Chapter Twenty-Four: The Horror of the Tribulation

At this time, a "Amitabha" sounded in the air, the sound was not too loud, but it clearly penetrated everyone's ears, it was Xu Jingyi's voice. This is followed by the sound of the Heart Sutra being recited.

With the sound of chanting, the speed of the aura converging towards the snow-capped mountain gradually accelerated, and a dark cloud slowly condensed and formed on the top of the snow-capped mountain in the distance, and continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The black clouds soon obscured the sun in the west, and the top of the mountain where everyone was located instantly fell into darkness, and the black clouds on the top of the snow-capped mountain in the distance were illuminated by the sun, and there seemed to be a circle of gold edges around it. The black clouds are still expanding, and the surrounding Phnom Penh is getting lighter and lighter. And from the inside of the black cloud, a trace of electric light slowly came out, and the faint thunder gradually sounded.

The black cloud as a whole is flattened and spherical, giving people an extremely depressed feeling, and the angry Tianwei makes the onlookers feel so small that they can hardly face this scene like the end of the world, only the sound of chanting in the distance is still calm and serene.

The text is not long, and soon comes to a close, when the famous and terrifying mantra of Prajnaparamita sounds: "...... That is, the mantra is said: Expose the slander of the Para and expose the Parachu Expose the slander of the Bodhisattva Bha".

The last eighteen syllable spells, like sledgehammers, bombarded the clouds above Xu Jingyi's head.

Under the bombardment of this catastrophic cloud, it made a significant vibration, as if it was enraged, and its volume instantly expanded in a circle, and then it retracted inward, and a thick lightning bolt meandered down from the clouds like a giant python, hitting the top of the snow-capped mountain.

At this moment, everything around seemed to be gone, except for a figure on the top of the mountain illuminated by the violent lightning. The figure seemed to be magnified, and it was clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.

The figure had long flowing hair, dressed in white, sitting in the air three feet above the ground, the thumb of his left hand and his ring finger interlocked, pinching a handprint, standing on his chest, the five fingers of his right hand stretched out, the palm of his hand facing the sky, supporting his abdomen, his expression was quiet and peaceful, and he was not moved by this heavenly power at all.

At the moment of the thunder and lightning, her body seemed to rise a shield, and as soon as the arm-thick electric light touched this shield, it was diverted, and went down the shield, bypassing her body, forming a bright light shield around her body, just like the holy light around the body of the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

After the thunder and lightning were channeled into the snow peak below her by Xu Jingyi, the thousand-year-old snow under her instantly melted, and the snow water mixed with the shattered rocks scattered and splashed out, and a large number of ice crystals and water droplets emitted colorful dazzling light under the illumination of the electric light, like fireworks.

Miraculously, there seemed to be no time difference between the thunder and the lightning, almost at the same time, and everyone only felt a bang in their faces, and their bodies and faces were shaken by the aftermath of this thunderbolt, and they were faintly painful. The location of everyone is nearly ten kilometers away from the snow-capped mountain at the center of the thunderstorm, and it stands to reason that it will take nearly half a minute for the thunder to come.

There were quite a few people holding up mobile phones or professional cameras to record this rare event in the cultivation world in a hundred years. As a result, after this thunderclap, the cameras in everyone's hands were forcibly stopped, and when they looked at the recorded parts, they had become blank. Other digital data stored in the machine by some people is also washed away by the way. The heavens were too powerful to allow people to record this shocking scene.

After a thunderclap, darkness returned to the top of the snow-capped mountain. But the cloud immediately expanded again, then contracted, and a second lightning snaked down without pausing at all, without giving people a chance to breathe.

With the thunder and lightning bombardment again and again, Xu Jingyi's shield gradually faded, and she changed her handprint again and again, strengthening the weakened shield to compete with the thunder. In the blink of an eye, the thunder had been sent out seven times, and the clouds had obviously faded a lot, and the range had also decreased.

After the eighth thunderbolt fell, Xu Jingyi's shield that was so weak that it was barely visible finally shattered, and the clothes on her body burst into flames, which had already been ignited. Tian Xu and Ziyan's hearts were also pinched.

But everyone then saw that the fire on Xu Jingyi's body exploded and flew out in all directions, apparently she activated the aura in her body and shattered the burning clothes. When everyone looked again, she had changed into a light green dress, and was still sitting there with a hanging cross-legged as she had been at the beginning.

At this time, the mountain peak below her had been slashed off by eight thunderbolts, forming a large black pit. Xu Jingyi sat on top of this big pit in the air, like a fairy coming to the gate of hell, which made people admire.

The ninth thunderbolt did not fall immediately, as if it was gathering qi. Everyone looked from afar, only to see the clouds above the snow-capped mountain rolling and circling, the range was shrinking sharply, becoming more and more condensed, it could be seen that the power of this ninth thunder was definitely extraordinary.

In this rare respite, Xu Jingyi was also absorbing aura, trying to recover her strength and meet a stronger blow. The sound of her reciting the Heart Sutra resounded between heaven and earth again, and her voice was still clear and sweet, as if the owner of the voice had not experienced the continuous and powerful thunder bombardment.

After everyone waited for a long time, a thunderbolt finally condensed from the catastrophic clouds and went straight to Xu Jingyi. This time the thunder and lightning was different from the previous eight, not winding in the air, but a straight one, like a pillar of light, shining vertically towards Xu Jingyi.

The catastrophic clouds in the air seemed to be drained of their strength by this thunderbolt, and instantly became thinner, and the sun that was blocked behind the catastrophic clouds faintly revealed a pale yellow outline.

