Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 131 Surviving the Calamity

Endless lightning filled Snake Mountain as dozens of cultivators underwent tribulation, the commotion so great that even mortals in the nearby oasis could sense it.

When ordinary people saw the lightning on Snake Mountain, they thought it must be because evil spirits had emerged from the mountain, causing the heavens to send down punishment.

Amidst the lightning, Qi Zhe charged left and right, continuously attacking and killing cultivators, unstoppable even by the constant barrage of lightning striking him.

"Today you have slaughtered us all, and in the future, not only will you have nowhere to hide in the Eastern Wilderness, but you will have nowhere to hide in the entire Northern Dipper!" Jin Chixiao's expression was extremely crazed.

He watched as Qi Zhe made his move amidst the lightning, each strike resulting in the death of a Golden Family cultivator, and in a short time, he had killed more than ten people.

At this moment, he hated Qi Zhe to the core and kept cursing him.

However, he had been avoiding Qi Zhe and dared not come into contact with him at all, but even so he still got caught up in the heavenly tribulation and was now struggling to cross it.

"You think you can summon heavenly tribulation just to stop us? Once I've overcome my tribulation, that will be the time of your death!"

The powerful being roared in mid-air amidst the lightning, its boundless blood energy overflowing and covering the entire mountain range, determined to use its own cultivation to resist the heavenly tribulation.

Even for powerful beings, their first tribulation is not something that can be accomplished easily.

Many powerful beings in the Eastern Wilderness have never survived a single tribulation in their entire lives and have absolutely no experience with it.

Often, their first tribulation is their last. Even those with extraordinary cultivation, capable of shaking mountains and rivers, will die.

At this moment, Qi Zhe completely disregarded such words. Seeing his opponent unable to move due to the heavenly tribulation, he sneered:
"If you can successfully overcome this tribulation, what's wrong with giving me my life!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe was very confident, holding a stone stick and waving it around in the heavenly tribulation, with rune wings flashing behind him.

"boom!!!"

With another blow, the dragon-transformation cultivator from the Northern Plains Golden Family was reduced to minced meat under the stone club, and then shattered into ashes by the heavenly tribulation.

He was like a demon star; no one could stop him when he struck with his stone club. He was fulfilling his promise to bury all of these people in this mountain.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there were fewer than five cultivators left alive in this mountain range, and even Jin Chixiao, who had been hiding for a long time, was hit by a stick.

"No!" Jin Chixiao cried out in anguish.

His body exploded under the lightning, countless pieces of flesh were charred by the lightning, and he was about to die under the heavenly tribulation.

"Aaaaaah, you deserve to die!"

This powerful being, his body charred black, roared in anger. If he hadn't been pinned down by bolts of lightning as thick as mountains, he would have surely attacked Qi Zhe.

At this moment, he was filled with rage. He thought it would be a piece of cake, but he never expected it to turn out like this, with even Jin Chixiao about to die.

This made him unable to calm down. Even though his body was severely injured, he managed to muster the remaining strength and directly summoned a weapon from his sea of ​​consciousness.

"clank.!"

It was a large, golden bell that traveled against the lightning, but it was blasted down by the heavenly tribulation not long after it had gone forward.

The golden bell was constantly deforming amidst the lightning, and because it was not made of rare materials, it was now on the verge of destruction.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe laughed loudly: "To transcend oneself during the tribulation, one must take the physical body as the foundation, while the weapon and divine consciousness are also tempered together!"

"You think you can kill me by brandishing your weapon? Your weapon can't even escape the sea of ​​lightning. You don't have the divine power to kill me!"

The boundless lightning in a cultivator's tribulation bombards everything, and once the scale becomes large enough, it becomes very difficult to truly penetrate the entire sea of ​​lightning.

This powerful heavenly tribulation stretched for thousands of miles. With his supernatural abilities, it was impossible for him to launch the attack out of the sea of ​​lightning unless he possessed extraordinary talent.

