From Douluo to Defying Heaven and Becoming a God Chapter 49

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, his mind replaying the scene of that zombie undergoing its tribulation.

That zombie had only triggered the lightning tribulation when its strength was already formidable; naturally, it was incomparable to the tribulation that a weakling like Jiang Chen was about to face.

However, Jiang Chen could still glean some experience from it.

A moment later, he withdrew his thoughts and offered a bitter smile, realizing that aside from enduring it head-on, there seemed to be no other way.

"Bring it on, then," he told himself, trying to bolster his courage.

After all, having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and possessing his own cultivation technique and system, he couldn't possibly just kick the bucket like this, could he?

Furthermore, he recalled the golden bolt of lightning still within his body; perhaps it would emerge once more to help him block the heavenly tribulation?

He sat there, slowly circulating the Heavenly Corpse Transformation technique, emptying his mind to adjust his state.

Half an hour later, he snapped his eyes open. With deep, pitch-black orbs and two sharp fangs, he had already transformed into his zombie state.

Immediately following, his Zombie Martial Soul was released and fused with his body, further boosting his innate defense, strength, and other attributes.

"It should be coming now." He looked up at the clear sky, his dark eyes flickering with a ghostly light.

As if sensing his intent, the sensation of being locked onto by the heavenly tribulation grew increasingly intense.

"BOOM!"

A thunderclap rang out across the clear, ten-thousand-mile sky, and a massive dark cloud condensed out of thin air above Jiang Chen, radiating a terrifying aura of fluctuations.

Jiang Chen's eyelids twitched wildly, and his heart felt as though a heavy stone had been pressed upon it, leaving him nearly unable to breathe.

The rumbling of thunder made his scalp tingle, and the sense of danger lingering in his heart intensified a hundredfold in an instant.

Lightning, being the most rigid and yang-aligned force, was the ultimate bane of yin-evil entities like zombies; even zombies that had cultivated for a thousand years struggled to survive under a lightning tribulation.

Although Jiang Chen didn't consider himself an ordinary zombie, he still felt as though he were facing a formidable enemy.

The cultivators in novels always had magical treasures or formations to resist when undergoing tribulations, yet he could only rely on his own body to endure it.

It was fortunate that he was in this desolate mountain forest; otherwise, he would surely have attracted some overly curious people.

The tribulation cloud above Jiang Chen's head was not large, covering only the top of the small hill, but it appeared incredibly eerie against the cloudless sky.

Lightning rolled within the black clouds, and Jiang Chen felt immensely anxious, knowing that the moment was fast approaching.

Finally, the tribulation cloud seemed to have finished brewing, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck straight down toward Jiang Chen, pouring directly into the crown of his head.

He did not know how many bolts the tribulation consisted of or how long it would last, so he did not release his first soul skill; after all, he knew that the power of the tribulation would only increase as it progressed.

Before the lightning even touched him, his scalp was already tingling, and his hair stood straight up on end.

Once the lightning entered his body, his circulating Heavenly Corpse Transformation technique came to an abrupt halt. He went stiff as a corpse; originally sitting cross-legged, his legs suddenly kicked out, and he fell flat onto the ground, rigid and straight.

His black eyes were wide open, his entire body wreathed in lightning, twitching at a truly alarming frequency.

Pain! Bone-deep, heart-piercing pain!

Jiang Chen felt as if his flesh and bones had been placed upon a millstone, being ground to pieces bit by bit.
