Before the Burial Corpse Secret Realm.
Whoosh~
As dozens of figures flashed out, in the next moment, Ye Xuan and his group emerged from the Burial Corpse Secret Realm. They were undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries of this trip.
"Hoo~"
"Finally out!!"
Yu Mengyan and the others let out a sigh of relief. After their arduous training, they had all reached the eighth level of the Star Realm, while Po Tian Lei Wang had soared to the peak of the first level of the Moon Realm.
At a certain moment.
"Hmm!"
Po Tian Lei Wang received a message and was surprised. He then looked at Ye Xuan, "Alliance Leader, the Xuan Alliance is in trouble."
"The Barren Holy Kingdom somehow got wind of our location and launched a large-scale attack on our headquarters, but Ancestors Duanmu Wenren and the others annihilated them all!"
What!
Upon hearing this, Yu Mengyan and the others were shocked. My goodness, Ancestors Duanmu Wenren and the others actually wiped out an entire third-rank holy kingdom! This...
Then, everyone's gazes fell upon Ye Xuan.
Luo Tianyi was also a bit stunned, clearly not expecting such a turn of events.
"The Barren Holy Kingdom has been destroyed?"
After a moment's pause, Ye Xuan had an idea. "Since that's the case, I'll go with the flow. The Xuan Alliance will announce its promotion to a third-rank holy kingdom."
"However, with the promotion to a third-rank holy kingdom, there will be many matters to attend to."
"Tianyi, you and Senior Lei Wang should return to the Xuan Alliance headquarters together."
Currently, Luo Tianyi had already reached the first level of the Sun Realm, and with her various trump cards, even someone at the third level of the Sun Realm would struggle against her. With her returning, Ye Xuan felt relieved.
Of course, Feng Lukong and the others would also depart together. With these individuals guarding the place, the Xuan Alliance would not be at a disadvantage even if the four overlord-level forces made a move.
"Alright!"
Luo Tianyi naturally understood the critical importance of the Xuan Alliance headquarters. Although she wished to stay with Ye Xuan, she also did not want to be a burden to him.
Under the protection of Feng Lukong and his entourage, they piloted a flying boat towards the Haotian Holy City.
At the same time, the Ice River Beast's clone received its main body's plan and, along with the experts from the Starry Sky Holy Land, headed towards the Barren Holy Kingdom. Their objective was clearly to prepare for the Xuan Alliance's promotion to a third-rank holy power, and their preparation was none other than to completely erase the Barren Holy Kingdom from the endless territories!
Three days later.
The Barren Holy Kingdom was annihilated, and the Xuan Alliance was thus promoted to a third-rank holy power.
It was also during this time that Ye Xuan and Ba Yue returned to the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan.
After everything was settled, a voice appeared in Ye Xuan's mind. This voice was from the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass.
"15 million-year-old Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit, and twenty drops of essence blood! This!?"
"Good heavens, the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass has already reached 15 million years old~~"
For a moment, Ye Xuan smacked his lips. It seemed that the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass had truly risked its life during this period.
"Senior Ba Yue, I think... it's time for you to undergo your lightning tribulation."
Looking into the distance of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, Ye Xuan smiled.
"Hmm?"
"The time has come, Alliance Leader? What do you mean?"
Obviously, Ba Yue was confused. He knew very well that the time was still not quite right, which was why he asked.
"Heh heh..."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, not playing coy anymore. He flipped his hand and took out a 15-million-year-old Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit. "Senior Ba Yue, after consuming this fruit, I believe the time for your lightning tribulation will arrive."
"This fruit..."
"Such potent energy, even better than the origin of the lightning tribulation!"
With Ba Yue's discerning eyes, he immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit. "Such kindness, I truly don't know how to express my gratitude."
"Heh heh, Senior, no need to be like this."
"After all, only when Senior becomes powerful can the Xuan Alliance be more stable. I am also helping myself."
Ye Xuan did not take it to heart, smiling cheerfully.
"Even so, I will remember this kindness."
Ba Yue had always been clear about debts of gratitude, and although this kindness might be difficult to repay even in several lifetimes, "Since the time is ripe, let's undergo the tribulation immediately!"
Thinking of this, Ba Yue was eager and immediately notified the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan of his impending tribulation.
"What!"
Ba Yuanyu was shocked by the ancestral elder's message. "Ancestor Ba Yue is about to undergo his lightning tribulation again!"
Dozens of breaths later, the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan erupted in excitement.
Xiao Ao and the other four looked at Ye Xuan with immense gratitude. "Master, thank you!!!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the opportune moment.
"Senior, let's begin."
Ye Xuan said with a smile, looking at the entranced Ba Yue.
"Alright."
Ba Yue let out a deep sigh. He had waited for this day for over a million years. "I wonder what degree of lightning tribulation I'll face this time."
The Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit was immediately consumed, and in the next moment, a thunderous roar echoed. A sea of energy surged through various limits. Then, above the ancestral land of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, under a cloudless sky.
Rumble~~
Thunder boomed, and boundless thunderclouds instantly gathered, filled with terrifying lightning.
Ten zhang!
Fifty zhang! One hundred zhang!!
In an instant, the thunderclouds covered an area of a hundred zhang, and then continued to spread, reaching a thousand zhang before stabilizing.
"Hiss..."
Looking at the lightning tribulation in the sky, Ba Yue gasped. "This is... a lightning tribulation spanning a thousand zhang."
"Could it be that I'm facing... a six-nine lightning tribulation this time!?"
As the majesty of the lightning tribulation condensed, it formed a vortex above Ba Yue, and the heavens and earth trembled.
Sizzle~
At a certain moment, the first bolt of lightning descended. Ba Yuanyu immediately shouted, "Everyone, activate the clan protection formation!"
"Ancestor, we will lend you our strength!!"
Ba Yuanyu soared into the sky, his fighting spirit burning as he faced the lightning tribulation. "Junior also wants to see how strong the lightning tribulation of the Divine Tribulation Realm truly is!"
Buzz~~
As Ba Yuanyu's voice fell, a grand formation suddenly appeared above the ancestral land, its dense power radiating in all directions.
"Since that's the case, I will also lend Senior a hand."
He then summoned a powerful being cultivating within the Exquisite Pagoda. "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation·Activate!"
"Sun, Moon, and Stars Formation·Activate!"
Instantly, the three formations merged into one, their power unprecedentedly strong. Ba Yuanyu watched the fusion of the three formations and gulped. "Alliance Leader is truly a divine being!!"
"Everyone, cooperate fully with the Alliance Leader in executing the formations!!"
Just like this, the first bolt of lightning descended and struck directly onto the three formations. However, this lightning bolt was clearly not very strong. It only caused the formations to ripple before it ended.
Following that, came the second bolt of lightning!
Boom~
The second bolt of lightning was significantly stronger than the first, but it was still no match for the three formations. Then came the third, the fourth...
At a certain moment!
After eight bolts of lightning, the final bolt of the nine-nine lightning tribulation was brewing for a significantly longer time.
BOOM!!!
In the sky, it was as if the God of Thunder roared, and then a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket descended from the center of the vortex, directly striking the formation controlled by Ye Xuan. Its speed was so fast that the lightning filling the sky instantly struck the three formations. At that moment, the surrounding light dimmed. Ba Yuanyu and the other experts looked at the lightning tribulation in the sky and gulped. My heavens, what a terrifying lightning tribulation! Can this formation hold?!
