As Kun Sang died, Mo Tian and the others were instantly enraged. The entire void was filled with their terrifying fury and killing intent. The powerful aura seemed capable of shattering the void of the Ninth Pass at any moment.
At this moment, Li Xiaotian's lightning tribulation had reached its most critical juncture. The sea of lightning engulfed the entire void, incredibly terrifying. A mere sliver of its power escaping would tear apart a piece of space.
Li Xiaotian endured the tribulation with all his might, unhesitatingly absorbing the power of Kun Sang he had just devoured to nourish himself.
It had to be said, although Kun Sang's strength was lacking, he was still a high-level expert. The energy contained within his physical body was terrifyingly abundant, surpassing any elixirs or medicinal pills Li Xiaotian had absorbed before.
"Boom!"
An immense power swept over him instantly. Mo Tian and the others made their move. With four high-level experts standing together, their powerful aura actually repelled a portion of the lightning tribulation's power.
"Hum!"
Mo Tian unleashed a saber strike, directly traversing the sea of lightning, tearing through the void, radiating immense demonic energy, and locking onto Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian let out a low roar. He did not resist directly, instead taking a step across half a star field to evade this fatal blow. However, he was still affected. His injuries were stirred, and blood flowed from his mouth.
"Rumble!"
But immediately after, a sky-obscuring giant hand slapped towards him. It was another person beside Mo Tian, whose strength was terrifying. His entire body was shrouded in mist, making his true appearance unclear.
The giant hand blotted out all light, piercing through the entire star sea. It was an abyss of darkness, appearing above Li Xiaotian's head.
"Bang!"
Li Xiaotian let out a long roar towards the sky. His body trembled violently, emitting crackling sounds. His entire physique expanded, his skin turning golden, standing like an ancient golden statue in the firmament.
This time, Li Xiaotian met the blow head-on again, but he couldn't withstand it. He was directly slammed down by the giant palm, flying out of the sea of lightning.
"Pfft!"
Li Xiaotian vomited blood profusely. His face was ashen and devoid of color, his eyes dim and lifeless, looking utterly wretched.
"Rumble!"
But just then, another tremor reverberated through the void. Countless lightning bolts struck down from the clouds, carrying destructive pressure that illuminated the entire star sea.
It was his lightning tribulation, which had caught up. The tribulation had not ended, and it would pursue the one undergoing tribulation wherever they fled.
"Swallow!"
Li Xiaotian roared. The Great Dao of Devouring operated at full force, madly absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation. Faced with the attacks of the four high-level experts, he was helpless and could only choose to absorb the lightning tribulation to boost his combat power. Although this had significant side effects, he had no other choice.
"Hmph! Ant, die!"
Mo Tian snorted coldly. In the next moment, the four high-level experts attacked simultaneously, some with saber strikes, some with palm strikes, or emitting terrifying beams of light.
"Rumble!"
Li Xiaotian's body instantly exploded, blood scattering through the void. But in the next instant, his body rapidly regenerated. Yet, even so, his aura was extremely weak.
Li Xiaotian let out a bitter laugh in his heart. He knew this tribulation would be extremely dangerous, but who would have thought the reality would be even more arduous than he imagined.
"Escape!"
Li Xiaotian fled into the distance. Simultaneously, his lightning tribulation followed closely behind him, continuously bombarding him with lightning.
"Hmph, can you escape? Li Xiaotian, before this Emperor, you are nothing more than a worm!"
Mo Tian chuckled coldly and crossed half a star field with a single step to pursue him. At this moment, he had also begun to refer to himself as Emperor, his eyes filled with arrogance and dominance.
"Stop!"
Mo Tian roared at Li Xiaotian. The rolling sound waves, imbued with Dao charm, struck towards Li Xiaotian, making him spurt out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, another high-level expert attacked, casually grabbing a star and throwing it at Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian continued to flee and dodge. At this moment, he was incredibly battered, especially since he had to divert some of his attention to resist the lightning tribulation.
"Hum!"
Just as Li Xiaotian fled to a certain star domain, suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air and attacked. It was a peak sixth-level expert whose strength was not weak, attempting to fish in troubled waters and heavily injure Li Xiaotian.
"Scram!"
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian let out a great roar, his eyes filled with fury. Terrifying Dao charm surged directly towards him. He could tolerate the pursuit of Mo Tian and the others, but for these trash who weren't even high-level to try and join the fray was simply courting death!
"Bang!"
The figure instantly exploded and perished on the spot.
However, it was precisely because of this delay that Li Xiaotian's body was shattered once again by Mo Tian and the others pursuing from behind, his bones and flesh scattering through the void.
"Combine!"
With a Dao sound, Li Xiaotian's body recovered again. At this moment, his complexion was even paler, clearly indicating excessive exhaustion. But his gaze remained firm, showing no fear.
"Rumble!"
But just then, the lightning tribulation also reached a critical juncture. Terrifying power descended once more. Dense lightning struck down, covering the heavens and earth, completely engulfing the void. Li Xiaotian had no way to dodge and could only resist head-on.
"Damn it, they are forcing me to die," Li Xiaotian cursed inwardly, unwilling.
Concurrently, the attacks from Mo Tian and the four others arrived. This time, they held nothing back, unleashing all sorts of secret techniques and cooperating with the lightning tribulation's power to utterly slay Li Xiaotian.
"Rumble!"
But who would have thought that in the next moment, the lightning tribulation would strike down fiercely? Li Xiaotian's body instantly exploded, turning into a sky full of blood rain, scattering across the firmament and dyeing the void red.
For a moment, the terrifying attacks launched by Mo Tian and the four lost their target and collided with each other, creating a chaotic impact with the sea of lightning.
"This..."
Instantly, Mo Tian and the four were stunned. Based on their understanding of Li Xiaotian, the lightning tribulation at that moment was not enough to destroy his physical body.
"Dead?"
From a distance, a trial-taker subconsciously spoke, his face filled with disbelief.
"Hum!"
Just then, a beam of white light shot across the heavens and earth. It was Shen Ming, who had finally made his move.
The white light was directed towards a blank area within the sea of lightning.
The next moment, just as the white light was about to approach, that blank area instantly trembled and emitted a glow. Li Xiaotian's body reappeared before everyone's eyes, looking even more wretched.
He had merely used the power of the lightning tribulation to hide just now. Who would have thought that Shen Ming would discover him.
"Heh heh, Li Xiaotian, you've exhausted all your tricks," Mo Tian roared with laughter from a distance.
"Your mother!" Li Xiaotian directly blurted out a common profanity from Kyushu, then gritted his teeth and continued to flee. He unleashed the Great Dao of Devouring, absorbing all energy, the power of the lightning tribulation, and the cosmic energy roaming the void, desperately trying to restore his combat power.
"Hmph!"
From behind, Mo Tian's expression darkened, and his speed suddenly surged as he pursued Li Xiaotian.
At the same time, Shen Ming took out a large bow and shot another beam of white light towards Li Xiaotian.
