Chapter 133: Thunder Tribulation 2

Just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, however, the sea of clouds in the sky instantly formed another massive exotic beast.

"How can it be this fast?"

Lin Yang looked at the thunder sea gathering once again in the sky, caught somewhat off guard.

During the previous tribulation, it had taken a very long time to build up momentum.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Just as Lin Yang was thinking, a huge turtle head emerged from the thunder sea in the sky.

After a few breaths, the exotic beast in the sky finally revealed its true form—a Xuanwu composed entirely of lightning.

This gigantic turtle blocked out the sun in the sky like a giant millstone.

The earth instantly plunged into darkness, entirely enveloped in the bathing purple light.

Meanwhile, Lin Yang hurriedly prepared himself, continuously channeling his spiritual energy, causing the formation to glow with a brilliant golden light once again.

The Xuanwu in the sky let out a roar and directly smashed downward.

Its massive form fell like a colossal mountain, carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Yet its descent grew faster and faster, far surpassing even the Qiqi.

Upon impact, its turtle shell shattered the ninth layer of defense in a single instant.

The remaining ten layers of defense were all smashed to pieces instantly, and this massive turtle shell landed squarely upon the golden formation.

While the golden formation managed to hold off the giant Xuanwu in the sky, the golden light was steadily dimming.

Thus, the giant Xuanwu and the golden light formation reached a stalemate, and the Xuanwu slowly descended further.

Soon, it collided with the peaks of the four mountains, its massive weight continuously crushing the tips of the four mountain summits.

Before long, the immense weight shattered the summits of the four mountains at the waist, and massive amounts of rubble fell from the peaks onto the earth, kicking up billowing clouds of dust.

The huge boulders crashed onto the ground, blasting out deep craters.

Some of the giant boulders rolled directly into the palaces on the mountainsides, smashing the struck palaces until they collapsed all the way down to the foot of the mountains.

Fortunately, there were currently no people residing in these palaces, and most of them were not normally in use.

People only gathered in these palaces under special circumstances.

As for the disciples, they did not live on the mountainsides, but rather in the cave dwellings at the foot of the mountains.

Just as the mountain peaks were on the verge of total collapse, the Xuanwu lost its momentum and transformed into purple points of light.

Dissipating into the sky, it looked breathtakingly beautiful, like moving stars filling the entire firmament.

"This formation is ruined."

The formation had been set up relying on the four mountains, and now the four tallest peaks looked as though they had been snapped off at the waist.

They were no longer the tallest peaks, which would render the entire formation useless.

At this moment, as the Xuanwu vanished, the entire golden protective barrier shattered along with it, producing the sound of a breaking mirror like a fractured looking-glass.

The gigantic golden fragments, resembling mirror shards, dissolved into wisps of spiritual energy as they fell toward the ground.

By now, his trump cards were exhausted; next, he would have to meet the final strike with his full strength.

Lin Yang held the demonic blade in his hand, then drew the Wuji Sword once more.

He continuously condensed his sword intent, his entire being transforming into a long sword with its sharp edge pointing toward the heavens.

At this moment, his edge was fully exposed, and a circular formation disc appeared beneath his feet.

Lin Yang used his own body as a formation, creating a Five Elements Grand Array.

The disc beneath his feet formed five compartments, each corresponding to a world of a specific attribute.

At the forefront was the Metal-attribute world, overflowing with metal Qi; all animals and plants in this world were composed of metal.

The second was the verdant Wood-attribute world, where the phantoms were entirely towering trees. At the center of this vast continent stood an exceptionally colossal tree.

This entire tree grew recklessly, as if holding up the sky.

On this tree were large numbers of magical creatures such as elves and giant dragons.

The third was an oceanic world, where all animals and plants in the ocean were predominantly blue.

There were even humans with fish fins, or rather, mermen holding tridents, darting across the sea surface.

In the fourth world, the entire continent sat atop a volcanic expanse.

It was as if the entire continent was formed from a single, complete piece of volcanic rock expelled by eruptions.

The creatures upon it were demonic beasts and lizard dragons composed of flames.

The creatures here were extremely hot-tempered; whenever any creatures encountered one another, their initial greeting was invariably a fight.

Here, whoever won the fight had the final say.

The fifth world was also a brownish realm, entirely composed of massive stone men and swamp monsters.

The whole world appeared quite lazy and slow-paced, yet possessed a profound weightiness.

Finally, the array diagrams of the five worlds rotated continuously, forming five massive phantoms that enveloped the entire Yunduan Mountain Range.

