Chapter 1504: Thunder Strikes the Icefield Palace

"You... have quite the nerve!"

Unexpectedly, the man before him had torn his master's robe and declared he would no longer be a master today. Elder Qu nearly exploded!

Being a master was a symbol of status; how could you just decide to be one or not?

If everyone treated it so frivolously, where would the dignity of the Master Hall be?

What rules would the number one profession in the world have?

"I have nerve? You have even more nerve! The Master Hall headquarters, which prides itself on rules, actually allows cultivators to use the technique of harvesting yin to activate physiques for some benefit, completely disregarding the cultivators' feelings and harming lives. The grand elder of the continent's most supreme Icefield Palace even placed a Heaven Binding Lock on her own junior because she was disobedient... I entrusted my good student to you, and it was I, Zhang Xuan, who was blind!"

The figure holding the girl slowly rose into the air, his voice growing louder: "Since that's the case, there's no need for such a filthy Icefield Palace to exist!"

"Whether the Icefield Palace should exist or not is not for a mere Void Ascension brat like you to decide!"

Hearing the man's increasingly outrageous words, You Ruoxin sneered coldly and was about to strike when her expression suddenly changed: "What's going on?"

The sky, which had been clear with countless stars, was now covered with dark clouds, and countless bolts of lightning coiled within, as if ready to burst forth at any moment.

"This is... the Void Tribulation? Is this fellow about to break through to the Void Realm?"

Elder Qu was stunned.

The man in the air kept shouting about revenge and destroying the Icefield Palace, but before making a move, he had summoned the Void Tribulation?

When crossing the tribulation, one could barely take care of oneself, life and death unknown—how could one have the energy to deal with others?

"Sharpening the spear on the battlefield is too late. What use is it to attempt the Void Realm now? The Icefield Palace, as the continent's most supreme power, is not to be trifled with!"

Seeing that the man, instead of repenting, was still trying to break through to the Void Realm, You Ruoxin sneered coldly, raised her palm, and her voice rang through the skies, seeming to suppress even the thunder.

"All disciples, hear my command! Someone has insulted our sect; it's time for you to fight for the Icefield Palace!"

"Yes!"

Swish!

As the words ended, all the disciples and elders of the Icefield Palace flew up simultaneously, hovering densely in the air as if forming a great formation.

The Icefield Palace, as a first-rate power on the continent second only to super families like the Zhangs and Luos, had an astonishing number of experts, with no fewer than several thousand super experts at the Eighth Layer of the Saint Domain!

"Just breaking through to the Void Realm and already spouting nonsense—it seems you have no idea what power the Icefield Palace truly holds..."

Watching the disciples and elders hover, You Ruoxin sneered coldly.

Not even reaching the Void Realm, even if he had some ability, so what?

In the face of absolute power, it counted for nothing.

"No, Grand Elder, that Void Tribulation seems off..."

Just as You Ruoxin was about to give the order to subdue this arrogant fool, Elder Qu's tense voice rang out.

"Hmm?"

You Ruoxin was puzzled.

For a dignified Nine-Star Master to be so alarmed, something major must have happened.

She quickly looked up at the Void Tribulation in the sky, and with a single glance, her pupils suddenly contracted.

The dark clouds in the sky were gathering thicker and thicker, growing larger and more bloated. In the blink of an eye, they had already covered tens of thousands of mu, and they showed no sign of stopping, as if they would engulf the entire Icefield Palace.

"A lightning tribulation covering tens of thousands of mu? Even the Universe Void Tribulation isn't this powerful..."

You Ruoxin's body stiffened, trembling.

The Universe Void Tribulation covering a few thousand mu was already astonishing. This man's Void Tribulation had gathered tens of thousands of mu of thunderclouds, ten times that—what was going on?

Summoning such a massive tribulation, even you yourself couldn't survive it!

"Ten thousand thunders, hear my command—destroy!"

Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan, holding Zhao Ya, glared coldly and shouted.

The thunder roared as if understanding his command, and countless bolts of lightning instantly descended from the dark clouds, striking straight at the surrounding buildings.

Boom! Boom, boom!

Dust filled the air, and the sound of collapse was everywhere. Countless buildings, unable to withstand the attack, shattered and fell to the ground.

"Protect the Icefield Palace..."

Never expecting that the Void Tribulation the man had summoned would obey his command, You Ruoxin's face turned pale with fright.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The many elders and disciples in the air shot straight toward the buildings, intending to use their own strength to block the thunder and protect the Icefield Palace's millennia-old heritage and structures.

Crack! Crack!

The thunder represented the power of the Heavenly Court; how could they withstand it? Thick bolts of lightning fell continuously, striking the flying disciples and elders, who, before they could react, plunged headfirst downward.

Though not fatal, they were completely paralyzed, unable to move for a short time.

"No..."

Stiff-bodied, You Ruoxin couldn't help but retreat, her face pale.

Elder Qu beside her also had his pupils constricted, as if he had seen a ghost.

That thunder obeyed a human's command was already shocking, but now it was actually following orders to attack... How was this possible?

No wonder the man dared to say he would destroy the Icefield Palace—with thunder falling, no one could stop him!

"I'll fight you to the death..."

Seeing the entire Icefield Palace's buildings completely destroyed, all formations shattered, leaving nothing, You Ruoxin was frantic. With a roar, she charged straight at Zhang Xuan.

This was her foundation, her sect. Destroyed, she was going mad!

"Get down!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Boom!

A thick bolt of lightning struck!

Before You Ruoxin could react, she was hit, and like the others, she fell from the air, scorched and blackened.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several hundred more bolts of lightning descended, striking You Ruoxin's back. In an instant, this formidable grand elder lay stiff on the ground, twitching uncontrollably, spitting blood with each spasm, her eyes rolling back, her fate unknown.

Back then, the Void Ascension Tribulation had been hard for even Grand Elder Zhang Wuchen of the Zhang family to withstand. The Void Tribulation was even stronger, and though You Ruoxin was a peak expert of the age, she still couldn't endure it.

"As a Nine-Star Master, you struck down with lethal force out of personal bias—you too deserve punishment..."

After striking You Ruoxin, Zhang Xuan turned to Elder Qu and pointed his finger.

Crack! Crack!

The next moment, countless bolts of lightning fell, engulfing Elder Qu.

"Zhao Ya, rest assured, your teacher will restore you to your former peak strength and fully activate your physique!"

Seeing that no one in the Icefield Palace could fly anymore, Zhang Xuan knew the thunder's power was nearly spent. He looked down at the girl in his arms, his eyes showing pain, then shook his body and flew straight into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the night, leaving no trace.
