Furious Man had gone into seclusion in his cave abode in the water. Now, he was standing on the surface of the sea, looking up at the clouds gathering in the sky.
Strong winds swept up the sand, making it hard to open one's eyes. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and a bolt of lightning flashed.
"Rumble …"
Hearing the thunder, the angry man's reaction wasn't too bad, but Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, who were in Extreme Fragrance Cottage, were both startled.
"This isn't an ordinary breakthrough, it's a tribulation!"
Having experienced Lone Wind Wolf's tribulation, Gu Zheng could hear the sound of tribulation lightning brewing.
Knowing that he was about to undergo tribulation, Gu Zheng hurriedly ordered the disciples guarding the island's Immortal Formation to shut down the island's Immortal Formation so that it wouldn't be damaged by the tribulation lightning.
"Furious Man is already a demon cultivator. Why would tribulation lightning appear?"
Meow Meow was puzzled. Furious Man had been in the late stage of the Spirit Demon Realm before he went into seclusion, which was equivalent to a cultivator in the late stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. Even if he advanced again, he would only be in the Earth Demon Realm! As long as he didn't advance to the Heavenly Demon Realm, tribulation lightning wouldn't appear. This was common knowledge.
"Perhaps it's because of this matter!" Gu Zheng frowned and said thoughtfully.
"What is it, Sir?" Meow Meow asked.
"Now's not the time to talk about this. Now that the immortal array is shut down, Foggy Wind Island is exposed to the sea. Go and maintain order immediately. Don't affect the people outside," Gu Zheng said solemnly.
"Okay!"
Seeing Gu Zheng's serious expression, Meow Meow didn't dare ask any more questions and immediately flew out of the window.
"Lian Yuxin, shut down the immortal array for now. If you're not busy, help maintain order," Gu Zheng transmitted to Lian Yuxin.
"Okay, I'll go right away," Lian Yuxin replied.
"Zhenling, tell everyone not to go near the shore. Furious Man is undergoing tribulation over there," Gu Zheng transmitted to Yang Zhenling.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Yang Zhenling couldn't transmit her voice, but she still replied loudly.
Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged. Gu Zheng continued to stir-fry his dishes. As for the angry man's side, he wasn't too worried.
"What did you think of just now?" the artifact spirit asked.
"I remember what happened on Ziyan Island," said Gu Zheng.
Back when Gu Zheng was making spirit beast food for Meow Meow and the angry man on Purple Yan Island, he used the meat of the giant clam.
The giant clam was a rarely seen ferocious beast. Aside from its intelligence, it also had eighteen different colored Neidans inside its body! The angry man was very tempted when he saw the Giant Lizard's inner core, so Gu Zheng gave it to the angry man so that he could refine his natal immortal weapon.
According to common sense, it was impossible for Angry Man to cause any Heavenly Tribulation with his cultivation base. The only possibility was that after he returned to Foggy Wind Island, something happened that had something to do with the giant clam's inner core.
"There is indeed such a possibility," said the Artifact Spirit after hearing Gu Zheng's speculation.
"When do you plan to go and take a look? Have you finished making this dish? "The artifact spirit asked.
"I'm not going. I still need a few more dishes. I can't let the guests wait."
Gu Zheng paused and then continued, "Besides, outsiders can't help at all when it comes to Heavenly Tribulation. Whether or not you can pass it depends on your own strength and luck."
"Could this be the legendary Ghost Island?"
"For generations, people have been fishing in this sea area. They never knew there was an island here!"
"Don't tell me you don't know. It's not even on the satellite map!"
"Do you think this is a mirage?"
"I don't think so! Look at that strange cloud in the sky. It's just above the island. I'm afraid there's something strange about this! "
"Who cares what's strange about it? We'll know if it's a mirage when we go there and take a look."
"Do you want to die? Can't you see the thunder surging in that cloud? Don't be struck by lightning as soon as you go there. You won't even know how you died! "
"I'm afraid something has become a spirit. God wants to strike it with lightning!"
"That makes sense. Do you think it's a flood dragon?"
It was the fishing season now. In the sea area outside Foggy Wind Island, several fishing boats were working. The fishermen on the boats were discussing the sudden appearance of the island. Some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
"Wow! Look, someone is flying from the island! "
"It's a woman. She's so beautiful!"
"She's wearing an ancient costume. Is she shooting a movie?"
"Shoot your head! Have you ever seen someone shoot a movie like this?"
"Run! This is definitely not a good sign!"
