Chapter 1116 - Lightning Tribulation


Chapter 1116: Lightning Tribulation

Whoo! Whoo!

Dark winds howled, and lightning danced!

The dark clouds seemed to form a vortex as streaks of purple lightning converged within.

An enormous pressure suddenly appeared, falling heavily on Fang Yuan.

This was the suppression of the world. It was as if all of heaven and earth was rejecting him, wanting to take his life with a strong, malevolent intent!

Even if he were at the Demon God level and had mastery of Great Daos, he would have to be cautious when facing the suppression of heaven and earth. Not to mention, the Wasteland World was incredibly powerful, rivaling the Mental Demon Realm, perhaps even more powerful!

To make matters worse, Fang Yuan had not even condensed a single Great Dao at this time, much less recover his Netherheaven strength.

Crack!

Copious amounts of purple lightning converged in the vortex, even turning slightly dark red at the end. Fang Yuan felt that it was enough to strike down primordial treasures and completely kill him.

“An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator’s tribulation has nine lightning strikes. With my clone, I should have eighteen strikes!”

For those with clones, the tribulation was bound to strike twice. This fusion of two tribulations was a way to balance the world.

Since he grasped heaven-defying abilities, he had to be prepared for the disaster that followed!

In addition, Fang Yuan had mastered three sets of heaven-defying nomological laws, so the power of the lightning would definitely be extremely terrifying.

“Anyway… lightning strikes capable of striking down primordial treasures shouldn’t appear at the beginning. Even if this is the lightning tribulation to become Immortal, there must be a chance for survival. This is a fundamental rule of this world and can’t be changed!”

Fang Yuan’s eyes almost bulged out as he looked at the lightning that was still accumulating power and continuously tearing space apart. “But this absolutely isn’t what’s happening now! This is deliberately trying to kill me!”

While he did have a few miscalculations, he rarely placed himself in such dangerous circumstances.

At this time, he realized that if he did not handle things correctly, he was truly at risk dying!

Whoosh!

The sky changed again.

Above both sides of the dark cloud vortex brimming with lightning, lightning streaked, and two giant eyes emerged.

They were composed entirely of white lightning, having a sense of apathy and ruthlessness, seeming as though the heavens had opened its eyes. The eyes combined with the dark cloud vortex to form a face.

It looked as if heaven’s face had appeared, and lightning launched from its mouth.

“Eye of Heavenly Punishment? Divine Lightning of Annihilation?”

Fang Yuan’s mind raced as he recalled a description from an ancient book. “In the Wasteland World, there would occasionally be heinous people who are destined to be unable to become Immortal. When they undergo the tribulation, either the Eye of Heavenly Punishment or the Divine Lightning of Annihilation would appear to disintegrate them. None have survived… But both have actually appeared now. I don’t even know why I’m this deserving of death!”

There could be many reasons for this. The most likely was that his aura as a transmigrator had leaked, and heaven and earth had sensed it.

Rumble!

The purple lightning that had been brewing for a long time finally fell.

It was entirely purple with traces of blood-red at its edges. This Divine Lightning of Annihilation could even kill Immortals!

When it reached the top of Fang Yuan’s head, it split in two and targeted both his main body and clone. Even hiding in the corners of the world or inside immortal artifacts would have been in vain.

“Block!”

Both his main body and clone roared at the sky and punched upward. They did not use any immortal artifacts or magical weapons because it was pointless to do so. It would only increase the power of the lightning.

Bang! Bang!

With two booms, everything within a fifty-kilometer radius around Fang Yuan turned into dust. At the bottom of a large pit, Fang Yuan’s main body and clone spat out a mouthful of blood. Their fists were blackened, and the dead skin quickly shed to form new skin.

“Abominable Lord!” Looking at the sky, he spat every syllable.

Right! He had sensed something amiss when the tribulation started, and after the lightning struck, the aura could no longer remain hidden. It was indeed the Abominable Lord!

He was the former Demon God who was at peak Netherheaven, half-step Dao Fruit, that had wagered everything against him, his mortal enemy!

“No wonder I couldn’t find any information about you. It turns out that you didn’t reincarnate at all but had instead become a part of the Heavenly Dao. Are you preparing to take over the world?”

Fang Yuan bared his teeth. “Why do I feel that you have the destiny of a main character, being able to reincarnate into heaven’s will directly…”

Naturally, a Heavenly Dao was vast, particularly that of this tyrannical world. A mere Abominable Lord was unable to influence it much. Otherwise, Fang Yuan would have long choked to death from eating or drinking.

According to his calculations, the Abominable Lord’s efforts up until now had only affected a portion of the Heavenly Dao, the aspect regarding tribulations in particular!

“Looks like he intentionally set up this sure-death scenario for when I undergo the tribulation!”

Fang Yuan thought quickly, trying to find a way to break this setup.

Obviously, under the Abominable Lord’s influence, his lightning tribulation would be as powerful as the Abominable Lord could make it. He would stop at nothing to kill him!

Kaboom!

The face in the sky changed slightly, and a hint of emotion seemed to appear in the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. It was the Abominable Lord!

“Die!!!”

Fang Yuan vaguely heard the curse from the Netherheaven Demon God as the third and fourth lightning strikes fell.

“Clam Dragon materialization! Illusion Realm Magical Power!

“Torch Dragon materialization! Time Flying Blade!”

Fang Yuan’s main body and clone attacked simultaneously, using his materialization magical powers to resist. “Abominable Lord… it really is you. But something seems off about you… You’ve become a lot more mechanical and apathetic. Is this a side effect of your main character treatment, that your thinking must become more similar to that of the Heavenly Dao? Rigidly abiding by some fundamental rules of heaven and earth?”

