Perfect Double Agent

It is beautiful, but it is also full of arrogance, haughty and domineering, with an invisible sharpness and the pride of ancient traditions.

"Is something wrong?"

The girl in the golden dress looked down at Bai Ye with piercing eyes, as if interrogating him, "Did my brother come looking for you?"

Who is your brother?

"Don't play dumb, you know where I come from."

"Whether it's you or your brother, it's none of my business!"

"you……"

With a clang, the divine sword was drawn, its brilliant light illuminating the heavens and the earth, like a silver lightning bolt streaking across the sky, even causing the heavy rain in the area to tremble.

But at the same moment, a large hand made of transparent symbols reached out, resembling a dragon's claw, and grabbed the incoming sword light.

"Crack..."

The sword light shattered, like broken glass, instantly turning into a storm of fragments that, along with a dragon claw, reached towards the girl in the golden dress, causing her face to turn pale.

But at that moment, a divine hand suddenly emerged from the distant void, covering the sky and the earth, and with a single wave it dispersed the storm and shattered the energy dragon claw.

It was an old woman dressed in white robes. She appeared from the void and stood beside the girl in the golden dress. She looked Bai Ye up and down and said, "We have no ill intentions. We just want to investigate the cause of Young Master Changfeng's death."

"It's none of my business." Bai Ye glanced at the two of them, closed his eyes, and ignored them.

"That would be best." The old woman chuckled softly and left with the resentful girl in the golden dress.

Even after walking quite a distance, the blonde girl's face remained icy. "Why didn't you catch him? My brother came out this time mainly to contact the First Generation. Whether it's him or the remaining two First Generations, they can't escape the connection."

Especially that Bai Ye, he's too arrogant, he doesn't take our Sword Valley seriously at all, maybe he's the one who killed my brother."

"That's possible. I've heard that Bai Ye is extremely favored and possesses many secret treasures. Even if I were to take action, I might not be able to capture him."

"Are we just going to let him go like that? Maybe he used a deadly weapon to assassinate the two Sword Elders and kill my brother at the same time!"

"Some things are better left unsaid; we don't need to do them ourselves. Whether it's Bai Ye or Feng Wu, whoever it is, killing someone from my Sword Valley will not escape the fate of death," the old woman said calmly.

……

……

Half a month has passed.

The torrential rain that had been constantly shrouding the Great Wilderness continued, accompanied by thunder and gale-force winds that filled the sky, making the entire Great Wilderness feel exceptionally oppressive.

On a vast lake, a figure slowly opened her eyes. A flash of divine light appeared in her eyes before they regained their brightness, but the scene that met her eyes left her slightly stunned.

The vast lake stretched for thousands of miles, its waves surging and boundless. Lightning flashed, as thick as buckets, descending from the sky and striking a figure sitting cross-legged inside a cauldron forged from lightning, causing his hair to stand on end.

However, the opponent's physical body was extremely abnormal. Despite being struck by lightning, it not only remained unharmed but also used the power of the lightning to temper itself.

"The cave... And are you out of your mind, deliberately inviting lightning to strike yourself?"

"No, I'm just enjoying the process of taking a shower." Bai Ye turned around and showed a bright smile, but the next moment, the lightning above his head began to rage.

Thousands of beams of light and lightning struck simultaneously, illuminating the heavens and the earth, creating a spectacular and breathtaking scene, like a calamity.

"Little White Night, don't tell me you want to attract lightning tribulation!" The witch, inside the array, watched with trepidation.

Legend has it that in the ancient era of immortals, reaching a certain level and advancing to each level could trigger a celestial calamity, but those who survived it would receive great benefits for both their physical body and their soul.

However, since the destruction of the Immortal Ancient Realm, there has been no trace of lightning tribulation in the world.

This does not mean that the lightning tribulation has disappeared; the lightning tribulation still exists, but it needs to be drawn down using certain methods.

However, the lightning tribulation it triggers is like a taboo, so powerful it's terrifying. Since ancient times, those who have deliberately provoked them have all suffered annihilation, dying beyond any hope of survival.

"It's not exactly a tribulation of lightning; I'm just waiting for the Thunder Elixir."

As soon as the words were spoken, the thunder in the sky became even denser, as if it had gathered into a vast lake stretching for hundreds of miles, covering the entire sky with a dazzling brightness.

