The colorful thunder swords transformed into black thunder swords. Carrying an endless aura of destruction, the black thunder swords crashed into the crowd and exploded with a roar, releasing boundless energy, even shattering the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
"Boom boom boom... The
black sword shattered, shattering heaven and earth. Each black thunder sword formed a ripple of death. Within these ripples, besides the powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the power of annihilation was also infused, a force capable of shattering the laws of heaven and earth.
Previously, the thunder swords rained down like rain, attacking in a linear pattern. Now, each black thunder sword exploded, covering a hundred miles around. Endless thunder swords fell, forming a domain of death.
No matter how the beast clan warriors resisted, it was useless. Even their divine weapons were shattered by the thunder, and their bodies turned to nothingness, body and soul destroyed.
At this moment, even the supreme-level prodigies could barely protect themselves and had no time to care for others. In an instant, the tribulation turned into a black purgatory, like a slaughterhouse of the Heavenly Dao—dark and bloody.
Even the Divine Sovereign experts of the demon beast clan outside wore faces of shock:
"What kind of heavenly tribulation is this? There's no way to survive! Are they trying to kill everyone?"
They have lived through endless ages, but no matter how violent the tribulation is, it is a trial. Since it is a trial, there is a high chance of success, survival of the fittest, and allowing the strong to pass.
But now, the tribulation showed no sign of vitality—only an endless aura of destruction. Not only were these disciples undergoing tribulation, even the old fellows themselves trembling with fear, seeing no hope at all.
"This can't go on. Kill that human quickly..."
Suddenly, a Divine Venerable-level expert shouted loudly, his voice reaching into the heavenly tribulation. At that moment, countless experts outside the tribulation were terrified and all turned to look at him.
"Boom!" Suddenly,
a divine light shot out from the heavenly tribulation, striking the person who was shouting. The caller was a Divine Sovereign realm expert, but after being locked onto by the tribulation, he had no strength to resist and was shattered by the divine light.
That figure shattered, and soon another appeared in the void—it was the one killed by the heavenly tribulation.
The powerful members of the beast clan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that person had sacrificed a clone to gain a voice transmission, but it was worth it.
The person sent a voice transmission earlier, startling them. Speaking recklessly during a tribulation would bring heavenly punishment.
"Boom!"
But just as that figure appeared, another thunderous spear shot out from the heavenly tribulation, cutting through billions of miles of void and stabbing into the man.
"What?"
People were terrified. With a clone killed, they should have escaped karma. But under their shocked gazes, the Divine Sovereign realm expert was blasted to death once again. This time, he had no clone and was completely dead.
"This heavenly tribulation is too domineering; even clones can't deceive it." Someone exclaimed, their scalps tingling; they had never heard of such a heavenly tribulation.
Heavenly punishment cannot be deceived; interfering with the heavenly tribulation comes at a cost. One clone is equivalent to half a person's life. Normally, no one would risk provoking the tribulation.
But throughout history, some have called out to the tribulation that at most they sacrifice a clone and it ends, destroying the clone as a form of punishment.
But this time, that move didn't work—not only was the clone killed, but even the real body was killed as well.
For a moment, countless people were so terrified their faces turned green. Fortunately, that person was killed by the heavenly tribulation. If the tribulation hadn't killed him with a single strike, the tribulation would instantly shift from an Immortal King tribulation to a Divine Lord tribulation. At that point, everyone would likely be engulfed by the tribulation. With so many supreme powerhouses undergoing the tribulation at once, this entire world would be completely destroyed, and all living beings would vanish.
"Everyone, let's kill Long Chen together. As long as we kill him, the level of the heavenly tribulation will drop, or we'll all die!" Suddenly, someone shouted in a shrill voice. With that shout, countless powerful figures turned to look at Long Chen.
"Weng Tianyao"
Hearing that voice, Long Chen immediately knew who his master was. This guy was hiding in the shadows, thinking Long Chen hadn't noticed him and was inciting the beast clan to attack him.
"Buzz"
Long Chen gripped the Minghong Blade, thunder swirling around him. His gaze swept over everyone as he said coldly,
"He's right. If you kill me, the heavenly tribulation will be lowered by one level, reaching the Kunpeng Tribulation standard. Maybe more people will survive. If you want to survive, just go ahead and fight."
"Let's all kill him together."
"We can't delay any longer, or the heavenly tribulation will only get stronger."
"No matter how strong he is, as long as we fight together, he's doomed." The powerful warriors of the Beast Clan roared in anger and all closed in on Long Chen.
But soon, they were stunned, because they realized that only a very small number were eager to try; most remained motionless.
The powerful members of the demon beast clan were all stunned, staring at them in disbelief. Kuntu didn't move, the Ghost-Eyed Giant didn't move, the other clans' powerhouses didn't move either, and even most of the beast clan were focused solely on resisting the heavenly tribulation, seemingly without any intention to fight.
"The weak are always stepping stones for the strong. No one cares about your life or death. We just want to see what the strongest heavenly tribulation is really like.
The tribulation is a trial of survival of the fittest. The stronger the tribulation, the greater the benefits. The tribulation is fair—as long as you survive, you can gain as much as you put in.
A bunch of ants, stop making noise. You can only represent yourselves. Don't expect others to take action. If you have a plan, go for it; if not, die! At
this moment, the beast cultivator spoke up. His voice seemed to blend with hundreds of voices, echoing endlessly, even in the midst of a heavenly tribulation, still echoing far away.
As soon as the beast cultivator spoke, the demon beasts waving flags and shouting felt a chill in their hearts. They hoped Long Chen would die so the tribulation would weaken and buy themselves a way out.
But from the perspective of these powerful individuals, they hope the tribulation will be as powerful as possible, so they can gain even greater benefits.
Whether it was the Five-Colored Thunder Sword or the Black Thunder Sword, the improvements they brought them were so shocking that even they were secretly shocked. This was completely different from their previous tribulations. Absorbing these thunderbolts allowed them to frantically absorb the blood essence energy of heaven and earth, causing their physical strength to grow rapidly.
Moreover, the more people here died, the fewer people would compete with them for the power of blood essence. Even the strong members of the demon beast clan secretly hoped more people would die so they could gain more benefits.
Those weaker and unconfident in surviving the tribulation were desperate. Their ideas, contrary to most people's, were destined to be unrealized.
Long Chen remained fearless, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He gripped the Minghong Blade in his hand but did not withdraw it, because he knew the real battle was about to begin.
"Rumble..."
At that moment, the heavens suddenly split open, and massive chains of thunder descended from above, piercing through the void and piercing into the sea of blood.
Immediately after, a sea of blood churned, and one massive figure after another was pulled out from the seabed by chains of thunder. When he saw each of them, even Kuntu's pupils contracted into pinpoint points in an instant.
"Yes... Beast Lord Skeletons! A
powerful member of the demon beast clan looked at those massive figures, his mouth trembling with fear, his eyes filled with terror.
