Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 246 - 245: Breakthrough, Success!

Chapter 246: Chapter 245: Breakthrough, Success!

The onlookers were astounded, but Lin Hao merely looked up indifferently and glanced at the sky.

The third Deadly Heavenly Tribulation had passed, and finally, there was a change in the clouds above.

Deadly Heavenly Tribulation, nine life-snatching bolts, each successively stronger than the last.

From this fourth one onwards, the power was exponentially greater.

Under these circumstances, if Yelu Hao died, then Lin Hao would almost certainly be unable to withstand the Deadly Heavenly Tribulation.

Because this Heavenly Tribulation was not a test for Cultivators; it was meant to kill them.

"Didn’t I tell you to be careful? Why wouldn’t you listen?"

Lin Hao shook his head, walked over to Yelu Hao, and stretched out his hand, wanting to help Yelu Hao up.

"No, urgh, you- you’re trying to kill me!"

Having withstood at least ninety percent of the power of the third Deadly Heavenly Tribulation, Yelu Hao was now surrounded by electric currents, his tongue numb, and his serpent-like eyes stared viciously at Lin Hao. If looks could kill, Lin Hao would have died a thousand times over at the hands of Yelu Hao by now.

"Ai... why bother? Actually, I am a kind person. Helping an elderly person cross the street—I do that once every week. Come on, let me help you up."

Lin Hao sighed as a new mass of thunderclouds began forming above his head.

And this time, those thunderclouds were actually colorful!

"Look, seven-colored thunderclouds!"

All around, the onlookers were already shocked by the scene before them.

Even the disciples of the Ye Family momentarily forgot their hatred and stared at the sky’s colorful clouds with shock on their faces.

"This... could this be Heavenly Tribulation?"

Lan Yue Yuxue looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, her pretty face frowning slightly, then her gaze fell back on Lin Hao, who was helping Yelu Hao up, revealing an even more puzzled expression, and she muttered to herself in a low voice, "This person... is truly unfathomable..."

"Eh, the Sky-breaking Expert and Lin Hao have become friends?"

Finally, someone noticed the scene of Lin Hao helping Yelu Hao up, recalling how Yelu Hao had selflessly thrown himself to block the heavenly thunder for Lin Hao just earlier.

Were these really the same mortal enemies who had just been fighting to the death?

Everyone was puzzled, and then they saw Lin Hao pushing Yelu Hao in front of him.

"Seven-colored thunderclouds? These are tribulation clouds!"

Yelu Hao was very reluctantly helped up by Lin Hao, initially planning to resist, but as soon as he looked up at the thunderclouds overhead, he was immediately stunned.

"It’s you who’s undergoing the tribulation!"

Yelu Hao was no fool; on the contrary, he was very intelligent. Being able to reach the Sky-breaking Realm by the age of two hundred, not many in the world could achieve this.

"Yeah, you just realized?" Lin Hao smiled slightly and looked up into the sky.

The seven-colored tribulation clouds were not yet fully formed, but the pressure they emitted was already making Lin Hao’s heart palpitate.

"Keep at it, you need to hold on." Lin Hao patted Yelu Hao’s shoulder, a glint of concern in his eyes.

"What do you mean by this?" Yelu Hao was shocked, his body’s numbness from the previous lightning seemed to dissipate, and he spoke more smoothly.

"No particular meaning, just genuinely concerned for you. Aren’t you touched?"

Lin Hao smiled faintly, his smile radiant.

But for Yelu Hao, a surge of anxiety welled up within him as he looked up into the sky and finally understood completely.

Instantly, a nameless rage ignited from his chest: "Touched by your whole family! You’re using me as a shield to block the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Only now you see it? There’s still hope for you. However, you shouldn’t have brought up my family." With a sigh, Lin Hao grabbed hold of Yelu Hao, lifting him above his head, "Come on, hold on!"

A load of crap!

Yelu Hao was furious!

He, a mighty Sky-breaking Realm Expert, who would have thought he’d see this day?

Being held above the head as a shield by a young man who had just broken through to the Refining God Realm.

And in front of a public audience...

His face was lost in the gutter.

