"A bunch of idiots!"
Long Chen saw this scene and let out a cold laugh.
These guys actually want to use the power of the heavenly tribulation to trap Long Chen, hoping to use the tribulation power against him and then surround and attack him.
This trick might work against ordinary cultivators, but for Long Chen, it was simply lacking intelligence and risking his life to make up for it.
"Lei Ling'er, kill them all. Don't hold back." Long Chen directly gave Lei Ling'er the order.
Receiving Long Chen's order, Lei Ling'er was instantly overjoyed. These clusters of heavenly tribulations were a fatal temptation for her.
"Boom!"
Lei Ling'er waved her jade hand, wielding a blade of thunder. With a single slash, countless tribulation clouds and tribulation crossers were sliced to dust by Lei Ling'er's sword.
"Buzz!"
The Destiny Wheel appeared behind Lei Ling'er. As the wheel spun, the thunderous power of heaven and earth was absorbed by the wheel like a whale sucking water, leaving no trace behind.
Lei Ling'er slashed down with her sword, annihilating hundreds of tribulation crossers in one strike. Those who had rushed halfway saw this scene and were terrified out of their wits, running in panic.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
However, as soon as they moved, Lei Ling'er had already transformed into the Heaven-Shrouding Divine Emperor, her wings tearing through the void and annihilating all these tribulation crossers.
In the distance, someone saw Long Chen, but before they could decide whether to attack him, everything was over. Thousands of tribulation clouds vanished, and along with them were the prodigies undergoing tribulation.
"Even a bunch of Destiny dared to set their sights on me. Who gave you the courage?" Long Chen snorted coldly, his figure like a bolt of lightning, continuing to charge forward.
This sea of lava was vast, endlessly visible. Long Chen continued to race forward, discovering that those undergoing tribulations here were mostly Destiny Ones, ranging from five-star to nine-star Destiny Destined Ones. Occasionally, he would see half-step Destiny Children, but never a true Destiny Child.
Long Chen knew this was just the outskirts of the Tribulation Crossing Land. Along the way, he encountered many reckless people blocking his way, but all were killed by Lei Ling'er. Their tribulation clouds were completely swallowed by Lei Ling'er.
At this moment, Lei Ling'er was no longer the same as before. In the chaotic space, she had devoured too much thunder power. Although this was an immortal-level heavenly tribulation, it was clearly insufficient for her, posing no threat at all.
Long Chen noticed that after devouring these heavenly tribulations, Lei Ling'er's aura was no longer so scattered and began to gradually gather and compress.
Through communicating with Lei Ling'er, Long Chen finally learned that her power had reached a bottleneck. The power she controlled was far too great, so vast that it was beginning to exceed her control.
Moreover, this energy came from the thunder power absorbed by those corpses, which was sufficient in quantity but lacking in quality.
Lei Ling'er controlled endless thunderous power, as if one person commanded a million soldiers but lacked the command of commanders, unable to effectively unite them.
At this moment, Lei Ling'er even longed for the power of the heavenly tribulation even more than Long Chen, because the power of the tribulation was her true source of power.
With the power of the tribulation, she could compress her original strength and create a qualitative change; otherwise, with so much thunder power, she wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.
As the tribulation's power was devoured by Lei Ling'er, her original, loose, and ungathered thunder power began to thicken and solidify, causing her aura to gradually become increasingly fierce.
As Long Chen sped forward, the color of the lava sea ahead changed. The lava had been dark red, but now it was blood red. Not only did the color become more vivid, but the aura also became sacred and majestic, even tinged with ferocity.
The flames here finally gained tremendous destructive power. As Long Chen stepped into this sea of lava, his body suddenly tensed, and the overwhelming pressure made his body sway.
"No wonder these people only undergo tribulations on the outskirts. The pressure here is simply unbearable. Even if they barely endure it, they might not be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation here." Long Chen suddenly understood—not only had the color of the flames changed, but even the laws had changed.
The laws of heaven and earth were no longer gentle; the violent pressure made the soul tremble. Undergoing tribulation here could cost one's life—even the Child of Destiny would be in danger.
Crack!
As soon as Long Chen entered this area, a crisp sound rang out, the void split open, and a bolt of lightning struck down, heading straight for Long Chen's head.
Boom!
As soon as the lightning struck, Lei Ling'er smashed it apart with a single palm, transforming into a sky full of thunder runes.
"Buzz"
Within the thunder runes, a transparent figure appeared—a thin, long sword materialized. As soon as it appeared, it was already at Long Chen's brow.
"The Fate-Hunting Clan?" Long Chen was startled; he hadn't expected to encounter a powerful Fate-Hunter clan member undergoing a tribulation.
The man struck out with his sword, and the sharp sword aura caused a sharp pain in Long Chen's brow. His heart tightened, and he opened his large hand, blood-red scales appearing in his palm as he reached out to grab the sword.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen slashed out with a claw, but missed it. The sharp sword vanished into thin air, and then a figure appeared behind Long Chen.
"Bang!"
The figure had just appeared and hadn't even made an attack when a flaming staff silently struck his head. With a loud bang, the Life-Hunting clan expert was killed by Huo Ling'er's staff.
The Destiny Child of the Fate Hunter Clan was extremely strong. Although he hadn't advanced to Immortal yet, after the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, his power had undergone a dramatic transformation.
However, his attention was entirely focused on Long Chen and Lei Ling'er, and he never expected that Huo Ling'er was also present.
This was the core of the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain. The dense flame power between heaven and earth masked the fluctuations of Huo Ling'er's aura, so the Lifehunter clan experts never understood what had happened until their death.
Huo Ling'er had become increasingly cunning. After entering this area, she began to go invisible, quietly following Long Chen. In this sea of flames, almost no one could spot her.
As for those small fry, having Lei Ling'er intervene was enough. She was secretly protecting Long Chen, and the life-hunting clan experts still had many secret moves they hadn't had time to use before being killed in a confused way.
"Boom!"
The Fate Hunter clan expert was slain, and behind Lei Ling'er, the Wheel of Fate spun, directly swallowing the massive tribulation cloud in the sky.
After the devouring was complete, Lei Ling'er's delicate body trembled. Within the tribulation of the Child of Destiny was the essence of heavenly thunder. The vast thunder power within her contracted sharply. The energy from this bite was several times greater than the benefits she had absorbed before. At that moment, Lei Ling'er's eyes began to shine.
