Chapter 1495 (2/2)

In truth, the majority of the lightning beasts were charging toward Long Chen. That proved that the main target of the five-colored lightning was still Long Chen.

When the endless lightning beasts appeared, over a thousand five-colored dragons also appeared around Long Chen, fighting crazily against them.

“How… how is that possible?!” Zi Yan was filled with shock. How could the lightning beasts start fighting against each other?

In the next instant, she realized that these dragons were not the beasts of the lightning tribulation, but Long Chen’s thunderforce.

Long Chen had had Lei Long absorb the five-colored lightning from the start. It had silently sent its split bodies throughout the lightning tribulation, absorbing it. Having already transformed to become five-colored as well, its split bodies were like fish in water. No one had noticed them.

When Long Chen had been fighting against them, he hadn’t used any thunderforce. He had merely kept Lei Long’s main body with him to absorb any tribulation lightning that attacked him.

Lei Long was truly gluttonous. It had summoned eighteen hundred split bodies in one go. That was its limit. Eighteen hundred split bodies had been greedily devouring the five-colored lightning tribulation this entire time.

When the time came and they merged together, Lei Long would grow to a terrifying level.

However, right now, they had yet to merge again. Its split bodies might not be extremely powerful individually, but they had completely transformed to become the same as this five-colored lightning.

The tribulation lightning beasts ended up viewing them as coming from the same source, and so they didn’t attack Lei Long. They only charged at Long Chen.

Fortunately, Lei Long didn’t view them as coming from the same source. It viewed them purely as fat pieces of meat, and it crazily devoured them.

These huge lightning beasts were incredibly fierce, but they didn’t possess minds. They didn’t know how to fight against themselves and simply continued charging at Long Chen without attacking Lei Long.

As a result, Lei Long devoured them without any misgivings. The lightning essence it was devouring was the best meat to it.

Eighteen hundred dragons were pouncing on the lightning beasts in the sky while protecting Long Chen.

But even like this, there were too many of the lightning beasts. Many of them still got past the lightning dragons to attack Long Chen.

Long Chen slashed his saber at those. His saber was flickering with five-colored lightning as well. This was the power of Lei Long’s true body.

If Long Chen was using his own power against the lightning beasts, it wouldn't be this effective, and it would take more spiritual yuan. But with Lei Long’s a.s.sistance, killing these lightning beasts was much easier. He killed one with each slash of his saber.

When he killed the lightning beasts, they transformed into lightning runes and were absorbed by Lei Long’s true body that was still within Long Chen. Its growth rate was even faster than the split bodies, as the split bodies still required a great deal of effort to devour the lightning beasts of the tribulation. After all, each of those lightning beasts was just as large as them.

However, Long Chen could destroy them with a simple swing of his saber, and that efficiency allowed Lei Long’s true body to grow much faster.

Long Chen was handling his lightning beasts without much effort, but on the other side, Sha Guangyan, Peng Wansheng, and Ye Qingkuang’s expressions were growing unsightly.

Each time they attacked one of the lightning beasts, they needed to use a huge amount of energy. But worst of all, when the lightning beasts exploded, the exploding lightning would harm their bodies. Even their souls would feel a p.r.i.c.kling pain, making them almost cough up blood.

The three of them were Soul Transformation experts who had already started condensing their Yuan Spirits. If they were still in the Jade Core realm, their souls might not be able to bear the impact of this lightning.

Seeing Long Chen’s expression was so calm as he killed the lightning beasts without the slightest pain, they felt like they might go insane.

Although the majority of the lightning beasts were charging toward Long Chen, around thirty percent of them were still attacking the trio Empyreans. This thirty percent was horrifying, and the three of them were battered and exhausted.

After two hours, Sha Guangyan was the first to start wildly coughing up blood.

After four hours, Sha Guangyan, Peng Wansheng, and Ye Qingkuang were covered in blood. Having been injured multiple times, their combat power was starting to fall.

After six hours, the three of them had reached their limit. They had entered a deathbed struggle.

As for Long Chen, he was also covered in blood amongst these endless lightning beasts. There were just too many of them, and he was starting to run out of breath.

The people in the distance were watching with rapt attention. They knew the end was coming.

Suddenly, the lightning tribulation clouds in the sky began to rumble. They slowly gathered together, eventually forming five different-colored clouds right above Long Chen’s head.

“This is… the real five-colored lightning tribulation.” People stared in shock at the five clouds above Long Chen.
