Chapter 573: Survival After the Tribulation

Fortunately, the array held firm and ultimately withstood the terrifying impact of that power.

In the sky…

The dark clouds roared, seemingly full of unwillingness, yet helpless.

Its power began to weaken and gradually vanished between heaven and earth, as if it had never appeared at all.

Everyone in the entire Longwu City was filled with shock; no one had expected such a terrifying scene to occur.

Such terrifying Heavenly Tribulation lightning descended continuously, making the entire Longwu City feel like the apocalypse.

Xiao Fan stumbled to his feet, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"I won!"

Xiao Fan laughed; he had triumphed over the heavens!

At this moment, he was covered in wounds. His entire body had been struck by the Heavenly Tribulation lightning, and it was still covered in electric currents, stimulating every one of his muscles.

If it were any other cultivator in the Yuanhun Realm, even one at the Great Perfection of the Yuanhun Realm, they would have died!

At the same time, the two little fellows inside Xiao Fan—Wanxiang and the Enlightenment Seed—were extremely weak…

The seven-colored light outside of Wanxiang had dimmed.

The green leaf atop the Enlightenment Seed had withered slightly.

"I will find more ancient artifacts for you later to help you recover!" Xiao Fan felt guilty and conveyed his Divine Thought.

The two little fellows hopped around, very satisfied with Xiao Fan's answer.

If it weren't for the two little fellows giving him spiritual power at the end, Xiao Fan might have truly died in this Heavenly Tribulation.

His spiritual power was less than one-tenth of what it should be; that last strike had exhausted almost all of his strength.

If one more bolt of Heavenly Tribulation lightning came, he would surely die!

"Put your clothes on."

At this moment, Zhangsun Ning's voice transmission appeared in Xiao Fan's ear.

"Huh??" Xiao Fan was stunned, only then realizing that he was stark naked. He hadn't even covered his lower body, exposing his sturdy manhood…

Fortunately, Xiao Fan's Storage Pouch was still at his waist. He hurriedly tapped it, took out a white robe from within, and put it on.

It was fortunate that there was no one around anymore; apart from the City Lords who might have seen, there was only Zhangsun Ning.

The dark clouds dissipated, and light returned.

The bright sun bestowed light upon the earth once more.

Xiao Fan felt the joy of surviving the disaster, and at the same time, he was excited about having become stronger.

Xiao Fan was not the only one feeling the joy of surviving the disaster.

Those maintaining the array, such as City Lord Ming Long, City Lord Du Ling, and the others, felt the same…

Their faces were ashen, blood foamed at the corners of their mouths, and they were all gasping for breath. The power of that final strike was too terrifying!

Maintaining the array required them to absorb all the terrifying power radiating outwards and block it with their own bodies!

As a result… they were nearly shaken to death!

City Lord Ming Long was slightly better off, but City Lord Du Ling and the other City Lords with weaker cultivation levels really couldn't bear it and were nearly shaken to death!

At the same time, they were astonished. No one had expected Xiao Fan to be this strong!

To be able to survive under such a Heavenly Tribulation.

Inside the array, everything had been destroyed, and even the City Lord's Mansion had become a ruin.

The Arena that Xiao Fan had been standing on was also gone, and the traces left by the terrifying streaks of Heavenly Tribulation lightning were shocking to behold.

City Lord Ming Long and the others withdrew the array, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the people of the entire Longwu City were saved.

The spectators who had been watching earlier returned one after another.

Yuan Jingtian, Chu Feng, and others appeared, along with the young Prodigies who had been eliminated earlier.

When they saw Xiao Fan standing in the ruins dressed in white, they were all dazed.

He didn't even die under this kind of Heavenly Tribulation?

Being able to trigger a Heavenly Tribulation at a Realm below the Pi Hai Realm proved that the person was a peerless Prodigy!

Especially those who had fought against Xiao Fan earlier; they wore expressions of shock and lingering fear.

If Xiao Fan had used his full strength earlier, they would have certainly died!

One had to know that this competition allowed for deaths.

City Lord Ming Long and the others returned to their previous positions. Although the Arena and the City Lord's Mansion had been destroyed, the competition had to continue.

Although he personally felt that the subsequent matches were unnecessary.

Such a peerless Prodigy? Destined to crush everyone of an entire generation.

If Xiao Fan did not die and grew up smoothly, his future prospects would be unimaginable.

"This is too terrifying. Promoting to the Yuanhun Realm actually triggered such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation!"

"I thought I might die under this lightning earlier, but in the end…"

"I don't think there's any need to continue this competition. This Xiao Fan is definitely the first place; who can defeat him?"

"…"

The people who returned were discussing it amongst themselves, their gazes filled with awe as they looked at Xiao Fan!

This was a person destined to become famous throughout Yihuang Province, with a brilliant life ahead!

Yuan Jingtian returned to the opposite side of Xiao Fan, his expression complex.

He had already withdrawn from the state of burning his Essence Blood, and his face was pale. For him, it had only consumed a large amount of Essence Blood and had not damaged his Foundation. It was the best of a bad situation; he would be able to recover after a few months of rest and recuperation.

Xiao Fan also looked at Yuan Jingtian. He exhaled slightly and felt his current spiritual power.

He had just consumed quite a few Medicinal Pills, and his condition was much better now.

"Shall the competition continue!" City Lord Ming Long spoke, looking at Xiao Fan and Yuan Jingtian.

He was mainly looking at Yuan Jingtian; as long as the latter wasn't a fool, he certainly wouldn't continue fighting.

To keep fighting would be asking for trouble, right?

Yuan Jingtian was from his Longwu City, so he didn't want to see Yuan Jingtian embarrass himself too much.

"I will continue."
