Chapter 1795 (Raw 1807): Tribulation in the Ash Gray Sea
Amid strong winds and heavy rain, the first bolt of the lightning tribulation descended with a ‘boom.
Small cracks appeared in Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy shield. Some of the scattered tribulation lightning penetrated the shield and landed on his body. Xiao Chen managed to clear the first bolt of tribulation lightning safely.
However, this was merely the appetizer.
Xiao Chen did not have any time at all for a breather before the second bolt of tribulation lightning suddenly lashed down.
This was a black lightning bolt. As it descended, it tore through space, moving like a javelin.
Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy shield instantly shattered. He gently patted the ground with his palm. The moment he stood up, he threw a punch, which smashed the second bolt of tribulation lightning into random sparks.
Continuously circulating the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, he avidly absorbed the scattered Spiritual Energy in the surroundings.
While undergoing his tribulation, Xiao Chen did not stop cultivating.
As heaven raged, the Spiritual Energy turned strangely dense and vast, far thicker than it normally was in the Ash Gray Sea.
In the blink of an eye, another seven or eight bolts of lightning descended.
Each lightning bolt targeted Xiao Chen, not giving him any chance to dodge or catch his breath. Then, the tenth bolt struck him.
“Boom!”
Xiao Chen got knocked to the ground. A heart-rending pain flared in all of his muscles.
However, he had pulled through the first wave of tribulation lightning. The wounds on his body slowly recovered.
The remnant energy of the tribulation lightning in Xiao Chen’s body had spread through all his internal organs, bones, and limbs; he would not be able to remove it within a short period.
He had no time to eliminate this energy as the second wave of tribulation lightning was already building up power and waiting to be unleashed.
Electricity continuously accumulated in the huge and horrifying thundercloud whirlpool in the sky.
It was like the thundercloud was pregnant with a sunlike ball of lightning that lit up the surroundings, looking resplendent and dazzling.
“Whoosh!”
The lightning ball suddenly dropped. As it fell, it continuously absorbed the ambient lightning-attributed energy, growing larger and even more dazzling.
When the lightning ball approached Xiao Chen, it was already the size of a mountain range. It was intending to squash him, not leaving him any room for survival. It wanted to use the absolute power of lightning to kill him, to eliminate the heaven defier that infuriated heaven.
“Trying to kill me? It isn’t that simple. Break!”
Naturally, Xiao Chen would not surrender himself to his fate and foolishly allow this lightning ball to crash into him.
If that happened, no matter how capable Xiao Chen was, he would be blasted to pieces. He would not leave a corpse, not even scraps.
Great Dao Energy!
A Dao disk appeared behind him, and Dao Might spread throughout his body, filling it with a vast and boundless saber intent.
“Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art!” Xiao Chen roared ferociously, and all the bones in his body and his limbs quietly strengthened. His Vital Qi coursed through his dragon veins. The Dragon Might existed both inside and outside, making azure-colored Dragon Qi ooze out of his body and shroud him.
The Dragon Qi that mantled Xiao Chen appeared ancient and noble, exuding a faint sovereign’s might.
“Nine-Star Primal Core!” Xiao Chen roared, and seven stars lit up on his 9-Star Primal Core, something unprecedented. Starlight flickered in the Primal Core, and the Veritable Essence Energy that flowed out filled his body with strong and surging energy.
Will of soul!
With a thought, the azure-colored dragon seal in Xiao Chen’s Soul Pool released a bright light. The will of soul suffused his entire body. I reign supreme in the universe. My will is the mandate of heaven.
Saber of a tyrant!
With the various energies supporting Xiao Chen, he drew the Tyrant Saber. Then, he launched a saber strike in the time it took for a spark to fly.
Great Dao Energy, Divine Dragon Vital Qi, 7-Star Veritable Essence Energy, will of soul, and a peak Dao Tool—this combination produced a strand of powerful, tyrannical, and extremely dazzling saber light.
With this saber light, the world suddenly lost its color, leaving only black and white.
The huge lightning ball split into halves as a result, turning into boundless electricity that struck the vast Ash Gray Sea.
“Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!”
The scattered electricity crackled loudly when it hit the sea. Electric light exploded and gave off intense and berserk energy. Thousands of holes appeared in the sea and land, turning Xiao Chen’s environs into a sorry sight.
In the surrounding five thousand kilometers, only the peak under Xiao Chen remained. He stood upright while holding his saber, gazing coldly at that terrifying thundercloud whirlpool.
“Let’s see what exactly you are!” Xiao Chen roared and soared into the sky, flying towards that horrifying whirlpool in the sky.
Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down!
A virtual bellow exploded in Xiao Chen’s mind, ordering him to kneel down. It caused Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness to surge, affecting even his soul.
At the same time, the terrifying electric light did not stop descending. It was like the hand of heaven trying to thrust Xiao Chen back.
Xiao Chen swung his saber, ruthlessly charging at the sky amid the electric light.
No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, he still persisted in soaring into the sky, defying heaven.
