Chapter 69: Double Advancement

  Some exhausted Lei Hao saw Tulong rush out of the secret room and was startled, hastily using his divine consciousness to summon Tulong, but got a vague 'crossing tribulation' information, which made Lei Hao's heart joyful, he understood that after this rebirth, Tulong had become stronger again.

  However, this simple information of 'crossing the tribulation' made Lei Hao's heart tighten again, and he didn't have time to recover his magic power. He dragged his tired body towards the top of the mountain.

  The movement on the mountain top naturally didn't escape the brothers on Kan Yuan Shan, and after Lei Hao stood still for just a few breaths, there were continuously more and more brothers rushing over from inside the cave.

  "Head? Are you out of jail?" Lei Daniu saw Lei Hao and was overjoyed, walking up to ask with a smile.

  Lei Hao nodded and pointed at the Tulong that was constantly rotating in mid-air, saying to Lei Daniu: "That's Tulong. This calamity is coming for Tulong."

  Lei Daniu's face turned dull for a breath before suddenly changing, his eyes widening as he stared at Tulong and exclaimed in shock: "Tulong? Isn't that your war knife? Why does it also want to undergo the Thunder Tribulation?"

  Lei Hao shook his head calmly, the "Sixth-Rank Fire Gold Immortal's Secret" only mentioned a few words about the tribulation of artifacts, vaguely mentioning that "artifacts crossing the tribulation, ordinary people entering immortality!" Lei Hao was also somewhat perplexed, but one thing he could confirm was that this thunder tribulation would be good for Tulong.

  Just by looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky, the momentum of the rolling gas is even more powerful than the heavenly tribulation that Lei Hao crossed during his ascension to the fairy realm. From this, Lei Hao knew how terrifying the heavenly tribulation that Tulong wanted to cross was this time.

  Later, more and more demons appeared on the mountain top, all of them looking around in confusion, searching for who was going to cross the tribulation. Lei Hao, however, was fully focused on watching Tulong, without any intention of explaining one by one.

  "Niu Tou, what treasure is born in this Kanyuanshan Mountain that the Heavens have sent down a calamity?" Suddenly, Lei Hao who was fully focused heard a familiar voice.

  No need to turn around, Lei Hao knew it was definitely Sun Wukong, "How did you get here?"

  "What a big commotion on Mount Canyuan, I sensed it from the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. How could I not come to take a look? What kind of treasure is this that's causing such chaos?" Sun Wukong asked with a curious expression.

  "I was also puzzled. I re-refined the dragon-slaying technique in the secret room inside the cave, and then it automatically flew out and said it was a tribulation." Lei Hao said without turning his head back.

  "What? You're saying that the one who crossed the tribulation is your Dragon-Slaying Sword?" A surprised and startled voice expressed Sun Wukong's emotions at this moment.

  Lei Hao turned his head and nodded at Sun Wukong. Listening to this guy's words, it seemed that he knew what the Dragon Slaying Tribulation was all about.

  Seeing Lei Hao nodding, a naked and envious expression appeared on Sun Wukong's face. He said to Lei Hao in a very yearning tone: "I also heard from a senior brother in the sect back then that when an extraordinary treasure is born, there will usually be a calamity descending..."

  Before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, Lei Hao interrupted him, "Peerless Treasure?"

  Sun Wukong's eyes stared fixedly at Tulong, swallowing his saliva and saying: "The ultimate treasure is a treasure with a complete instrument soul, or it can be said to be a post-heavenly spiritual treasure!"

  Lei Hao was also stunned and stuttered: "Wh...what did you say? Wh...say it again, tomorrow...Lingbao?"

  Sun Wukong looked at Lei Hao with a face full of envy again and nodded.

  This news was like being hit on the head by a pie dropped from the sky, and he was dizzy for a long time before saying: "Say it again? What spiritual treasure?"

  Seeing Lei Hao like this, Sun Wukong made a disdainful gesture towards him and said: "Houtian, Lingbao!"

  Lei Hao was overjoyed, turned his head around, and laughed so hard that his big mouth almost split to the roots of his ears. He continued to gaze at Tulong with a delighted expression on his face, but he didn't say a word. He still needed some time to digest this heavenly good news.

  Perhaps it was Sun Wukong who couldn't stand Lei Hao's 'smug' expression, and he opened his mouth to strike: "It's just that the tribulation of the instrument is not comparable to the ordinary heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation can be avoided, can be hidden, I, old Sun, can still help you bear it, but the tribulation of the instrument cannot be avoided, also cannot be hidden. If you can't get through the tribulation of the instrument, even the best magical treasures will be useless."

  Lei Hao's smile froze on his face as he turned around in disbelief and asked, "What? You can't help Zhu Long cross the tribulation either?"

  Sun Wukong was about to strike Lei Hao again, but looking at his appearance, he felt a little unbearable, so he just nodded and stopped talking.

  Seeing Sun Wukong nodding, Lei Hao's heart suddenly became hesitant and uneasy, "I'd better not play with him like this."

  Lei Hao only hesitated for a few breaths before becoming resolute again, he released all his divine sense into the soul of Tulong, and the remaining mana in his body flowed continuously into the body of Tulong Knife. Since Lei Hao was the master of Tulong, he absolutely could not watch Tulong face this terrifying catastrophe alone.

