Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5142 Endless Killing Tribulation

Long Chen dove into the heart of the Heavenly FlSourcestone, causing a surge of flames to erupt outward. The force of the explosion sent Lu Fan and the others hurtling through the air.

Despite their immense power, the flames were gentle. Otherwise, it would have directly crushed them to dust. Lu Fan knew that these flames wouldn’t be able to harm him, which was why he charged forward. However, it was useless; he was blasted back just like everyone else.

A chill ran down Lu Fan’s spine as he realized that the Brahma rune’s fluctuations were absent from these flames. It meant that the flames had escaped his control.

While the rest of them were blasted away, Long Chen, who was at the very top, and Bai Yingxue and the others were not affected. The flames had erupted from the central band of the Heavenly FlSourcestone, leaving the top and bottom areas with the least impact.

”I’ll kill you!” Lu Fan’s face twisted with rage as he let out a heart-rending roar. His hatred for Long Chen had reached a boiling point. Long Chen had ruined all his plans.

When Long Chen used the Earth Cauldron to smash the Heavenly FlSourcestone, he shattered the divine Brahma rune, breaking Lu Fan’s control. Without that binding, Lu Fan had to compete for the Heavenly Flenergy just like everyone else.

Lu Fan roared and charged through the tide, followed by Li Tianfan, Luo Yujiao, Qin Keqing, Huang Wudao, Netherdragon Wushang, and the others.

They didn’t know what had happened, but they realized their number one priority was to kill Long Chen. Just as everyone was charging toward Long Chen, Li Tianfan suddenly lunged toward Bai Yingxue and the others.

“Li Tianfan, remember, you’ll be the first one I kill!” Long Chen exclaimed, his gaze locked on Li Tianfan and his killing intent palpable. Li Tianfan was the epitof shamelessness in Long Chen’s eyes.

“Hahaha, thank you for your praise. We’ll see if you have the ability to back up your words!” Li Tianfan laughed at Long Chen’s threat, convinced that Long Chen was doomed. With so many experts attacking him, he believed there was no way Long Chen could withstand the onslaught.

“Laugh while you can. I hope you can still laugh in a bit!” Long Chen retorted, his voice filled with disdain. He then formed hand seals, and his suppressed aura erupted. A towering pillar of light shot up into the clouds.

“Idiots, you’re making your breakthrough now? Are you worried that you won’t die fast enough?!” sneered Netherdragon Wushang.

Invoking a heavenly tribulation could lead to a power leap toward the end, but during the initial stages, the person had to endure immense pressure and impact. Being attacked at that moment was the most dangerous thing, so they all viewed Long Chen’s actions as suicide.

Just as they thought this, enormous spears descended from the heavens, piercing the earth. Lu Fan and the others’ souls quivered, their instincts screaming at them to retreat immediately.

As they pulled back, thirty-six enormous lightning spears stabbed into the ground, blasting thirty-six giant holes in the void. The spears formed a deadly barrier around Long Chen, their sheer power making everyone’s soul ache.

Lu Fan and the others were stunned. The lightning spears radiated a suprlaw of annihilation, and if targeted, these experts would die without even having a chance to summon their Heavenly Fate Disks.

They were Heavenly Chosens—beings in command of the fate of the heavens. As heavenly tribulation was a condensation of the will of the Heavenly Daos, it wasn’t supposed to be lethal to them. That was why they had never feared heavenly tribulation.

However, these thirty-six lightning spears seemed indifferent to their status—anyone caught within their range would be killed.

These thirty-six lightning spears formed a cage around Long Chen, trapping him and those within the area, including Bai Yingxue, Feng You, and the others. The terrifying heavenly pressure made it impossible for them to move, and they felt like their bones would shatter. They could only watch in terror, paralyzed by the overwhelming fear that even a single breath might trigger their destruction.

Lu Fan and the others stared in disbelief as they couldn’t comprehend this. They had experienced many tribulations, but none like this. Even before the tribulation started, the tribulation clouds above were already swirling ominously, first trapping Long Chen so that he had no way to run.

This phenomenon was something even Long Chen had not seen before. The tribulation clouds were like a cosmos pressing down on him, and the suprwill of annihilation was palpable. For the first tin a long time, he felt the cold grip of death.

“You want to kill me? Let’s see if you have that ability,” muttered Long Chen. Faced with this unprecedented tribulation, his fighting spirit overflowed.

An invisible ripple spread out of Long Chen, striking the thirty-six lightning spears. The spears quivered violently, emitting a heaven-shaking rumble that caused the very earth to tremble. Everyone present felt their souls shudder, and they instinctively retreated, overwhelmed by the force of the clash.

“What is that?!” shouted a disciple of the Zither Sect.

“Long Chen is using his will to fight the will of the heavenly tribulation!” exclaimed Liao Yuhuang. She stared at Long Chen closely, filled with shock.

“What? That’s impossible! How can a person fight against the Heavenly Daos?!”

At this moment, the thirty-six pillars of lightning rumbled, and suddenly, Bai Yingxue and the others felt the crushing pressure that had been suffocating them dissipate. The force that had nearly broken their bodies was gone, and they could finally breathe freely again.

“Tighten your formation. Stay right beneath me,” said Long Chen.

Bai Yingxue and the others immediately followed Long Chen’s orders, positioning themselves directly beneath him. They had no other choice; if they attempted to escape, Lu Fan and the others would kill them instantly. Now that Long Chen had initiated his tribulation, they too broke through their bottlenecks. Pillars of light shot into the sky, but their light was swallowed by Long Chen’s tribulation clouds, disappearing without even a ripple.

“What’s going on?! The Heavenly Flenergy is contracting!” shouted a disciple from the Brahma Pill Valley.

With that shout, everyone noticed that the Heavenly Flenergy, which had been pouring out, had stopped and was now gathering around Long Chen.

“This bastard, he’s absorbing all the Heavenly Flenergy!” shouted Netherdragon Wushang. Only then did he notice a beautiful maiden beside Long Chen, forming hand seals and chanting. The seemingly endless flenergy was concentrating around her.

“Start your tribulations as well! Seize the Heavenly Flenergy!” Lu Fan roared. As a result, millions of experts broke through their bottlenecks simultaneously, causing pillars of light to soar into the sky.
