LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 746: 745
```
The Crystal Great Demon Emperor also had an expression of stunned shock at this moment. What was this guy doing? Because she was right beside Tang San, she could feel it most vividly!
What was Tang San doing? Inside the lotus seeds, there was concentrated the Luck of the Heavenly Fox Clan that had been accumulating for who knows how many years, also the most pure Luck on Falan Planet, the kind without any negativity.
At this moment, Tang San was using his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to merge with this Luck in an attempt to block the lightning tribulation. When the part of Luck struck by the lightning tribulation naturally merged into it, it then dispersed into the heaven and earth, essentially taken back by the plane.
Tang San's actions now seemed like he was bribing the Falan Planet's plane. That's why the thunder just now had become so much softer. It seemed as though the plane was quite pleased.
This works?
When he first arrived at the Heavenly Flower, Tang San had already counted clearly, there were a total of eighteen lotus seeds inside the Heavenly Flower this time.
The reason he didn't do this before was to prevent the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox from becoming desperately reckless. At the same time, it was also to let his own body more truly withstand more powerful thunder, thus completing the purification of his body.
But seeing that his body was about to falter, it was natural to use this move now. After being bribed, the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths indeed became much easier to withstand.
Of course, the lightning tribulation's initial intention to destroy Tang San did not change, but this type of Luck as a bribe was, of course, highly beneficial for the plane.
Just as the Crystal Great Demon Emperor had said before, the Heavenly Fox Clan continuously consolidating Luck on the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain was indeed very good for the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, as well as Demon Monster Land, but it was extremely detrimental to the overall balance of the plane. Returning some Luck now, especially the most pure kind, was naturally welcomed by the plane.
By now the lightning had grown terrifyingly strong, and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox couldn't stop it even if she wanted to. Because if she did stop Tang San from facing his tribulation, then when the lightning fell, the entire Heavenly Flower would be destroyed, not just a simple matter of ruining one lotus seed.
The eighth bolt of lightning descended once again, and the Emperors outside suddenly had a strange feeling. The lightning falling from the sky was actually converging towards the center by itself, hardly requiring them to exert much more effort to compress it. However, this self-converging lightning tribulation was even more terrifying in might, because it did not dissipate through the process of battling them. It was as if the lightning tribulation itself was sentient.
The Emperors at this moment were even somewhat numb. They could not imagine under what circumstances such a Heavenly Tribulation could occur, and they didn't even believe it was a living creature undergoing tribulation, because that just seemed impossible to succeed!
As the eighth bolt of lightning tribulation descended, Tang San didn't hesitate to absorb another lotus seed with his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, letting the lotus seed shatter, and the Luck return.
Indeed, it was still effective; as the seed shattered, the lightning became gentle, and even the Time-Space Tower's control over time and space seemed to take effect again, making it much easier for Tang San to endure the process.
Jingjing watched, dumbfounded. Was the lightning tribulation encouraging Tang San to keep doing this? Could this really work?
And such changes were all within Tang San's expectations.
Subsequently, whenever a terrifying bolt of lightning tribulation descended, Tang San would shatter another Lucky Lotus Seed to repay Luck. So, although the lightning tribulation became stronger with each bolt, it seemed to be finding ways on its own, constantly changing to allow Tang San to withstand it. Again and again, Tang San resisted it. But as Luck returned, the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain outside began to shrink, even collapsing.
Eighteen lotus seeds, they were the very essence of the Heavenly Fox Clan!

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox also attempted to block it. However, when he tried to intervene, the lightning tribulation originally striking at Tang San showed a tendency to turn, almost as if it wanted to attack him instead. This left the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox hesitant, and he dared not block it.
When the sixteenth lightning tribulation descended, the entire Hell's Garden was completely illuminated in gold by the dispersing thunder. The terrifying thunder, one after another, roared towards Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San's body had turned into a crystal clear golden color. As he withstood the thunder strikes, his divine consciousness rose with each hit.
After sixteen strikes of the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, his state had reached the peak of Demon King Rank. His aura became extremely terrifying. The price he paid was nine Lucky Lotus Seeds.
To understand the value of these seeds, one must know that even for the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, gathering the Power of Luck from the entire plane for a hundred years was required to preserve this pure Luck after dispelling bad fortune. Even during his own cultivation practice, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox would only use the seeds to aid his cultivation instead of directly absorbing them. Eighteen seeds were already the limit.
Yet Tang San returned nearly a thousand years of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's hard work to the plane in a short time, elevating his cultivation base from the initial entry to God Rank to a state around Rank 10 peak. This had already caused the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox outside to spit blood once.
The seventeenth heavenly tribulation arrived as expected.
The terrifying thunder, with its fangs and claws, filled the Hell's Garden almost instantly after entering. Although they dispersed after encountering the chaos aura, each strand of the golden thunder that dissipated was even more terrifying than the first lightning strike that Tang San had to withstand.
However, they did not directly strike at Tang San but seemed to be waiting for something.
What they were waiting for, of course, was for Tang San to release the Power of Luck again, allowing it to return to the plane.
This time, however, Tang San did not let the Lucky Lotus Seeds shatter. Instead, he grasped at the void with his right hand, and a brilliant golden light shone from his forehead. The runes of the Sea God's Trident bloomed with dazzling splendor, and under a sense of indescribable sanctity, he seemed to have become infinitely grand.
Jingjing's projection had always been by Tang San's side, witnessing the entire process of the tribulation. She watched in awe as Tang San transformed under the successive baptisms of the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

She herself was one of the most powerful emperors, and her own tribulation was eventful due to her exceptional talent. Yet compared to the current tribulation, it seemed trivial.
Even from the first lightning strike, she felt it was something she would not have been able to withstand, let alone the increasingly powerful heavenly tribulations that followed.
Throughout the entire process, Tang San maintained a very stable mentality. His firm gaze never wavered under the strengthening tribulations. Just this alone filled Jingjing with shock. Clearly, he was well-prepared, and all of this seemed to be within his expectations. But could such powerful and terrifying tribulations be anticipated?
What followed continually overturned her understanding. With each lightning strike, Tang San devised various methods to withstand them. From the initial Golden Body Variation, to the use of the Time-Space Tower combined with the Time Variation Seal, to the addition of the Peacock Transformation, and enduring the Two Qi of Yin and Yang. The most mysterious of all was the presence of chaos aura. Without that drop of chaos aura, even a hundred Tang Sans would likely have been struck dead by the Force of Heaven and Earth.
Yet, he remained so resilient, withstanding the terrifying tribulations time after time, surviving within the lightning.
What she found even more incomprehensible was that Tang San didn't directly absorb the pure Luck from those seeds but returned the Power of Luck directly to the heavenly tribulation, letting it disperse within the thunder. Although in this process, some of the Luck in the thunder would be absorbed by Tang San due to its presence, this certainly was less effective than direct absorption under normal circumstances. Jingjing believed that if Tang San had directly absorbed it, he could have withstood the tribulations with the Luck swelling instantly. But he did not do so; instead, he returned the Luck to the plane, causing the tribulation's attitude to become ambiguous. Why was that?
