216: sneak attack

Elder Mu, watching Ji Mo's actions from afar, couldn't help but mutter, "This kid is truly a pervert!"

Sun Emperor and Ice Emperor were also watching from a distance, stunned by Ji Mo's Lightning Tribulation.

"As expected of the one favored by the God Realm, after this Lightning Tribulation ends, he might be able to contend with me."

Sun Emperor spoke these words with genuine emotion; Ji Mo's progress was too rapid to believe.

"At first, I didn't quite believe he had backing from the God Realm, but now I truly believe it's real. Even before Undergoing Tribulation, this kid could run rampant among the Saint Rank. Those who aren't Half-Emperors or who haven't been immersed in the Peak of the Sixth Layer for a long time are simply no match for him."

"This great tribulation is strange; I can't quite understand it. It somewhat resembles the legendary Body Cultivator's Great Tribulation. I never expected it to be so terrifying; even a newly promoted Imperial Tribulation probably couldn't withstand it."

"Then, after he finishes Undergoing Tribulation, he might truly be able to contend with you! With such Genius, it's no wonder the God Realm values him."

After her analysis, Ice Emperor sighed deeply... Above the sky, the Sea of Lightning was still brewing, and Ji Mo didn't stop either. Large amounts of Heaven And Earth Treasure were devoured by him to nourish his Life Qi.

He had a feeling he couldn't take this final blow. This Saint Body Great Tribulation couldn't be overcome using external objects. Defense Sacred Artifacts, Formations, even the defense of the heaven and earth creation bell were useless, as the destructive power went directly into the Physical Body.

Therefore, Ji Mo only integrated the heaven and earth furnace into every Acupoint, fully boosting his Physical Body's resistance, which allowed him to endure the lightning strikes again and again.

Now, every cell in his body stored Life Qi plundered from the Tribulation Lightning.

As long as he could keep a single cell alive under this final blow, that Life Qi would directly regenerate his main body.

If he took this final blow, he would achieve Rebirth through destruction and attain the Supreme Saint Body.

At this moment, the tribulation cloud above the Firmament continuously rolled and changed form. When all the lightning was completely absorbed, the tribulation cloud actually brewed a gigantic Divine Eye.

It resembled the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, though of course, this was only in appearance. Terrifying bolts of lightning continuously flashed and underwent Fusion right in the center of the eyeball.

A power capable of destroying a planet was brewing.

At this time, the three members of the Lu Family, along with most of the others, had rushed to this location to watch the strike. When they saw that the person Undergoing Tribulation was Ji Mo, their eyes were filled with shock.

Following that, their eyes were filled with killing intent. It was only because they dared not interfere randomly during the Undergoing Tribulation period, otherwise, they would have long since taken advantage of the Chaos; how could they let Ji Mo undergo his tribulation peacefully?

They continuously prayed in their hearts that Ji Mo would be struck dead by the tribulation lightning, saving them trouble.

"Buzz!"

The Eye of the tribulation cloud directly fired a thick beam of Lightning, resembling a particle beam. Ji Mo was locked onto and had no way to dodge; he could only take it head-on.

This happened in an instant. With a flash of light, Ji Mo's figure vanished directly, leaving only a deep pit that penetrated the entire planet.

If this planet had not been completely refined and covered in Runes by Sword Emperor Anlan, this strike could have instantly shattered the entire planet.

Everyone was stunned by this strike, unable to recover their senses for a long time.

Only Elder Mu, who cared about Ji Mo the most, instantly turned pale, muttering to himself with trembling lips, "Lad Ji Mo... didn't... didn't you promise to find... a Godhead for me... how could you just..."

Although Yan Qingcheng had known Ji Mo for a short time, this man had protected her countless times and saved her life; she had long since given him her heart.

At this moment, she was heartbroken and screamed out, "Young Master..."

His Majesty the Emperor was also grief-stricken, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Ji Mo... your backing is so strong... how could this... how could this happen!..."

The rest of the people, those who disliked Ji Mo but dared not cause trouble for him, were applauding and praising.

Some felt that Heaven envied the Genius, finding it both tragic and lamentable!

Ice Emperor also sighed, "Heaven is truly heartless. Such a figure fell here before he could fully mature. Life is truly unpredictable!"

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, a wave of maniacal laughter spread throughout this part of the heaven and earth.

"This arrogant kid actually died under the tribulation lightning! Before our Lu Family could personally kill him, it counts as this kid's luck. Dying so cleanly spared him from suffering cruel torture."

"Exactly, this is his good fortune. Otherwise, if my two brothers and I caught him, we would surely torture this kid for ten million years, letting this Plane know that our Lu Family is not to be provoked."

"I, this Elder, thought Ji Mo was some unprovokable figure with backing from the God Realm. In the end, this is it? He couldn't even pass a small Lightning Tribulation."

The three people's faces were full of disdain, mockery, and a hint of lingering fear—they truly had been terrified by Ji Mo's level of Prodigy.

Elder Mu stared at the three with eyes full of killing intent. Yan Qingcheng also forgot that she was only of the Saint Rank at the moment, glaring furiously at the trio.

"Look at the tribulation cloud! Why hasn't it dispersed yet?" Just then, someone suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted.

This exclamation startled everyone awake, and they instinctively focused their gaze on the tribulation cloud.

This shout also brought Elder Mu and the others back to their senses, and they looked with hopeful expressions toward the direction where Ji Mo had vanished.

"That was truly terrifying. If not for the characteristics of the heaven and earth furnace, I would have been gone." Ji Mo's Soul was attached to the few surviving cells; this operation was only possible under these specific circumstances.

Outside, being reduced to mere cells would mean instant death. This was a case of being defeated by the Lightning Tribulation, yet also achieving success by the Lightning Tribulation, relying entirely on the support of the Lightning Tribulation's Life Qi.

Outsiders only saw light flashing in the Lightning Tribulation Location, and a blurry figure continuously regenerating. Until all the light dissipated and the Life Qi was exhausted, Ji Mo reappeared before the eyes of the world.

Seeing Ji Mo reappear, Elder Mu and the others had tears in their eyes.

However, some people had ugly expressions, as if they had eaten a pile of feces.

When Ji Mo emerged, he had already achieved the Saint Body, and his strength directly reached twenty thousand Dragons. This wasn't over yet; the Heavenly Tribulation hadn't ended, and he hadn't yet received the Heaven and Earth Blessing.

The tribulation cloud continuously rolled, attempting to detect the aura of the person Undergoing Tribulation, but it detected that Ji Mo had already achieved the Saint Body.

The tribulation cloud immediately calmed down. No more striking!

The mysterious Chaos Essence Qi was continuously drawn in, beginning to brew the post-tribulation Heaven and Earth Blessing.

"Pfft!"

A sky-shattering Saber Light suddenly appeared, tearing through space, like the Saber God himself had descended, striking from across the void. This blow was intended to kill Ji Mo on the spot.

This strike came from none other than Lu Hong; it was a powerful Imperial Rank blow. The Saber Light contained infinite Profound Truths, and its might was terrifying.

The timing of this strike was perfect, right at the beginning of Ji Mo's recovery when the Heavenly Tribulation had dissipated. Any earlier, and it might have been targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation.

This was a Heaven Rank Saber Technique, arriving extremely suddenly and fiercely, leaving everyone unable to react.
