Chapter 15: Mysterious Heavenly Tribulation Lightning

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The elders of the four sects did not hesitate and attacked in unison.

Jiang Cheng naturally could not block the attacks of 18 soul division realm elders and was instantly killed.

Since the other party had died too quickly, the elders were a little dumbfounded.

Was this not too easy?

Did this kid not say that he was the sect master?

They thought that he possessed some hidden tricks but, in the end, this was all he amounted to?

Was that it?

“Looks like he was just a fool!”

“What a waste of my time.”

The people on the distant mountainside all were all stunned, their mouths agape. They were momentarily rendered speechless.

He had really died!

“No…”

Ji Linghan, who was hugging Little Huang, nearly fainted.

She could not believe her eyes. Senior was supposed to be very powerful, no? Was he not at least a cultivator of the heavenly fate realm?

“Hmph, it looks like martial niece Ji misjudged him!”

When elder Liang saw that Jiang Cheng had been killed, he felt greatly relieved.

“How can such a person be fit to become our sect master?”

“Let’s go, there’s nothing else to see. It’s more practical to focus on the plan to seek aid from the Duanmu family.”

At this moment, no one could refute his words.

Meanwhile, in the square of the main hall, Jiang Cheng, who had already entered the soul state, remained calm.

The system’s pleasant voice rang out.

“The host has been killed. The system is analyzing the strength of the host’s enemies and is arranging a resurrection plan for the host…”

“Due to the enemy’s strength being many times higher than the host’s, the system will prepare bolts of first-level mysterious heavenly tribulation lightning for the host. Once the lightning tribulation is unleashed, everything under Heaven’s will will be reduced to ashes!”

This mysterious heavenly tribulation lightning was something that only Dao palace realm cultivators would experience when they broke through to the saint realm.

First-level mysterious heavenly tribulation lightning could only be considered an appetizer, and its power was rather limited. Disregarding Dao palace realm cultivators, even heavenly fate realm cultivators would have a chance of blocking it if they risked their lives.

However, things would become extremely dangerous if fourth or fifth-level heavenly tribulation lightning bolts were unleashed.

Once it reached the eighth and ninth levels, it would already be powerful enough to destroy Heaven and Earth. There were many peak Dao palace realm cultivators who had unfortunately died in this way, and their Daos vanished.

With that being said, the strongest cultivator among this group of people was only at the seventh level of the soul division realm.

To them, first-level bolts of heavenly tribulation lightning were akin to a natural disaster.

“Ding! The host has been resurrected.”

Jiang Cheng flew up into the sky as soon as he woke up.

Although the heavenly tribulation lightning did not require him to circulate his spiritual qi to activate it, how could he miss this rare opportunity to show off?

Moreover, he also understood that if he wanted to subdue the hearts of the Flying Immortal sect’s disciples, he needed to display a level of strength that was sufficient to shock everyone’s hearts.

Only then would they be willing to acknowledge him as the sect master.

“Sect master… sect master is still alive!”

Ji Linghan, who was standing in the distance, was surprised and overjoyed. She was even happier than when she had achieved her own breakthrough.

“Haha, so senior was just acting out a joke on purpose?”

“Haa… senior almost scared me to death!”

Luo Yuan and the others were relieved, and their dazed expressions were replaced with looks of anticipation.

“Hmph, so what if he’s not dead?”

Elder Liang was disappointed and began to pour cold water on the situation.

“With his tiny bit of strength, he’s like an ant trying to shake a tree.”

Over on the square, the people from the four sects had been about to leave.

However, when they saw Jiang Cheng flying back into the sky, they almost thought that they had seen a ghost.

“You… why aren’t you dead yet?”

“Stop trying to play silly tricks. Regardless, if he’s not dead, then let’s just kill him again!”

Just as they were about to attack again, the sky above Jiang Cheng was illuminated by fiery red lightning bolts.

His entire body was covered with a layer of light because of this phenomenon.

At first glance, this seemed to have been caused by some kind of cultivation technique of Jiang Cheng’s.

“Gaze upon my Great Heavenly Lightning technique!”

He raised his right hand high and slowly swung his longsword down, pretending that this heavenly tribulation lightning was his divine ability.

