This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1652 - 19: 7th Tribulation Realm (Part 3)

However, Lu Qingshan was also feeling uncomfortable.

He had stirred up trouble, deliberately provoking a high-ranking Demon Lord undergoing tribulation, and thus he too had to endure the impact of this high-ranking Demon Lord's heavenly tribulation.

The continuous heavenly tribulations struck down, making him sway like a lotus leaf in the wind.

Yet Lu Qingshan, while struggling against the heavenly tribulation, kept moving around, carrying the vast tribulation with him, causing havoc wherever he went.

In this way, he entrapped nearly ten Demon Lords, all of whom were undergoing their tribulations and had no strength left to resist the seven-by-nine tribulations he brought forth.

Truth be told, faced head-on with these ten Demon Lords, he could defeat them, but not in a place like the Buddha King City.

Because although his combat power was strong, his strength was ultimately limited, and he was but mortal flesh and bones, facing so many enemies would inevitably lead to exhaustion and oversight.

Killing enemies in the Buddha King City, even top Demon Lords would not dare to do so, as they would be surrounded and besieged.

But heavenly tribulations were different; their power came from the heavens, endless, like countless heavenly soldiers and generals descending unceasingly.

Utilizing the might of the heavenly tribulation, Lu Qingshan managed to accomplish something that even top Demon Lords might not be able to do.

It could be said that the heavenly tribulation was truly exploited to the utmost by Lu Qingshan.

"You will not die well; either you die under the heavenly tribulation, or you get settled after the tribulation!" another mid-level Demon Lord marked by Lu Qingshan said in despair just before being killed by the heavenly tribulation.

At this moment, the mighty heavenly tribulation had calmed down significantly compared to the beginning.

Because essentially all the demonic cultivators caught in the tribulation had completed their own heavenly tribulations — either dying in it or successfully crossing it.

Only Lu Qingshan's tribulation hadn't ended and had entered the most terrifying stage.

He had no choice but to stop and do his utmost to combat it. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Successive eighteen strikes of tribulation thunder descended from the sky.

These thunders were no longer deep purple, but four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue, representing the four types of heavenly punishments related to earth, wind, water, and fire. The lightning raged through the Nine Heavens, with a power far surpassing ordinary tribulation thunders, submerging Lu Qingshan's figure in a relentless strike.

From a distance, the void where Lu Qingshan stood was boiling, extremely horrifying.

"Strike him dead!" the Demon Lords who had survived their tribulations were unable to just watch as they had to contend with the aftermath of Lu Qingshan's tribulation. They cursed angrily, full of fury.

Lu Qingshan was fully focused, having retrieved his sword, confronting the heavenly tribulation with a lightning-affiliated Taoist sword.

He fought tirelessly, yet his body bled, pressed by the thunder tribulation to the point where his bones creaked as if about to shatter, illustrating just how tremendous the pressure was.

After all, even at his peak, facing the six-by-nine tribulation had consumed him greatly.

Now, in such poor condition, the intensity of the seven-by-nine tribulation far surpassed the six-by-nine tribulation, making it immensely difficult even for Lu Qingshan.

Pfft!

Lu Qingshan spat blood, staining his garments red, his entire body in ruins, and his mana, already near depletion, was rapidly draining, almost reaching its bottom.

But his eyes remained profound and radiant, standing in the void, extraordinarily calm and composed.

"Without using some trump cards, I will die under the thunder tribulation today."

Lu Qingshan understood in his heart.

"Power of the Mountains and Seas..."

Without any mental burden, he cast the forbidden Taoist spell at the once most prosperous place in the Black Armor Domain.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, the cracking of the earth seemed insignificant, yet the power of the mountains and seas it brought was still vast and majestic.

A vast ocean-like power surged in Lu Qingshan's already dried-up Dantian and meridians.

Lu Qingshan rose up, facing the last wave of tribulation thunder.

Sixty-three strikes of Four Symbols Heavenly Thunder descended, causing the Demon Lords to change color, signifying the immense terror.

Bang!

Even Oblivion was struck flying, although undamaged.

Peach Blossom was not as resilient, showing damage, with slight cracks appearing, causing Lu Qingshan to spit blood once more.

Nonetheless, Lu Qingshan was not worried, because Peach Blossom's Immortal Divine Ability granted it self-healing capabilities, though not indestructible like Oblivion, it was akin to having insurance.

Lu Qingshan held his sword, striving against the heavenly tribulation.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each strike of heavenly thunder, Heaven and Earth would tremble, and the massive Royal City already had no intact buildings left, all destroyed.

At least by now, the Buddha King City had turned into nothingness as Lu Qingshan wished.

Eventually, Lu Qingshan endured despite his bones being fractured in multiple places, blood spilled countless times, his face extremely pale.

All sixty-three of the terrifying Four Symbols Heavenly Thunder struck down, marking the end of the Seven-by-Nine tribulation.

The terrifying scene dissipated.

Dragging his battered body, Lu Qingshan appeared above the Buddha King City, in full view of the demonic cultivators.

He had crossed the heavenly tribulation, survived, but was utterly exhausted.

The surviving demonic cultivators were furious, a group of Demon Lords surrounding him, each looking extremely disheveled but each oozing killing intent.

They had finally endured it, ready to kill Lu Qingshan.

However, they found that Lu Qingshan's gaze was more disdainful than before.

This left these vengeful Demon Lords both furious and somewhat apprehensive.

What kind of look was that?

It seemed devoid of any tension or worry, instead filled with confidence and assurance of victory?

Where was this confidence coming from?

The next moment, the demonic cultivators' confusion was answered.

As the clouds dissipated and the rain ceased, the heavenly tribulation scattered.

The gifts of Heaven and Earth arrived as well.

Strands of pure power of Heaven and Earth flowed from the void and poured into Lu Qingshan's body.

This power of Heaven and Earth was so rich that ordinary cultivators would require time to absorb it.

But as soon as Lu Qingshan's Great Xia Scripture circulated, the power of Heaven and Earth was swiftly refined.

The strength of his Perfect Dao Foundation was fully displayed, possessing an unparalleled speed of absorbing and converting mana.

"After successfully crossing a tribulation, a cultivator will undergo a transformation!" the Demon Lords finally recalled this fact, speaking with difficulty.

...

Indeed, under the infusion of the power of Heaven and Earth, at this moment, Lu Qingshan's mana surged, vitality flowed, his injuries recovering, everything was reviving.

Alongside revival, there was transformation, and strengthening.

Like a withered plant receiving the nourishment of spring water, immediately flourishing.

Within his body, the vigorous mana surged like a river, the power lofty and majestic, the strongest life essence being invigorated, surging.

On his body, wounds were healing, previously broken bones were nourished, reconnecting.

Rumbling.

A powerful surge emanated from Lu Qingshan's body, then swept around like a hurricane, causing the clouds to churn!

The Purple Gold Lotus Mark on his brow manifested, becoming increasingly brilliant, divine radiance dazzling.

More dazzling than the divine radiance was the cascade of glowing tiny characters washing down in his vision like a waterfall.

"You have successfully crossed the Seven-by-Nine tribulation!"

"Your cultivation has increased: Sixth Tribulation Realm advanced to Seventh Tribulation Realm!"

"You have entered the Limit-Breaking Realm, Element Force greatly increased, Element Force cap increased by 600,000!"

"Your Primordial Spirit has been enhanced, Divine Sense +1000!"

"Issuing the Eight Tribulation Realm advancement task..."
