"What's going on there?"

"Look, there's a silhouette chasing a cloud in the sky."

"What cloud, that's a Tribulation Lightning, can't you see?"

"What? Tribulation Lightning? Someone's chasing Tribulation Lightning? Are they crazy?"

"What kind of person is this? Must be a dignitary of the prestigious race?"

...

Zhang Menglong chased the Tribulation Lightning across the skies of core areas of at least a hundred Demon Beast Dynasties, earning awe wherever he passed.

[Congratulations to the Dean for earning 500 Cred Points.]

[Congratulations to the Dean for earning 1300 Cred Points.]

[Congratulations to the Dean for earning 200 Cred Points.]

...

Throughout the history of the Haotian Continent, Tribulation Lightning is something people avoid at all costs, and such a scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.

It's not that Zhang Menglong insisted on chasing it, but the laws of this world dictate that if the Tribulation Lightning doesn't fall, even if he breaks through and his Mystic Qi realm elevates to the Heaven-breaking Realm, the increase would only be average.

With Zhang Menglong's proud nature, how could he allow himself to be ordinary?

Finally, the Tribulation Lightning could not withstand Zhang Menglong's pursuit any longer. Exhausted, it relents, delivering a Tribulation Thunderstorm of unprecedented magnitude to him since he seemingly enjoyed getting struck.

"Wuhu, finally stopped." Zhang Menglong looked satisfied at the Tribulation Lightning.

But the World Force, in its fury, had lost reason. Even if it meant sacrificing its consciousness by getting shattered, today it had to go down with this damned human!

In an instant, the thundercloud sprawled over thousands of miles, the entire sky covered in dense dark clouds; even the electric charge in the air could easily char a common martial artist of the Heaven-breaking Realm.

"Look, Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning!"

"Oh my god, the area that Tribulation Lightning covers, what powerful being is breaking through?"

"Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning, the last time it appeared on Haotian Continent was thousands of years ago, right?"

"No, I've heard from a dignitary of the core region that there were nine appearances of Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning in a valley just a few days ago, but the terrifying power of the lightning kept people from venturing in."

"Demon Beast Dynasty...no, the entire Haotian Continent is about to undergo a major change!"

Such a massive thundercloud, a hundred times larger than when the Nine Great Demon Saints broke through, did not instill fear in Zhang Menglong, but instead made him more excited, his expression twisted so much that even true perverts would second guess who the real pervert was.

"Human, since you want it so badly, I'll give you a Tribulation Lightning!"

A voice echoed in Zhang Menglong's ear.

Hundreds of Seven-Colored Thunder Dragons, as if heralding doomsday, charged towards Zhang Menglong.

"Thunder God Physique!"

Zhang Menglong's body sparkled amid the thunderclouds; the ultimate Thunder God far surpasses this medium realm, as Thunder God controls the deities of thunder and lightning!

"Menglong is starting his breakthrough!"

"Let's go, we'll safeguard the borders for him, don't let anyone disturb his breakthrough!"

The nine Demon Saints acted like Zhang Menglong's guardians, providing support.

Earlier, in that energy-isolating valley, the momentum of all Tribulation Lightning was not particularly grand, but now, this Tribulation Lightning had captured the entire Demon Beast Dynasty's attention!

Especially the powerful dignitaries of the core race, a person able to cause a Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning must be a formidable being, and if successful, their position would definitely be threatened.

Even if the chance for success was negligible, they had to see with their own eyes to be assured!

The Clan Leader of the Earth-shaking Divine Ox Tribe, along with several peak Demon Saints, was the first to arrive at the area covered by the Tribulation Lightning, only to find Liman, who was supposed to guard the Divine Tree, from their tribe.

"Liman? What are you doing here?" Clan Leader Xing Lie questioned, "Shouldn't you be dutifully watching over the Divine Tree, or do you want to face clan rule punishment?"

"Oh, Clan Leader, long time no see," Liman had long since lost reverence for his Clan Leader, as he could now clearly sense how much weaker the leader's power was compared to his own.

"I'm asking why you're here!"

"Are you instructing me on what to do?" Liman replied bluntly, "Someone here is busy, could you please step aside?"

"Liman, are you crazy? How dare you speak to the Clan Leader like that?" A peak Demon Saint immediately rebuked.

"Who do you think you are, speaking to me that way?" Liman casually said, "My brother is in the midst of a breakthrough, and we don't want any interruption. I suggest you stand back."

"Liman, I see I was too lenient punishing you to guard the Divine Tree; this time, no matter how your father pleads, I won't easily forgive you!" Xing Lie's dignity was challenged, losing face instantly.

"Bringing up my father, are you? I was about to question you. My father supported you in becoming the Clan Leader, and when he merely offered sensible management advice, you stripped his Elder title, and you have the gall to mention my father?"

"Hahaha, Liman, I've long known your father and you were dissatisfied with my leadership; since everything's in the open today, I'll root out the problem!" Xing Lie stomped the ground, now imbued with divine power, his pinnacle Demon Saint strength causing tremors.

"If you had quietly remained in the Holy Land, you might've enjoyed a longer tenure as Clan Leader; since you've come forth by yourself, today's the day we change the Clan Leader of the Earth-shaking Divine Ox Tribe!"

"Defying orders, today in the name of the Clan Leader, I sentence you to death!"

A golden energy pillar appeared between heaven and earth, crashing towards Liman with great force.

"Is this it?" Liman mocked with a smirk, raised his hand, and astonishingly stopped the formidable strike barehanded.

"How can this be?" Xing Lie was shocked; he was at the pinnacle of Demon Saints, and Liman was formerly just an esteemed high-grade Demon Saint.

"No, he's a Demon Saint too!"

Xing Lie realized this too late, as Liman effortlessly crumbled the golden pillar with one palm strike.

"Mighty God's Technique!"

Liman executed the Mighty God's Technique, his form imbued with divine power, morphing him nearly into a boundless War God.

He steadily walked forward, effortlessly crushing all of Xing Lie's attacks with his bare hands. Xing Lie, the Clan Leader of the Earth-shaking Divine Ox Tribe, a peak Demon Saint, was powerless against his former subordinate!

Liman, with a simple, naive smile, deliver an unembellished punch forward.

The air space shattered, ripples of time and space imbued with endless might crashed into Xing Lie.

Instantly, Xing Lie's body was shattered, torn into a cloud of blood mist.

The Clan Leader of the Earth-shaking Divine Ox Tribe had fallen!

The remaining two Demon Saints were beyond words in shock; Liman, who had been in that godforsaken place for centuries, had grown to such strength!

"You... you dare kill the Clan Leader?"

"Is that so?" Liman laughed, "In your hearts, do you still see him as the Clan Leader?"

Liman clenched his fist, "I'll give you another chance!"

The two exchanged glances, understanding the meaning behind Liman's words.

They promptly kneeled, "Hail the new Clan Leader!"

...

Simultaneously, other tribe leaders arrived with their entourages.

But in front of them were people once assigned to guard the Divine Tree by their race.

"Oh my, isn't this the old Clan Leader? Ever thought about early retirement?"

"Wanna pass by? Beg me!"

"Old bastard, meet your death!"

"What? You want to punish me? Speak up, I can't hear you."

"You bunch, all together now!"

...
