From thinking it was fake to the final numbness.
This process did not take Brukhr Gura and his party much time.
Because!
As the Jie Lei Hua continued to bloom and then bombard down.
This process became incredibly swift at this very moment.
At first glance, no one would think that lightning was descending; they would believe it was merely raining.
And during this process, Ao Yuan remained unharmed, just as before.
No!
Let alone damage.
He didn't even let out the slightest whimper.
If they couldn't deeply feel the aura of the tribulation lightning, they would have thought Ao Yuan was merely playing a trick.
"Was the tribulation lightning I endured before fake?" Brukhr Gura's mouth twitched as he watched Ao Yuan calmly undergo his tribulation.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no matter how much someone told him that a creature could undergo tribulation so easily, he would never believe it.
This was truly too fake.
Looking at the others beside Brukhr Gura, although they remained silent, their gazes clearly indicated that their thoughts were no different from Brukhr Gura's.
At this moment!
Ao Yuan, submerged in countless bolts of lightning, narrowed his eyes as if enjoying the caress of the lightning.
His entire body crackled from the stimulation of the tribulation lightning, but it did not cause any harm to his physique.
Instead, it made his body even more powerful.
Even!
Under the forging of the tribulation lightning, his physique became increasingly tough and heavy, and faintly, he seemed capable of attracting the tribulation lightning itself!
Upon having this thought, Ao Yuan did not stop. Instead, he began to move, using his dragon clan innate talent to draw the tribulation lightning, slowly attracting it.
If he could truly control tribulation lightning of this level, his strength would undoubtedly reach a new height!
Unbeknownst to how much time had passed.
Brukhr Gura and his party, who had been watching Ao Yuan's tribulation from afar, suddenly trembled.
At this very moment.
All thirty-six Jie Lei Hua had been fully unleashed.
The tribulation clouds in the sky were visibly receding into the clouds at a visible pace.
And this undoubtedly indicated that Ao Yuan's tribulation was nearing its end.
"It's over already?"
Seeing this scene, the Succubus asked blankly.
Even now, she still felt a strong sense of disbelief.
These were thirty-six Jie Lei Hua!
Even in ancient times, no one dared to underestimate Jie Lei Hua!
But today, Ao Yuan had dealt with them so easily?
The others, upon hearing this, also stared blankly at Ao Yuan in the sky and the dissipating Jie Lei Hua, their eyes filled with profound disbelief.
"Gura, how about... we leave here first?"
Finally, the Succubus, who spoke first, withdrew her gaze. She looked at the others and said.
"If we wait for him to complete his tribulation, we will be completely no match for him."
As she said this, the Succubus's face was filled with bitterness.
Just a short while ago.
They had been certain that Ao Yuan would surely die under the heavenly tribulation, intending to seize a share of the spoils when Ao Yuan perished, allowing themselves to recover to their peak faster.
But now the situation was entirely different.
The heavenly tribulation had caused Ao Yuan no harm, and he had simply... simply passed it with unbelievable ease.
"Let's retreat first!"
Brukhr Gura silently withdrew his gaze, then shook his head and said, "As for after we separate, those who can return to the ancient battlefield should go back first."
"Those who cannot go back should find a safe place to hide and await an opportunity!"
"In short, absolutely do not let him find you!"
The others did not speak in response, but it was clear they tacitly agreed.
They had all fought with Ao Yuan before and naturally knew how powerful Ao Yuan was.
Even before his breakthrough, Ao Yuan could fight them for so long. After this breakthrough, who knew how much his strength had increased.
But even with their eyes closed, they knew.
Perhaps only Brukhr Gura could still catch Ao Yuan's eye, while the rest wouldn't even warrant a glance!
Now, wanting to absorb Ao Yuan's flesh and blood to restore themselves to their peak was akin to a fantasy!
"Where's the tribulation lightning? Come again!"
"Why is it gone! I'm not satisfied yet!"
However, just as they were about to leave, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed through heaven and earth!
Ao Yuan, his entire body crackling with lightning, stared fixedly at the dissipating Jie Lei Hua in the sky and roared continuously.
"This guy..."
Looking at Ao Yuan's figure, Brukhr Gura and his party's hearts were filled with an indescribable complexity.
Indeed, comparing oneself to others could drive one mad!
They were creatures left behind from the ancient era.
Upon emerging and discovering that the current Lan Star was in an era of declining magic, they had believed it was their time to dominate.
But up until now, they had realized that even in an era of declining magic, they were not the top tier.
"Let's... let's go!" Brukhr Gura finally shook his head, unwilling to say more.
However.
Rumble!
At this very moment, bolts of thunderous sound suddenly reverberated through heaven and earth.
At this instant, it was as if a deity roared.
The tribulation clouds that had originally receded reappeared.
Countless earth-shattering thunderclaps swept out from the tribulation clouds, resounding.
And!
These tribulation clouds had once again transformed into the appearance of Jie Lei Hua.
However, unlike before.
These Jie Lei Hua appeared extremely strange. Instead of being dark and ominous, they had become a deep crimson.
As the gentle breeze blew, something seemed to flash on the surface of these crimson Jie Lei Hua.
With the transformation of the Jie Lei Hua, an aura of world-ending power swept across the entire land.
The might that descended was fierce, far more terrifying than the previous Jie Lei Hua.
The most direct sensation was that merely looking at these newly appeared Jie Lei Hua filled their hearts with a sense of dread and powerlessness.
It was as if they were facing some ancient, man-eating ferocious beast.
"This... this is Jie Lei Hua?"
"No, this isn't Jie Lei Hua!"
Brukhr Gura and his party, watching the new Jie Lei Hua from afar, were stunned.
Even with their knowledge, they had never encountered Jie Lei Hua in such a form!
Pop pop pop!
The Jie Lei Hua suddenly bloomed at this moment.
They were incredibly brilliant and dazzling, as if capable of captivating souls, drawing them into a trance with just a single glance.
And when the Jie Lei Hua bloomed.
They then discovered that what these Jie Lei Hua contained was not tribulation lightning.
But fire!
With a mere glance.
Brukhr Gura felt his body rapidly shrivel.
Simultaneously, his body quickly turned black and began to smoke, as if the most scorching flame was burning within him.
"This is Heavenly Fire!"
Brukhr Gura seemed to recall something, his face contorting with fear.
"What these Jie Lei Hua have birthed is not tribulation lightning, but Heavenly Fire!"
"He is not undergoing the thirty-six Heavenly Tribulations, but the seventy-two Heavenly Tribulations!"
"Quick, let's go! If we don't leave, we will all die here!"
At these words, everyone's faces changed.
A deep dread instantly seized their eyes.
