Buzz!
Just as everyone was shocked, a dazzling butterfly suddenly appeared before them. In that instant, the sky and earth cleared, and the clouds of calamity vanished.
Before you lies endless green fields and the vibrant morning sun—a warm and cozy world that brings a sense of comfort.
"Wake up!"
Suddenly, Mengqi shouted, startling everyone. Mengqi held the Void Realm, and a divine light flew by. The butterfly vanished, transforming into a sky full of thunder runes.
The Dragonblood warriors were once again pulled back into the harsh reality world. They were startled, and at that moment, they actually entered a fantasy.
"Be careful, these thunder beasts contain otherworldly laws. Unlike the thunder beasts of the Tianwu Continent, they can unleash divine attacks." Long Chen shouted.
In the past, thunder beasts on the Tianwu Continent were all violent attacks and lacked any divine powers. But now, these thunder beasts were no different from demon beasts, possessing various divine powers and making them extremely difficult to deal with.
"Kill!"
The Dragonblood warriors shouted, no longer daring to be careless. This tribulation was different from before. They could no longer trust the tribulation experience from before, or they would suffer a great loss.
"Puff puff puff... The
Dragonblood warriors became serious, battling the thunder beasts. For a moment, endless thunder danced, forming a sea of five-colored lightning. The Dragonblood warriors bathed in the thunder sea, frantically absorbing the power of the thunder.
Just as Long Chen said, the current power of thunder is both essence and dross. There are many bad things, but also many good things. The five-colored thunder is different from the thunder of the Tianwu Continent before; it contains divine power.
That kind of power was something only Long Chen had experienced before. Now, the five-colored divine thunder contained this power as well. Although it wasn't much, once absorbed, it would make the Ten Thousand Dragon Essence Blood within the Dragon Blood warriors purer and more active.
Behind Long Chen, the thunder dragon's body shrank to just a hundred zhang, slowly absorbing the thunder power around him.
Long Chen told Lei Long to take it easy and not absorb too much, as that would affect the effects of the Dragon Blood warriors. Otherwise, if Lei Long lets his absorption go free, others won't get anything at all.
Long Chen knew Lei Long wasn't satisfied, so he comforted him, saying this wasn't his heavenly tribulation—it was just a pre-meal fruit. Once he passed the tribulation, he could have the main meal.
As time passed, the number of thunder beasts increased, and they grew stronger. These beasts began fighting at the early Tongming stage, then kept increasing. After an hour, their cultivation had reached the peak of Tongming.
If it were ordinary peak Tongming Realm demon beasts, the Dragon Blood Legion wouldn't care at all. But these beasts were extremely terrifying, constantly using various divine powers and extremely powerful destructive powers.
"Why is this beast so strong?" A Dragonblood warrior couldn't help but shout. He had already been seriously injured twice, and if it weren't for the medical team treating him later, he wouldn't have survived.
"This should be the heavenly tribulation of the demon beast clan. These beasts should be the ancient heroic spirits of their own world." The old man sliced a thunder beast to pieces with a single stroke and replied.
Ancient heroic spirits are ancient powerhouses who, after undergoing tribulation, are copied by the Heavenly Dao. Their attacks are indistinguishable from those of the original.
And these thunder beasts before him must be extremely terrifying beings within the demon beast clan, so even the Dragon Blood Legion was somewhat overwhelmed.
"No, we can't hold it anymore. Form a formation." Xia Chen shouted. If they kept fighting on their own, they wouldn't hold on any longer. Too many people would be injured, and if this continued, their stamina would be too drained and extremely dangerous. Who knew if there were even more terrifying beings ahead? They had to conserve their strength.
With Xia Chen's sharp shout, all the Dragonblood warriors immediately formed their formations. Once the formation was set, the pressure was greatly reduced, making it much easier to handle.
Only Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Yue Zifeng, and the others continued to fight separately, because these thunder beasts posed no threat to them; they were responsible for controlling the rhythm on the perimeter.
Originally, Long Chen wanted the old man to stay among the Dragon Blood Legion to protect him, but the old man refused to accept his age. Wielding the Heaven-Opening Blade, he frantically slaughtered thunder beasts on the outskirts, each strike covering a large area—more powerful than anyone else.
Long Chen secretly glanced at the Alliance Leader on the willow tree. Sure enough, Qu Jianying was looking at the old man. Long Chen shook his head silently. The older the old man gets, the more childish he becomes. It seems that in the face of love, there is no such thing as maturity.
The old man was now extremely excited, as if he had endless strength. The chaotic power of the Heavenly Dao stimulated his vital energy, making his body youthful. He seemed to have regained the feeling of youth, unable to restrain himself and freely releasing it.
Long Chen originally wanted to persuade the old man to conserve his strength, but after thinking it over, he decided to let him be. He could do whatever he liked. He figured this was probably the only time in his life, and since it was rare to show off in front of Qu Jianying, he wouldn't be happy if he didn't let him do it.
A full three hours passed, and the thunder beasts grew increasingly terrifying, even appearing at the Emperor Miao level.
Long Chen's heart tightened. This heavenly tribulation was truly terrifying. It should be known that within the Dragon Blood Army, the Ten Thousand Dragon Essence Blood was being activated and growing stronger without their awareness. They themselves didn't know it, but Long Chen saw it clearly.
But even as they grew stronger, they were still suppressed. The thunder demon beasts grew stronger and stronger. This tribulation was truly the strongest ever.
"Excellent sword technique."
Yue Zifeng wielded his long sword. Just as he slew a group of thunder beasts, the old man slew a Emperor Miao-level demon beast that was about to ambush him with a single strike. Yue Zifeng couldn't help but praise him.
The old man's strength earned genuine admiration from even Yue Zifeng and the others. The lawless aura he exuded could inspire endlessly.
"Be careful, the thunder beast has grown stronger again." Liu Ruyan shouted a warning.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan's body had shrunk to just a thousand zhang. Only in this way could she fully protect Qu Jianying and Li Tianxuan.
"Oh my god, over ten thousand Emperor Miao-level thunder beasts."
The powerful onlookers from afar watched as a group of thunder beasts descended from the sky, their scalps tingling. The aura was terrifying, let alone fighting.
"Looks like this is the last wave. Brothers, keep it up!" Guo Ran shouted.
However, Guo Ran stayed inside the formation all day and didn't go out. Without armor, he was afraid of being bitten to death by the thunder beasts. If he wore armor, it would delay absorbing the power of thunder. So he made the wisest choice: to encourage everyone inside the formation and focus on coasting.
"Rumble... Tens
of thousands of thunder beasts instantly charged toward the Dragonblood Legion. The void exploded, the violent pressure shattered the void, and the earth turned to nothingness. No force could withstand the simultaneous assault of over ten thousand Emperor Miao-level thunder beasts.
The Dragonblood warriors were terrified. Their formation had actually been shattered. Even after countless battles, they still felt a chill in their hearts. With the formation shattered, how could they withstand so many Emperor Miao-level thunder beasts?
Long Chen's Dragon Bone Evil Moon was already in his hand. If the Dragon Blood Legion couldn't withstand this charge, he would have to strike.
"No need for you to intervene. Watch me, Feng Tian Shield."
Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, then suddenly her brow glowed. She formed hand seals with both hands, and endless willow branches and roots intertwined, forming a wooden shield barrier stretching thousands of miles around, protecting everyone within.
