Chapter 878 - Thunder Tribulation (2/2)

The muscles on Chen Fan’s body turned inside out as eletric currents pa.s.sed through them, revealing his glowing azure bones.

Despite the severe injury, the Azure Thearch Longevity Body quickly regenerated after absorbing the energy in the divine thunder.

After eighteen lightning strikes, the sky darkened even more. Twisting lightning dragons danced around each other and formed a colorful lightning ball that spun above the clouds. It was gathering strength for a final blow.

“Hold on a second, is he still going through a tribulation?”

Zhao Juexian noticed that something was amiss.

“Nine strikes to form the normal Golden Core, nine more to form the Divine Grade Golden Core. That would be eighteen. Why are there more?” Zhao Juexian was perplexed.

Even Divine Grade Golden Core had levels.

Normal Divine Grade Golden Cores would undergo one to three strikes, mid-level ones would take four to six and only the most powerful and high level Divine Grade Golden Cores would take nine strikes. There was only one person in Planet Tianhuang’s recorded history that had undergone eighteen lightning strikes.

A Golden Core Thunder Tribulation had nine lightning strikes in total, and only Divine Grade Golden Cores would receive the highest number of lightning strikes. There were only very few individuals who had formed the Divine Grade Golden Core on the Planet Tianhuang.

Zhao Juexian thought that Chen Fan’s Golden Core was of Divine Grade based on his ability to kill the Ancient Demon Prince. However, he was dumbfounded when he noticed that the Thunder Tribulation continued even after eighteen strikes.

“Could his Golden Core be more powerful than those at the Divine grade? I have never heard such a thing.”

Zhao Juexian was shocked by his own deduction.

The lightning attack had finally arrived.

“Boom!”

This attack was more powerful than the eighteen previous ones combined.

Over ten lightning dragons formed an iridescent lightning ball and it swooped down with world-shattering energy. Lightning criss-crossed through the sky, destroying the world around it in an instant.

“Destroyer Divine Thunder.”

Chen Fan frowned.

Chen Fan would not be concerned if all five Essence Cores were still intact. However, he only had one Essence Core left right then. Worse, it had transformed into a strange halo that had properties unfamiliar to Chen Fan.

Even as he descended to the ground, a loud din reverberated. “Boom!”

The Divine Thunder landed on Chen Fan.

Unable to bear the weight, Chen Fan fell from the sky. Ma.s.sive electric currents went through his body, rending his flesh and tearing it opening. Only a Heavenly Lord could have taken the blow unharmed. It was still a bit too much for Chen Fan to handle.

However, Chen Fan was shocked when he found out that the energy of the iridescent lightning ball had all but been sucked into the halo.

The development seemed to have angered the heavens. It sent more lighting strikes down at Chen Fan. They were all powerful attacks, but the last one was particularly deadly.

Countless lightning bolts were braided into a chaotic energy with bright and dark bands.

“Grand Five Elements Thunder of Annihilation!”

Chen Fan had used this art before, but his execution paled under comparison with what he had to face at the moment. The appearance of the energy forced the ground to cave in and shake the Two World Peak. A pulse of overbearing energy weighted heavily on everything within its domain.

“Attack of a Heavenly Lord!”

Chen Fan’s face darkened.

This attack wielded the same amount of force as the True Demon’s killing blow. Not even the Ancient Demon Prince could have pulled it off. It was the power befitting a Heavenly Lord.

Zhao Juexian was terrified; he shook uncontrollably.

Spurred by the energy around it, the halo flew out of Chen Fan’s body and settled above Chen Fan’s head. It gave out brilliant rays of light like the sun. After the Thunder Tribulation, it had grown twice in size and started to gain a golden sheen.

The last Thunder Tribulation strike had nearly claimed Chen Fan’s life.

Chen Fan’s Phenomenal-success Divine Body exploded, sending out countless shards of crystalline bones. However, the halo had protected Chen Fan’s Divine Soul amidst a violent energy storm.

After a long while, the flashes of lightning had finally subsided.

Chen Fan started the secret art to reform the Divine Body.

“Phew, finally it’s over.”

Chen Fan heaved a sigh.

He had endured twenty seven lightning attacks in total, two more than in his past life.

“I didn’t expect it to be so powerful. Luckily I was protected by the halo. I wager it is going to be a sacred grade Golden Core.”

Chen Fan regarded the scintillating golden halo with a hint of regret in his eyes. He had hoped to obtain Deity grade Golden Core.

Even as he descended to the ground, a blaring sound was heard. “Boom!”

Thunder clouds above his head roiled again as countless lighting dragons roared above the clouds. Taken aback, Chen Fan looked up at the sky.

He watched as the sea of lightning had formed a giant Dharma Form.

The Dharma Form was half tutle and half snake, and was over a hundred miles long. It stepped on the Xuan Wu land and was surrounded by a dark tumultuous current. The Two World Peak trembled before its mighty presence. Zhao Juexian had never seen any being that commanded so much power.

However, Chen Fan was familiar with the energy of that beast. It was that of a Divine Beast.

The Thunder Tribulation was not over yet.
