Martial Master

Blood flowed all over his body, and he was so badly injured that there was not a single intact spot left. His hair had turned to char.

The meridians within him were also cracked by the thunder tribulation, but under the operation of the Nine-Star Divine Emperor's Art, they were quickly repairing. However, the residual lightning power was crazily eroding his body. By the time the lightning dissipated, Qin Chen was already covered in wounds.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Chen wore the Demon Armor and that his Indestructible Sacred Land had reached the peak of the fourth layer, an ordinary mid-stage Seventh Level Martial King would have likely been turned to ashes by that blow.

Qin Chen sensed that his cultivation had risen again slightly, but he felt no joy. This thunder tribulation was too inexplicable; even if he was too defiant, this was the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, not the main continent of Tianwu. There shouldn't be such a terrifying thunder tribulation, right?

Moreover, this thunder tribulation contained chilling powers that didn't seem like pure thunder tribulation at all; it was very strange.

Boom!

With a series of low rumbling sounds, after three more bolts of lightning struck down, the dark thunderclouds in the gloomy sky did not dissipate but instead became even more frenzied in their gathering. The black lightning within twisted like a flood dragon, exuding a heart-pounding aura.

This thunder tribulation had not yet disappeared.

At this moment, Qin Chen was filled with anger and fear, unable to care much about anything else. The previous thunder tribulation had nearly severely injured him, and the upcoming one was bound to be even more terrifying. If he couldn't withstand it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A large number of black magic crystals suddenly appeared in his storage ring. Qin Chen frantically absorbed the energy from these crystals, transforming it into true essence in his meridians. The magic crystals shattered one by one at a shocking speed.

At the same time, Qin Chen poured all the healing elixirs he had prepared from his storage ring into his mouth. Under the operation of the Nine-Star Divine Emperor's Art, his previously damaged body quickly began to recover.

While doing all of this, Qin Chen also took out a series of formation flags. These flags were ones he had crafted earlier; their rank was not high, and in such a short time, he could only set up some simple formations. But at this moment, Qin Chen couldn't care too much; even if it could slightly resist the thunder tribulation, it would be beneficial for him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the third thunder tribulation had not yet descended, Qin Chen thought of other methods. At this point, he was no longer filled with the joy of breaking through; all he felt was the desire to survive the thunder tribulation.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Just as Qin Chen had set up a semi-Seventh Level defensive formation using the formation flags, the third bolt of lightning had already struck down.

This time, six bolts of lightning descended, all as thick as an arm. The power of this thunder tribulation increased far too quickly, from one bolt to three bolts, and now to six bolts.

Boom!

The first bolt of lightning fell, and the formation Qin Chen had just set up was immediately shattered. He hurriedly threw out a black large seal to block the second bolt of lightning. Following that, the golden bowl was also summoned by Qin Chen to intercept the falling thunder tribulation.

These three treasures could only block two bolts of lightning before they were directly sent flying.

Looking at the remaining four bolts of lightning, Qin Chen gritted his teeth and brandished the mysterious rusty sword fiercely.

Boom!

Qin Chen felt a numbness in his hands, and the mysterious rusty sword was almost knocked out of his grip. Immediately afterward, a terrifying force of lightning surged into his body, sending him flying heavily.

Wow!

This time, Qin Chen directly spat out a mouthful of black blood. His body was like a scarecrow, and the injuries that had just begun to heal worsened once again.