This was undoubtedly terrifying; lightning bolts rained down upon the Thunder Cauldron, their ferocity terrifying. Faintly, wisps of musical notes could be heard echoing in that area, making the entire world seem to fall silent.

The musical notes, like ripples on water, spread across the universe, ethereal yet serene, leaving everything in silence.

The witch rubbed her eyes, watching as Thunder Lake was swallowed into the cauldron. Amidst the extreme destruction, there were even drops of purple liquid, only five or six drops, but they were extremely conspicuous.

"There really is!"

The witch was astonished. This was a precious liquid from heaven and earth. If she was lucky, she might be able to find a few drops on the ground after a thunderstorm.

Some prominent figures have analyzed that while lightning tribulations are inherently destructive, they also contain a glimmer of life. This is why things like lightning elixir are sometimes conceived. Furthermore, some lightning tribulations contain strange pools deep within them, which are extremely bizarre and difficult to understand.

The witch relaxed, put away the magic array, and prepared to ascend to the sky. "Sharing is worse than enjoying alone," she said. "Junior brother, save some for me. I haven't tried it yet."

But just as she began to take a step, the power of the thunder in that area suddenly intensified by several times, as if it had been triggered by something.

At the same time, the heavy rain in the entire world stopped, a cold wind blew, dark clouds pressed down overhead, and the might of the heavens was terrifying, enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Chapter 79 Tribulation

One after another, thunder dragons surged and roamed in the dark clouds. The moment they raised their heads and roared, they were enough to illuminate hundreds of miles. They carried a terrifying divine might that made people feel depressed, as if they were about to form a divine punishment.

"Hmm? The weather has changed?" Bai Ye got up from the Thunder Cauldron and looked up at the sky. The oppressive feeling was getting stronger and stronger. The might of the heavens was like a vast ocean in the wandering thunder dragons, carrying an ominous aura that enveloped him.

But deep within those clouds, there also existed a human figure.

He was dressed in a black robe and held a piece of ancient wood that crackled with lightning. He appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds like a ghost.

"Boom!"

The thunder roared, illuminating the dark clouds and the face beneath the black robe. It was a gaunt old man with sharp eyes, looking down at the white night. As he grinned, a centipede-like scar appeared on his cheek, making him look both ferocious and terrifying, like a vengeful ghost.

"That's... Lei Mu! Someone from Sword Valley?"

"Ten Thousand Sacred Mountains, Elder Demon Eagle, brat, enjoy yourself..."

The old man's voice was extremely hoarse. He glanced coldly at Bai Ye, released the seal on the thunderwood, and charged at Bai Ye.

At this moment, the sky was raging, as if it had been completely ignited. The original purple lightning instantly turned into blood-red lightning, pouring down like a vast ocean, shattering a figure into nothingness.

The opponent was not the real body, but an avatar, hiding in the dark clouds using a secret treasure, and ambushing Bai Ye at a crucial moment.

Killing someone is nothing more than a quick death, but this method is the most shameless, directly triggering a lightning tribulation. Whether it's a secret treasure or a protective talisman, everything will be rendered useless in the face of the lightning tribulation.

"The idea is good, but you underestimate the tribulation of lightning. You think you'll be safe just because you've severed your clone? Precisely because there is no tribulation of lightning in this era, few people know how to deal with it."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a series of explosions echoed from the horizon, the atmosphere there even more terrifying, sending chills down one's spine even from tens of thousands of miles away.

"How could this be... I clearly isolated all my auras and severed my clones!" A terrified voice roared, and a pair of eyes seemed to pierce through the world as it stared intently at Bai Ye from afar. "If I can't live, neither can you. Since ancient times, all those who have tried to transcend tribulation have died, including the first generation. With you accompanying me to hell, it's not a complete loss!"

"Isn't it a loss?"

Bai Ye looked at the piece of lightning wood that had fallen beside him, raised his sleeve, and swept it away. He calmly watched the falling lightning, neither dodging nor evading, but instead took the initiative to ascend into the sky, opening his mind and letting the lightning strike him.

But in just a moment, his white robe was shattered, and even his crystal-clear flesh was covered in bloody marks.

