Chapter 1832: Teaching a Technique to the Thunder Tribulation

Before the long blade even reached him, the muscles of his arm were stripped away!

No wonder it was a calamity that shattered the void—truly terrifying!

With a roar, Zhang Xuan mobilized all his power: true qi, physical body, and soul shaman—a trinity—and in an instant, space became viscous.

The Ancient Sage Tribulation was the Heavenly Dao's oppression of cultivators, forcing them to undergo transformation. Using weapons would weaken its effect, and worse, it might trigger a transformation, making the calamity even greater and unfathomable.

For instance, the Out-of-Body Tribulation: the power differs entirely whether one person or two cross it.

For this reason, he did not use the Dragon Bone Divine Spear but instead resisted with his own strength.

Rip!

The combined attack was powerful, hard for ordinary Ancient Sages at the Hundred Schools of Thought realm to break through in a short time, but before the thunderblade in the sky, it was as laughable as child's play. In an instant, the barrier was torn apart, and then all the muscles on Zhang Xuan's upper body were stripped away, revealing white bones.

Pain!

He was not yet at the Dripping Blood Rebirth realm. The separation of flesh and bone brought intense pain, assaulting his mind and making him dizzy.

Whoosh!

His clothes turned to ashes, evaporating cleanly in the blink of an eye, leaving him a withered skeleton.

The Thunder Soldier Tribulation was too terrifying—it was simply not something his current realm could withstand.

From resisting the great blade to having his muscles and blood drained dry, he had lasted less than two breaths, and yet the long blade had not fully descended.

If mere aura could reduce him to this state, when it actually came down, he would likely be chopped into powder.

I've overplayed my hand...

A thought arose in his mind.

He had originally thought that with this opportunity, he might be able to break through to Ancient Sage in both body and true qi. He never expected to have played too big a game, one he could no longer handle.

But wanting to kill me, Zhang Xuan, is not that easy!

Knowing that if he held back any longer, he would surely die, he moved his spirit, and an identical physical body abruptly appeared before him, flying straight toward the long blade in the sky.

The clone!

Hey, original body, can't even block a single thunderbolt? How embarrassing! Watch me break it with one blow!

As soon as it appeared, the clone roared with pride and flew straight to meet the long blade.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and once again took out the Dripping Blood Rebirth level ancient god blood to nourish his whole body.

At this moment, he was nothing but a skeleton. Without this item, he would surely have died long ago.

Under the nourishment of the blood, the muscles that had disappeared slowly began to recover, but the speed was very slow. It seemed that without several years, it would be hard to fully restore. Still, at least he could recover and not die on the spot.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan looked up at the clone in the sky.

The clone was also unable to withstand the great blade in the sky, but this fellow's body was refined from the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo. When the long blade split him in two, he would recombine like liquid, leaving the Thunder Soldier Tribulation helpless for the time being.

Is that a clone?

Such a powerful clone—doesn't that make him virtually immortal?

The people around saw the clone for the first time, their faces full of astonishment.

Mo Ling Ancient Sage in particular trembled with excitement.

What a soul shaman desired most was such a body—indestructible and immortal. Possessing it meant eternal life, with nothing left to fear.

Still too weak, can't hold it off...

Seeing that although the clone slowed the long blade's descent, it still kept falling, and would soon split him into oblivion, Zhang Xuan could no longer care about anything else. With a flick of his wrist, the Sage Trace Stone appeared again and shot straight toward the clone.

Zzzz!

The Sage Trace Stone still contained nearly half its soul power—about fifty thousand Saint Domain experts' souls—which surged into the clone's body.

This fellow was originally formed from half of Zhang Xuan's soul. Suddenly fusing with so much soul power, his strength skyrocketed in the blink of an eye.

Crack! Crack!

After more than ten breaths, he broke through the shackles of the Indestructible Realm Great Perfection and charged toward the Ancient Saint level.

The scroll unfolded, and the power of the Ancient Saint poured into the other's body.

Boom!

The clone soon broke through the barrier and surged to a higher realm.

It wasn't that the clone's talent surpassed the original body's, but rather that the latter had experienced this before, and this time, without holding back, their souls communicated and shared experience.

Thus, success was achieved in one go.

Boom!

As soon as the clone broke through, dark clouds gathered again, and the long blade absorbed thunder and heavenly fire, becoming even more powerful.

"..."

Zhang Xuan's brows twitched.

He had thought that letting the clone break through would block the Thunder Soldier Tribulation, but unexpectedly, as soon as this guy broke through, it attracted another wave...

He and the clone shared the same soul, which meant this was already the fourth thunder tribulation...

After absorbing the thunder brought by the clone, the long blade doubled in size, pitch-black like ink. Under the pressure, the sky shattered into cracks, and its power was so great that even the Dragon Bone Divine Spear dared not contend with it.

His scalp tingling, Zhang Xuan felt his skeleton could be ground to powder at any moment.

"If it comes down, we'll surely die!"

Knowing the power of the long blade, Zhang Xuan followed behind the clone and charged forward.

This blade was too terrifying; if not stopped, death was certain.

Zizi zi!

The long blade, carrying the power to dissolve everything, slashed onto the clone's body, tearing open a huge gash.

Even though this guy had broken through to Ancient Saint, he still couldn't withstand such a mighty calamity.

Boom!

Resisting together with the clone, they tore through the sky, and the descending speed of the long blade indeed slowed.

However, with their strength, they still couldn't hold it off completely.

"Quick, find someone about to break through, someone who can attract a thunder tribulation..."

Knowing that if it came down, they would definitely be struck dead, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Chen Yonghuang.

"Tribulation? Someone who can attract a thunder tribulation?"

Everyone was stunned, but Chen Yonghuang knew that the young master must have his reasons for doing this, so he didn't ask further and turned to Liu Yang beside him: "Go find someone..."

"Okay!"

Liu Yang nodded and quickly found a strong cultivator in his team who was on the verge of breaking through to the Ninth Level of Saint Domain, ready to break through at any moment.

A surge of power poured into his body, and he immediately succeeded in breaking through, also attracting dense thunderclouds.

"Great..."

Seeing this thunder tribulation, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, he hurriedly called out: "Little Tribulation, is that you?"

The Thunder Soldier Tribulation before him was clearly not the one he was familiar with. He could only find that familiar one and see if there was any connection between the thunders, to have it persuade this one.

Boom!

The dark clouds above the other's head, upon hearing the shout, trembled, twisted their body, and involuntarily flew over.

"I have a method to increase thunder power, and I'll teach it to you now... but you must block this great blade for me..."

Zhang Xuan used his Heaven-Bestowed Teaching technique and quickly explained a set of formulas in detail.

He had seen this guy's flaws before and had long prepared guidance; now he just followed the plan and spoke it out.

"This is... instructing a thunder tribulation?"

"Is this thunder tribulation its pet?"

Everyone was stunned.
