*Hong Long...* *Argh*

Along with a shrill wail, the Fifth Grade Combat Emperor was overwhelmed by the lightning strike. To a person totally inexperienced in surviving through a tribulation, the attack was lethal. The destructive force of the Heavenly Tribulation was based on the combat strength of its target. The tribulation force caused by this elder was far greater than what Jiang Chen imagined.

The Fifth Grade Combat Emperor elder was struck and burnt to smoke, leading to his demise. His corpse descended from the sky. Thunder Core and the other elders' expressions looked extremely pale. Their faces were the epitome of fear. The horror was far too great for them to handle.

A Fifth Grade Combat Emperor was struck by lightning, causing his death just like that. A gloomy scene occurred. Jiang Chen and the elder were both struck by the same lightning but the elder was burnt to death on the spot, while nothing happened to Jiang Chen when the lightning struck him. It was as if he had engulfed the whole electric current since he was perfectly fine. He even became more energetic.

This was absolutely unbelievable, how could the difference be this wide?

Sot Old Man was so stunned that his mouth were wide open as he stood framed on the ground. It was a totally shocking scene. Despite the fact that he had a cruel and brutal mind, he had never seen such a scene before. He was currently in a trance from the previous lightning attack.

“Why are you staying stunned there for? To die?”

Jiang Chen’s voice reached Sot Old Man’s ears like a thunderclap, vibrating within his eardrums frantically. He finally awoke from his trance and without replying to Jiang Chen, he immediately ran for his life. How could he not understand Jiang Chen’s warning? If he continued to stay where he was, he would be seriously affecting Jiang Chen’s performance. No one could truly control the Lightning Tribulation, not even Jiang Chen. The most he could do was to exploit the power of the tribulation by leading the destructive force to another area. The lightning that came after the one before would only continue to be even stronger, the radius of blast would be bigger, and it would be even more fearsome. If he stayed, he would not only affect Jiang Chen’s performance while fighting against Thunder Core, he might even be struck dead due to the overwhelming lightning.

At that time, Sot Old Man’s concern for Jiang Chen had faded away. It was his first time seeingsomeone exploit the power of the tribulation to kill their enemy, which was truly shocking. He could imagine that those two dudes would be finished if they were slightly slower.

*Hong Long*

The sky was trembling and was covered with millions of clouds. Another thunderclap rumbled and it was followed by a long red dragon flash of lightning.

Thunder Core’s facial expression turned hideous. He didn’t dare to delay as he shouted, “RUN!”

He had to run faster or else he wouldn’t have the chance to. They had to depend on their incredible speed as a Fifth Grade Combat Emperor to leave the battle.

“Want to run? It’s too late for that!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes glittered. They were fast, but his Spatial Shift was even faster. In a twinkle, he had successfully caught up with Thunder Core along with the second lightning strike. Thunder Core wailed as he was instantly wrapped by the flash of light. He faced the exact same conclusion as the previous elder. Another Fifth Grade Combat Emperor died under Jiang Chen’s hand.

After bearing the second lightning strike, Jiang Chen was still as good as new and remained as energetic. With his current condition, he could endure six cycles of Heavenly Tribulation without a problem. The true challenge lied in the last three cycles.

Seeing that not only his comrades were killed by the lightning, the last elder was so scared that his soul almost came out. He pumped his speed to the maximum as he disappeared into a spatial zone. Jiang Chen didn’t chase after the old man.

This was not because Jiang Chen didn’t want to chase after him, it was that he couldn’t. If a Fifth Grade Combat Emperor used all of his effort to escape, it was quite easy for him to escape as he had a high mastery of the spatial zone. However, if Jiang Chen was determined to hunt down that last elder, he might be able to catch up with. The only problem was that he couldn’t allow the Heavenly Tribulation to keep following him for long distances, as that would bring disasters to other domains.

As it was a nine cycle tribulation that he was facing, he didn’t dare to take it for granted. He had to reserve some strength to deal with the remaining seven more fearsome Heavenly Tribulation. As for the elder of Freedom Palace who managed to escape,Jiang Chen just let it be. If he met him next time, he would kill him for sure.

Jiang Chen was certain that if he could reach the Second Grade Combat Emperor after surviving this nine cycle great tribulation, he would be powerful enough to take care of a Fifth Grade Combat Emperor quickly.

*Hong Long*

The thunder rumbled. The third Heavenly Tribulation began to form like a lightning dragon, and struck Jiang Chen without warning. The trio of Tyrant, Big Yellow and Sot Old Man saw the scene from afar and even then, their heart beats were racing and their muscles were shuddering. Nonetheless, they didn’t saw neither a sign of nervousness nor panic on Jiang Chen’s face. It was as if surviving through the tribulation was a relaxing task.

Jiang Chen drew out his weapon. Dazzling light blinded them as the lightning bathed the entire sword and were rippling back and forth on it, making it seem very divine.