It was too violent and too powerful, as if it were the strongest heavenly tribulation possessed at this level.

"Junior brother!" The witch was stunned. The torrent of blood-red lightning was too dense, instantly engulfing the figure and leaving her completely at a loss.

"Find a safe place to hide, prepare your secret treasures, and guard against any sneak attacks. Your junior brother will snatch some Thunder Tribulation Liquid for you!"

The witch looked tense and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

According to ancient legend, the tribulation of lightning in this era is a death sentence. Once triggered, no matter how outstanding you are or how strong you are in an era, you will die without a burial place.

It's not that it's impossible to overcome, but rather that the tribulation lightning it triggers is abnormally powerful. Although it won't exceed the realm of the one undergoing the tribulation, it's suspected to be the most terrifying tribulation lightning of the current realm, specially prepared for a few supreme geniuses of the Immortal Ancient Era. Therefore, no one in this era can stop it.

But the figure was not afraid. In the thunder, his body trembled, and thousands of divine rays transformed into a bell. As it shook, sound waves spread, and the power of spacetime boiled, constantly resisting the blood-red lightning.

However, as time went by, Thunder became increasingly strange, and an unbelievable scene unfolded within it.

It was a red sable, its entire body blood-red, its fur gleaming with lightning. It flashed through the dark clouds like a real creature, its speed astonishing, and it crashed directly into Bai Ye.

"Boom!"

A massive collapse occurred in that area, with blood filling the air, lightning flashing, and a time-space clock faintly visible floating in the sea of ​​lightning.

"Buzz!"

The great bell shook, carrying the figure inside directly into the depths of the sea of ​​thunder.

It was too violent and too unrestrained, leaving the witch stunned, her mouth slightly agape.

The figure was not tall, but already possessed an air of grandeur, like a supreme hero standing between heaven and earth, entering the sea of ​​lightning alone, with a large bell on his head, battling against one strange lightning creature after another.

Those lightning creatures seemed to be formed from the laws of lightning, containing the essence of the Dao of Lightning. After being killed, they were all swallowed by the boy, crackling and popping inside his body, as if undergoing a baptism. A layer of charred skin peeled off his body, revealing a more crystalline skin, as if he were undergoing a metamorphosis.

"Weak, too weak. You managed to escape last time, but do you think you can get away this time?"

The witch looked at the boy who was pointing to the sky and roaring, covered her face with her hands, feeling that it was an eyesore, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel ashamed for her junior brother. He was just bored and had nothing better to do than provoke the tribulation.

However, just as she was worrying, the lightning tribulation seemed to come alive, and a blood-red battle axe fell directly from the sky.

It was enormous, over a hundred feet long, as if wielded by an invisible giant, cleaving down with terrifying force.

"When~"

The bell trembled, and under the force of the giant axe, it made a series of cracking sounds. However, this was only one strike. Immediately afterward, a large sword followed!

"Swords and axes at my feet? What can they do to me!"

That boy was too arrogant. His golden spear shot straight into the sky and collided with the giant axe. At the same time, he raised his arm and swung his sword to cleave the sky, as if he wanted to cut through the thunderclouds, break through the darkness, and see the light.

That wasn't the end of it. The boy disappeared, and in his place stood a silver grass that was a hundred feet tall.

It is very peculiar, with nine leaves, each leaf like a silver sword. When it unfolds, the sword light is unparalleled, sharp and terrifying, as if it could cleave the universe and cut down countless stars.

This force was terrifying, domineering, and directly impacted people's hearts. It was like a sword cleaving through the heavens, sweeping across the land, and even the thunderclouds seemed to be cut in two, revealing parts of their inner world.

"That's...the mainland!"

The witch could hardly believe her eyes, staring in horror at the ancient continent that had manifested deep within the sea of ​​lightning. It resembled a corner of a battlefield; the moment it appeared, the heavens and earth roared, and endless lightning flashed.

Faintly visible above, an indistinguishable ancient beast manifests, with a dragon's tail and an ox's body, possessing nine heads and eight legs, and bearing two kinds of wings on its back. Its shape resembles a combination of several heavenly-rank ferocious beasts.

"Is this still a tribulation of lightning...? What exactly happened in the Immortal Ancient Era..." The witch murmured to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief.
