Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 176: Unprecedented, and Never Again

The Sect Masters stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.

Red Lightning was brewing even more ferocious power. The entire sky was intertwined into a sea of Red Lightning, as if the end of the world was coming. It was more like an ancient god was angry, and the cultivators below were trembling.

Gu Xi was still charging into the crowd. The Red Lightning did not aim for the crowd. However, it was chasing hard after Gu Xi, and all these people would be buried along with him.

Although it was quite angry at Gu Xi, the Red Lightning still retained its rationality. However, it was so angry that it wanted to crush the ant that provoked it. This Gu Xi only had such strength, but he dared to provoke the god’s might?

The lightning fell like raindrops, and there was another crackling sound. However, Gu Xi was not afraid. The lightning punishment could not last forever. After a period of time, it would dissipate. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Gu Xi’s gaze fell on the crowd. They were like sheep that had been targeted by wolves. They retreated together, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

As expected, in the next second, Gu Xi charged forward with the lightning.

After an unknown period of time, the Red Lightning’s power gradually diminished. It was far less powerful than before, which meant that the Lightning Tribulation was about to pass.

The Red Lightning entrenched itself in the sky, clearly becoming extremely unwilling. It wished it could strike for another day and night. Unfortunately, the rules were so strong that even an existence like it could not change them.

The Lightning Tribulation only had a certain amount of time. If a cultivator successfully withstood it, it would be considered a successful tribulation. Otherwise, it would be considered a failure.

However, since ancient times, which cultivator had not been prepared for the tribulation? All sorts of defensive formations and magic treasures had been used to equip themselves. There had never been anyone like Gu Xi.

Gu Xi had toyed around with the Heavenly Lightning like he was mad. He had even used the Lightning Tribulation to achieve his goal. It could be said that it was unprecedented.

The sky became bright again, forming a strong contrast with the previous darkness. When the lightning dissipated, apart from the burning smell in the air, there was also the mess on the ground. It was as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

However, the various sects that were previously in high spirits were now covered in dust. Their clothes were either burnt or their hair was standing on end. They stared fiercely at Gu Xi.

If looks could kill at this moment, Gu Xi would have died thousands of times.

What made them so angry was that after the Lightning Tribulation, spiritual energy came from Heaven and Earth, all of it gathered toward Gu Xi, and a powerful life force enveloped this space.

The aura on Gu Xi’s body also continued to rise, as if he was riding a rocket. King, Half-step Quasi-sage, Quasi-sage...

Only then did he stop.

An endless stream of spiritual energy nourished Gu Xi’s body, and now everyone could feel the intense changes in his body.

Everyone was dumbstruck. Advancing three or four steps in a row was unheard of. Even in the entire Capital, the most outstanding genius had only advanced two steps in a row.

One had to know that there was still a huge divide in Gu Xi. One had to know that advancing from a King stage to a Quasi-saint stage was not that easy.

“Is this kid still human? He actually has such monstrous talent.”

Someone spoke fanatically, “It must be the effect of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. He became the master of the Secret Realm. All the Heavenly Treasures and all sorts of treasures inside are in his possession.”

“Right, this must be the contribution of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. It must be the supreme treasures inside that made him become like this.”

For a moment, everyone’s gaze became envious. If they owned the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, would it be the same?

The expressions of the few Sect Masters were not good. The array formation that they had meticulously set up had long been reduced to ashes under the Lightning Tribulation. Even the elite disciples that came along were also heavily injured.

The inescapable net from before seemed to have become a joke. It hit them hard in the face, and the faces of the various sects were almost ruined.

“What vicious thoughts you have! You actually used the Lightning Tribulation to deal with us!”

Gu Xi seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. “So many of you have come to capture me, and I’m not even allowed to fight back? Did you really think that I can be captured without putting up a fight?”

Although the people they had brought with them had suffered heavy losses, the Sect Masters were not so easy to deal with. Other than a few minor injuries, the rest were fine.

However, these people were the disciples that the sect had carefully nurtured. They were even the pillars of the sect. Now, because of Gu Xi’s sudden actions, they had been accidentally injured by the Lightning Tribulation. Who knew how long it would take them to recover? As a result, the standard of the entire sect had dropped by quite a bit.

The person from the Ethereal Illusion Mansion sneered and said, “If you are sensible, then hand over the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. We can even consider whether or not to let you off.”

“What if I say no?”

The Sect Masters looked at him as if he was dead. They said coldly and mercilessly, “Then today, we will carry out justice on behalf of the Heavens. Your cultivation has grown so fast. You must have used some underhanded means.”

“I heard that there were disciples who died in the Secret Realm without any reason. Those disciples died miserably. We can just tell everyone that it happened to you too.”

They had wanted Gu Xi to hand it over himself so that they would not have to spend more energy. However, now, it seemed that Gu Xi was not willing to cooperate. If he died, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm would naturally become ownerless.

As for how to use it, they would just have to do some research.

Hearing their words, Gu Xi felt that it was extremely laughable. “If you want to add to the blame, why don’t you just say so? If you want to snatch the Secret Realm, just say so. You even pretended to be sanctimonious and poured dirty water on me.”

“Whether it’s us who poured dirty water on you or you who are not righteous, we will know in a while!”

The two sides were facing each other. However, Gu Xi was alone.

The atmosphere became tenser and tenser as he faced the hundreds and thousands of people in front of him.

At this moment, there was still a group of people lurking on the other side.
