Vast cultivation resources turned to ashes beside Jiang Li.
Immense spiritual energy was ceaselessly swallowed by Jiang Li's body.
Within Jiang Li, terrifying streams of light flickered, as if countless divine elephants were roaring ferociously inside him.
The number of mysterious particles had reached 9999.
At this moment, Jiang Li was awakening the 10,000th mysterious particle.
Behind Jiang Li, illusory figures of divine elephants seemed to flow.
Beneath these phantom divine elephants, Jiang Li seemed to possess an unrivaled, domineering aura.
"Rumble!!!"
After a long while, as the many spiritual herbs around Jiang Li disintegrated.
The 10,000th mysterious particle within Jiang Li finally transformed into a divine elephant.
A profound aura flowed behind Jiang Li.
A pair of magnificent, unparalleled illusory wings appeared behind Jiang Li.
Terrifying runes were carved on the wings, with faint streams of gold and black light flowing upon them.
Wings of the Demon!!!
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly containing black light that could slay everything.
It was an supreme divine ability, the Wings of the Demon.
The runes carved on the Wings of the Demon were runes of space law, containing the profound meaning of extreme speed.
Once unfurled, it could instantly increase one's flight speed, embodying ultimate velocity.
More importantly, the spatial law runes carved upon them allowed the host to traverse the void as if it were water.
The storms within the void had no effect on the Wings of the Demon.
With this divine ability, his ability to protect himself had increased significantly.
Jiang Li took a deep breath.
He had already fused with the Void King Body, and with these Wings of the Demon, the void posed no danger to him.
At critical moments, he could escape into the void, and no one could catch him.
Moreover, the acceleration effect of the Wings of the Demon was also extremely powerful.
Coupled with his Kun Peng Treasure Art, it was likely that no one below the Supreme realm could catch him.
This was undoubtedly a powerful trump card.
"Your Highness the Saint Son, we have arrived at the waters of the Heavenly Star Sea!" At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the cultivation room.
Jiang Li regained his senses.
Had they reached the Heavenly Star Sea already?
Following that, Jiang Li collected his thoughts and walked outside.
On the flying boat, there were many disciples of the Prime Demon Sect, watching the scenery outside.
At this moment, the sky above was shrouded in countless dark clouds.
In the distant area of the flying boat, endless lightning flickered.
The terrifying power of lightning was almost capable of destroying everything.
Jiang Li arrived on the deck of the flying boat, where many Prime Demon Sect disciples had already gathered.
Among them were quite a few Saint Son-level figures.
Jiang Li also spotted Lin Zhang of Cang Mo Peak and Xue Yufei of You Mo Peak among the crowd.
At the very front of the deck stood a middle-aged man with a stern face.
This middle-aged man was the Peak Master of Sheng Mo Peak, responsible for leading the Prime Demon Sect disciples in this Saint Crystal contention battle.
Du Yuanchun, a top Grand Venerable cultivator at the ninth heaven of the Supreme realm.
Accompanying him were several other elders of the Supreme realm.
There were also quite a few elders at the Great Saint realm.
All of them were there to protect the safety of the Prime Demon Sect disciples.
"What's happening outside!" Jiang Li asked.
The power of lightning ahead was too terrifying.
That lightning almost covered a vast expanse of the sea.
The thick cloud layer seemed to swallow the entire world, oppressive and heavy, making one feel extremely stifled.
The terrifying aura carried by the lightning made one's scalp tingle, feeling like supreme heavenly might.
Even Jiang Li felt a faint sense of dread looking at that terrifying lightning.
Let alone the other disciples.
"Reporting to Your Highness the Saint Son, it appears someone is undergoing tribulation ahead!" a disciple from Xing Mo Peak said.
Tribulation?
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. Such a terrifying lightning tribulation.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, someone is undergoing the Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation!" Just as Jiang Li was observing the world-destroying aura ahead, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded in his ear.
Jiang Li turned around, and Xia Qingying, clad in a white dress, looked at him with a faint smile.
"Senior Sister Xia!" Jiang Li greeted.
Xia Qingying nodded slightly, then slowly walked to Jiang Li's side.
They walked shoulder to shoulder, gazing at the terrifying heavenly tribulation in the distance.
Jiang Li's gaze fell upon the area where the terrifying lightning power was striking.
Faintly, he could see what seemed to be a colossal golden dragon shadow within the lightning tribulation.
The lightning from the nine heavens continuously struck the golden dragon shadow.
Everyone on the flying boat felt the violent pressure.
At the forefront of the flying boat, Du Yuanchun continuously unleashed terrifying Supreme laws, protecting everyone on the flying boat.
Ye Wushang looked at the heavenly tribulation, his eyes filled with burning fervor.
Clearly, Ye Wushang also knew that a Grand Venerable cultivator at the ninth heaven of the Supreme realm was undergoing the Quasi-Emperor lightning tribulation.
It should be a Grand Venerable from the True Dragon clan, Jiang Li murmured.
The golden dragon shadow was continuously bathed in lightning.
The flying boat remained suspended at the edge of the Heavenly Star Sea, not daring to approach the area covered by the lightning tribulation.
The surrounding disciples were uncharacteristically silent, merely looking at the terrifying lightning in the distance with moved expressions.
The aura of destroying everything was too terrifying, making them tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Even the Peak Master of Sheng Mo Peak wore a solemn expression, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
That was a Quasi-Emperor lightning tribulation; once passed, one would become a true overlord of the Ancient Desolate Continent, a paramount figure at its apex.
In this era where Great Emperors did not appear, Quasi-Emperors were the peak power of the Ancient Desolate Continent.
Any Quasi-Emperor could easily support a sect-level force and achieve supreme heritage.
Several hours later, the lightning tribulation in the distance finally began to slowly recede.
The golden dragon shadow seemed to have undergone a tremendous transformation.
Its colossal body exuded terrifying streams of light.
"It seems the True Dragon clan is about to produce another Grand Venerable-level figure!" Xia Qingying beside Jiang Li said softly.
Jiang Li nodded. Even such a terrifying lightning tribulation could not crush that fellow from the True Dragon clan.
Now, the lightning tribulation was showing signs of weakening.
It should be able to pass this tribulation.
As the lightning tribulation weakened, the terrifying aura from the distance seemed to dissipate significantly.
Everyone on the flying boat felt the heavy atmosphere within their hearts lessen considerably.
A low dragon roar echoed from the distance, almost resounding throughout the entire Heavenly Star Sea.
The dragon roar seemed to carry joyous cries, and the oppressive aura in the air slowly dissipated under its roar.
