"Hahaha, you idiot! You've fallen into a trap. Before the time is up, you broke through early. If the heavenly tribulation doesn't appear, you'll never be able to enter the Divine Lord realm. Hahaha..."
The moment Long Chen began his breakthrough, Yan Tianhua burst out laughing. Not only did he laugh heartily, but Yu Zihao, Luo Tianye's disciples, Minglong Tianzhao, Yin Jiushang, Luo Changsheng, and others also laughed along, as if they were looking at fools.
It turned out that they had only released the aura of a breakthrough here, but hadn't broken free from that shackle, just to wait for time.
Before Yan Tianhua, he devoured others' heavenly tribulations along the way, using a divine power unique to his bloodline, which was also not a true tribulation crossing.
He lured someone else's heavenly tribulation here, making his thunder light sphere several times larger than others' and the most dazzling presence here. But even he dared not directly undergo the tribulation.
Although the tribulation clouds above their heads were saturated, they were still in motion. If they were not in a stationary state, it was not the best time to cross the tribulation.
At this moment, if someone were to undergo tribulation, it would be impossible to move the reaction of the tribulation cloud vortex. Even if the tribulation failed, their whole life would be ruined.
They hadn't expected Long Chen, in his rage, to do something so foolish. They burst into laughter, overjoyed.
"Rumble rumble...
But soon, their laughter was interrupted by a terrifying roar. They were shocked to find that the moment Long Chen broke free from his shackles, the ever-spinning Calamity Cloud vortex suddenly stopped.
"How is this possible?"
The moment the tribulation clouds stopped, Yu Zihao cried out in shock.
"Based on the timing, it should take at least two more days before it stops." Luo Tianye's disciples also exclaimed in shock.
Minglong Tianzhao, Yin Jiushang, and Luo Changsheng were also stunned. Clearly, this was completely beyond their expectations.
"Could it be that the calamity clouds really change because of him?" Minglong Amaterasu looked utterly shocked, his eyes burning with jealousy, and at the same time, unease was growing in his heart.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Long Chen's body trembled. A divine light shot straight into the sky, a terrifying force plunging into the vortex. The vortex was pierced by the divine light, blasting a huge hole.
The cave spanned tens of thousands of miles. As soon as the entrance appeared, lightning swirled wildly inside, like a dam holding water, pierced through and endless thunder pouring down.
"Rumble... A
thunderous waterfall poured down, instantly engulfing Long Chen. At that moment, everyone's expressions changed.
"Boom boom boom... These
people no longer hesitated, breaking through their realm barriers. Then, within the orbs of light, beams of divine light shot up into the sky, piercing through the tribulation clouds and revealing large holes.
The holes these experts pierced were similar to Long Chen's, showing that these powerhouses were all monster-level and terrifyingly powerful.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a deafening explosion rang out. A large hole appeared in the vortex of the tribulation clouds, one twice as large as Long Chen's.
Everyone followed the Thunder Waterfall and found that the spot was exactly where Yan Tianhua had been.
At that moment, the Black Rock Nine Nether Python clan erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Young Master Tianhua is the strongest!"
"Hahaha!"
Yan Tianhua laughed loudly toward the sky: "I am the one destined by fate. The Nine Heavens Gate will ultimately be opened by me. The future world of the Nine Heavens will be ruled by me, hahaha!" Yan
Tianhua shouted excitedly. Clearly, he had previously devoured countless people's heavenly tribulations, and now releasing them here, he had gained a huge advantage and stood above the rest.
At that moment, the others' expressions changed. They had scoffed at Yan Tianhua's cheating-like tactic, thinking it was a way to deceive the Heavenly Dao and impossible to get by. But unexpectedly, the gap widened in an instant.
"The heavenly tribulation has already begun, yet the Gate of Nine Heavens has not appeared. This means you are not destined to be a person of destiny at all." Someone sneered.
The man sneered, like cold water poured over him, extinguishing Yan Tianhua's fervor and enthusiasm. He looked around and saw nothing unusual, nor did the legendary Gate of the Nine Heavens appear. His heart sank deeply.
"Impossible. My heavenly tribulation is the strongest, and I am the Child of Destiny. The Nine Heavens Passage can only be opened by me, and the fortune of the Nine Heavens will surely bless me." Yan Tianhua shouted angrily.
"Everyone, it seems the heavenly tribulation started early, so there might be a problem. Why not take him out together first and see if there is any turning point?" At this moment, a powerful figure from the Heavenly Tribulation made a suggestion.
In an instant, countless powerful figures turned their gaze to Yan Tianhua. Yan Tianhua sneered, "If you're not afraid of death, come ahead. The opportunity for the Black Rock Nine Nether Python Clan to restore the ancient mighty spirit has arrived." The
phenomenon behind Yan Tianhua unfolded, revealing a black python that covered the sky. Rock-like armor appeared on its body, and its entire aura became cold and violent, like a deadly snake staring coldly at its opponent.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
At that moment, a strange sound came from the outside, as if something had shattered. People looked toward the sound, their faces filled with shock.
"What?"
Above Long Chen's head, the tribulation clouds formed spiderweb-like cracks, centered on the large hole above his head and continuously spreading outward.
The tribulation cloud was like solid ice. Others could only pierce through a circular hole and then remained still, but inside Long Chen's hole, there seemed to be endless power. The opening was too small to vent, and the tribulation cloud was compressed and cracked open.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, with a loud explosion, a large area of the cave above Long Chen's head collapsed. Endless thunder poured down, and the flow was dozens of times greater than before. At that moment, everyone was stunned.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The strange noises continued, like the sand on a dam—once leaked, it would start to collapse. The tribulation clouds kept breaking apart, and the huge hole above Long Chen's head kept collapsing, growing bigger and bigger.
That huge hole expanded from tens of thousands of miles from its original tens of thousands of miles to hundreds of thousands of miles, and then millions of miles in just one breath.
At this moment, the large hole above Long Chen's head had shocked everyone. The Heavenly Tribulation Cave transformed by Yan Tian was no match for Long Chen.
Most astonishing of all, the tribulation clouds above Long Chen's head kept spreading and collapsing, showing no sign of stopping, growing larger and larger.
"This is impossible."
Seeing himself surpassed, Yan Tianhua was both shocked and furious. A snake-shaped bone whip appeared in his hand. With a tremor, the whip stiffened like a sharp sword, stabbing toward the top of his head.
With a thunderous boom, the tribulation cloud above his head was pierced through by the snake-shaped bone whip, widening the original hole by a large patch.
Seeing this, Yan Tianhua was overjoyed. So the tribulation cloud could be manually widened. With this discovery, he went against the current, attacking the tribulation cloud relentlessly. The cave entrance kept widening, and soon it was widenedSeveral times over.
Others were inspired and began manually expanding the tribulation, and to their surprise, this method actually worked.
Yan Tianhua frantically expanded his Heavenly Tribulation Cave, hoping to maintain his advantage. He took a moment to glance over at Long Chen's side, and with that look, his heart instantly sank.
Long Chen didn't bother to widen the Heavenly Tribulation Cave at all. The tribulation clouds above his head had already begun to collapse, web-like cracks extending to the edge of his vision. The tribulation clouds above had collapsed into a funnel-like shape, and the giant cave had already stretched tens of millions of li.
"What's going on?"
Yan Tianhua was both shocked and furious. He desperately opened the Heavenly Tribulation Cave, trying to catch up with Long Chen's progress, but now he realized the gap between them had reached a desperate level.
"Die!"
Yan Tianhua roared in anger, swinging his bone whip like a sharp sword, ignoring spatial distance as it thrust straight at Long Chen.
