Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation is frightening to everyone. Moreover, the tribulation has already begun. Even if Long Chen is in danger, no one can save him. Whoever intervenes will die—this has nothing to do with realm.
"Don't speak, or you'll be caught by the heavenly tribulation and get caught up in karma." The dean said.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they dared not say more. If they became tainted by karma and were captured by the Heavenly Dao, it would be troublesome.
"Rumble... The
heavenly thunder rampaged like raging waves on a raging sea, turning hundreds of thousands of miles around into a sea of lightning.
Those Blood Kill Hall experts were like lone boats in the furious sea, struggling to endure, neither daring to escape nor resist, only able to endure silently.
"Pfft!"
Qin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. The thunder raged so fiercely it nearly tore his body apart. He was about to collapse.
He had just refined the Yinglong Reverse Scale, and his physical body had undergone a terrifying boost. Relying solely on physical strength, he surpassed even the first-generation Divine Lord experts from the Blood Slaughter Hall.
But the difference was, he was at the core of the heavenly tribulation, borrowing light from Long Chen, and the pressure he endured was far greater than that of the first-generation experts of the Blood Killing Hall.
"Buzz"
At that moment, a light screen appeared on Qin Feng's body. Within the screen, a thunder dragon appeared, devouring the thunder power rushing toward him. This eased Qin Feng's pressure considerably and allowed him to barely hold on.
Long Chen didn't need to say anything; Qin Feng knew that every extra breath he endured during the heavenly tribulation was a tremendous gain. He fought desperately against the terrifying heavenly might of that tribulation, refusing to yield, and even more so not to lose consciousness.
He had a belief: the heavenly tribulation was aimed at Long Chen, not at him. If he couldn't even withstand this kind of power, what right would he have to follow the boss?
Bai Shishi watched Qin Feng grit his teeth and persist through endless tribulations, her heart filled with admiration. Indeed, there is no shortcut to becoming strong.
She had once been shocked by Qin Feng's powerful will and mental strength. Now, seeing him face Heaven's Wrath, his body had reached its limit, yet his will was still struggling to hold on.
It must be understood that the will of the Heavenly Dao contained within the tribulation itself tempered a person's will, like a file sharpening their will.
Bai Shishi also survived the tribulation. She knew how terrifying the will of the Heavenly Dao was, and Long Chen's tribulation was no longer a tribulation but a punishment. The file had turned into a sledgehammer—not to temper him, but to shatter them.
Within this kind of heavenly punishment, the heavenly might they endured was unimaginable. Looking at those first-generation Divine Lord experts, each pale as ashen, not daring to move an inch, one could tell just how terrifying their heavenly might was.
Bai Shishi finally understood why Long Chen was not suppressed by the will of the Realm King. No matter how great the Realm King was, could he really be greater than the sky?
Bai Shishi felt a bit regretful. If she had dared to challenge the heavenly tribulation like Long Chen, her willpower would have been unimaginable. Of course, after calming down, if she failed, she would be doomed.
"Rumble...
Endless thunder runes poured down, showing no sign of weakening; instead, they grew stronger and stronger. Long Chen, bare-chested, arms outstretched, let the sea of thunder strike and bathe in it, looking so relaxed and at ease.
Although the thunder was fierce, when it struck Long Chen, it was completely absorbed by his body. Long Chen's body was like a dried-up lake, craving its nourishment.
As thunder surged into Long Chen's body, the violent thunder runes transformed from tigers into sheep, entering his meridians and slowly merging into his flesh and blood.
His body, transformed by dragon blood, was further strengthened, and the golden blood flowing within Long Chen merged into the thunder runes, slowly turning from gold to red. The blood, now red, was even more violent and vibrant than the golden blood.
Long Chen didn't know why this happened, but he knew it was a good thing. The golden dragon blood had truly merged with his body after undergoing the heavenly tribulation.
While Long Chen was absorbing the power of thunder, countless tiny thunder dragons swam back and forth within the heavenly tribulation.
They kept devouring the power of thunder, which was Lei Ling'er absorbing it. However, it could only absorb it bit by bit, fearing that absorbing too much would affect Long Chen.
Moreover, Lei Ling'er had to control the thunder power around Qin Feng to prevent it from exceeding her tolerance. Because Long Chen had told it that the feast was coming later, it was actually in no rush now.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the void exploded, the nine heavens trembled, and countless living beings descended from the heavens, carrying an overwhelming fierce aura, charging at Long Chen.
Those beings included humans dressed in strange clothing, various demon beasts, giant dragons, flying phoenixes, spirits, mad demons, and all kinds of bizarre creatures—many of which were unlike anything people had ever seen.
As soon as those beings appeared, they let out piercing cries, charging at Long Chen as if facing mortal enemies, their resentment soaring, as if the gates of hell had been opened, seeking to demand his life.
"Heavenly Tribulation phenomenon: Vengeful spirits demanding lives? Are these all the beings he killed? Bai Zhantang was shocked.
Rumor has it that those who have killed have a certain chance of experiencing heavenly tribulation phenomena during tribulation. Beings slain by him manifest within the tribulation, demanding lives from those who cross the tribulation.
It is said that these tribulation phenomena are related to the karma of the Heavenly Dao. These life-seeking beings, filled with resentment, absorb tribulation power that grants strength equal to those who have crossed the tribulation.
Usually, when such a phenomenon appears, it basically signals the extinction of the tribulation crosser; such heavenly tribulations are almost certain death.
Those beings surged forth, endless and endless—far more than billions—making one's scalp tingle.
Those beings surged in like a sky, covering such a vast area that even the powerful figures from the Blood Killing Hall were affected.
"Pfft!"
The Blood Slaughter Hall experts dared not fight back against those terrifying beings. Some had tore open divine power barriers, and a skeleton holding a broadsword slashed down. The Blood Slaughter Hall expert blocked and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
That being was wrapped in thunder, and his attacks contained terrifying heavenly might. Even first-generation experts could withstand the assault, but could not withstand the impact of willpower, nearly causing a mental breakdown.
"Chanting the true scriptures, entrusting my divine protection."
A powerful member of the Blood Killing Hall shouted loudly, and everyone recited the scriptures at the same time. As they chanted, their foreheads split open, blood oozing out, transforming into chains of order, binding everyone together.
"Buzz!"
The statue of Empuda at Long Chen's feet glowed, and a divine pattern appeared on Empda's chest. The divine light of this pattern connected with the blood-red chains of the Blood Slaughter Hall experts. At the same time, the statue's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and the divine aura belonging to Empuda emerged.
"Empuda, you've finally arrived. I want to ask you, how are you feeling right now?" Long Chen wielded the Thunder Blade, fending off the frenzied attacks from the creatures, laughing loudly.
