Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the jade bottle Bai Hua Fairy specifically sent to him, taking out one of the Saint-grade healing pills inside and swallowed.
This is the best medicine available to heal himself with.
As soon as the pill went in, it turned into a stream of warmth water that flowed straight to his stomach, then spreads all around his body.
The aching in his body disappeared, turned into a gentle warmth, even the acupoints stretched to their breaking limits were beginning to return to normal.
The boiling spirit energy in his Dantian was also made to calm down and stabilize.
His body healed very quickly.
In a few moments, the pain was replaced by an itchy, numb feeling.
Then, even that itchy feeling quickly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan’s wounds were barely flesh wounds now.
Since this medicine caught the eyes of and was specifically sent to Gu Qing Shan by Bai Hua Fairy, of course it wouldn’t be your average everyday pill.
Unfortunately, there weren’t too many, only two pills total.
Gu Qing Shan put away his airship again, this time stood in the air and silently watched over the battlefield.
He squinted his eyes, quickly glancing over and understood the situation completely.
Humanity’s attacks are powerful, enough to kill large groups of weak demons with a single attack.
But there are just too many demons.
With his own eyes, Gu Qing Shan saw a spell-using cultivator became out of breath, couldn’t retreat in time and was instantly swallowed up by the sea of demons.
The demons just kept rushing forward, no matter how many they killed there would still be more, enough to drive anyone to despair.
Why are there so many demons?
Gu Qing Shan looked further past the battlefield.
At the back of the demon army, the rain of fire was still pouring down without mercy, devastating the earth.
The rain was a calamity that couldn’t be resisted no matter what, the demons had no choice but to run for their lives towards the direction of the group of humans.
Which makes the human cultivators feel more and more pressure.
Is this kept on going, both their stamina and spirit energy will quickly be depleted without any way to replenish it quickly.
While the amount of demons that came here would only increase more and more as time passed.
The scale of victory was slowly tilting towards the demon’s side.
If this is allowed to go on, the human’s side will definitely lose.
Strange, why did the rain of fire just happened to move in that direction at this exact time?
Is it a coincidence, or is it being controlled by some mysterious force with ulterior motives?
After thinking for a while, Gu Qing Shan still couldn’t draw any conclusions.
This is completely unknown world that requires more investigation, more digging for him to arrive at the truth.
But now——-
He held the Earth Sword in hand, getting ready for battle.
The Earth Sword started to speak in its deep voice: 「 Do you still want to fight? Even if you have a high-level healing pill, your wounds still need a few days’ of rest to fully recover! 」
“I need to fight a bit more to get used to this realm, after I feel it’s enough, I’m breaking through to Rejuvenation realm” Gu Qing Shan answered.
The Earth Sword shook and said: 「 Breaking through to Rejuvenation… But according to the laws of the world, if a cultivator breakthrough consecutively and still attempted to breakthrough a realm, the Heaven’s Tribulation will become much fiercer than it’s supposed to be! 」
「 That type of Lightning Tribulation isn’t normal, even a Rejuvenation realm cultivator can’t guarantee that they’ll be able to endure it, with your wounds… 」
“Don’t worry, it’s only a Lightning Tribulation”
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan didn’t wait anymore and started descending.
In a few seconds, the golden light fell in the middle of the sea of demons again, massacring demons with reckless abandon.
If a powerful giant demon suddenly appeared to attack, the golden light would suddenly retaliate in full force.
A few seconds later, one or two dragons would be seen rampaging across the battlefield.
After the frenzied massacre.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the notification on the War God UI.
[You have gathered enough Soul Points, usage of cultivation scriptures to breakthrough cooldown period has ended]
Very good, he muttered.
…
On the other side.
The center of the battle field.
A Faceless Giant roared for the last time.
Its body turned ashen, then crumbled and dissipated.
This is the way that a Chaotic species dies.
Ning Yue Xi lifted her long Blade up, wiping the blood off her lips and asked: “How many are left?”
