Long Chen plunged into the stone egg, and endless flames erupted, creating a huge ripple. The terrifying impact directly sent Lu Fan and the others flying.
However, although the power of the flames was vast, it was extremely gentle; otherwise, the terrifying impact would have crushed everyone into dust.
Clearly, Lu Fan knew the power of the flames wouldn't harm him, so he charged forward recklessly, but it was useless. Like the others, he was sent flying outward.
At that moment, Lu Fan's heart instantly turned cold. His eyes were filled with fury and terror. Within the endless flames, he could no longer sense any fluctuations of Brahma runes, meaning the flames had completely slipped out of his control.
Everyone was blasted away by the flames, but Long Chen at the top and Bai Yingxue and others at the bottom were not affected, because the impact of the flames was concentrated in the center, with the top and bottom receiving the least impact.
"I'm going to kill you..."
Lu Fan's face twisted as he let out a heart-wrenching roar. He hated Long Chen to the core—Long Chen had actually ruined all his plans.
Just now, Long Chen used the Qiankun Cauldron to smash the Heavenly Fire Source Stone, directly shattering the Brahma Heaven Divine Talisman. Without the binding of the Brahma Heaven Divine Talisman, he could no longer take small factions. In other words, he had to compete for the heavenly fire power here just like the others.
Lu Fan roared as he roared upstream, charging straight at Long Chen. At the same time, Li Tianfan, Luo Yujiao, Qin Keqing, Huang Wudao, Ming Long Wushang, and others also charged forward.
They didn't know what was happening, but they knew the top priority now was to kill Long Chen. As everyone was charging, Li Tianfan suddenly changed direction and charged toward Bai Yingxue, Feng You, and the others.
"So despicable, Li Tianfan, right? Remember, I'll be the first to kill you in a moment!" Long Chen looked at Li Tianfan, murderous intent surging in his eyes. This man was utterly shameless, a real threat.
"Hahaha, thanks for the compliment. If you want to kill me, then let's see if you have the ability!" Facing Long Chen's threat, Li Tianfan remained completely unfazed. In his view, Long Chen would die today, because no one could withstand the attacks of so many powerful opponents at once.
"Smile, I hope you can smile when that time comes!"
Long Chen snorted coldly, suddenly forming hand seals. The aura he had suppressed for so long erupted violently, sending a pillar of light soaring into the sky, piercing the clouds.
"Idiot, breaking through at this moment—are you afraid you'll die fast enough?" Minglong Wushang sneered.
Triggering the Heavenly Tribulation can quickly boost strength, but that refers to the mid-to-late stage. In the early stages, those undergoing tribulations are hit and suppressed by the tribulation's power, making it extremely dangerous to be attacked. Clearly, they couldn't understand Long Chen's behavior—it was no different from courting death.
"Boom boom boom..."
But just as they thought Long Chen was courting death, spears of ten thousand miles descended from the sky, stabbing toward the earth. At that moment, Lu Fan and the others felt a tremor in their souls, their instincts forcing them to retreat rapidly.
"Crack, crack, crack... As
they retreated, thirty-six thunder spears pierced the earth, piercing the void and forcibly creating thirty-six large holes.
Thirty-six thunder spears appeared, causing countless souls to suffer intense pain. On those spears, endless thunder swirled, death energy spread, tightly surrounding Long Chen.
Lu Fan and the others were shocked, all stunned. The thunderous spear contained supreme laws of destruction. If struck, they wouldn't have time to summon the Destiny Wheel and could be killed in a single blow.
Most importantly, they are the children of destiny, those destined by fate. The heavenly tribulation is the condensed will of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will not kill them. Therefore, they never fear the heavenly tribulation.
But those thirty-six thunderous spears seemed to disregard all kin, caring nothing about the Child of Destiny or Destiny Child; as long as it was within its range, all living beings would be annihilated.
Thirty-six thunder spears surrounded Long Chen like a prison of heavenly thunder. Below, Bai Yingxue, Feng You, and the others were crushed immobilized by the terrifying heavenly might, their bones nearly crushed. They looked at the surrounding thunder spears in terror, but dared not utter a sound, for if they spoke, their true energy would be released and their bodies would explode and die.
Lu Fan and the others stared at the Thunder Spear in terror. They couldn't believe what was happening before them. They had seen tribulations many times before, but had never seen such a phenomenon before.
Above the void, tribulation clouds swirled, as if nothing had yet begun, but the heavenly tribulation had already trapped Long Chen, giving him no chance to escape.
This phenomenon appeared, and even Long Chen did not expect it. He looked up at the void, and the tribulation clouds pressed down like a universe. Long Chen was firmly locked by the supreme will of destruction. This time, Long Chen sensed a strong aura of death.
"Want to kill me?" That depends on whether you have the ability! Facing an unprecedentedly terrifying heavenly tribulation, Long Chen instead ignited his overwhelming fighting spirit and quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
"Buzz!"
A transparent ripple spread rapidly from Long Chen as the core. When the ripple touched the thirty-six thunder spears,
"Rumble rumble... The
thirty-six thunderous spears trembled violently, erupting with a deafening roar. At that moment, the world changed color, the universe trembled, and everyone present suddenly felt their souls tremble and instinctively retreated.
"What is that?" A disciple of the Qin Sect exclaimed in alarm.
"Long Chen is resisting the will of the heavenly tribulation with his own will!" Liao Yuhuang looked at Long Chen, her eyes filled with shock; she saw through the situation.
"What?" How is this possible? How can human will resist the Heavenly Dao? Liao Yuhuang's words were clearly hard to believe.
However, just as the thirty-six thunder pillars roared and exploded, Bai Yingxue and the others suddenly relaxed, the force that nearly crushed them instantly vanished, and they finally had a chance to catch their breath.
"Shrink your formation, right below me. Don't deviate in the slightest." Long Chen said to Bai Yingxue.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yingxue and the others immediately moved directly beneath Long Chen. Now, they had no other choice. If they rushed out, they would surely be killed by Lu Fan and the others. Now that Long Chen was undergoing his tribulation, they too were breaking through bottlenecks. Beams of light shot up into the sky, but all of their beams were swallowed by Long Chen's tribulation clouds, unable to create even a ripple.
"Wait, why is the power of the Heavenly Fire starting to contract?" A disciple from Brahma Heaven Pill Valley exclaimed.
With that man's startled cry, everyone finally realized that the heavenly fire power that had just been erupting wildly had stopped erupting and instead began to contract in the direction Long Chen was positioned.
"This bastard is frantically extracting the power of heavenly fire." Minglong Wushang shouted. Only then did he see a beautiful young woman beside Long Chen, forming hand seals and chanting scriptures. The endless power of flames from heaven and earth was rapidly gathering toward her.
"Quickly enter the Tribulation Crossing state and compete for the power of the Heavenly Fire!"
Lu Fan roared. With his reminder, millions of powerful figures present simultaneously broke through the bottleneck, sending beams of light shooting up into the sky.
