"Ten thousand people crossing tribulation at once? Is this okay? When
they heard this news, Bai Zhantang and the others were shocked, almost unable to believe their ears.
Moreover, the tribulation with ten thousand people isn't done by region, but together. This must be crazy.
That's the Realm King Tribulation—one wrong move could cost someone a life. If several people go through the tribulation together, they influence each other, increasing the tribulation's power. It could even lead to total annihilation. Let alone ten thousand people undergoing the tribulation at once—they wouldn't even dare to imagine it. This was no joke.
"Alright, leave it to me!"
Seeing Bai Zhantang and the others looking shocked, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to explain and said to the academy disciples, "
Brothers, do you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you."
These academy disciples had once fought alongside Long Chen on the arena against prodigies from various races, and at that time, they had long since disregarded life and death.
It could be said that their lives were all saved, and they were filled with admiration and trust for Long Chen. Now, hearing Long Chen say this, they immediately responded with the firmest resolve.
"Alright, then let's say nothing more. Let's start with ten thousand brothers, listen to my command."
At Long Chen's command, the academy disciples quickly assembled. Almost all the academy disciples rushed forward, but many were too slow to get ahead.
The disciples who rushed forward ahead were all excited. Bai Shishi's mother and the others watched with inward amazement—Long Chen's ability to rally was simply too strong—this was his personal charisma.
These disciples had no idea how dangerous it was to undergo a collective tribulation; it was even an utterly absurd idea.
But these disciples didn't care. Even if Long Chen told them to rush to the battlefield and fight the enemy to the death, they would charge forward without hesitation. Their trust in Long Chen had already surpassed what ordinary people could understand.
"Lei Ling'er."
At Long Chen's call, Lei Ling'er transformed into a beautiful young girl and immediately appeared. However, her expression was proud and cold, quite different from usual.
Long Chen taught her to do this: she had to act aloof and reluctant, and not get too excited.
"I'll leave it to you to look after these brothers." Long Chen pretended to clasp his fists and said.
"Don't worry, Brother Long Chen." Lei Ling'er nodded seriously, but her eyes were already full of laughter. Clearly, acting wasn't her strong suit.
"Let's begin!"
Under the gaze of thousands, ten thousand academy disciples arrived at the core area of the Tribulation Crossing Land, while the others all stepped back to watch.
"Rumble..."
With Long Chen's command, ten thousand academy disciples erupted with their aura, breaking through the bottleneck. Immediately, a sky-covering tribulation cloud descended, carrying a violent aura.
At that moment, everyone's hearts tightened. Ten thousand academy disciples were undergoing the tribulation together. The pressure of the heavenly tribulation instantly grew several times stronger, and its range was immense, enveloping hundreds of thousands of miles around.
As a result, the protective circle had to move outward, which made some people very worried. If the protective circle expanded, the defense would weaken, and if ambushed at this point, it would be hard for them to react.
"Don't be afraid. With such a large-scale heavenly tribulation, they might not dare approach. If caught by the tribulation, they will surely die. We just need to guard against their long-range attacks."
Even long-range attacks that enter the heavenly tribulation are blocked by it, their power diminishes, and they might not even be able to reach themselves before being overwhelmed by the tribulation.
What we need to worry about now is whether these children can hold out. Crossing tribulations like this goes against the will of the Heavenly Dao. A powerful figure couldn't help but say.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the tribulation clouds trembled, and endless bolts of thunder poured down like a torrential rain.
All the veteran strong warriors' hearts skipped a beat, because when ordinary disciples undergo tribulation, the first wave of tribulation is like a fine drizzle, followed by a torrential downpour, and finally a thunderbolt of lightning—there's always a process of adaptation.
But at this moment, the heavenly tribulation skipped the warm-up and went straight to the ground, giving the disciples no chance to adapt.
"Puff puff puff..."
It was only the first wave of tribulation, and many disciples couldn't hold on, pierced through by the thunder arrows. They could only desperately resist, protect their vital points, and save their lives first. As for everything else, they couldn't care about anything else. The disciples suddenly became panicked.
The passion they had before felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them; they finally felt fear.
"Dean Long Chen, this won't do... Seeing
this, an academy elder couldn't help but shout. He grew anxious—if this continued, these ten thousand disciples would be killed by the heavenly tribulation.
"I can see it too, but ... There's nothing I can do—I can't stop the heavenly tribulation. Long Chen shrugged, looking helpless.
"You ...," the elder was furious.
"Elder Xufeng, you don't need to worry. Long Chen is just joking with you. He knows exactly what he's doing." Seeing the elder about to lose his temper, Bai Shishi's mother quickly smiled and tried to persuade him.
Seeing that the old man seemed truly anxious, Long Chen also smiled and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. I'm here to apologize to you." The
elder was speechless. Long Chen was the head of the branch courtyard—how could he joke like this? It was just too childish.
However, although he was a half-step immortal-level powerhouse, Long Chen was the branch dean and had no right to criticize him.
Bai Shishi's mother, on the other hand, knew Long Chen well. Although he was young, he was always steady in his actions. He wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident about, let alone risk the lives of academy disciples.
"Stop just standing there. If you only get beaten up and don't fight back, are you? How long will it take to overcome the heavenly tribulation?
Attack the tribulation, hurry and finish it, start the next wave. The rest of the brothers are waiting for you, don't waste time. Long Chen shouted into the midst of the heavenly tribulation.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, countless people cried out in alarm. The heavenly tribulation trembled, and a divine light shot toward Long Chen. Clearly, Long Chen's words had disrupted the heavenly tribulation and been detected by it.
The tribulation attacked Long Chen, startling everyone. Bai Zhantang and the other experts quickly retreated, afraid of being caught up in the tribulation as well. They weren't afraid of getting hurt, but of enraging the tribulation. If the tribulation turned into a tribulation, these ten thousand disciples would likely turn to ashes in an instant.
"Boom!"
Long Chen slapped down, shattering the thunderbolt with a single blow. A heavenly tribulation of this intensity was nothing to him.
"Hurry up, act like a real man, don't hesitate." Long Chen shouted.
The tribulation trembled, and a thunder spear of ten thousand miles converged, roaring toward Long Chen. This strike was a hundred times stronger than the previous one.
Clearly, the previous strike was a warning, but this one was meant to annihilate Long Chen.
"Bang"
The thunder spear was shattered by Long Chen's slap. Long Chen attacked the heavenly tribulation twice in succession, giving the warriors tremendous confidence.
"Damn it, I'm going all out!"
A disciple from the academy gritted his teeth and roared angrily. Under the shocked gazes of countless people, he actually charged upstream toward the tribulation cloud, actively attacking the heavenly tribulation.
