Chapter 1468: Chapter 1469 Secretly Making a Move
For cultivators, holding their breath is hardly a difficult task; even buried under the earth, Gu Ling felt no discomfort, only puzzled by the other’s actions.
Upon hearing Li Xiaobai’s voice, she hesitated no longer, released the shackles around her, and her aura rose rapidly, dark clouds quickly gathered above as thunder roared and surged.
The Heavenly Tribulation was coming.
“The Heavenly Tribulation is here, disperse!”
“Do not get involved!”
“Scatter!”
The disciples scattered as if they’d seen a ghost, the Heavenly Tribulation arriving without warning.
On the surface, Li Xiaobai lay flat, calm as ever. At this moment, he removed his shirt, laid with his back against the ground, increasing his defensive power fourfold, the Transcendent Realm’s Heavenly Tribulation couldn’t move him an inch.
“Cai Kun, junior brother, the Heavenly Tribulation is here, how should I overcome this difficulty?”
Deep underground, Gu Ling could no longer suppress it, she asked with a trembling voice, instinctively sensing the impending disaster as its dangerous aura grew stronger. With her cultivation level sealed, she lacked the confidence to face such a catastrophe!
“Don’t worry, senior sister, just lie down!”
Li Xiaobai said lightly as the thunder pool took shape, and thunder dragons with long teeth and claws roared and descended.
“Boom!”
Thunder crashed down on Li Xiaobai’s body.
[Attribute Point + ten billion…]
[Attribute Point + twenty billion…]
[Attribute Point + thirty billion…]
The System panel’s attribute value soared, yet Li Xiaobai remained motionless.
Lying directly above Gu Ling, he bore the dual Heavenly Tribulation entirely on his own. His idea was simple: let the customer lie down comfortably, while he used his body to resist all the thunder, with quadruple defensive power coupled with the Insulating Body’s special constitution, the mere Thunder Tribulation for ascending to the Immortal Platform Realm could not harm him at all.
“If Attribute Points are useless, can we add them to other attributes?”
Li Xiaobai pondered, thinking that after reaching the Immortal Gods Realm, continuous Tribulation Crossing rather than Attribute Points would be needed. These idle points could be better applied to other attributes, developing comprehensively into a complete fighter.
“Cai Kun, junior brother, what’s the situation?”
Deep underground, Gu Ling asked with a trembling voice, clearly frightened by the spectacle.
One person’s Tribulation would nearly cost her life; a double Tribulation descending upon her would surely obliterate her instantly!
“Small issue, this Heavenly Tribulation is quite numb, it’s like getting a massage!”
Li Xiaobai leisurely said, crossing his legs while quietly watching the silver serpents dance wildly in the thunder pool.
Feeling provoked, the thunder pool launched a new round of savage bombing; rocks churned and flew, dust rose, and terrifying aura ran rampant.
Disciples afar had faces painted with amazement, thinking that after this bombardment, none could survive.
“What on earth is Cai Kun up to, bringing Gu Ling Immortal into this crisis!”
“But the Heavenly Tribulation has not ended, which means the one crossing the tribulation still exists!”
“So what, the one crossing the tribulation is the Immortal; that guy must have been blasted to bits. Nonetheless, the Immortal’s potential is truly extraordinary, summoning such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation is truly unbelievable!”
Disciples and cultivators watched from afar, commenting on the scene.
To them, the power of Gu Ling’s summoned Heavenly Tribulation exceeded that of ordinary cultivators by several times. Among them were talented disciples, but their Heavenly Tribulations appeared weak next to this one.
This relentless assault left no room for respite, couldn’t even recover injuries or regroup, let alone their cultivation being fully suppressed within the forty-ninth battlefield.
“Surviving such a Heavenly Tribulation, it seems Gu Ling is not as weak as rumors say. She is a true genius, potentially a formidable opponent to major true transmission if she grows!”
Senior disciples initially came to watch but were shocked by the horrific scene they witnessed.
“Should we…”
Some senior disciples had thoughts stirring. This was the forty-ninth battlefield, not within the Academy; and it’s Cai Kun leading Gu Ling in Tribulation Crossing. Any incident during the process would be normal, and even if the Dean came, they wouldn’t link it to them.
Senior disciples needed to align themselves, all were vassals to various true transmissions, none wanted a new equal to emerge, and taking this moment when she was weak was an opportunity for an assassination, with someone else to take the fall lying there anyway, might as well act boldly.
“Keep it hidden, don’t let anyone find out!”
Surrounding cultivators kept eyes on the scene, not noticing the distinct blue lightning streaking across the surface, extending towards the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.
[Attribute Point + fifteen billion…]
The System panel’s numbers fluctuated, Li Xiaobai was taken aback by such a low value. Turning his head, he spotted several blue vines amidst the dust, countless flashes of lightning rapidly approaching, covering his body.
This was not the Heavenly Tribulation; it was a Cultivation Technique, and someone outside was attacking him!
Li Xiaobai’s eyes flashed with cold light and deadly intent, grabbing the blue vine without hesitation. The lightning couldn’t harm him and instead drew the Heavenly Tribulation’s attention above, detecting other cultivators interfering, it immediately sent a thunder dragon along the vine to trace back!
“Roar!”
The thunder dragon roared madly, instantly diving into the crowd, producing continuous screams.
“What happened, why is the Heavenly Tribulation coming over!”
“They’re up to something covertly!”
“They attacked Gu Ling Immortal, bringing calamity!”
“Damn it, if you’re seeking death, don’t drag us along! With the Heavenly Tribulation here, no one escapes!”
The cultivators shivered with fear, glaring at those manipulating the Heavenly Tribulation, eyes filled with murderous intent.
These few rendered them miserable, recklessly attacking Gu Ling Immortal during Tribulation Crossing, drawing Heavenly Tribulation to them.
“Damn, Heavenly Tribulation is descending!”
“With our cultivation sealed, how to confront it!”
The cultivators wanted to flee but were late, as lightning boomed in the void. Another round of thunder pools brewed, emitting a chilling aura.
“Daring to attack me?”
“These people have gone mad.”
Li Xiaobai calmly watched the panicked crowd, as Gu Ling’s Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, the thunder’s ultimate power couldn’t harm her at all and faded away unwillingly.
“Gu Ling Immortal, the Heavenly Tribulation is over, you can come out now!”