“What is that?”

“What is he trying to do?”

The people below had not run away yet.

Even a yuan gathering realm cultivator would be able to block normal lightning so, in their eyes, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, lightning-type cultivation techniques were not rare.

However, moments later, they could no longer make a sound.

Boom!

As the longsword swung down, hundreds of fiery-red lightning bolts suddenly came crashing down.

It was almost as if those lightning bolts had eyes, as each lightning bolt accurately hit a disciple or elder of the four sects.

Whether they were in the square, in the main hall, or somewhere else, the mysterious heavenly tribulation lightning was so fast that this group of people did not even have time to scream or attempt to block it.

The heavenly tribulation lightning bolts were completely different from ordinary lightning bolts. They directly targeted a cultivator’s dantian and sea of consciousness, and its power was more than ten million times greater than that of ordinary lightning bolts!

Within just a split second, there were nearly 100 holes that emitted smoke in the sect grounds.

The disciples of the four sects, who had initially held the advantage in terms of strength, had all been turned into ashes.

Damn, the system was too powerful!

Jiang Cheng was also shocked.

He had never seen the power of the heavenly tribulation lightning before. He only knew that he would definitely emerge victorious after he was resurrected, but he had not expected it to have been so easy.

All of them were wiped out in one go, and not a single one was left!

Its power was too overbearing!

Luo Yuan and the others, who were watching from a distance, were utterly dumbfounded.

Their first reaction was not that of joy, but shock.

There had been 18 soul division realm cultivators present!

In the past, did the Flying Immortal sect not only have about 30 soul division realm elders?

All of them had been wiped out in one hit?

What kind of strength was this?

Even if one was at the spiritual altar realm, and could defeat many soul division realm cultivators, they would not be able to wipe out so many of them in one hit, right?

Could it be that he was really a heavenly fate realm powerhouse like senior sister Ji had said?

The heavenly tribulation lightning was something people at their cultivation levels were completely unfamiliar with, so they could only come to the conclusion that it had been some kind of divine ability used by Jiang Cheng.

Recalling how senior Jiang had flown high up in the sky just now, using his sword to draw forth lightning and blot out the sky and cover the earth, causing the wind and clouds to change color…

With a wave of his hand, all his enemies were annihilated. How awe-inspiring was that?

At that moment, all the disciples simultaneously revealed looks of admiration.

Jiang Cheng’s goal had been achieved.

With a single move, he had established an unshakable lofty position within the hearts of these disciples.

“Sect master!”

Ji Linghan was the first to fly over to him.

She was the person who had the most confidence in Jiang Cheng, so she could easily accept his fantastical achievements.

In any case, any criticism of the sect master had now been rendered invalid. As for how strong he actually was, she could not care less.

Seeing that everyone had landed in the square of the main hall, Jiang Cheng slowly floated down from the sky.

Before landing on the ground, he arrogantly made a cutthroat gesture with his hand.

So handsome!

Instantly, stars appeared in the eyes of several female disciples.

He was powerful, and he had a young and handsome face. Compared to those bearded old monsters from other sects, he was on a whole other level.

At this moment, they felt that he was the best sect master in the world.

“Sect master, how… How did you do it?”

“Yes, sect master, your strength is simply earth-shattering!”

Luo Yuan, Yin Xue’er and the others subconsciously changed the way they addressed him. At this moment, they had officially recognized Jiang Cheng as the sect master.

Jiang Cheng was about to say that his strength was far beyond what they could imagine, and continue to extol himself, but the system’s notification suddenly rang out.

“Ding, the host has received 21 new subordinates. The system has analyzed their innate talents and strengths. The host has been rewarded with 355 points.”

“Please keep up the good work, host.”

Aha, there were points for this too?

Jiang Cheng was delighted. If that was the case, then the Flying Immortal sect would have to recruit more disciples in the future; especially those with outstanding innate talent!

The system seemed to place great importance on innate talent and innate strength. Ji Linghan alone had contributed 3000 points, while the other 21 people added together only contributed 355 points.

It seemed that Ji Linghan’s innate talent was far superior to the others.

At this time, elder Liang also arrived.
