Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 493: Chapter 388: Why Am I Getting Struck When You’re the One Undergoing Tribulation?

"Damn it, what on earth is going on?" Huiyue Demon Venerable felt like all the knowledge he had about cultivation had been completely shattered by this guy in front of him.

Continuous breakthroughs, though rare, are not unheard of.

Especially for cultivators below the Crystal Stage, if they have enough talent, or encounter some extraordinary opportunity, continuous breakthroughs are possible.

But the issue is, those people’s continuous breakthroughs generally occur within the same realm.

For example, a cultivator at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment suddenly breaking through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

But what about this guy?

When he first appeared, this guy was just a piece of trash at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Basically, any cultivator with some talent, no matter how poor, as long as they don’t fall due to various reasons, through diligent cultivation, can eventually reach this level.

It’s just a matter of time.

For a moment, he even thought that he was being played by these human youngsters.

In fact, it wasn’t just Huiyue Demon Venerable; even Bai Zhirui felt like she had been deceived.

Originally, she thought her master was a hidden expert with extraordinary skills.

But it turned out...

His strength was actually one small realm lower than hers.

However, before they could react, Zheng Yi gave them a huge surprise.

In front of everyone, he advanced two levels in succession.

The spiritual qi frantically converging towards Zheng Yi was visible to the naked eye, forming a vortex so intense it was like a tornado.

Even those genius cultivators would need several years to breakthrough the realms Zheng Yi surpassed in the blink of an eye, making it seem simpler than eating or drinking.

More terrifying was that after the breakthrough, he showed no sign of stopping.

The swirling spiritual qi grew even more intense.

Rumbling!

At some point, the sky had become densely covered with dark clouds.

Lightning flickered indistinctly within the dark clouds.

"Is this a Thunder Tribulation?" Huiyue Demon Venerable truly couldn’t believe it.

Could you break through a major realm with continuous breakthroughs? Had he not witnessed it himself, he would have had anyone daring to tell him so ground to dust.

Before he could recover from the shock, a bolt of tribulation thunder came crashing down from the sky.

The target was shockingly Huiyue Demon Venerable standing in front of Zheng Yi.

As a Golden Core Great Cultivator, he naturally wasn’t afraid of a Thunder Tribulation aimed at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The thunder tribulation, which appeared terrifying, landed on him without causing even a scratch.

"Damn it, aim properly next time; I’m not the one undergoing tribulation." Huiyue Demon Venerable furiously yelled at the sky.

Yet, all that answered him were several successive bolts of tribulation thunder.

These tribulation thunders seemed adamant about targeting him while ignoring Zheng Yi’s breakthrough, focusing solely on him.

"You all move back!" Zheng Yi could not spare any attention for Huiyue Demon Venerable.

Urgently urging Bai Zhirui and the others to quickly leave.

The thunder tribulation was like tickling to Huiyue Demon Venerable.

But if it hit Bai Zhirui and the others, they’d be instantly obliterated.

"Master... be careful." Bai Zhirui said with a complex expression, quickly retreating with Lin Feng, carrying Su Yao away.

The situation was too bizarre; Bai Zhirui didn’t even know what to say to her master.

After all, when Zheng Yi first appeared, his cultivation was unimpressive.

Yet, within just a few breaths, her master was about to break through to the Crystal Stage.

Moreover, it felt as if her master considered the breakthrough as a matter of course.

Could it be that her master’s original power was already high, and this was just recovering his original strength?

Bai Zhirui’s thoughts coincided with those of Huiyue Demon Venerable.

"Heh heh, I really underestimated you, Daoist. It seems that my Profound Void Claw unintentionally brought you over from another world?"

"If I’m not mistaken, your realm must be suppressed by the origin of Canglan Realm. That’s why your cultivation just now appeared so low."

This guy looked outwardly calm, but inside, he was both shocked and scared.

He really wanted to know what the true strength of this guy currently breaking through was.

If it’s just the Crystal Stage, fine, it’s tricky but ultimately inferior to him.

But what if he’s at the Golden Core?

If their cultivation was the same, perhaps there could be a fight.

But what if this guy’s cultivation was beyond the Golden Core?

Huiyue Demon Venerable talked to himself, yet Zheng Yi didn’t have the time to pay him any attention.

Surrounded by a vortex of spiritual qi, Huiyue Demon Venerable couldn’t see what Zheng Yi looked like now.

If he could see, he wouldn’t doubt Zheng Yi’s true strength.

Because at this moment, Zheng Yi’s face, distorted in pain, was nearly unrecognizable.

The massive spiritual qi was almost tearing his meridians apart.

Originally, his Five Elements Spirit Root was far from reaching its full potential.

But in the instant of his breakthrough, his Five Elements Spirit Root shot to maximum levels.

Though he didn’t know why, Zheng Yi was quite pleased.

The growth of his Five Elements Spirit Root couldn’t directly enhance his current strength but meant that any future development direction would be top-notch.

Yet in the next moment, the surging spiritual qi taught Zheng Yi what it meant by triumph turning to tragedy.
