Yi Shuihan was also a little annoyed by the sudden attack; he wasn't the kind of person who would take a beating without fighting back.
"I'll give it to you instead."
The same rain of arrows, but the one condensed by Yi Shuihan was far superior to the opponent in terms of speed, quantity, and attack intensity.
Before they could even scream, the attacker was blasted into pieces, his very soul unable to escape; he was utterly dead.
Such a powerful counterattack startled both the righteous and demonic factions, who had been itching to make a move. They completely abandoned their bad intentions and looked at Yi Shuihan and the others with suspicion and uncertainty, cautiously on guard, fearing that Yi Shuihan might also suddenly launch an attack.
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to say something, he suddenly looked at the Demon Lord Po Sha. The Demon Lord Po Sha, who had been in a miserable and broken state, had disappeared and been replaced by a boy who looked to be only about 5 years old.
"What the hell is this? Could he be the Demon Lord of Destruction?"
Chapter 621, Taking the Initiative
"Wow, so cute!"
"How could a child suddenly appear here? Where is the Demon Lord Po Sha? Has he already vanished into thin air?"
"No, the divine punishment is not over yet."
"Could it be that he is..."
Yi Shuihan's actions made everyone see the young boy who had replaced the Demon Lord Po Sha, which immediately sparked a discussion.
Everyone wasn't stupid; they all guessed the boy's true identity. Although it was a bit of a surprise, they all accepted it quickly.
"Husband, shall we help him? He's so young, so pitiful."
If it were the previous Demon Lord Po Sha, no one would have felt any sympathy. But now, with his boyish face and bewildered, helpless expression, he's far too appealing to kind-hearted women.
Sure enough, Cai Yan, who had just been vomiting, immediately became overwhelmed with maternal instincts.
Seeing Cai Yan's reluctant expression, Yi Shuihan sighed.
Oh well, it's just a small favor for me anyway, so I'll just do it to make Cai Yan happy.
"What is he trying to do? He actually entered the range of divine punishment, is he courting death?"
"Could he have actually listened to that silly woman and gone to help?"
"He's doomed. That was a heavenly punishment that even the Demon Lord of Destruction couldn't resist. How could he possibly withstand it? Besides, this heavenly punishment wasn't originally meant for him. Because of his appearance, its power will only be amplified."
Just as this person said, when Yi Shuihan appeared next to the Demon Lord of Breaking Kill, the Heavenly Punishment energy that was originally moving slowly in the void suddenly became enraged, and the entire thundercloud instantly doubled in size.
Three thunder dragons, carrying overwhelming power, locked onto Yi Shuihan and roared as they charged forward.
"Did I...did I do something wrong?"
Cai Yan was terrified when she saw this scene and began to regret having asked Yi Shuihan for help.
"Don't worry, sister. Your husband is very capable. This is no problem for him at all," Tsunade comforted her, having blind confidence in Yi Shuihan.
"That's right, my man is not someone who can be defeated by such a thing."
The Empress also spoke.
"Yi is very capable."
Hermione spoke broken Chinese.
While they were talking, Yi Shuihan had already made contact with Lei Long.
"Wow! How scary!"
The little boy was so frightened that he clung to Yi Shuihan's leg, trembling with fear.
"This change is too drastic. Are you sure he's the Demon Lord of Destruction who lost his memory for some reason?"
The thought flashed through his mind, and at the same time he reached out to grab the approaching Thunder Dragon.
"Is he an idiot? He actually tried to grab it with his bare hands."
"Maybe he's a body cultivator; he's confident in himself!"
"That's not right. Maybe he just doesn't take Lei Long seriously at all."
“He…”
It's obvious that those who say Yi Shuihan is confident in his body refinement and that he doesn't take the Thunder Dragon seriously are just making empty claims. They don't actually think that way. But the fact that Yi Shuihan directly crushed the Thunder Dragon completely stunned them.
Both the righteous and demonic factions stared dumbfounded at the calm figure in the center of the Heavenly Punishment, who seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll at home, their minds reeling.
"Sect Leader, he seems to be the person Zhen Lan mentioned."
"From the Lingxiao Sect camp, a female tribulation-crossing cultivator suddenly spoke up."
Zhen Lan described Yi Shuihan's appearance and attire when she was at the Lingxiao Sect, which is why they were able to recognize him.
"So it was him, the senior that Zhen Lan was talking about who seemed to be an immortal."
