Chapter 952: Chapter 935: Robbery Cloud Thunder Beast, Lightning Laws! (10)

Bronze Ancient City.

Countless members of the Gu Yuan Tribe were oppressed to the earth by the might of the heavenly tribulation, its power unpredictable and as imposing as a prison.

Despite being crushed to the ground by the heavenly might, there were still some tribe people who lifted their heads to gaze upon the Sky Vault above, eager to see who had provoked such divine wrath, yet they found no trace of any person.

In nearly the blink of an eye, the originally small expanse of dark clouds, merely a thousand zhang across, had tumultuously expanded to ten thousand zhang. Inside the pitch-black clouds, silver dragons twisted and roared.

Below the bronze tower at the center of the tribe, Mu Qing was shimmering with a purple-green divine light. In the entire tribe, she was the only one who could stand without being suppressed by the heavenly might.

Even the Grand Elder and the Third Elder, standing behind her, were spared the embarrassment under the tribulation’s severity only because of her protection.

"Why does the heavenly tribulation appear above our Gu Yuan Tribe?" The Grand Elder asked with concern, looking up at the lightning silver dragons that showed their fangs and claws in the Sky Vault.

His question was not his alone; many in the Gu Yuan Tribe were wondering why the heavenly tribulation had manifested above their own land.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing chuckled lightly and said, "It must be because my husband has broken through his seclusion and has ascended to the ninth heaven of the Towering Realm, the Legendary Realm. Heaven and earth have sensed his ascension, giving rise to the heavenly tribulation to test him."

What!

Hearing Mu Qing’s words, the two elders behind her were instantly filled with shock, momentarily forgetting the pressing might of the tribulation above them, their minds occupied solely by what Mu Qing had just said.

Ascending to the Legendary Realm!

"This heavenly tribulation has been triggered by the tribe chief’s ascension to the Legendary Realm!" The two elders exchanged glances, both reading excitement in the other’s eyes, along with a hint of worry.

The tribulation’s might was simply too overwhelming.

Meanwhile, at the Human Ancestral Court of Border Wasteland City.

A group of powerful individuals also felt the arrival of this majestic heavenly power.

Atop the Sacred Fire Shrine, the Ziyang Divine Marquis and Chunmu Old Ancestor, along with Elder Ming He and others, looked towards the rolling black clouds above the Bronze Ancient City.

"Destruction Tribulation!"

Looking at the oppressive black clouds, Ziyang Divine Marquis exclaimed.

"It has been ten thousand years, and our Border Wasteland Region has finally witnessed the birth of another legendary strong one," declared Chunmu Old Ancestor with an aged voice, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

"Legendary Realm, it seems that the Gu Yuan Tribe is truly going to become the Legendary Tribe now. Once again, a Legendary Marquis Department is born in the Border Wasteland, dominating a whole region."

"Good, good, good! Legendary strong ones, Legendary Tribe, they have the right to rule an entire region!"

The rise of Xiao Chen and the Gu Yuan Tribe was crystal clear to those present; a tribe that had been established for just over a decade was now stepping to the pinnacle of the Border Wasteland Region.

As the heavenly tribulation descended, and the skies darkened with dense clouds, lightning burst forth within them. The icy bolts shimmered with a bone-chilling aura, and the lightning dragons meandered through the clouds, projecting endless authority.

Not only that, but these dragon-like bolts of lightning transformed ceaselessly within the clouds. Silver lightning dragons exhibited endless metamorphosis, at times taking on the shapes of ancient Thunder Beasts’ shadows, or a Phoenix soaring to the heavens.

Within the Mountain River Seal, Xiao Chen had already consolidated his cultivation. He, too, sensed the external trial; with the unpredictable nature of heavenly might, naturally, he had to endure a tribulation.

Whoosh!

Within the Gu Yuan Tribe, a green silhouette, like a bolt of lightning, shot out of the city towards the distant desolate mountain forest. Since it was a tribulation, Xiao Chen naturally did not want to endure it within his own tribe, as who knew what losses might follow after the heavenly tribulation?

Xiao Chen’s figure headed toward the desolate mountain forest, with the tribulation clouds rapidly moving and persistently following him, a powerful presence pervading, a terrifyingly oppressive force descending on him.

Towering Realm’s ninth heaven, a step into the heavens, each level a tribulation, a hardship. The warriors atop the Border Wasteland were familiar with thunder tribulations. However, they had never seen one with such grandeur before.

However, once they recognized that the person summoning the tribulation was Xiao Chen, their hearts couldn’t help but feel a sense of ’So that’s how it is’. Only a strong one like Xiao Chen could face such a formidable test.

Xiao Chen stopped only when he was a hundred li away from the Bronze Ancient City.

From the moment he appeared below the Sky Vault, he had felt the presence of an indistinct will descending. In fact, even he was somewhat unclear whether the will within the heavenly tribulation was truly that of heaven and earth or that of the human race.

But now, having been appointed a Divine Marquis and blessed with the fortune of the human race, he was increasingly certain that the will arising from humanity also possessed life; it was perhaps another form of life, though he didn’t currently have the qualifications to speculate on it.

This was why Xiao Chen questioned whose might was truly at work within the heavenly tribulation.

But soon, Xiao Chen gathered his focus, for the tribulation was about to be unleashed.

This was the final trial of heaven and earth that a warrior in the Towering Realm must experience. Once this tribulation passed, he would have the qualifications to advance towards the Supreme.

