Chapter 75: Lei Wei Advances to Earth Immortal

  "Reporting to the two great kings, the envoy of the proud country has arrived." The single-horned ghost king knelt on both knees, bowing his waist respectfully and said to Lei Hao.

  Seated at the top of the throne with his eyes closed, Lei Hao's ears perked up, and he slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, two purple flashes of lightning flashed across the vast hall.

  A calm and powerful voice echoed within the hall.

  "Ah." The Unicorn Ghost King replied loudly, then got up and ran out of the Water Curtain Cave.

  After the departure of the Unicorn Ghost King, the hall returned to silence once again. Lei Hao closed his eyes lightly once more, and the flames danced across his face, looking mysterious and unfathomable.

  After a faint scent of incense, the heavy footsteps echoed again in the great hall. It was the Lonely Horned Ghost King leading a young Taoist priest dressed in scarlet robes into the hall.

  After entering the great hall, the Unicorn Ghost King once again heavily knelt to the ground and bowed his waist, saying: "Second Great King, the envoy from the Haughty Country has arrived."

  The young Taoist didn't dare to hesitate, also kneeling down on both knees, and after knocking his head loudly, he said respectfully: "Qingyan, the eighth generation disciple of the Lihuo Palace, greets the two great kings."

  Lei Hao raised his eyelids slightly, took a quick glance, and found that this little golden elixir realm Daoist actually made him feel somewhat familiar. Immediately, he probed out with interest, carefully scanning the young Daoist, only to discover that it was the fiery red power within the Daoist's body that made him feel somewhat intimate.

  After a moment of contemplation, Leihao asked casually: "What is your relationship with Kan Lidao?"

  Feeling Lei Hao's gaze, a few cold sweats quietly flashed across the cheeks of Qing Yan Daoist, but he didn't dare to wipe them away. He respectfully said to Lei Hao: "I report to Your Majesty, Kan Li Zhenren is the sixth disciple of Lihuo Palace and my master's uncle."

  Lei Hao listened and asked with no expression on his face, "Some years ago, I heard Kan Lidi mention that your Lihuo Palace lost people in these deep mountains and even asked me to help investigate. Do you have any results after all these years?"

  The Qingyan Taoist didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately replied: "In the past few years, our sect's young master was killed in Dongsheng Shenzhou. The leader was furious and searched through all the places the young master had been to before his death, but nothing was gained."

  Lei Hao nodded silently, thinking that the Taoist's mixed magical powers felt very familiar. He suspected that the unlucky guy who died at the hands of Zi Bat King was a disciple of Lihuo Palace. After some careful consideration, he realized that the unlucky guy was actually the young master of Lihuo Palace, and an official second-generation descendant to boot. No wonder he dared to venture into these deep mountains to "subdue demons and evil spirits" with only an inner elixir realm cultivation level, and even carried the precious treasure, the Six-Piece Lihuo Golden Immortal Manual.

  This cause and effect had been weighing on Leihao's mind for many years. At that time, the foundation of the Six Products Fire Gold Immortal Technique was unknown to Leihao, and it was also obtained very easily. Now, Leihao felt that he had been calculated by an unknown existence, and he was worried that this technique would become his biggest weakness. However, after learning that this technique was actually the technique of the Earth Boundary Orthodox Fire Palace, Leihao became fearless instead.

  What can he do with just a single spark from the fire palace?

  Lei Hao felt a great weight lifted off his mind, and the flow of Fa power within him became even smoother. His Fa power also became more refined and pure.

  "This king has summoned you this time, and it is to convey important matters to all the kingdoms of Dongsheng Divine State. In the next hundred years, all the kingdoms of Dongsheng Divine State must offer one million large livestock to Huaguo Mountain every year. As for how you do it, this king doesn't care, but if you fail to deliver enough livestock in a year, this king will lead his demonic army to destroy a country in Dongsheng Divine State, from the common people to the cultivators, all will be slaughtered by this king. And after this king receives enough livestock every year, he will make sure that Dongsheng Divine State is blessed with good weather and abundant harvests." Lei Hao said expressionlessly and calmly.

  But the Qingyan Taoist was immediately frightened, his whole body covered in cold sweat, and even though he was a high-ranking cultivator, he knew that offering one million large livestock to the Eastern Shengshen State every year was a heavy burden. He didn't dare refuse, but who knows if this crazy demon would kill him on the spot? He could only knock his head loudly several times and beg: "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and reduce the number, offering one million large livestock every year is something that even all the kingdoms of Eastern Shengshen State combined cannot afford."

  The Qingyan Taoist was also helpless, the life and death of the common people, the rise and fall of the kingdom had nothing to do with him. However, if he were to bring back such news to the Ao Lai Kingdom, he would definitely be killed by the angry monks of other sects to vent their anger. The Li Huo Palace wouldn't take the risk for an eighth-generation disciple who was more likely to cause trouble than achieve anything.

  So even though he knew it was easy to anger Lei Hao, Qing Yan's Taoist priest still plucked up the courage to beg him.

  Lei Hao hesitated for a few breaths, then hardened his heart and said: "No room for discussion, you can withdraw." After finishing speaking, he gently closed his eyes. He had no choice but to do so; if he couldn't guarantee an adequate supply of blood food, all his subsequent plans would be in vain.

