The sky that was originally clear without any clouds had suddenly turned dark and cold.
The dark clouds that gathered were exceedingly dense and purple lightning crossed them from time to time.
Anyone who saw this sight would feel their hearts turn cold in fright and immediately leave the area but two people stayed calmly in this vicinity. One of them even sat in the space beneath the dark clouds.
Without warning, a purple bolt of lightning struck Lu Zheng.
The man gritted his teeth in pain as he silently endured.
He cultivated his soul with the Sea of Nirvana, going through unimaginable pain each time. Compared to that, this was nothing. One could say that his willpower had been tempered with his soul.
Heaven rumbled loudly as more bolts of purple lightning struck Lu Zheng. Zuo Xiuzhen counted silently.
Two, eight, fourteen, thirty…
By the time the count exceeded sixty, Zuo Xiuzhen frowned slightly: "Normal martial practitioners would receive sixty strikes of purple lightning when breaking through to the Acquisition realm but Lu Zheng cultivates many paths. This tribulation is far from over"
The lightning bolts continued to strike Lu Zheng as his body quivered involuntarily. The azure thunderbolt rune in his Vermillion Blood shone brightly as the purple lightning struck him.
After a hundred strikes of purple lightning, Lu Zheng still didn't let out even the slightest groan. Zuo Xiuzhen was surprised.
"Lu Zheng is quite strong willed"
However, even after the hundred and eightieth bolt of lightning, the purple lightning tribulation did not slow down. It was only after the two hundred and eighty fourth bolt of lightning that the lightning bolts began to reduce.
Lu Zheng bore them all silently.
The three hundredth lightning bolt struck Lu Zheng with terrifying accuracy and his aura began to rise sharply. The ambient Qi around Lu Zheng flowed into his meridians and his new Qi fruit continued to grow.
At the same time, the heavens rumbled in anger seeing that it failed to kill Lu Zheng. At once, strong purple lightning gathered in the sky before transforming into a beast.
The beast had four legs and its entire body was white. Beautiful purple lightning wrapped around it gently and its two tails swung carefreely. An imposing aura surged from it that destroyed any battle intent mustered against it.
It was a rank seven Heavenly Lightning Fox!
Lu Zheng sensed the heavenly lightning fox but was not worried. His soul consciousness split into two. One controlled his aperture and the other controlled his body.
"Come!"
The rank seven heavenly lightning fox was imposing and it displayed lightning paths true abilities. In an instant, it was before Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng snickered as a small Vermillion Bird the size of a fist flew at the heavenly lightning fox.
The heavenly lightning fox sneered. With a bite, it devoured the Vermillion Bird whole.
Seeing that the obstruction had been dealt with, the heavenly lightning fox turned its attention to Lu Zheng but suddenly, its white face discoloured in pain.
The heavenly lightning fox whimpered in pain. Its entire body turned crimson and faint wisps of fire Qi burst out of its orifices.
Without warning, a soundless explosion blew the heavenly lightning fox to death. The death of the heavenly lightning fox increased the ambient Qi around Lu Zheng and soon, it was absorbed into his meridians.
Lu Zheng suddenly felt a wave of lightning path profound meaning. He saw himself as a heavenly lightning fox, soaring through primordial white heaven. He grew from a young cub into a ferocious beast and later died. The lightning path profound meaning was very complex.
Lu Zheng focused his senses on comprehending the lightning path profound meaning.
Zuo Xiuzhen was stunned by how easily Lu Zheng killed the heavenly lightning fox. She knew that it was exceedingly difficult for martial practitioners to fight after a tribulation.
Yet, Lu Zheng spared no excess efforts in killing the beast. This only showed a fragment of his true strength.
Just as Zuo Xiuzhen was stunned by Lu Zheng's strength, a purple rune formed on Lu Zheng's neck.
The purple rune was complex but when Zuo Xiuzhen gazed at it, two words escaped from her lips: "Immortal Star"
The purple rune shone brilliantly that Zuo Xiuzhen could not see at all. After a few breaths of time, the purple light dissipated to reveal a man.
This man had yellow skin and short black hair. A masculine aura radiated from him that Zuo Xiuzhen's face turned red when she gazed at him. It was also because he was completely nude.
Zuo Xiuzhen covered her eyes with her hands but still peeped through the gaps of her fingers. A moist feeling rose from her lower half and her face turned even redder.
The yellow skinned man looked at his hands in surprise as he muttered: "I, Idowu Samuel, have revived again!"
