Chapter 2152 - 2152 2142 Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation

2152: Chapter 2142: Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation 2152: Chapter 2142: Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Long Yan waited until the numbness on his body had dissipated and then sat up from the ground, rubbing his wrists which had turned somewhat pale from the long lack of blood circulation.

This battle could be called a lucky escape; Long Yan had nearly bit the dust.

Long Yan patted the dust off his body but did not hear Long Cai’er’s voice for a long time.

Turning around, he was truly startled by Long Cai’er’s condition.

Now Long Cai’er’s body was cracked all over, the once colorful scales had fallen to the ground, and in some places the flesh was turned inside out.

If it weren’t for the faint breath still present, Long Yan would have thought Long Cai’er had died.

The fallen colorful scales had transformed into a colorful barrier that protected Long Cai’er’s body within it, and Long Yan noticed that the cracked areas on Long Cai’er’s body were faintly emitting Golden Light.

This scene made Long Yan recall a widely spread legend in the Star Domain: Pythons and snakes are two different creatures, pythons are massive and strong, while snakes are generally venomous.

Although they look similar, they belong to different species.

They should each have their own advantages, but generally a python is considered a level above a snake, whether in the Cultivation Base of a Demon Cultivator or in combat ability.

A python is superior because it can turn into a Jiao; those capable of such transformation are exceedingly rare in this world.

However, Long Cai’er was different, and Long Yan had desperately tried to recall which python clan Long Cai’er belonged to.

But the result was that Long Yan, whether searching within the Nine Suns Techniques or recalling from The Classics he had read before, did not know Long Cai’er’s species.

So Long Yan felt that Long Cai’er’s current state might indicate it was transforming into a Jiao, and even in his past life, he had never seen a python snake do so, and thus he also did not know how to help Long Cai’er.

Watching Long Cai’er’s expression of agony, all Long Yan could do was silently pray for him in his heart.

As for the reason behind Long Cai’er’s sudden transformation into a Jiao, it surely had to do with its clan, and today Long Yan had unintentionally comprehended the Time Principle, which had unexpectedly stimulated Long Cai’er’s dormant Bloodline.

The originally gloomy sky had instead brightened up, but countless Electric arcs were faintly streaking across the sky, a Heavenly Phenomenon, further convincing Long Yan of his idea.

“Ancestor Master, look, there’s a Heavenly Phenomenon emerging in the Swamp of Death.”

Blood Sha respectfully reported to the old man seated above, Elder Xuehe.

Since Blood Maple’s death, the reclusive Elder Xuehe had no choice but to take up the reins of power in the Blood Sect once again until a new Sect Leader could be found.

In his view, the current Blood Sect had declined.

Among all the Disciples within the Sect, he found none satisfactory except for Blood Sha, who stood before him.

So, he simply let Blood Sha stay by his side, occasionally guiding his Cultivation.

Perhaps it was because of his encounter with Long Yan that Elder Xuehe felt his concept of genius had been thoroughly revised.

“Oh?”

Though the Blood Sect seemed in decline in the eyes of Elder Xuehe, it must be said, their construction speed and availability of funds far exceeded Elder Xuehe’s expectations.

Given the right resources, Strong Ones can indeed be cultivated.

The tall building Elder Xuehe was currently in had been constructed by the many Disciples of the Blood Sect overnight, and Elder Xuehe slowly made his way over to the window.

A significant Heavenly Phenomenon was occurring in the far-off Swamp of Death, and upon sighting the continuous streaks of Electric arcs through the sky, a flicker of terror passed through Elder Xuehe’s murky pupils.

The scene before him was exactly the same as it had been hundreds of years ago, with the wind howling and dark clouds covering the sky.

This was the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation for a God King stepping into the Divine Emperor realm.

The tribulation lightning was divided into nine layers, each more formidable than the last, but each layer of tribulation lightning would significantly enhance the strength of the one who endured it.

By the time the nine layers of tribulation lightning were over, one would have stepped into the Realm of the Divine Emperor.

Nobody would live within the Swamp of Death; this was common knowledge to all disciples in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Therefore, the only possibility was that within this Swamp of Death, the one undergoing tribulation was a Wild Immortal with substantial cultivation.

Elder Xuehe sighed softly.

It seemed that a true hegemon was about to emerge in the Swamp of Death.

Blood Sha could not read the expression on Elder Xuehe’s face and simply followed him, turning into the inner house.

Not far away, dark clouds had swept over the entire sky, and the clear vision of electric arcs leapt incessantly within the clouds.

This Heavenly Phenomenon made all living beings residing in the Swamp of Death retract into their nests.

The Human-faced bird and Soul-snatching centipede, both considered hegemonic, one hiding in the shrubs, the other burrowing underground, did not dare to come out.

Long Yan, seeing that the sky looked ominous, had no choice but to channel all of his remaining True Qi into the colorful barrier.

His figure retreated explosively, maintaining a safe distance from Long Cai’er.

The Seven-color Barrier, as if recognizing Long Yan, merged all of the True Qi he had transferred into itself.

The dark clouds in the sky began to deepen, and like this, the first tribulation lightning began.

A blue flash of light struck the Seven-color Light Shield with incredible speed, its formidable presence so intense that Long Yan struggled to keep his eyes open.

The first tribulation lightning struck the barrier with a crisp sound, but the seven-color scales that even the Array Clan’s Sacred Artifact, the Qilin Blood Demon Gun, couldn’t penetrate, made this first tribulation seem almost child’s play.

From within the tribulation, countless points of light merged into Long Cai’er’s body, healing some of the cracked places.

The barrier’s Brilliant Light triumphed instantly, a reward for withstanding the first tribulation lightning.

However, what made the tribulation lightning terrifying was not the first one; each subsequent layer of tribulation would exponentially grow in strength.

Therefore, Long Cai’er’s successful endurance of the first tribulation wasn’t something to be overly joyous about.

The dark clouds in the sky continued to accumulate, and a hot sensation spread through the air.

Thunderous roars kept emanating from within the clouds, which were still brewing the next tribulation lightning.

With a few breath cycles, the second tribulation lightning thunderously descended.

In terms of might and size, it was much larger and more powerful than the first tribulation.

The moment the tribulation lightning intersected with the colorful barrier, the barrier shook violently, but in an instant, the Brilliant Light of the barrier surged, blocking this second wave of tribulation lightning, the surrounding air seeming to solidify.

The robust tribulation lightning transformed into numerous blue points of light that drilled into Long Cai’er’s body.

The light of the Seven-color Barrier, due to the infusion of the blue points of light, began to gather once more after having previously dimmed.

Long Cai’er’s body continued to mend, and at this time, Long Yan couldn’t afford to idle either.

He sat down cross-legged on the ground, incessantly restoring his own True Qi, and as soon as it was condensed, immediately channeled it into Long Cai’er’s body.

Normally, in the midst of tribulation lightning, outside help is not allowed.

But now, Long Yan had formed a Contract with Long Cai’er, with Long Cai’er serving as Long Yan’s Immortal Pet, so this form of assistance was not particularly problematic.

The third tribulation was gathering in the shadows.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation was divided into three phases, each consisting of several smaller tribulations.

The strength of the tribulation would multiply with each phase, and now tears of light were already faintly shimmering in the sky.

The next tribulation was upon them.
