This was a terrifying spectacle, Li Xiaotian battling through the heavenly tribulation, ascending to the highest heavens in a single breath, confronting the tribulation head-on without flinching. How ferocious, how domineering!
Was this a provocation to the heavenly tribulation?
He bathed in the lightning, his entire body crimson, like a rock, translucent from head to toe, as if cast from glazed porcelain.
"Such fearsome lightning, what kind of heavenly tribulation is this!"
All the trialists were terrified. Li Xiaotian was simply too powerful, sweeping through everything, charging into the heavenly tribulation. Though wounded all over, he remained valiant, not retreating a single step.
"Clang!"
He grabbed a war spear, condensed from stars, its sharpness unstoppable.
"Shing!"
The war spear danced, unleashing myriad divine rays, each capable of piercing galaxies, striking forward, invincible.
He charged wildly through the tribulation, unstoppable. His aura grew increasingly potent, like a resurgent God King.
"Roar!"
A low growl echoed from the sea of lightning, like the roar of a monstrous beast. Invisible ripples spread, shaking the surroundings.
"Rumble!"
Heaven and earth resonated. Electric serpents coiled, countless bolts of lightning intertwined, forming a colossal net that blotted out the sky, descending upon them.
"Bang!"
Li Xiaotian's body glowed. He soared into the air, like a dragon plunging into water, diving from the heights. The war spear in his hand struck the firmament, piercing the sea of lightning and tearing a massive hole.
This scene was too terrifying, chilling countless people. Had Li Xiaotian truly succeeded in passing the tribulation?
"Crack!"
An immensely thick bolt of lightning swept down, like a mountain range pressing down, causing one to tremble, with no escape.
Two terrifying beams of light erupted from Li Xiaotian's eyes. With a soft snort, his body became covered in runes. He thrust out his war spear, and a dark pillar of light shot towards the heavens.
"Bang!"
The sky trembled. The thick lightning bolt was pierced, a large hole torn through it by Li Xiaotian's war spear, neutralizing the threat.
"Swish, swish..."
Infinitely cascading electrical light poured down, all surging into the heavenly tribulation, causing this place to boil. Li Xiaotian's body shone brilliantly; he seemed to have become a master.
He let out a long cry, pressing forward relentlessly, battling the endless lightning. Every strike seemed capable of piercing stars.
"Puff," "Puff" ...
Blood splattered. Li Xiaotian was injured. Despite his robust physique, he still succumbed to the tribulation. Several places were bleeding profusely, almost cleaved apart.
He was undergoing tribulation; this was a necessary path. He needed the lightning tribulation to temper his body and bring about his transformation.
The trialists watching were already numb, unable to describe their feelings. The second lightning tribulation was more terrifying than they had imagined, far surpassing Mo Tian's third lightning tribulation.
At the same time, Li Xiaotian's power struck them with awe.
This heavenly tribulation was exceptionally vast and astonishing. If it were in the outside world, it would surely be recorded in history. The endless lightning strikes, each capable of easily killing a peak sixth-order expert.
Li Xiaotian cried out, his blood churning. His body radiated light, like a sun, illuminating the entire starry sky.
He threw a punch, and the heavens and earth shook, the starry river trembled, all lightning scattering, shattered by his blows.
This sight was horrific. This was a heavenly tribulation, not to be desecrated, yet it was forcefully dispersed by Li Xiaotian.
"Rumble!"
The heavens and earth were covered in dark clouds, with thunder and lightning. Bolt after bolt of lightning struck down, like a bursting dam, surging and crashing towards Li Xiaotian, seeking to engulf him.
Li Xiaotian looked up at the sky and roared. His body erupted with divine radiance. He bathed in the starry river, like an ancient god, his body glowing, contending with the heavens.
"Bang!"
The place trembled. Waves after waves surged. He maneuvered through the heavenly tribulation, fighting it, charging towards the distance.
Starlight cascaded, the starry river shattered, the aura of the heavenly tribulation grew stronger. Li Xiaotian bathed in the sea of lightning, carving a path to survival, charging into the depths of the lightning tribulation.
"Puff!"
Finally, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His chest was pierced, and he almost perished, suffering severe injuries.
Upon seeing this, many trialists couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes flickering. This was the first serious injury Li Xiaotian had sustained since the tribulation began!
For a moment, many harbored thoughts. Li Xiaotian's injury brought them a sigh of relief. After all, the tribulation's power exceeded their imagination. If Li Xiaotian passed without a scratch, it would be unacceptable to them.
But now, Li Xiaotian was injured, proving that his power had limits, that he was not truly invincible!
Thunder rumbled, and the heavenly tribulation intensified, eventually resembling a doomsday scene, as if the end of the world had arrived, intent on destroying everything.
Simultaneously, Li Xiaotian's clothes were tattered, revealing wounds all over his body, some even exposing bone. This made the numerous trialists gasp; the battle was incredibly fierce.
Finally, as Li Xiaotian unleashed a black hole that devoured the vast sea of lightning, the second lightning tribulation ended.
For a moment, many trialists breathed a sigh of relief, but then, ferocity flashed in their eyes.
The third lightning tribulation was imminent. They knew without a doubt that it would be incredibly terrifying. Li Xiaotian would have to exert his full power to pass, and at this moment, he would be at his weakest.
It was foreseeable that the nine high-level experts lurking in the shadows, as well as some trialists with ulterior motives, would seize this opportunity to strike.
Otherwise, once Li Xiaotian successfully passed the tribulation, he would be the only high-level expert among these trialists in perfect condition, and also the strongest!
Of course, this was merely their conjecture, for they knew that Li Xiaotian's chances of successfully passing the tribulation were slim to none, a near certainty of death!
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
Li Xiaotian stood in the void, his body shimmering with golden light. The injuries sustained during the tribulation rapidly healed.
Concurrently, the nine high-level experts lurking in the surrounding star regions wore solemn expressions, their eyes flashing with ferocity.
Mo Tian produced a demonic blade, lightly wiping it, the blade emitting a humming sound.
Shen Ming's palm materialized a ball of divine light, within which phenomena rotated, resembling a world.
The other seven high-level experts also made their moves, and even the trialists who had not broken through reacted secretly, their eyes flashing with killing intent.
Even though these trialists knew they were no match for Li Xiaotian, they understood that the main force would not be them; they were merely seeking to profit from chaos.
Yet, even so, if Li Xiaotian died, absorbing his Dao power and the insights from his tribulation would be a significant opportunity.
"Rumble!"
A muffled thunderclap echoed in the void. The space where Li Xiaotian stood began to change, with fierce winds and flashing lightning.
The third lightning tribulation was about to appear!
And in Li Xiaotian's eyes, divine light flickered. His aura ascended to its peak at this moment, releasing all the Dao rhythm of the Devouring Dao.
In a trance, one could see a dark, sky-piercing Dao behind Li Xiaotian, leading into the void.
The Devouring Dao. Li Xiaotian had passed the first and second lightning tribulations relying on his inherent combat power. For the third, he would need to employ all his means to have a chance of survival!
