Free Web NovelChapter 285: Unexpected Turn of Events
Tang Yin only watched on as the 4 bolts of Tribulation Lightning descended beautifully, it was truly a sight to behold.
His Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique was quite durable, therefore he had the luxury to just stand there and watch like a spectator as the Tribulation Lightning drowned him in its power.
A deafening roar came from the bundle of Tribulation Lightning, which then exploded into a large mass of blue particles. Tang Yin reappeared at the centre of the blue particles, floating in the air. His skin was slightly scorched, but nothing major. Passive Regeneration healed these insignificant wounds in less than a second.
’8 Tribulations have been passed. 1 more left.’ Tang Yin leisurely brought out the last World Tribulation Fruit and devoured it.
The sky reeked of an ominous, foreboding air. The dark clouds in the sky did not disperse after the 8th Tribulation, they continued to gather, this time with more quantity from a further distance.
Tang Yin could feel all of the energy and clouds from the west, east and north zones gush towards the south zone with his divine sense. The power of the 9th Tribulation was evident. freёweɓnovel.com
The dark clouds swirled and churned like a vortex of chaos, crackling with dense electricity that could send shivers down the spine of even the bravest of cultivators. The sign of a mighty tempest about to release the 9th Tribulation upon Tang Yin became more distinct with each passing moment. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The energy in the atmosphere was palpable, evident that something of extraordinary momentum was about to occur.
The clouds continued to gather, their dark mass growing larger and more menacing by the passing second. Then suddenly, a colossal quantity of Tribulation Lightning flashed inside the clouds, ready to descend at any moment.
The Tribulation Lightning roared, shaking the very sea to its core as it continued to dance in the heavens. It was a breathtaking sight, even for Tang Yin who usually remained indifferent to everything.
Despite the pure destruction and chaos about to be brought forth by the Tribulation Lightning, there was just something undeniably beautiful about it. For in that moment, as the Tribulation Lightning continued to waft through the heavens, it was as if the world itself was alive with power and energy.
The dark clouds in the sky crackled with otherworldly energy, as 9 bolts of Tribulation Lightning suddenly crashed down with an unstoppable momentum. Each bolt shone with a flash of blinding brilliance, illuminating the night with its magnificence.
Tang Yin could instantly tell that each bolt of Tribulation Lightning possessed the power of the Early-stage Principle Manipulation Realm! For the first time since the beginning of the Tribulations, his expression turned grim.
But then, a mind-blowing scene occurred. The 9 bolts of Tribulation Lightning began to twist and writhe in the air as if they possessed a life of their own.
The 9 bolts of Tribulation Lightning crashed into each other and rapidly fused together in a dazzling display of electricity. The end result was a gigantic 10-kilometre-long dragon made entirely from the 9 bolts of Tribulation Lightning.
Its body crackled and glowed with the intense energy of the Tribulation Lightning, and its eyes remained neutral as if nothing could enter its gaze.
’Is this the impartiality of the heavens?’ Tang Yin’s grim expression turned graver. He could sense the sheer destructive power of the peak Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm from the dragon. Everything had happened too quickly, in the blink of an eye, everything surpassed his expectations.
The dragon formed from the 9 bolts of Tribulation Lightning seemed to regard the world with an imperial sense of detachment. Its scales gleamed with a cobalt blue colour, and the Tribulation Lightning coursing through its body beat with a rhythmic, thunderous sound that echoed across the Devil Sea Region’s south zone.
’I can’t take any chances. The amount of Lightning Essence contained in that dragon is larger than the previous 8 Tribulations combined. The heavens have truly sent me a precious gift.’ Tang Yin did not think about the power of the Tribulation Dragon. He was fully focused on the large quantity of pure Lightning Essence that could be obtained from it instead.
’Abyss Emperor Transformation’ Tang Yin called out in his head.
The effect was immediate, numerous black particles appeared from the surrounding 100 kilometres and surged towards Tang Yin. The black particles were Devouring Principles.
Within an instant, the Devouring Principles flooded into Tang Yin’s body, filling his veins with a dark energy. The power he felt was even more prominent than the last time he had activated the Abyss Emperor Transformation.
