An anomalous Heavenly Tribulation? Just what they had feared most!
Jiang Wu's avatar's face twitched twice.
"An anomalous tribulation... He's only at the peak of Return to Void, crossing a Dao Integration Heavenly Tribulation. How could an anomaly appear?"
By all reason, anomalous Heavenly Tribulations mostly appeared when breaking through from Spirit Transformation to Return to Void. Upon reaching the Dao Integration Realm, the form of the tribulation would change into a "Dao Tribulation."
It meant the Great Dao descending with heavenly punishment, crushing the tribulation-crosser with the power of laws.
What kind of Dao Tribulation would condense a phantom anomaly?
Yet the phantom deep within the tribulation clouds only grew clearer and clearer.
It was not the Demon Beast from when Lin Heng had crossed his tribulation before.
Instead, it was an inexplicable tower, nine stories tall.
The nine-story lightning tower slowly descended from the tribulation clouds. Every level was forged from violet-gold lightning, while densely packed chains of lightning hung from its eaves, stirring the entire sky into a droning hum.
A fist-sized lightning pearl hung at the tower's tip, radiating the suffocating majesty of heavenly punishment.
Then the lightning tower moved.
BOOM!
The first wave of heavenly punishment poured down from the tower's base, like a cauldron of violet-gold molten iron being overturned, drenching every inch of space within the five-thousand-zhang lightning domain.
Fa Ming let out a miserable cry. The blue-white flames of the Misfortune-Crossing Lotus Lamp abruptly swelled to their limit, barely managing to keep that power of heavenly punishment outside.
"Holy shit!!"
"This... this is supposed to be a Heavenly Tribulation?" Fa Ming disregarded the precepts of a monk entirely, his mouth full of curses.
They said monks did not lie. But if anyone spoke of today's Heavenly Tribulation, no one would believe them.
