Less than half a minute after Xu Fan had blocked the first wave of heavenly tribulation, another bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Both its power and range far surpassed those of the first bolt.
Xu Fan raised his head and looked up at the Thunderclouds in the sky.
He could feel the will of this world trying to erase him.
That killing intent was more vast and powerful than that of any enemy he had ever faced!
But...
Behind him was Blue Star.
Hundreds of billions of people needed his protection.
Even against the will of the Forbidden Land, he would not fall.
Nor could he fall!
Xu Fan focused his attention and adjusted his breathing rhythm to keep his mind calm.
As the lightning bolt came crashing down with terrifying force, Xu Fan tightened his grip on the battle blade in his hand.
This time, he activated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, using Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki as support to coat the blade.
With a swing of his blade, he slashed horizontally at the descending lightning.
The sharp edge tore through the air, raising a piercing whistle.
Then, a blackish-purple shockwave shot straight into the sky.
It collided with the falling lightning.
Rumble!
A deafening boom exploded beside Xu Fan and the others.
The surging lightning was forcibly broken apart by Xu Fan's power.
Until it completely dissipated before him.
But immediately afterward came the third bolt, then the fourth...
One after another, they struck down at Xu Fan.
Facing the Thunderclouds' terrifying onslaught, Xu Fan remained calm.
Wielding a force of natural disaster no weaker than the lightning itself, he neutralized every strike.
Who knew how much time had passed...
The Thunderclouds in the sky gradually began to disperse.
Sunlight spilled across the earth.
