Chapter 091: The Thunder Tribulation Descends

Sensing the terrifying thunder to the extreme, Yang Tian's body suddenly stood up. A long river of blood and qi instantly floated above his head, his aura rising step by step to the heavens. The acupoints in his body operated at full power, and the golden eye continuously projected into the river of blood and qi.

“Bang!” Yang Tian’s foot stomped hard, his black hair dancing in the void, his clothes rustling. His entire body shot upward like a cannonball toward the thunder.

“Yang Tian has lost his mind—he’s using his physical body to block it!” Seeing Yang Tian’s crazy move, many were greatly shocked. No matter how strong the flesh, how could it compare to a thunder tribulation?

“Little beast, I knew you had no treasure to protect you. How will you survive this time, you disciple of the sect?” Li Hongtao laughed loudly, as if pronouncing a death sentence, wielding authority over heaven and earth.

“You know nothing.” Hearing the murmurs around him, Qing Yuan frowned and let out a cold shout. Yang Tian’s physical body was extremely strong, and he possessed the Water of Life. This bit of thunder could not defeat him.

The cold shout exploded like thunder, and the people around fell silent, not daring to talk back. Qing Yuan’s reputation was too great, and he was exceedingly ruthless.

Bang bang bang! The thunderlight was dazzling. Yang Tian’s entire fist smashed into the thunder arcs, and the blood and qi of his whole body roared furiously, continuously shattering the vacuum.

Boom! The thunder blazed across the world. This thunder arc was extremely terrifying, directly breaking through Yang Tian’s indestructible flesh and burrowing into his body.

Bang! Yang Tian’s body shook violently and fell directly onto the stone platform. His entire arm was nearly smashed, bones shattered, and his body instantly overflowed with blood.

“Good, good!” Li Hongtao laughed wildly, as if confirming his inner thoughts.

“Yang Tian is too reckless, daring to forcibly resist the power of the thunder tribulation.” The people around murmured, contempt clear in their eyes.

Qing Yuan and Xing Hao exchanged a glance, confusion in their eyes. They knew Yang Tian had a Dao artifact, and a very powerful one at that, but he hadn’t used it, only relying on his physical body to block.

“Pfft…” The thunder arcs inside his flesh madly destroyed Yang Tian’s body. His originally formidable muscles, under the thunder tribulation, seemed fragile and weak, directly shredded. Yang Tian spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Damn, this hurts so much.” Yang Tian’s mouth twitched, his face ferocious. Skin kept peeling off his body, revealing red flesh, and his vitality shrank to the extreme. Wisps of leaping thunder arcs nearly pierced through Yang Tian’s flesh.

“Such a powerful thunder tribulation.” Yang Tian gritted his teeth, shook his head hard, and suddenly sat cross-legged, forcibly suppressing the heart-wrenching pain.

“War Heaven Bronze Body, condense for me!” Swallowing a King of Heaven Heart-Nourishing Pill, Yang Tian suddenly roared. The nearly dried-up river of blood and qi surged, and the surrounding ancient energy converged madly.

Inside Yang Tian’s body, countless streams of ancient energy formed small vortices, coiling around the thunder arcs. The scene was extraordinarily spectacular. At the same time, the rate of devouring surged again.

A huge vortex appeared above Yang Tian’s head, and the surrounding ancient energy trembled continuously.

“Such a strong devouring speed.” The people around were shocked. The ancient energy on the martial platform was rapidly shrinking. Those who had not broken through in cultivation already hated Yang Tian to the bone, and with the thunder tribulation in the sky, they simply couldn’t calm down to cultivate.

On his flesh, the leaping thunder arcs were continuously refined. Countless vortices surged wildly, and the refined threads of lightning power poured into his flesh, causing the strength of Yang Tian’s body to skyrocket.

“Absorbing the power of the thunder tribulation to forge the War Heaven Bronze Body—this technique is too insane. The one who created it is a complete madman.” Although the refining speed was astonishing, the pain Yang Tian endured did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it gradually increased.

Rumble! After about half an hour, when the thunder arcs inside Yang Tian’s body were nearly refined, the thunder tribulation in the sky continued to surge, its aura three times stronger than before.

The vitality emanating from his flesh was astonishing. On Yang Tian’s body, wisps of silver light emerged. The hardness of his flesh not only skyrocketed but also contained even more vast energy.

