Capítulo 1498: Chapter 1469: Heavenly Tribulation from the Sky

Li Chen’s heart was pounding furiously at this moment.

Given his power, not to mention these Divine Wind Wolf Pack, even a single Divine Wind Wolf King could easily finish him off.

Even if he truly broke through to the Heaven Following Realm, he wouldn’t have the confidence to face such a large wolf pack, but at this very moment, he did.

“Awoo~~”

As a fourth-order Celestial Demon Beast, the Divine Wind Wolf King’s intelligence was already on par with the Human Race. Watching Li Chen, its snow-white fur quivered slightly, seeming somewhat doubtful, yet it didn’t attack first.

Previously, if such a Little Bug dared to provoke before it, it would have probably swiped it dead with a single paw.

But Li Chen’s appearance made it somewhat apprehensive.

“Not submitting?” Li Chen’s eyes glared, as he suddenly stepped forward a few paces.

He was getting anxious.

No choice but to act, the Heavenly Tribulation was coming; if he didn’t make a move soon, he might be in real trouble.

A hidden fury flashed through the Wolf King’s eyes.

Although this little human’s aura was only at the Second Order level, any of its clan members could easily kill him. But why did he dare act so brazenly?

The Wolf Clan was originally a warlike Race. Being repeatedly provoked by Li Chen, it couldn’t help but grow impatient.

“Awoo!!”

The Divine Wind Wolf King also stepped forward aggressively, letting out a terrifying howl that made the entire forest tremble.

Li Chen’s mind went dizzy, almost passing out from the shock.

Shaking his head, Li Chen devised a plan.

“Are you sure you want to fight me?” Li Chen’s expression was serious.

“Awoo!!”

“Fine! Then I’ll fulfill your wish.” Holding a long blade, Li Chen stood his ground, his eyes fixed on the Divine Wind Wolf King.

On the surface, Li Chen was facing off against the Divine Wind Wolf King, but in reality, he extended his Divine Sense outward, reaching the sky, provocatively enticing the Tribulation Clouds.

“Come on, strike me, strike me.”

The Heavenly Tribulation clouds seemed infuriated by this insolent fellow, suddenly accelerating and quickly enveloping him.

“Whoosh—”

The Divine Wind Wolf King roared, its massive body pouncing toward Li Chen like a lightning bolt.

Feeling the rapidly approaching fierce wind, Li Chen’s scalp tingled with fear, while desperately hoping the Tribulation would descend quickly.

“Spatial Movement!”

With his speed, he couldn’t hope to match the Divine Wind Wolf King renowned for its speed; his only recourse was to rely on the Profound Meaning of Space Law to dodge.

Having narrowly dodged several attacks from the Divine Wind Wolf King, Li Chen inadvertently enraged the massive wolf again.

This damned creature, does it only know how to run?!

“Awoo!!”

Suddenly, the Divine Wind Wolf King unleashed a flurry of Wind Blades from its mouth.

Li Chen’s pupils shrank in fear; damn, these Wind Blades were more terrifying than his blade, nowhere to run if hit.

“You useless Heavenly Tribulation, strike me damn it! If you’ve got guts, strike me!” Li Chen’s Divine Sense provocatively taunted the skies.

Finally, a bolt of lightning flashed within the Tribulation clouds.

Li Chen instantly withdrew his Divine Sense.

Simultaneously, the boundless rain of thunder descended.

As it came, it was like a wild storm.

“Sizzle—Boom!!”

A frightening thunderstorm rained down across the forest.

Faced with this exaggerated thunderstorm, even Li Chen dared not hesitate, immediately forming the most solid defenses using the Five Elements Rule and summoning several Seventh Pearls that he had successfully refined.

“Lend me some strength, this Heavenly Tribulation wants my life!” Li Chen shouted.

The Supreme Treasure couldn’t be fully refined by Li Chen, but fortunately, the Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead had been scattered, and before being reunited, existed as separate entities. Li Chen successfully refined several Heavenly Pearls.

The Heavenly Pearls’ power was formidable, even as independent entities, they were incredibly powerful treasures. Several Heavenly Dao Pearls gleamed with radiant light, instantly forming solid Light Shields to protect Li Chen.

“Boom!!”

Thunder poured down endlessly, with Tribulation clouds venting their fury, determined to annihilate Li Chen, indiscriminately striking down.

With the protection of the Heavenly Dao Pearls, Li Chen was safe for the moment.

However, the Divine Wind Wolves were terrified.

Not to mention the speechless Divine Wind Wolf King.

The other Divine Wind Wolves whimpered with fear, frantically fleeing to the distance.

When had they ever seen such lightning?

Celestial Demon Beasts seeking to break their shackles and advance must also face a Tribulation; such beings were one in tens of thousands.

Moreover, as Demon Beasts, they feared this kind of Heaven and Earth might the most, without daring to resist against overwhelming lightning.

The originally formidable Divine Wind Wolf King poised to strike Li Chen was indeed powerful, among fourth-order Celestial Demons considered extremely powerful.

But… it hadn’t undergone the Tribulation!

As a Royal Family member of the Divine Wind Wolf lineage, born with a strong bloodline, it never needed to undergo the Tribulation; reaching maturity meant becoming a fourth-order Celestial Demon Beast.

Unless it sought an advance, it wouldn’t face the Tribulation. Thus, under this terrifying Heaven and Earth might, it focused its energy on self-protection, not daring to attack Li Chen, merely hoping to survive.

Li Chen stood within the Light Shield, listening to the endless frantic thunder booms, quite vexed.

Why is it that every time he faces the Tribulation, it ends up like this?

This lap of Tribulation brewed for too long, exploding like a constipated person, seemingly endless days and nights.

Li Chen estimated that if he had no Heavenly Dao Pearls, he’d have been struck into charcoal by now.

Even Old Face wouldn’t fare better if caught here, only getting struck dead.

Finally, the terrifyingly endless wave of Tribulation passed, allowing Li Chen to retract the Heavenly Dao Pearls’ now dim Light Shield.

His summoning catered to the most outrageous waves only, henceforth, relies on himself.

Without enduring the Baptism of Tribulation, even if successfully advancing, his strength would be no better than typical Heaven Following Realm, perhaps even weaker.

Li Chen learned this early on.

The harsher the Tribulation’s tempering, the stronger his post-advance strength!

After the first outrageous wave of Tribulation rain, subsequent events returned to normal.

Of course, this ‘normal’ is merely compared to before.

The Divine Wind Wolf King was near death, sparing its life proved its impressive strength, albeit struggling to stand.

Glancing at the prostrate Divine Wind Wolf King, Li Chen soared skyward under its stunned gaze.
