Chapter 1538: Sure Death Tribulation, Divine Lightning Beas

That rune grew larger and brighter until it was blinding within the darkness.

It was like a giant star was expanding until it was about to explode. Its fierce light was like sharp blades piercing this s.p.a.ce, and the divine pressure present would make any person feel despair.

Within this world of darkness, there was nothing except for that apocalyptic light. The only thing here was death and destruction.

“It really didn’t give you a chance of survival at all…” muttered Evilmoon.

Long Chen was panting for breath as he held his head. The fierce pain in it made him unable to think straight at the moment.

Only after a few breaths’ time did he feel like he could think again. Waving his hand, he pulled his Yuan Spirit into his mind-sea.

In that final attack, he had used his Spiritual Strength to unleash the fifth form of Split the Heavens. In truth, the timing of his attack had been very lucky. If it had been too fast, it wouldn’t have blocked the divine lightning’s attack. If it had been too slow, he would have been struck first. Either way, he would have been doomed.

Although he had managed to destroy the majority of the divine lightning’s power with that attack, his Yuan Spirit had still taken a large blow. It had rapidly shrunk on contact with the divine lightning, becoming only a foot tall.

It was even more condensed and powerful now, but Long Chen had used up far too much Spiritual Strength with that attack. He couldn’t unleash it a second time.

The main thing was that he wasn’t able to perfectly control his Yuan Spirit at this point. At least eighty percent of his energy had been wasted during that attack.

After all, a Yuan Spirit was not the true body or a clone. As it was an entirely separate ent.i.ty, pa.s.sing energy back and forth resulted in a portion of it being wasted. Long Chen felt regret for all the Spiritual Strength that had been wasted.

As he put away his Yuan Spirit, Lei Long roared. Just now, when Long Chen had attacked the divine lightning, it had carefully captured a few of the divine lightning’s runes.

However, those divine runes were too tough, and no matter how it tried, it couldn’t subdue them. It was like a mortal had swallowed chunks of iron. There was no way for it to digest them.

“Lei Long, give up. You can’t digest that, so don’t waste the effort. Lend your power to me,” said Long Chen as he looked at the giant rune hanging in the air.

Only then did Lei Long unwillingly spit out the divine lightning runes it had swallowed and fly back to Long Chen’s arm.

Those divine runes slowly faded back into heaven and earth, vanis.h.i.+ng without a trace.

Divine lightning was different from tribulation lightning. It contained a divine element to it. After receiving three of its attacks, Long Chen had some understanding of it. It was because of that understanding that he was feeling uneasy.

The divine light in the sky suddenly came to a stop. The huge rune hung in the sky like a sun.

Cracks began to appear on the rune, and Long Chen’s nerves tensed. He summoned a powerful lightning blade to his hands and poured Lei Long’s energy into it. Whether he lived or died would depend on this.

The cracks on the rune spread. It was like a seal was breaking, and the energy from the other side was coming out. He had no idea what kind of existence was trying to break out of its seal.

BOOM!

The giant rune exploded. A white light streaked toward Long Chen.

“It’s here!”

Long Chen’s heart shook. The attack he had been brewing this whole time was launched, and the lightning blade sliced through s.p.a.ce.

This attack he had been brewing this entire time slashed heavily onto the white light. An explosive sound rang out, and a blinding light made it so Long Chen couldn’t see what happened.

BOOM!

His lightning blade exploded, and he was sent flying back. His blood and flesh splattered all over the place.

Long Chen was shocked. In that single exchange, his physical body had been stripped of a whole layer of skin and flesh. Blood covered his entire body now.