The Lingxiao Sect members immediately took Yi Shuihan seriously. The sect leader even gave orders to keep an eye on the demonic path members and to stop them immediately if they made a move against Cai Yan and the others, as they wanted to curry favor with Yi Shuihan.
"He actually managed to block it. Just who is he?"
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Yi Shuihan effortlessly shattered the tribulation lightning time and time again. Despite the seriousness of the tribulation, he managed to make them feel as if he were playing around.
"When will this end? Can you hurry up? I don't have time to play around with you anymore."
Although the tribulation lightning posed no danger to Yi Shuihan, its relentless attacks made him increasingly impatient.
"Is this really divine punishment? Am I in a hallucination? Otherwise, how could I be seeing such an absurd scene?"
"Although I also want to say that we might be in an illusion, I am the strongest illusion master in Kunxu. An illusion that even I can fall for is simply impossible. Rather than that, I would rather believe that his strength is too great, so great that he can ignore the heavenly punishment."
"Such power can probably only be possessed by true immortals, right?"
Having never witnessed the power of an immortal, they could only guess at it, and they were right: Yi Shuihan was indeed an immortal, and one whose power was comparable to that of a celestial being.
Moreover, Yi Shuihan is far more powerful than even a Celestial Immortal or a Golden Immortal in dealing with tribulation lightning, because of his awakened tribulation lightning divine power.
"By the way, there's no rule that says I have to obediently wait for you to attack! I can attack first, right?"
Suddenly realizing there was an even more time-efficient way, Yi Shuihan smiled and decided to launch an attack on Tianfa. The thought was quite exciting!
"You stay here and wait patiently, your brother will be right back."
Stroking the boy's head, Yi Shuihan said softly, though he felt a little strange inside.
"Look! He's flying! What's he going to do?"
"Could it be that they intend to launch a preemptive attack on Heavenly Punishment?"
"No way? If we launch an attack, we won't be facing tribulation lightning weakened by the formation, but real divine punishment."
Everyone was completely bewildered by Yi Shuihan's actions, and they were unwilling to believe the correct answer, so they could only stare blankly at Yi Shuihan.
"You've chopped me so many times, let me try it too!"
Yi Shuihan transformed into a mobile artillery platform, continuously firing lightning bolts at the thunderclouds in the void.
The world's will seemed to have noticed this as well, and therefore increased the frequency of its attacks, resulting in the attacks from both sides constantly canceling each other out.
A continuous roar echoed, turning the entire void blue.
"This is like two divine punishments clashing!"
"To see this in my lifetime, this old Taoist priest has lived a worthwhile life."
“I can brag about this to my disciples and their descendants for a thousand years when I get back.”
Chapter 622, Surviving the Heavenly Punishment
Before encountering Yi Shuihan, no one would have imagined that there was such a way to resist divine punishment in this world. After all, in their view, just being able to get through the divine punishment was already an extremely difficult thing.
Out of fear of divine punishment, they would not have the intention to confront it. Who knows if doing so would backfire and increase the power of the divine punishment again? It's not that they lack courage, but even a normal lightning tribulation is a matter of life and death. Facing a divine punishment that is far more powerful than a normal lightning tribulation, being able to survive is already a world-shaking event.
The clash between Yi Shuihan and Tianfa continued, and during this process, the thunderclouds representing Tianfa in the void expanded rapidly at a completely different speed than before.
At this moment, in the void, every second there were hundreds of explosions, each more powerful than the previous attacks that shattered and killed the Demon Lord's body.
This situation was completely beyond the comprehension of both the righteous and demonic paths. Just standing there, they felt a chill run down their spines. It was safe to say that if all of them attacked together, they would be blasted into dust in less than a second.
"Powerful, incredibly powerful! This is a true powerhouse!"
"I've decided that this senior will be my idol from now on."
"I've made up my mind. Once the heavenly punishment is over, I'm going to become your disciple."
At this moment, Yi Shuihan's performance completely conquered them; his unimaginable power aroused their fanatical worship.
"Wow, he's amazing! This is my husband."
Cai Yan's eyes sparkled as she looked at the faintly visible figure in the void, feeling as if she were about to be melted by happiness.
Not only Cai Yan, but also others like Empress Tsunade were filled with excitement and pride in Yi Shuihan's strength. Their resistance to Yi Shuihan having so many women almost disappeared.