The face in the sky did not answer and merely spewed out the fifth and sixth lightning strikes.

Kaboom!

With a loud rumble, the two materializations started crumbling, and traces of lightning landed on Fang Yuan, causing both his main body and clone to cough up a large amount of blood.

“Frustrated?” Blood was seeping from the corner of his lips, but he was laughing since he found the opportunity for survival. “So I’m right? You’re only a part of the Heavenly Dao. Although you can affect the intensity of the lightning tribulation, you’re powerless against changing its fundamental rules. In other words, you can only take advantage of the circumstances to try and kill me, but can’t take the initiative to attack. Although this lightning tribulation is horrifying, you can’t do anything to me if I survive it, right?”

The seventh and eighth lightning strikes came crashing down.

Fang Yuan used his hands as sabers. “Illusion Realm Saber! Time Saber!”

How terrifying were the nomological laws of the Illusion Realm and time? The strikes actually shattered the lightning in midair. The few traces of lightning that reached him only caused some minor injuries.

“Something’s wrong!”

Things were going too smooth, making Fang Yuan furrow his brow, and he put himself on high alert.

The Abominable Lord was right there in the lightning tribulation, and he would certainly do everything in his power to kill him!

The next moment, heavenly blossoms fell, transformed into pieces of Great Dao inspirations, and landed inside Fang Yuan’s mind.

The Saber Great Dao, Void Great Dao, Time Great Dao, Undying Great Dao…

Great Dao inspirations of the four sets of nomological laws that Fang Yuan had comprehended to perfection immediately began to appear, as though heaven and earth were deliberately showing them to him.

If he had encountered this during normal cultivation, he would have surely been ecstatic and entered seclusion.

However, as the Great Dao Inspirations fell, two bolts of lightning suddenly struck down with immense power!

“Void Great Dao, Time Great Dao?”

Fang Yuan’s eyes were dazed.

This was more powerful than any kind of mental attack. After all, the Great Daos that corresponded to the nomological laws that he had bitterly cultivated were right in front of him. Which cultivator could resist this temptation?

As his mind was slightly immersed, the two bolts of lightning struck.

Pfft!

Both his main body and clone spat blood, and their materializations collapsed completely. On top of that, an arm and a leg had turned into dust. Although the Nomological Laws of Undying were working full throttle to generate new limbs, the speed became slightly slower.

“So the true Great Dao inspirations fall in the middle of the lightning tribulation… Is this the deliberate manipulation of the Abominable Lord as well?” Fang Yuan mumbled as more heavenly blossoms immediately fell.

If the previous heavenly blossoms were just superficial inspirations of the Great Daos, then what came now went deeper. Even the Saber Great Dao was almost completely exposed, as though it was free for picking.

If at dawn you learn of and tread the Dao, you can face death at dusk!

Even Demon Gods would find the temptation of an almost complete Great Dao right in front of them hard to resist!

Rumble! Rumble!

At this time, the eleventh and twelfth lightning strikes fell at multiplied power.

“Ah! Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique, ninth star! Activate! Blade of Universe!”

Fang Yuan’s eyes were dazed, but he managed to recover right before the lightning reached him and unleashed two saber blows.

The Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique was a heaven-defying technique, and it was not an external object like immortal artifacts. It was something he had attained himself, and it was effective right away, cutting the lightning with two saber blows.

But the next moment, the power of the lightning tribulation suddenly exploded, and the thirteenth and fourteenth lightning strikes crashed down with a vibrant crimson color.

Bang Bang!

Half of his main body and clone disintegrated, and the recovery was extremely slow.

Heavenly blossoms fell, and golden lotuses sprouted on the ground. Great Dao inspirations fell from heaven, not giving him a chance to catch his breath.

In addition, what appeared this time was the complete Saber Great Dao and half of the Void Great Dao, Time Great Dao, Undying Great Dao…

This temptation was unparalleled to Fang Yuan.

At the same time, the fifteenth and sixteenth lightning strikes came. The purple had faded away and become mostly dark red, carrying an ominous aura.

“Universe Obliteration!”

Fang Yuan’s main body and clone shouted as the Blade of Universe Obliteration chopped the lightning.

Even so, traces of the dark red lightning exploded half of his body. They even attached themselves to his wounds, nullifying the effects of the Nomological Laws of Undying.

Whoo! Whoo!

The face in the sky seemed to be roaring as the fully dark red seventeenth and eighteenth lightning strikes suddenly crashed down.

The face even turned illusory after the two lightning strikes. He had clearly expended a great deal of his energy.

“I can’t stop it!” Just seeing the two bolts of lightning made Fang Yuan’s heart sink.

At the same time, the inspirations of four complete Great Daos appeared before him, making him almost want to forget everything happening around him.

“Ninth star, Blade of Universe Obliteration!”

Fang Yuan made up his mind instantly. His main body sat down cross-legged while the Torch Dragon clone faced the lightning with his strongest attack.

Bang!

The Blade of Universe Obliteration shattered. The two bolts of lightning were hindered slightly, but they still broke through. However, the joint strikes were now staggered.

Rumble!

The seventeenth Divine Lightning of Annihilation landed on the Torch Dragon clone. Even the primordial treasure-level body could not withstand it and was annihilated unceasingly. The Nomological Laws of Undying had completely lost its effects.

“Ahh!!!” The Torch Dragon clone screamed in agony, and only his head remained. But he had managed to obliterate the seventeenth lightning.

The next instant, the final lightning strike struck, and the Torch Dragon clone disintegrated!

On top of that, the eighteenth lightning strike hardly lost any power as it drowned Fang Yuan’s main body in it.

Bang!

Under the purplish-red light, Fang Yuan’s main body turned into dust as well!