Then, he would condense the laws, cultivate the Supreme Dao Fruit, and ascend to the Supreme Realm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, thunder blasted, and the dark clouds above his head burst open in the central position, instantly causing the dark clouds to churn. A lightning divine beast appeared in the massive, ten-thousand-foot tribulation cloud that had split open in the center.

This lightning divine beast had a single horn on its head, somewhat resembling a Kylin, yet somehow different, with purple lightning wings on its back, and eyes as large as Zi Yue, but they were closed.

Thunder Beast!

The mythical creature from the legendary Desolate Era, sole master of the Great Dao of Lightning, known as the nemesis of all evil demons under heaven.

At this moment, the Thunder Beast’s body was slowly pulled by chains of silver, creating a sound like clashing gold and iron, exuding an aura of destruction.

"Thunder and Lightning Law Divine Chains!"

Ziyang Divine Marquis’s eyes were filled with a grave expression. Even from a hundred miles away, he could still see the entire scene of Xiao Chen’s tribulation. The reason he didn’t approach closer was for fear of being affected by the thunder tribulation.

However, he did not expect that something so terrifying would appear at the start of Xiao Chen’s tribulation.

Xiao Chen too sensed the terrifying aura enveloping him, a rich air of destruction spilling out. He too had comprehended the Grand Dao of Thunder, even reaching the realm of perfect comprehension.

But in comparison to the profound mysteries within the thunder tribulation he was facing, his own comprehension of lightning was far less sufficient.

Boom!

Finally, from the horn of the Thunder Beast within the tribulation cloud, a silver lightning bolt struck down. The lightning roared as it arrived before Xiao Chen in an instant.

It was too fast!

Not to mention Xiao Chen, even those far away observing Xiao Chen’s tribulation were unable to keep up with the speed of this lightning bolt, and their expressions changed drastically!

With eyes sharp and cold, Xiao Chen too faced it head-on, raising his hand to slap down at the descending lightning. With a "puff" sound, he shattered the bolt of lightning into dozens of strands that shot towards the earth in all directions.

Suddenly, thunder blasted upon the earth.

Apart from those lightning strands that struck the surrounding earth, Xiao Chen absorbed one strand of silver lightning into his hand. However, this strand was far too small, not even one-thousandth of the size of the other shattered pieces.

But it was precisely this one-thousandth-sized strand of lightning that, once absorbed into Xiao Chen’s hand, immediately wrapped his entire arm in a silver net of electricity.

The reason why Xiao Chen absorbed this trace of lightning was that it bore a whiff of the aura of the Lightning Laws.

For a warrior to fully comprehend the profound mysteries, they need to evolve their perfect comprehension of these mysteries into true Great Dao Laws, which of course is extremely difficult.

Similarly, warriors first convert the mysteries they have comprehended into pseudo-laws and then gradually transform them into true laws step by step.

Although Xiao Chen’s comprehension of the Lightning Profound had already reached perfection, he was at a loss when it came to evolving it into laws or even pseudo-laws. Today’s thunder tribulation brought the appearance of the Thunder Beast, with true Lightning Laws emerging, which he naturally wouldn’t miss.

Even if it was just lightning tainted with a trace of the law’s essence, as long as he could comprehend and adopt it, the subsequent evolution of pseudo-laws would be much simpler.

Rumble!

At this moment, streaks of silver lightning descended one after another, cold and stern, each carrying a whiff of the law’s aura. This wasn’t the true law itself, but merely the trace of an aura spilled from the true law.

If it were to land on an ordinary warrior, just this whiff of aura would be enough to cause their bodies to explode.

Confronted with the falling lightning, Xiao Chen made no attempt to dodge. He shattered all of it with his hands, bathing in the lightning radiance with the strength of his Golden Battle Body.

He shattered each bolt of falling thunder, absorbing a trace from each into his body, attempting to sense the laws’ aura within them, much like unraveling a cocoon to draw out the thread.

His War Body was also scorched as if burnt soil, but Xiao Chen didn’t care. As he absorbed one whiff after another of the aura of Lightning Laws within him, his hands began to emit flickering sparks.

Lightning traced patterns as he reached out towards the falling thunder.

Countering lightning with lightning!

In Xiao Chen’s palm, strands of Lightning Profound emerged, their trails curving into semicircles. When the arcs closed to form a complete semicircular shape, it signaled the formation of a pseudo-law.

Clearly, Xiao Chen was still just shy of evolving the Lightning Profound into a pseudo-law.

In the clash between the two types of lightning, Xiao Chen was obviously at a disadvantage. Although both embodied destructive force, his power of destruction was overshadowed by the destructive force of the heavenly tribulation.

However, with each strand of lightning carrying a whiff of the law’s essence absorbed into his body, Xiao Chen’s Lightning Profound, as it evolved towards the pseudo-law, advanced one step further.

Thus stood Xiao Chen beneath the heavenly tribulation, relying on the resilience of his body, repelling each descending bolt of lightning. Similarly, almost inadvertently, he absorbed a strand of lightning into his body.

Though he seemed a bit ragged, the heavenly tribulation did not inflict much damage on him.

As more and more bolts of falling thunder were shattered, it finally enraged the heavenly tribulation. The eyes of the Thunder Beast within the tribulation cloud opened at this moment, two eyes of purple lightning devoid of any emotion.