Emerging from the Metal-attribute world was a massive golden mountain, radiating a golden glow.

From the Wood-attribute world came a gigantic World Tree, entwined with various exotic flying dragons and beasts.

From the Water-attribute world rose an iceberg; although the entire iceberg was frozen in form, it still gave a sensation of flowing movement.

From the Fire-attribute world appeared the phantom of a giant composed of flames, upon whose head grew horns resembling those of an ox.

From the Earth-attribute world emerged a massive stone man, standing motionless in place like a mountain.

By now, the thunder sea in the sky had completed its charge.

The thunder sea above had completely absorbed all the clouds and mist.

At this moment, the sunlight in the sky beat down directly, and the thunder sea had shrunk into an extremely powerful thunder ball.

Just as Lin Yang prepared himself, the thunder ball in the sky smashed downward like a meteorite.

This fast-moving thunder ball trailed a purple tail as it plunged instantly downward, generating a tremendous wind pressure.

The trees throughout the mountain range swayed with uneasy agitation.

Lin Yang picked up the Wuji Sword and charged his sword intent until the long sword suddenly slipped from his hand.

The Wuji Sword generated a massive sword-shaped phantom, easily dozens of zhang in size.

It charged straight into the sky, meeting the oncoming thunder ball.

In an instant, the thunder ball and the Wuji Sword collided, and the phantom of the Wuji Sword shattered instantly.

The Wuji Sword itself crashed into the thunder ball, causing a direct impact as it pierced through the outer layer of the thunder ball and entered the interior of the thunder sea.

This also resulted in the Wuji Sword enduring the full brunt of the thunder ball's destructive power from within.

After a stalemate lasting a dozen breaths, the Wuji Sword broke into several pieces, transforming into fragments that fell from the sky.

"What a pity."

Looking at the Wuji Sword lying on the ground, stripped of all its lingering luster, Lin Yang understood that the Wuji Sword had now become entirely useless.

Although the Wuji Sword was formidable, it appeared slightly inadequate under the assault of this powerful heavenly tribulation.

Alas, even though the Wuji Sword was damaged, the entire heavenly tribulation had only shrunk by a fraction of its size.

Retaining its undiminished might, it plunged downward, directly striking the phantoms of the Five Elements worlds.

The phantoms successfully held back the thunder ball, and the two sides entered a stalemate once more.

The thunder ball neared the ground, and vast amounts of lightning leaked from it, continuously spraying across the entire mountain range.

The most powerful bolt of all abruptly cleaved a mountain peak in two.

The boulders at the summit of this several-hundred-meter-tall mountain snapped directly.

Then, leaning to one side, the several-hundred-meter-tall boulder crashed down onto the earth.

The speed and impact of the falling giant boulder whipped up a violent storm on the ground, which directly uprooted the surrounding trees.

At this moment, Lin Yang's clothes had already been ripped apart, and he pushed upward against the sky with both hands.

The tremendous force proved too much for his garments, causing them to burst apart instantly, revealing his solid, jade-textured muscles.

Simultaneously, bulging veins throbbed all over his body, and the spiritual energy within him was rapidly depleting.

After the span of a quarter of an hour, the spiritual energy inside his body was finally on the verge of exhaustion.

Deciding to make one final gamble, Lin Yang picked up the demonic blade and slashed across his own palm.

The sharp demonic blade carved a wound running straight across his palm.

In a flash, the demonic blade absorbed a vast amount of blood. Upon absorbing the blood, the demonic blade emitted a human-like hum.

Then, the demonic blade blazed with a brilliant crimson light, and Lin Yang hurriedly grasped it, slashing toward the descending thunder ball.

Before this weapon of ultimate offense, the thunder ball was split directly in two.

Upon being halved, the two halves of the thunder ball fell into opposite sides of the mountain range, triggering massive explosions.

Instantly, towering mushroom clouds billowed upward, reaching an estimated height of ten thousand meters when viewed from the sky.

On the ground, a tremendous wind pressure swept outward like a meteorite striking the earth, the intense pressure flattening everything in the surrounding area.

Even the tallest hundred-meter-old trees could not withstand the devastation and were uprooted entirely.

"It's over."

An hour later, Lin Yang looked at the gradually calming valley.

It took a full hour for the dust in the sky to settle back onto the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the craters blasted out by the two thunder balls were roughly one kilometer in diameter.

Moreover, they were dozens of meters deep, resembling impact craters on the moon, filled with massive shattered trees and broken boulders.

In one spot, a high mountain had even been snapped in half and collapsed right into the crater, forming the shape of a giant basin.
