Chapter 1366
Cracking noises suddenly rang out from Long Chen’s body . He looked inside himself in shock to see that his 108,000 immortal platforms had cracked .
A vague divine light came from behind the cracks .
“So the one going through tribulation just now wasn’t really me, and my tribulation only starts now? What a scam!”
Long Chen’s face turned dark . Just now, the Divine Gate had infuriated the heavens and increased the power of the tribulation as much as possible, then it had left this tribulation to him .
Just thinking of how the Divine Gate had repeatedly smashed apart the tribulation clouds to raise its power was enough to cause despair .
Originally, Long Chen had thought that his luck had taken a turn for the better . But now, he realized it was all a scam .
“Since there’s no way out, let’s fight! Lei Long, don’t fill up on rations . Eat some fresh food!”
Seeing the horde of lightning beasts charging at him, Long Chen summoned a huge lightning blade and charged forward himself .
BOOM!
A flash of lightning went through the lightning beasts . The lightning beasts were cut down in droves .
Lei Long also appeared beside Long Chen after hearing his call . With a roar, it pounced on the lightning beasts .
Long Chen felt inexhaustible energy coming from every inch of him . Each strike of his blade destroyed multiple lightning beasts . It wasn’t that the lightning beasts weren’t powerful, but that Long Chen was even stronger .
His Divine Gate had been opened, and the embryonic form of the Divine Gate Star had been condensed, explosively growing his power . These lightning beasts that he had felt to be incredibly powerful just before were destroyed in waves .
“Lei Long, go back for now!”
Long Chen suddenly put away Lei Long . He realized that this was different from his past tribulations . The lightning runes from the slain lightning beasts were being absorbed by his body .
The thunderforce of these runes didn’t invade his body . Instead, they went to his 108,000 immortal platforms .
More and more cracks appeared on his embryonic platforms as he absorbed more thunderforce . It was like something was about to break out of a coc.o.o.n .
“I need to absorb this much thunderforce to break my platforms and condense them into cores?”
Seeing the change in his immortal platforms, Long Chen put away Lei Long to prevent it s.n.a.t.c.hing the thunderforce he needed . Wielding his lightning blade, he slaughtered the lightning beasts, bathing himself in a sea of lightning .
There were far too many of them . Even after six hours, their numbers hadn’t dropped . The world was still filled with lightning, and it was impossible to see anything within .
Yet, Long Chen was comforted to see more and more cracks appearing in his immortal platforms . Divine light was coming from behind those cracks . As that light blossomed, his body absorbed the thunderforce as well . His blood, flesh, and bones were all bathed by the light . It was like he was being reborn .
BOOM!
The lightning beasts suddenly vanished . Instead, replacing them was a ma.s.s of human-shaped lightning figures . They all possessed terrifying auras and undefeatable wills .
“Ancient Heroic Spirits? They were unrivaled experts when they were alive? Let’s see who’s more unrivaled!”
Long Chen had encountered these human lightning figures back when he had undergone tribulation in the Immemorial Path . He knew that they were experts who had fallen to heavenly tribulation in the past . Their fighting styles had been imprinted in the Heavenly Daos, and now the Heavenly Daos summoned incarnations of them to fight Long Chen .
Long Chen charged toward the human lightning figures . A b.l.o.o.d.y battle was fought .
There were tens of thousands of the lightning figures . Blood quickly covered Long Chen’s body, as each one of these lightning figures was a powerful expert . They possessed their own unique powerful moves, and for him to be surrounded by this many, he was quickly injured .
Although blood dyed his robe, Long Chen was still fearless . As he fought, his aura only grew stronger . With each attack, he blew apart dozens of them .
Those lightning figures transformed into runes after being blown apart, and they were absorbed by his immortal platforms . The cracks on his immortal platforms grew larger, and there were signs of pieces being about to fall .
As the cracks grew larger, Long Chen managed to see what was behind them . Inside each of the platforms was a bead . Indistinct primal chaos was circulating within them, and they nourished his body .
As he killed, more and more pieces fell from the platforms, revealing what was inside .
For normal Foundation Forging experts, entering the Jade Core realm involved transforming the immortal platform into a core . The Jade Core realm was sometimes called the Golden Core realm, or the Divine Core realm . That was because the majority of people condensed cores that were golden . Only a small portion of people had different-colored divine cores . Some of those people were highly specialized elemental experts, while some were just oddities .
As for Long Chen, he found that what he had wasn’t even a core . As his immortal platforms shattered, he saw that inside each one was clearly a star flowing with primal chaos . This meant that 108,000 stars were in the midst of being born . Primal chaos s.p.a.ce was circulating, strengthening his body .
