Chapter 2307 - Pressure

Chapter 2307 Pressure

Otherworldly Celestial! Sword Wielding Art!
Duan Ling Tian, naturally, did not dare to hold back when facing the 71st tribulation lightning from the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. He unleashed all his strength and techniques he had in his arsenal. Apart from using the offensive Divine Ability, he used the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Supreme Sword Dao Cultivation Method, the Sword Warding Heart.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, several clones of Duan Ling Tian appeared before everyone’s eyes. Apart from that, all his clones were also holding clones of the Thousand Inscription Saint Swords just like him.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
The brief sound of a sword cry rang in the air as the Thousand Inscription Swords in Duan Ling Tian and his clones’ hands slashed fiercely at the tribulation lightning.

Black Turtle’s Barrier!
Duan Ling Tian quickly cast the strongest defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect in the Upper Province that he had not used for quite some time. It did not take long before the transparent figure of a huge black turtle appeared out of thin air, shielding him.


Nobody was surprised when Duan Ling Tian cast the defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, since they had seen him use it before to deal with the tribulation lightning and it was completely shattered by the tribulation lightning!
This time was no exception.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of explosions rang in the air and the defensive Divine Ability, Black Turtle Barrier, was shattered by the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning. The Black Turtle Barrier only managed to deplete some of the tribulation lightning’s energy. The remaining energy was still as powerful as an angry Deva as it clashed with Duan Ling Tian’s swords.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder continued to sound in the sky from the Tribulation Clouds, accompanying the sound of the clash between the swords and the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning. A flurry of hurricanes swept out from the epicenter of the clash. Many small mushroom-shaped clouds formed and appeared at the center of the clash. Shockwaves formed and swept across the land.
Naturally, everyone present on the scene saw the shockwave that was heading their way and cast their own defensive techniques to protect themselves against the incoming shockwave.

What happened?


Why isn’t Duan Ling Tian transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior yet? Is he that confident?


I feel like he’s just seeking death!



Everyone present on the scene was focused on the purple figure in distance, discussing his choices.
Meanwhile, the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning easily nullified the attacks from the swords. It continued on its way to Duan Ling Tian.

Bring it on!
Duan Ling Tian cried out as all of his clones disappeared and he faced the remaining force from the 71st tribulation lightning.
In the next moment…

Golden Crow Wings!
Duan Ling Tian did not retreat. Instead, he cast his movement Divine Ability under everyone’s watchful eyes. He charged as fast an eagle toward the tribulation lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder continued to rumble in the sky as the remaining force from the tribulation lightning struck at Duan Ling Tian, its blinding light shrouding him from everyone’s sight.

Is he dead?


It seems like Duan Ling Tian has a death wish!


I wonder what’s going through his mind. Why is he refraining from transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior? Does he think he can save some kind of points by doing so?



Most people shook their heads as they discussed among themselves.
On the other hand, the high ranking officials of the Three Palace and Six Halls only solemnly looked on as the tribulation lightning’s blinding light shrouded Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, their Divine Consciousness could clearly sense a strong life force within the tribulation lightning.
Duan Ling Tian did not die!

Brother Ling Tian!


Father!

Ke’er and Duan Si Ling cried out in unison, both of them were filled with anxiety,
Madam, Young Miss, master is fine.
Both of them felt relieved when they heard Peng Lai’s words.
Similarly, Gan Ru Yan sighed in relief as well. She was also filled with anxiety, but she did not show it since, officially, there was no relationship between them. He was just her sister’s husband. However, it seemed like she was overthinking things. Even if she did not hide her emotions, no one would pay her any attention.
After a few moments, the glaring light from the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning disappeared under everyone’s eyes. This is…

Duan Ling Tian appeared in everyone’s view again as soon as the light disappeared. Although he looked rather unkempt with his torn robes, blood-stained body, and his breathing was shallow and quick, there was no doubt that he managed to deal with the 71st bolt of lightning.
Silence descended on the place before a spectator said,
He… Is he really human?



Most people had the same question in mind. Although the force of the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning had been depleted, no one was confident enough to say they would be able to survive it by just using their body to defend against it. However, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion managed to do it!

Is this really what a human is capable of?


Master… isn’t this too amazing?
Peng Lai gaped. His expression was one of shock and disbelief.
As for Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, they did not care about anything else. All they cared about was that Duan Ling Tian was unharmed.
My body is far stronger than the average cultivator even if I don’t transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior… Not even the Devil clans who are known for their body refining techniques or the Saint Beasts that are famed for their strong bodies are a match for me in regard to brute strength!’ Duan Ling Tian was very confident about this. Although his body was not indestructible and not as strong compared to when he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, it still seemed as though it was cast from copper and iron. He only suffered minor injuries when he dealt with the remaining force from the tribulation energy.
Yuwen Hao Chen…
Duan Ling Tian murmured to himself as he looked at Yuwen Hao Chen after he had successfully dealt with the 71st tribulation lightning. Coincidentally, Yuwen Hao Chen was still dealing with the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning from his Celestial Ascension Tribulation.
Is this the technique that’s inherited by the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation?

Duan Ling Tian was slightly startled because he saw Yuwen Hao Chen standing motionlessly in the distance with a blank expression on his face. He could not detect any Saint Origin from Yuwen Hao Chen, but Yuwen Hao Chen seemed to deal with the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning with relative ease.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 71st bolt of tribulation lightning struck at Yuwen Hao Chen fiercely, but when it was about ten meters away from Yuwen Hao Chen, it seemed to be deflected by an invisible force. In fact, it did not only deflect the 71st bolt of lightning, but it seemed to have destroyed it completely as well.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were filled with disbelief when he saw this. Both he and Yuwen Hao Chen had successfully passed the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning, but they were in completely different states after dealing with the tribulation lightning. His robes were torn, and his body was riddled with wounds, but Yuwen Hao Chen was completely untouched.


The invisible force was extremely powerful. Not only did it deflect the tribulation lightning, but it even managed to destroy it.
Duan Ling Tian had used his Divine Consciousness to probe Yuwen Hao Chen when Yuwen Hao Chen was dealing with the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning, therefore, he knew the details of how Yuwen Hao Chen had dealt with the tribulation lightning.
At this moment, Yuwen Hao Chen’s body emitted an energy that did not seem like it belonged to him. It was this external force that was helping him to pass the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian could tell when the force dealt with the 71st bolt of tribulation lightning, it was not even using a quarter of its full strength.
No wonder there are no Palace Masters in the Wandering Saint Palace who have failed the tribulations… It would be difficult for them to fail with such a technique…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, feeling pressured.
The 71st bolt of tribulation lightning was already so powerful, and there were ten more bolts of tribulation lightning left. Moreover, each one was going to be stronger than the last one!
Although my body is strong and powerful, I’m afraid I can only deal with one or two more bolts of tribulation lightning before I have to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior to deal with the remaining bolts of tribulation lightning! Even then, I’m not entirely certain I’ll be able to endure all of the 81 strikes of lightning even if I were to transform into a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.’ Duan Ling Tian was not entirely confident about facing the 81st bolt of tribulation lightning that was also the last and strongest bolt of tribulation lightning.

How powerful!


It’s terrifying! So this is the technique that has been passed down for generations to the Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation?!

Naturally, many people were in awe at the inherited technique Yuwen Hao Chen had used to pass the Heavenly Tribulation!
