What do you mean the game swordsman I controlled has come back to life?

Thunderclouds gathered again above the orchard, this time covering a wider area, with dark clouds pressing down overhead.

"She's dead! How dare she defy the will of Heaven!" Zhang Bi's eyes gleamed with excitement.

There are also geniuses on the Jade Void Continent who dare to challenge the Heavenly Dao, but they are all punished by the Heavenly Dao and reduced to ashes.

"Qingwu, what are you doing?" Su Qinghan asked anxiously.

During the Heavenly Tribulation, no one dares to interfere, not even a Mahayana cultivator, otherwise they will be punished by the Heavenly Dao.

The tribulation of heaven can only be borne by the one who is to be afflicted; otherwise, the lightning tribulation sent down by the heavens will have several times the power of the one who is afflicted, blasting the other party to death.

At the same time, it will also punish the person undergoing the tribulation, making the power of the tribulation even more terrifying.

"Hahahaha, cultivators who defy the heavens are doomed to die."

Zhang Bi felt a surge of joy. This monster was ridiculously strong. If it weren't for its arrogance in defying the heavens, he wouldn't have been able to think of any way to kill it.

Yue Qingwu held her sword and gazed at the sky.

Tiny purple flashes appeared in the thunderclouds.

good chance!

Lu Li immediately pressed the right mouse button, and the moment his longsword parried the attack, a purple lightning bolt, like a pillar supporting the sky, struck the character's sword.

That purple pillar of lightning, which seemed to split the sky in two, actually crashed back towards the thunderclouds above.

The thunderclouds were shattered into pieces.

As if enraged, thunderclouds rapidly condensed.

Another bolt of lightning struck down.

Lu Li used the same method to bounce it back.

"The way of Heaven is nothing more than this."

The two groups of Su Qinghan and Zhang Bi, who were watching from below, saw purple lightning pillars that seemed to split the heavens and earth crashing down on the sword cultivator.

However, they were all slashed back by the opponent's longsword.

"What kind of sword technique is that? How... how could it possibly repel the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning?"

Su Qinghan didn't recall ever teaching his disciples this move. Not only had he not taught it, but no one in the entire Shangqing Sword Sect had ever even heard of a sword technique that could deflect lightning tribulation.

His disciple had merely raised his sword and made an ordinary swing, yet he had managed to send the heaven-splitting Purple Heaven Divine Lightning flying back.

What kind of magic or sword technique is this?

The flower understood her words, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.

What a majestic junior sister! So cool!

Dozens of purple lightning bolts struck down in succession, but Yue Qingwu caught them all.

The black thunderclouds dissipated unwillingly.

Lu Li looked at his character in the game interface, gazing at the sky as the thunderclouds dissipated, and suddenly an idea came to him.

The lightning tribulation itself typed out "That's it," and then struck even harder.

Is there some kind of mechanism at play here, or is there some kind of NPC controlling it?

In this type of Souls-like fighting game, anything that can attack the game character can be considered a boss.

It's simply a matter of taking different paths, such as two factions. Whichever side a game character joins, the other side automatically becomes the BOSS.

NPCs who were originally there to guide and help the player will become enemies when the protagonist takes the other side.

Of course, in this situation, in order to experience the entire story, players will basically jump around left and right and kill everyone.

Could the Heavenly Dao behind this tribulation be a late-game boss?

Lu Li felt that he had discovered the trail of a hidden big boss in the Sword Immortal game.

Let me confirm if it's true.

At this point, given the game's setting that allows players to freely interact with NPCs, players will need to explore and experiment on their own.

Lu Li immediately typed a provocative message.

"Following the natural order makes one mortal, defying it makes one immortal; my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven."

"Heavenly Dao, you're nothing special after all. Come on, again!"

Yue Qingwu looked up at the sky, and her words made everyone present wonder if they had misheard.

Did this guy just say something incredibly treasonous?

