Chapter 48: Defying Infinite Source Cannon (2): Heavenly Tribulation

Long Tian looked at the heavenly tribulation gathering its power, giving him a threatening feeling.

Lightning crackled. Thunder roared.

And before he knew it, it struck.

A bolt of heavenly lightning aimed to destroy him.

Long Tian watched this happen.

He took a stance, his fists thrust forward.

A dragon chant came from him as he began to execute the Red Dragon Fist.

When the Red Dragon Emperor Soul revealed itself, he knew it was the one transmitting the battle skills to him.

His eyes blazed with golden light, and his hands began to glow with fiery energy.

The power of the battle skill had increased.

Using all his strength, he punched at the incoming heavenly lightning.

A dragon shadow burst from his fist, more condensed than before.

You could see the shimmering scales flickering on its body.

Its eyes were fiery, and its claws had flames.

It charged into the sky, clashing with the heavenly lightning.

But the heavenly lightning was like a merciless judge, destroying it in a single clash.

This impacted Long Tian, causing him to raise his guard.

He thought that even if the Red Dragon Fist couldn’t destroy the heavenly lightning, it should at least reduce its power by two-thirds.

"If one isn’t enough, then what about more?" Long Tian muttered.

He unleashed a relentless attack with the Red Dragon Fist.

Draconic chants sounded consecutively.

But when the heavenly lightning struck him, he was only able to reduce it by half.

The remaining half hit him, plunging him deep into the ground and wreaking havoc on his body.

It began destroying his organs, but thanks to the Nine Dragon Body’s fortification, his organs could temporarily endure it.

It continued its destruction until reaching Long Tian’s dantian.

It aimed to destroy his dantian.

As it entered his dantian, it caused chaos with the intent to destroy everything.

The Infinite Source Genesis Diagram slowly began to rotate, absorbing the heavenly lightning.

The faster it spun, the more lightning it absorbed.

This sudden change delighted Long Tian. He was scared for a moment when he saw the heavenly lightning enter his dantian.

He looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds already disappearing.

This eased his mind.

Meanwhile, the Infinite Source Genesis Diagram spun fiercely with intense motion.

The absorbed heavenly lightning began striking everywhere, causing Long Tian pain.

He sensed this and appeared nearby.

He was confused about what was happening to the Infinite Source Genesis Diagram.

CRACK!

This sound shook Long Tian as he saw the diagram cracking.

Fear overtook him at this unexpected event. He tried calling the Red Dragon Soul, but there was no reply.

What was he going to do?

He began to reflect on how he started cultivating; maybe he had done something wrong.

This made his heart tense.

If the Infinite Source Genesis Diagram gets destroyed, it could severely damage his dantian, possibly preventing him from cultivating.

After much thought, he calmed himself. He didn’t believe he had taken the wrong path, so what was happening might actually be beneficial.

And if it wasn’t, he would figure out what to do afterward.

With the first crack, it was as if a chain had been snapped.

The crack spread like cobwebs.

And with his own eyes, he watched it shatter into pieces.

Long Tian expected damage to his dantian, but he felt it was transforming.

This delighted him. He was relieved it didn’t cause harm.

But perhaps he was too early to celebrate.

The broken parts of the Infinite Source Genesis Diagram fused with his dantian.

He could feel the transformation happening within his dantian.

It is known that one’s dantian is the weakest part of the body.

But now, it seemed to be the strongest part of his body.

The source ring of his cultivation technique began to change as it formed around the source image.

Instantly, Long Tian’s excitement faded.

His soul and instinct screamed for danger.

He got hold of himself and instinctively glanced up.

The dark clouds that were disappearing have regathered, and they were more concentrated than before.

He couldn’t even see how long they had spread, but all of it wasn’t his concern.

It was the intent behind it. He could feel the anger of heaven from it, as if something had provoked it and it wanted to unleash its wrath.

And it was locked unto him.

Nobody needed to tell him that it was because of the process the Infinite Source Cannon was going through that caused this.

Whirlpool was created because of this, uprooting weaker trees from the ground.

As this happened, numerous origin martial artists ensured it. They looked towards the source of the tribulation.

The weaker ones who tried to probe received backlash.

The stronger ones were able to withstand the backlash, but this shocked them. They became curious about what was happening.

As for ordinary people, they took it as a natural disaster, maintaining their distance.

Long Tian looked at the incoming tribulation with dread.

The tribulation didn’t waste time as it struck.

It struck with sudden speed, making Long Tian’s reaction slow.

He was sent deep into the earth because of the lightning. It devastated the surroundings, destroying numerous plants.

As for the animals, at Long Tian’s first tribulation, they had run for their lives.

Long Tian spat out mouthfuls of blood; his organs were destroyed under the raging lightning.

The lightning he faced was like a baby compared to it, and it came with the will of annihilation.

Long Tian was helpless before it as he watched it wreak havoc in his body; it tried to break through into his dantian, but runes appeared, covering his dantian.

The runes began to absorb the heavenly lightning.

As it absorbed the heavenly lightning, it began to wreak havoc, which caused Long Tian another intense bout of pain.

He inwardly cursed, wondering why the infinite source cannon decided to absorb it and cause him such pain that made him wish he were dead.

He gritted his teeth, but his expression turned ugly.

Another round of lightning tribulation was prepared.

Its speed was twice that of the first one. Long Tian could only watch as it struck him.

His skin was roasted as his eyes rolled in pain, his skin began to crack like stone, and blood flowed out.

If not for the fact that he had refined the origin chaos energy, he would have been annihilated by the heavenly lightning.

But he noticed something: his body was getting stronger, and his healing speed was getting stronger.

It wasn’t because of the lightning but the remnant of the original chaos energy.

Even though it refined his body, his body was too weak to completely absorb its strength.

But when he grows stronger, it will continue refining his body.

Due to the annihilative force of the lightning, the remnants came out, refining and healing his broken organs and body.

He was delighted by this, but he couldn’t keep up with the rate at which the heavenly lightning was destroying his body.

Aaargh!

Long Tian let out a grunt of pain; the heavenly lightning had been absorbed into his dantian again.

It gave a heart-wrenching pain as it reached his soul.

If not for his strong soul, only heaven knows his end.

The dark cloud began to increase in range, the pressure increased, and it was focused on Long Tian wanting him to kneel.

Inside his dantian, in the sphere, the shadow fox let out a sharp cry.

Long Tian felt his body boiling; his eyes became a fox’s eyes.

His fox ears appeared, and its fox tails waved behind him.

His body began to change as he transformed into a fox.

At this moment, the shadow fox appeared behind him, looking at the heavens in anger.

The third lightning struck at this moment.

Long Tian and the shadow fox let out a synced fox cry.

His third tail stood straight like a pillar. The lightning struck him but it was all absorbed into his tail.

Long Tian was almost broken down, but his fox bloodline began to defend him, releasing his fire and ice elemental energy.

He began to tackle them as he absorbed the entire heavenly lightning.

Suddenly, the third tail crackled with lightning, emitting immense power.

He had awakened his third element; lightning and thunder.

Long Tian’s eyes were red with blood, the shadow fox let out a sharp cry.

His aura began to increase, the shadow fox began to fuse with his body and his size grew bigger with his strength.

With a similar stance to the fire dragon fist, he raised his claw.

He let out a wild fox cry, charging at the heavens as his claw slashed, and let out a shadow fox that destroyed the entire dark clouds.

With this, Long Tian’s red eyes returned to normal, his body felt weak as he slumped to the ground.

All of his actions were controlled by the shadow fox, he was just a bystander.

But the heavens were not done with him.

CRACKLE!
