Upon hearing this, the three elders' faces turned even more terrified. "Isn't the thunder tribulation still forming? If we leave now, can we avoid it?"
"It's useless. The Heavenly Dao has already locked onto you; it just hasn't sensed you yet!"
Boom—
Crackle—
The distant thunderclaps felt like a heavy hammer pounding on the chest
Every time they tried to gather their offensive momentum, they were interrupted by the thunder tribulation. The harder they tried, the stronger the punishment they faced.
Before they could even reach Gu Feng, they were already disheveled, staggering, and on the verge of collapse—looking as if they were half-dead!
"Hahaha! In this domain, I should be invincible!"
Gu Feng, who had reached the peak of post-natal perfection in spiritual power, physical strength, and soul, was unafraid of the thunder tribulation.
His black hair danced wildly as he strode steadily through the void, like a monarch of thunder, wielding the might of countless bolts. His disdainful gaze fell upon the three Qiu family elders as if they were mere ants!
"Die!"
The two words floated lightly from Gu Feng's lips. He grabbed a handful of thunder, molded it into a spear, and hurled it with a whoosh.
The speed was so fast it seemed like teleportation, piercing straight through one of the cultivators, leaving a gaping hole in his chest.
The crackling thunder spear pinned the cultivator in mid-air, obliterating his life force!
Boom—
Within a third of a breath, the cultivator was reduced to ashes!
The remaining two Qiu family cultivators felt their hair stand on end. The scene before them was so horrifying that their bodies trembled violently.
"Die!"
As soon as Gu Feng spoke, it was as if the law followed his words. He stirred the thunder pool with both hands, grabbing two sheets of lightning. His left hand formed a battle blade, while his right hand shaped a sharp sword. Without even bothering to aim, he flung them out.
These two thunder-forged weapons, as if guided by cruise missiles, instantly obliterated the two men, not even giving them time to scream.
Killing three elder-level cultivators across realms was as effortless and smooth as drinking water.
Gu Feng stood with divine thunder above his head and his feet on the void. The arcs of electricity coursing over his body were as fierce and terrifying as coiling dragons!
Estimating that twenty breaths were enough, Gu Feng opened his storage ring.
"Come out!"
Eight figures simultaneously appeared in the sea of thunder. The sight before them filled them with unparalleled terror.
"Focus on enduring the tribulation. You can do it. This is your last chance to survive. Just hold on for three breaths, and I can pull you back into the storage ring!"
Gu Feng's voice exploded in their ears. When they turned to look, they seemed to see a towering deity, majestic and unyielding, radiating boundless confidence and hope.
"I'll hold—"
"Argh—"
"Ah—"
The louder they screamed, the harsher the thunder struck. The three elders of the Unwavering Sect were already spitting blood and turning pale within a single breath.
Gu Feng's gaze was intense, his brows furrowed. He had underestimated the damage the thunder tribulation would inflict on them.
Silently calculating in his heart, as soon as three breaths passed, he pulled the half-dead eight back into the storage ring.
"This wave of thunder tribulation is really long!" Gu Feng pushed his defenses to the limit. The first wave of thunder tribulation no longer had any effect on him.
"The ambush by the Qiu family must be Qiu Potian's doing!"
Gu Feng muttered to himself, his gaze drifting into the distance. This mountain range seemed not far from the Qiu family.
If not for this ambush, Gu Feng would hardly have thought of annihilating the Qiu family. But now, of course, he would take a trip there with thunder in hand!
At this moment, Gu Feng was already a true innate realm cultivator, capable of flight.
Activating "Immortal By The River," he transformed into a streak of light, charging forward with a trail of thunder!
...
Boom—
The vast estate of the Qiu family was under fierce attack by the Unwavering Sect.
Large sections of buildings collapsed, and the sounds of slaughter filled the air.
It was quite ironic. While the Qiu family had dispatched five elders to ambush Gu Feng, they were simultaneously preparing for a large-scale migration.
The protective clan formation had also been dismantled in advance, allowing Lin Xinhua to seize a golden opportunity. He breached their defenses with minimal effort, paying almost no significant price!
