At this moment, people did not need to guess as to what happened; all of them instinctively knew as to who killed Xu Liangzhi. Other than that person, Ning Cheng, with heaven-defying courage, who exterminated the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce recently, who else would dare to kill Xu Liangzhi?
Some of the people felt fortunate that they didn’t take the initiative to find trouble with Ning Cheng. Someone who even dared to kill the City Master Mansion’s Junior City Master, who else would dare to even think of making a move against him? If they had willingly come forward to find trouble with Ning Cheng, they might just end up heading the same way as the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce.
……
In the endless Void, Ning Cheng was still in a frantic hurry. After he killed Xu Liangzhi, he felt a lot more comfortable. However, he knew that Xu Kai, who managed to become the foremost person within the Rootless Black City, definitely would not be a pushover nor would he have reached that position in a fluke. Which faction among the Rootless Black City was not arrogant? How could it be easy to dominate all these factions?
Moreover, this Xu Kai had gone into seclusion for several hundred years; yet, the prestige of the Rootless Black City’s City Master Mansion had not dropped the slightest. From this single point alone, it showed that Xu Kai was quite strong.
Without a safe path, Ning Cheng found it even more difficult to traverse the Void by himself. The Void Blade Lights and the Void Turbulences, along with the occasional meteorites that would suddenly pop out without any rhyme or reason, made Ning Cheng feel very uncomfortable. In just a short day, his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds suffered several more injuries.
Feeling the path turning more dangerous as time passed by, Ning Cheng finally stopped. This definitely was not the right way to continue. Moreover, he also felt a perilous premonition that Xu Kai could find him at any time. This premonition came without any reason.
Ning Cheng found a Void Island and decided to temporarily make a stop there to see if there was anything wrong with him. At the same time, he also arranged several Killing Formations around him in case of any emergencies.
Even if Xu Kai was more powerful, he still was a cultivator in the Plundering Life Realm. He has not advanced from the Plundering Life Realm yet. Since he arranged these many Array Formations, who could affirm if he certainly would be able to kill the opposite party?
Just as Ning Cheng dropped a few dozen Array Flags, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Silhouettes of cyan coloured Lightning Arcs appeared within the range of his Spiritual Consciousness. Even within the Void, it shone brightly.
Was someone attempting to cross a tribulation? Soon Ning Cheng became sure; someone definitely was trying to pass a trial within the Void.
Those lightning arcs did not feel as dominant on the surface when compared to the time when Ning Cheng crossed his tribulations; however, Ning Cheng could sense that the intensity of this Thunder Tribulation definitely was a lot higher when compared to the Thunder Tribulation he faced when advancing to the Sea Opening Realm.
Ning Cheng, when comparing his own Thunder Tribulation to other person’s Thunder Tribulation, realised that this person’s Thunder Tribulation was a lot stronger than the Thunder Tribulations faced by any other cultivator on the same level as him. From this, he also inferred that since this person’s Thunder Tribulation was this powerful, then this Thunder Tribulation definitely was not for an ordinary advancement. Not even a Crucible Transformation Cultivator wouldn’t face this kind of a Thunder Tribulation when advancing to the Plundering Life Realm.
The thought of this Thunder Tribulation not belonging to a Crucible Transformation Cultivator advancing to the Plundering Life Realm caused Ning Cheng to feel a sharp surprise. If that were indeed the case, then wouldn’t it mean that this Thunder Tribulation was for someone attempting to advance from the Plundering Life Realm to a higher realm?
In this Void, the nearest place was the Rootless Black City. Within this area, who would even choose to cross their Thunder Tribulation, besides the Rootless Black City’s foremost person, Xu Kai?
Xu Kai appeared in this place, thinking of this Ning Cheng’s heart immediately sank. With the help of his Spiritual Consciousness, he could glean that the location of where that person was crossing his tribulation was only a maximum of one to two thousand miles away from him.
He killed Xu Liangzhi only a day ago. Even if Xu Kai was stronger, how was he able to find him in just a day? One had to know that he personally had to fly for a month from the Rootless Black City to the location of the Blue Essence Stone Mine.
