Chapter 891 Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors
The huge lightning beasts were slashed apart by Long Chen one by one. Each one of them was killed in just one blow.
“Blooddrinker, you really are amazing!” Long Chen was delighted by Blooddrinker. As long as he gave it the slightest bit of his spiritual yuan, Blooddrinker would release its specific sharp aura. The terrifying lightning beasts were easily cut down.
Now Blooddrinker had truly awoken. Long Chen hadn’t even known that it was so powerful before. Each bit of his spiritual yuan was being transformed into killing power. This weapon that had come from the Barbarian race’s expert was definitely extraordinary.
As Long Chen killed the lightning beasts, Lei Long was behind him taking advantage. When they were cut down, before their runes could scatter, it would devour them in one gulp.
These huge lightning beasts contained incomparably pure thunderforce. If those previous lightning beasts were likened to rice, then these huge beasts were like meat to Lei Long.
Long Chen swept through the air, blood-colored saber-images flashing in the sky. Each attack killed a lightning beast.
Sometimes there would be too many lightning beasts for Long Chen to handle, and Lei Long would swing its tail, knocking them back and giving Long Chen space. In this manner, Long Chen’s dominance could not be stopped. It had been a long time since Long Chen had felt this satisfying feeling of using all his power to attack with a heavy weapon.
“Big brother Long Chen is amazing!” cried Xiao Fei. He had always treated Long Chen as his idol. He hoped to become a domineering expert like him one day.
Who cared about heavenly tribulation? Who cared about the Heavenly Daos? Even in front of heavenly tribulation, Long Chen wasn’t afraid. He was fighting against the very heavens, forcing them to submit to him.
The other experts were affected by his imposingness and clenched their fists, their own hot blood surging.
They had been suppressed here by the Heavenly Daos for countless years. Moreover, they had to face the scheming, robbing, and killing of the invaders. They had long since grown dissatisfied with this world.
But they didn’t have the bravery to fight against the heavens. They were dissatisfied, but they didn’t dare fight. However, Long Chen’s display showed them what a true domineeringness was.
His domineeringness even caused those old seniors to feel a passion they hadn’t felt in many, many years. Each lightning beast he killed was like another shackle he broke through. He advanced dauntlessly.
“I want to fight the heavens too! I’ll exterminate these merciless and unfair Heavenly Daos. Whatever tries to stop me, I’ll cut them down...!” Suddenly, a young Sea Expansion expert began to shout. He came from the Stone tribe, and he had drunk with Long Chen quite a few times. His eyes were red, and he charged out, startling everyone.
That person had only just flown out when the Stone tribe’s leader slapped the back of his head, making him collapse on the ground.
“Just watch! Don’t get drawn in too deeply. Being domineering and being suicidal are two different concepts. Long Chen is domineering now, but if you went, you’d be suicidal!” he shouted. He felt a bit helpless. The Stone tribe’s warriors all possessed one-track minds. Having drunk and laughed with Long Chen before, they found him to be their kind of people, and they were now like brothers. Hence, they were receiving the greatest influence from Long Chen. It was unknown whether that foolish fellow hadn’t sobered up from his drinking for him to actually want to charge into Long Chen’s tribulation to fight against the heavens.
“The Heavenly Daos can’t be opposed? The Heavenly Daos can’t be disobeyed? Perhaps that’s not true for all people…”Lord Heaveneye looked at Long Chen. He extended his hands and touched his middle finger to his thumb several times. It seemed he was calculating something, but in the end, he sighed and pulled back his hands.
“Heavens, are those people also monsters?! They’re also killing the lightning beasts in one attack.”
While their attention was drawn to Long Chen, they forgot about the four mysterious experts. They were slaughtering the lightning beasts as well. And just like Long Chen, each time they attacked, a lightning beast would definitely fall.
“Just who are they?”
“These people have been sent here specifically to undergo their tribulations. They want to absorb as much thunderforce as possible. My guess is that they finished condensing their initial seas from wherever they came from, and then were sent here by supreme experts to absorb more thunderforce to temper their bodies to the greatest level. Then they’ll return to their world. Their goal should be the laws present within the Immemorial Path’s tribulation lightning. Perhaps the most valuable thing in the Immemorial Path is the tribulation lightning during the spiritual qi eruption!” said lord Heaveneye. He looked at those four mysterious figures with a complicated expression.
Here, the aboriginals were like trapped birds, while the Immemorial Path was their cage. They were treated like criminals. Others could come and go, taking their resources, while they could only endure in silence.
These four people hadn’t just come to steal the resources; even their tone toward everyone here was full of disdain as well. It made the aboriginals furious, but they were also powerless.
“Idiots, can you be a bit faster? I’ve been waiting for you all day.” Long Chen’s voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to look over and see him standing atop a lightning dragon’s head, a blood-colored saber resting on his shoulder. The lightning dragon was now eight miles long.
“Foolish ant, you are provoking us-!”
“Shut up. Hurry up and kill them. The next wave of the tribulation won’t come until you do,” shouted Long Chen.
“You!” That voice seemed to be coming through clenched teeth.
