Long Chen used the power of the thunder dragon to break free from the lockdown of the heavenly tribulation. Everything happened so suddenly and so swiftly that no one could have expected Long Chen to strike at this moment.
"Snap!"
Kunpengzi was bathed in divine thunder, eyes closed, absorbing the thunder's power with all his might. Caught off guard, Long Chen slapped him hard across the face and sent flying far away.
"Heaven!"
The distant experts were terrified. How could Long Chen be so terrifying? If this strike hadn't been with his palm but with the Dragonbone Evil Moon, wouldn't Kunpengzi have been killed in one blow?
What they didn't know was that Long Chen's slap landed because it wasn't a killing move and couldn't threaten Kunpengzi. That's why Kunpengzi's sense of danger was ineffective and he got slapped hard. If it had been Dragon Bone Xie Yue, the sneak attack wouldn't have succeeded at all.
Long Chen slapped Kunpengzi away, and using the recoil, he flew toward Tian Xiezi, who was not far away, and kicked Tian Xiezi right in the nose.
Tian Xiezi had just sensed something. When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge foot kicking at him. He tried to dodge but it was too late, but Long Chen kicked him in the face and sent him flying.
Similarly, the kick wasn't very strong; Tian Xiezi wasn't hurt at all, but this kick was even more painful than making him cough up blood. Long Chen was deliberately humiliating him.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Long Chen's Dragonbone Evil Moon, accompanied by endless cold light, slashed down toward the distant Di Feng, while shouting fiercely:
"You shameless bunch! Did I agree to let you in?" Get out of here. Long
Chen had previously attacked Kunpengzi and Tian Xiezi. When he reached Difeng, he was already prepared. The strange phenomenon behind him trembled, and a spear pierced through the void.
With a loud explosion, Di Feng remained completely still, but Long Chen was knocked back repeatedly by the spear strike. This was the gap in realms; without setting foot in Tongming, this barrier could never be crossed.
"Die!"
At that moment, Kunpengzi roared furiously and charged forward. That slap completely enraged him, making him lose even the power of thunder and charge straight at Long Chen.
"Shameless! You got a favor from me and still want to kill me?" Seeing things were going wrong, Long Chen suddenly flickered and entered the core area of the thunder tribulation once again.
"Be careful, Long Chen is deliberately luring you in." Suddenly, a startled cry from Peng Wanli came from afar. Onlookers saw through Long Chen's scheme.
"Boom!" Unfortunately,
Peng Wanli's voice couldn't reach the core area of the heavenly tribulation and was engulfed by endless thunder. Kunpeng had already charged into the core, slashing down on Long Chen with his thunderous halberd, who was once again blasted away.
Tian Xiezi and Di Feng also charged in as well, but as they neared the core area of the tribulation, their expressions changed, and they suddenly stopped in their tracks and rapidly retreated.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the sky above the core area exploded, a massive halo enveloping them as well. Immediately after, one figure after another descended from the sky, charging toward them.
It was one young powerhouse after another, wielding various divine weapons, descending from the heavens, their fighting spirit surging. Behind them, strange phenomena swirled, and the heavenly Dao surged.
"Oh my god, they're all Yantian practitioners awakened by the phenomenon, and it seems their spiritual blood has already been activated." When people saw those figures, they were shocked.
"Where did they come from? How could he be hiding in the void? Could he be a powerhouse from another world? "Some speculated.
These strong figures included both men and women, but one thing was that they were all very young. However, their clothing was very simple and rustic, completely different from the current style of strong warriors.
"That's not some otherworldly powerhouse. It's an ancient prodigy who underwent tribulation and was branded by the Heavenly Dao.
They are all peerless prodigies, each with astonishing combat power. Only absolute powerhouses are qualified to be branded by the Heavenly Dao. "Master Tianyu said.
"Boom boom boom...
Countless powerful figures sped down from the void, charging straight at Long Chen and the others. Blade shadows swept across the sky, sword energy soared to the sky, each strike a deadly move.
This time, Long Chen dragged Kunpengzi, Tian Xiezi, and Difeng down as well. Those prodigies no longer targeted only Long Chen but attacked together with Kunpengzi and the others.
"Nine Forms of Heavenly Absoluteness, oh my god, is that person the founding master? Tianjue Sanren?" Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.
That person was a disciple of the Tianjue Sect. He immediately recognized one of the prodigies' techniques—the same move, but a hundred times stronger than the others.
"Um, isn't that the one-armed divine blade Liu Chuan Dao that dominated Tianwu seven thousand years ago? I've seen his portrait, oh my god. "
Isn't this our seventh-generation ancestor, Zhao Qingfeng? My god, why is the same technique so much stronger than ours?"
For a moment, both disciples within the Thunder Sea and powerful figures from beyond the Thunder Sea were shocked, frequently recognizing the identities of those people.
As soon as these people made their move, they immediately slaughtered Long Chen and the others in utter disarray, especially Long Chen, covered in blood and his dragon bones swirling like the Evil Moon, yet still unable to withstand so many powerful opponents.