However, that was not important; the most important point was about how Xu Kai came to know his location? Ning Cheng did not believe that Xu Kai had arrived here purely out of luck.
Ning Cheng’s expression turned solemn, he knew that there was no use for anxiety at this moment. Immediately scanning his own body with his Spiritual Consciousness several times, he finally found a vague Spiritual Consciousness Tag on his body.
Ning Cheng immediately understood; this Spiritual Consciousness Tag should have attached to him when he killed Xu Liangzhi. At that time, his thoughts mainly focused on escaping, which caused him to have not realised it.
At this moment, Ning Cheng turned even calmer. No matter how Xu Kai found out about it, no matter why Xu Kai was here to cross his tribulation, he had no choice but to come up with a solution to his predicament. If Xu Kai successfully passed his trial; at that point, even if he chose to run away with all his might, the only road in front of him would be death.
With this thought in mind, Ning Cheng immediately stripped off the Spiritual Consciousness Tag on his body before conjuring a clump of flames and completely obliterating the Spiritual Consciousness Tag.
While incinerating the Spiritual Consciousness Tag, Ning Cheng felt a powerful Spiritual Sense sweep over him, which allowed him to instantly realise that it belonged to Xu Kai. Xu Kai was in the midst of crossing his tribulation; however, he was also worried that Ning Cheng would end up escaping.
At this moment, an impulsive thought crept into Ning Cheng’s mind, that this would be the best time to make his escape. Since Xu Kai was in the midst of crossing his tribulation, there was no way that he could divert his attention to kill him. Once he escaped, and without Xu Kai’s Spiritual Consciousness Tag on him, that Xu Kai would not necessarily be able to overtake him.
However, Ning Cheng quickly dismissed the idea; not only did he reject the thought, his Spiritual Consciousness even extended towards the place where Xu Kai was attempting to cross his tribulation.
This allowed him to clarify one matter; Xu Kai wasn’t voluntarily trying to cross his tribulation. Most likely, Xu Kai was about to break through from the Plundering Life Realm and advance to a more powerful realm and was in the midst of searching for a place that would help him cross the tribulation when he learned about the death of his son, Xu Liangzhi, at Ning Cheng’s hands. When Xu Kai learned of this matter, he immediately rushed out here.
As a result, with his cultivation already at a critical point, and under the eruption of his True Essence, he did not have to actively initiate the descent of his tribulation; instead, the Thunder Tribulation itself came to find him on its own initiative. Otherwise, he would have never taken action to waste time in crossing the tribulation before killing Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng increasingly felt that his guess was correct. Just as his Spiritual Consciousness felt the furious and wild Thunder Tribulation Arcs descending, an excited expression immediately flashed through his eyes. At this time, he not only did Ning Cheng not chose to run away; instead, he actually shot towards Xu Kai.
Xu Kai felt incomparably depressed in his heart. He did not need any pills to aid him in advancement; the only reason he had gone into seclusion several hundred years ago was to finally come out and face the tribulation with a sturdy and robust foundation. However, Xu Kai never imagined that his son would end up dying at the hands of others at such a critical j
uncture. How could he endure such a matter?
Because of his overflowing anger, it made him ignore all the costs of killing Ning Cheng and then face his tribulation. Otherwise, if it ended up creating a Heart Devil, he might never be able to overcome it. However, his overflowing anger ended up unconsciously stimulating his True Essence. At once, his True Essence completely broke through the shackles he had placed on it, which immediately attracted the descent of the Thunder Tribulation.
When the Thunder Tribulation, Xu Kai did not worry much about it because he believed that he could get through the Thunder Tribulation. Even if Ning Cheng managed to take this chance to escape, after crossing the Thunder Tribulation, he could still kill that person because of his Spiritual Consciousness Tag. However, Xu Kai had never imagined that just as this Thunder Tribulation descended, Ning Cheng would also end up finding his Spiritual Consciousness Tag. Not only did he locate it, he even managed to peel it off.
This made Xu Kai incomparably anxious. If Ning Cheng chose to escape now, then once outside of his Spiritual Consciousness range, it would prove difficult to locate this person.