But before he could say any more words, the sky trembled. Countless human-shaped lightnings fell from the sky.
“Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors? How is this possible?!” Lord Heaveneye was shocked.
“What are they?”
“The Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors are rumored to only appear in an extremely terrifying lightning tribulation. Each of those human-shaped lightnings possesses their own intelligence. They are created when experts fail their tribulations, and their soul essence is drawn away by them. In truth, each of these warriors is an expert, with an expert’s battle experience. They’re completely different from those mindless beasts,” said lord Heaveneye gravely.
This was something none of the others had heard of. These lightning warriors actually possessed their own combat experience?
Just as they were filled with shock, Long Chen had already exchanged blows with one of those lightning warriors. He had already met these human-shaped lightnings last time. They were formed entirely of lightning runes, but they were like real people. Even the lines on their armor were clear.
When his saber met the lightning warrior’s spear, sparks flew. He didn’t manage to cut through its weapon. At the same time, the other lightning warriors attacked. Lei Long opened its mouth and devoured dozens of them. But as a result, as soon as it swallowed them, their weapons pierced out of its body, and they charged out.
Lei Long’s body was huge, but in terms of how solid its body was, it was a far cry from these lightning warriors. It couldn’t devour them. Even if it could block them, it would be attacked. Lei Long was infuriated but unable to cause any effective damage to them.
“Divine ring! Four Star Battle Armor!”
At this time, Long Chen couldn’t keep holding back. His divine ring appeared behind him, and four stars circulated in his eyes. His spiritual yuan poured into Blooddrinker, and Blood-colored light erupted.
“Whirlwind Slash!” Long Chen spun, and Saber Qi blossomed like a flower. It devoured everything around him. The lightning warriors closest to him were all killed, while the others were knocked back.
He killed over a hundred of them in one blow. Bu
t that didn’t make him the slightest bit happy. He saw that these lightning warriors all knew how to dodge and defend. They weren’t much different from real people. In fact, when they had tried dodging just now, there had been hints of Battle Skills being used by them.
Long Chen told Lei Long not to fight. It was just in charge of devouring the remnant lightning runes from when the lightning warriors were killed. Those were most important.
“Split the Heavens!”
Long Chen repeatedly attacked. He used Split the Heavens three times, killing waves of those lightning warriors. Their lightning runes were crazily devoured by Lei Long.
Long Chen was getting more and more shocked. Even when he was releasing all his power, he still felt a great deal of pressure. These lightning warriors were truly powerful, even stronger than ordinary rank three Celestials.
While he fought them, up in the void, the four mysterious men panicked. The level of their lightning tribulations had exceeded their expectations.
They had come here to absorb the remnant immortal aura that lay within this world’s lightning tribulation. This remnant immortal aura was hidden deep within the Immemorial Path, and the outside world didn’t have it. Each time the spiritual qi eruption occurred, the immortal aura would merge into the lightning tribulation. Hence, their goal had been to absorb that trace of immortal aura as preparations for their breakthrough.
But they hadn’t expected that incurring the wrath of what they had thought to be an ant-like existence would lead to a change in their heavenly tribulations. They were actually forced into the same tempo and intensity of tribulation as Long Chen.
“Hmph, ignorant ant, I’ll show you what it means for there to always be heaven beyond the heavens, a height you couldn’t attain even if you cultivated for millennia!”
The four people in the divine flames suddenly released multicolored runes, forming a vague barrier around them. At the same time, a terrifying pressure caused the sky to quake.
Chapter 892 Ancient Heroic Spirits
The four people wrapped in divine flames suddenly began to release energy fluctuations. It was impossible to tell what kind of secret art they were using, but the terrifying pressure even came through the barrier of divine flames.
The only things possible to see were those four figures flashing into motion and the Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors beginning to explode. That scene caused people to be dumbfounded. Just who were these four?
“As expected, they have to be heavenly geniuses at that level, or no one would have paid the price to break through the walls between worlds and send them here.” Countless runes began to appear in lord Heaveneye’s white eyes. He stared into the spatial cyclone in the air.
That was where the barrier between worlds had been broken. There had to be experts on the other side maintaining it, making sure it didn’t close before the lightning tribulation ended.
Long Chen also sensed the change happening over there, but he didn’t care. Everything was going according to his expectations. He sensed how terrifying those four were. They were experts on a level he had never seen before.
They had a kind of aura that made it so even he found it hard to breathe. As soon as they appeared, they had displayed their tyranny, even causing Yue Xiaoqian to be injured.
Long Chen clearly knew that they were powerful beyond his imagination, but once he got angry, he never cared about such things. He would make these arrogant idiots pay a price.
They wanted to undergo tribulation? Then they could go ahead and undergo tribulation. Each time Long Chen had to go through tribulation, he had to fight against terrible odds. Bringing a few powerful companions with him would make it much more fun. He wanted to see if these four peerless geniuses could block his heavenly tribulation.
In fact, Long Chen even thought of a certain thing. At the beginning of the tribulation, he noticed that their heavenly tribulations had been nourishing them, as if doting on them with care.