However, it was obvious that he did not. His body was struck by thousands of lightning bolts, making it difficult for him to even move. His attempt to kill Qi Zhe from a distance was nothing but wishful thinking.

"Damn it!!!" Jin Chixiao, whose body had exploded in the distance, suddenly cried out. He hadn't actually died from the heavenly tribulation and had miraculously recovered. However, Qi Zhe was not far from him, so he fled at top speed as soon as he appeared, hoping to escape Qi Zhe's pursuit.

Qi Zhe looked on in astonishment. This kid definitely possessed some extraordinary treasure. He hadn't died under these circumstances; anyone else would have been dead by now.

Qi Zhe couldn't help but say, "It seems there are other gains as well!"

With a jolt, he chased after Jin Chixiao, his pair of rune-covered wings shining brightly behind him, easily breaking through the opponent's heavenly tribulation.

"Boom!!!" Qi Zhe struck out with the stone staff in his hand again, and the Heavenly Tribulation of Annihilation struck Jin Chixiao once more, causing his body to explode again.

"Can he escape?" Qi Zhe murmured, then reached out and enveloped Jin Chixiao's entire body, trying to investigate everything.

The powerful being thousands of miles away, seeing this, was furious, but he was also on the verge of death. Even if he was indignant, he was powerless to intervene and could only roar:
"you!"

At this moment, Jin Chixiao was on the verge of death, his divine consciousness about to be extinguished. He could only urge his divine consciousness to beg for mercy: "Don't kill me!"

"Swoosh!" But the next moment he fell silent. Qi Zhe's large hand crushed down mercilessly, showing no intention of letting the other party go.

"This world is so cruel; death is but a moment away," Qi Zhe said with a strange expression.

Even if the struggle between cultivators doesn't involve the path to the Emperor or personal grudges, they won't show mercy to each other, and Qi Zhe naturally won't hold back either.

Without strength, one cannot speak of survival. Anything is worse than being a loser. It's better to defeat the opponent than to beg for mercy.

This is Qi Zhe's way of life.

"Ahhhh!!!"

At that moment, the powerful being let out a miserable scream. After enduring for so long, he finally could not hold on any longer, and his body was torn to pieces by the lightning.

At this moment, his face was ashen, all his blood essence was exhausted, and he could no longer recover his body. He could only wither and wait for death.

But the heavenly tribulation shows no mercy; it will not dissipate until it is completely overcome, and it will continue to strike down even if the person is on the verge of death.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning flashing with seven-colored light descended from the void, completely obliterating the powerful being.

"No matter how many years you roamed the world, even as a powerful being, you will turn to ashes. It wasn't me who killed you, but you who sought your own death!"

Qi Zhe believed that everything in the world had a cause and effect, and since Jin Youxing broke into the underground space and approached the Snake Heart Palace, all of this was unavoidable.

He sought survival in the chaos of the world, and would strike whenever there was a threat. He would kill one wave after another until no one wanted to kill him anymore.

Meanwhile, in the Jin family of Beiyuan, more than a dozen soul lamps went out one after another, with the soul lamps of the powerful figure and Jin Chixiao being the last to shatter.

They noticed something was wrong as soon as it happened, but it was too late to say anything then. They could only watch as the powerful figure perished and the successor was nowhere to be found.

"How can this be accepted! No matter who he is, he must die. We must search the entire Eastern Wilderness and find him to be decapitated!"

An angry roar came from the ancient hall, and the Golden Family immediately dispatched all their experts to head to the Eastern Wilderness.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhe was also undergoing his tribulation. His tribulation was not yet over. Although he had annihilated the great enemy, the heavenly tribulation was becoming increasingly fierce.

"The Great Calamity of Dragon Transformation!"

Lightning flashed across the mountains, each strike more powerful than the last, threatening to cleave the mountains and destroy the world.

This momentum was astonishing, far exceeding Qi Zhe's expectations and far surpassing his original estimate.

"It's because my potential has been enhanced once again, making the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation even higher."