"Lin Xinhua, has your Unwavering Sect gone mad? Attacking our Qiu family?" A middle-aged man, bearing a striking resemblance to Qiu Potian, hovered in the air, confronting Lin Xinhua.
"Your Qiu family is already preparing to flee. You must have sensed the impending doom yourselves. My Unwavering Sect is here to lend you a hand!" Lin Xinhua chuckled lightly, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty glint.
As the leader of his sect, Lin Xinhua was decisive and ruthless in battle. Once the fight began, he showed no mercy.
The two forces were already mismatched, and with the Unwavering Sect fully prepared, launching a calculated attack against an unsuspecting foe, the Qiu family faced immediate catastrophe.
"I never expected your Unwavering Sect to become Gu Feng's lapdogs!"
"Hahaha, don't put it so harshly. We are Gu Feng's partners!
Kill them all!"
The air was filled with incessant wails and the nauseating stench of blood.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed from the distance.
After launching a wave of attacks, Lin Xinhua instinctively glanced upward.
Huh?
What's going on? A vast expanse of lightning was swirling in the sky?
The scene before him momentarily bewildered this seasoned sect leader, who had seen much of the world.
"Sect Leader, retreat quickly! This is Gu Feng's heavenly tribulation!"
A familiar voice emerged from within the lightning, causing Lin Xinhua to freeze momentarily before shuddering in realization.
"Quick, quick, retreat!"
In an instant, he understood everything. Gu Feng had been forced to reveal his trump card.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure descending, Lin Xinhua called out to the elders beside him and bolted.
The heavenly tribulation resembled a vast ocean, with towering waves and flashing arcs of lightning. If caught within it, they would surely perish.
"What's going on? Didn't the Qiu family only send five elder-level cultivators to intercept Gu Feng? Why has Gu Feng been pushed to this extreme?"
In his frantic escape, Lin Xinhua couldn't comprehend the situation.
"Sect Leader Lin, surround the Qiu family but leave a path open for me to enter and annihilate them!"
Gu Feng roared. If the Unwavering Sect's disciples were allowed to scatter, countless innocent lives might be lost.
"Quick, quick, open a path for Gu Feng to pass through!"
"Qiu Potian, didn't you want to kill me? Come on!"
Gu Feng charged into the Qiu family's territory through the opened path.
His hands moved so fast they left afterimages, stirring the sea of lightning. He didn't bother to summon weapons, instead hurling the lightning like garbage.
The Qiu family's domain instantly turned into a living hell, filled with screams and curses!
Gu Feng paid no heed. With hands full of lightning, he flung it in massive waves. He was like a walking killing machine, leaving nothing alive in his wake.
This was a true demon, more terrifying than anything described in ancient texts.
The Qiu family's cultivators, scurrying like headless flies, were driven back toward Gu Feng by the surrounding Unwavering Sect disciples.
"This... this is too extreme," stammered one of the Unwavering Sect's elders, his lips trembling. The destruction caused by Gu Feng alone had surpassed that of the entire Unwavering Sect.
"Sect Leader... Sect Leader, you are truly wise!"
Some of the elders repeatedly praised Lin Xinhua for his wisdom.
It suddenly dawned on them that if they had chosen to ambush Gu Feng, the target of this heavenly tribulation might have been the Unwavering Sect instead.
"I... I never expected such a scene to unfold!" Even the usually composed Lin Xinhua was trembling slightly, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, feeling immensely relieved.
"Quick, hide inside the storage ring!"
Someone from the Qiu family discovered a way to evade the thunderbolts. Without hesitation, a group of elders immediately took refuge inside the storage ring!
Gu Feng chuckled, stepping forward with the technique of "Linjiang Immortal."
He grabbed the storage ring and squeezed it forcefully, causing seven or eight elders to appear before him.
His iron fist, crackling with lightning and sparks, landed directly on their heads, one after another, their skulls bursting open, and crimson liquid splattering everywhere!
"How foolish. I am invincible at this moment. Hiding inside the storage ring only makes it easier for me to kill you!"
