Chapter 1620: Chapter 1279: Monster
On this day, Li Zhirui, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to pierce through the cave mansion above his head, looking towards the nine heavens.
There, a vast amount of Spiritual Energy converged, transforming into thick tribulation clouds, with thunder roaring and purple lightning leaking thin traces of power through the gaps, enough to make one feel terrified.
In the next instant, Li Zhirui, sitting cross-legged on a mat, transformed into a wisp of Spirit Light, flew out of the cave mansion, and stood on open ground, quietly waiting for the Tribulation Thunder to descend.
"Is Ancestor Rui also about to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm? This is the third Earth Immortal in the family tree in a hundred years!"
"Ancestor Rui and Ancestor Xuan are truly extraordinary, truly living up to being the last two ’Zhi’ generation ancestors of the family, chasing each other and never yielding."
"This is what truly makes great mentors and friends! Supporting and helping each other, who knows where my own such person is now."
...
The clan members were discussing excitedly, perhaps due to the recent success of Yuhong and Li Zhixuan in passing through the violent and terrifying Thunder Tribulation unscathed, they had great confidence in Li Zhirui’s breakthrough!
Even during their observations, they were in the mood to joke.
Li Zhirui also learned from his clan’s conversations about Yuhong and Li Zhixuan having successfully broken through, and joy flickered in his heart but quickly returned to calmness, welcoming the Thunder Tribulation in the most perfect state!
Rumble——
The first Tribulation Thunder struck, marking the beginning of the Thunder Tribulation.
The crimson Tribulation Thunder resembled a gigantic Fire Dragon, fiercely and savagely rushing towards Li Zhirui.
In the next instant, endless sea water surged from The Void, raising waves upon waves of huge surf, immediately swallowing the Tribulation Thunder completely.
"Why is it raining again!"
"Will the power of the Thunder Tribulation be enhanced?"
"This is Jiu’s Divine Power, not natural precipitation."
Somehow, fine drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the surrounding moisture became extremely dense, as if one were in water.
Under the irrigation of abundant Spirit Water, a gigantic tree over a hundred meters tall appeared behind Li Zhirui, its enormous, heavy canopy sheltering him below.
Moreover, above it, there were layers of water screens blocking the Tribulation Thunder.
The violent Tribulation Thunder kept striking, but it never managed to approach within three meters of Li Zhirui, being neutralized and dispersed by various Divine Powers.
And his Mana seemed inexhaustible, never running out, and even after withstanding several Tribulation Thunders, his aura didn’t drop in the slightest.
About two hours later, after absorbing all the remaining power of the tribulation clouds, the final Tribulation Thunder finally struck down.
This time, the layers of water screens were pierced like brittle glass, turning into vapor and merging with the world instantly.
In the blink of an eye, the Tribulation Thunder appeared on the giant tree, which didn’t last long before being shattered.
Li Zhirui looked up at the Tribulation Thunder rushing towards him, his gaze calm, as if he didn’t care about it at all, and then suddenly! A giant Kun leapt from the ground, opening its mouth wide, and swallowed the Tribulation Thunder whole!
Inside the giant Kun were countless swiftly rotating whirlpools, continuously weakening the power of the Tribulation Thunder.
As the Tribulation Thunder was gradually worn down, the body of the giant Kun also quickly shrank.
If someone were to look at Li Zhirui’s face at this moment, it would be frighteningly pale!
Because this giant Kun was the manifestation of his Mana, its diminishing size indicated his rapid Mana consumption, which is why his complexion was so dreadful.
But fortunately, before his accumulated Mana was depleted, the Tribulation Thunder was exhausted first!
"Phew!"
Li Zhirui let out a long breath of foul air, his body staggering slightly, and with the Immortal Pill in his mouth refining, his complexion quickly improved.
After waiting for a few more breaths without seeing the Heart Demon appear, he looked up at the tribulation cloud with some confusion.
Only to see black light flickering in the tribulation cloud from time to time, as if some being was fighting.
He immediately understood, the Heart Demon was unwilling to respond to the summons of the Heavenly Dao, attempting to tempt and confuse him, a cultivator who just passed the Thunder Tribulation.
But no matter how unwilling, the Heart Demon Tribulation established by the Heavenly Dao still had to be overcome!
A ray of black light flew out from the tribulation cloud, but as soon as it entered Li Zhirui’s Sea of Consciousness, it was surrounded by a dazzling Spirit Light. With a scream, the body of the Heart Demon began to dissolve!
In just a short moment, the Heart Demon turned into ashes.
Li Zhirui, who mastered the Purification Principle, had nothing to fear from evil filth like the Heart Demon.
The moment the Heart Demon perished, the tribulation cloud also transformed into Spiritual Energy, becoming a giant pillar of support, enveloping him entirely.
Not long after, the pressure possessed by an Earth Immortal Cultivator began to spread around.
The pressure flashed for an instant, as if it had never appeared.
"Congratulations to Ancestor Rui for breaking through to the Earth Immortal!"
The rolling sound waves startled birds and beasts alike.
"Disperse for now, I’ll lecture on the Dao after I exit seclusion." Leaving these words, Li Zhirui returned to the cave mansion to stabilize his Realm.
...
"The Li family has another Earth Immortal now!"
"How many years has it been? The Li family has produced another Earth Immortal."
Loose Cultivators and those from small factions were envious, wishing they could have the same fortune.
The outside world was abuzz with gossip, and inside Mount Wanxian was also filled with joy.
Li Zhirui had promised to lecture on the Dao after he exited seclusion, and everyone there eagerly awaited his Realm stabilization to hear an Earth Immortal’s teachings.
It was said that after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, his Personal Space and Minor Thousand World both underwent massive changes.
Firstly, the area expanded several times over, with rich mountains, hills, plains, and forests.
