Three-Headed Demon Dragon Undergoing Tribulation

Seeing Gu Ding step into the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon was somewhat distraught. Gu Ding's entry not only doubled the power of the Heavenly Tribulation but also doubled Heavenly Tribulation duration. He had initially thought this tiny human was merely trying to threaten him and extort some benefits, but now it seemed that was far from the truth. Gu Ding's strength was far inferior to his own; stepping into the Heavenly Tribulation's range was tantamount to suicide. The fact that Gu Ding had now stepped in clearly indicated his intention to perish together with him.

He had been suppressing his temper, worried about dragging the other party into it, but now that the other party had come in, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon finally lost his temper completely.

The central head suddenly opened its massive maw, spewing out a stream of Ice-Blue Flame. Strangely, wherever the flames passed, frost began to form. The biting cold spread rapidly, quickly transforming the nearby sea into a frozen world.

The icy blue flames swept towards Gu Ding, and before they even reached his body, the chill had already seeped into his divine source. Although the strength of Gu Ding 'Gu Ding divine source had increased significantly, it was still far inferior to that of a beast like the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.

As the chill invaded his body, Gu Ding felt his body stiffen. Keep in mind, he was currently in a fire elemental form, yet he still felt the biting cold. This shows how terrifying this move was.

Just as Gu Ding was about to dodge, the Sea Emperor's voice echoed in his mind, "Don't dodge, let him freeze you. There's no point in fighting him now. He's at his peak, and your strongest attack is just a tickle to him. It's better to wait for him to undergo his tribulation first, and then strike at the right moment to finish him off. Anyway, you've already achieved your primary goal of entering the area affected by the Heavenly Tribulation. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation will soon double, and its duration will be extended."

Hearing the Sea Emperor's words, Gu Ding immediately stopped his attempt to dodge, allowing the icy blue flames to envelop him. Gu Ding felt the chill intensify, and just as his body was about to give way, his Indestructible Golden Body finally unleashed its power, completely expelling the chill from his body and isolating it outside. Gu Ding had now completely transformed into an ice sculpture. In reality, with his Indestructible Golden Body, Gu Ding could easily have shattered the massive block of ice that had sealed him, but he didn't.

Looking at the humans instantly frozen in ice, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon said disdainfully, "You weakling, like an ant, dare to provoke me, and even dare to dream of dying together with me. I will kill you first!"

As he spoke, he raised his tail to strike. Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and exploded down in an instant, a white lightning bolt as thick as an arm crashing down fiercely towards the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.

The Three-Headed Demon Dragon quickly redirected its massive tail, which had been lashing out at Gu Ding, and slammed it into the white lightning bolt. Its physical body was indeed incredibly strong, managing to withstand the lightning strike head-on. The three enormous heads clearly showed human-like expressions of pain.

Gu Ding saw all of this.

"That's the advantage of being small. That guy is so big, even if there's a ranged attack from the Heavenly Tribulation later, he'll withstand most of it, leaving little for you. And by freezing you, he's essentially created a giant ice shield for you." The Sea Emperor chuckled in Gu Ding's ear.

"But this guy is indeed very strong. He actually withstood the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation with his body and was not injured." Gu Ding also saw the power of that lightning bolt just now. If it had hit him, without the divine power of the Indestructible Golden Body, he would probably have been annihilated with just one strike.

"The intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation varies from person to person. Even among experts of the same star rank, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation can differ greatly. This is because the Heavenly Tribulation can sense the intensity of the aura of the one undergoing the tribulation, and this sense cannot be blocked. Some people may be able to block the detection of other experts by cultivating special techniques, but such methods are useless against the Heavenly Tribulation, because the Heavenly Tribulation is created in response to the Heavenly Tribulation."

"This Three-Headed Demon Dragon has Flood Dragon genes in its bloodline. Coupled with the mutation caused by the virus, it has achieved Combat Strength close to five stars despite being Three-Star Mid-rank God. Its aura is also stronger than that of a typical Four-Star Mid-rank God. Therefore, the attack intensity of that lightning strike was comparable to the full-force attack of a peak Four-Star Mid-rank God. It's not surprising that it withstood it with its bare body. But you don't need to worry at all. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation will only increase with each strike, and this is just the beginning. Judging from the effect of the first strike, the chances of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon successfully passing the tribulation this time are less than one percent, unless it has some life-saving Strange Treasure hidden inside its body. Otherwise, my calculation of the probability is correct."

Just as Gu Ding and the Sea Emperor were discussing, the second wave of lightning descended. This time, two white bolts of lightning, each as thick as an adult's thigh, struck down again.

The leftmost head of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon opened its mouth and spat out two beams of white light, which collided with the two bolts of lightning.

"Boom!" Two violent roars rang out, the impact sending up a powerful energy wave that whipped up a strong wind in the air and a huge wave on the sea. However, the white light and lightning also disappeared at the same time.

