Chapter 569: Defying the Heavens

No one could have imagined that Xiao Fan actually intended to make a Breakthrough during the match.

Opposite him, Yuan Jingtian was dumbfounded; the Aura Xiao Fan was currently emitting was too terrifying!

Dragon Tiger City was massive, countless times larger than Linze City, and home to over a hundred million people; it was now covered by dark clouds that blotted out the sun.

These black clouds came strangely, having condensed all of a sudden!

The sky, which had been clear for thousands of miles, had now become pitch black, and these black clouds were filled with terrifying lightning!

Even Zhangsun Ning, who was in the air, frowned.

"To think it would be this strong!" Zhangsun Ning marveled to herself, clearly not expecting that a mere advancement from the Xuandan Realm to the Yuanhun Realm would attract such a powerful Lightning Tribulation!

Below, everyone looked at the sky in shock, then turned their gaze toward Xiao Fan on the Arena!

"This… could it be the legendary Heavenly Lightning!"

"No way, isn't it said that a Heavenly Tribulation only appears when experts above the Pi Hai Realm make a Breakthrough?!"

"This… to attract a Heavenly Tribulation while only in the Xuandan Realm, just what kind of person is he?!"

"Too terrifying, this Aura…"

"…"

All around, whether they were the spectating crowd or the sixty-plus city lords, their expressions changed drastically, clearly not expecting Xiao Fan to attract such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

Even the City Lord of Longwu City, City Lord Ming Long, had a stiff expression; such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation!

It was even stronger than when he had advanced from the Yuanhun Realm to the Pi Hai Realm!

At just over twenty years old, he could attract such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, and the key point was that Xiao Fan's cultivation was only at the Xuandan Realm!

Didn't that mean he was a true Prodigy?

An existence that the heavens would not tolerate!

Yuan Jingtian was closest to Xiao Fan, and suppressed by the Aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, he already found it difficult to breathe.

There were only two possible outcomes for Xiao Fan attracting the Heavenly Tribulation in this place.

He would die under the Heavenly Tribulation!

Or he would succeed in undergoing the tribulation and advance to the Yuanhun Realm.

If it were the former, it would be fine, as Yuan Jingtian would surely be the number one in this Sixty-Four City Competition.

But if it were the latter, then it would be terrifying.

When Xiao Fan was at the Xuandan Realm Great Perfection, the two of them were evenly matched!

If Xiao Fan advanced to the Yuanhun Realm, even if it was only the first layer of the Yuanhun Realm, he would no longer be a match for Xiao Fan!

"Die!" Yuan Jingtian was still in the state of burning his Essence Blood, his own Aura terrifying; he immediately channeled his cultivation and slashed a fearsome Sword Qi toward Xiao Fan!

At this moment, under the Heavenly Tribulation, Xiao Fan's attention was focused on condensing his own power, preparing to make a Breakthrough in one go.

He hadn't expected Yuan Jingtian to suddenly attack.

"Damn it!" Xiao Fan's eyes turned cold, and he intended to divide his soul to deal with him.

However…

The fearsome Sword Qi released by Yuan Jingtian suddenly dissipated and vanished when it reached a hundred feet in front of Xiao Fan…

It dissipated into the Void Realm.

Xiao Fan was stunned; being so close, he could feel that an invisible light screen had blocked the opponent's attack.

"Focus on undergoing your tribulation."

Zhangsun Ning's voice reached Xiao Fan's ears.

Xiao Fan exhaled; now he could concentrate on undergoing the tribulation.

Looking at the Heavenly Lightning in the sky, it seemed ready to fall at any moment; since he wanted to advance, he had to reach the Yuanhun Realm at extreme speed.

He had to use a Yuanhun Realm body to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, otherwise, he would surely die!

"What's going on!" Yuan Jingtian was stunned; how could the Sword Qi he just struck out suddenly dissipate?

Xiao Fan hadn't made a move, and he hadn't felt anyone else intervene!

Why was it like this?

Unwilling to give up, Yuan Jingtian continuously struck out at Xiao Fan!

However…

No matter how many fearsome strands of Sword Qi he released, these attacks would all dissipate before they could even touch the space a hundred feet in front of Xiao Fan.

They were all blocked by an invisible light screen.

Everyone around saw this scene, and one by one, they were so shocked they were speechless.

"What's happening?"

"Why are Yuan Jingtian's attacks useless!"

"Strange, could it be because of the Heavenly Tribulation… but is this really a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"…"

In the surroundings, the only person who could see through the dissipation of Yuan Jingtian's attacks was the City Lord of Longwu City, City Lord Ming Long.

He sensed that a mysterious powerhouse was hidden in the shadows, acting as a Protector for Xiao Fan!

This person was very strong; if they hadn't acted, he wouldn't have even noticed their presence earlier.

The black clouds in the sky had already changed the color of the world, making it pitch black as if doomsday had arrived!

After Xiao Fan restored his Aura to its Peak, he sat cross-legged.

The five Spirit Pills previously condensed within his body began to rotate frantically; he wanted to use the power of the five Spirit Pills to instantly Breakthrough to the Yuanhun Realm.

The speed of a normal Breakthrough was too slow; Xiao Fan estimated it would take at least a few days.

But looking at the thunderclouds in the sky, it wouldn't be long before they were completely condensed.

From the thunderclouds of the Heavenly Tribulation, Xiao Fan sensed danger—a feeling of being rejected by the world.

It seemed his existence threatened this world, so the Heavenly Laws wanted to execute him!

"My existence threatens you? So you want to kill me?!"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself, his expression solemn, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"If the heavens want me dead, then I must die?"

"Then I might as well defy the heavens!"

Xiao Fan gave a loud roar, and the Five Elements Spirit Pills within his body rotated frantically!

And then…

With a "Boom," the five Spirit Pills shattered inside Xiao Fan's body!

Xiao Fan instantly felt a massive amount of majestic Five Elements spiritual power.

This spiritual power was terrifyingly strong, instantly filling his entire being.