However, what he found even more inconceivable was the stupidity shown by Ning Cheng after he purged the Spiritual Consciousness Tag. Not only did he not flee, but he also made his way towards him.
Xu Kai sneered in his heart. This person indeed was quite arrogant. Since he was currently in the midst of facing his tribulation, even if he did not do anything, as long as Ning Cheng came within the range of the descending Thunder Tribulation, he would end up in ashes.
Facing a Thunder Tribulation relating to the advancement of a cultivator at the Great Circle of the Plundering Life Realm, how could the opposite party, just a puny cultivator at the Sea Opening Realm, dare to approach? Xu Kai couldn’t help but think if this person honestly did not know the immensity of the heavens.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel his son’s worthlessness, to end up dead at the hands of such a person.
“You’re that Xu Kai, that Junior City Master Xu Liangzhi’s cheap old man? Are you here to kill me?” Ning Cheng stood not far away from Xu Kai and watched Xu Kai try to resist the wave after wave of the descending Thunder Tribulation. Even his tone remained calm as if he was chatting with a friend.
Xu Kai looked much older compared to Xu Liangzhi, with long fluttering hair; however, similar to Xu Liangzhi, he had the same natural and unrestrained quality to him.
“Little beast, did you really think that this father would not be able to do anything to you just because of the descending tribulation? Die for me.” Xu Kai suddenly moved towards Ning Cheng, who was not far away, while he simultaneously raised his hand to grab Ning Cheng.

However, before he could even catch Ning Cheng, a bunch of Lightning Arcs shot towards Ning Cheng.
Any life that meandered in during the descent of Thunder Tribulation, as long as it arrived within its range, the Thunder Tribulation would strike it down to death without mercy. This was equivalent to challenging the dignity of the Thunder Tribulation. Since Ning Cheng stood under the scope of the descending Thunder Tribulation, it would also strike him down without exception.
Ning Cheng immediately brought out his Everlasting Blue Thunder City; even the Nirvana Spear appeared in his hands. At the same time he coldly spoke out a few words, “Xu Kai, you should care about yourself, idiot.”
Since he dared to come here, he naturally did not feel much fear towards the Thunder Tribulation Arcs. Therefore, when he started, despite seeing the Lightning Arcs shooting towards him, he did not feel too flustered about it.
Xu Kai’s hand paused slightly. He did not expect that Ning Cheng not only dared to attack him in such a situation, not even about the Lightning Arc shooting towards him. Did this fellow not fear death? These were Tribulation Thunder Arcs originating from a cultivator trying to cross the tribulation at the Great Circle of the Plundering Life Realm; how could a cultivator in the Sea Opening Realm not care about it?
“Boom-Boom-Boom….” Several Lightning Arcs struck the Everlasting Blue Thunder City and Ning Cheng; at the same time, several more Lightning Arcs descended onto Xu Kai’s body.
“Bang-Bang, Ka-Ka…..” Several explosive and rupturing sounds erupted; Ning Cheng’s robes also turned into rags while flesh and blood exploded out under the residual impacts from the Lightning Arcs.
However, when the Lightning Arcs descended onto the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, they all disappeared without a trace.
However, what made Xu Kai stunned, with his mouth agape, was that although Ning Cheng looked bruised and lacerated, he actually did not look much affected at all. In fact, Ning Cheng behaved as if he did not care about it. Not just that, he even felt that Ning Cheng’s strength had risen.
However, the Lightning Arcs descending over him prevented him from continuing to observe. The Lightning Arcs he had to face were a lot denser compared to the Lightning Arcs shooting towards Ning Cheng.
As several more Lightning Arcs descended, Xu Kai’s armour exploded into green smoke that scattered in four directions. Even the shield protecting him gave off ‘Ka-Ka’ sounds, while copious amounts of blood mist erupted from his body. The Lightning Arcs would not allow anyone to pass, even if one’s cultivation were even higher, one could only rely on one’s self to trudge through the adversity and pain.
