CHAPTER 1117: CHAPTER 1117: HUMAN-SHAPED HEAVENLY THUNDER

"Boom!"

A loud explosion echoed.

The Kunlun Hammer in Xu Nian’s hand shattered instantly, and his whole body was blown away by the thunder.

"Xu Nian..."

Leng Yanran and the others cried out in shock.

The three-colored thunder was terrifying beyond belief.

Even a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact was shattered; being hit by it, Xu Nian was unlikely to survive.

The members of the Heavenly Court Gang were dumbfounded, unable to believe such an astonishing Heavenly Tribulation.

Even if they were beaten to death, they would not have believed it was real without seeing it with their own eyes.

The timid ones were left with an indelible nightmare in their hearts.

"Cough, cough!"

At this moment, Xu Nian was covering his mouth, continuously coughing up blood.

"Damn it, is this Heavenly Tribulation supposed to be this fierce?" Xu Nian cursed inwardly.

Although he was wearing the Cloud Silk Robe, the impact of the Heavenly Tribulation on him could not be completely neutralized.

The power of that previous Heavenly Tribulation was too strong, and the resulting shock directly injured his internal organs.

This was despite Xu Nian’s body being reinforced by energy metal; otherwise, an Early Stage Earth Immortal would have likely been shaken to death.

"Two more Heavenly Tribulations are coming, and these will be the most dangerous, especially the last one, which will certainly involve a Heart Demon Tribulation," Xu Nian thought to himself.

His eyes were extremely solemn.

He had already used up almost all his techniques.

The next two Heavenly Tribulations would present a great crisis.

"Well, I might as well brace myself and forge through it," Xu Nian thought to himself.

The King Jing Sword appeared in his hand once again.

"Boom!"

The sky thundered once more.

This time, it seemed as though hundreds of thousands of Thunder Dragons were roaring in the thunderclouds.

"Boom!"

Finally, the eighth Heavenly Tribulation descended, and Xu Nian looked toward the Heavenly Dome.

The scene before him surprised him; a bolt of Heavenly Thunder transformed into a human shape, rushing towards him.

"Human-shaped Heavenly Thunder? How is this possible?"

The people in the distance were utterly stunned.

The birth of a human-shaped Heavenly Thunder—just how terrifying was this Heavenly Tribulation?

Xu Nian’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the rapidly approaching human-shaped Heavenly Thunder.

He hadn’t expected the eighth Heavenly Tribulation to take the form of a human-shaped Heavenly Thunder.

There had been only one instance of human-shaped Heavenly Thunder in the history of the Cultivation World, which occurred when a peerless genius was undergoing Tribulation millions of years ago.

But that wasn’t the eighth one; it was the ninth.

And that genius ultimately perished under the human-shaped Heavenly Thunder.

Why?

Because the human-shaped Heavenly Thunder was too terrifying.

It not only contained the Thunderclap Destruction Fifth Level Domain Profound Argumentation level of power, but also held the Thunderclap Sky Explosion Profound Argumentation.

With dual Profound Argumentations, this meant that the human-shaped Heavenly Thunder’s power reached an extremely terrifying level.

"Boom!"

The human-shaped Heavenly Thunder appeared in front of Xu Nian instantly, with a fist pounding towards him.

Xu Nian’s expression changed; this human-shaped thunder could actually fight?

Without thinking, Xu Nian directly used Space Shuttle Profound Argumentation.

The next moment, Xu Nian’s form appeared ten miles away.

"Boom!"

No sooner had Xu Nian vanished than the human-shaped thunder’s fist struck the spot where Xu Nian had previously stood.

With an earth-shaking boom, the ground where Xu Nian had just been shook violently, turning into a charred blackness.

Ferocious thunder swept across a radius of ten miles.

The spectators around were shocked, realizing how terrifying the combat power of the human-shaped thunder was.

Crucially, the human-shaped thunder hadn’t dissipated, and its Thunderclap Power had only diminished by a tiny fraction.

"Roar!"

The human-shaped thunder emitted a roar, charging towards Xu Nian once more.

The roar rolled like thunder, shaking the surroundings.

Its speed was incredibly fast.

Because it itself was thunder.

The ten-mile distance was closed in the blink of an eye.

Even with Spatial Teleportation, Xu Nian wasn’t much faster than the thunder.

"Buzz buzz!"

Xu Nian’s form continually teleported.

The human-shaped thunder’s attacks kept landing.

The ground was punched into one deep crater after another.

The entire earth trembled continuously, spreading the shockwave across the entire Tianlan Continent.

The onlookers were even more dumbfounded.

This human-shaped Heavenly Thunder was indeed too terrifying.

"Roar!"

Finally, it was the human-shaped thunder’s time.

The entire human-shaped thunder suddenly exploded.

In the next moment, a radius of several hundred miles turned to ashes instantly.

The onlookers were once again blown away.

This time, the Heavenly Court Gang members were prepared, immediately forming battle formations to resist together.

Even so, the defensive lineup formed by tens of thousands of them was still shaken and swayed by the terrifying wave.

The loose cultivators were even blown away, with the weaker ones spitting blood.

At this moment, a massive mushroom cloud rose in the sky over the Tribulation Crossing location of Xu Nian.

"How terrifying!"

At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck.

Even the strong Earth Immortals lurking in the shadows were shocked by the self-destruction of the human-shaped thunder.

The late-stage Earth Immortal Realm cultivators pondered internally, wondering if they could withstand this terrifying Heavenly Thunder.

Their final conclusion was that they could hold against it, but it would come at a great cost.

This conclusion left them deeply shocked.

Xu Nian’s form was also swaying, although he was protected by the Cloud Silk Robe and appeared unscathed on the surface.

But his internal organs had been completely turned to mush.

At this moment, his Divine Demon Gang Qi was frantically recomposing his internal organs.

The pain was so intense it was beyond words.

"One more, just one more! Damn heavens, I’ll strike you down!" The King Jing Sword in Xu Nian’s hand disappeared.

In its place was an axe.

As the Star Axe appeared, an unprecedented wave of majesty emanated from it.

At this moment, Xu Nian’s presence also changed.

It was as if everything between heaven and earth became incredibly fragile before him.

"What... what level weapon is this axe? It’s absolutely a treasure!"

"At least a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, no, at least a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact, or possibly even a Top-grade Immortal Artifact."

"Who would have thought there’d be such a treasure in the Cultivation World!"

...

Those Earth Immortal Realm cultivators in hiding had eyes glistening with a hot gleam as they looked at the Star Axe.

Though they couldn’t discern what level of weapon was in Xu Nian’s hand,

they were sure that this axe was an incredibly powerful treasure.

A greedy intent immediately arose within them.

They had already decided to snatch the axe as soon as Xu Nian was dead.

Even if Xu Nian didn’t die, they could strike while he was weak after finishing the Tribulation Crossing.

Xu Nian didn’t know that the Star Axe he conjured had attracted the covetous eyes of those hidden Earth Immortal Realm experts.

And even if he knew, he wouldn’t care, not even if these people included those at the Peak of Earth Immortal Realm.

After all, right now, surviving the Heavenly Tribulation was the most critical task.
