BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1226: Thunder Tribulation
Chapter 1226: Thunder Tribulation
Lu Yun had told Miao Qimiao to deliver this spiel. Otherwise, if those assembled in Meteorite Peak couldn’t see any hope facing off against a horrifying ghost king and endless ghostly entities within the mountain, they’d crumble mentally and just wait for death.
But now that they knew that there were two supplemental grandmasters hidden in the shadows, preparing a secret method to contend against the ghost king, morale soared to new heights. They focused all effort on the enemy in front of them to buy time for the grandmasters.
……
Though Lu Yun was concentrating on refining a pill, he was extremely nervous and operating Spacetime Reincarnation at its utmost.
During the process, thought upon domineering thought continuously swept over Meteorite Peak. Though the green clad Meteorite King had hidden himself, he hadn’t given up on locating Lu Yun and the little fox. He used his consciousness to scan every inch of the mountain.
The little fox deployed her illusions to their greatest; all of the beads on her wrist were alight and a haze of purple radiance floated over her illusions.
This was the strength of Purple King Lu Qing.
Being a peak king, Lu Qing stood at the forefront of the kings. He could crush the Meteorite King with a single finger, and so his power ensured that the ghost king wasn’t able to discover the formation of illusions for the moment.
On the other hand, the little fox wasn’t a king herself and the beads on her wrist weren’t the Purple King in the flesh. It was just a treasure imbued with his strength, but she faced a bonafide king.
“Hurry!” she suddenly shrieked. “The Meteorite King’s about to discover us!”
“Almost done!” Lu Yun split his attentions between operating the Spacetime Reincarnation combat art and refining the pill.
“What?!” he gasped. “A pill tribulation?! There’s a pill tribulation for the Eight Treasures Return Pill?!”
Rumble—
Black tribulation clouds gathered without warning and covered the mountain peak. Though the Eight Treasures Return Pill wasn’t a premier pill in the Hongmeng, its effects were heaven defying. To easily catapult a being beneath the third realm into the Hongmeng proper?
Yet not even Lu Yun had thought the pill would attract a heavenly tribulation!
Purple lightning howled within the black clouds and suddenly gathered itself together to smite a certain point in Meteorite Peak.
“Found you! So you’re refining a pill!” The green clad Meteorite King abruptly materialized and stared fixedly at a tiny speck of dust. With his full concentration on that point, he immediately saw through the little fox’s formation. “So you’re two people and one of you is a formation grandmaster! Die!!”
He was faster than the thunder tribulation and arrived before the lightning struck. Wielding a large bone pennant, he viciously swept it down Lu Yun and the little fox.
“Piss off!!” The little fox stepped forward and called thirty-six points of purple light to her, coalescing as a bright purple moon. The moonlight was as keen as a blade and stabbed forward at the nearby Meteorite King.
“What?!” Highly dismayed, he reversed the pennant sweep and brought it horizontally in front of him.
Wham!
He shrieked and flew backward from the terrible collision.
“A king level treasure!! How do you have a king level treasure on you?!” Full of confusion, the green clad king flailed with shock and bafflement.
Even Hongmeng kings rarely possessed a corresponding level treasure. As a ghost king hidden deep within the realm, it was impossible for the Meteorite King to own one. The bone pennant in his hands was just a superior realm treasure.
Oddmoon was currently purple due to the Purple King’s strength running through it, and it’d been fashioned by three kings of Mangcang Mountain. It’d never been revealed in the Hongmeng, so naturally the Meteorite King wouldn’t be familiar with it.
“He’s discovered our position and war treasures won’t be able to fire on him. Come on, think of something!” Muttering beneath the purple moon, minor fractures had appeared on the little fox’s beads.
Lu Qing had gifted them to his mother for self defense, but he’d never imagined that she’d one day face a king!
Though the little fox was growing frantic, she remained solidly in front of Lu Yun. She wasn’t afraid of death, there was still the Resurrection Talisman inside of her, so she had another life to play with!
Instead, she fretted over the possibility of the Meteorite King destroying the cauldron of pills.
“The king level treasure is mine!” Greed dawned on the king’s face. “Get away, ants!”
He delivered a casual backhand and slapped away all of the cultivators charging him, then once more rushed the two grandmasters.
The little fox had fully released the power within the thirty-six beads and directed it to Oddmoon, turning it deep purple. Lu Yun looked at the pill tribulation descending upon him, splayed his fingers, then… Thunder Palmstrike!
Rumble—
Bolts of purple lightning went straight into his palm and transformed into beads that hung on the six paths of his nascent spirit. Purple electricity crackled around him, filling the air with a purple haze. His clothes and hair floated from the strong electric current.
“Move!” He pointed with his other hand and released a bolt of lighting.
RUMBLE!!
An immense electrical current formed the image of a dragon and smote the Meteorite King. Eyes wide open, black smoke wafted off the king and set his green robes on fire.
He was a ghost and a pill tribulation was heavenly thunder!
Lightning and thunder from the heavens were the antithesis of yin entities!
Though this level of tribulation wouldn’t truly harm a Hongmeng ghost king, if combined with the little fox’s injection of the Purple King’s strength into Oddmoon, the two would possess enough bite to injure the Meteorite King.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
White smoke swirled out from the bone pennant and slowly covered the Meteorite King, separating him from the purple lightning and moonlight.
A puppet suddenly appeared in front of him and cracked a broad grin, then self detonated!
“What the fuck?!” he cursed loudly. “You just ignited a premium purple crystal vein!!”
The white smoke barrier around him was completely dispelled and a second puppet appeared in front of him, flashing him the same grin.
He wanted to vomit blood; he’d recognized these puppets as the six strange fellows he’d flattened earlier. So they’d recovered?!
More importantly, he finally understood why the six could bizarrely release king level power. Their core essence was a premium purple crystal vein!
BOOM!
The second puppet exploded and almost took the bone pennant with it.
Lu Yun carefully controlled their direction of attack, directing them to the rear of the Meteorite King and out of the little fox’s way. His Thunder Palmstrike finally finished swallowing the pill tribulation, and he swiftly grabbed two pills when the final bolt of lightning arced towards the king.
Shoving one into his mouth and the other into the little fox’s, he stowed the pill cauldron.
In the shocked gazes of the Meteorite King and rest of the cultivators, the receding tribulation clouds regathered and were a hundred times more dense than before!
“You can die now, Meteorite King.” Lu Yun turned his palm toward the sky and splayed his fingers…
Scintillating radiance sank into his hand and bereft of protection from the bone pennant, the king shuddered with horror.
