This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

After the first heavenly thunderbolt, the second heavenly thunderbolt followed without even a moment's respite.

Heavenly tribulations have never been merciful.

Their existence is to sever the path of the cultivator.

The heavenly thunderbolt struck down from the sky.

A deafening roar sounded.

Like raindrops falling on a lotus leaf.

The heavenly thunderbolt, clearly falling directly, met resistance above the form of the Taibai Sword Master, dispersing into countless fine threads of lightning, flowing to the surroundings, and finally blown away by a gentle breeze.

The domain surrounding the Taibai Sword Master became a small inch of land within the Purple Thunder Sea, remaining utterly still regardless of how the world wind and thunder raged, maintaining its own tranquility.

Boom!

Another scorching bolt of lightning descended, shaking the heavens and earth, thousands of feet of brilliant purple light flashed with countless electric traces.

Yet no matter how violently it surged, the heavenly thunder could not penetrate within ten feet of the Taibai Sword Master.

The people held their breath, quietly observing.

The fourth bolt.

The fifth bolt.

The sixth bolt.

The seventh bolt.

Four more heavenly thunderbolts flashed across in an instant.

And from start to finish, the Taibai Sword Master did not draw the Taibai Sword, not even moving a single step.

"Could it be that he will easily pass the formidable two-nine heavenly tribulation like this?" As the Taibai Sword Master neared the ninth heavenly thunderbolt with infinite closeness, about to breezily overcome a tribulation that other cultivators feared like vicious tigers, everyone felt an intense shock.

Whether it was the Sword Sect sword cultivators standing guard with the Taibai Sword Master at Yi River's platform, or the cultivators of Rinsing Spirit Sect who were under the influence of the Heart Demon clan, it was all the same.

The eighth heavenly thunderbolt arrived as expected.

Still the thickness of a vine, but the color had deepened to a dark purple near black.

Boom!

The deep purple heavenly thunderbolt again exploded ten feet atop the Taibai Sword Master's form, the blistering divine light brightened the sky, from just a glimmer to the brilliance of noon, dazzling and resplendent.

The vine-thick eighth heavenly thunderbolt transformed into a sea of thunder, completely engulfing the figure of the Taibai Sword Master.

Before the sea of thunder dispersed, allowing the crowd to see clearly, the ninth heavenly thunderbolt was already fast approaching.

Buzz!

This was a blackened heavenly thunderbolt, buzzing as it descended vertically.

Paths of thunder light radiated, with purple and black becoming the only two colors between heaven and earth.

In such a sea of thunder, the Taibai Sword Master and his Law Domain resembled a lone boat within a tsunami, appearing precariously close to disaster.

But everyone knew this was merely an illusion.

Because the heavenly tribulation had yet to force the Taibai Sword Master's Taibai Sword out, how could it be said to pose a danger to him?

The two-nine heavenly tribulation flashed repeatedly, and finally it all fell away.

Above the vastness of Yi River, the rumbling thunder ceased, and heaven and earth momentarily calmed, the thunderclouds dispersed as if they had never appeared.

And the vast sea of thunder suddenly jolted, as if pulled away by a gale, vanishing in a flash.

The Taibai Sword Master alone stood cold and serene, suspended lightly in the Heaven's Vault.

The two-nine heavenly tribulation had passed.

A strange force began to take root above the Heaven's Vault.

This was the power of heaven and earth brought by the heavenly tribulation.

The stronger the heavenly tribulation, the stronger the power of heaven and earth it generates.

As long as a cultivator refines this power of heaven and earth, they will undergo a qualitative transformation.

The issue is, one must first withstand the heavenly tribulation without dying for this power of heaven and earth to be refined by the cultivator.

Undoubtedly, the Taibai Sword Master had traversed the two-nine heavenly tribulation.

Upon absorbing and refining this power of heaven and earth, he would ascend to a Second Calamity Realm cultivator.

However, some did not wish to give the Taibai Sword Master the opportunity to ascend to the Second Calamity Realm.

"Time to end your trivial tricks." The gaze of the Sect Leader of Zhu Zhao focused, intending to unleash supreme ferocious techniques to kill the Taibai Sword Master before he ascended to the Second Calamity Realm.

His aura surged like a rainbow, unleashing a loud roar, and a colossal heavenly peng appeared behind him, its golden light piercing the sky.

An endless terrifying aura permeated.

But just as he was about to unleash his deadly move, an abrupt hum echoed across heaven and earth.

Following that, an overwhelming aura approached once more, suffocating everyone.

The Sect Leader of Zhu Zhao was most embarrassed, the aura rising from him was forcibly restrained at that moment, causing his aura to become chaotic, deepening his chest pain.

But he had to do so.

"There's more!" His eyes widened in astonishment, unable to resist looking up at Gao Tian.

There, dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, like thousands of troops and horses.

This is... the three-nine heavenly tribulation.

Under the heavenly tribulation, if he used mana to attack, the Heavenly Dao would likely mistake it for interfering with the Taibai Sword Master's tribulation crossing, and that would not end well.

Thus, he could only choose to forcibly restrain his aura just when it was about to erupt, truly a silent suffering.

But... how could this be?

It was the first time the Sect Leader of Zhu Zhao was dumbfounded.

After the two-nine heavenly tribulation, followed immediately by the three-nine heavenly tribulation, even before the power of heaven and earth of the two-nine heavenly tribulation had been absorbed.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a thing.

Unknowingly, the Taibai Sword Master who cultivates the Three Lives Body and Vast Righteousness Qi, after awakening memories of past lifetimes, could restore all Vast Righteousness Qi at will.

Once the Vast Righteousness Qi was fully restored, his cultivation would return to the peak of his past life.

For the Taibai Sword Master at this moment, achieving that state was just a matter of thought.

Boom!

Heaven once again sent down nine great thunderbolts.

Compared to the two-nine heavenly tribulation, the nine thunderbolts of the three-nine heavenly tribulation were now as thick as a tree trunk.

"Peak Master!" At this moment, some Sword Sect cultivators couldn't help but cry out.