However, this was not the end of it. While these Lightning Arcs descended, Ning Cheng’s Nirvana Spear also shot out and unexpectedly helped the descending Tribulation Thunder Arcs in dealing with Xu Kai.
The powerful killing intent radiating out from the Nirvana Spear caused even the Void Blade Lights and meteorites streaking around in the Void around their periphery to split apart in the face of Ning Cheng’s powerful Spear Intent.
“Such formidable spear intent…..” Xu Kai had already withdrawn his hand shooting towards Ning Cheng and brought out a pair of Heaven Terminating Dual Needles.
The Heaven Terminating Dual Needles shot out two white lights that quickly entwined around Ning Cheng’s Spear Intent. Ning Cheng’s originally boundless Spear Intent, entwined by the two white lights rapidly turned weak before it started to fade away. In just a few breaths, this Spear Intent disappeared without even a trace left behind.
Ning Cheng felt shocked in his heart at this sight, he knew exactly how powerful his own Spear Intent was, yet Xu Kai dealt with his Spear Intent in such a simple manner, which immediately put him at a disadvantage. What was even more frightening was that because he inserted himself within the range of this descending Thunder Tribulation, it did not increase the danger towards Xu Kai. On the contrary, the injuries suffered by Xu Kai under this descending Thunder Tribulation actually reduced because of his involvement. He ended up helping Xu Kai in sharing the might the descending Thunder Tribulation; moreover, with this help, Xu Kai also would not need to draw support from the Thunder Tribulation to kill him.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng immediately made a quick retreat.
“Little beast, did you think that you could actually walk away from this place alive?” When the third wave of the Thunder Tribulation Arcs descended, Xu Kai not only chose to ignore this descending Thunder Tribulation, even his Heaven Termination Dual Needles transformed into a seemingly boundless ocean of white light. The killing power within it was like the wind and waves of a ferocious storm that lashed out at Ning Cheng. Even if Ning Cheng had not inserted himself into the situation, the descending Thunder Tribulation did not pose much threat towards him. However, now that Ning Cheng shared a portion of the descending Thunder Tribulation Arcs, Xu Kai definitely had a lesser share of Lightning Arcs to face.
A fierce glint flashed through Ning Cheng’s eyes, he knew that if
he did not find a way to cope up with the Thunder Tribulation, he would definitely die today. He had never imagined that Xu Kai would turn out this strong. Even if he used his False Domain, in the face of Xu Kai’s imposing momentum, it would not be of much use at all.
On the contrary, under Xu Kai’s imposing momentum, he would be the one to end up suppressed systematically. Initially, he had intended to absorb the descending Lightning Arcs using the Everlasting Blue Thunder City and then try using the Everlasting Blue Thunder City to erupt with even more Lightning Arcs, which he could then use to attack Xu Kai in tandem with the descending Thunder Tribulation. However, after gauging Xu Kai’s strength, Ning Cheng immediately gave up the idea.
His Nirvana Spear once again rumbled forth; however, this time he did not shoot towards Xu Kai. Instead, he used it to pull headfirst into the descending Tribulation Thunder Arcs.
Every Thunder Tribulation possessed a spirit, this Ning Cheng already knew about. When he faced his tribulations, he knew that the angrier the Thunder Tribulation became, the more powerful would the descending Thunder Tribulation be.
“You’re looking for death…..” Xu Kai immediately understood Ning Cheng’s idea. Under his monstrous anger, the murderous aura contained within the Heaven Terminating Dual Needles’ white ripple-ly waves became even more violent.
Since Ning Cheng could survive under his Thunder Tribulation for so long, he realised that it should be because of Ning Cheng possessing a Thunder Spiritual Root; at the same time, there was also that strange shadow of the Thunder City. That shadow of the Thunder City, he had already regarded as his own thing.
Ning Cheng turned indifferent towards the berserk fury of the Heaven Terminating Dual Needles’ waves; he gathered his True Essence and unleashed crazy attacks over the descending Thunder Tribulation Arcs. Despite the furious ripple-like assaults from the Heaven Terminating Dual Needles directed at him, which were more than sufficient to claim his life, he still dared to attack the descending Thunder Tribulation Arcs.