Looking at Lian Yuxin, who was flying toward them, the initial surprise turned into panic.
"You want to run?"
Lian Yuxin smiled. With a wave of her hand, all the fishing boats on the sea stopped moving. All the fishermen's movements also stopped for a moment.
"Sigh, this is troublesome!"
Lian Yuxin sighed. She stopped above a fishing boat and sent out a strand of her Divine Sense.
After the Divine Thought drilled into a fisherman's mind, the fisherman stood aside in a daze, as if he didn't see anything strange next to him.
Then, Lian Yuxin's Divine Thought drilled into another fisherman's mind. After a moment, it came out of his mind and drilled into his mobile phone.
Lian Yuxin's Divine Thought was erasing the fishermen's memories. She was erasing things that shouldn't be in their mobile phones. The fishermen whose memories of Foggy Wind Island had been erased would not be harmed. Lian Yuxin had implanted a command in their minds. They would leave this place and would not look back for half an hour, nor would they think about coming back.
After a moment, the fishermen on the fishing boat had been dealt with by Lian Yuxin. The fishing boat started moving and left the sea area near Foggy Wind Island.
Lian Yuxin was erasing the fishermen's memories on this side of Foggy Wind Island, while Meow Meow was doing the same thing on the other side of the island. In their opinion, the island-guarding immortal array had been closed due to the anger of the angry man's tribulation, so there wouldn't be any trouble. However, who would have thought that someone would have already landed on Foggy Wind Island? This person was the Mysterious Nether Patriarch, who had come to cause trouble.
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch had just arrived before the angry man's tribulation. Originally, he wanted to spend some time and secretly pass through the island-guarding immortal array of Foggy Wind Island. However, who would have thought that the island-guarding immortal array would be closed?
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch was not stupid. He also knew that the force that Gu Zheng represented was not to be trifled with. Therefore, he had only come to cause trouble and vent his anger.
Originally, the Mysterious Nether Patriarch had been thinking about how to cause trouble so that he could vent his anger and make Gu Zheng feel pain. It just so happened that the situation on Foggy Wind Island where the angry man was about to undergo tribulation gave the Mysterious Nether Patriarch sufficient inspiration!
"If I scheme against the person undergoing the tribulation and make him die under the heavenly tribulation, Gu Zheng will definitely feel pain. After all, this is indirectly killing an immortal cultivator!" The Mysterious Nether Patriarch was very excited by his inspiration.
"Eh? It's actually a demon cultivator? However, what exactly is this guy? "
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch arrived near the tribulation site. The angry man had already resisted the heavenly tribulation. At this moment, he had transformed into his original form in the sea. He was a blood-red fish with many bone spikes on his body.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa …"
The angry man in the sea slapped the surface of the water with his huge fish tail. He was completely unaware of the incoming danger. After all, even a late-stage Void Return cultivator might not be able to see the Mysterious Nether Patriarch in the sky, let alone someone with his cultivation base.
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch's body had a special restriction on it. Therefore, without a certain cultivation base, one would not be able to see him. However, while he was in this state of concealment, he could use some small techniques. Once he fought with someone, he would be exposed.
"Unlucky Little Goblin. Originally, you could have advanced because of this, but who told you to get involved with Gu Zheng? Don't blame the Old Man for being ruthless! "The Mysterious Nether Patriarch sneered in his heart.
Tribulation transcendence was a very special matter. It depended entirely on the person undergoing the tribulation transcendence. Others could not help or interfere.
This was a law of the Heavenly Dao. Once someone broke this law, the power of the tribulation lightning would increase. At that time, not only would it target the person undergoing the tribulation, but it would also target the person who interfered.
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch wanted to deal with the angry man because he wanted to interfere with his tribulation transcendence. As for being punished, the Mysterious Nether Patriarch was not worried at all. This was because he had a special method that could deceive the heavens. In his life, he had killed more than one enemy by using underhanded means during their tribulation transcendence.
His finger continued to draw in the air. A colorless and mysterious pattern appeared before the Mysterious Nether Patriarch's eyes.
The pattern had been formed. As long as the Mysterious Nether Patriarch activated it, it would affect the angry man's tribulation transcendence. At that time, the power of the tribulation lightning would increase. Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to survive such a powerful tribulation lightning.
"Eh?"
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch, who was about to activate the colorless pattern, suddenly let out a cry of surprise. The second tribulation lightning that was aimed at the angry man had already descended. This second tribulation lightning was not the relatively straight tribulation lightning from before. Instead, it had many branches that meandered like the veins of a leaf.
