Chapter 174 The most brutal battle

Chapter 174: The Most Tragic Battle

It wasn’t like ice and snow; it was more like enormous stars, each weighing billions of tons, continuously crashing down and then exploding, possessing the power to shatter the heavens and crack the earth.

At this point, he encountered a great crisis; the Lightning Tribulation was too abnormal, almost leaving no path for survival, growing stronger with each wave, annihilating all living beings.

Moreover, only by experiencing it firsthand could one know its terror; it was far more severe than what was recorded in the bone books, with several unique occurrences.

“Boom!”

Finally, heavy snow fluttered, freezing the entire space, and Lin Fan was no exception; he was trapped in ice, the cold chilling him to his bones, making his body and Soul tremble.

At this moment, not only did his thoughts slow down, but his magical power was also suppressed, his limbs numb and weak, losing sensation, a situation of extreme peril.

At the same time, this ice and snow Lightning Tribulation was very enchanting; it wasn't just due to the temperature, but the Law within it was the most fatal, constantly impacting him, almost shattering him.

If he hadn't consumed huangquan fruit, greatly increasing his Primordial Spirit power, he probably wouldn't even be able to think, his head heavy and muddled, on the verge of falling asleep.

However, he clearly knew that if he didn't escape his current predicament soon, his Soul being frozen was only a matter of time.

By then, he would surely die in the eerie ice and snow Lightning Tribulation.

“Chii!”

The next moment, Lin Fan exerted all his strength, activating his Divine Radiance and circulating his runes, a monstrous surge of Qi and blood erupted, his body radiating brilliant golden light, like a blazing sun, incomparably bright.

The small figure in his glabella was likewise, clad in armor and condensed into a sword blade, which was the result of the evolution of bone script and also the manifestation of his Mental Energy reaching its peak.

With a crack, the ice layer finally split, exploding into countless light rain, and he struggled out of it, narrowly Undergoing Tribulation.

Counting them, he had already Undergoing Tribulation eight layers of Lightning Tribulation; theoretically, only the ninth layer remained before he would ascend to the deepest part of the Thunder Sea and directly claim the precious liquid.

“The strongest Heavenly Tribulation, it truly thinks highly of me!” Lin Fan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Of course, the stronger the Lightning Tribulation he Undergoing Tribulation, the higher his potential, allowing him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest individuals.

It sounded exciting, but he had been severely injured several times just now, his limbs broken, flesh and blood flying, bones shattered, with no part of him intact.

But, he finally made it to the last hurdle!

“Eh, a mountainous area?” Lin Fan stepped into the Nine Heavens, and the scene before him changed, surprising him greatly.

All around, mountains and rocks undulated, and trees reached to the sky; undoubtedly, these were all transformed from lightning, not a real scene, but precisely because of this, the place seemed terrifying.

Suddenly, the mountainous area shook, and the sound of horse hooves thundered as a figure galloped from afar—it was a Heavenly Horse with fur as white as snow.

And on the horse's back sat a living being, holding a blood-colored Heavenly Halberd, its cold gleam tearing through the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring, radiating Killing Intent.

“Kill!”

Lin Fan let out a long roar; there was nothing more to say, he actively met the final battle, this was merely a Puppet, an imprinted segment, not a true living being.

But it was extremely dangerous, beyond imagination, possessing various means, with peak Battle Intent, stronger than an ordinary Initial, and he instantly fell into a desperate fight.

“Clang!”

An Undying Divine Phoenix flew, its feathers vibrant, crimson light dyeing half the sky, battling fiercely, erupting with supreme Profound Truth, striking at that living being.

This was a bitter battle; Lin Fan immediately used his strongest Divine Ability, his magical power surging like a scorching river, rolling and gushing.

“Clang!”

A blade of grass appeared, its nine leaves turning, Sword Qi surging, forming a sword domain, striking the Heavenly Halberd, sparks flying.

In the fierce struggle, Lin Fan's shoulder was pierced, blood splattering, almost cleaved in half, but fortunately, he dodged in time, avoiding severe injury.

As for the man and horse, they were not faring well either; they suffered heavy blows, with a deep sword mark on their chest, their Heavenly Halberd broken, both coughing blood as they flew backward.

“It’s time to end this!” Lin Fan roared, a purple Qilin leaping from beneath his feet, its light shining, engulfing the man and horse in front.

“Boom!”

The man and horse were trampled and exploded, lightning scattering, returning to their most fundamental arcs.

However, before he could rejoice, just as he thought he had passed, with a flash of lightning, the man and horse resurrected on the spot, attacking again.

Moreover, this time, the opponent's Battle Intent greatly increased, their strength soaring.

“Damn it, do they have to be so abnormal and shameless? Unlimited resurrection, how can I fight this?!” Lin Fan was shocked, dumbfounded, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

In this battle, he fought like a madman, like a berserker; he himself was half-crippled, broken bones visible, incredibly miserable, something that had never happened before.

Since his birth, this was his first arduous battle, encountering such a terrifying opponent, pushed to a dead end, almost unable to hold on.

True Dragon Precious Technique, True Phoenix Precious Technique, Grass Character Sword Secret, innate Divine Ability, etc., were all unleashed to their limits.

However, he still persisted, his heart clear, fearless, his Battle Intent undiminished, giving his all, unleashing his potential.

“Boom!”

Finally, as Lin Fan's essence, Qi, and spirit were nearly exhausted, the man and horse disappeared into the lightning, vanishing, no longer appearing or attacking.

This battle was too difficult; the opponent was simply an unkillable great terror, as long as the lightning remained, there would be an endless supply of power, growing stronger each time.

Especially, it seemed to be able to learn and correct its mistakes in battle, which made one's scalp tingle, truly incredible.

“I… Undergoing Tribulation successfully, I’m both beautiful and crippled!”

Lin Fan lay on the ground, silently contemplating; his own strength had greatly increased, breaking through the Array Formation Realm's extreme, almost on the verge of becoming a Venerable.

It could be said that if he wished, he could become a Venerable now, and without relying on external objects, he had accumulated enough depth.

However, he held back, wanting to go even further, to engrave a corner of the Reincarnation Great Array into his body before making a Breakthrough, at which point his Battle Intent would surge again.

“Where is Junior Brother? Did he make it through?” In the distance, Yue Chan looked up at the sky; the thunder had stopped, and she nervously uttered a question.

Not only her, but the other Disciple and Elder of the Butian Sect were also observing, their eyes glinting, as this was an Initial of their sect, and they still hoped he would create a miracle.

On the other side, several high-ranking members of the Butian Sect were also startled; apart from Qing Yao, they were all ancient monsters who had lived for a long time, with extraordinary strength.

“Heavens, look! He has passed through the Nine Heavens and ascended to the highest point.” Someone exclaimed, filled with disbelief, dumbfounded.

“Is he going to break a record? An Array Formation Realm cultivator Undergoing the strongest Heavenly Tribulation…”

“So strong, he’s simply a peerless Prodigy, too astonishing! Fortunately, he is a Disciple of our Butian Sect!”

Everyone discussed animatedly, with excitement, joy, and also sighs, filled with bitterness.

This was a great mountain in the hearts of the younger generation; compared to him, the other Disciple in the sect were far inferior, like the bright moon and fireflies.

“Junior… Brother!” Yue Chan’s beautiful eyes were misty, and her anxious heart finally settled, as she let out a sigh of relief.

On the other side, deep within the clouds, Lin Fan finally arrived at the Tenth Heaven and saw a pool, enveloped in lightning, filled to the brim with precious liquid.

“That is… Thunder Tribulation Liquid!”
