Chapter 1589: Two Sentences That Scared Away

While at the Zhang clan, Zhang Xuan had already reached the peak of the Void Realm and was on the verge of breaking through to the Ethereal Realm. However, fearing the tribulation lightning it would attract and the difficulty of handling its aftermath, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation.

As soon as he used his strength during the spar with Luo Xuanqing, the true qi in his body became uncontrollable, instantly breaking through the confines of the Void Realm, allowing his cultivation to reach Saint 9-dan, the Ethereal Realm.

"He can break through even now?"

Seeing the dark clouds filling the sky and the surging power within the young man, Luo Xuanqing's vision went dark, and he nearly fainted.

Weren't you just at the peak of the Void Realm?

Is the Ethereal Realm your personal property? You break through the moment you make a move?

His chest tightened painfully, and Luo Xuanqing felt like spitting blood.

He had just challenged him because he believed the opponent's rapid advancement might lead to unstable cultivation. Who knew, before they even began, the other party broke through again...

Compared to him, his own cultivation speed was as slow as a turtle... no, like a snail!

It was simply too embarrassing to face anyone.

*Rumble!*

While still utterly dejected, he saw the lightning in the sky gathering, growing larger and larger, already covering tens of thousands of acres.

Swallowing hard, his body trembling, Luo Xuanqing could no longer hold back and looked at the young man before him: "Zhang Xuan, are you here to marry my sister, or to destroy the Luo clan?"

The Ethereal Realm tribulation was simply too strong; if it truly descended, even the Luo clan's powerful formations might not be able to withstand it!

Weren't you here for the wedding?

Creating this mess means you're trying to annihilate the Luo clan...

"Uh... I really didn't mean to. How about... I suppress my cultivation again!"

Zhang Xuan's face flushed.

He had been suppressing it, hoping to find a good opportunity to overcome the tribulation lightning in a secluded place. Who knew that during the spar, he failed to control his power and suddenly broke through, putting him in a very awkward position!

"Suppress it? The tribulation lightning is already here, can you still suppress it?"

Luo Xuanqing's vision went dark again.

You've already broken through, and you want to suppress it again... Are you sure you're not joking?

The most urgent matter should be to find a way to overcome this powerful tribulation lightning, right?

Such immense lightning, even a peak Saint 9-dan cultivator might not be able to contend with it. Aren't you anxious at all?

"You're right. The tribulation lightning is here; I should scare it away first... but..."

Zhang Xuan's face was full of embarrassment: "I don't have a good method either..."

His Witch Soul had reached the peak of Saint 9-dan, making it unable to absorb more power. His cultivation had just broken through, and he lacked a suitable Heavenly Path cultivation technique. His physical body had only made progress a few days ago... Even with spiritual energy filling the sky, he couldn't absorb it, rendering it useless!

"No method? What do you mean? Don't you have a way to drive away tribulation lightning?"

Luo Xuanqing's face twitched.

The tribulation lightning for his Void Realm breakthrough was driven away by this very person. How is it that he can't do it for his own tribulation now?

"Let me make this clear: if you can't drive away this lightning, and it truly descends, the Luo clan will definitely not let you off easily, and you can forget about your marriage to my sister..."

Luo Xuanqing said, gritting his teeth.

"Uh..." Zhang Xuan scratched his head, nearly in tears.

Not breaking through earlier, not breaking through later, but precisely at this moment...

Now, his physical body, cultivation, and Witch Soul couldn't absorb energy. Even if he wanted to scare it away, he couldn't!

"Oh, right, I'll try this..."

Knowing the lightning was about to strike and he couldn't delay any longer, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth, suddenly flew up, placed his hands behind his back, and adopted an indifferent expression.

"Why is Xuan'er's Ethereal Realm tribulation so massive?"

"Don't worry, he can drive away tribulation lightning; he's done it several times before! This is a good chance to see how he actually does it!"

"Yes, I also heard that he seems to just charge directly into the lightning, and then, after a short while, the tribulation lightning trembles incessantly and scatters..."

Sword Saint Xing and Sword Saint Meng in the courtyard were also attracted by the thunderclouds filling the sky. Seeing that it was their son's Ethereal Realm tribulation, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Their son had created too many miracles, especially in contending with tribulation lightning, leaving behind one legend after another. Although this tribulation was very powerful, he should still be able to handle it easily.

"Look, he's flying up! He should charge into the lightning soon..."

Seeing Zhang Xuan arrive beneath the thunderclouds, Sword Saint Xing's face was filled with excitement.

"This is a rare opportunity. Watch carefully. If we can learn a trick or two, our Luo clan disciples won't have to worry about tribulation lightning anymore when they break through!"

The Luo clan's Grand Elder, Luo Qingchen, was also drawn by the lightning. He turned and instructed the group of elders behind him.

"Yes!" The many elders nodded in unison.

He had personally witnessed this young man in the sky help Luo Xuanqing resist tribulation lightning, but at the time, he hadn't fully understood how it was done. Now that it was happening again, it was a good chance to observe closely.

Once they learned this secret method of contending with lightning, their clan's younger generation would no longer fear tribulation when they underwent it again!

"Oh, right, bring the Spatial Mirror and record this scene. If we don't understand it now, we can repeatedly observe it later and eventually find clues..."

He instructed again.

Given his own strength, he hadn't fully understood how the other party succeeded the first time he witnessed it. Although there were many elders behind him, they likely wouldn't be able to fully comprehend it either. It would be best to record this scene and repeatedly observe it later to uncover any clues.

"Understood!"

The many elders quickly flew back, and before long, they indeed found a huge mirror—the Luo clan's super treasure, the Spatial Mirror, which could record witnessed events.

"He's already gone up..."

As soon as everyone had positioned the mirror, they heard a shout from Luo Qingchen, and then saw the young man fly into the sky, arriving beneath the lightning.

Everyone looked excited, eager to see how this legendary Zhang Xuan, the young genius of the Zhang clan, would resist the tribulation lightning.

*Rumble!*

Seeing him fly over, the lightning let out an irritable roar, thundering violently as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.

Looking up, Zhang Xuan's heart went numb, but he didn't show it on his face, maintaining a calm expression: "Little Thunder, we meet again!"

*Boom!*

Hearing his voice, the lightning paused, and its roar was no longer as loud as before.

"Stop roaring. Get lost before I get angry!"

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow, a clear look of impatience on his face.

The lightning's sound grew weaker, and the dark clouds filling the sky seemed to tremble incessantly upon hearing his words.

"Don't push your luck... If you provoke me, you should know the consequences. Don't wait until it's too late to regret it!"

Seeing that it still didn't leave, Zhang Xuan snorted again.

"Boom!"

After a moment of hesitation, the lightning seemed to have made a monumental decision, letting out another reluctant roar.

*Whoosh!*

It suddenly turned and left, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, never to be seen again.

Just moments ago, dark clouds filled the sky, making everyone feel as if the end of the world had arrived. Now, the sky was clear and bright, without a single cloud.

"This... this actually worked?"

"Just a few threats and it leaves? When did tribulation lightning become this simple?"

Luo Qingchen and the others were dumbfounded.
