80: Chapter 80 At least prepare a Faraday cage!

The black tribulation clouds were like a world-destroying millstone, moving like thunder!

Wherever the tribulation clouds passed, the world plunged into darkness; wild winds howled, and thunder rumbled. Along the way, whether they were Martial Artists, birds, or beasts, all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

"W-what is going on?!"

In Chengtian Prefecture, Grandmaster Pei Wendao looked at the black tribulation clouds in the distance, which resembled a world-destroying millstone, and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "How can the tribulation clouds move on their own?!"

"The person Undergoing Tribulation is actively leading the tribulation clouds away from the city!"

A flash of shock crossed Principal Beigong Mo's eyes, but he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "This person actually has some benevolence; he does not wish to harm the innocent."

"The tribulation clouds seem to be heading toward the Black Wind Gobi! It is desolate and uninhabited there, the perfect place for Undergoing Tribulation. I will go and take a look!"

Principal Beigong Mo's eyes flickered. Before his voice had even faded, he transformed into a streak of profound light and chased after the tribulation clouds.

"Old Freak Shen, are you going?!" Watching Principal Beigong Mo chase after the tribulation clouds, Grandmaster Pei Wendao shifted his gaze toward Patriarch Shen Canglan at his side.

"Haha, the Martial King Heavenly Tribulation, such an Opportunity—how could I miss it? Old Ghost Pei, if you don't dare to go, then just stay aside and cool off. I'm leaving first!"

Patriarch Shen Canglan laughed heartily and stepped into the air, chasing in the direction of the tribulation clouds.

Watching Principal Beigong Mo and Patriarch Shen Canglan chase after the tribulation clouds, Grandmaster Pei Wendao pursed his lips and then resolutely followed suit.

For Martial Artists like them who had been stuck in the Great Grandmaster Realm for decades, the Martial King Heavenly Tribulation was not just a celestial phenomenon, but a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity to comprehend the Dao.

Witnessing the operation of the Heavenly Tribulation with their own eyes and experiencing the baptism of the Heavenly Laws might just trigger the Breakthrough of that internal shackle, allowing them to take that long-dreamed-of final step.

"Let's go too!"

At this moment, the various heads within the Prefectural Academy also rose into the air using their Qi and shot out toward the city outskirts.

It was not just them; along the way, more and more streaks of light converged from all directions.

There were Old Ancestors of the major clans in Chengtian Prefecture who had been in seclusion for many years, some Grandmaster retainers of various clans, and even some martial arts powerhouses who happened to be in the vicinity of Chengtian Prefecture.

Everyone was stirred by this once-in-a-century Martial King Heavenly Tribulation. Harboring the intent to witness the Opportunity, they sped toward the direction of the Black Wind Gobi.

...

Chen An operated his Domain of Earth, shrinking the ground into inches, traveling a hundred miles with a single step!

The pitch-black tribulation clouds overhead were like maggots on a bone, following closely behind. The rolling dark clouds blocked out the sun and moon, and the heavy Heavenly Might locked onto his aura, refusing to let go even slightly.

Thunder rumbled faintly within the clouds, and purple-gold lightning flickered constantly, with destructive pressure accompanying him the entire way.

Wherever the tribulation clouds passed, the Origin Qi of the world became frantically chaotic.

Even the space rippled slightly, and the magnificent Heavenly Might followed like a shadow, pressing down so hard that the birds flying in the low sky along the way all fell to the ground, and even the ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests prostrated themselves in their caves, trembling in fear.

Speeding along the way, a hundred miles, a thousand miles, passed in an instant.

Before long, he had completely left the territory of Chengtian Prefecture and stepped into a vast, boundless, and uninhabited Gobi region.

"This place is not bad!"

Looking at the desolate and uninhabited Gobi all around, Chen An finally stopped his steps, his figure standing atop the vast yellow sands.