"What did this guy do that the Heavenly Dao can't tolerate? He is already a beast cultivator, but he still has to endure tribulation lightning. Moreover, he has to endure the rare 'Withered Leaf Lightning'. It seems like his tribulation lightning isn't just three but five! "
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch was surprised. At the same time, a crazy idea appeared in his mind.
"Hmph, if you want to cause destruction, then do it big! In any case, the other cultivators under Gu Zheng should have finished dealing with the matters of Misty Wind Island. The tribulation lightning here is so strange. They will definitely come over to take a look. As long as they come within a certain range, I can use this strange tribulation lightning to teach them a lesson! "
The Mysterious Nether Patriarch's thoughts were not wrong. After the angry man's third tribulation lightning descended, Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin, who had already dealt with the surrounding waters, flew over to where the angry man was undergoing his tribulation.
"Sister, don't get too close!"
Lian Yuxin transmitted her voice to Meow Meow.
"Why?" Meow Meow replied.
"This tribulation lightning is called 'Withered Leaf Lightning'. If someone appears near the person undergoing the tribulation, it will affect them!"
Even Yu Xin had never seen the 'Withered Leaf Lightning' before. She had only heard of some legends about it.
"Okay, I won't get too close."
After hearing Lian Yuxin's words, Meow Meow decided not to get too close. However, it was already too late. She had already appeared within the range of the Mysterious Nether Patriarch's calculations.
The corner of the Mysterious Nether Patriarch's mouth curled into a sinister smile. He struck the five-colored diagram with a hand seal.
"Rumble …"
The thunder in the clouds became even more violent. Soon after, a bright light descended.
"Kacha …"
The fourth tribulation lightning of the angry man's tribulation appeared. It was still in the form of 'Withered Leaf Lightning', but it targeted Meow Meow as well.
Meow Meow was greatly alarmed. The tribulation lightning attacking her was treating her as someone who interfered with the Heavenly Dao. Ordinary tribulation lightning at this time would be very powerful, not to mention this special 'Withered Leaf Lightning'.
Her body quickly flew backwards, but she was still unavoidably affected. A very thin strand of lightning touched her body.
"Ah …"
Meow Meow's screams changed pitch. The intense electric shock numbed her body and caused her to fall from the sky.
Furthermore, a cluster of lightning fire spread from the part of her body that was struck.
"Plop!"
Meow Meow fell into the sea. However, ordinary seawater was unable to extinguish the lightning fire. It continued to burn in the sea.
Heavenly tribulation was more harmful to beast cultivators than to humans. Moreover, this was the 'Withered Leaf Lightning' in its special state. If Meow Meow's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Earth Demon Realm, she wouldn't be able to resist the lightning fire at all. She would be burned to ashes in an instant!
However, Meow Meow's cultivation was now at the mid stage of the Profound Demon Realm. Although the lightning fire could cause considerable damage to her, it couldn't take her life.
"Whoosh!"
Meow Meow jumped out of the water. The lightning fire burning on her left shoulder had already been extinguished. She didn't dare to stay in the slightest and immediately fled to a safe place.
"Another beast cultivator, and her strength has reached a certain level! It's a pity that I didn't manage to take her life. But even so, tribulation lightning entered her body and burned her. Without a few days of rest, it'll be impossible for her to return to her peak state. "
Looking at Meow Meow who had escaped to a safe place, Forefather Xuanming smiled proudly.
"This woman is quite clever. It's a pity that she didn't come along and be dealt with."
Forefather Xuanming looked at Lian Yuxin and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
At the same time, Lian Yuxin transmitted to Meow Meow, "Sister, there seems to be an outsider here. I felt a trace of abnormal fluctuation just now."
"I felt it too. That person quickly used an immortal art. At the time, I didn't think much of it. After all, it happened in a flash," said Meow Meow hatefully.
Although high-level concealment methods were rare, they weren't nonexistent. Even Yuxin and Meow Meow knew some of their characteristics.
"Sister, you were struck by tribulation lightning and burned by lightning fire. Are you hurt?" Lian Yuxin asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I've already taken an immortal body pill. If I fight someone, I'll suppress it for a while. There won't be any problems. I just need to rest afterward," said Meow Meow.
"Good. In that case, we know the approximate location of the source of the immortal energy fluctuation just now. Why don't we work together to force him out? Let him know the consequences of opposing our Foggy Wind Island! "Lian Yuxin gritted her teeth.
