Chapter 5293 New Discovery
After all, this was a Human Emperor tribulation, and not just any ordinary one—it involved thousands of cultivators at once. In Chu He’s mind, Long Chen, who was only a little Sage King, was about to be obliterated by the laws of heaven and earth for interfering in this tribulation.
However, with the raging lightning already falling, Chu He was powerless to stop Long Chen.
“Everyone, calm down and focus on your tribulations. With me here, you will be safe,” Long Chen assured, his voice steady.
Just then, the lightning rain turned into a torrent of lightning swords, piercing through the air and heading straight for the gathered cultivators.
Everyone hastily defended. However, the lightning sliced through their defenses, cutting into their skin and staining their robes red.
Are their bodies really this fragile? Long Chen thought in surprise.
Long Chen suddenly realized that their cultivation techniques were focused on immortal arts and divine power, neglecting their constitutions. In other words, while their magical abilities were formidable, they were not robust enough to withstand the tribulation’s assault.
“Alright, come out. It’s your time to show off,” Long Chen said, his voice filled with anticipation.
BOOM!
An enormous lightning dragon flew into the sky, shattering the torrent of lightning. Lightning bolts crashed against it, exploding on impact, yet it was unscathed.
This dragon was Lei Linger. She had long since grown impatient, but Long Chen had initially held her back, giving the cultivators a chance to absorb the thunderforce.
Unexpectedly, their physical bodies were so weak that they couldn’t even endure the first wave of the tribulation. The power of this Human Emperor tribulation far exceeded what they were used to.
Lei Linger swam through the sky, effortlessly breaking apart the torrents of lightning. As the lightning struck her, it shattered into particles that rained down like harmless droplets. These lightning particles were now easy to absorb and no longer a threat to the cultivators below.
Lei Linger was like a starving person devouring this tribulation. Although it was a Human Emperor heavenly tribulation, it didn’t have the destructive energy of Long Chen’s tribulations. Thus, the lightning was just a big piece of meat to her. As she absorbed the tribulation’s thunderforce, she passed down the residual energy to the cultivators below.
Chu He was stunned to see this scene. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that someone could withstand a tribulation so effortlessly—let alone devour it like a meal.
As the tribulation intensified, Lei Linger’s aura grew stronger in tandem. Ever since her last battle, her strength had risen tremendously. Now, devouring Human Emperor tribulation lightning was effortless for her.
As she devoured the tribulation’s energy, her aura rapidly grew. Seeing Huo Linger rapidly recovering and continuing to grow, she had been anxious, but now, it was her turn to shine.
While absorbing the tribulation’s energy, she didn’t forget to share some of the energy with the cultivators below, offering them the residual energy like passing down soup. Her aura grew more potent with each passing moment, and her massive body expanded until it seemed to fill the sky.
Her immense form allowed her to gather every last drop of the tribulation’s energy. Seeing that Lei Linger was in complete control, Long Chen was finally able to relax.
With a calm expression, he flew into the air and sat on Lei Linger’s dragon head. He began to absorb the thunderforce himself, using it to fuel his own cultivation. As the thunderforce flowed into his body, three-leaf runes appeared within his dantian.
These three-leaf runes were his Eternal runes, which had first appeared when he advanced to the Eternal realm. They had granted him vast Eternal energy at the time, but after that, they had seemingly disappeared. Now, amidst this heavenly tribulation, they resurfaced.
As the three-flower runes circulated, they slowly rose from the bottom of his Dantian. His Root Qi, which resided at the top of his Dantian, slowly gravitated toward the runes.
“What is going on? Do my Eternal runes only appear during heavenly tribulation?” Long Chen wondered, unable to comprehend this.
By carefully observing the changes within his body, he noticed that as the thunderforce entered him, the Eternal runes and his Root Qi moved closer together.
“Could it be...?” Long Chen muttered, pleasantly surprised.
The closer his Eternal runes and Root Qi came together, the faster his aura grew. This rate of cultivation was far beyond anything he had experienced before—almost like a cheat method.
Realizing the potential, Long Chen immediately summoned his eight-colored divine ring. It spun rapidly, forming a massive vortex that absorbed the tribulation’s energy.
As he continued to inhale the tribulation’s energy, his Root Qi and Eternal runes moved closer, resonating with each other. Eternal qi slowly merged into his Root Qi, while the Root Qi extended toward the Eternal runes, like roots seeking nourishment.
The two forces drew nearer and nearer, and Long Chen devoured the tribulation’s energy with reckless abandon.
But just as they were about to converge completely, the tribulation abruptly ended. The two forces instantly separated. Startled, Long Chen looked up to find the tribulation clouds had vanished.
“So fast?” Long Chen muttered in frustration, feeling a pang of disappointment.
If the tribulation had lasted for a bit longer, perhaps Long Chen’s Eternal runes would have finally merged with his Root Qi. Sadly, as the influx of tribulation energy ended, his Eternal runes slowly faded until they were gone.
“Were my efforts wasted?” Long Chen wondered, feeling a pang of frustration. Fortunately, after sensing his aura, he found that it was truly stronger than before. His Root Qi had also undergone a subtle transformation—its aura was denser, and the flame within it burned more vigorously.
Satisfied, Long Chen allowed himself to relax. He then turned his attention to the newly ascended Human Emperors. Their faces were filled with disbelief, as if they couldn’t grasp that they had truly become Human Emperors so effortlessly. They felt like they were dreaming.
Chu He, on the other hand, was equally stunned but overjoyed. Tianyu City had just gained over eighteen thousand new Human Emperors, causing their collective strength to skyrocket.
“Everyone should go into seclusion here. I have medicinal pills that will help you fully stabilize your realms within three days. But you must work hard for it,” Long Chen instructed, distributing the pills. This time, no one hesitated to take them.
With that, Long Chen and Chu He left. They returned to the tower, but just as they settled in, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout Tianyu City.