As he reached up to his head, he felt a weight settle upon it, the black crown of the Abyss Emperor. The crown was made of a dark, almost black metal that shimmered in the light, and it was studded with 3 crimson, ominous gems that glowed with a sinister light.
As Tang Yin took in the sight of the Abyss Emperor’s crown, he felt a dark imperial cape settle upon his shoulders, the fabric as black as night and trimmed with a crimson filigree that glinted in the light. The cape was adorned with a series of intricate designs that seemed to ripple and shift as he moved, and he felt a strange power emanate from it.
The Abyss Emperor Transformation continued as a piece of armour rapidly manifested around Tang Yin’s body. The piece of armour seemed to be made from a dark type of steel, accented with crimson trimmings. The edges of the armour flared into sharp points and curves, creating a menacing silhouette to anyone who lay their eyes upon him.
Back when Tang Yin had first undergone the Abyss Emperor Transformation, he did not have the luxury to take a good look at his appearance due to the bombardment of the Martial Beast Sect’s Head Elder.
However, things were different now. Despite the descending Tribulation Dragon, he could clearly take in the glorious appearance of the Abyss Emperor Transformation.
All of this may seem to have taken a long time to unfold, but it had only taken a couple of breaths in reality.
As soon as Tang Yin finished the Abyss Emperor Transformation, the Tribulation Dragon charged towards him.
Tang Yin quickly brought out the corpse of a Rank 6 Demonic Beast before devouring it.
A black aura of death surrounded his right hand whilst the distinct image of a skull tattoo manifested on the back of his right hand. Life and Death Seal!
As soon as the Life and Death Seal was activated, the Tribulation Dragon arrived before Tang Yin. He sent out the strongest punch he could muster straight towards the Tribulation Dragon’s snout.
BOOOOOOOM
A huge explosion occurred upon impact, the shockwaves generated from the effect rushed to 100 kilometres away and continued to spread further.
All the cultivators below the Qi Transformation Realm in the south zone were injured to a certain extent whilst the weak ones directly died from the shockwaves.
Zhang Chu and all the other Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators were shocked to their cores. They had not expected something like this to happen, even in their wildest dreams. It was as if the end of the world had arrived for them.
The cultivators who had not died from the shockwaves started to panic and chaos ensued in the south zone. Zhang Chu felt a massive headache incoming.
After the collision with the Tribulation Dragon, Tang Yin was barely injured, but it was dealt with by Passive Regeneration anyway.
As for the Tribulation Dragon, it directly exploded into a colossal amount of blue particles. It appeared as if a swarm of blue fireflies occupied a 20-kilometre radius around Tang Yin.
This was to be expected. After all, Tang Yin had utilized the full power of his Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm body which was further enhanced by the Abyss Emperor Transformation which was then empowered by the Life and Death Seal. Even Peak-stage Rank 7 Demonic Beasts would find it difficult to survive such an onslaught let alone a Tribulation Dragon with Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm strength.
Tang Yin already knew about the consequences of the shockwaves which had killed some cultivators and caused chaos to follow in the south zone. But he did not care. At most, he would just reward Zhang Chu with something extra for his troubles.
Putting all of this aside, Tang Yin rushed to collect the scattering Lighting Essence in the atmosphere. This was a precious opportunity that he would most likely never encounter again.
As he tore through the air, the blue particles were swiftly captured and stored inside the white vial. Tang Yin made sure to grab every blue particle, not bypassing even a single one.
Within a minute, every single particle of Lightning Essence was captured and stored inside the white vial.
The white vial was brimming with the Lightning Essence of the Tribulation Lightning. Even Tang Yin was shocked by the amount he had collected, it had exceeded his expectations.
By now, almost all the dark clouds in the sky had receded, replaced by the usual pearly white clouds. The 9 Tribulations had officially come to an end.
The extremely thick aura of an Early-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator radiated from Tang Yin.
Tang Yin quickly stashed away the white vial brimming with Lightning Essence into his storage ring before excitedly opening the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit in his mind.
