Ye Qiu swiftly rushed to the elder’s side, not striking him with fists but relentlessly attacking the tribulation lightning.
Soon, the tribulation erupted.
“Boom!”
From the heavens, several beams of immense lightning descended, as if intent on sinking the small island.
The elder, unable to move and with Ye Qiu cleverly dodging, could only watch as the lightning struck him.
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed from the elder’s body, his flesh torn and mangled, nearly pierced through by the lightning.
Indeed, a King Realm expert was formidable.
The elder withstood several tribulation strikes and still didn’t die.
In an instant, thirty seconds passed.
The elder could move again.
Ye Qiu leapt, appearing above the elder’s head, suppressing him with the Qiankun Cauldron.
“Get lost!”
The elder, battered by the lightning and burning with rage to tear Ye Qiu apart, struck out with a palm the moment he could move.
This palm carried his full force.
As he struck, the immense power surged like a tempest, utterly terrifying.
Clearly, the elder aimed to shatter the Qiankun Cauldron, crush Ye Qiu, and vent his hatred.
But as his palm force shot out, Ye Qiu dodged, shifting the Qiankun Cauldron aside.
“Bang!”
The massive palm force struck a tribulation lightning.
“Damn it—”
The elder’s face changed, and he turned to flee, but it was too late.
His strike had fully enraged the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom!”
Seven purple lightning bolts, like seven ferocious dragons, dove from the sky, all targeting the elder.
“Swish!”
The elder dodged, trying to escape, but the seven bolts pursued him as if they had eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu’s face lit up with a triumphant smile.
After all his efforts, he had finally dragged the elder into the tribulation.
The elder was fast, reaching a kilometre away in a blink, but the tribulation was faster.
The seven purple bolts caught up instantly.
Unable to evade, the elder had to fight back.
If he didn’t, the seven bolts would strike him, and he’d be obliterated.
With no choice, the elder threw several punches, confronting the tribulation.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
His punches were powerful, shaking the heavens and earth.
But he couldn’t stop the tribulation and was blasted hundreds of metres away, gravely injured.
Instead of rage, the elder laughed.
“You little bastard, didn’t expect this, did you? You worked so hard to summon the tribulation, yet it didn’t kill me.”
“I’ll tell you, I’ve escaped the tribulation’s range now, untouchable.”
“But you, provoking the tribulation again and again, I don’t believe you can withstand its strikes this time.”
Ye Qiu laughed too, “Old man, you really think you’ve escaped the tribulation?”
The elder sneered, “Haven’t I?”
“Look up,” Ye Qiu pointed at the sky.
The elder looked, his face paling.
Above, thick thunderclouds formed a massive vortex.
Within it, lightning surged, electric serpents danced, and a chilling aura enveloped the world.
The elder’s hair stood on end, unease gripping him.
With no time to think or attack Ye Qiu, he fled into the distance.
“Too late, you can’t escape.”
As Ye Qiu spoke, the tribulation descended.
“Boom!”
Eighty-one tribulation bolts, like eighty-one thunderous beasts, wove into a massive cage, descending from the sky.
Instantly, they trapped the elder.
Then, hundreds of tribulation bolts rushed from the heavens.
Each bolt, black as ink, radiated a world-destroying aura, all striking the elder.
Ye Qiu smiled.
His plan had succeeded.
Not only had he dragged the elder into the tribulation, but he’d forced him to face it.
In other words, even if the elder was utterly unwilling, he had to confront the tribulation now.
“Damn it, you keep coming to kill me, and I’ll keep summoning tribulations. Old man, I don’t believe you won’t die.”
Boom—
Hundreds of tribulation bolts formed a terrifying storm, vast and surging like ocean waves.
The immense thunder, like a nuclear explosion, made the earth tremble as if frightened by the tribulation.
“How long can that old man hold out against such a powerful tribulation?”
Ye Qiu wondered, “Three minutes? Ten minutes? Half an hour?”
Boom!
Finally, the hundreds of bolts struck the cage, lightning surging, lights converging, making it impossible to see what happened inside.
Ye Qiu quickly activated his Heavenly Eye, peering in.
The next second, he was stunned.
After the hundreds of bolts struck, the elder resisted desperately but didn’t last three seconds before being shattered by the tribulation.
Soon, the hundreds of bolts vanished without a trace, as if they’d never existed.
Ye Qiu no longer sensed the elder’s presence, not even a drop of blood or a fragment of bone.
The elder had turned to ash under the tribulation.
“Finally dead.”
Ye Qiu sighed in relief, but his heart leapt to his throat.
Though the elder was dead, his own tribulation wasn’t over.
“Boom!”
Five lightning bolts descended from the sky.
Ye Qiu noticed this tribulation was different.
His previous tribulations had purple lightning, but these five bolts were of five colours.
“This is… Five-Coloured Heavenly Thunder!”
Ye Qiu’s face changed.
The five-coloured thunder, like five immense dragons, roared down from the sky, world-destroying.
“Why is my Foundation Establishment tribulation so powerful?”
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu took out the Heaven-Avoiding Pill given by Ziyang Tianzun and swallowed it.
Soon, a strange sensation washed over him.
Ye Qiu felt his body incredibly light, like a feather, almost transcendent.
The five-coloured thunder seemed to lose its target, circling in the air before returning to the thunderclouds.
Moments later, the thunderclouds vanished, leaving a clear sky.
“The Heaven-Avoiding Pill is incredible, helping me pass the tribulation effortlessly.”
Ye Qiu smiled broadly, but before he could savour the power of the Foundation Establishment realm, his body was flung back.
“Crack!”
Ye Qiu flew far, spitting blood, with multiple bones broken.
After landing, he quickly looked back, seeing two figures approaching side by side.
Bayi Building.
“Damn, two more King Realm experts!” The War God’s face paled.
Grandfather Ye could no longer stay calm, quickly pulling out his phone to make a call.
The call connected.
Grandfather Ye urgently said, “Wushuang, hurry to the uninhabited island in the East Sea. Ye Qiu is facing two King Realm experts, his life hangs by a thread!”