Yelu Hao was furious inside but still numbed from the lightning strike, unable to recuperate or even resist. He could only grind his teeth and curse, "Wait for it, I will kill you, not just you, but your entire family, I will make your life worse than death!"

Merely trash talk. Lin Hao didn’t take it seriously at all.

Looking at the sky once more, he said indifferently, "With that energy, better save it to see how you can withstand the heavenly lightning."

Upon mentioning the heavenly lightning, Yelu Hao immediately broke out in a cold sweat, turning his head to see that the almost overhead thunderclouds—with a mix of seven-colored lightning—suddenly discharged a purple bolt of lightning that plummeted from the sky, reaching the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Lin Hao! You and I shall be irreconcilable!"

"Crack!"

Under the flashing lightning and booming thunder, Yelü Hao let out a heart-wrenching roar, yet his voice was drowned out by the peals of thunder, and in an instant, both were enveloped in a purple glow.

"Hiss!"

Such powerful lightning, unheard of before.

From all around, the sound of sharp intakes of breath could be heard.

"May the heavens bless and keep Lin Hao safe and sound." Lan Xiyue had already turned into a drenched figure, and at this moment, she didn’t dare to look towards the direction of the deep pit, only closing her eyes, praying continuously.

"Don’t worry, he will be fine. He is Earth’s number one cultivator. Even if not now, he will be in the future!"

"A person like him will not die."

"My master surely won’t die, for he is going to lead us to the Upper Realm!"

Song Qinghong, Song Taishan, and Huai Shian were all showing faces full of excitement at this moment.

Today’s battle will surely spread Lin Hao’s fame far and wide.

Defeating a Sky-breaking Expert, withstanding the multicolored lightning, either feat is absolutely world-shaking.

Following Lin Hao, their status would naturally rise with the tide, and perhaps one day, they might also ascend to the Upper Realm.

A flash of purple lightning streaked by, and in Lin Hao’s grasp, Yelü Hao had been struck dizzy, his whole body numb and devoid of sensation.

"Hold on, you."

Lin Hao’s eyes were filled with concern.

The recent heavenly tribulation, he bore a third of its power. At this moment, even Lin Hao himself was tingling all over.

There were five more heavenly tribulations to withstand, and victory only comes after getting through them all. Without Yelü Hao, it would be impossible.

"I... I... I... add... add you... all..."

Yelü Hao’s speech was incoherent, but inside he was seething with rage. Yet before he could finish his sentence, another lightning bolt, thick as three water buckets, struck down from the sky.

"Crack!"

This time, the lightning came swiftly and was even stronger than before.

Even with Lin Hao hiding behind Yelü Hao’s body, he felt as if his whole body had been struck by a great bell from head to toe.

His own body seemed to barely withstand it.

"Hold on!"

Nevertheless, Lin Hao was still holding onto Yelü Hao, raising him overhead, encouraging loudly.

"I hold on to your... ma"

Yelü Hao was nearly in tears. At this moment, he felt as if his body no longer belonged to him. Aside from his consciousness, he could no longer feel his limbs.

Yet before he could finish his curse, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

...

This time, the multicolored lightning bolts were thicker and faster than the one before!

The area where Lin Hao stood was completely shrouded in electric light, and nobody could clearly see what was happening inside.

They only knew that with each lightning strike, stones would shatter and fly, the earth would split and the heavens would tremble.

Finally, the Deadly Heavenly Tribulation came to an end.

In the blink of an eye, the storm clouds dispersed, the wind stopped, and the rain ceased.

Surprisingly, blue skies and white clouds appeared, with the sun shining brightly overhead, showing no signs that just a second ago, the scene was like the apocalypse with flashing lightning and thunderous roars.

Were it not for the fact that the tavern had turned to ruins, one might have thought it all to have been a dream.

"Is it over?"

Inside the deep pit, Lin Hao felt at this moment as if he had been reborn, his body lighter than ever before. With a light toss, he threw Yelü Hao, who was charred black like a dead dog and emitting a scent of roasted meat, to the ground.

Then he felt a surge of lofty ambition and couldn’t help but raise his head to skyward and let out a long howl:

"Heh ah!"

A clear cry, shaking the nine heavens!

(Thousands of rivers and mountains are all part of the sentiment; could I trouble you for a recommendation vote?)