Yi Shuihan is currently unaware that his harem problem has been resolved; if he knew, he would be overjoyed.
No one knew that Yi Shuihan had entered an extremely strange state at this moment. At first, he controlled the tribulation lightning and the heavenly punishment to clash, but as time passed, he seemed to jump out of everything and stand in another dimension to quietly watch everything.
"How amazing, is this how divine punishment works?"
Yi Shuihan could clearly perceive everything about himself. His supernatural powers gradually underwent an unknown transformation, and his instincts told him that he had gained tremendous benefits.
During the clash with Heavenly Punishment, Yi Shuihan was able to perceive the entire operation of Heavenly Punishment through the fluctuations transmitted from the bombardment. At this moment, Heavenly Punishment was as transparent as a mirror to him, completely without any secrets.
If Yi Shuihan can fully understand the workings of the Heavenly Punishment, then he can, like the will of the world, gather the Heavenly Punishment in the future, and even control it to some extent in other worlds.
Yi Shuihan, who had only acted out of a sense of pity for Cai Yan, was now very glad that he had done so, otherwise he would never have received such a benefit.
Yi Shuihan even felt that what he was about to obtain today might be worth more than a portion of the origin of a lower world.
"Ok?"
Just as Yi Shuihan was reveling in the transformation of his supernatural powers, he suddenly realized that the feeling of transformation had disappeared.
"No way? It's over already?!"
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the thunderclouds in the void had completely dissipated, and the heavenly punishment had been directly blasted away by him.
The feeling of this transformation being interrupted was extremely enjoyable for Yi Shuihan. If he could, he would like to continue battling with Tianfa for several days and nights!
"I haven't had my fill yet, and you've already run off. That's so irresponsible!"
Yi Shuihan pointed to the sky, looking as if he hadn't had enough.
Those who witnessed this situation were even more amazed by Yi Shuihan's extraordinary abilities. Not only had he done things they never dared to imagine, but he had also succeeded, and with great ease. Now, he was even directly challenging the heavens, which was truly domineering.
"The Heavenly Punishment has disappeared, so does that mean the Demon Lord Po Sha has successfully transcended his tribulation?"
"Um, well, something doesn't seem right! Normally, successfully transcending the tribulation should lead to advancement to the Immortal Realm! But the Demon Lord of Destruction..."
"Indeed, the Demon Lord of Destruction has somehow turned into a child, and there is not a trace of cultivation fluctuation on his body."
"Could this be considered a failure?"
"Who knows! Perhaps he has already succeeded, and maybe he will become an immortal in the next moment?"
Just as everyone was discussing this, Yi Shuihan came to Zhengtai again.
"Little one, do you remember your name?"
The boy shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion. He looked around with fear, but his gaze was warm only towards Yi Shuihan.
"So what do you remember?"
"I am Lin Po," the boy said cutely, pointing to himself, then pointing to Yi Shuihan, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, the boy didn't say it out loud, and seemed to be struggling with his thoughts.
Lin Po? That must be the real name of the Demon Lord Po Sha!
"Fortunately, it's not the worst-case scenario. If he had called me 'Dad,' that would have been really awkward."
Even so, Yi Shuihan didn't know how to deal with the little boy. He had already quietly examined the boy's physical condition and found that he was in a very special situation, seemingly undergoing a transformation into an immortal body. However, the transformation was extremely slow and would definitely take at least a hundred years.
The little boy has almost lost his memory and has no magic or supernatural powers. He is like someone who possesses a treasure but has no key and cannot use it. Any tribulation cultivator could easily kill him. If he is left here, Yi Shuihan is certain that he will be captured and studied, and then used to make medicine after he has no more research value.
“Just leaving him here is definitely not an option. Should I bring him with me and take him as my apprentice?”
To be honest, Yi Shuihan wasn't too opposed to taking the little boy as his disciple. After all, given the boy's current condition, he was a sure thing to become a Silver-level expert in the future, so he didn't need to worry about him much.
However, thinking about the boy's previous form, Yi Shuihan felt a little strange. He really didn't know how the Demon Lord Po Sha had managed to become what he is now.
Chapter 623, Helping with the Breakthrough
Leaving the little boy behind, Yi Shuihan returned to the women and explained the current situation. As Yi Shuihan expected, after learning about the little boy's current condition, they almost unanimously agreed that Yi Shuihan should take him as a disciple.
