pressed it down on Zhang Xuan's head.
The strength of the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage was simply too great. If they did not kill him now, he would become a huge threat to them in the future.
"Young Master!"
Not expecting the Otherworldly Demon to react so quickly, Sovereign Chen Yong bellowed as he rushed forward to save Zhang Xuan. At the same time, the Dragonbone Divine Spear by his side also prepared to make a move.
However, before it could reach Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan had already raised his hand to meet the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage's attack.
Padah!
With just a single slap, the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage's arm was reduced to dust. Following which, his body exploded, and even his soul was unable to escape.
"This …"
Everyone was stunned.
Even though the Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage had not reached the Blood Reincarnation realm, he was still a Hundred Schools of Philosophers expert. Yet, he was actually killed by a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator with a single slap …
"Me?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed as well.
After the Ordeal of Lightning Armament, his strength had grown significantly, but he had not made a breakthrough to Ancient Sage yet. He had thought that he would at most be on par with Bloodline Continuance realm cultivators, but who could have thought that he would actually be able to kill a Hundred Schools of Philosophers expert with just a single slap?
"My strength is already comparable to a Blood Reincarnation realm consummation cultivator …"
Zhang Xuan could not help but exclaim in agitation.
He did not think that his strength would already be on par with a Blood Reincarnation realm consummation cultivator even before making a breakthrough to Blood Reincarnation realm consummation. It was no wonder it was said that suppressing one's strength a few more times would be beneficial to the growth of one's cultivation.
From the looks of it, that was indeed the case!
"Make your move!"
Seeing how Zhang Xuan had killed an Ancient Sage with a single slap, the remaining Ancient Sages on Sovereign Chen Ling's side were utterly terrified. Without any hesitation, Sovereign Chen Yong and the others swiftly cut down all of the Ancient Sages.
Seeing this sight, Sovereign Chen Ling's face turned livid. Gritting his teeth tightly, he dared not allow himself to be distracted anymore. He quickly devoured the energy coming from the black hole to heal his injuries.
"Right … If the energy from the ritual is able to heal Sovereign Chen Ling's injuries, will it be able to heal my injuries as well?"
Seeing the state that Sovereign Chen Ling was was in, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of something.
