Chapter 640 - 625: Tribulation Thunder Converges, A Great Crisis

Attempting to break through to the King Martial Realm had summoned the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, leaving the old powerhouses from the various factions in the Imperial Capital and on Cangxia Mountain utterly dumbfounded.

They never imagined that Shen Lang would actually put away his Immortal Celestial Saber and Xingtian Battle Armor to face the Purple Tribulation Thunder head-on with his physical body!

Such a crazy act was beyond imagination!

After condensing a Nascent Soul, ordinary powerhouses would typically use powerful Magical Treasure Secret Artifacts to crush the Tribulation Thunder. They would then absorb a small portion of its power to temper their bodies and newly formed Nascent Souls.

But the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation was no small matter. Its destructive power far exceeded that of an ordinary tribulation!

For a Ninefold Thunder Tribulation, from the first to the ninth level, the power increased by far more than nine or ten times.

Not one in a million could survive the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation!

Who would dare to even touch the Purple Tribulation Thunder, let alone use it to temper their body?

How could the physical body of an ordinary King Martial Realm powerhouse possibly withstand the world-destroying power of the Purple Tribulation Thunder?

Just surviving this great tribulation would be a stroke of immense, ancestral luck!

And for some unknown reason, the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation Shen Lang had summoned was countless times more tyrannical than the ones recorded in legends...

Even from over a hundred li away, the many King Martial Realm powerhouses at the Fifth and Sixth Heaven on Cangxia Mountain still felt their hearts pound with terror!

As for those below the Fifth and Sixth Heaven of the King Martial Realm, their state was even more pathetic. They trembled uncontrollably, each and every one of them, praying for Shen Lang to just get through this Thunder Tribulation quickly.

Otherwise, they might not hold out long enough to see Shen Lang fall!

Such destructive energy, such an all-crushing, supreme pressure... it made many people break out in a cold sweat, their hearts filled with despair!

However, the powerhouses from the various factions had still underestimated Shen Lang’s madness...

At first, Shen Lang was still shattering the Purple Tribulation Thunder before absorbing the Thunder Power for Body Forging.

But then, he actually sat down, intending to passively endure the tribulation’s savage bombardment!

He clearly had a death wish!

Never mind the surrounding powerhouses watching the scene; even someone like Xue Shiyin, who had the utmost confidence in Shen Lang’s strength, went pale with fright when she saw the Tribulation Thunder descend. She immediately charged straight into the area enveloped by the thunder clouds!

The very instant Xue Shiyin’s foot crossed into that region...

Thunder Power surged across Shen Lang’s body amidst flashing lightning. At the critical moment, it formed a massive vortex!

The vortex appeared right above Shen Lang’s head with perfect timing, like a long-dormant Fierce Beast suddenly opening its great maw to devour its incoming prey!

FWOOM!

The massive Purple Thunder Ball was instantly and completely swallowed by the vortex!

It vanished without a trace!

Everyone was completely stupefied...

What kind of Magical Treasure Secret Artifact or Cultivation Technique in this world could possibly devour the Purple Tribulation Thunder?

It was simply unimaginable!

The power released by an exploding Purple Tribulation Thunder could flatten an area for a hundred li in every direction. How could it possibly be swallowed by a kid who had just broken through to the King Martial Realm?

But if it wasn’t devoured, how could the Tribulation Thunder’s energy vanish so completely, without leaving even a single wisp behind?

Just then...

"Hah!"

Shen Lang let out a soft cry, his hands in a posture of holding up the sky as he pushed upwards!

The vortex above his head churned wildly, doubling in size!

With Shen Lang at the center, the surrounding air currents surged, clouds roiled, and wild winds raged!

Then...

The Purple Tribulation Thunders crashing down from high above were like vibrant fruits, all falling into the Fierce Beast’s gaping, bloody maw!

Again, they vanished without a trace!

There wasn’t even the slightest ripple of energy!

Horrified, Xue Shiyin stopped in her tracks. Her Divine Thought pierced through the layers of churning air to see what was happening at the very center.

She saw Shen Lang’s entire body enveloped in purple thunder and lightning, making him look as terrifying as a Thunder God in complete control of the storm!

"Heavens, he... he’s really using this destructive Purple Tribulation Thunder to temper his body and Nascent Soul!"

Xue Shiyin’s full chest heaved violently, her eyes flashing with a strange light. She was both worried and overjoyed.

Witnessing all of this, whether they were Emperor Martial Realm powerhouses or a Quasi-Emperor Martial Realm powerhouse like Xue Shiyin, all felt a terror that was beyond words.

For Shen Lang, however, the situation was not nearly as perilous or difficult as everyone imagined.

After condensing his Nascent Soul, not only had his power increased several dozen times over, but his Chaos Divine Body had also been further enhanced.

A total of 222,700 Ten Divine Beast Particles were spread throughout Shen Lang’s body.

The current toughness of Shen Lang’s physical body was likely something that even powerhouses at the Fifth and Sixth Heaven of the King Martial Realm could not compare to!

And this power was still continuously growing stronger!

The Purple Tribulation Thunder was devoured by the Tai Chi Diagram, but Shen Lang forcibly released a portion of it to remain within his body. It was now constantly coursing through his meridians, tempering them and his Nascent Soul.

For other King Martial Realm powerhouses, the latter stages of facing a Tribulation Thunder were always increasingly difficult...

On one hand, the Tribulation Thunder’s power grew more ferocious the further along it went.

On the other hand, the power consumption was immense. Toward the end, their own power would be exhausted, and the energy replenished by various Elixir Pills and Spiritual Liquids would no longer be enough.

