Ye Xuan had finished setting up a protective spot then he sat down cross-legged and released his suppressed cultivation.

He opened his meridians and his energy core in the dantian started spinning at a high speed.

As it spun, it absorbed the spiritual energy in the surroundings and also the death energy trapped in the zombie bodies piling up around the building to reach him.

He was absorbing energy so fast and purifying it by circulating it several times before turning it into spiritual energy for his own use.

The zombies below were turning to dust at a fast speed, yet, he didn’t rush to collect the crystal cores.

They could wait until he was done advancing.

As more and more zombies disintegrated, the zombie generals hiding within buildings began to panic.

’What was that human doing? He didn’t attack, yet the zombie soldiers were dying so fast that there was already a large circle of ash surrounding the building he was on.

Moreover, that circle was extending outward. If more of the zombies died, what would they tell the king?

Just as they were fretting over how to handle the situation, the sky above City S changed.

It became darker as black clouds began gathering in the sky.

Most were concentrated above the building that human was on.

Was the heavens going to eliminate him and save more zombies?

It must be said that even zombies who had developed intelligence and recovered human knowledge had overactive imagination.

And it was this active imagination that got them all killed.

Even though they weren’t recognized as living beings, the heavenly dao recognized them as a form of life since they could absorb energy and become stronger.

They were similar to cultivators. Hence, once the tribulation clouds formed, they locked into any being within the vicinity of the one facing the tribulation.

Since the zombies were packed together inside the city, the cloud ended up covering the entire S City.

One had to say that the rules of heavenly dao were indeed a bit unreasonable.

But it was this unreasonableness that cultivators take advantage of to eliminate their enemies cleanly without lifting a finger.

Today, Ye Xuan was doing the same.

He would advance, and take care of tens of millions of zombies at the same time.

The only downside of this strategy was that the lightning tribulation became more fierce.

But as a lightning ability user, Ye Xuan was planning to absorb part of the lightning to strengthen his physical body and temper his ability.

After absorbing lightning a few times, he had noticed that everytime he did it, his lightning strikes became more lethal.

They could even surpass some cultivators who awaken the rare lightning spirit root.

So, he was planning on using the lightning tribulation he faces to further purify and strengthen his ability.

If his energy core holding his ability is purer, the energy stored will also be more pure and abundant.

If he advanced past the ninth level, he would be equivalent to a cultivator at the tribulation transcendent stage.

And he believed that the tenth level was definitely not the end for ability users.

There must be ways to break that limit barrier.

Once he does, he would be equivalent to two cultivators by himself.

As he would have the spiritual energy of a cultivator, and his superpower as a fallback plan.

He planned to keep it hidden when he left the lower realm.

He could train his superpower when no one was around or inside the Soul Ring.

But now, he had to breakthrough to the divine transformation first.

As this thought passed his mind, the first bolt of lightning descended.

Because of the many zombies in the city, many bolts of lightning descended, striking not just the main target, but also thousands of zombies at once.

The lower tier ones turned to dust with one strike while the stronger ones had charred bodies.

The intelligent zombies realized the danger and attempted to command the zombie army to leave the city and retreat to another place.

Even they started moving. Yet, since the tribulation had already begun, they couldn’t go anywhere.

The tribulation cloud had marked them and it followed them wherever they went relentlessly.

Those fleeing were the first to be struck down as the heavenly dao seemed to think that it was being challenged by these creatures.

Causing the intensity of the lightning to increase.

CRACK!

CRACK!

CRACK!!!

Lightning bolts fell from the sky as if they were free.

Moreover, because it started to concentrate more on the fleeing zombies, the intensity around where Ye Xuan was had reduced, making it easier to handle and absorb.

If it was striking like usual when someone advanced to the divine transformation, the lightning strikes would be so strong that he would be barely holding on even with his strength.

Thus, he was grateful for those zombies.

This way, the lightning bolts he absorbed became more and they also gave him time to adjust his body as he absorbed and faced the tribulation.

Two hours later, there was not a single zombie left in City S. Even the high-level ones had turned to ashes.

Those hiding in buildings weren’t spared either. The buildings were struck down and destroyed before the zombies were struck to death.

This was simply a clean up operation. And the best part was Ye Xuan didn’t need to lift a finger.

Once he had been struck by seventy-two bolts of lightning, his advancement was complete and light golden rain fell within ten meters around him.

As the rain was starting to fall, he took out his contract beasts, the black tortoise, which had been hiding in the contract space and had it absorb the blessed rain together.

The rain was filled with spiritual energy that stabilized his new cultivation and healed all his wounds.

The Black tortoise also advanced and it’s strength increased as well.

Even though it was still a far cry from its formidable strength when its master was the ruler of the Immortal Realm, it was still better than nothing.

Luckily, its master was getting stronger faster in this life. Once they entered the Immortal Realm, with the resources there, he would advance even faster.
