Chapter 156: Chapter 155: The Cunning Heavenly Demon

As soon as Ye Lingtian finished speaking, dark clouds rolled in the sky, accompanied by peals of thunder, making the atmosphere at the scene oppressive.

"Boom boom..."

"Crack crack..."

The Heavenly Demon in front of Ye Lingtian was shocked: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could that kid summon the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation? This must be an illusion..."

The Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation is a thunder tribulation that occurs when a cultivator crosses their tribulation. It consists of eighty-one bolts of lightning in each cycle, totaling eighty-one times. However, not every cultivator experiences the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation during their crossing.

However, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation used by Ye Lingtian to attack the Heavenly Demon could not be compared to the one that appeared when a cultivator crossed their tribulation. The one Ye Lingtian summoned came from the Thunder Tribulation Domain.

The Thunder Tribulation Domain is one of the five most powerful domains in domain attacks, and only cultivators who have reached the Divine Separation Stage can comprehend domain attacks.

Of course, different cultivators comprehend different domains, and the one Ye Lingtian comprehended was the Thunder Tribulation Domain.

As everyone knows, damage from cultivators during competitions or duels is immense, with extensive impact. The destruction from experts at the Divine Separation Stage could be even more powerful than nuclear bombs.

Ye Lingtian fought the Heavenly Demon to avoid affecting everyone, so he initially launched a domain attack.

Upon releasing a domain, a cultivator becomes the Domain Master. As the Domain Master, they are the god within that domain, and all beings with cultivation lower than the Domain Master are in their hands for life and death...

After Ye Lingtian used the Thunder Tribulation Domain, all demonic qi transformed into golden light and was absorbed into the domain. Tens of thousands of golden lights gradually dissipated under the baptism of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation...

The Heavenly Demon was dumbfounded, exclaiming: "My demon dao also has a way, yet he broke it with such ease. How is this possible?"

Facing the demon’s doubts, Ye Lingtian smiled slightly, "Heavenly Demon, although I used a domain attack, don’t forget that within the domain, I am a god. The power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation within the domain is no different from the thunder tribulation descended by the Heavenly Dao. How could your demonic qi, which is the evil qi of heaven and earth, withstand the Xuantian Zheng Qi emitted by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder?"

"Haha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed loudly, "Interesting. No wonder you could summon the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. It turns out you comprehended the legendary Thunder Tribulation Domain. This battle is a worthy loss!"

Ye Lingtian smiled indifferently, "Heavenly Demon, since you are in my Thunder Tribulation Domain, surrender now and save your strength."

"Hmph!"

The Heavenly Demon sneered, "Kid, don’t forget there’s more than one person in this world capable of domain attacks."

"Hehe!"

Ye Lingtian sneered: "Heavenly Demon, show me all you have!"

"Hahaha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed wildly, roaring, "Demon Evil Domain..."

The Heavenly Demon released his Demon Evil Domain within the Thunder Tribulation Domain, and the moment these two powerful domains intersected, a strong energy wave burst out.

Seeing this, Chuyunzi urgently shouted, "Everyone, quickly raise your Spiritual Energy Protection Shield to resist..."

"Bang... bang bang..."

However, this had no effect. Where the energy wave passed, the protection shields of all cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage were shattered.

"Ugh ugh..."

"Spurt spurt spurt..."

"Spurt..."

A million spectators at the scene suffered various degrees of internal injuries as the Spiritual Energy Protection Shield broke.

Seeing this, Chuyunzi shouted again, "Everyone, temporarily retreat into my Dragon Abyss Sect for shelter..."

Chuyunzi opened a gap in the Dragon Abyss Sect’s Mountain Protection Array and led everyone into the Dragon Abyss Sect.

The Dragon Abyss Sect’s Mountain Protection Array was the Celestial Stars Array. When Yan Rufeng, at the Nascent Soul Stage, arranged the array, it was already unbreakable for anyone below the Divine Separation Stage.

Imagine, who in the mortal world could break the Mountain Protection Array set up anew by Yan Rufeng at the Divine Separation Middle Stage?

The energy waves from the duel between the Heavenly Demon and Ye Lingtian spread to the Mountain Protection Array of the Dragon Abyss Sect and were instantly dispersed.

Those protected by the Mountain Protection Array breathed a sigh of relief. Due to the high number of injured, Chuyunzi had to call for Li Xiaofei to help distribute Healing Pills...

The battle between Ye Lingtian and the Heavenly Demon continued. Within the two domains, purple mysterious thunder struck at demonic qi. The demonic qi enveloped the lightning, and neither could eliminate the other.

From a distance, at the intersection of the two domains in the sky, purple lightning and black demonic qi intertwined, looking like a purple-black mushroom cloud. The scene was indescribably eerie yet grand.

The consumption of spiritual energy by a cultivator during domain attacks was immense. After a quarter-hour, Ye Lingtian clearly felt his spiritual energy depleting and couldn’t help but worry, "This Heavenly Demon is indeed challenging to deal with. If I can’t defeat him after so long, who knows how much more demonic qi he has inside..."

In a duel between cultivators, if one runs out of spiritual energy, no matter how high their cultivation is, the end would be a slaughter.

"Haha..."

Within the domain space, the Heavenly Demon laughed loudly: "Kid, is your spiritual energy almost exhausted?"

"Hehe!"

Ye Lingtian sneered: "Heavenly Demon, you guessed it right."

"Hahaha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed mockingly, "Kid, I advise you not to waste your energy. Surrender."

"Hmph!"

Ye Lingtian sneered, "Heavenly Demon, do you think you’ve won?"

The Heavenly Demon questioned: "Kid, without spiritual energy, can a cultivator continue to fight?"

Ye Lingtian’s mouth curled up into a smile, "Haven’t you heard of something called Spirit Stones?"

"What?"

The Heavenly Demon exclaimed, "How could there still be Spirit Stones in this world?"

Ye Lingtian laughed, "Heavenly Demon, I didn’t expect you to be so foolish. How have you survived these years in Southern Yue?"

In Southern Yue, the Heavenly Demon sensed the presence of spiritual energy but had never discovered Spirit Stones. It was understandable why he didn’t know about their existence.

As for why there were no Spirit Stone Veins in Southern Yue, it was because Yan Rufeng had destroyed their largest Spirit Vein during a cultivation retreat, leading to the shrinkage of other smaller veins. Even after changes in the world, no Spirit Stone Veins were produced...

"Haha..."

Ye Lingtian took out a top-grade spirit stone from his storage ring and laughed, "Heavenly Demon, if I absorb all the spiritual energy in this top-grade spirit stone, do you still think I will lose?"

The Heavenly Demon was suddenly shocked, thinking, "This kid really has Spirit Stones! This is bad. I don’t have any Demon Essence Stones with me. What should I do..."

Demon Essence Stones, which store demonic qi, are similar to the Spirit Stones used by cultivators.

Ye Lingtian channeled his cultivation technique to absorb the spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone. In an instant, the stone in Ye Lingtian’s hand turned into powder, scattering with the wind into the world...