  Lei Hao spoke out as soon as he saw him. The one-horned ogre king on the side pulled Qing Yan Daoist and strode out of the Water Curtain Cave.

  At this moment, in the cave of Kanyuanshan, a mysterious aura suddenly emerged from the closed door of the Leiyafang, which had been closed for a long time. This aura quickly spread throughout Kanyuanshan. It was as if a battle horn had been sounded, and almost simultaneously, two equally mysterious auras burst out of the doors of Lei Dabao and Lei Datiger's rooms. Later, one after another, auras emerged from the closed doors of other brothers who were also in seclusion.

  A thick and profound aura rapidly spread throughout the entire Kunyuan Mountain, then slowly dispersed in all directions. In the sky above Kunyuan Mountain, a vast expanse of dark clouds soon appeared, covering almost the entire mountain range. Bolts of lightning flashed incessantly within the dark clouds.

  Lei Hao, who was sitting in the Water Curtain Cave, suddenly felt a severe palpitation and immediately raised his hand to cast a spell. After a brief moment, Lei Hao's face changed drastically as he transformed into a purple light and shot out of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, rushing straight towards Canyuan Mountain.

  After a few breaths, Lei Hao's figure appeared at the foot of Kan Yuan Mountain. He raised his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky above Kan Yuan Mountain, which covered an area of hundreds of miles, and his face was gloomy as if it were about to drip water.

  Then a purple light flashed, leaving behind a residual shadow before quickly rushing into the Water Organ Cave. Without even greeting the tearless guard at the entrance, he swept his divine sense and with a wave of his large sleeve, all the Lei Wei brothers who were in closed-door meditation inside the cave were brought before him by Lei Hao.

  "Head." Lei Dainiu, who had just broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, suddenly saw Lei Hao and excitedly rushed over to greet him.

  But at this time, Lei Hao, who had a gloomy face, didn't have the time to chat with Lei Da Niu. With his hands moving extremely fast, he pinched several hand seals, and a white cloud suddenly appeared, enveloping Lei Hao and all the Lei Wei brothers in front of him, and they floated out of the Water Tomb Cave in a majestic manner.

  "You have all advanced to the Earth Immortal realm and need to pass the Earth Immortal Tribulation. Since you all advanced at the same location, your tribulations will also descend almost simultaneously. On the way, Lei Hao briefly explained the reason."

  Lei Daniu, Lei Datiger, and Lei Lieya among others almost simultaneously turned pale, lifted their heads, and looked up at the dark cloud that was following them with a look of horror on their faces.

  "What's good about this?" Le Daniu asked Lei Hao in a flustered and bewildered manner.

  Lei Hao said in a deep voice: "You are all my brothers, so this disaster that you can't withstand, I will naturally take it on myself."

  All the brothers were silent, looking at Lei Hao with worried eyes.

  Soon, Lei Hao found a desolate island of about ten miles in radius on the East Sea. After landing the Lei Wei brothers on the island, he raised his hand and cast several spells, and a semi-circular shield of law appeared above the heads of the Lei Wei brothers.

  After doing all this, Lei Hao turned around and flew alone into the sky to meet this terrifying heavenly calamity.

  All the Lei Wei brothers looked at Lei Hao's back with red eyes, "I thought that breaking through the Earth Immortal realm would be able to help us, but I didn't expect that even after breaking through the Earth Immortal realm, we still need Brother Head to take the disaster for us..." Lei Da Niu tore his hair with both hands, feeling unbearable in his heart.

  The Heavenly Tribulation can be substituted, Lei Hao has long known that there are two methods to substitute the Heavenly Tribulation. One is like Sun Wukong substituting the Earthly Immortal Heavenly Tribulation for Lei Hao, this clever method can prevent the power of the Heavenly Tribulation from increasing. However, Lei Hao is not Sun Wukong and cannot imitate the aura of all the Lei brothers, so he can only use the second, more stupid method: brute force! Brute forcing the Heavenly Tribulation will increase its power tenfold.

  Thirty or so Lei brothers' tribulation of the heavenly calamity, increased tenfold, even if Lei Hao's current cultivation was at the Golden Immortal realm, even if Lei Hao himself had the attribute of thunder, it would still be overwhelming, and with one misstep, he would be reduced to nothing but ashes under this terrifying heavenly calamity.

  The higher Lei Hao flew, the stronger the pressure he felt. The kind of pressure that seemed like the whole world was moving to kill him made Lei Hao's heart tremble with fear, but he had no choice. All those below were his brothers, all were his kin in this world!

  After flying to the high altitude, Lei Hao saw with his naked eyes that in the midst of the dark clouds, there were water bucket-thick thunder serpents and thunder dragons swimming about ceaselessly, occasionally letting out a long hiss, while their violent pressure compressed the space in the high altitude into something like mercury.

  Lei Hao's pupils slowly shrunk to the size of a needle tip, and even the two fangs at the corners of his mouth stretched out uncontrollably beyond his lips. This heavenly calamity was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

  With a determined mind, Lei Hao summoned the dragon-slaying energy within his body. A loud sword cry instantly echoed through heaven and earth.

  "Come on." Lei Hao swung his sword and let out a long howl towards the sky.
