"Rumble rumble... All
the Nine-Star successors transformed into a sky full of thunder. A thunder dragon opened its huge mouth and swallowed all the thunder around Long Chen.
At the same time, the Nine-Star heirs who attacked Kuntu and the others absorbed their thunderous power.
During the tribulation, countless prodigies from various races were present, but now, fewer than five hundred experts remained. Beast clan experts accounted for just a slight portion, while other races made up the majority.
The moment the Nine-Star successor shattered, the auras present surged rapidly, multiplying several times in an instant. The vast aura changed the color of heaven and earth. The tribulation ended, and they were no longer Divine Lord Realm experts, but had finally advanced to the Immortal King Realm.
Because he had just advanced, his aura leaked out, and violent power surged, wildly washing through heaven and earth.
These people frantically fought for the thunder power of heaven and earth. Suddenly, they set their sights on the thunder dragon behind Long Chen. Since most of the Nine-Star successors were besieging Long Chen, the thunder power was devoured by Lei Ling'er, and their eyes instantly turned red.
This thunderous power was practically fate-changing for them. Whether it was Kuntu, the Blindfolding Giant, or other powerful beings, their bodies tempered by thunder became so formidable that even they could hardly believe it.
It can be said that they had borrowed light from Long Chen. Such a heavenly tribulation had never appeared before, and the benefits to them were unimaginable.
When they saw Lei Ling'er devour all the thunder, without hesitation, they charged straight at Long Chen.
"Rumble... Kuntu
spread his wings and charged through the air, moving fastest. His sharp claws soared through the air, charging straight at Long Chen. He could tell that the Thunder Dragon was Long Chen's pet, thinking that as long as he killed Long Chen, he might be able to make the Thunder Dragon recognize him as its master.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen sneered, holding the Minghong Blade in his hand, slashing at Kuntu. But just halfway through the slash, Long Chen couldn't help but cry out:
"How could this happen?"
Long Chen's spiritual energy was abundant. Upon entering the Immortal King realm, his spiritual energy had increased dozens of times compared to before, but to his horror, he discovered that the blood and energy in his meridians had dropped to less than one-tenth.
"Boom!"
Long Chen met the blow with his blade, but with a loud explosion, Long Chen was blasted away by Kuntu.
"Crack!"
Long Chen had just been blasted away when Kun Tu's other sharp claw shattered a large area of the void. It turned out that this second claw was the real killing move.
However, Kuntu did not expect that Long Chen, who had advanced to the Immortal King realm, would actually weaken. A probing strike knocked Long Chen back, while his true killing move was accidentally missed.
"Die!"
Long Chen retreated, and suddenly the void behind him trembled. Bolts of lightning appeared, converging into a single figure. A thunderous longsword, roaring with a roar, charged straight at Long Chen to strike.
"Weng Tianyao"
Weng Tianyao finally made his move. His speed was not much slower than Kuntu's. With one sword strike, the Heavenly Dao collapsed, and the strike had the power to destroy heaven and earth. Upon reaching the Immortal King realm, he was as if reborn, a hundred times stronger than when he was at the Divine Lord realm. Clearly, he had gained endless benefits from this tribulation.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He himself was stunned—was the Nine-Star successor deliberately harming him? Otherwise, how could he be so weak after crossing the tribulation, with the power of his essence and blood?
"Boom!"
Facing Weng Tianyao's full-force attack, Long Chen dared not defend himself. He kicked hard in midair and spun around to dodge the sword. Just then, Kuntu launched a second attack, only to meet Weng Tianyao's sword strike again.
Claws collided with thunder longswords, boundless blood and energy collided with thunder power, terrifying ripples erupted, and Dao runes intertwined in the air, visibly shattering the void inch by inch, spreading across tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
Countless powerful fighters who had just rushed forward were struck by the ripple, sending them flying backward. Weng Tianyao's full-force strike shocked many.
"The Heavenly Thunder Body truly lives up to its reputation. But you still don't take me, Kuntu, seriously. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"
Lightning coiled around Kuntu's claws, but it was quickly suppressed by his blood energy. Clearly, the power of heavenly thunder could not restrain him yet.
"You're the one who needs to get lost. Long Chen's life is mine. If you dare ruin my plans, I'll kill you too!" Weng Tianyao had shed his previous cunning and weak demeanor. Now, he was full of cold arrogance, and even when facing Kuntu, he still wouldn't back down at all.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."
Kun Tu roared in anger, and the giant Kun phenomenon behind him trembled. Endless blood energy seemed to press down on a universe, and the Great Dao began to collapse, as if this world could no longer contain him.
"Boom!"
Kuntu smashed the heavens with a punch, sealing off all space and attacking Weng Tianyao. Enraged, Kuntu ignited his blood and energy, engaging Weng Tianyao head-on, leaving no room for shortcuts. This was a matter of life and death decided within a few moves.
"Let me grant your wish. Let me show you the Thunder Tower of the Empire's inheritance vision—it shakes the heavens and earth!"
With Weng Tianyao's cold shout, a ten-thousand-li pagoda appeared behind him. The pagoda had thirteen levels, and each layer seemed to suppress a fierce beast.
The pagoda appeared, divine light dazzling the world, and endless thunderous power surged from within, shining on Weng Tianyao. Endless chains of thunder wrapped around him, and his aura instantly multiplied several times.
"Boom!"
The Mad Blade in Weng Tianyao's hand roared and exploded. With a single slash, a vast expanse of thunder runes poured forth, stirring up a torrent of thunder for thousands of miles. The two peerless forces collided, shaking the sky apart.
"This kid is really sneaky, always playing dumb to outsmart others." Long Chen was shocked by Weng Tianyao's full-force strike. This guy was extremely terrifying, even no worse than Kuntu.
"Pfft, puff"
Kuntu and Weng Tianyao both spat blood at the same time, clashing with all their might, and both were injured at the same time.
"Boss, save me!"
Suddenly, Jiang Lei called for help. It turned out that Jiang Lei had been killed by a supreme prodigy of the Beast Clan, with only the ability to defend himself, leaving him with no strength to fight back.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
figure flickered as he charged forward. The Minghong Blade slashed down, terrifying the supreme beast clan warrior, thinking he would be killed by a single strike. But to his surprise, Long Chen's strike was not as terrifying as he had imagined; he was only pushed back but unharmed.
"Boss, what's going on? How did I get weaker? Jiang Lei said in terror. Like Long Chen, his realm had advanced, his spiritual energy surged, but his blood and energy were weak, leaving him severely depleted.
"I don't know what's going on either. This won't do. Even an ordinary person can't be killed. This is deadly—run quickly! Long Chen was also extremely frustrated, completely confused about what had happened.
"Trying to escape?" Leave your life behind! "
Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen was about to move, Weng Tianyao had already turned into a bolt of lightning, blocking his path and swinging his sword at him.
"Damn it, do we really have to use the Eye of Purgatory?" Long Chen gritted his teeth and pulled off the blindfold.
"Brother Long Chen, leave it to me!"
Suddenly, Lei Ling'er appeared before Long Chen. Facing Weng Tianyao's incoming sword strike, Lei Ling'er shouted sharply:
"Aren't you coming here?"
With Lei Ling'er's sharp shout, a scene unfolded that nearly popped out of Weng Tianyao's eyes. The wild blade in his hand vanished instantly, and what terrified him most was that the blade had actually appeared in Lei Ling'er's hand.
"Buzz!"
Lei Ling'er wielded the wild blade, slashing at Weng Tianyao in a barrage.