Xiao Chen only wanted to see what exactly the existence, the mysterious heaven, that sent down lightning tribulations at him every time was.
“Ka ca!”
A lightning bolt lashed out, inflicting severe injuries on Xiao Chen and ruthlessly knocking him down. However, in the next moment, he performed a somersault, ignoring his injuries, and resumed charging forward.
Just like that, Xiao Chen faced the incessant tribulation lightning, getting closer to that thundercloud whirlpool.
The strong Thunder Might made it difficult for him to proceed. He was already covered in wounds.
Xiao Chen, who was only one step away, did not think of giving up at all. With a war cry, he charged in, trying to see.
Suddenly, a piercing white light flared in the whirlpool.
The instant the white light appeared, another bolt of tribulation lightning surged out.
At the same time, Xiao Chen was shocked to discover that his body could not move, restricted by some sort of pressure. He could only watch as the very fast tribulation lightning charged at him.
“Pu ci!”
This tribulation lightning was very thick. A bowl-sized hole appeared in Xiao Chen’s chest, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
Kneel down!
That explosive voice rang out in Xiao Chen’s mind again, and countless bolts of tribulation lightning blasted him until he was unrecognizable.
Xiao Chen crashed down with a rumble.
His body was riddled with wounds. He could no longer bear the heavy burden, but the thundercloud whirlpool still spun slowly.
The surroundings fell silent, and the wind died down.
The lightning tribulation had already been going on for most of the day. That earlier lightning-quick strike, which severely injured Xiao Chen, consisted of a thousand bolts of tribulation lightning.
It was like the lightning tribulation already scattered.
Xiao Chen coughed a few times and vomited out a clump of fragmented blood. He forced himself to raise his head and check the wounds of his body.
His wounds were mostly due to that last terrible strike when he tried to check out the thundercloud whirlpool.
Even now, the bowl-sized hole in his chest had yet to heal. It was scary and horrifying.
“Has it ended?”
Xiao Chen stabbed the Tyrant Saber into the ground beside him. Then, he lay weakly on the ground, looking at the slowly dispersing thundercloud in the sky.
This lightning tribulation was much stronger than the previous one.
Xiao Chen’s heaven-defying actions had provoked heaven into increasing the difficulty of this tribulation greatly. Fortunately, his strong physical body helped him pull through.
When Xiao Chen recovered, his physical body would definitely improve further after being cleansed by the tribulation lightning.
Likewise, his comprehension of the Thunder Dao benefited a lot.
However, just as Xiao Chen was about to get up, the thundercloud whirlpool suddenly regathered, turning into a large bell with many talisman scripts carved on it, pressing down on Xiao Chen.
Damn it! It’s not over yet!
Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. His eyes instantly turned golden as he activated his Azure Dragon bloodline.
An energy that came from the Great Desolate Eon spread throughout his body. After his bloodline activated, Xiao Chen felt his strength recover quickly and increase further.
The ancient and strong aura immediately gave Xiao Chen a surge in momentum, growing berserkly.
Kill!
Xiao Chen pulled the Tyrant Saber at his side out of the ground and soared back into the air. With his bloodline activated, he erupted with the strength of a late-stage Star Venerate.
The saber light containing the will of soul ruthlessly chopped down on that lightning bell.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The lightning bell gave off loud ringing, shaking Xiao Chen. His internal organs ruptured.
Blood poured out of his mouth in a continuous stream. His soul received a huge shock. His eyes turned glazed, and he appeared dizzy.
The lightning bell did not shatter. It pushed down on Xiao Chen, relentlessly pressing him toward the ground.
Xiao Chen only had one thought in his heart: I have to shatter this lightning bell.
Otherwise, only death awaited him.
“Boom!” The saber opened long cracks in the lightning bell. However, the lightning bell also pressed Xiao Chen against the island.
There was a loud sound, and the island got blasted into powder.
“Break!” As Xiao Chen roared ferociously, he used all his strength to send out one final saber strike.
The lightning bell finally broke. Purple electric light radiated in all directions. The seawater seemed to have sunk thirty meters.
The sky cleared and the thundercloud scattered. Now, the lightning tribulation was over.
The island no longer existed. As Xiao Chen lay on the sea, he let out a long sigh.
The Spiritual Energy above the Ash Gray Sea poured into Xiao Chen’s body as the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation’s eleventh layer circulated quickly.
Xiao Chen did not consume any Medicinal Pill, merely relied on his physical body to recover.
If he could refine all the energy the lightning tribulation left in his body, he would receive boundless benefits.
Xiao Chen’s physique was remarkably strong. Since the lightning tribulation was already over, his physical body recovered extremely quickly.
In mere moments, the scary hole in his chest had already healed.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and recalled the various experiences during the lightning tribulation, trying his best to comprehend the Thunder Great Dao.
He wanted to use this opportunity to break through the final hurdle to the Thunder Great Dao.
However, just at this moment, he sensed a dangerous threat, which prompted him to interrupt his comprehension of the Thunder Dao in a fluster and quickly open his eyes.