Finally, the Magical Treasure Secret Artifacts they had prepared in advance would likely be mostly destroyed...

Dealing with a Thunder Tribulation was fundamentally a war of attrition, a protracted battle.

If one made it to the end with all their trump cards played, but the Tribulation Thunder continued unabated, their doom was essentially sealed.

But Shen Lang was different.

Having absorbed the Supreme Yin Qi from the fissure, his Tai Chi Diagram contained an ocean of energy, more than enough to handle this kind of Thunder Tribulation.

And unlike ordinary powerhouses...

Shen Lang’s Chaos Divine Body was the most powerful Divine Body since the dawn of time!

Now, using the Purple Tribulation Thunder for Body Forging, the Ten Divine Beast Particles in his cells were multiplying at an incredible rate!

Others grew weaker the longer they fought the Tribulation Thunder.

But Shen Lang grew stronger the longer he fought it!

His momentum soared madly, a domineering aura sweeping across the entire Imperial Capital!

His Chaos Divine Body was already unimaginably powerful, his Tai Chi Diagram was utterly heaven-defying, and on top of that, his Divine Body was still growing stronger. It was only because of these three factors that Shen Lang dared to pull a stunt that had even startled Xue Shiyin!

At this moment, Shen Lang was multitasking three ways. He used his Silver Eyes of Truth to keep a close watch on the thunder clouds in the sky, constantly monitoring the energy fluctuations within.

He was also controlling the Tai Chi Diagram to absorb the Purple Tribulation Thunder, guiding it inside for desperate Refinement.

At the same time, he was intentionally releasing some of the Tribulation Thunder’s power, allowing a portion of its energy to surge through his limbs and bones, continuously tempering his meridians, marrow, and Nascent Soul...

Each of these tasks was something an ordinary person could hardly imagine.

To perform them all simultaneously was incredibly difficult and extremely perilous.

Yet Shen Lang did it all with ease, as if it were simple and casual!

Suddenly...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sound of thunder cracking within the clouds suddenly intensified severalfold, as if heaven and earth were about to collapse. The resulting shockwaves made mountains shake, the ground tremble, and the world turn upside down!

The vast thunder clouds, filled with a sense of infinite death and annihilation, began to converge frantically at this moment, compressing and shrinking!

It was as if the thunder clouds had been thoroughly enraged by Shen Lang and now sought a final, decisive battle to the death!

The ever-calm and composed Shen Lang’s expression changed. ’Damn, it’s not playing by the rules! Is this Tribulation Thunder acting like a rogue?’

Under the observation of Shen Lang’s Silver Eyes of Truth, the power within the hundred-zhang-wide thunder cloud was continuously gathering and concentrating.

The energy that could have formed over a hundred powerful Tribulation Thunders was now completely converging and fusing into one!

The scattered Tribulation Thunders were merging into a single entity!

It seemed to be preparing to deliver one supreme, final strike against Shen Lang!

If a hundred powerful Purple Thunder Balls were to crash down one after another, Shen Lang would have a hard time, but he wouldn’t be at the point of collapse.

At the very least, toward the end, he could still rely on external help from his Immortal Celestial Saber, Xingtian Battle Armor, and Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads.

But if they all merged into one...

’Even if I unleash the full power of my Tai Chi Diagram, even if I call upon all the strength of my Chaos Divine Body, I probably can’t take a world-destroying strike like this!’

This level of world-destroying power had already surpassed the scope of what a King Martial Realm powerhouse could handle...

"This is bad!"

Outside, Xue Shiyin, the only one who could see everything clearly, had her expression change drastically once again!

A sharp glint flashed through Xue Shiyin’s eyes. Two identical figures walked out from her body and stood to the side.

With a slight movement, these two Xue Shiyins were immediately clad in dazzling, form-fitting Silver Armor.

One held a fiery-red Great Seal that looked as if it had just been pulled from lava, with faint flames still burning on its surface, making the surrounding air seem to boil.

The other held a foot-long Ancient Stele. The stele was jet-black, ancient, and weathered, inscribed with complex and strange patterns. The moment it appeared, it caused the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to fluctuate violently, its presence astonishing.

’If he can’t withstand it, I’ll have no choice but to sacrifice these two King Martial Realm doppelgangers...’

Xue Shiyin made up her mind. As soon as Shen Lang was in danger, her two King Martial Realm doppelgangers would immediately charge in and draw the Tribulation Thunder’s power onto themselves.

She would have these two doppelgangers exhaust or even fully bear the world-destroying power of the Tribulation Thunder!

The two doppelgangers were at the King Martial Realm Fourth Heaven and King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven, respectively.

While they might not be able to handle such a terrifying Tribulation Thunder, by charging in with no regard for their own survival, they could certainly dissipate and shoulder most of its energy.

"Amitabha!"

Not far away, Chaos, who had seen everything, put his palms together and softly chanted a Buddhist mantra.

Meanwhile, Shark’s Kiss and Nangong Yan exchanged a glance, their expressions turning a little strange, a little touched...

At this moment, facing this peerless, terrifying might and watching the world-destroying Tribulation Thunder slowly take form, Shen Lang rose to his feet. A look of unprecedented wariness appeared in his eyes!

The Immortal Celestial Saber was drawn once more, and the Xingtian Battle Armor clad his body again.

Activated by Shen Lang, the Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads shone with immense Buddha Light, laying down layer after layer of protection!

Shen Lang was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy!

’This Tribulation Thunder is ridiculously powerful... Aside from the entity within the Immortal Celestial Saber, it was probably mainly attracted by my Chaos Divine Body. This is big trouble... No, I must come up with a complete plan to deal with this catastrophe. Otherwise, one misstep will mean my soul scatters!’
