The Heavenly Separation Realm cultivators lying in ambush around him and plotting against him—no, those who had calculated against him—were the real threat.
However, Yang Chen no longer had time to think. The Ninth Thunder descended and erupted within mere breaths.
The Ninth Thunder came surging with savage force, its might astonishing.
Yang Chen had also built up his momentum. The Five Elements Overturning Heaven Palm, strengthened by the Myriad Law Dao Embryo's enhancement of his Five Elements Dao Intent, descended once more.
Yet this Ninth Thunder Tribulation was clearly not so easily dispelled.
At the very least, Yang Chen could not break it with a single enhanced Five Elements Overturning Heaven Palm alone.
The giant palm tangled viciously with the Ninth Thunder above, like a colossal dragon coiled tight with wrath. Yang Chen's Five Elements Laws surged forth and collided with layer upon layer of lightning, yet they were visibly at a disadvantage.
Seeing Yang Chen fall into disadvantage, quite a few Heavenly Separation Realm experts revealed delighted expressions. Naturally, they hoped he would suffer the worse, the better.
But Yang Chen was still some distance away from having exhausted every trick up his sleeve.
Seeing that one palm was not enough, he waved his sleeve again, and the second palm swiftly descended.
Now that his strength had reached the Heavenly Separation Realm, the power of his own laws was no longer what it had once been. Pressing out three palms in succession was still within his limits, though it would leave him somewhat fatigued.
As the second Five Elements Overturning Heaven Palm descended, it worked together with the first, as though a giant beyond the heavens were using both hands to wrestle with the heavenly lightning.
Yet even so, the Ninth Thunder Tribulation still resembled a giant dragon.