"Quick, quickly record the Patriarch's moves and artistic conception." Someone shouted excitedly.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As time went on, various wars broke out, prodigies fell unexpectedly, and other factors gradually eroded the legacies of the major powers.
Now, seeing each of their respective inheritances, everyone was both surprised and delighted, fully absorbing the techniques of their respective sects.
"The outstanding figures of every era have all appeared; they are witnesses to the glorious history of the Tianwu Continent." Someone couldn't help but sigh.
"Long Chen must have sensed something and actually attacked Kunpengzi and the others ahead of time, pulling them into the core of the heavenly tribulation. That way, the three of them would share the attack together; otherwise, Long Chen would have been destroyed by the tribulation." Watching the four of them being besieged by prodigies, someone said.
Long Chen was now covered in blood. The attacks from those powerful fighters were terrifying—each strike was the fiercest and most brutal finishing blow, a technique that made a prodigy famous with boundless power.
Even holding off one of them was extremely difficult. With so many powerful figures attacking, Long Chen was constantly injured.
The only thing that gave Long Chen a chance was that the attacks from these prodigies were all converted from thunderous power. As long as they didn't hit vital points, the attacks landed on him and were protected by dragon scales, so they wouldn't cause him fatal harm.
Suddenly, Dragon Bone Evil Moon transmitted a message: "Long Chen, you definitely can't cross the tribulation like this. The power of thunder is entirely death and destruction. This is clearly aimed at you, leaving you no chance to catch your breath."
Others can adjust their state during the life-and-death power transformation within the thunder power, but you don't give you any chance to catch your breath. You've been undergoing tribulation for so long, and apart from your physical body growing stronger, nothing else has changed. Don't you find it strange? "
I also sense something is wrong. This lightning tribulation is different from before—I actually can't absorb it." Long Chen blocked while complaining angrily.
Watching others bathed in divine light, clearly without any abnormality, everything changed with him.
At first, he could absorb the power of thunder and strengthen his body, but later he couldn't even do it anymore—the thunder kept remainingDestroy his body.
"Long Chen, try using the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Technique." Dragonbone Xie Yue said in a deep voice.
"Devour them?" Long Chen jumped. These thunderbolts contained endless power of death and destruction. If they devoured them, wouldn't that be no different from suicide?
"There's no other way. Haven't you noticed your aura hasn't changed at all?
According to my estimate, the heavenly tribulation is here to kill you this time, and the laws have changed. Even if you survive it, you still won't advance to Tongming.
Other people's tribulations are like a slap and a sweet date, but yours is nothing but slaps. Don't you know how the tribulation will affect you? "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
Long Chen thought about it and realized it was indeed the case. After undergoing the tribulation for so long, his aura hadn't improved at all. Although his physical body had improved, it was not very noticeable.
So after all this time, he still couldn't match Kunpengzi and the others. If this continued, it really wouldn't work—either he would be killed by the heavenly tribulation, or by Kunpengzi and the others.
Moreover, Kunpengzi and the others, besieged by those ancient prodigies, began to panic. If they couldn't hold on, they would inevitably attack together to kill Long Chen, because once Long Chen died, the tribulation would end.
"Alright, I'll go all out."
Long Chen gritted his teeth. The lightning that had been blocked outside his body was instantly absorbed into his body. In that instant, his whole body went numb and his reactions slowed. He was nearly severed halfway by a prodigy's sword strike. Although he narrowly escaped, his forehead was slashed wide.
"Buzz!"
As the thunderous power was absorbed into his body, Long Chen felt as if it was being torn apart. Every strand of flesh convulsed in pain, his body stiff as wood.
"Xie Yue, don't mess with me." Long Chen transmitted a message to Dragonbone Evil Moon. This thunder was filled with the power of death. If the Dark Evil Dragon clan's divine abilities were ineffective, Long Chen would be finished.
"Boom boom...
At that moment, the Thunder Dragon flew over, wrapping Long Chen and shielding him from the attacks of those ancient prodigies.
"Puff puff puff...
The
thunder dragon's body appeared extremely fragile against the attacks of those ancient prodigies, constantly torn apart. Fortunately, this was a sea of thunder, allowing the thunder dragon to absorb the power of thunder to heal and struggle to hold on.
Inside Long Chen's abdomen, countless runes lit up, like a cosmic starry sky. When the thunder surged into his abdomen, he fully activated his Devouring Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Skill to absorb the thunder power.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen immediately felt his entire life force rapidly drain away, and was terrified. At this rate, he was really going to die. This move simply wouldn't work.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen was about to give up, the Chaos Pearl trembled slightly, and the thunder runes he had absorbed instantly shattered into ashes.
After the thunder runes shattered, they were recombined into new ones. Within these runes, the power of life and death was split evenly, no longer all of them as before.
"There is a way."
Long Chen shouted excitedly, the divine ring behind him stretching open once again, and began absorbing the thunder power with all his might.
