NOVPUBChapter 837: 450 Chapter 837: 450 Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Family Clan Grounds.
In a valley behind the main peak, deafening roars were echoing at the moment.
On a clearing in the valley, Lin Shikang and several other members of the Lin Family of the same generation stood shoulder to shoulder. All of their gazes were fixed ahead, their faces showing worry.
Following their line of sight, the sky within the valley was dim, and several huge Thunder Dragons flew out from the dark clouds, roaring towards Lin Shilu in the valley.
Seeing this, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong were also solemn, incessantly muttering something under their breath.
At this moment, Lin Shilu was already covered in blood, with many wounds revealing his bones, and his aura was extremely chaotic, his complexion utterly bloodless.
He straightened his slightly bent body, looking at the Thunder Dragon materializing from the Third Level Heavenly Tribulation above him, his deep eyes revealing a sharp glare.
...
Facing the deadly tribulation, Lin Shilu was not scared at all; instead, his morale was high.
He knew how difficult the journey to this point had been, and that if he could survive this Third Level Heavenly Tribulation, he would become a genuine Golden Core Cultivator, and the Lin Family would also grow stronger.
With this understanding, Lin Shilu’s gaze was resolute. A flash of light in the defense artifact in his hand quickly formed a barrier above his head.
At the same time, he patted his storage bag, and several Second Order talismans were activated, transforming into several walls in front of him.
“Rumble…”
In an instant, the Thunder Dragon struck the walls precisely.
“Bang, bang, bang…” Bursts of explosions followed one after another.
The walls at the forefront were breached by the Thunder Dragon one after another, finally dissipating into specks of light in the dim sky.
In the blink of an eye, all five walls had been breached, and the Thunder Dragon continued roaring towards him, showing no sign of retreating.
However, Lin Shilu still felt a change; the speed of the Thunder Dragon had reduced, and its ferocity was significantly weaker than when it first appeared.
Clearly, his several Second Order talismans had played a significant role, greatly weakening the Thunder Dragon’s power.
It was no wonder; he had witnessed several Golden Core Tribulations and had made ample preparations for this.
Most of the Second Order Defense Talismans he used were of superior quality.
Such generous defensive measures, even if they couldn’t stop the tribulation completely, certainly helped in reducing its power.
As expected, after being weakened by the defense talismans, the remaining power of the Thunder Dragon, though still strong, was clearly less terrifying than initially.
Seeing the Thunder Dragon still approaching, he was confident he could block this lethal strike.
As the Thunder Dragon drew nearer, Lin Shilu pinched a Law Decree, then spat a mouthful of blood onto the defense artifact he wore.
“Sizzling…” After the odd noise,
The defense artifact emitted light, clearly enhancing its defensive power.
Just after he completed these actions, the Thunder Dragon had descended, striking the defense artifact accurately.
“Boom!”
A loud noise resonated, and immediately, a silver light tore through the sky, with powerful Gang Wind sweeping forth and dispersing to all directions.
At that moment, the defense artifact in front of him resisted momentarily, then burst apart completely.
The power of the Thunder Dragon seemed greatly depleted too, its entire body becoming much less coherent.
However, despite this, the Thunder Dragon still bit down towards him.
Lin Shilu’s expression turned severe. With no defense artifact to block, he had to rely on his physical strength to withstand this strike.
In a critical moment, Lin Shilu, calm and composed, instantly threw a punch, clashing forcefully with the Thunder Dragon.
“Boom…” Another loud bang was heard.
The Thunder Dragon was shattered into pieces by the punch, with much of its body directly vanishing.
However, some of the power of lightning continued to assault, striking Lin Shilu’s chest.
In an instant, his Daoist robe tore apart, revealing a cyan-colored inner armor.
At this critical moment, the inner armor played its part, blocking most of the lightning power from reaching him.
Yet, the power of this lightning was terrifyingly fierce, the slightest bit still possessing immense destructive force.
Under this horrific strike, Lin Shilu was blasted away by the overwhelming power, his body smashing heavily onto the ground.
Even while still in mid-air, he felt an immense force smashing down like a small mountain.
At the same time, streaks of lightning power surged into his body, frantically coursing through him.
The sensation was excruciating, causing his complexion to turn deathly pale, and his entire body trembled.
As he spat out several mouthfuls of blood, Lin Shilu’s energy drastically weakened.
However, his consciousness was clear, and he did not lose consciousness.
At that moment, he distinctly felt the Golden Core within his body tremble, the scant mana inside seemingly undergoing a transformation.
Sensing this change, he hurriedly looked up at the sky to find that the Thunder Dragon had vanished, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersing, and the originally dim sky beginning to clear up.
Seeing this, it was clear that he had survived the Threefold Lightning Tribulation and had successfully advanced to the Golden Core Stage.
At this moment, Lin Shilu was overwhelmed with excitement, a flush of color covering his originally pale face.
Finally calming down a bit, Lin Shilu looked at his chest where the second Order Superior Defensive Inner Armor that had almost been completely destroyed, leaving him feeling a sense of alarm.