"No need. Since he dared to trick me, he should be prepared for my revenge. Sister, just you wait!" Meow Meow sneered.
"Are you sure?" Lian Yuxin asked.
"Really," said Meow Meow firmly.
"Good!"
Lian Yuxin didn't insist. She had learned from Gu Zheng that although Meow Meow's cultivation was only at the mid-Xuan Demon Stage, which was equivalent to a mid-Xuan Demon Stage cultivator, her true strength was enough to deal with most late-Xuan Demon Stage cultivators! Therefore, Meow Meow must have her reasons for saying no.
"Rumble …"
Thunder rumbled in the clouds as the fourth tribulation bolt was about to fall.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp whistle suddenly came from Meow Meow's mouth.
As Meow Meow let out a long howl, the image of a huge beast appeared behind her. It rubbed its eyes with its two paws and seemed to be saying something.
"Rumble …"
A thunderous roar sounded as the furious man's fourth tribulation bolt fell.
The fourth tribulation was still the 'Withered Leaf Lightning'. However, when this' Withered Leaf Lightning 'landed above the Misty Wind Island, it suddenly split into two. One of the branches seemed to have opened its eyes and rapidly shot towards the Dark Nether Ancestor, who was still unaware of the situation.
"Heavens!"
Ancestor Xuan Ming was shocked. Not everyone had seen a Crapbeast before, and not everyone knew what a Crapbeast looked like. This was because Crapbeasts were much rarer than Dragons and Phoenixes. Ancestor Xuan Ming was at a disadvantage. While he was furious, he was still wondering what the shadow behind Meow Meow was.
"Ah!"
Dark Nether Patriarch screamed. Just like Meow Meow, the Withered Leaf Lightning was too fast. It was so fast that it was impossible to dodge.
Dark Nether Patriarch didn't have to endure much of the Withered Leaf Lightning, but it was much more than what Meow Meow had to endure. If Meow Meow's Withered Leaf Lightning was only the size of a pinky finger, then Dark Nether Patriarch's Withered Leaf Lightning was the size of an egg.
When Dark Nether Patriarch was struck by the Withered Leaf Lightning, Lian Yuxin, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately made her move. She pointed with her finger and the immortal artifact hairpin in her hair immediately flew toward Dark Nether Patriarch.
Dark Nether Patriarch was struck by the Withered Leaf Lightning just like Meow Meow. He was paralyzed and fell. When Lian Yuxin's hairpin approached, a jade pendant immortal artifact on Dark Nether Patriarch's body automatically formed a barrier around him.
"Kacha …"
Although the jade pendant was also a mid-grade immortal artifact, its barrier couldn't block the hairpin, which was also a mid-grade immortal artifact, and the barrier shattered.
"Ah!"
Dark Nether Patriarch screamed in pain. The hairpin that broke the barrier didn't slow down and pierced through his shoulder again.
Originally, Lian Yuxin's hairpin was aimed at Dark Nether Patriarch's heart, but because of the barrier, its position shifted.
Unfortunately, Meow Meow had lost its ability to fight for a short time after using its innate ability. Otherwise, if she and Lian Yuxin worked together, they might have been able to instantly kill Dark Nether Patriarch.
"I want all of you to die!"
Dark Nether Patriarch roared. First, he was ambushed, and then he was injured by Lian Yuxin's hairpin.
After all, Dark Nether Patriarch was a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Stage. Although the Withered Leaf Lightning he suffered was thicker than Meow Meow's, the time it took for him to recover was no slower than Meow Meow's! With a roar, he pushed a palm toward Lian Yuxin from afar.
The energy of heaven and earth was instantly mobilized, and the palm that Dark Nether Patriarch pushed out transformed into a three-meter-tall skull that smashed toward Lian Yuxin with the force of a thunderbolt.
"Who do you want to die?"
An angry roar sounded, and a black saber light rapidly slashed toward the skull in the air.
"Bam!"
An explosion sounded in the air, and the skull exploded under the black saber light, turning into a swarm of black dots that continued to attack Lian Yuxin.
"Whoosh!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and a large expanse of flames was casually flung toward the black dots.
"Crackle!"
The black dots that were engulfed by the flames all exploded.
"Gu Zheng!"
Dark Nether Patriarch gritted his teeth as he looked at the young man in the air.
"You want to kill them, right?"
Gu Zheng didn't ask who Dark Nether Patriarch was. He was already furious, and as he spoke, he prepared the Immortal Slaying Palm.