The Three-Headed Demon Dragon's attack this time was clearly unrestrained. In a life-or-death situation like the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation, it did not hold back, which allowed Gu Ding to see its true strength.

"That attack just now was definitely at the level of Five-Star Mid-rank God!" Sea Emperor gave this assessment. "Although this guy hasn't fully advanced to four stars yet, his strength is clearly stronger than what that crocodile said before."

However, Gu Ding also considered another aspect: Kepu's ability to fight the Three-Headed Demon Dragon to a draw gave Gu Ding a rough idea of Kepu's Combat Strength. But this assessment also made Gu Ding realize that his situation was not optimistic. Even if he didn't use his sealing power on the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, when he encountered Kepu later, Kop would definitely be wary of him and prevent him from getting close.

By the time the third wave of lightning arrived, it had become four bolts of lightning falling simultaneously.

The middle head of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon finally joined the battle, spewing out icy blue flames. Although it failed to freeze the lightning, it did slow down its descent. Then, it used its left head to continuously spew out eight beams of white light to extinguish the four lightning bolts.

Then, the fourth wave of lightning descended, and the original four bolts of lightning transformed into eight. The Three-Headed Demon Dragon remained calm and used the same method as before to break through.

"His icy blue flames, carrying such strong slowing effect from the icy energy, actually have such a powerful effect?" Gu Ding also found it somewhat unbelievable.

"His flame is called the Mystic Serpent's Ice Flame, which is also a divine fire, the life flame of the Flood Dragon clan. It's far inferior in quality to the two divine fires within you. If you use this flame as your third divine fire, the effect of using Burning Heaven will definitely not be very good." The Sea Emperor guessed that Gu Ding had the idea of taking it because he saw that this flame was effective, so he immediately advised against it. "Burning Heaven only has nine forms in total, and you can only take in ten different divine fires. So try to use the best divine fires to maximize the power of Burning Heaven."

"I understand!" Gu Ding nodded, his gaze continuing to fall in the direction of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, where the fifth wave of lightning tribulation had already descended.

This time, the number of lightning bolts doubled again, reaching sixteen.

Although the Three-Headed Demon Dragon managed to stop it, it seemed to be struggling a bit.

The sixth wave of tribulation lightning, thirty-two bolts of lightning... The Three-Headed Demon Dragon struggled to block them, but one bolt slipped through. He quickly lashed out with his tail to intercept it. The massive dragon tail struck the bolt of lightning firmly, scattering the light, but the dragon still let out a violent scream. The spot struck by the lightning was charred black, and he rapidly activated his body to repair himself.

At the same time, the head on the far right finally opened its mouth and exhaled a thick layer of black mist, enveloping its entire massive body.

"What is the purpose of this black mist?" Gu Ding wondered to himself as the seventh wave of lightning finally descended.

Sixty-four bolts of lightning struck down vertically like pillars of light, and upon contact with the black mist, they emitted a strange hissing sound.

"That black mist seems to be a kind of filtering energy, capable of blocking half of the Heavenly Tribulation energy." After some investigation, the Sea Emperor came to this conclusion.

The seventh wave of lightning tribulation passed quickly.

The eighth wave of lightning tribulation saw 128 bolts of lightning fall like a meteor Fire Rain.

The black mist had not dissipated, Gu Ding guessed that the Three-Headed Demon Dragon had probably managed to hold on.

The ninth wave of lightning finally arrived, with two hundred and fifty-six bolts of lightning pouring down like a torrential rain.

Logically, this should be the final tribulation, but due to Gu Ding's interference, the Heavenly Tribulation is still halfway to its end.

A torrential downpour of lightning unleashed its fury, illuminating the entire sky with white flashes that even obscured the light of the stars.

On the sea, black fog trembled violently, and its coverage area shrank at a visible speed.

Gu Ding couldn't see what was happening inside the black mist at all, but the Sea Emperor could see it all clearly.

Within the black mist, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon were busily engaged in a chaotic frenzy, spewing black mist and flames. Even the white light emitted from the left head had condensed into a more powerful ball of light, which bombarded the lightning bolts.

Although the black mist was being consumed, the demonic dragon was actively replenishing it, and the rate at which the covered area was decreasing was also very slow. In addition, with the delaying ability of the Mystic Serpent's Ice Flame, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon managed to withstand the attack.

All 256 lightning bolts disappeared.

As the black mist shrank, the three heads of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon were fully revealed outside the mist. Gu Ding saw that all three heads were panting heavily, looking somewhat exhausted.

But before he could catch his breath, lightning gathered again in the clouds, and this time the occasional flashes of lightning were golden, unlike the white ones before.

Seeing this, the three-headed giant dragon glared resentfully in the direction of Gu Ding. He knew that the tenth wave of Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend... (To be continued...)
