Chapter 1603

Boom—

The first bolt of thunder shook the heavens; beneath the dark clouds, silence was shattered.

The thunder pierced the dark clouds, illuminating the Mangshan Mountain Range below; after this thunder's roar came a flash of lightning—almost simultaneous, no, the lightning actually precedes the thunder, streaking across the sky before the thunder's sound follows, yet it continues to reverberate.

Unusual heavenly phenomena drew everyone's attention; they all lifted their heads, staring intently at the sky.

Under the Heavenly Tribulation, Diewumeng's silhouette gradually appeared, flying toward the sky; under the Heavenly Tribulation, her figure was so abrupt, so conspicuous, everyone looked at her; in that moment, amidst the gaze of all, Diewumeng spread her arms and hovered in midair.

To prevent the Mangshan Demon Palace from being destroyed, she chose to undergo the tribulation in the sky; at the same time, she wanted the demon kings below to clearly see how terrifying the Tribulation Realm's Heavenly Tribulation is, so they would know how to face it.

Heihu raised his head, staring at Diewumeng's silhouette, looked for a while, then said lowly: "Diewumeng this woman has come out; this time, I don't know if she will succeed."

The Heavenly Tribulation itself is a minor problem; the real threat lies outside, with tiger-eyed humans, the Corpse Refining Sect, Tian Du Men, the Accumulated Dust Sect, and the Heaven Sword Sect's people all having come, along with many human clans and the Dragonherd Clan—everyone who should come has come.

Over at the Myriad Demon Hall, there's been no movement yet, but soon there will be; this has only just begun, those people won't act rashly, they're all waiting, waiting for an opportunity to arrive, then they will strike directly to destroy Diewumeng's tribulation, causing her to fall under the Heavenly Tribulation.

It must be said, these humans are truly clever and fully understand the patterns of the Heavenly Tribulation—knowing when to act and when to intervene; they are crystal clear on this, they are not doing this for the first time, they have done so many times before.

This time, however, is just one of those occasions; humanity's study of the Heavenly Tribulation is highly proficient, and their talent for mischief is top-notch.

"Heihu, be careful, don't be careless; there are many enemies, this time we might truly have to fight to the death." Fengwang said in a low voice.

His gaze solemn, he sensed the people around him gradually approaching; they had not yet chosen to act, but once they did, it would be extremely terrifying; they must stop the enemies, stop all invading foes.

"Understood, Fengwang; when the time comes, no need for courtesy—however many come, we'll kill that many." Heihu said coldly with a dark face.

"And you, Lan Tiansheng, be ready to strike at any moment, unleash a killing spree."

Lan Tiansheng smiled: "No problem, I may not be good at other things, but assassination—I'm still very professional."

"Compared to killing, nobody is more professional than I am."

He needs human flesh and blood to boost his cultivation, also needs human inner elixirs; his whole body is good stuff, so he naturally doesn't mind killing a few more people.

Especially human Strong Ones—they are rare to encounter.

Lan Tiansheng hasn't killed a human Strong One in a long time; before, it was always them fighting among themselves, but this time is different.

He won't be like before, retreating at the crucial moment; having come this far, he cannot retreat.

"Good, remember your words." Heihu turned his gaze to the other side, sensing the Dragonherd Clan's intrusion; those people are rapidly approaching.

"The Dragonherd Clan has come, Lan Tiansheng, follow me to kill people; Fengwang, you stay here, Bai Xinlan will cooperate with you." Heihu gave the order; at such a time, naturally one obeys the strongest Heihu, Fengwang nodded and stared at the humans ahead.

Bai Xinlan also appeared; the Luotian White Snake Clan's people could act at any moment, and there are numerous demon beasts; this matter concerns the survival of the Mangshan Demon Palace, as well as each of them personally, so naturally they cannot stand by idly.

Boom—

The Heavenly Tribulation descended, and Diewumeng began her tribulation.

This Heavenly Tribulation had been brewing for a long time, and now it is finally about to descend.

Bang.

Diewumeng's body bore a bolt of thunder—no, actually, she dodged it, her body suffered no harm, but the scattered tribulation lightning still touched her body, causing…… no injury, yet it was still unpleasant.

The Heavenly Tribulation is the innate bane of demon beasts, and the thing they fear most, without exception.

Boom—

After a bolt of lightning, the subsequent Heavenly Tribulation located her and began a frantic bombardment.

Around Diewumeng, it became an ocean of lightning; the power of the Heavenly Tribulation covered the sky, turning the entire sky into a blue ocean.

Countless lightning bolts spread everywhere; the Heavenly Tribulation's power destroys everything, whether human or demon beast appearing in the sky, all will be indiscriminately attacked by the Heavenly Tribulation's force.

Inside Longshe Shan.

Qinglong Daoren stretched out his hand, touching the sky; that hand passed through the formation, felt the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, and his body began to flicker with tribulation lightning.

Soon, he retracted his right hand, on which residual tribulation lightning lingered, continually damaging his internal body, but it quickly recovered.

Qinglong Daoren remarked: "What tremendous tribulation lightning power; if his true body were here, he would surely love this tribulation lightning."

Circulating the Azure Dragon Canon, a lightning tattoo appeared on that monster pill; he grasped the Way of Lightning.

Actually, it was his true body that comprehended it; he, however, merely refined the tribulation lightning based on his true body's memory, enabling himself to grasp the Way of Lightning; as an Azure Dragon, he naturally should also master lightning, and to walk a different path he must have his own insight.

Following the Azure Dragon Clan's path does not suit him.

"The Way of Thunder has been comprehended; next, I need to absorb tribulation lightning to strengthen my tribulation lightning Way."

Qinglong Daoren walked out of Longshe Shan, left the formation, slowly hovered midair without being exposed to everyone's eyes; his whole body merged with the mountains and forests, the scattered tribulation lightning entered his body, gradually guiding it, without drawing anyone's attention.

Heishanyang appeared beside him, serving as his Dharma Protector, while also concealing Qinglong Daoren's whereabouts and masking his aura so others wouldn't notice this place; under normal circumstances it would surely attract attention, but now the tribulation lightning envelops at least half of the Mangshan Mountain Range, throwing everything into chaos, and here all sensory abilities lose their effect.

The weak dare not extend their perception, for the tribulation lightning would destroy their souls; demon beasts and humans alike do not wish to be tainted by it; of course, the stronger one's cultivation, the greater their resistance to the tribulation lightning, allowing them to gradually emanate Spiritual Sense, and this also varies according to each individual's situation, so the range they can perceive differs.

"This kid really likes adventure—how could tribulation lightning be so easy to absorb? Does he really think he's that pervert Chen Chuyang?"

"However, this Azure Dragon kid's idea is not bad; he has comprehended the Way of Thunder."

"If he continues to absorb and comprehend the Way of Tribulation Lightning, perhaps he could transform into the strongest Azure Dragon."

Mastering the Thunder Dragon and mastering the Tribulation Lightning Dragon are different.

The power of the tribulation lightning is, however, far more terrifying and rampant than thunder's power, and cannot be controlled.

However, Qinglong Daoren is different; like Chen Chuyang, he is a monster, able to control the power of heavenly tribulation, gradually using that power to temper his body and soul—truly insane.
