Sensing this aura, the Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master felt a touch of doubt. Under normal circumstances, with Lu Fan's strength, no matter how formidable, he wouldn't be able to stir up any significant trouble.
However, judging by Lu Fan's imposing presence, he seemed to have everything under control, which piqued the Sect Master's curiosity.
"What exactly are your capabilities, boy? Why don't you unleash them all and let us have a look!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master sneered, laced with mockery, as if in his eyes, Lu Fan's actions were merely a show of force.
"Haven't you noticed that the surrounding space has already changed?"
A cold glint appeared in Lu Fan's smiling eyes. "It's likely that before long, the entire Heavenly Fragrance Sect will be plunged into an abyss of eternal damnation!"
"What a colossal joke! On what basis do you dare to utter such words?"
Miaoyin scoffed coldly, "Do you truly believe that the people of the Heavenly Fragrance Sect are made of paper?"
"I never said that. However, this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is exceptionally terrifying. How can this region of the Heavenly Fragrance Sect withstand it?" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze becoming even more serene.
"Thunder Tribulation?"
Miaoyin's expression changed. "You intend to undergo your tribulation within my Heavenly Fragrance Sect!"
"Precisely!"
Lu Fan nodded, not the least bit evasive. What he had decided to do, he would not easily change.
"Boy, you must be out of your mind!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master chuckled coldly. "Others seek a quiet place to safely undergo their heavenly tribulation. You, on the other hand, seem afraid no one will know, and you choose to do it within the Heavenly Fragrance Sect's domain. Do you truly think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
"I never thought that!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "However, undergoing my tribulation within the Heavenly Fragrance Sect seems like it would be quite amusing. How could I possibly miss such an opportunity!"
Rumble...
As they were conversing, a rumbling sound echoed. Above their heads, the aura of divine thunder from the nine heavens surged, appearing terrifying and forcing their bodies to retreat.
"Such a powerful aura of thunder tribulation!"
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone exclaimed, their expressions growing solemn. Especially those from the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, who were filled with great concern.
Such a formidable heavenly tribulation, once drawn to the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, would likely spell doom for its numerous disciples.
They harbored no doubt about this.
"Sect Master, we must eliminate him beforehand, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to our sect!"
With heavy expressions, those beside him spoke, their countenances grave. They were acutely aware that this matter was no trifle. If not handled properly, it would trigger the divine thunder of the nine heavens, leading to endless repercussions.
"I am naturally aware of this!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master nodded slightly and was about to strike Lu Fan when he discovered that the divine thunder of the nine heavens, carrying an unparalleled momentum, blocked the Sect Master's advance. Within this tribulation, it seemed no one could easily escape.
Simultaneously, everyone's expression grew more serious. They could clearly sense the terrifying power of the lightning. If they did not retreat, even they would suffer collateral damage.
"It's useless. The thunder tribulation has already begun. It's too late to make a forceful move!" Lu Fan shook his head. "I wonder if your Heavenly Fragrance Sect's domain can withstand the divine thunder of the nine heavens when it strikes!"
"I advise you to refrain from acting rashly!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master sneered, a chilling aura emanating from him. "You should be well aware of the immense innocent sacrifices that will occur if the thunder tribulation is drawn to the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, potentially even leading to the entire sect's demise!"
"Since the Heavenly Fragrance Sect refused to unite, I have no choice but to do this!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "You cannot blame me for this!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master's face turned ashen. He wished to strike and discipline Lu Fan, but he found no opportunity. Lu Fan was undergoing his tribulation, and during this period, protected by the lightning, no one could easily approach him.
However, this meant that it was impossible for the Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master to make a move against him.
"All disciples of the sect, retreat immediately!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master commanded sternly, his expression increasingly grave. He was acutely aware that Lu Fan's formidable presence, coupled with the terrifying heavenly tribulation, was no mere jest.
If not handled properly, even the entire Heavenly Fragrance Sect could perish along with it.
The Sect Master saw this clearly.
Rumble...
In that instant, the terrifying lightning power unleashed fiercely. Within the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, it was like a flood dragon crossing the river, engulfing everything in its path with a vast ocean of energy.
Even the Heavenly Fragrance Sect's main buildings were shattered by the impact. In the face of true lightning, they appeared utterly incapable of resistance.
"How can this be!"
Miaoyin's face turned ashen. "He has only just stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, but the aura of this thunder tribulation… this is not of the same level at all. What is going on!"
"It signifies that his talent has reached an extremely high degree!"
Miaoxuan stated directly. "No wonder he possessed such confidence. It turns out he can truly use the power of lightning to destroy the entire sect!"
"Destroy the entire sect?"
Miaoyin's expression shifted, becoming somewhat caught off guard. If this were truly the case, it would be far too terrifying.
After all, the entire sect was exceptionally powerful. Under normal circumstances, completely destroying it would not be an easy feat.
"We absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
Miaoyin's voice rang out again, her eyes filled with deep solemnity. She was acutely aware that if Lu Fan succeeded, it would bring world-shattering destructive power to the entire sect.
"It's useless. It's already too late!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master shook his head. He deeply regretted not acting decisively to eliminate Lu Fan earlier. Now that it had come to this, even he was helpless. The heavenly tribulation was linked to the power of the Heavenly Dao, something he could not obstruct. If he forcibly intervened, it would likely invite immense trouble.
Rumble...
Another thunderous roar echoed. The entire Heavenly Fragrance Sect had transformed into a sea of lightning. Lu Fan, however, had no intention of sparing the Heavenly Fragrance Sect, his actions surging around them, appearing quite gleeful.
"That was the Sect Master's most beloved palace. I never imagined it would be destroyed by him like this!"
"Who would have thought! Such a terrifying thunder tribulation, even the Sect Master dare not face it. Is our Heavenly Fragrance Sect truly doomed?"
Many female disciples exclaimed, their brows furrowed. They were clearly puzzled by Lu Fan's actions, finding them somewhat bewildering.
"Destroying my sect like this will bring you no benefit!"
The Heavenly Fragrance Sect Master's face darkened. "Whatever you desire, you can tell me, and I will fulfill it for you. Why vent your anger on my sect?"
"I don't wish to do this either. If you were willing, I could certainly have a good talk with you!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "This is merely the weakest form of punitive lightning. If the truly powerful punitive lightning were to descend, this Heavenly Fragrance Sect would likely be unable to withstand it!"