“The 3rd and 5th squad’s cultivators have all fallen, we have four squads left” Leng Tian Xing was bloodied all over, breathing heavily as he reported.
Right as they say that, a few more giant demons slowly came close.
Donk! Donk! Donk!
Their steps were heavy, each time they moved, even the ground trembled.
“Send out more Communication Talismans and order the next wave of reinforcements” Ning Yue Xi frowned as she said that.
Right now, even she was feeling a bit tired.
But as the current supreme commander here, her expression must not show it, otherwise it may negatively affect the troop’s morale.
Suddenly, the sky began to dim.
The cloud gathered as the wind screamed, focusing in this area.
The world instantly became dark.
Rumble, rumble!
The sound of thunder.
All the cultivators couldn’t help but look at where the clouds were gathering in shock.
Even the demons couldn’t keep up their overflowing rush anymore.
They were all looking at the sky, confused and unsure.
“This feeling… could it be, Heaven’s Tribulation?”
Ning Yue Xi loudly cursed: “What kind of crazy person faces a Tribulation on the battlefield? Are they afraid they won’t die fast enough!?”
There were demons and cultivators all over the battlefield.
If even a single cultivator enters the range of the Heaven’s Tribulation, it will automatically think the amount of people facing the Tribulation increased, making the power of the lightning even more terrifying.
And then there were demons literally everywhere on this battlefield, once they see an opening, they’ll directly ignore their own fears of the lightning to attack and interfere with the one facing the Tribulation.
Wanting to successfully break through under such complicated and dangerous situation is nothing short of daydreaming.
Which bastard went crazy and decided to breakthrough here of all places?
A flash of blue light descended from the sky and struck the ground.
Boom!
The intense shockwaves rang out.
Everyone was now able to pinpoint the Lightning Tribulation descending at the Southwest corner of the battlefield.
All the cultivators in that sector have already died, there should be nothing but an endless sea of demons there right now.
But now, the demons were screaming in fear, scattering, running away from that direction.
Lightning Element is dubbed as “Smiting”. Cultivators who has this sort of Element can greatly increase their damage against demons.
Lightning consists of two Laws, one of death and one of life, but no matter which it is, they’re both the natural enemy of demons.
And now, the demons are facing actual lightning from a Tribulation.
This is the most powerful kind of lightning.
All demons instinctively fear this devastating lightning from the bottom of their souls.
The Heaven’s Tribulation slowly began.
Streak after streak of lightning fell, striking the cultivator facing the Tribulation.
Gu Qing Shan was standing right in the middle of the Lightning Tribulation, striking away the first bolt of lightning.
Instead of scattering, the bolt broke apart as it flew into the sea of demons, killing a large amount of them.
「 You’re definitely going to die, in over 100,000 years, I’ve never seen a crazy cultivator such as you 」 the Earth Sword sighed heavily.
“There’s no path to live for those that aren’t crazy” Gu Qing Shan was basically soaked in demon’s blood and casually answered.
After using Soul Points to breakthrough consecutively to Golden Core late stage, he went into the sea of demons to kill more and more, finally negating the cooldown period for breaking through with Soul Points.
Now, he was attempting to breakthrough to Rejuvenation realm.
In a single battle, Gu Qing Shan was trying to go all the way from Golden Core early stage to Rejuvenation realm.
No wonder even the Earth Sword felt that it couldn’t be done.
The second bolt of lightning fell.
Gu Qing Shan once again swung his sword and struck the bolt of lightning at another group of demons.
Boom!
The lightning exploded, taking a large patch of demons away with it.
Before such lightning, any demons below Sainted realm can only give up and die.
This is a problem of their nature being unable to resist lightning.
Gu Qing Shan coughed up some more blood.
This time, it’s not his body, but rather his soul vessel that reached its limit and got wounded for not being able to take such a large leap in strength after consecutive breakthroughs.
