"Boom!"
The void exploded, endless space-time fragments flew through the air, and a black giant python sped toward them from above their heads.
It was a giant python that covered the sky. As soon as it appeared, the whole world went dark, covering the sky.
"It's the Black Rock Nine Nether Python."
"This is way too big!"
"It's hundreds of times larger than other Black Rock Nine Nether Pythons, and its aura is a thousand times stronger."
The Dragonblood warriors were all shocked to see this giant python. They had fought the Black Rock Nine Nether Python clan before, but compared to the one before them, their true forms were as tiny as loaches.
"Rumble rumble rumble... When
the giant python appeared, endless thunder rolled down from the heavens, like a waterfall. For a moment, the entire world was shrouded in a massive cloud of calamity.
The tribulation cloud was boundless, completely locking onto the Black Rock Nine Nether Python. Wherever the python went, the heavenly tribulation followed.
"My god, what a terrifying heavenly tribulation! I'm afraid only the boss's tribulation can compare." The Dragonblood warriors looked at the boundless tribulation clouds, feeling the terrifying pressure, and couldn't help but be startled.
The scale of this tribulation was even greater than their collective tribulation, indicating that the tribulation practitioners were extremely terrifying.
"Rumble rumble... The
Black Rock Nine Nether Python darted through the void. Its massive body covered the vast sky, yet its speed was astonishingly fast. Its massive body showed no signs of clumsiness.
Long Chen and the others had just seen it. Its massive body had already halfway past the crowd, but just as it was about to fly over their heads,
"Huh?"
The Black Rock Nine Nether Python let out a startled cry, its massive head suddenly turning toward Long Chen.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the giant python's huge mouth opened wide, and a black light shot straight toward Long Chen. The vast divine radiance enveloped the entire Dragon Blood Legion.
The moment they were enveloped by that divine light, including Long Chen, everyone felt their souls tremble. This strike triggered their sense of life—it was deadly.
Before Long Chen and the others could react, the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox on Bai Xiaole's shoulder immediately formed a seal and condensed a massive mirror.
This move had previously been used by Bai Xiaole and the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox during the Heavenly Tribulation. It perfectly reflected the anomaly of the imperial clan powerhouse, and with his power, killed his own true body.
With a loud explosion, Bai Xiaole's Heavenly Eye Mirror trembled violently, and the black divine light was refracted.
However, the attack from the Black Rock Nine-Nether Python clan was too sudden, and the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had little time to prepare. Although it blocked the black divine radiance, its refracted direction was uncontrollable.
"Whoosh!"
The refracted black divine light shot out along the horizon, with endless rocky mountains stretching in the distance.
Some of these mountains were massive boulders, incredibly hard; otherwise, they wouldn't have remained intact under the ravages of heavenly tribulation.
Yet such a hard rocky mountain was instantly pierced by the black divine light, leaving behind a hole hundreds of miles wide.
The cave was perfectly round, with smooth walls as if polished. Along a single line, countless mountains were pierced through by a single blow, yet not a trace of dust or smoke rose. This eerie scene shocked and angered everyone.
"That bastard tried to kill us. Luckily, Xiao Jiu acted fast enough, otherwise ..." Xia Chen's face turned pale with anger. If Xiao Jiu hadn't intervened, they might have been killed without a trace.
Previously, their attention had been focused on the tribulation, and the man's killing intent was masked by its destructive intent. By the time he made his move, no one had time to react.
"Interesting. Remember my name—Yan Tianhua. After I cross my tribulation, I'll come find you again."
The void roared as the powerful warrior of the Black Rock Nine Nether Python clan moved at incredible speed. The person had already vanished from sight, but his voice echoed across heaven and earth.
"Courting death!"
The Dragonblood warriors were furious. This guy was so arrogant, he even dared to leave a name.
However, the guy who called himself Yantianhua was incredibly fast. As he ran, it seemed as if an invisible force propelled him at full speed, making it impossible to stop.
Otherwise, judging by his tone, he should have turned and continued attacking them.
"My Heavenly Tribulation!"
At that moment, someone shouted in terror from afar. Long Chen and the others all looked over, shocked to find that the tribulation clouds above their heads had completely vanished from those who had been undergoing the tribulation earlier.
"What's going on?" Everyone was stunned.
"The heavenly tribulation was absorbed by this guy?" Guyang cried out in alarm.
"Could it be that this guy is running so fast just to steal someone else's heavenly tribulation?"
"No wonder his heavenly tribulation is so terrifying. He must have absorbed countless people's tribulations to reach this level."
For a moment, everyone was shocked. They had never seen anyone absorb someone else's heavenly tribulation as if stealing something, taking it directly.
At this moment, those powerful cultivators who had not yet completed their tribulation wailed and cursed loudly. The disappearance of the tribulation meant they had failed the tribulation, and they would never advance to Divine Venerable.
Although the Dragonblood Warriors' tribulations had absorbed others' tribulations before, they could continue to cross the tribulation on the edge without affecting their advancement.
But Yan Tianhua was different. He directly claimed their tribulation and deprived them of their chance to advance to Heavenly Venerable. This was even more ruthless than killing!
"Give me back my heavenly tribulation!"
Someone roared, rushing toward the direction where Yan Tianhua had disappeared, trying to retrieve their tribulation.
However, his speed simply couldn't match Yan Tianhua's; it was impossible to catch up. As the thunder power within him gradually cooled, even if he caught up, it would be useless.
"My heavenly tribulation, come back quickly. If I can't advance to Divine Venerable, my family and my loved ones will all be finished." A young man, having been robbed by the heavenly tribulation, knelt on the ground, crying out loudly.
Cultivation is cruel. No matter how talented or strong a person is, once they fall from the pedestal and cut off their path, all the hopes bound to them will be shattered.
At this point, not only enemies but even some friends who usually flatter you might show contempt and ridicule, schadenfreude, or even baring their fangs.
"No!" Suddenly,
the man's large hand slapped his own head. The man was about to kill himself, and Yu Qingxuan and the others cried out in shock.
"Smack"
JustAt the very moment he made his move, Long Chen appeared before him and grabbed his hand.
"Our clan enemies are watching closely, as precarious as eggs stacked in a pile. I am the family's only hope. Since I am powerless to resist, rather than watch my loved ones die tragically, it would be better to end it all. Thank you for your kindness, but you cannot save me." The man's face was ashen, having lost all hope of life.
"Dead stupid. While the thunder power inside you hasn't cooled down, you have one hour. As long as you don't run in the direction that guy came and went, you'll definitely run into other tribulation cultivators.
I see you're a good person, so let me remind you—you should understand what to do next! Long Chen said to the man.
Upon hearing this, the man was instantly enlightened, so excited he kowtowed to Long Chen and sprinted off desperately.
"Boss, your brain is really something. You spin way too fast!" Guo Ran and the others looked full of admiration. Just like that person, they thought that once the tribulation was taken, they were completely ruined.
Long Chen suddenly came up with a solution: as long as he found someone undergoing tribulation, as long as the opponent wasn't much stronger than himself, riding the tribulation would at most make the tribulation stronger and wouldn't affect his advancement.
"Find a place to consolidate your realm, the sooner the better!" Long Chen said to everyone.
"Boss, what about you?" Guo Ran and the others were taken aback.
"I'm going after that guy. I feel like he's plotting something. I'll see if I can borrow some light."
If he could borrow some, he would lend a little; if not, he would smash his dog head to vent his anger. After
Long Chen finished speaking, he summoned thunder wings, shooting like a meteor, and sped away.
