Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

劫 Lightning Tribulation!

Dark clouds, as black as ink, churned and rolled, obscuring all light.

Between heaven and earth, the wind was filled with the violent power's aftereffects.

And the eye of the storm was the valley where the Lightning Tribulation struck.

Within the valley, the sound of water roared like ten thousand horses galloping.

Lightning struck the storm vortex, along with burning thunder-fire.

The three collided, erupting with immense destructive power.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Buzz--Buzz--

Rumble! Rumble!

The earth trembled, a vibration that seemed to originate from the depths of the earth's core.

Then, the ground at the bottom of the valley, as if a sleeping behemoth had been suddenly awakened, broke free from its restraints and turned over!

Rocks loosened, and huge boulders broke away from the steep cliffs, falling like meteorites with deafening roars, crashing into the valley floor, stirring up a tidal wave of electric light, water columns, and mud.

Originally, those towering ancient trees that were not within the chosen Tribulation zone, now seemed like fragile scarecrows, uprooted or broken in half by the ruthless force.

The moment they fell, they emitted a muffled and desperate sound, but it was drowned out by the sound of the earth shaking.

The entire valley was collapsing!

All these movements happened in an instant.

So caught off guard.

The overflowing power even affected the area outside the valley, within a radius of dozens of miles.

Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi leaped up and quickly retreated at least a hundred meters.

Yet they could still feel the wind and rain coming at them.

And the aura of thunder-fire mixed in the wind and rain.

"...Old ghost, was your previous life a peerless demon?" Lingxiao flicked her sleeves, stopped her figure, and waved away the water vapor that attacked.

It is said that those who are extremely wicked and have done all kinds of bad things will have countless heavenly thunders strike them.

Until they are split and killed.

This is called Heavenly Punishment.

Twenty-one Heavenly Thunders.

What kind of heinous act must one commit to receive such treatment?

The corners of Lingxiao's mouth twitched.

The matter of Heavenly Punishment is just a rumor.

Moreover, in the rumors, it is a punishment imposed on ordinary people.

It has nothing to do with cultivators.

After all, if all thunder tribulations were caused by sin, wouldn't the cultivation world be full of sinners?

However, he didn't refute Lingxiao.

Instead, he focused on the valley.

Then he looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky.

The tribulation clouds, which had been rolling and surging before, and constantly rotating to gather more dark clouds, now presented a relatively calm state.

The power of thunder within also seemed to be slowly stilling.

Within the few breaths he looked over, there was no major movement.

It seems, it's over?

The valley where the tribulation was taking place was completely shrouded in water vapor.

The collapse caused by the earth-shattering movements completely obscured the scene within.

Without releasing divine sense, just looking with the naked eye, you can't see anything at all.

"Do you want to go over and take a look?" She turned her head to look at Ling Yunzi.

"Wait a little longer," Ling Yunzi said.

The last three lightning tribulations came very fiercely.

Especially the last one.

If they hadn't moved away in time, they would have been affected.

Going over now, in case the aftershocks of the thunder-fire were suppressed under the mountain and suddenly rose up.

Or if another tribulation thunder falls.

Then it would be dangerous.

The two who had just undergone the tribulation didn't dare to take this risk.

The Lightning Tribulation is already over.

If Xu Chengxian has survived and is still alive, he won't die if they go later.

If he is already dead.

Going sooner or later is the same.

"We still very much hope that he is alive," Lingxiao said.

"This one also thinks that he won't die so easily," Ling Yunzi said lightly.

Both of them focused their gazes on the valley.

They began to stir and accumulate their mana at the same time.

"If he dies, We will protect his body."

The Empress's brother, even if he dies, cannot be eaten by others.

"This one will naturally be with Your Majesty," Ling Yunzi said.

Although according to common sense, the bodies of dead demons are also blood food for other demons.

The strong devour the weak, which is also a kind of rule in the cultivation world.

Xu Chengxian also ate a lot of demon beast flesh.

If he dies under the Lightning Tribulation, and there is still a remnant of his body, it would be reasonable for General Yu and others, or the demons who rushed in after the tribulation clouds dissipated to seize the opportunity, to divide it.

"Although, We don't care about what happens after death," Lingxiao said.

It doesn't matter if her ashes are used to grow vegetables.

Once dead, it's over.

But Xu Chengxian was also once a human, and he shouldn't recognize this rule.

Since that's the case, then she can't let him be divided and eaten.

"Your Majesty is a perceptive person," Ling Yunzi curled the corners of his mouth.

This sentence is not sarcastic.

The Demonic Sect Empress is unrestrained and free.

She is a person of temperament.

However, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with acting like this.

The human race has always been domineering.

They are one an Empress, and the other a Dao Lord, and they are even more accustomed to being domineering.

Leaving aside the fact that they owe Xu Chengxian a favor, even in this life, the other party is her elder brother by blood, so they must protect his flesh and bury him.

The two were ready to go, waiting only for the tribulation clouds to dissipate and the thunder-fire energy in the valley to weaken slightly.

Then they rushed over to check.

...

"Tribulation Clouds!"

"The Tribulation Clouds aren't moving!"

"Look, the Tribulation Clouds aren't moving!"

The Great Demon Tiger Howl pointed at the sky and roared.

At this time, he was no longer at the previous observation point.

After General Yu gave an order, he and Wolf Cyan retreated to the distant mountain peak together.

They had just used demon power to evaporate the water mist containing the aura of thunder-fire from their bodies.

He stared at the valley where the flower snake was undergoing the tribulation for a few eyes, but didn't see any movement.

Then he raised his head and saw the tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to have stopped.

He blinked his eyes and confirmed again.

They had indeed stopped.

Moreover, it looked like there were signs of dissipating!

"Haha!"

Tiger Howl laughed loudly.

"Three Lightning Tribulations! Oh, Heavens!"

"The third person undergoing the tribulation actually had twenty Lightning Tribulations!"

"Now finally... Wuwu!"

"You can shut your mouth," Wolf Cyan directly blocked his mouth.

The corners of General Yu's eyes also couldn't help but twitch several times.

If he didn't know that Tiger Howl was a brindle tiger who had become a demon.

He would really suspect that this guy had the bloodline inheritance of a harbinger bird.

Or, his ancestors had produced some ominous beasts that reported bad omens.

Seeing Wolf Cyan stop Tiger Howl from speaking, he didn't stop him either.

Luyang Mountain hasn't been so lively in a long time.

But it doesn't need to be so lively.

Successfully undergoing the tribulation is indeed gratifying.

But it's better to have fewer such amazing feats.

"This valley, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover for decades," the Lord of Luyang Mountain sighed with emotion.

He didn't mention Xu Chengxian, who was undergoing the tribulation.

Because in his opinion, it was almost certain that this flower snake had no chance of survival.

"Twenty-one Lightning Tribulations, and the last few were so dangerous, how could he possibly be alive?" Wolf Cyan said.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Rumble!

A loud noise.

A surge of mist, surging and billowing, spread rapidly from the valley, first a faint blue-gray, then turning into a rich milky white, and finally turning into a chaotic, undifferentiated gray-white world.

The thunder-fire went out, and the storm dissipated.

There was another round of earth-shattering movements.

An enormous snake head emerged!
