At this moment, Xiao Chen no longer needed to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. It circulated through the meridians in his body, resonating with the changing sky.
Xiao Chen stood on a small mountain as the island rose and fell with the waves. His white robes fluttered as he looked at the boundless thunderclouds. His expression was grave and stern, his gaze emotionless.
It was like he was not facing these lifeless thunderclouds but a vast army pressing down on him. He was the last warrior in this lonely city.
"Hu chi!"
In the distant boundless sky, a bolt of lightning tore through space, heading for Xiao Chen without any warning. It traveled five thousand kilometers in an instant.
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber from its scabbard. His attack speed was even faster than the lightning. The cold saber blade silently chopped the lightning bolt flying at him in half.
"Come!"
Xiao Chen said softly as he looked into the distance. He could feel the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao in the thunderclouds.
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, ten thousand bolts of lightning flew over from the distance like arrows. Thunder roared, causing the seawater to surge.
'Bang!' The island turned into a boat without roots. Together with the surging seawater, it floated up and down in the huge waves.
The ten thousand arrows shot out at the same time. However, these were not arrows. They were all lightning bolts that could easily pierce through the sky. The overwhelming lightning engulfed the thunderclouds. When one looked up, it was filled with densely packed electricity.
Xiao Chen's face sank. He waved his hand, and the Heavenly Sage Laws in his body surged. More than a hundred lightning flood dragons instantly formed and danced around Xiao Chen, encasing him and forming a special protective ring. "Ka ca!
Ka ca! "
Intense collisions and explosions resounded. The ten thousand bolts of lightning pierced through the air as the lightning flood dragons fought with all their might.
Occasionally, a bolt of lightning pierced through the ring of lightning flood dragons. However, Xiao Chen brandished his saber and chopped them apart.
In the end, the one hundred lightning flood dragons did not last for long. The arrow-like lightning struck them until they were covered in cuts and bruises. It was a tragic sight to behold as they scattered one by one.
Fortunately, not many of the ten thousand bolts of lightning remained. Xiao Chen chopped down with all his might.
Every time he hacked, some electricity would accumulate in his body. After a certain amount, when he chopped down the last bolt of lightning, it finally exploded in his body.
"Bang!" The explosion knocked Xiao Chen into the air. He vomited a mouthful of blood, and he immediately let go of the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Just after the first wave subsided, another wave arose. Suddenly, a golden Divine Lightning descended from above. Wherever it passed, the void was directly annihilated, disappearing into nothingness. Not even spatial fragments remained.
This was the famous Divine Lightning of Extinction. When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he could not help cursing in his heart. The Lightning Tribulation of a Cultivation Technique actually caused even the Divine Lightning that a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor needed to pass through.
Although the Divine Lightning of Nirvana before Xiao Chen was not on the same level as the Divine Lightning of Nirvana that Martial Emperors faced, it was the genuine Divine Lightning of Nirvana. It could destroy space and swallow everything.
Xiao Chen raised his hands to the sky, and strands of purple Heavenly Sage Laws poured out of his palms. A purple light as thick as a thumb intertwined.
It formed an oval-shaped protective shield that flickered with dense lightning as it rose up.
Crack! The Divine Thunder of Annihilation lasted for three seconds. It easily broke through the protective shield and fell down.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground with his feet and all the Vital Qi in his body burned. A force of 150 Jin surged out like a surging river and crashed into the lightning.
With a loud boom, Xiao Chen was ruthlessly struck down. His skin was charred black, and he was covered in cuts and bruises. He was in an extremely sorry state.
Fortunately, the terrifying Divine Thunder of Annihilation was also blasted into countless sparks under Xiao Chen's berserk attack. This trial was temporarily over.
The charred skin started to split open slowly, revealing smooth new skin. The regenerative ability of a Level 3 Saint Body was on full display here.
However, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. This new skin would definitely be very weak. The next bolt of lightning would cause even more pain.
If this continued, when his skin and flesh recovered, he would be immediately charred. This cycle repeated itself. Just thinking about it made Xiao Chen tremble in fear. What kind of horrifying pain would he suffer?
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen's guess was right. After that, there were all sorts of famous Divine Lightning: Golden Light Divine Lightning, Void Divine Lightning, Immortal Divine Lightning, Blood Demon Divine Lightning, and Sun Extinguishing Divine Lightning.
A total of eighty-one bolts of Divine Lightning descended one after another. Every time Xiao Chen used his full power to block, his body would be blasted into a bloody mess.
Then, the Rank 3 Saint Body would recover before being blasted into smithereens. Xiao Chen did not even have a chance to cry out in pain before his willpower crumbled.
The island had long since been blasted into nothingness. Xiao Chen floated on the sea. The Neptune Headscarf on his forehead gave him a cool feeling. He carefully opened his eyes and looked at the clear blue sky.
The sunlight was so piercing that it hurt his eyes. Xiao Chen asked doubtfully, "The Lightning Tribulation is over?"
Xiao Chen got up and sat on the surface of the sea. Then, he stretched out his hand to take a look. His badly mangled skin had already slowly healed.
Xiao Chen's strong physical body had a strong recovery ability, automatically healing from the inside out. Soon, he had completely recovered.
