Chapter 161.2
As the continuous thunder finally stopped, the cultivators who had been watching the thunderstorm saw that although Li Tianyan was seriously injured, he survived safely. They were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard another low roar coming from the thunderclouds.
“The thunder is not over yet,” Ji Hexuan said solemnly, looking at the still thick thunderclouds in the sky.
“No, it’s not over yet,” Huo Xing shouted, his face filled with horror. The nine thunders just now were exaggerated enough, but now it seemed they were going to kill people.
“The two thunder tribulations have passed; why doesn’t the heaven stop already?” Tian Min couldn’t help but speak as he saw the dark thundercloud above Li Tianyan’s head, which seemed ready to collapse.
As soon as he finished speaking, the thundercloud exploded again, this time with a sound even more shocking, and the thunder that fell was several times stronger than before.
Seeing this thunder strike down, everyone held their breath and stared at the figure beneath the thunder.
Li Tianyan held the spiritual sword in his hand and struck a bolt of lightning into the air. After the sky thunder exploded, he released the core formation puppet to catch most of the scattered sky thunder for him.
Even though there was a puppet in front of him, Li Tianyan still had several wounds on his body.
Then, one after another, thunderbolts fell, and after the puppet caught three thunders, its tough body also showed signs of damage.
Four thunderbolts followed, then fifth. There was no time for anyone to take a breath. Li Tianyan could only keep raising his true spiritual energy, slashing with one sword after another, using almost all his strength each time.
After catching five thunders, the puppet was finally completely destroyed, and Li Tianyan was not spared. Even the blue robe on his body was in tatters, revealing a body covered in lightning injuries.
Li Tianyan had no choice but to sacrifice another core formation puppet, but it only blocked the sixth and seventh thunder for him before it became useless again.
Seeing the eighth thunder appear, Li Tianyan took out the Soul-Chasing Bell, unlocked the two seals on it, and then sacrificed it to block most of the thunder for him.
Previously, Li Tianyan’s cultivation had been insufficient, and he had been unable to control the Soul-Chasing Bell. He could only place several seals on the Soul-Chasing Bell to suppress it to the level of a spiritual weapon. Now, as his cultivation had improved and he had unlocked the two seals, the Soul-Chasing Bell had also been upgraded to the level of a magical weapon.
Tao Wu was struck by the thunder and was so angry that he cursed in Li Tianyan’s the sea of consciousness. Li Tianyan turned a deaf ear. He had little strength left to deal with the thunder behind him, so he could only let the Soul-Chasing Bell block it first.
The pressure of the eight thunders was astonishing. Even if the Soul-Chasing Bell had been restored to the level of a magical weapon, it was still damaged.
After catching these eight thunders, several more cracks appeared on the Soul-Chasing Bell. Li Tianyan worried that the seal of the Soul-Chasing Bell would be split by the thunder, so he could only take it back first.
Nine levels of sky thunder followed one after another, and Li Tianyan slashed upwards with several sword intents again. Every time he swung the sword, a thunderous sword pierced the air, colliding with four sky thunders in mid-air, and releasing sparks. He also formed a yin fire net in front of him as protection.
The thunder energy that fell on Li Tianyan was greatly weakened by the Yin flames, but the power of the ninth level of thunder was not trivial. No part of Li Tianyan’s body remained intact.
After fighting against the sky thunder until now, even though Li Tianyan’s Dantian was deep, most of his energy had been consumed. In the end, of the nine thunders, five remained, with their power pressing toward him from above.
Li Tianyan circulated his true spiritualenergy and injected it into the spiritual sword. Suddenly, the blade lit up with a dazzling blue light, as if wrapped by lightning. The aura of the spiritual sword gradually increased. Li Tianyan held the handle of the sword with both hands, stepped back a little, and used almost all his strength to wield the spiritual sword.
Five sky thunders and spiritual sword collided in the air, and the immense residual power exploded in all directions. Most of the surrounding mountains were destroyed by these two energies, and even the core formation elders standing in the distance were forced to retreat.
Tian Min also took Cheng Qi and retreated to a peak behind him with the others.
There was such a significant gap between the same core formation triublation that the faces of all the core formation elders showed disbelief.
When the other cultivators saw this scene, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
A core formation thunder tribulation could level several mountains to the ground. This was not merely a thunder tribulation but a thunder punishment. What had Li Tianyan done to provoke the heaven?
What was even more terrifying was that he actually continued to endure. Although Li Tianyan looked extremely embarrassed and tattered at that moment, being able to survive under the power of such thunder showed how terrifying this person’s strength was.
After the third round of nine thunders fell, there was no sign of the thunder tribulation ending. The thunderclouds in the sky kept roaring, as if something terrible was brewing.
When everyone saw this, they couldn’t help but retreat a lot. Looking at Li Tianyan, who had been seriously injured by the thunder, they couldn’t help but worry that he would not survive this tribulation.
Throwing away the spirit sword that had split into two pieces, Li Tianyan looked up with a wry smile on his face.
God wouldn’t really want to kill him, right? The heaven gave him this body to try another life, but he might end up dying under the Core Formation Thunder Tribulation.
What a joke.
