Chapter 1,167: The Thunder Tribulation Gate

s is revealed!The opening of the domain gates, while a grand event for the Celestial Domain, meant that the Heavenly Watchers, with their exalted status, naturally wouldn't be constantly fixated on th...Thousands of tribulation thunderbolts fell simultaneously. Even within the formation, the sound and dazzling golden light were felt by all spectators.

As for the thousand cultivators within the formation, their figures were instantly swallowed by the thunder.

And immediately afterward, eight figures flew out from the Thunderclap Formation and crashed onto the ground surrounding the plaza. Some fell directly into unconsciousness, while others spat blood from their mouths.

Looking at these eight people, the audience was immediately stunned into silence. Their shock had reached its peak.

Because these eight people, they couldn't even withstand the first tribulation thunder.

Although everyone knows that Lei Hao, who possesses a congenital thunder body, is very strong, not everyone who was able to break through the encirclement and emerge from the elimination round of millions of cultivators is weak.

But now, he can't even withstand Lei Hao's first bolt of lightning. This is something that makes it hard for everyone to believe and accept.

And among those cultivators who had already taken on the first tribulation thunder, most of them wore expressions of great difficulty. Only a few remained unchanged.

From this point, one can see the strength difference among these thousand cultivators.

Naturally, this shocked everyone and made them realize that the difficulty of this qualification match was not just beyond previous levels, but it was ridiculously difficult.

Even some perceptive individuals sensed something amiss.

Because in previous qualification matches, there has never been a case where someone was eliminated or injured right at the start of the first round.

After all, the participants in the qualification battle were all cultivators of Lei Jiutian. They had no grudges against each other nor any entanglement of interests. Therefore, even though the person in charge of the checkpoint would not show favoritism or cheat, they would at least show mercy and not go too hard on them.

But now, the nine tribulation thunders laid by Lei Hao are clearly without any mercy, using his full strength.

Although Lei Hao has always been arrogant and cold, he is not someone who is out of touch or unreasonable. Logically speaking, he absolutely should not have done something so offensive.

The only explanation is that Lei Hao was simply following orders, and the one who gave him the orders was naturally Lei Ji Tianzhu.

That is to say, it was Lei Ji Tianzhu himself who required Lei Hao to show no mercy in this first level and use all of his power.

And such a practice, the most direct consequence would be to cause a large number of cultivators to be eliminated!

Although some people had thought of this possibility, they couldn't understand why the Heavenly Master Lei Ji would do such a thing.

Even if they understood, they dared not voice any dissent.

Lei Hao coldly glanced at the eight people who were knocked out of formation, and said coldly: "Eliminated!"

As his words fell, an elder from afar waved his hand. Immediately, several disciples from the Righteous Path Thunder Realm rushed forward and quickly carried these eight people off the square.

This old man is Lei Xiao.

Clearly, his task was to be in charge of logistics for this qualification match.

"Boom!"

These eight people were just carried out of the square, and the second bolt of tribulation lightning had already roared down.

And the power of this tribulation lightning, compared to the first one, was naturally even stronger.

Besides, the time interval between the two lightning strikes was extremely tight, leaving many people with barely any time to recover their strength.

In a rush, I could only grit my teeth and take it hard. The result is self-evident!

This time, more figures were directly shaken out of the formation.

At this point, the audience had lost the mood to comment or discuss anything. Almost all of them fell silent, only waiting for the first batch of people to finish their challenge.

Although there were thousands of soldiers in the formation, because the heavenly tribulation fell extremely fast, in just a few dozen breaths' time, all five heavenly tribulations had already fallen.

And at this very moment, the thousand cultivators who were once in our ranks had dwindled to only over two hundred.

Nearly four out of five cultivators have already been eliminated at this first checkpoint.

This tribulation, truly became a tribulation that people could not pass!

And the remaining two hundred people, what awaited them were three trials that would only grow more difficult!

Looking at over two hundred people, Lei Hao's face remained emotionless as he said: "You can choose to continue enduring the remaining four tribulation thunders from me, but I advise you to consider your capabilities, after all, you still have three more trials to overcome!"

> After a moment of silence, over two hundred people chose to give up, with only less than fifty people opting to continue.

Because they still clearly remembered what Lei Hao had said before, if they performed exceptionally well during the trials, there was a possibility of becoming a disciple of Lei Jiutian.

The first batch of cultivators have completed the trials, and in the end, out of these thousand people, only one person successfully withstood the nine tribulation thunders!

This person is also a cultivator who successfully advanced through the Death Arena in the eastern region.

As Ginger Cloud had guessed beforehand, he not only didn't avoid them, but even accepted a few more thunderbolts than others.

"Not bad!" Lei Hao also nodded in approval, giving a two-word compliment to the person.

Naturally, this also made the person, although their face was pale to the extreme, reveal excitement on their countenance.

He believed that his performance was absolutely outstanding!

Next, cultivators from the four regions of South, Northwest, North, and Central began to enter the formation one after another, continuing to challenge this first tribulation.

However, after witnessing the performance of thousands of cultivators in the eastern region, most of these cultivators are now extremely nervous and under immense pressure.

After all the cultivators from the three major regions of southeast, west, and north completed the trials, only over 700 people finally passed the tribulation stage!

Among those who received the nine thunders, there were only five people in total. Of these five, the one who appeared most relaxed was Wei Heng from the Heavenly Dao Thunder Realm.

This was also within everyone's expectations, after all, Wei Heng was also almost the most favored by everyone, and it was highly likely that he would eventually enter the Zhengdao Leihai.

However, everyone's attention is now focused on the thousand cultivators who are about to enter the battle in the northern region.

Because Lei Bufan is right there!

Especially those who have never witnessed Lei Bufan's prowess, all want to see how this son of the Thunder Dao, who has been hidden by Lord Leijitian for many years, will perform in this tribulation.

Approaching the formation, Lei Bufan respectfully bowed to Lei Hao with his fist held high and said, “Please show mercy, senior brother!”

Even Lei Hao, who was usually cold and aloof, nodded at Lei Bufan, his voice softening considerably. “With your skill, Brother, there’s no need for me to hold back.”

With a slight smile, Lei Bufan strode confidently into the formation under the gaze of everyone.

Unlike most people who were tense, Lei Bufan still had a smile on his face. His expression was extremely calm and composed. This alone made everyone secretly nod in approval.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the bolts of lightning struck one after another.

And Lei Bufan did not disappoint everyone. After the five tribulation thunders ended, his figure remained motionless from beginning to end, and even the smile on his face never disappeared.

What could be a deadly lightning strike for others, feels like an itch to him; it poses no threat whatsoever.

Naturally, Lei Bufan also chose to continue enduring all nine tribulation thunders.

However, just as the eighth bolt of tribulation thunder fell, and before the ninth was about to strike, a long laugh suddenly erupted from Lei Bufan's mouth: "Senior brother, junior brother has offended!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, before anyone could react to what was happening, Lei Bufan suddenly opened his mouth wide and inhaled with all his might!

The ninth tribulation thunder hovering above his head suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, directly entering his mouth!
