Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Where Did Our Supreme Elder Come From?

The human-shaped charcoal was struck down to the ground by thunderbolt.

If the thunder tribulation was merely a physical attack, Lv Bai might have been able to endure it with the Steel Body, at most feeling numb from the pain.

But thunder tribulation, as a heavenly punishment, is far from simple.

Even if Lv Bai wasn’t entirely sure, he could sense the Yin and Yang Qi within the thunder, continually eroding the vitality of his body.

From afar, it seemed that the death aura emanating from the human-shaped charcoal was becoming more obvious.

The thunder tribulation one must face for ascension to immortality is a comprehensive test.

Merely having adequate cultivation isn’t enough; one must perfectly master essence, energy, spirit, soul, consciousness, and body.

Any shortfall in these aspects will become a flaw during the tribulation.

And Lv Bai, due to his rapid cultivation advancement, has certain deficiencies in each aspect.

As for his state of mind, it’s even worse. His emotional shifts are somewhat peculiar, allowing him to barely cope with the sudden heart demon tribulation, but it’s not enough to help him overcome it.

Under these circumstances, Lv Bai’s consciousness gradually became hazy; his thoughts disconnected under the intense pain of the thunder strikes.

Elder Wang, having escaped the range of the thunder tribulation, turned around and, upon witnessing this scene, was utterly despairing.

This was too far off; there’s no way to successfully pass through this thunder tribulation.

Immortal Tribulation is segmented, each segment containing nine thunderbolts.

The tribulation Lv Bai faced was clearly the topmost ninefold thunder tribulation.

A total of eighty-one thunderbolts; judging by the current situation, even getting past the first set of nine thunderbolts is unlikely.

Sure enough, as Elder Wang watched gravely, the first set of nine thunderbolts hadn’t even been completed before halting.

Subsequently, the thunderclouds dispersed at a speed defying physical laws, and the skies spanning hundreds of miles cleared once more.

"Too hasty."

Elder Wang sighed heavily with pain and sorrow.

Such clearly step-by-step cultivation, even if intermittently practiced, would certainly lead to ascension into the Immortal Realm, but in the end, resulted in death and cessation. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Regardless of personal ties, one can’t help but feel genuine regret.

Elder Wang contemplated, deciding to search for some remains, considering Lv Bai was an unprecedented genius in the history of their Cyan Hope Sect.

He returned to Purple Cloud Mountain, significantly altered by the thunder tribulation’s impact.

Traces of the original Purple Cloud Mountain were nowhere to be found, replaced by chaotic, jagged rocks.

As Elder Wang was at a loss on where to begin, he suddenly felt the Sound Transmission Talisman in his Storage Ring heat up.

He took it out and saw it was Master Yuxu contacting him, quickly responding with a message.

"Sect Leader, I might not have much time right now."

However, Master Yuxu’s voice cut in directly through the Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Wang Du Gui! What in the Infinite Immortal Venerable are you up to?! Why are so many Immortal Sects sending messages demanding an explanation from our Cyan Hope Sect?"

Elder Wang was slightly panicked.

He didn’t know how to explain that he had led the Sect Leader’s True Disciple, only for them to disappear.

Then he suddenly remembered that the incident of over a hundred Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators dying hadn’t concluded yet.

Every Divinity Transformation Stage elder represents an Immortal Sect, and their Cyan Hope Sect, with its small arms and legs, couldn’t possibly withstand such discontent from the Immortal Sects.

"Are you mute? Speak!"

Elder Wang was entirely numb, unable to bear such a hefty blame.

He carefully selected his words and, with a wooden tone said, "Uh... it was Lv, Lv Bai. He’s still young, impulsive, and accidentally eliminated the fellow Immortals of those Immortal Sects."

"..."

Master Yuxu remained silent for a long while.

After a moment, he spoke irritably, "Remarkable, accidentally, huh? He doesn’t understand, but don’t you understand? The Initial Dao Assembly young generation’s duel can indeed lead to casualties, but wasn’t this excessive?

Was every Immortal Sect’s disciple eliminated by him? Hard not to view our Cyan Hope Sect as the Demon Dao."

Master Yuxu paused, "Oh, well, things have escalated; I’ll think of a way to mitigate it. At least we publicly hold legitimate grounds."

Elder Wang abruptly interrupted Master Yuxu’s message.

With difficulty, he said, "Sect Leader, I mean the Immortal Sect fellows, are my fellow Immortals."

"What yours mine? The Immortal Sects in Xuan Province are like one family, all are fellow Immortals..."

Master Yuxu’s message suddenly cut off.

It quickly reconnected, "By the Infinite Immortal Venerable, repeat that for me! Who did that kid eliminate?!"

Wang Elder, with a ’let the chips fall where they may’ mindset, directly replied, "All of them, Lv Bai eliminated all the Immortal Sects’ leading elders."

"...you’re not joking with me, right?"

"Would other Immortal Sects be joking with you too?"

"But how dare he? Where did he have the skill?"

"How should I know? His cultivation realm mysteriously reached Mahayana Stage, and with one move, he eliminated over a hundred Divinity Transformation cultivators."

"Hm? Mahayana Stage?"

Master Yuxu’s anxiousness transformed into calm upon hearing the words ’Mahayana Stage’: "Is it certain?"

If it’s slander, one might panic or feel wronged.

But now, with a genuinely large-scale weapon, there’s nothing to fear.

"Given the circumstances, Elder Wang, quickly return to the Sect with the Supreme Elder, and we’ll discuss an action plan."

"Where do we get a Supreme Elder in our Cyan Hope Sect?" Elder Wang paused in confusion.

Master Yuxu unhesitatingly replied, "That’s naturally Elder Lü; henceforth, he is our Cyan Hope Sect’s Supreme Elder."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wang suddenly felt a toothache: "If—just suppose—Elder Lü has already ascended?"

Master Yuxu: "..."

...

Crack~

The human-shaped charcoal covered in rubble showed cracks, with occasional arcs of electricity still flickering.

Lv Bai slowly raised his arm, emitting a fine crackling sound.

Indeed, he hadn’t died from the thunder tribulation but hadn’t passed through it either.

To be honest, when facing the heart demon tribulation, he realized he absolutely couldn’t continue.

Not to mention Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Techniques, he was far from controlling his own power.

His foundation too weak, he couldn’t possibly overcome this thunder tribulation,

Based on that realization, he resolutely severed his own cultivation realm with a strike while still conscious.

No longer in the Mahayana Stage, naturally there’s no talk of ascension, thus the thunder tribulation vanished without a target.

Rustling~

Feeling somewhat recovered, Lv Bai abruptly stood up, shaking off the charcoal surrounding him, then manipulated water vapor to wash himself off.

"Alright, let me see how much time has passed."
