Chapter 1470: The Killing Intent Arises

"This thunder tribulation is too powerful. My current strength can barely withstand it. I wanted to see if you have any books on the Cave Void realm, to see if there's a chance to break it... Otherwise, if it descends as is, I'm afraid the Zhang family will be destroyed!"

Scratching his head, Zhang Xuan said.

"Are you threatening me?" The Grand Elder's face turned ashen.

"Of course not, it's just... the thunder is too strong, I can't control it either!"

Shaking his head, he was about to continue speaking when he saw the lightning in the sky had gathered its power, could no longer hold it, and struck down at his protruding head.

Zhang Xuan quickly retracted it.

Crack!

The lightning fell, tearing apart the formation on the ground, and the hall inscribed with the character "sword" was immediately split open with a huge hole, debris flying.

The thunder only targeted the one undergoing the tribulation; hiding within it, it couldn't strike, but once exposed, it naturally attacked fiercely.

"..."

The Grand Elder clenched his fists.

If it were anyone else daring to do this, he would have rushed up and crushed them long ago, but since the other party was within the thunder, going over would only make the thunder stronger, and even he might not be able to dodge. So he gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeve: "If you want to see our Zhang family's secret manuals, you must join the Zhang family and become a member. Otherwise, absolutely impossible!"

His voice pierced the sky.

"Become a member of the Zhang family?" Zhang Xuan poked his head out again: "Forget it, I'll find a way to resist!"

The Zhang family was so shameless; he would avoid them if he could. Join them... dream on!

Crack!

A bolt of lightning, Zhang Xuan retracted his head again.

Another building was destroyed.

"You... your own thunder, if you have the ability, resist it yourself. Hiding within the thunder, what kind of skill is that!"

The Grand Elder was about to go mad, shouting loudly.

"Resist it myself? That's right!"

Pausing for a moment, Zhang Xuan knew that hiding like this wouldn't allow him to get through the tribulation. Gritting his teeth, he emerged from the dark clouds and came directly beneath them.

Since he could no longer absorb, staying inside was pointless. He might as well try to withstand it like others and get through the tribulation first.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as he came below, the tribulation lightning seemed to find an outlet, and furious bolts struck straight down.

Dozens of lightning bolts, each as thick as a water vat, converged together, tearing space itself, leaving black cracks around.

"So strong!"

He hadn't expected the other party to be so ruthless, striking without mercy, filled with boundless fury. Zhang Xuan was startled and quickly raised both hands to meet it.

Rumble!

The two forces clashed, and Zhang Xuan couldn't hold on. He was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into the earth. The thunder continued to strike, shaking the ground, destroying countless formations and buildings.

It was even more devastating than when he only showed his head.

"Damn it..."

The Grand Elder's face twitched incessantly, his teeth nearly ground to dust.

Judging by the power of the tribulation, if it continued like this, within five minutes, the Zhang family would cease to exist, completely reduced to ruins.

The number one family on the continent, threatened by a mere Domain realm小家伙, and yet there was nothing they could do... Intense rage made him feel like he was about to explode.

"Grand Elder, what do we do now? He really is undergoing tribulation... and it's the Entering Void tribulation. If we don't find a solution, once word gets out that the Zhang family was destroyed by this kind of tribulation..."

His face flushed, Zhang Wuchen hurriedly said.

If it were a Cosmic Void tribulation or a higher-level tribulation that destroyed the Zhang family, it might be acceptable. But the Entering Void tribulation was considered extremely low-level. If such thunder destroyed the family... once word spread, how could the number one family on the continent show its face?

"There are two ways to go now!"

Clenching his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart, the Grand Elder looked over coldly.

"First, let him go to the library and cooperate with him to resolve the thunder."

"This... the library houses the Zhang family's countless years of techniques, extremely precious. If he goes in, the thunder will surely strike, and then... everything will be destroyed, which would completely ruin the Zhang family's foundation. Absolutely not..." Zhang Wuchen quickly shook his head.

Even if the situation was critical and they made an exception to let him read, the thunder was chasing him. If he went in, the library would definitely be destroyed. How could they face their ancestors then?

Destroying the foundation would mean the Zhang family was finished from then on.

"Then there's the second method!" The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes: "Kill this Zhang Xuan! This is his tribulation. Once he dies, it will naturally dissipate, and there will be no more danger!"

"Kill him?"

Zhang Wuchen shrank his neck.

Casually killing a master teacher, though against the rules of the Master Teacher Pavilion, was admittedly the best solution.

The tribulation followed him; as long as he died, it would naturally disperse, posing no further threat.

"But... this Zhang Xuan is a student of Teacher Yang. If we kill him directly, I'm afraid Teacher Yang will be furious."

Zhang Wuchen hesitated.

They knew Teacher Yang's strength very well. Killing his student without his consent would cross a line. If he got angry and fell out with the Zhang family, the loss would be too great for even the family elders to bear.

"Even if he gets angry, we can't care about that now! Do you have a better idea?"

The Grand Elder flicked his sleeve.

"I..."

Zhang Wuchen was speechless.

With such a violent tribulation, apart from these two options, there really was no other way.

"He just said he was looking for books on the Cave Void realm. If it's absolutely necessary, we could give him some techniques, let the tribulation end first, and then find a way to settle accounts... Since he dared to say that, he probably already has a method, just lacks the books to do it."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Wuchen said.

To be honest, whether taking him to the library or killing him were both last resorts. The best way was to resolve the thunder. As for the leakage of techniques and how to make him join the Zhang family, those were matters for later. First, they had to deal with the current situation.

"What use is finding Cave Void techniques? Can he break through to the Cave Void realm right now? Besides, breaking through to Cave Void would bring the Cave Void tribulation, which would be even stronger and harder to control!"

The Grand Elder shook his head.

He didn't think giving him Cave Void techniques would solve the problem.

Even if this guy managed to break through to Cave Void, it would attract an even more powerful Cave Void tribulation, causing greater danger.

Maybe this guy thought this tribulation wasn't enough to completely destroy the Zhang family and wanted to bring a bigger one!

If he agreed, he would definitely become a sinner for all eternity!

Rumble!

While they were talking, the thunder continued to strike. This time, it was even more powerful, destroying more formations and toppling more buildings.

After two rounds of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky weakened slightly. Zhang Xuan, caught in the storm, was charred all over and looked somewhat exhausted.

Although he had broken through to the peak of the Entering Void realm, this tribulation was too terrifying. Even though a lot of its power had been absorbed, it was still hard to withstand.

"Now is the time. Every year, not a few are struck to death while unable to withstand the tribulation... I suppose even Teacher Yang can't say much."

The Grand Elder's gaze turned cold.