As Yue Qingwu listened to Li's words, she couldn't help but think: "Is Senior Li telling me the secret to becoming an immortal?"

It has been nearly 50,000 years since anyone on the Jade Void Continent has ascended to the Immortal Realm. Most of them remain stuck at the Mahayana stage, unable to make any further progress.

And this senior was originally an immortal, dating back to 307 years ago on the Jade Void Continent, 100,000 years ago.

The first person to become an immortal after the Heavenly Court Immortal War ended, the Great Dao Laws shattered, and the spiritual energy declined.

No wonder no one has ascended to the Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is deliberately preventing others from becoming immortals?

Yue Qingwu felt as if she had discovered some enormous secret.

At this moment, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and everything in the Fruit Forest, from wind and rain to everything else, seemed to have been paused; even the chirping of cicadas and birds seemed to have been muted.

Everyone present had their hair stand on end, and tiny sparks of electricity flickered in the space. Everyone felt a tingling, numbing sensation on their skin.

Those who were staring directly at the thunderclouds felt a gaze coming from the endless sky above.

Cold and indifferent, looking down aloofly at the ants on the ground.

The Heavenly Dao cast its gaze, but that gaze was mainly fixed on the swordsman in the air.

Even so, everyone present lowered their heads, their bodies trembling as they involuntarily knelt down.

Only the proud, sharp-edged swordsman standing in the sky did not lower his head to meet his gaze.

It seemed that the gaze grew even angrier when it realized that the swordsman standing proudly in the air had not been made to bow his head and kneel.

An even stronger pressure descended upon the sword cultivator, seemingly trying to force him to submit.

However, the other party remained as straight and unmoving as a sturdy pine tree.

"What happened? Is it stuck?"

Lu Li was puzzled. Why was there no sound all of a sudden? Was the game lagging or were his headphones broken?

The game interface was also flashing.

"Why is there a problem with the connection? Is the voltage unstable?"

Or is this a special effect from the game? They installed it on my computer; the game designers really know how to play games.

On an unnamed mountain on the Jade Void Continent, an old Taoist opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless space as he looked toward a certain location.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, I haven't seen it for tens of thousands of years. Another great figure has emerged in this world."

On the endless deep seabed, a 'mountain range' stretching for tens of thousands of miles opened its eyes, its rocks trembling as it revealed a pair of golden vertical pupils.

"Which old monster is challenging the will of Heaven again?"

Within a vast mountain range composed of bones, a gaunt old man smiled sinisterly on a throne made of human bones and the bones of an unknown monster.

"The Jade Void Continent has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years, and it's about to get interesting again. How interesting!"

At this moment, countless old monsters slumbering and hiding in forbidden zones and dojos across the Jade Void Continent turned their gazes in a certain direction.

The deep, silent thunderclouds rolled and covered the horizon where it met the ground.

"It's over, we're all going to die." Zhang Bi plopped down on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.

What kind of madman have I encountered? He keeps defying the will of Heaven, as if he doesn't want me to die soon enough.

Su Qinghan gritted her teeth and tried to look up at the sky.

A black bolt of lightning fell silently, moving very slowly, unlike the previous lightning tribulation.

Everyone present felt an aura of destruction that threatened to destroy all living beings.

"Qingwu!" Su Qinghan cried out in anguish.

"Well done!"

Yue Qingwu still raised his sword to block.

The longsword collided with the black lightning.

Ok?

Lu Li looked at the game interface and saw that his character had perfectly parried, but still failed to parry, and was stuck there.

At that moment, the F key appeared on the screen, allowing you to zoom in and out.

Below, there's a black progress bar that's ticking and decreasing.

Is it a test of speed?

Lu Li was very familiar with it; it would appear when he frantically pressed a certain key to break free or when he was being held back by the BOSS during an attack.

Lu Li frantically pressed the F key.

Behold, I'll repay you with lightning!

He filled the loading bar below.

In the game, the character unleashes a sword strike, and a black lightning bolt crashes into the thunderclouds from the sky.
