Chapter 254 Tribulation 7
Instinctively, all those in the know wanted to run towards the mass grave. However, the temporary cessation of the heavenly tribulation did not mean that the invisible and intangible yet omnipresent power of heaven and earth had disappeared.
Instead of disappearing, it continued to spread outwards, and the pressure gradually increased, rendering all living beings within the covered area unable to move. They were like unlucky insects that had fallen into an invisible amber that was gradually solidifying, wanting to struggle but lacking the strength to do so!
The panicked cries had barely escaped their lips when the dazzling, winding sea of blue-purple lightning began to move again.
Suddenly, the raging storm at the heart of the Thunderous Sea subsided, its tranquility mirroring the gentle breeze rippling across the water's surface on a spring afternoon. However, this peaceful state was fleeting.
One moment it was peaceful and gentle, the next it burst forth with a dazzling light, almost blinding, like a star exploding. At the same time, the entire sea of lightning, which had spread for thousands of miles, suddenly collapsed from all directions toward the fist-sized core, as if in an instant all the supreme power contained in the vast sea of lightning had been squeezed into that fist-sized core.
As the power dissipated, the color of the entire sea of thunder, stretching for thousands of miles, gradually dimmed from the very edge inwards, just like a brightly colored painting gradually losing its brightness over time.
Even more bizarrely, the fist-sized core that was constantly being filled with power not only did not change in size, but its color and luster were no longer as dazzling as they were at the beginning. Instead, it unexpectedly gradually became less radiant until the surface became dull and inconspicuous before it stopped changing.
This series of changes, though a long story, actually happened in the blink of an eye. Thus, just as Wei Chaoyan and the others were exclaiming in surprise, the tribulation lightning had already completed its energy accumulation and poured down like a storm onto the top of the mass grave!
This time, the tribulation lightning was significantly more powerful than the previous one. As a result, the clash between the rain-like tribulation lightning falling from the sky and the transparent barrier formed by the lightning-dispelling array that covered Wei Ying and Lan Zhan was much more intense than before.
The unparalleled pressure brought about by the increasingly fierce battle prompted the lightning-dispelling array to autonomously increase its operational intensity, activating previously unused effects one by one!
As the defensive differentiation ability of the lightning dispelling array upgraded autonomously, the transparent barrier that appeared to the outside, as thin as morning mist, instantly solidified and thickened to a thickness of one finger. The number of sparse red lights wandering within it also increased several times in an instant, filling almost two-thirds of the entire semi-circular barrier. Its dazzling light made Wei Ying and Lan Zhan inside look exceptionally bright!
"Hiss...! Lan Zhan, why is this tribulation lightning so powerful?"
Unaware of the situation outside the Burial Mound, Wei Ying was dumbfounded by the sudden surge in power of the tribulation lightning. With a look of utter disbelief, he telepathically asked Lan Zhan opposite him, "We're just undergoing a minor Golden Core tribulation, is it really necessary for Heaven to be so agitated? It's only the fourth tribulation lightning strike, yet it's already unleashing such earth-shattering, cataclysmic power! Judging by its force, it seems intent on instantly reducing us to ashes!!"
"Tsk tsk, judging by its sheer power, even my painstakingly set up ultimate formation might not withstand more than a few strikes! Lan Zhan, it seems we still have no choice but to get up close and personal with this tribulation lightning!"
"No! I still don't understand! It's just a matter of us going through a tribulation, how come it's like we've stirred up the Heavenly Dao's lair..."
Talking on and on!
Wei Ying's mouth was like a machine gun with unlimited bullets. Without Lan Zhan's reply, he opened and closed his mouth and uttered a string of words. Clearly, the unexpected commotion from the Heavenly Dao had made him somewhat unhappy!
Lan Zhan could only helplessly curl the corners of his lips at Wei Ying's endless complaints. Didn't he know very well why the Heavenly Dao was reacting so strongly?
The original novel, "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation," is set in a low-magic world according to the author's design. Although it is called a world of immortal cultivation and has a considerable number of Golden Core cultivators, strictly speaking, it is inferior to some top-tier worlds in low-martial arts genres in every aspect, let alone a true traditional cultivation world!
Moreover, they follow the classical and traditional cultivation system, and the significance of their Golden Core condensation is several times greater than that of the Golden Core realm in the general cultivation world!
Therefore, their actions at this moment are actually a provocation against the authority of the underlying logic that runs through the world order derived from "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation"!
In this respect, it is only reasonable that the Heavenly Dao would target them with extreme harshness, isn't it?
Although Lan Zhan thought this to himself, he understood that Wei Ying's behavior was just an attempt to find an opportunity to chat with him, and not because he was truly puzzled. Therefore, he did not say anything to discourage Wei Ying's incessant rambling, but listened attentively.
Not long after, with Wei Ying's clear voice still echoing in his ears, Lan Zhan stared intently at Wei Ying. In the corner of his eye, he noticed that the red-glowing barrier around them had been mixed with wisps of blue-purple light flashing with electricity. He immediately realized that the tribulation lightning stored in the array after being absorbed and differentiated by the barrier had reached its limit and was about to transfer the power of the tribulation lightning to the two of them in batches for refinement.
With a thought, Lan Zhan looked up at the point of close combat at the top of the barrier and transmitted his voice in a deep voice: "Wei Ying, concentrate and focus on refining the tribulation lightning. The barrier is about to absorb, divide, and transmit the power of the tribulation lightning!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying looked closely and indeed, the entire barrier was filled with flickering lightning, and the tribulation lightning in the sky was still falling like it was free. Judging from the situation, this tribulation lightning would last for a long time before it subsided and ended.
Faced with this situation, Wei Ying could only close his eyes resignedly, his lips twitching, preparing to concentrate on receiving and refining the tribulation power that was about to be transmitted from the barrier. Of course, he didn't forget to throw out an extremely speechless remark: "Lan Zhan, I think if the Heavenly Dao continues to be so generous in giving us free replenishment of pure and massive energy, we might smoothly step into the peak of the Golden Core realm before we even finish this top-tier Four-Nine Golden Core Tribulation, or even break through the core and form a Nascent Soul after the tribulation ends!"
