From a distance, Chi Luan and the others watched everything unfold, yet they were unable to offer assistance. The killing intent in their eyes was as cold as a blade, and even the Rule of Fire around them began to chill.
"Once he survives the Heavenly Tribulation, that will be his ti of death. Elder Wu, make sure to kill him with all your might once it’s over,"
Chi Luan said to the white-haired elder.
"Rest assured, even if I must pay so price, I will take him down,"
Elder Wu said.
Boom!
The sixth wave, the ninth thunderbolt descended. Lu Yan retracted the Thunder Sword and countered with his fist, taking on the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.
With a loud crash, Lu Yan staggered backward, his knuckles shattering and bleeding.
"He’s injured. That’s more like it. It would be strange if he wasn’t injured after enduring two Heavenly Tribulations,"
Chi Luan said with a jolt of excitent.
The other two also nodded in agreent.
Yet they didn’t act imdiately, for the tribulation clouds in the sky had not dissipated; instead, they spun more fiercely, exuding an even more terrifying pressure.
"This guy really is a freak. The Heavenly Tribulation isn’t over yet. It seems to be the Seventy-nine Heavenly Tribulation. One more wave to co,"
Elder Wu said.
"Even better. Once he passes the Seventy-nine Heavenly Tribulation, he’ll be gravely injured. Killing him then will be as easy as turning over a hand,"
Chi Luan said, her face twisted with malevolence.
Boom!
The seventh wave of the Heavenly Tribulation descended.
This ti, the thunderbolt was incredibly thick, drenched in purple, and over ten ters wide. From afar, it looked like a giant column of thunder engulfing Lu Yan, as if it intended to reduce him to ashes.
Lu Yan let out a roar. His clothes had long been turned to ashes under the thunderbolt, and his body was covered in scales, radiating a reddish-gold light. The rules of thunder and fire whirled around him as he surged upwards, his fists swinging out to confront the Heavenly Tribulation.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted. Lu Yan’s body fell rapidly, his feet crashing into the earth. Thunder scattered from his feet, covering a hundred miles in every direction.
The ground within a hundred miles sank, filled with thin streaks of thunder, all vegetation turning to ash.
"The Seventy-nine Heavenly Tribulation is indeed terrifying. He might not make it through,"
Chi Luan said, her eyes shining with excitent.
"It would be for the best if he doesn’t make it. Then we wouldn’t have to lift a finger,"
Elder Wu said with a smile.
"Lu Yan..."
Shen Yinuo’s face was pale, her eyes brimming with tears, filled with imnse worry.
"Worrying now is pointless. The descent of the Heavenly Tribulation cannot be reversed. You might as well see your lover off,"
Chi Luan said with a sneer.
Shen Yinuo glared at her fiercely.
Seeing Shen Yinuo like this, Chi Luan’s laughter grew even more jubilant.
Boom! Boom!...
The second, the third...one after another, the thunderbolts fell incessantly.
Lu Yan drew out the Thunder Sword, fighting the Heavenly Tribulation with all his might.
The second thunderbolt made Lu Yan cough blood; the third thunderbolt shattered the scales on his hands; the fourth thunderbolt tore his flesh...
After the eighth thunderbolt had passed, Lu Yan’s body was battered and bruised, his energy depleted, his face pale, clearly having sustained serious injuries.
Boom!
The ninth thunderbolt descended, and Lu Yan was blasted into the earth, creating a crater a hundred ters deep.
In the chaos of the crater, with lightning perating the air, Lu Yan’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
The tribulation clouds in the sky were dissipating quickly.
"Is he dead?"
Chi Luan stared at the crater, sensing carefully.
But the area was filled with lingering thunder, and the remnants of the Heavenly Tribulation made it impossible to determine whether Lu Yan was dead or alive.
"Go and check."
Elder Wu stepped forward.
Chi Luan, along with another expert from the Immortal First Layer, Gu Zhu, also stepped forward to the edge of the crater to take a closer look.
"Sothing’s not right, there’s energy from heaven and earth converging below, that brat isn’t dead yet,"
Elder Wu’s expression changed. Immortal Power erupted, focusing on his fingertips and aid towards the bottom of the crater.
The crater roared, and the scattered stones turned to dust, yet there was no sign of Lu Yan.
Boom!
From behind them, the ground split apart, and Lu Yan’s figure burst forth, lunging towards them.
Elder Wu snorted coldly, countering with a slash of his finger, but his expression suddenly changed drastically as he retreated, shouting furiously, "You’re undergoing tribulation again..."
Boom boom boom...
Above them, without notice, massive and dense clouds erged, their scope several tis wider than before, and the oppressive force also several tis stronger.
"Ah, the Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation..."
"You vile creature, you’ll have a miserable death,"
Chi Luan scread in terror, panic written all over her face that was otherwise quite beautiful.
Indeed, Lu Yan was undergoing the Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation, aiming to ascend to Immortality in one fell swoop.
The injuries he had sustained earlier during the tribulation were feigned. The re Seventy-nine Heavenly Tribulation could not harm him at all.
His pretense of injury was ant to lower Elder Wu and the others’ guard and draw them closer to him, so he could pull them all into the range of the Heavenly Tribulation.
His plan had succeeded.
The Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation had an extrely wide range, and although Elder Wu reacted very quickly and moved fast, he was still unable to exit the range of the Heavenly Tribulation in ti. Four bolts of thunder fell, dragging him into it as well.
Four bolts of thunder descended, one for Lu Yan, Elder Wu, Chi Luan, and Gu Zhu, respectively.
Chi Luan and the rest could only do their utmost to endure the tribulation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
One after another, the thunderbolts fell without cease. Bathed in thunder, Lu Yan was like a god of thunder, far removed from his previous disrepair.
