Chapter 289 - 289 Heavenly Tribulation

289 Heavenly Tribulation

A long time passed.

He Chuan, who was cultivating on the Sacred Soul Island, suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the clouds in the sky changed, and a purple cloud of tribulation lightning floated above their heads.

To cultivate against the heavens, one was destined to be punished by the heavens and be baptized by the heavenly tribulation!

He Chuan was already at the sixth rank earth realm. If he wanted to advance again, he had to experience the baptism of lightning.

Seeing that the purple clouds above his head were getting denser and about to form a bolt of powerful lightning, He Chuan immediately mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to form a protective barrier.

Then, according to the system’s reward, he quickly arranged a simple array.

The lightning tribulation this time was too sudden, and there was only enough time for him to set up a small array. If he had enough time, he could set up the array in advance.

However, this time, it also gave him a reminder. The next time he entered seclusion to break through, he should set up a formation to resist the lightning tribulation in advance.

This was because he was no longer simply cultivating his own body. He was going against the heavens and starting the cultivation mode.

If they weren’t prepared, it would be easy for accidents to happen.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Silver lightning as thick as a tree streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark sky.

When the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck the formation, the outermost layer of protection couldn’t even last for two breaths and exploded.

He Chuan was as steady as Mount Tai, and the lightning tribulation did not shake his state of mind.

It was because he had enough confidence in himself.

The materials used to set up the formation were not damaged. He injected spiritual energy into it again, and an even more dazzling light appeared. The protective shield once again enveloped He Chuan.

Crack!

The power of the second lightning tribulation was also stronger.

It seemed to carry a force of ten thousand pounds as it struck the golden light again.

Cracks began to spread across the protective barrier like a spider web, and the spiritual energy within the materials used to set up the formation gradually weakened.

Then, the third lightning tribulation fell and hit the protective shield again. The protective shield shattered instantly and was blocked by He Chuan’s protective barrier.

The materials used to set up the formation turned into a fine powder and dissipated into the air.

Then, the fourth, the fifth…

After he resisted the eighth lightning tribulation, He Chuan’s protective barrier energy disappeared, and the most powerful ninth lightning tribulation was already in front of him.

The silver lightning was like a giant python, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it wrapped around He Chuan.

As the final lightning tribulation descended, a destructive presence filled the world. Within a hundred kilometers of the clouds, everyone could not move at all.

It was more than ten times stronger than the first lightning tribulation.

The terrifying power scared the nearby animals and made them faint.

Countless birds, beasts, and fish were scared to death by the massive aura of the lightning tribulation. It was clear how terrifying this lightning tribulation was!

The lightning tribulation with alternating black and white light dissipated. He Chuan sat in his original place, unscathed.

The ground caved in, and the trees burned within a radius of dozens of miles. It was as if the end of the world had come.

He Chuan slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, it was as if countless bolts of lightning had flown out.

With a simple wave of his hand, the flames on the burning trees were instantly extinguished.

He waved his hand again, and the monstrous waves rolled and then rushed down like a storm, completely extinguishing the dark fire.

This was what a cultivator was like. They could turn the clouds and rain with a wave of their hands and control the power of heaven and earth.

After experiencing the lightning tribulation again, He Chuan’s body became stronger. Ordinary swords and knives couldn’t even leave a mark on him, let alone hurt him.

“Counting the time, Cai Lian and Lia’s due date is also approaching. I’ll go to the ancient alternate dimension after a while.”

He promised to accompany the two women in labor.

A man must do what he said.

He mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, stepped on the flying sword, and disappeared into a stream of light.

Half an hour later.

The powerhouses of the godfiend clan on the Sacred Soul Island were only relieved when they could no longer sense He Chuan’s aura.

After He Chuan had killed a few members of the divine godfiend race with overwhelming power, the remaining people finally knew fear.

For hundreds of years, the godfiend race had believed that they were powerful and that ordinary martial artists were no match for them.

However, he had never thought that He Chuan was an anomaly. He was ridiculously strong.

They could only give up the Sacred Soul Island.

Now that this fiend had finally left, the remaining powerhouses of the godfiend race could finally relax.

“Damn it, who said that humans outside of the freezing cold land are weak?”

“That’s right. I don’t think that person is weaker than a World God. Even the acting Island Master might not be his match.”

“Tsk, I was thinking of going to the Central Plains to take a look at the local conditions and customs, but now I won’t go even if you beat me to death. I have to hurry up and cultivate.”

The remaining godfiend experts came to a consensus not to go to the outside world for no reason. It was too dangerous!

It would be better for them to stay on the Sacred Soul Island and cultivate.

He Chuan didn’t know that his simple action would make the godfiend race not dare to spy on the Central Plains.



He Chuan returned to the palace in less than half a day.

“Husband!” when Empress Changning saw he had returned, she got up from her bed in pleasant surprise. She even thought that she was still asleep. She pinches her thigh unconfidently. The pain returned to her brain, proving that she was not dreaming.

“Cai Lian and Lia are about to give birth, so I specially came back to take a look.” He Chuan walked up and held Empress Changning’s soft hands as he spoke softly.

“Cai Lian and Lia are indeed about to give birth, but Husband has changed a lot. You seem to be even younger!” Empress Changning leaned into He Chuan’s arms and carefully examined He Chuan’s handsome face.

“It should be the effect of the lightning tribulation. I just wanted to tell you that you have to set up a defensive array when you breakthrough in the future. Otherwise, when the lightning tribulation strikes, it’s very likely that you’ll die!” He Chuan caressed Empress Changning’s hair. Although he didn’t feel much for her, he didn’t want anything to happen to these three women.

After all, they had already done it.

“Lightning tribulation? Is it the legendary heavenly tribulation that the cultivator has to go through? Is it very terrifying?” Empress Changning asked with some worry.

She could imagine what kind of difficulties He Chuan had gone through.

That could be said to be the legendary heavenly tribulation, and its power was probably not inferior to the attack of an expert at the low extreme realm.

Most importantly, the man she loved seemed to be fine. How powerful was he exactly? Every time, she felt that she had understood He Chuan enough, but every time, she would be refreshed.

“That’s right. It’s the heavenly tribulation that cultivators have to go through. The heavenly tribulation that falls following the number of multiples of nine is completely different from the previous heavenly tribulations. It’s also more powerful.” He Chuan did not hide anything from his woman.

Moreover, this wasn’t a big secret. As for the safety issue, he didn’t think it was a big deal. Since ancient times, there had been no place that wasn’t dangerous when undergoing lightning tribulations.

They would have to experience it in the future, so there was no harm in knowing in advance.

“Alright, Cai Lian and Lia are still waiting for you. Hurry up and go see them!” Empress Changning was not a jealous person. She knew that the other two women also needed He Chuan’s comfort.

And they were still in the stage of labor!

He Chuan didn’t try to be pretentious. He kissed Empress Changning’s forehead and then disappeared.
