Chapter 38: Breaking Through to the Planet Stage! Is Di Jun About to Go Mad?

Lu Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

He sensed the power of the ninth tribulation lightning, and a trace of fear could not help but arise in his heart.

He knew that having the Roaming Dragon Immortal Armor was no longer enough to guarantee he could handle this final tribulation lightning; he had to make other decisions, otherwise, he would absolutely suffer dire consequences.

At this critical juncture, Lu Yun was still exerting his Life Origin Power to the fullest, attempting to break through to the Planet Stage at the last moment and use that slight edge to block this ultimate tribulation lightning.

High in the sky, Di Jun, hidden within the River Chart and Luo Book, also sensed the terrifying power of this ninth tribulation lightning at this moment.

"This Human Race member is truly not simple!"

Even Di Jun had never seen any creature in the Great Desolation attract such a powerful Immortal Ascension Tribulation! He became even more determined to capture Lu Yun, because he believed this Human Race member was by no means an ordinary person, and capturing him would allow him to grasp more secrets.

"Boom—!"

The power of the ninth tribulation lightning was almost unimaginable; like a cannon breaking through the void, it struck straight at Lu Yun! "Elephant Shield!"

Lu Yun once again activated his defensive Supernatural Power.

But in just an instant, the elephant-shaped defense he formed shattered with a roar once more.

"Hum—!"

The Roaming Dragon Immortal Armor exerted its defensive power again, further weakening the tribulation lightning.

However, this tribulation lightning was naturally not so easy to resist.

The Roaming Dragon Immortal Armor only held on for a moment before it shattered directly and was completely ruined! Just at this hair-breadth moment—

"Hum—!"

Lu Yun finally succeeded in breaking through and reached the Planet Stage! A brand-new life force surged within his body, kicking up a violent wind and transforming into a powerful aura that suddenly resisted the tribulation lightning.

"Crackle, crackle..."

Countless electric sparks shot out, crazily sweeping toward the surroundings.

The Thunder Origin Talisman on Lu Yun's body was frantically converting the power of the tribulation lightning, but it could not fully consume this terrifying power at all; it only managed to convert a portion of it, which immediately transformed into Life Origin Power and was transported to every part of Lu Yun's body.

The remaining tribulation lightning power crazily destroyed Lu Yun's physical body, but the Life Origin Power converted by the Thunder Origin Talisman continuously repaired it.

Lu Yun was in the midst of an extreme struggle; this ninth tribulation lightning had almost pushed him to the abyss.

Just at this stalemate, Di Jun, high in the sky, finally made his move.

"Whoosh!"

He suddenly transformed into a streak of golden light and descended from the sky, intending to seize the opportunity to abduct Lu Yun.

However, at this moment, Houtu also sensed it, and she shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

The moment her voice rang out, she unleashed her Dharma Aspect of Heaven and Earth, her figure suddenly growing larger, instantly reaching a thousand feet in height.

She took a step forward, appearing directly beside Lu Yun, and struck out with a palm at Di Jun from the air!

"Boom!"

This palm erupted with brilliant earthy-yellow divine light, as if it could split everything apart.

Di Jun reacted extremely quickly and immediately dodged Houtu's attack.

However, this action also affected his speed in abducting Lu Yun.

Although he tried to bypass Houtu again to snatch Lu Yun, Houtu frantically activated her Supernatural Power, even sacrificing her own defense to protect Lu Yun.

Such an action naturally made Di Jun believe even more that this Human Race member definitely had something special! Di Jun naturally refused to give up, so he simply decided to suppress Houtu first before snatching Lu Yun away! The fierce battle between the two great powerhouses instantly began.

The intense collision shook the heavens and the earth!

At this time, Lu Yun was trapped in extreme danger, at a life-or-death juncture.

He gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength into one place, and went head-to-head with the ninth tribulation lightning.

His physical body nearly collapsed several times, but he persevered through it with difficulty. Just when he felt he could no longer hold on—

The Battle Puppet on his body appeared instantly, directly erupting with its greatest power.

"Boom!"

The tribulation lightning finally dissipated!

For a time, the world was silent.

Lu Yun had finally succeeded in his Tribulation Transcendence! Even Houtu and Di Jun, who were in the midst of battle, temporarily ceased their fighting at this moment and both turned their gazes toward Lu Yun.

They saw the rolling dust gradually settle; Lu Yun stood in place, as if reborn from nirvana, his entire body radiating the aura of an Earth Immortal.

Seeing that Lu Yun had successfully transcended the tribulation, Houtu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but a sharp glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes, and his figure suddenly split into two, both flying toward Lu Yun simultaneously.

"Oh no!"

Houtu's expression changed, but for a moment, she could not distinguish which of the two Di Juns was real.

Di Jun's speed was too fast, so much so that she had no time to think and could only subconsciously strike out at one of the Di Juns! "Boom!"

Houtu's Dharma Aspect body blocked the figure of one Di Jun.

Her heart leaped with joy because she discovered that the one she had blocked was Di Jun's true self; she had chosen correctly! But before she could rejoice for long, she suddenly saw a playful smile appear on Di Jun's face.

Houtu's heart sank, and she turned around abruptly, only to see the other Di Jun figure, who had just arrived near Lu Yun, had transformed directly into Di Jun's Spiritual Treasure, the River Chart, emitting a beam of treasure light that enveloped Lu Yun on the ground below!

The next moment, Lu Yun's figure was directly taken away by the River Chart!

Houtu immediately reached out to tear through space, grabbing toward the River Chart.

But at this moment, a golden light flashed, and Di Jun suddenly intercepted her Dharma Aspect, while also letting out a cold laugh: "You trash Ancestral Witches who cannot use Spiritual Treasures will never know the wonders of magical treasures!"

Houtu was furious, but before she could do anything, she saw the River Chart flying away rapidly.

Di Jun also suddenly retreated, flying toward the firmament at an astonishing speed.

"Stay here!"

Houtu roared, her Dharma Aspect surging again, while the power of the Earth Great Dao Law soared into the sky, resembling a terrifying giant sword, sweeping toward Di Jun!

The corners of Di Jun's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"Hum—!"

His other Luo Book instantly raised a magnificent barrier in the air, blocking Houtu's frantic attack.

Although this barrier was eventually shattered by Houtu's attack, he took this opportunity to rapidly ascend once more, pushing the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique to its limit, and vanished from Houtu's field of vision in an instant!

At that very moment, two equally massive figures approached rapidly from the distance.

They were none other than the two Ancestral Witches, Dijiang and Xizi.

It turned out that they had been fighting in the distance when they suddenly sensed a battle occurring on Houtu's side; feeling that something was wrong, they immediately shook off Taiyi's entanglement and rushed back toward Houtu at top speed.

As a result, when they arrived, they happened to see Di Jun fleeing.

Dijiang appeared by Houtu's side immediately and asked nervously, "Little sister, are you alright?"

Xizi appeared right behind him, looking at Houtu with equal nervousness.

At this moment, they were absolutely furious, never expecting that they would be tricked by the fellows of the Demon Race.

Houtu, however, suddenly smiled and said, "I'm fine; on the contrary, that Di Jun is probably going to be driven mad this time!"

Hearing this, Dijiang and Xizi were both stunned, looking at Houtu with some confusion.

Houtu then suddenly pointed at the ground.

Immediately, a Law Divine Light emerged from below, and Lu Yun's figure popped out from the earth.
