The blood-red tribulation clouds also began to roil about, forming a massive tribulation cloud vortex. The thunder energy that was gathering was sucked into the tribulation cloud vortex, making it appear even more powerful. However, underneath the tribulation clouds, Gu Tianyu and the others also felt a sense of pressure, as if all the spirit energy in the world had been sucked out, causing them to be unable to breathe, with the exception of Gu Tianyu.
However, these were all things that Gu Tianyu could ignore. Although the power of the heavenly tribulation could be said to be devastating for the others, Gu Tianyu did not feel any sense of oppression from the current realm of his cultivation.
In Gu Tianyu’s eyes, the power of the lightning in the whirlpool seemed to be more and more shocking. However, if it struck Gu Tianyu like this, then it could only be said to be a scratch for him and would not pose any threat. Thus, Gu Tianyu thought in his heart, “This legendary great heavenly tribulation is only so-so.”
Even so, for Long Yan and the others, they could not treat this great ninth heavenly tribulation as they would an abnormal old man like Gu Tianyu. For them, as long as they were careless, there was a possibility that their souls would scatter at any moment. Currently, this was only the first stage of the great ninth heavenly tribulation.
At this moment, Long Yan was still sitting cross-legged, but he had already unleashed the defense of the low grade immortal equipment that Gu Tianyu had given him earlier and placed it on his own head. Soon after, Long Yan had also returned to his original form, with his entire body covered in green feathers, a huge golden dragon head, and four golden claws.
However, Gu Cheng and his wife who hadn’t seen Long Yan’s true body, as well as the father and son of Han Li, couldn’t help but be startled when they saw his true appearance. Did they think that there weren’t any monsters?
However, at this moment, Gu Tianyu saw the astonishment of the four of them. He waved his hand and explained, “Father, Mother, Uncle, Third Brother, don’t find it strange. Actually, this is Big Brother Long Yan’s true body.”
Although they were all cultivators, they didn’t know much about the matters of the cultivation world. Ever since they started cultivating, they were basically the kind of people who closed their doors to cultivation, in other words, they were the kind of country bumpkins who paid no attention to external matters. Furthermore, they were busy with cultivation and didn’t have the time to go out and train, so they didn’t understand a lot of things.
“The first Celestial Tribulation has descended.” Gu Tianyu said as he stared at the bolt of lightning descending from the sky.
“Clang!” With a loud sound, the bolt of heavenly lightning struck Long Yan’s defensive immortal artifact. At this moment, the immortal artifact was warped by the heavenly lightning strike, but it quickly returned to its original form.
However, heavenly tribulation did not descend one after another. This was because gathering power from the tribulation clouds required a bit of time, so there was a time interval between each heavenly tribulation. That was to say, those tribulations could use this time to simply restore their own origin energy.
Just as the second clap of thunder was gathering, Gu Tianyu reminded Long Yan, “Big Brother, the power of the second clap of thunder is slightly greater than the first. You have to be careful.”
However, at this moment, Long Yan, who was still recovering, didn’t directly respond to Gu Tian Yu’s reminder. He only lightly nodded his head.
At this moment, the blood-red tribulation clouds were moving even faster. The waves of lightning energy gave Du Chengfeng and the others a sense of shock, obviously the second bolt of lightning was much more powerful than the first one. At this moment, the air trembled, and an even thicker and larger bolt of lightning descended from the sky, “Boom!” A loud sound rang out.
A blinding light scattered out, causing people to be unable to open their eyes. After being struck by the second bolt of lightning, the low-grade defensive immortal equipment seemed to be on the verge of collapse, as if it was not even able to withstand the next strike. Fortunately, the second bolt of lightning continued for a short while, and the defensive immortal equipment returned to its previous state.
Right now, Long Yan was using the low grade immortal defense equipment that Gu Tianyu had given him, as well as his own cultivation, to withstand the second heavenly tribulation. However, at this moment, Long Yan was quite pleased with himself as he thought to himself: “With this low grade immortal defense equipment given by Second Brother, the results will be different. In the future, after he ascends to the Immortal World, he will find some high grade materials and have Second Brother refine more for the others.”
At this time, the third bolt of lightning had already been fully accumulated, and it started to pour down ferociously once again. This time, it wasn’t so lucky. Unexpectedly, the defensive device was unable to withstand the third bolt of lightning and was finally smashed into smithereens.
And after the third bolt of thunder was blocked by the defensive immortal weapon, its power had clearly decreased by a great deal. Although the rest of it had landed on Long Yan’s body, it hadn’t dealt much damage to him.
Currently, the low-grade defensive immortal artifact that Gu Tianyu had given him had been completely destroyed by the heavenly lightning. The next few heavenly tribulations were all based on Long Yan’s own strength and cultivation in order to receive the following heavenly tribulations.
He had originally wanted to give a low-grade defensive immortal artifact to Long Yan in hopes of helping him suffer a few more heavenly tribulations, but he never thought that this damned low-grade defensive immortal artifact wouldn’t even be able to receive three bolts of heavenly lightning. He couldn’t help but curse in his heart, “Who the hell refined this defensive immortal artifact? It’s so disappointing.”