This proved beyond a doubt that these four were definitely the favorites of the heavens. They had to be even stronger Celestials and received the heavens’ pampering. But he, Long Chen, was the target the heavens wanted dead.
Now that he was undergoing tribulation with them, he wanted to see what the heavenly tribulation would choose.
Would it still mercilessly slaughter the four of them to kill him? Or would it let him off because of the four of them?
However, up to now, it seemed that the heavenly tribulation had chosen to kill him. It hadn’t hesitated just because of those four favorites. It seemed that it wanted to kill them all together. Since that was the case, he was at ease.
An intense battle shook the void. There were five battlefields with intense slaughter where thunder and lightning shook the land. Those four experts had clearly released their full power against the Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors.
There were tens of thousands of lightning warriors, and each time one was killed, another would take its place. Long Chen was doing his best to kill them, but his arms were now numb, and he was constantly being injured.
There were just too many of them, and they possessed all kinds of attack methods. Some were fierce and head-on, while some were sly and crafty. Each one had their own techniques, and being surrounded by this many of them, strategy was useless. The only thing to do was to go all-out.
The fortunate thing was that the huge forest in his primal chaos space provided him with enough life energy. Thus, all his injuries were instantly healed.
Yue Xiaoqian clenched her fists as she watched Long Chen. She was filled with worry, because she saw that what Long Chen had released was just a Xiantian cultivation base. He hadn’t condensed his initial sea.
Without condensing his initial sea, his spiritual yuan hadn’t changed much. How was he supposed to keep up with such a terrifying consumption of energy?
The other experts also saw through the clues, but they didn’t dare say anything. Furthermore, saying anything now didn’t have any meaning. They could only pray for Long Chen, hoping he could create a miracle.
The only thing that comforted Long Chen was that Lei Long was continuously growing as he slaughtered the lightning warriors. Their runes were all devoured by it, and as long as it didn’t take the initiative to attack or block those lightning warriors, they wouldn’t attack it.
As Lei Long devoured more runes, its body grew more condensed, gradually appearing like solid matter. It was now capable of blocking the lightning warriors’ attacks.
That helped Long Chen out greatly as he was in a crisis now. Lei Long could attack some of the lightning warriors and then rapidly retreat. They would instinctively attack Lei Long, but once it fled, they wouldn’t chase it. That distraction saved Long Chen a great deal of trouble.
This was a shocking battle. The reason Long Chen could last for so long was mainly because he had been cultivating lightning in his body since Blood Condensation, so his body had a powerful resistance to lightning.
If it was anyone else, then just a few dozen of these lightning warriors would take their lives. But when Long Chen was injured, they were just superficial injuries. The thunderforce that entered his body was absorbed and wouldn’t cause any damage.
So Long Chen was shocked to see that those four mysterious men were also able to fight against the Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors. However, now they had shut their mouths and no longer continued sneering. It was unknown whether they just didn’t have the time or energy to do so.
This shocking battle continued for a long time before the lightning warriors gradually lessened. Suddenly, nine huge figures condensed within the tribulation clouds. Each one of them wore strange clothes that were extremely ancient. As soon as they appeared, all sound disappeared from heaven and earth. It was deathly silent.
These figures caused everyone to jump in shock. They seemed alive. Even their eyes had light and expressions. They were no different from real people.
“Ancient Heroic Spirits…” Lor
d Heaveneye’s expression completely changed.
Of everyone present, only he knew that these Ancient Heroic Spirits were the peerless heavenly geniuses that had fallen during their tribulations. They were on a completely different level than the Berserk Lightning Warriors, and the tribulation had copied their states before they had fallen.
Those nine huge figures charged at Long Chen. At the same time, illusory qi seas appeared behind them.
“Three-thousand-mile qi seas!” Startled cries rang out. Those Ancient Heroic Spirits all possessed three-thousand-mile qi seas. They were nine Sea Expansion heavenly geniuses. But right now… Long Chen was only at the Xiantian realm.
Everyone’s heart clenched. This was too unfair. This wasn’t tribulation, but extermination.
“Bastard, just what kind of heavenly tribulation is this?!” raged one of the mysterious men. At the same time as Long Chen was attacked, they were also attacked.
The first one to face Long Chen was a young handsome man with a spear. When his spear pierced toward him, space trembled intensely and he immediately locked down Long Chen.
BOOM! Long Chen didn’t dare to be careless, and he slashed down with his saber. Cracks appeared in the air, as the void almost shattered.
Long Chen’s blood flipped within him, and he flew back. This man was too strong. But through this exchange, he confirmed that this man was truly formed of lightning runes.
As long as they weren’t real people, there was hope. Just as Long Chen was about to attack, his heart suddenly shook, and he activated the Lightning Body Blink. A saber just missed his shoulder, almost cutting off his arm.
Lei Long let out a furious roar and attacked them. Suddenly, two of them slashed their weapons onto its body, and Lei Long immediately exploded.
Lei Long could block the Berserk Lightning Battle Warriors’ attacks, but it couldn’t block these attacks. The two were not on the same level.
“Lei Long, come back for now. You aren’t their match.” Long Chen waved his hand. Lei Long’s runes returned to his arm.