At the same time, his mind stirred, and the skin and bones of his face quietly squirmed and changed. In just a few breaths, the originally delicate and handsome appearance of a youth disappeared, replaced by a square face with well-defined, resolute features.

Between his brows, there was a sense of composure that was awe-inspiring without even being angry; even his height had increased by half a head, and his aura had become heavy and restrained, making him look like a completely different person.

When out and about, always remember to wear a disguise!

This Heavenly Tribulation had caused such a huge commotion; he didn't know what kind of powerhouses it would attract.

As Chen An stopped, the sky-covering tribulation clouds overhead immediately followed, pressing down heavily ten thousand zhang above his head.

The thick dark clouds were stacked in layers, resembling heavy, solidified black skies, shrouding the entire world in shadow.

Deep within the clouds, countless purple-gold lightning serpents writhed and tumbled frantically, the crackling of lightning never ceasing, and terrifying Heavenly Might that could destroy all things spread wantonly.

Besides this, a more domineering and cold force of the Heavenly Dao imprisonment locked onto his Divine Soul like invisible chains.

This was the rule of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Once locked on by the Heavenly Tribulation, unless one perished and their Dao vanished, there was absolutely no possibility of escape; one could only resist to the end and survive the Heavenly Tribulation!

Rumble!!~~~

The tribulation clouds surged, and lightning flashed!

Bolts of lightning, dozens to hundreds of zhang long, shuttled and roared within the tribulation clouds like Dragons of lightning, shaking the vast Gobi so that it trembled slightly, and even the yellow sand beneath his feet sparked with fine electricity.

"This Heavenly Tribulation has some substance!"

Looking at the tribulation clouds slowly rotating like a world-destroying millstone, as well as the lightning bolts resembling Dragons, Chen An couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

Although his cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Early Stage of the Martial King Realm and his Realm was stable, facing those lightning bolts that were at least several zhang thick and hundreds of zhang long, he still felt an instinctive fear deep in his heart.

There was no helping it; this was the fear of lightning engraved deep within human genes.

Moreover, this was also his first time Undergoing Tribulation.

"Damn it, if I had known that reaching the Martial King Realm would involve a Lightning Tribulation, I wouldn't have been so reckless!"

"At least I should have prepared a Faraday cage or something?!"

"Now I don't even have a handy weapon; Undergoing Tribulation empty-handed is a bit too hasty!"

While Chen An was frantically complaining in his heart, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a long saber from his storage bag.

This saber was the Earth Rank High Grade precious saber gifted to him by his newly accepted Revered Master, Principal Beigong Mo.

"I have a saber now, but my Martial Skill seems to be lacking a bit!"

Chen An looked up at the Heavenly Tribulation, which was still gathering power overhead. His eyes flickered, and he secretly cursed in his heart:

"System!!!"

"Consume ten thousand balance to exchange for ten thousand hours of Cultivation time, and help me comprehend the Saber Intent of 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction' with all my might!!!"

It wasn't that he was out of money, but that he didn't dare to spend too much.

After all, there was still a Heavenly Tribulation overhead that might descend at any moment!

If he spent too much and delayed too long, and the Heavenly Tribulation struck, he would be in tragedy.

However, thinking about it, spending money under the Heavenly Tribulation was actually quite thrilling!

[Ding!]

[Exchange for twenty thousand years of Cultivation time successful!]

[Beginning to comprehend the Saber Intent of 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction'...]

The next moment, Chen An felt his vision blur and found himself back in that System space, seeing another version of himself.

In this space, as soon as the other version of himself appeared, he began to practice 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction' with a blade in hand. The first form, "Saber of Extinction: Swallowing the Heavens," was fiercely slashed out!

Where the blade light arose, endless blade shadows appeared, swallowing the firmament!

One year... ten years... one hundred years... one thousand years!

In one thousand years, he had Cultivated this Heaven Rank top-grade 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction' to Perfection.

Immediately after, he began to comprehend the Saber Intent of 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction'...