  The dragon slayer in the sky was not intimidated at all, facing the mighty heavenly power, stubbornly releasing a fierce and violent pressure that was exactly the same as Lei Hao's, the light on the blade flickered constantly, like a small boat swaying in the turbulent waves.

  Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, the lightning began to descend.

  A bucket-sized lightning bolt illuminated the sky in an instant, and within a fraction of a breath, it heavily struck the Dragon Slayer. The golden light on the Dragon Slayer's body trembled, and Lei Hao's divine sense was as if pricked by a needle.

  This bolt of lightning was like a blaring bugle call, and after a breath later, Lei Hao didn't know how many bolts of lightning crazily hacked at Tulong's body. Lei Hao's divine sense was hacked to the point of flickering.

  Just at this time, Lei Hao, who was facing the tribulation lightning from another angle, suddenly entered a very strange state.

  He was like a soul without any substance, standing beside the dragon slayer, coldly watching the endless falling of thunderbolts from the center of the catastrophe.

  Those streaks of lightning in Lei Hao's eyes turned into ancient runes, a kind that Lei Hao had never seen before, emitting an aura from the Primordial Chaos. Standing on the mountain top, Lei Hao's eyes also flashed with countless purple runes, which were like a fast-playing movie, quickly flashing through Lei Hao's eyes and then captured by the purple golden primordial spirit in his dantian.

  At this time, Lei Hao's primordial spirit had an excited and joyful expression, his two chubby little hands waving non-stop, conjuring up purple runes out of thin air, then putting these purple runes into a pale purple fruit-like virtual shadow under his butt.

  As the lightning fell faster, the purple runes flashing in Leihao's eyes grew more numerous, and the two small hands of his primordial spirit moved as swiftly as a whirlwind, leaving behind only a faint afterimage. The pale purple fruit at the base of his spine also grew increasingly solid, almost taking on a substantial form similar to that of his primordial spirit.

  After several breaths, the Eighty Tribulations of Thunder had been continuously slashed down, and the newly forged Dragon Slaying Knife was already covered in scars. Lei Hao's divine sense was also constantly shaking, as if it would extinguish at any moment.

  The dark clouds in the sky were still rolling violently, a sense of calm before the storm was deeply pressing on the hearts of the monsters in the Water Cavern.

  After a long time, the thunder accumulated energy and burst out in a deafening roar. A purple "divine dragon" emerged, carrying a shocking howl as it spiralled towards the small Dragon Slayer. The divine dragon's violent aura forced all the demons on the mountain top to retreat continuously. Lei Dabao almost exhausted all his magical powers, his cow face turned bright red but he couldn't stop retreating.

  The heavily wounded dragon slayer seemed to have sensed the crisis, and in an instant, he drained all the magic power from Lei Hao's body, flying towards the purple lightning tribulation dragon, swinging out a knife.

  Hundreds of feet of purple sword energy flashed by, and this move was actually Lei Hao's ultimate move 'Fissure', Tulong could actually slash out this sword on its own without Lei Hao's control, no wonder it had a complete instrument soul!

  The earth-shattering "land cracking" momentum of the Dragon Slaying Sword was enormous, its power extraordinary. It heavily slammed into the Calamity Thunder Dragon, whose massive body moved slightly, but still crashed heavily onto the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword with unrelenting force.

  A deafening boom, as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated in the sky, gave rise to a gigantic, beautiful and terrifying mushroom cloud.

  Sun Wukong saw the situation, waved his hand, and a semi-circular golden protective shield appeared on the top of the mountain, blocking the explosion of the turbulent waves and the extremely high temperature. Meanwhile, Tulong was directly blown into the earth's crust by the massive force generated by this explosion.

  Lei Hao on top of the mountain also spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.

  After the Dragon-Slaying Sword was struck by the Thunderbolt, a light spot appeared in the clouds of calamity. A beam of light shot out from the light spot and shone straight into the deep pit created by the Dragon-Slaying Sword. In an instant, the sword body of the Dragon-Slayer, which was covered with cracks, floated up slowly in the beam of light. As it rose higher and higher, the cracks on the sword body began to heal slowly, restoring its original appearance when Lei Hao first forged it. Moreover, a fascinating and rounded glow emanated from it, and there were also some slight changes on the sword body.

  The unconscious Lei Hao on the mountain top also floated up with it, drifting into the light column. In the light column, he began to become transparent, and the dark wounds accumulated from years of battle on his body disappeared one by one. After a while, the light column slowly shrank, and the calamity clouds in the sky also began to disperse. The warm sunlight once again shone on the top of Kan Yuan Mountain, but Lei Hao and Tulong were still floating in the air, not falling down. The other demons on the mountain top were at a loss, and when Lei Da Niu and several Lei Wei brothers wanted to use their magical powers to bring Lei Hao and Tulong down, Sun Wukong stopped them. At this time, Sun Wukong's wide-open eyes stared at Lei Hao, with an expression of not daring to believe. In his divine consciousness, Lei Hao's Tianxian (Heavenly Immortal) pressure seemed to be expanding, but after just a few breaths, it was already comparable to the pressure of a mid-term Tianxian realm, and after another few breaths, it would be equivalent to the pressure of a late-stage Tianxian realm. After a stick of incense, Lei Hao's body suddenly retracted its pressure, and the floating Lei Hao became extremely ordinary. But Sun Wukong was stunned, "How can I, old Sun, not see through Niu's cultivation?"
