Chapter 5146 Cauldron Appears
A giant black dragon appeared in the tribulation clouds. When its claw slammed down, it shook heaven and earth.
“It’s a Netherdragon!” Startled cries rang out. This was an immemorial Netherdragon with a suffocating aura. Its pressure was horrifying.
“That’s...!”
Netherdragon Wushang and the rest of the Netherdragon race’s experts were stunned to see it. This Netherdragon was a six-vein Heaven Saint, and it looked like the corpse that Long Chen had bought in the Glacial Heaven Domain’s marketplace.
“This idiot, he blasphemed my Netherdragon race’s senior and ended up invoking karma that manifested in his tribulation. He’s a dead man!” shouted one of the Netherdragon race’s experts excitedly.
They had wanted to buy this corpse back then. However, as the price was too high, Long Chen took it away in the end. This matter was viewed as a great disgrace to the whole Netherdragon race.
Now that their senior’s corpse appeared in Long Chen’s tribulation, radiating terrifying divine pressure, the Netherdragon race’s experts felt somewhat pleased.
BOOM!
Before the Netherdragon’s claw could reach Long Chen, Lei Linger’s lightning blade had intercepted it. However, the Netherdragon’s claw was so powerful that it shattered the blade instantly. Despite this, the interception managed to neutralize most of its power. Then, a dragon claw emerged from Long Chen’s divine ring.
BOOM!
Dragon claw clashed against dragon claw. Long Chen’s Cloud Dragon Immolation Claw managed to crush the six-vein Heaven Saint Netherdragon’s claw.
“Despicable, shameless!” Curses rang out from the Netherdragon race’s side as they viewed this two-against-one exchange as the height of shamelessness.
Hearing that, Bai Yingxue and the others were speechless. The conjured Netherdragon corpse was a six-vein Heaven Saint. How was it fair for it to attack Long Chen?
Watching how the Netherdragon’s claw was destroyed, Li Tianfan couldn’t help but sigh, “What a pity. The six-vein Heaven Saint dragon corpse replicated by the heavenly tribulation only has the aura of six veins, but its actual power is probably around a four-vein Heaven Saint. It can’t threaten Long Chen.”
Long Chen was bound to the dragon corpse by karma, but the corpse had been dead for too long, and the Heavenly Daos’ replication was based on its residual power. Thus, while the dragon corpse retained the aura of a six-vein Heaven Saint, it lacked its true strength. Working with Lei Linger, Long Chen managed to block its attack, causing the Netherdragon’s aura to plummet significantly.
Indeed, the replicated Netherdragon was just a shadow of its former self. It never displayed any divine abilities, so its killing power was equivalent to that of a four-vein Heaven Saint at best. The Netherdragon race experts had gotten excited too early.
Long Chen’s fist smashed into its head, and with a resounding explosion, the Netherdragon was blown apart. Countless lightning runes scattered through the air, absorbed by Long Chen and Lei Linger.
As Long Chen absorbed the lightning runes, the flame runes swirling around him were gradually drawn into his body. The laws of this place were very particular; the Heavenly Flame energy was absorbed in tandem with the heavenly tribulation energy, the two complementing each other perfectly.
In other words, if Long Chen wanted to absorb more Heavenly Flame energy, he needed to absorb more of the tribulation’s power. If his tribulation ran out of energy before he had absorbed all the surrounding Heavenly Flame energy, he would be forced to release what remained.
That was why Lu Fan was sure Long Chen couldn’t absorb this much Heavenly Flame energy. After all, a person could only endure a limited amount of a heavenly tribulation’s energy, and even Lu Fan couldn’t do such a thing without the Brahma rune.
After the conjured Netherdragon was blown apart, giant devils and greater demons started to appear in the tribulation. No one knew about their origins, but they had the auras of three-vein Heaven Saints, and they crazily attacked Long Chen.
With Huo Linger and Lei Linger’s help, Long Chen crushed those powerful lifeforms one by one. It was a stunning sight.
Lu Fan and the others could no longer watch in peace. They were now surrounded by countless terrifying lightning beasts, humans, demonic beasts, giant devils, as well as bizarre ancient lifeforms that they had never seen before.
All of these creatures had powerful auras and were bloodthirsty, with power levels around seven or eight-star Heavenly Doyen. Some were even stronger, close to the level of a Heavenly Chosen.
The situation quickly descended into chaos. These Heavenly Chosens were not used to fighting as a team and were paralyzed by fear in the face of this tribulation. Amid the chaos, many didn’t die at the hands of the lightning beasts but were instead struck down by their own allies’ careless attacks.
Seeing this, Lu Fan was seething with anger. The battlefield’s most chaotic group was the Pill Valley disciples under his command. Most of these disciples were alchemists, possessing immense power but lacking combat experience. Their hearts almost collapsed in this unexpected situation.
Lu Fan personally witnessed two Pill Valley disciples heavily injured by the flames of their comrades and then torn apart by the lightning beasts. Despite his anger, he couldn’t afford to deal with the chaos. He had to focus on absorbing the heavenly tribulation’s energy to manage the Heavenly Flame energy around him.
Although the flames around Lu Fan couldn’t compare to Long Chen’s, they were already more than he could handle. In fact, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to absorb them all, as he couldn’t predict whether there would be enough tribulation energy.
BOOM!
Lu Fan blasted a strange lightning beast apart, causing its lightning runes to scatter. However, to his dismay, he found that eighty percent of the runes were filled with destructive power, leaving only twenty percent that he could safely absorb.
In the past, his tribulations had only produced lightning that could be directly absorbed, so this was a pain in the butt for him. Despite this setback, he remained patient because the tribulation had just begun.
As Lu Fan absorbed the tribulation’s energy and the Heavenly Flame energy, he glared at Long Chen, seething with hatred. Long Chen had ruined his plans and turned what should have been a monumental opportunity into a struggle for him.
There was no way that Long Chen could absorb this much Heavenly Flame energy. Ultimately, this energy would be released back into the Heavenly Daos, returning to heaven and earth. Filled with hatred, Lu Fan wanted nothing more than to tear Long Chen apart with his teeth.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the tribulation clouds stopped spinning. The thirty-six lightning pillars surrounding Long Chen flashed, and countless lightning runes flew on top of the lightning pillars, forming multiple layers of nets around Long Chen and the Heavenly Flame energy.
The runes condensed, eventually forming an enormous cauldron. When this cauldron appeared, Lu Fan and the others’ pupils shrank in shock.
This cauldron had trapped Long Chen within it, isolating him from the outside world. He was confined within a separate space.
“As expected, it’s here!” Long Chen didn’t panic at being trapped. Instead, he slowly smiled.