Boom! The suppressed aura exploded. A thunder tribulation suddenly descended, cutting through layers of void, its terrifying aura bearing down directly on Yang Tian’s body.

“Come on.” Yang Tian opened his eyes, a startling silver glint flashing through them. Gazing at the thunder arc hurtling down from the sky, the blood and qi of his whole body rose step by step, each wisp terrifying beyond measure.

Bang! His foot stomped hard, and the energy accumulated to the extreme roared out, clashing head-on with the thunder tribulation.

Boom! The moment he touched this thunder, Yang Tian’s body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. His bones were all shattered, and the freshly condensed flesh instantly split open.

Yun’er kept her eyes tightly shut. She could imagine the immense pain Yang Tian was enduring. She also knew in her heart that Yang Tian was using the thunder tribulation to cultivate. This crazy approach made her want to know what exactly Yang Tian was enduring.

It seemed as if some driving force was pushing him forward. Yang Tian’s martial will was extremely firm, like a sharp sword that could destroy anything in the world.

Yang Tian coughed blood, continuously refining the energy contained in the thunder arcs. His physique was strengthening—a terrifying rate of transformation—but the price was enduring pain that ordinary people could not bear.

Boom! Another thunder tribulation descended, as thick as an arm. Yang Tian’s flesh was directly pierced through, green smoke rising from his entire body. This was an unimaginable pain.

Yang Tian coughed blood repeatedly, desperately restoring his cultivation. He dared not slow down even a little. Moreover, he absolutely could not take out the Water of Life unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, it would attract the greed of the powerful, and Yang Tian would be in big trouble.

In the sky, the pitch-black clouds writhed in the void. Thunder serpents constantly darted within, and terrifying energy spread continuously. The people around kept retreating; this was a pressure from the depths of the soul.

“The fourth heavenly thunder is coming soon. It should be over, right?” Staring at the rolling thunderclouds in the void, Xing Hao’s face was extremely solemn. The power contained within was too astonishing; he wasn’t sure he could withstand it.

“Let’s hope so.” Qing Yuan sighed and said slowly. He always felt that the heavenly thunder was not so simple. Being able to trigger four heavenly thunders was already extraordinary. In the future, Yang Tian’s path would often be struck by lightning.

“I think it’s more than four.” Shan Qu shook his head slightly, his scholarly face full of gravity.

Just as they were discussing, the thunder serpents in the sky suddenly writhed. A thunder tribulation about the size of a baby’s head descended, carrying boundless might. A fierce and dreadful pressure roared out, crashing down toward Yang Tian’s head.

“Hah.” Yang Tian rose, silver light bursting from his entire body. The energy of his flesh continuously pressed against the vacuum, his vitality astonishing. His body suddenly charged upward toward the thunder tribulation!

Bang! He punched directly. The moment his fist touched the thunder arc, Yang Tian’s freshly condensed flesh was quickly torn apart. Fierce thunderlight surged into his body, blasting Yang Tian’s body ten zhang away.

“Cough, cough!” All his bones were shattered. Yang Tian coughed blood continuously, his entire arm reduced to a pile of mud. He struggled to sit cross-legged, frantically devouring the surrounding ancient energy.

Many people around couldn’t help but close their eyes. The thunder tribulation was too brutal, nearly piercing through his flesh. Their admiration for Yang Tian grew; this kind of pain was an unbearable torment.

“Is it about to end?” Seeing that the energy gathering in the sky showed signs of fading, Qing Yuan murmured softly. A moment later, his face suddenly froze.

At that moment, the gathered clouds in the sky had just begun to dissipate when the surrounding ancient energy suddenly rushed over, madly surging into the clouds. The might was twice as strong as before.

The entire void was nearly turning into a sea of thunder. This was an astonishing celestial phenomenon.

“The fifth heavenly thunder!” The crowd below was greatly alarmed. Surviving the fourth heavenly thunder was already an extraordinary feat, and the power of the fifth was multiplied compared to the fourth.

“Haha, Yang Tian, oh Yang Tian, let’s see how you take the remaining four heavenly thunders.” Li Hongtao’s face, which had just darkened, instantly lit up with joy as he laughed wildly.

“If Yang Tian can survive eight heavenly thunders, he might one day contend with the Divine Son.” Qing Yuan pursed his lips and sat cross-legged. Worrying was useless now; all paths needed to be forged by Yang Tian himself, to fight out his own world!