The sunlight in the sky was somewhat piercing, and the seawater was calm. Xiao Chen looked around and muttered, "The Lightning Tribulation is over. Next is the Heart Tribulation."
Ao Jiao giggled from the Immortal Spirit Ring and flew out. When she stood on the sea, she looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Congratulations! Congratulations! You survived eighty-one bolts of Lightning Tribulation."
As an Item Spirit, Ao Jiao feared this kind of lightning the most. She would not come out unless the Lightning Tribulation was over.
Xiao Chen relaxed slightly. He smiled and said, "Ao Jiao, I'm not dead."
"You cleared eighty-one bolts of Lightning Tribulation. You will definitely clear the Heart Tribulation as well. You will not die. You will be fine forever." Ao Jiao revealed a rare, gentle smile as she cheered Xiao Chen on.
Xiao Chen said gently, "I will not die. I still have not fulfilled the promise I made to you. How can I die? Sooner or later, I will have to go to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School."
The expression in Xiao Chen's eyes became even more resolute. No matter how difficult the Heart Tribulation was, he, Xiao Chen, would clear it.
Xiao Chen carried too much. Be it the favor that the Thunder King had given him, the destruction of the Dragon's Gate, or the Dao in his heart, they were all very far away.
Back then, the Qing Emperor had been unrivaled in the four seas and eight desolate lands. Surrounded by countless halos, Xiao Chen had to carve out his own path and shake off the legend of the Qing Emperor.
Xiao Chen was not the Qing Emperor or the Thunder King. He was Xiao Chen. He had his own pride.
The Heart Tribulation was the invasion of a heart demon. If one's mental state was not perfect enough, one would never be able to walk out of the illusion created by the heart demon, trapped until death.
Xiao Chen scooped up some seawater and washed his face.
The heart demon was good at silently invading when a cultivator was defenseless and weak-willed. From now on, he had to deal with it comprehensively and could not be careless.
Xiao Chen sat on the surface of the sea, calmly waiting for the attack of the heart demon.
As long as he cleared this hurdle, the sky and the sea would be vast and the birds could fly freely. After that, the Great Dao would be bright. The new changes of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's seventh layer would unveil its mysterious veil.
Come on, Xiao Chen revealed a resolute expression. Let me see where the flaw in my heart is.
I really don't believe that this heart demon of yours can prevent me from walking out.
Amidst the calm, Xiao Chen paid full attention, not daring to relax for even a moment.
After a while, the surroundings were still incredibly quiet. Xiao Chen could not help but suspect that the so-called Heart Tribulation was just a lie.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's records were wrong. Otherwise, why had the Heart Tribulation not arrived yet?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically. When he opened his eyes, the thunderclouds in the sky had vanished, and the Lightning Tribulation had vanished.
The question was, when did I close my eyes? Xiao Chen did his best to recall. However, he could not remember when he closed his eyes.
When he tried to recall, the Divine Lightning struck down in his mind, splitting his flesh, shattering his bones, and mangling his flesh.
Furthermore, with his strong physical body, his body quickly recovered, and he repeated this inhumane torture.
How could I have fainted under such torturous torment? It was a never-ending cycle.
Under such circumstances, falling asleep was clearly an extravagant hope. Unless I died, the pain would not allow me to fall asleep.
Eighty-one bolts of Divine Lightning Tribulation. Did I really clear all of them?
Xiao Chen paled. He suddenly stood up and broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how strong one's will was, one would not be able to endure such torment. What would happen if one's will weakened?
The answer went without saying. Naturally, it would be a heart demon.
What about the Ao Jiao from before? Naturally, it was a heart demon.
"Good! Good! Good! I, Xiao Chen, have always thought of myself as extremely intelligent, with an extraordinary will and a perfect mental state. Unexpectedly, I nearly killed myself."
Xiao Chen revealed a self-mocking expression. He smiled bitterly. He was still foolishly waiting for the Heart Tribulation. How could he not know that he was already trapped in an illusion?
As Xiao Chen thought this, the sky and seawater before him slowly turned blurry. Then, he said calmly, "Ao Jiao, are you not coming out for a while?"
Ao Jiao flew out from the Immortal Spirit Ring. Her face filled with confusion. She even complained, "Why are you not focusing on your Heart Tribulation? Why did you call me out?"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his palm. As he looked at the familiar girl before him, he did not say anything.
A saber light flashed, and Ao Jiao's head and body separated. Xiao Chen attacked decisively, showing no mercy.
The scene around him suddenly changed. Xiao Chen's consciousness slowly turned blurry.
Thunder rumbled endlessly. The seawater was boundless. Huge waves drifted down, and rain poured endlessly. Thunderclouds churned in the sky, and lightning tore through the dark space. It looked like the end of the world.
Xiao Chen lay in the seawater, moving up and down with the waves. His body was badly mutilated, and his eyes glazed over. The intense pain made his body twitch continuously.
The lightning struck too quickly. The recovery of his Rank 3 Sage Body could not keep up. The wounds at the corners of his eyes mixed with seawater, preventing him from even opening them.
Every slight movement caused heart-wrenching pain.
Xiao Chen had a bad feeling in his heart. Ignoring the intense pain, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.
