Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1994 - 1466: Consideration
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
The might of this Tribulation Thunder wasn't weak at all, yet it failed to damage the Formation whatsoever, creating scarcely any disturbance; as a result, Jiang Fengwu effortlessly overcame the second Tribulation Thunder.
Perhaps sensing that the initial two Tribulation Thunders inflicted no damage on her, the third one hung suspended overhead, delaying its descent, while it relentlessly gathered Spiritual Energy from the tribulation clouds to amplify its strength.
Still, this pause granted her an opportunity to restore her energy. Despite the Thunder Tribulation being only in its opening phase, she promptly pulled out a Pill, consumed and processed it without delay, aiming to stay in optimal shape every single moment!
Moments later, a Tribulation Thunder several meters thick thundered downward with a deafening roar, hurtling toward Jiang Fengwu at astonishing velocity.
Right then, the Great Array she'd arranged burst into brilliant golden radiance. Ultimately, it shaped into a huge golden sword enveloped in lightning, which surged forward to clash directly with the descending Tribulation Thunder.
Boom—
Upon impact, the pair exploded in a colossal shockwave. Luckily, the clan members stood at a safe distance, and several Earth Immortals intervened swiftly to shield against the fallout, safeguarding the clan from any injury.
That said, post-collision, the Tribulation Thunder's power emerged as the stronger force, with leftover lightning still striking toward Jiang Fengwu.
The Formation that unleashed the Thunder Golden Sword broke apart after scarcely enduring the residual bolts of thunder.
Jiang Fengwu couldn't avoid knitting her brow. She realized the Great Array she'd meticulously crafted had demanded countless rare Spiritual Objects, but it had merely managed to fend off two Tribulation Thunders.
This left her anxious about whether the two leftover Formations she possessed could endure the intensifying power of the remaining six Tribulation Thunders.
Truthfully, the instant the Formation crumbled, she regretted deploying it too soon; holding it back for a later stage would have offered her much greater advantages.
Furthermore, if she'd anticipated this, she would have prepared additional Formations. In the end, she'd simply misjudged the Thunder Tribulation's ferocity.
But quickly, Jiang Fengwu banished those distracting ideas. This was the critical time to focus her full power against the Tribulation Thunder—how could she let her resolve falter now?
Instead of dwelling on stray thoughts, she chose to use the interval to replenish her Mana!
At the same time, Li Zhirui emerged from the Cave Mansion.
Actually, he'd detected the turmoil outside the moment the Thunder Tribulation started forming, but unfortunately, he was busy refining a set of Heavenly Immortal Rank Pills. With all the needed Spiritual Objects being incredibly valuable—even he couldn't afford to squander them—he had to complete the refining process before turning his attention outward.
Besides, even if he exited, his assistance would be minimal; he'd only manage to observe from a distance.
It was merely after finishing the five Pills successfully that he rushed out, skipping any cleanup of the Pill Furnace.
The second Li Zhirui appeared outside, he stared toward the distant tribulation clouds; his brows furrowed instinctively, and his face turned profoundly somber.
Indeed, the intensity and extent of this Thunder Tribulation had swelled to even more terrifying levels than earlier!
"Why must the Heavenly Dao behave this way?!"
No matter how he pondered it, he couldn't grasp why the Heavenly Dao would proceed like this. What goal could it possibly achieve? It couldn't just be to limit the count of Heavenly Immortals, right!?
While the chance of conflict between two realms igniting remained low, it wasn't out of the question. Hadn't the Primal Spirit Realm faced such an event before—and that very war propelled the Primal Spirit Realm's advancement.
Curbing Heavenly Immortals did ease some pressure on the world, but should a catastrophic two-realm war erupt, how would the Primal Spirit Realm defend itself?
Deep in contemplation with a furrowed brow, he found no advantages in this approach beyond easing world pressure, regardless of the angles he examined.
"Never mind, never mind, I'll depart soon anyway. Whatever fate awaits the Primal Spirit Realm ahead, I won't be there to see it." Li Zhirui let out a resigned sigh.
A Heavenly Immortal's strength is truly awe-inspiring, but against a world—particularly a Great Thousand World—it amounts to nothing.
Concerning the clan's future state, he could neither foresee nor influence it by then.
Plus, the dire scenario he dreaded might never come to pass.
Once his thoughts settled after the mental whirlwind, he finally directed his focus to watching Jiang Fengwu's Tribulation Transcendence.
When Li Zhirui reached the scene, she was already confronting the fifth Tribulation Thunder.
Even with two more potent Formations available, Jiang Fengwu refrained from using them yet; rather, she intended to resist using her personal Divine Ability Spells.
Layer upon layer of Great Arrays materialized over her via the Void Array technique, and it was only after breaching every one that the Tribulation Thunder depleted its energy, grudgingly scattering in the air.
However, such methods exacted a heavy toll on her Mana reserves.
Merely after repelling two Tribulation Thunders this way, half of her inner Mana had been exhausted.
There was little choice. Unlike standard Formations, the Void Array approach depended solely on her Mana to mimic Spiritual Objects, leading to predictably enormous expenditure.
Thankfully, the Pills from Li Zhirui were superior elixirs: they not only replenished Mana rapidly but were mild, inflicting much less strain on the meridians than typical Pills even when swallowed raw.
Yet the Thunder Tribulation appeared to detect Jiang Fengwu's vulnerability and denied her any respite, immediately launching the sixth Tribulation Thunder without mercy.
Unlike the previous Tribulation Thunders that emphasized raw power, this one prioritized speed; in a flash, it tore through successive spatial layers and loomed over her.
"Damn!"
This Tribulation Thunder completely surprised her. With no alternative, Jiang Fengwu had to trigger the second Formation.