And under the pounding thunder, the injuries he had feigned earlier rapidly healed.
After the first wave, the second wave followed closely...
In the blink of an eye, seven waves had passed, and the eighth was upon them.
By this ti, Chi Luan, Gu Zhu, and Elder Wu were all covered in wounds from the Heavenly Tribulation.
It was as if the scenes of them crossing the Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation from years ago had reerged.
Spiritual God of the Ninth Transformation, three Heavenly Tribulations; the thirty-nine and sixty-nine were manageable, at least half of the cultivators could cross them, but for the final Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation, the survivors were few and far between.
Out of five who crossed the Six-Nine Sky Tribulation, only one could cross the Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation.
And most of those who did cross it barely made it, a matter of life and death.
Elder Wu, Chi Luan, and others were like this.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Lu Yan dashed forward, closing in on Gu Zhu, and with a chop of his hand, he split her in two, her Primordial Spirit turning to ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation.
After killing Gu Zhu, Lu Yan quickly moved towards Chi Luan.
Chi Luan’s soul felt like it was about to depart her body as she frantically fled, but before she got far, she was struck by a thunderbolt and convulsed all over.
Seeing Lu Yan rapidly approaching, Chi Luan let out a scream of terror, "No, Lu Yan, you can’t kill , my mother is the Master of Skull Fire Mountain, an Immortal Fourth Layer being, if you kill , she will never let you go."
"As if she would let go if I didn’t kill you," he replied.
Lu Yan snorted coldly, unmoved.
Chi Luan was on the verge of tears, pleading, "Please don’t kill , I will fulfill any demand of yours if you spare ."
As she spoke, she even writhed her body a little.
Her clothes, already turned to ash in the Heavenly Tribulation, left her shapely figure fully exposed, and honestly, it was rather tempting.
But...
Splat!
Lu Yan’s fist exploded her body.
Chi Luan’s body burst open, her Primordial Spirit obliterated.
"Ever since you kidnapped Yinuo, this outco was already destined."
Lu Yan spoke indifferently, raising his hand to block a Thunder Tribulation.
He then looked towards Elder Wu in the distance.
Elder Wu, cunning and crafty, had already kept his distance from Lu Yan, and was now both resisting the Heavenly Tribulation and flying away.
Seeing Lu Yan rapidly killing both Gu Zhu and Chi Luan, Elder Wu hastened even more.
Lu Yan, being unable to catch up, had to stop.
Because at this mont, the Heavenly Tribulation had begun to exert real pressure on him.
Having crossed three Heavenly Tribulations in a row without pause and lacking accumulation, relying only on previous preparations, he was nearing his limit.
Soon, the eighth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation had passed, and the ninth descended.
The power of the ninth wave was extrely terrifying.
Crack! A massive golden thunderbolt struck down.
Lu Yan activated the Thunder Bell to float above his head, holding the Thunder Sword in his hand.
Boom!
The thunderbolt struck the Thunder Bell first, and the lightning, passing through the bell, hit Lu Yan as well.
Lu Yan’s body tingled, his muscles and bones groaning under the enormous pressure.
Boom, boom, boom...
One thunderbolt after another struck down, and by the ti the ninth thunderbolt fell, Lu Yan’s body was oozing blood.
This was no feigned injury; it was real harm inflicted.
In the distance, Elder Wu also successfully withstood the Heavenly Tribulation, but his body was tattered, and his injuries were severe. He swallowed several precious healing pills, focused on healing his wounds, while keeping an eye on the distant sky.
"The storm clouds have not dispersed. This kid’s previous Heavenly Tribulations had one more wave than ordinary people. The Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulation should be no exception," Elder Wu said.
He didn’t intend to leave.
Even if Lu Yan was monstrous, he couldn’t possibly cross the next wave of Heavenly Tribulation unscathed. When that ti ca, he would surely be severely wounded, the best ti to kill him.
"Co on, no Heavenly Tribulation can stop ; today, I will break through to Immortality," Lu Yan said, looking up at the sky with a determined gaze and a fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
As if responding to Lu Yan’s will, the storm clouds spun wildly, the terrifying pressure increasing instead of decreasing, with countless thunderbolts coalescing in the dark clouds.
Boom!
With a loud noise, a golden sword light from the sky slashed down.
This sword light turned out to be made from golden lightning,
Lu Yan was taken aback to see such a Heavenly Tribulation for the first ti.
"Be careful, Lu Yan, that is the thunder taking physical form, imitating the Heavenly Tribulation produced by so terrifying Supre Treasures. Its power is extraordinarily shocking," the voice of Jin Ming ca from within the Thunder Sword.
Lu Yan dared not be careless.
He activated the Thunder Bell with all his might to et the attack.
Bang! The Thunder Bell was sent flying by the sword light of thunder, a dent appearing on it, nearly pierced through.
The sword light didn’t stop; it struck again.
Lu Yan urged the Thunder Sword and surged upwards, colliding with the Thunder Sword.
Boom!
Thunderbolts surged in all directions, like countless small snakes.
The sword light made of thunder was shattered by Lu Yan’s blow, but Lu Yan himself fell to the ground like a teor, creating a large crater on impact.
His body, enveloped by countless hair-fine sword lights of thunder, penetrated his body. Nurous tiny cuts from the thunder sword appeared on his body, and blood flowed freely.
But Lu Yan also noticed that within the lightning, there was extrely pure energy left in his body; if he succeeded in crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, it would bring him great benefits.
The storm clouds roared, and the second attack descended.
This ti, it was an axe, still made of Thunder.
