Chapter 614: At the End of One's Tether

Facing this manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, it was truly awe-inspiring, making people feel a sense of horror at the sight.

Although he had also heard Nine Shadows True Monarch mention matters regarding surviving tribulations when he was preaching, other aspects were no longer useful to him given his current conditions! The most useful point was that Nine Shadows True Monarch had once said that the power of thunder tribulations goes from weak to strong.

So Lin Zhangqing prepared to use his body as a body cultivator to take the first lightning bolt head-on when the thunder tribulation just started.

He believed he had a high probability, although he would be slightly injured, he could definitely take it.

However, the thunder tribulation in the sky didn't give him too much time to consider. With a flash of lightning, a golden lightning bolt

slammed down directly at him. Afterward, Lin Zhangqing heard a loud "Boom!" sound, but at this moment, he likely didn't have time to pay attention to these things.

This golden lightning bolt was the Geng Metal Divine Thunder he was most familiar with, but its power was much stronger than what he himself could emit! The three-layer Five Elements Hunyuan Shield he condensed only played a

small role in blocking and weakening it.

The vast majority of the remaining power slammed onto Lin Zhangqing's body. Although he was now a Third-Stage body cultivator,

a cloud of blood mist immediately exploded on his body, and he was directly torn and mangled, and he also spat out a large mouthful of black-red blood.

By this time, Lin Zhangqing finally let out a sigh of relief. Through personal trial, he finally knew the approximate power of this thunder tribulation! Don't look at his miserable appearance now; most of it was just skin trauma, and the stagnant blood in his body had also been spat out by him just now!

He immediately took two Spring Return Pills, then quickly handled the wounds on his body,

and then sacrificed three Second-Stage lower-grade defensive spiritual artifacts, preparing to welcome the second lightning bolt! He prepared to start using these defensive spiritual artifacts from the Second-Stage lower-grade ones, trying his best to save the high-quality spiritual artifacts for later.

Lin Zhangqing knew from Nine Shadows True Monarch the time interval between two lightning bolts during tribulation.

It was about thirty-six breaths, so he had to make good use of this time period.

At this moment, the second Geng Metal Divine Thunder also slammed down, immediately shattering all the defensive spiritual artifacts he had strung together in front of him.

And the remaining power of the divine thunder also pierced through two layers of the Five Elements Hunyuan Shield, and was finally completely blocked by the third layer of the Hunyuan Shield.

The second divine thunder was taken by him without any harm, which greatly increased Lin Zhangqing's confidence! Next, the third and fourth Geng Metal Divine Thunders consumed a total of seven Second-Stage middle-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.

Plus the ones consumed by the second divine thunder, a total of ten Second-Stage artifacts were all scrapped! Next, the fifth divine thunder consumed three Second-Stage middle-grade spiritual artifacts, the sixth was four pieces, and the seventh and eighth divine thunders were five and six pieces.

By the time the ninth Geng Metal Divine Thunder came, Lin Zhangqing, according to his experience, used seven Second-Stage middle-grade defensive spiritual artifacts to top it off.

He hadn't expected that he would directly suffer a big loss this time, because the divine thunder of the tribulation every nine would increase in power significantly.

He hadn't reacted at all; the seven defensive spiritual artifacts above his head, as well as the three layers of the Five Elements Hunyuan Shield, were shattered instantly!

And the tribulation divine thunder, with at least thirty percent of its remaining power, slammed directly onto his body, and then another cloud of blood mist exploded on his body.

If it weren't for him being a Third-Stage body cultivator, he would likely have died and fallen right then and there!

However, his situation now wasn't much better. Now he had been blasted into the mud by the tribulation divine thunder.

And he was seriously injured. At this moment, Lin Zhangqing looked up at the sky and discovered that the tribulation cloud in the sky hadn't dissipated.

On the contrary, its scale was even more massive, and within a very short period of time, it had expanded to an area of thirty-plus miles.

A dense, pitch-black expanse made people standing underneath feel even more oppressed and desperate!

He knew that at this moment, he couldn't hesitate or give up, so he quickly gathered his spirits.

He sacrificed two Second-Stage upper-grade spiritual artifacts and condensed ten layers of the Five Elements Hunyuan Shield, topping them over his head.

The defensive spiritual artifacts likely weren't enough; now he could only consume mana to condense the Hunyuan Shield to increase his defensive power!

"Boom!"

A golden lightning bolt slammed down again. Lin Zhangqing understood as soon as he saw it; the Second-Nine Thunder Tribulation was still the Geng Metal Divine Thunder known for its sharpness.

The two defensive spiritual artifacts he had set up above his head were directly shattered, and the ten layers of the Five Elements Hunyuan Shield were also broken by three layers, leaving only two layers!

Lin Zhangqing compared and sensed it, discovering that the power of this tribulation divine thunder was about twice as large as the first thunder tribulation.

Only then did he have a plan in mind. He took two more Spirit Recovery Pills. There was no other way; taking so many pills in a short period of time,

he could only spend more time in the future to refine and exclude the pill poison, but now he had to save his life first!

So he sacrificed two more defensive spiritual artifacts to top it off, and the Five Elements Hunyuan Shield also increased to six layers!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After the seventh Geng Metal Divine Thunder of the Second-Nine Thunder Tribulation, all the defensive spiritual artifacts on Lin Zhangqing's body had been completely consumed! Even the precious Five Elements Thunder-Repelling Umbrella was shattered by the tribulation divine thunder just now, and Lin Zhangqing had even suffered a bit more injury.

Now he was at the end of his tether. However, the thunder tribulation wouldn't pity him, so the eighth Geng Metal Divine Thunder slammed down again!

There was no other way; he could only condense ten layers of the Five Elements Hunyuan Shield and activated the Two Polarities Breath Absorption Array.

"Boom!"

The shield broke, and the formation also broke, and the tribulation divine thunder still had at least thirty percent of its power left, slamming onto Lin Zhangqing's body, directly blasting him into the mud.

Now his body was already tattered. It wasn't just skin and flesh torn and stained red with blood!

It was also pitch-black wounds left behind after being struck by the tribulation divine thunder and severely burned.
