NOVPUBChapter 782: Chapter 423 Passing the Heavenly Tribulation – 1 Chapter 782: Chapter 423 Passing the Heavenly Tribulation – 1 Watching the Thunder Dragon draw closer and closer, Lin Tianming slapped his storage bag, and three Second Order Defense Artifacts appeared in his hand.
Immediately, he cast spell incantations rapidly, accurately striking the artifacts.
“Hum hum hum…”
Strange buzzing sounds emanated as these defense artifacts flickered with light and quickly expanded, forming various barriers that tightly shielded him.
He was fast because he was well-prepared and keenly aware of the terrifying power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Even though he was always confident, he knew he must be careful.
Otherwise, if he died under the Heavenly Tribulation, it wouldn’t matter how talented or brilliant he was—without life, it was all empty talk.
In this situation, Lin Tianming pushed his cultivation technique to the limit, pouring spiritual power like mad into the defense artifacts.
...
Under his control, dazzling light surged on the surface of these artifacts as their defensive power was pushed to the extreme.
Just as he finished these defenses, the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation had already arrived, instantly reaching right above his head.
“Boom boom boom…”
The sound of thunder roared in Lin Tianming’s ears, the closeness of the noise making them painfully ring.
He looked up at the sky, only to see three Thunder Dragons roaring, their huge bodies piercing through the dense clouds, their gaping maws already wide open, with an authoritative dragon’s roar echoing between heaven and earth.
The Thunder Dragons were fast, moving through the clouds like fish in water, seemingly alive in appearance.
Under his gaze, the Thunder Dragons descended in an instant, directly hitting the defense artifact above his head.
A series of explosions resounded, light scattered throughout the sky, and the shockwave from the blast swept over.
In that brilliant light, the three defense artifacts appeared as fragile as paper, easily shattered by the Thunder Dragon.
Immediately after, the Thunder Dragon continued to charge at him, seemingly undeterred by the momentary blockage or its slightly spent force.
At this moment, the aura created by the charging Thunder Dragon was astonishing, with shockwaves from the blast sweeping in and causing Lin Tianming’s robes to flap noisily.
Lin Tianming felt the will of the Thunder Dragon and had personally witnessed the entire process of Lin Shikang’s tribulation.
He knew all too well that if he didn’t completely disperse it or exhaust its power, the Thunder Dragon would not stop.
And this was only the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation; the power of the subsequent two tribulations would surely double in strength.
He had only used three defense artifacts just now to conserve resources, not wanting to consume too many treasures too soon and be left in a passive state for the latter two tribulations. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
In his eyes, although the power of the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation was tremendous, he was a cultivator who practiced Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, his physical strength alone comparable to a Second Order Medium Quality Defense Artifact.
Moreover, the Thunder Dragon had already been significantly weakened, and the remaining power was probably quite limited.
If he could utilize his full physical strength, he could save some defense artifacts and avoid excessive consumption on external objects.
This strategy would allow him to endure a bit longer under the subsequent two layers of the tribulation.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Tianming remained calm, clenched his fist in haste, and launched a punch at the Thunder Dragon coming head-on above him.
His movement was clean and decisive, and although his fist seemed trivial and lacking in destructive force,
invisibly, a burst of energy shot from his fist, blasting the air in front of it.
In a blink, this energy collided with the Thunder Dragon.
A loud bang erupted, the Thunder Dragon’s form staggered midair, then let out a pained roar, seeming to be in agony.
They were locked in a stalemate for a moment, and as the energy from the punch dissipated, the body of the Thunder Dragon collapsed a fair amount.
Then, the Thunder Dragon fell again, striking directly against Lin Tianming’s fist.
In an instant, Lin Tianming felt a strong force assaulting through his fist, a tingling sensation accompanied by a sharp pain that quickly spread throughout every part of his body.
At the same time, his blood qi surged wildly within him as a few strands of lightning took the opportunity to invade his body and began to rampage.
This lightning, though only a few strands and out of his control, wreaked havoc inside him.
A series of crackling sounds emerged, alarmingly the result of the thunder and bones colliding.
Under this destructive force, Lin Tianming’s face paled, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his breath weakened momentarily.
He swiftly mobilized a large amount of spiritual power to suppress the invading lightning.
With his relentless pursuit, the power of the lightning was slowly consumed, and he finally forced it out of his body.
Afterward, he looked up at the sky again, only to find the Thunder Dragon had vanished without a trace, with only the dark clouds above still brewing with lightning.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming heaved a sigh of relief, his respect for the power of the Heavenly Tribulation growing.
But he also felt a secret joy that his physical strength was strong enough, coupled with the Blue Star Armor he always wore.
This Defense Artifact, originally a Second Order Medium Quality inner armor, had been promoted to Second Order Superior by Lin Shilu, who spent many treasures on it. After a period of refinement, the new Blue Star Armor’s defensive power was exceptionally outstanding, helping him resist much of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