To be honest, Gu Tianyu and the others currently didn’t have any experience with tribulations. Before others went through the tribulation, they would usually set up several defensive arrays to resist the weaker heavenly thunders. When the defensive arrays were broken, they would then choose to use those defensive weapons to resist.
But now, Long Yan had only unilaterally used the low-grade defensive immortal artifact that Gu Tianyu had given him, so he didn’t set up any defensive arrays. This would have increased the direct attack of the heavenly thunder on the immortal equipment, which would now be even more difficult.
“There are still six heavenly tribulations that haven’t descended yet.” At this moment, Long Yan silently chanted in his heart.
The first three strikes of heavenly thunder were already so powerful, so the rest would definitely not be easy to deal with. Everyone thought to themselves that they were all worried about Long Yan’s following six strikes of heavenly tribulation.
Just as everyone was thinking, the blood-red cloud in the sky became denser, and the heavenly thunder continued to churn, continuously gathering power. At this moment, hundreds of thumb-sized bolts of lightning gathered together to form an even thicker bolt of lightning. This lightning was enough to make people tremble with fear, let alone receive the full power of the heavenly thunder.
At this time, they were already prepared for the arrival of the fourth heavenly tribulation with all their might. At this moment, they could only hear a crackling sound, and although it was softer than the sounds of the previous few times, at this moment, everyone knew that the strength of this time was definitely much greater than the ones from the previous three times.
At this moment, the pungent smell of burnt flesh continuously wafted out from Long Yan’s body. At this moment, the beautiful green feathers on Long Yan’s body no longer existed, and he was only able to see a nine-clawed dragon bird charred black all over. However, it was fortunate that Long Yan’s body was not injured at all.
Seeing this, Gu Tianyu couldn’t help but feel gratified for Long Yan, and thought, “Big Brother, the title of being a Level 1 mutated Divine Beast is not for sure. Since the fourth bolt of heavenly lightning was able to destroy his feathered armor, it did not cause much harm to his body. If he himself knew how to undergo heavenly tribulation, would he be able to withstand the attack of the fourth bolt of heavenly tribulation with just his body? ”
Not only that, he had forcefully struck Long Yan on the back. This time, Long Yan had suffered a loss because of this, but this time, it was not as easy as before. Now, his feathered armor had been destroyed by the fourth bolt of lightning, and this damned fifth bolt of lightning had descended without any preparation at all.
At this time, Long Yan opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. At this moment, his charred face didn’t show any expression, and only made everyone feel that it was a bit strange: “This fifth bolt of heavenly lightning had clearly struck Long Yan’s body, but since Long Yan didn’t fall down just like that, he just spat out a mouthful of blood?”
Gu Tian Yu also broke out in a cold sweat for him, but soon after, he seemed to have understood something. The corner of his mouth curved into a smile as he said, “Big brother, you have to focus all of your attention on the heavenly tribulation!”
He had truly underestimated the power of this tribulation. He had thought that he could rely on that low-grade immortal artifact to block this tribulation, but now, Long Yan calmed his heart and began to use his divine sense to observe the movements of the tribulation clouds in the sky.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. The sixth bolt of skythunder continued to fall, as if it was purposefully challenging the patience of another. It made everyone feel impatient.
It was also at this moment that Long Yan, who had been waiting impatiently for this entire time, yelled out somewhat impatiently, “God dammit, what kind of joke are you playing?!” If you want to come, then hurry up, don’t dilly-dally any longer! ”
However, the blood-red tribulation cloud was currently very strange and unpredictable. It was sometimes concentrated, sometimes dissipated, and the color had also evolved into that ink-black during the process of dissipation. It was just like a large inkstone hanging in the sky, and it could fall down and smash onto one’s body at any time.
Suddenly, a bolt of tribulation lightning pierced through Mo Dou and rushed down from within. The tribulation lightning was hidden behind the tribulation clouds and was unceasingly gathering its power! A sudden attack, and its speed was much faster than the heavenly lightning bolts from before. It could be said to be a terrifying speed!
With a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, the purple cone of thunder directly struck the head of Long Yan! The faster the speed, the greater the power it could generate! However, the current Long Yan was no longer simply spitting out blood. Rather, he could be described as spitting out blood!
The bright red blood fog was dazzling! Long Yan was already severely injured. Now, Long Yan had already used his own true essence to resist the sixth thunder tribulation. But this time, his strength was several times stronger than the fifth thunder tribulation.
Fortunately, Long Yan’s main body, as well as the level one divine beast’s superb defense, had now appeared, forcing his dantian’s nascent soul to tightly gather together. Right now, his internal organs were only severely injured, and the attack of this powerful purple awl lightning had also helped Long Yan activate the sealed memory in his mind. And at this moment, this soul memory constantly provided him with a large amount of information about his tribulation.
