Heavenly Tribulation Slays a Title Douluo, Golden Egg Time Shortened! Can't Exploit the Lightning Tribulation Bug?
Meanwhile, Tang Xiao tacitly unleashed his inherited Soul Bone skill at the same time.
"Soul Bone Skill—Roaring Hammer Aura!"
The enormous Clear Sky Hammer swiftly gathered dense Soul Power. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into several massive, tangible spinning hammer auras that shot forth, blanketing the space directly in front of Lan Lingcang with attacks.
For a moment, Tang Hao's Mountain-Splitting Heavy Hammer came from above, the Title Douluo's Cloud-Piercing Falcon Sniper came from behind, and Tang Xiao's Roaring Hammer Aura came from the front!
All of Lan Lingcang's paths of retreat were completely sealed off in that instant, as though he had fallen into a hopeless death trap!
Facing this three-pronged killing strike powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, Lan Lingcang did not panic in the slightest.
He had long known that a Title Douluo was hiding nearby. No matter how well this Title Douluo concealed himself, he could not have escaped Lan Lingcang's detection.
He was presumably someone Spirit Hall had sent to monitor the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, only to discover that they were entangled with Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.
"Be careful. Stay in my arms and don't move around."
Lan Lingcang wrapped an arm around Ah Yin's soft, slender waist and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
Feeling the warmth of Lan Lingcang's embrace, Ah Yin, who had been somewhat panicked, somehow felt her wildly racing heart calm instantly.
After calming Ah Yin, Lan Lingcang's gaze turned sharp, and he let out a low shout.
"Blue Silver Domain, fully unleashed!"
"Origin of Wood, Elemental Control!"
The next moment.
The blue-gold vine that had been gently coiled around Ah Yin's waist suddenly expanded countless times over!
The vine rapidly wove and shifted in midair. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a red-and-blue spear radiating the aura of blazing flames and profound ice.
Carrying unmatched piercing force, the spear resembled an enormous dragon of ice and fire as it hurtled toward the pale-white falcon-feather light projectile behind them.
At the same time, under Lan Lingcang's control, countless Blue Silver Grass blades surged forth wildly.
They moved as though alive, swiftly weaving and entwining to form an incomparably huge, indestructible Blue Silver Cage on the spot, isolating all attacks from the outside.
And at this point, Lan Lingcang no longer intended to conceal anything.
Boom!
The Soul Power aura he had deliberately kept suppressed within his body erupted without reservation at that moment.
This aura far surpassed that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
A terrifying blue-gold pillar of light shot into the sky.
"Rumble!"
Empowered by the Blue Silver Domain, the red-and-blue spear controlled by Lan Lingcang steadily blocked the sneak attack of the Title Douluo's ninth Soul Skill behind him.
Likewise, the Blue Silver Cage effortlessly blocked the Soul Bone skills of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
However, this evenly matched deadlock did not last more than a few seconds.
High above the nine heavens, an unexpected upheaval suddenly occurred.
"Rumble!"
A deafening clap of thunder exploded overhead without warning, and violent winds suddenly rose.
The previously clear night sky was instantly shrouded by endless black clouds.
The heavy clouds churned wildly, while deep within the blackness, crimson lightning filled with destructive power flickered and gathered.
A heavenly might that made their very souls tremble relentlessly locked firmly onto the area below.
"This... this is!"
Held in Lan Lingcang's arms, Ah Yin felt that destructive heavenly might and raised her head in disbelief. "A Heavenly Tribulation! How could this be a Heavenly Tribulation?!"
Lan Lingcang said calmly, "This is a 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation. I deliberately saved it as a welcoming gift for this Title Douluo."
Ah Yin froze slightly. She had not expected Lan Lingcang to have known about the Title Douluo's existence all along.
What kind of "person" was he?
Why did he possess such terrifying strength?
"What is going on?!" Tang Xiao looked up at the crimson lightning, his scalp tingling.
This lightning was simply not something they could resist at their current level.
"Big Brother, run!" Tang Hao shouted. "Once we're locked onto, we're finished!"
With perfect tacit understanding, the two brothers turned into two streaks of light, pushing their Soul Power to the limit as they fled from the Lightning Tribulation's attack range as quickly as possible.
Their levels were the lowest among everyone present aside from Ah Yin. Based on the order of priority, the Lightning Tribulation would not lock onto them so quickly.
Lan Lingcang paid no attention to the Clear Sky Twin Stars fleeing in panic.
His target had never been those two immature leeks. If they ran, then they ran.
His icy eyes locked tightly onto the Title Douluo in midair, who had likewise been scared out of his wits by the heavenly might and was preparing to flee.
"Since you're already here, you think you can leave? It won't be that easy!" Lan Lingcang sneered.
In an instant, countless vines wove into a net that covered heaven and earth, completely sealing off the Title Douluo's retreat.
The Title Douluo's expression changed drastically as he desperately pushed his Soul Power in an attempt to break out.
But the Blue Silver Emperor vines, tempered by immortal herbs, had long surpassed his understanding in both regenerative ability and toughness.
Feeling the heavenly lightning draw closer and closer, the Title Douluo finally broke down, his eyes filled with undisguised terror.
"Let me go! Let me go now!" He struggled frantically and roared, "I'm an elder of Spirit Hall! If you get me killed today, you'll become an enemy of Spirit Hall!"
Faced with this hollow threat, Lan Lingcang threw back his head and laughed.
"So what? Don't use Spirit Hall to threaten me! Let me make this clear today—if one Title Douluo from Spirit Hall comes, I'll kill one! If two come, I'll kill them both!"
"Rumble!"
As soon as Lan Lingcang finished speaking, the long-gathering crimson 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation finally crashed down from the heavens!
One second before the heavenly lightning descended, Lan Lingcang waved his hand.
A soft vine instantly wrapped Ah Yin tightly into a cocoon. Then, with a fierce burst of force, it sent her directly beyond the Heavenly Tribulation's locked range.
"You have to be careful!" From the safety of the distance, Ah Yin watched the slender figure swallowed by crimson lightning. Her hands clutched tightly at her chest, and her eyes reddened.
Under the Heavenly Tribulation, the first to suffer was naturally the Spirit Hall Title Douluo whom Lan Lingcang had deliberately held in midair as a lightning rod.
Poor fellow—at the instant he was struck by the heavenly lightning, his entire body was charred black.
[Golden Egg hatching time remaining: ten years]
Lan Lingcang looked at the time shortened by one year, the corner of his lips curving upward slightly.
After the heavenly lightning killed the Title Douluo, the remaining might of the Lightning Tribulation slammed fiercely into Lan Lingcang's true body as well!
However, while undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, it was not as though Lan Lingcang had never tried using the Demon Contract to continue increasing his cultivation.
In fact, he had tried it during his first 100,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
He could not survive the Heavenly Tribulation with 100,000 years of cultivation, but what if he faced it with 190,000 years of cultivation? Could he survive then?
But he had failed to exploit that bug.
The system's response was that he had to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation before his cultivation could continue to improve. This was also a rule that Soul Beasts on Douluo Continent currently had to obey.
The system only provided Hextech; it would not help Lan Lingcang forcibly break the rules of this world.
If he wanted to break them, he would have to rely on himself!