Looking at such a terrifying thunder, everyone on the lookers unconsciously held their breath and worried about Xu Jingyi. The shield formed by the handprint had been shattered, and she didn't know how she could resist the shocking blow.

Xu Jingyi, who was in the midst of the thunderstorm, chanted and was interrupted by this thunderstorm. This time she did not pose a new mudra, but put her hands together and stood upright from her seated position.

She was originally a treasure**, full of compassion, like a Guanyin descended into the world. At this time, she was interrupted to chant and sermon, and her face was suddenly full of anger, as if she had transformed into an angry-eyed King Kong, and the onlookers were so frightened by the horror of this Dharma that no one dared to look at it directly. On the hill next to him, a cultivator with a lower realm screamed, fell straight behind him, and was so frightened that he fainted.

At this time, the thunder pillar of light was already galloping towards Xu Jingyi. I saw her head up and open her mouth:

"Om!"

A sound wave turned into a ball of white light as if it was tangible and qualitative, facing the thunder pillar of light against the trend, and instantly collided with the thunder.

The Thunder Pillar of Light was hit by this mantra, and the Om Word Light Cluster was also shattered by the Thunder Pillar of Light, and the Pillar of Light rushed towards her again.

After the word "Om", Xu Jingyi was full of energy, and the last five of the six-character mantra came out in turn:

"Well!"

"What!"

"Let's go!"

"Mi!"

"Moo!"

The six-character mantra formed a white ball of light, continuously rushing towards the thunder pillar of light, forming a string of meteors in the air, crashing into the pillar of light in turn, reducing the speed of the pillar of light to a minimum.

At the same time, the size of the pillar of light has also been greatly weakened, from the original thickness of the bowl to thinner than an egg, and its power has also been greatly reduced.

But even so, the thunder pillar of light still existed, and it continued to accelerate, rushing towards Xu Jingyi's head.

Just when the pillar of thunder light reached the top of Xu Jingyi's head, her hands suddenly opened and hit the pillar of light directly. This palm did not have the slightest aura fluctuation, like an ordinary person reaching out to block the big knife that was slashing at the top of his head. Her body, which had been suspended in mid-air, also fell down with the blow, and landed directly into the large crater that had been struck out by the thunder. The people could not see the situation in the pit, but as the thunder fell, there were gravel flying out of the pit, and the fire also rose up and did not go out for a long time.

After a long time, Xu Jingyi was still not seen rising from the pit, and the calamity cloud had gradually dissipated. The sun had already set on the ridge of the snow-capped mountains, and half of its face poked out there, peeking secretly over here. As if he couldn't bear to see this tragic scene, he shrank his head and hid behind the mountain.

Tian Xu's heart hurt greatly, tears flowed down, and he ran towards the snowy mountain. It was only a little bit before this devastating blow was about to be resolved, but Aunt Xu still didn't resist this thunderstorm, and it fell short.

Shortly after the sun set, a golden light burst out from the sky. The peaks, the grasslands, the people, everything around them is bathed in this golden light, shining brightly. In an instant, all sounds stopped, and above the golden light of the sky, there were faint bursts of fairy music, and when they searched carefully, there was no trace of them.

Ziyan shouted excitedly: "Tian Xu! See? There is golden light! There is golden light! Aunt Xu has succeeded!"

"It's successful, it's successful!" Tian Xu laughed loudly, his joy overflowing, so that other people nearby were also infected by it and became happy.

He was running down the hill when he suddenly jumped to his feet, and somehow five or six times in the air, and finally fell to the ground when he landed on the hillside, and rolled straight down the hill, still laughing from his mouth.

Rolling halfway up the mountain, Tian Xu stopped his body, got up, and jumped up the mountain like a big toad.

When he went up to the top of the mountain, Tian Xu hugged Ziyan in his arms and hugged her and still laughed. Suddenly, I picked her up and turned around a few times, and then threw her straight into the air, threw her two or three feet high, and then took her in my arms, several times in a row, and still felt the joy in my heart fill my chest.

Purple Smoke was equally pleased. Although she had only seen Xu Jingyi once, she had a natural closeness to this magical Aunt Xu. Perhaps under the influence of Tian Xu, she likes this elder from the bottom of her heart. As for the murderous reputation of the iron-mouthed Guanyin, who was talked about in the cultivation world, she didn't have any intuitive feelings. Even if she had just seen Xu Jingyi shake the Heavenly Tribulation head-on with the six-character mantra and shake the Tribulation Cloud with the Prajna Mantra, it could not change Xu Jingyi's position as a kind elder in her heart.

The three members of the East China Sea faction who were watching were already shocked by Tian Xu's combat power. At this time, I heard that he was Tian Xu, who had recently stirred up the situation in the cultivation world, and couldn't help but secretly laugh at those sects that took advantage of the fire to rob the Tian Clan's Taiji Sect. This Tian Xu legend only has the realm of the seventh order of forging the body, and at this time, it seems that it is at least close to the high-level Qi Gathering of Ning Dan, otherwise how can he easily kill two high-level Qi Gathering cultivators in seconds?

By the time Tian Xu calmed down his excitement, the golden light in the sky had already dispersed.

Legend has it that the golden light of the ascended person after the successful passage of the tribulation contains the wisdom of the transcendent, and those who receive the golden light bath can receive the blessing of the ascendant and have the opportunity to inherit the perception of the ascendant. Therefore, when the golden light was sprinkled, the people around him were quietly feeling the golden light, and secretly laughed at Tian Xu for wasting this rare opportunity.
