Chapter 737: Rage Of The Unwilling (1/2)

Right now, King Hong exuded a dauntless aura. It soared to the sky, as if clashing against the Tribulation lightning instead. Lin Mu observed it too and found the aura to be powerful, and even a little bit familiar.

'Why is it familiar?' Lin Mu wondered.

He observed King Hong who was facing the tribulation and saw his spirit Qi roiling.

”Survive!” Lin Mu said.

~KABOOM~

The Tribulation thunder descended and pierced the Tribulation attenuation formation's barrier. This time it barely managed to reduce it by 20% and King Hong faced eighty percent of its power.

”AAAAAAAAA!” King Hong let out a battle cry as he bore the force of the lightning.

They flowed in through his head and spread throughout his body. His robes were charred and his skin was burned in many places. His hair was either burned away or stood like spikes.

His eyes thought shone with an unyielding light and he forcibly held his ground. His bones though, creaked under the pressure and his knees started to bend.

”I… will… overcome this!” King Hong said with determination.

Lin Mu looked at the man and tried to see just how far he was. He wanted to see if his core was anywhere close to hatching or not. But in the current situation, it was hard to do so.

”The tribulation should also be a good judgment, right?” Lin Mu muttered as he observed it.

His spatial perception activated, and he peered past the clouds. There he could see that the spatial crack from which the tribulation energy was entering this world was still there. It had shown no sign of reducing.

”Not over…” Lin Mu said.

”It may have ended at this bolt if you had not blocked the earlier bolts. This may have just made it more difficult for him.” Senior Xukong spoke.

”We had no choice… it was either giving him the chance to survive for long on a harder difficulty or dying early.” Lin Mu replied.

”Hmm… though his core should be close to being fully cracked. This single bolt was already as powerful as the first three bolts combined.” Xukong spoke.

”Hopefully it's enough.” Lin Mu replied.

He then went silent and watched on as the tribulation seared the body of the king.

~zisssss~

The lightning bolt was finally overcome by King Hong but it had left him in dire starts. His knees were half bent, and it now looked like he was in the horse stance instead. His eyes had also dimmed down considerably.

”HAA…. Haaa… Haaa…” King Hong took labored breaths as he tried to stabilize his condition.

That single bolt had managed to take all of his strength and stamina.

~Rumble~

The sound of thunder echoed in the sky again, as if taunting the king again.
