Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 182 The Calamity Clouds Split in Two

To be honest, even Wang Hu himself didn't understand why he rushed into the dragon's tribulation cloud, but he sensed the desire deep in his heart, and that's why he did it.

It's a strange feeling, like someone who's been starving for three days seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast; the body's instincts have overwhelmed rational thought.

The five-clawed golden dragon that was undergoing its tribulation naturally noticed Wang Hu's presence immediately.

Those golden dragon eyes, as large as the sun, turned slightly for a moment, looking at the uninvited guest who had rushed into his "examination room".

A hint of obvious doubt flashed in the dragon's eyes, as if to say, "What's this little kitten doing here? Is it lost?"

However, it was only puzzled for a moment. After all, the range of the tribulation clouds was simply too vast. Wang Hu's size was like an ant falling into a swimming pool within the scale of the tribulation clouds, and it would not cause any substantial interference to it at all.

More importantly, the crimson tribulation cloud in the sky had accumulated to a terrifying critical point, and its earth-shattering pressure forced it to go all out.

Jinlong quickly turned all his attention back to the blood-red vortex of death above his head.

Meanwhile, Wang Hu plunged headfirst into the edge of the tribulation clouds, and the tiger almost groaned with pleasure.

"Ohh ...

He could clearly feel that the violent, destructive lightning power around him, upon contacting his body, not only did not cause damage, but instead, it was like countless warm little hands, surging wildly into his body, giving him a full-body massage.

These lightning forces, incredibly pure and imbued with a trace of the primordial laws of heaven and earth, penetrated into Wang Hu's muscles and bones.

The deepest level of tempering takes place within the internal organs, and even within every single cell.

Wang Hu could clearly feel that his physical strength was increasing at a rocket-like speed. His already indestructible tiger body was now evolving in an even more inhuman direction.

To his even greater surprise, as his physical strength rapidly increased, his dantian (energy center) also began to undergo dramatic changes.

Originally, after advancing to the peak of the third tier, his Qi Sea had already expanded to its limit, resembling a calm and vast lake. But now, the boundaries of this lake are actually beginning to expand outwards again!

"Snap!"

With a soft sound that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, Wang Hu felt an invisible shackle within him being forcibly broken by this immense power.

The next second, his dantian was no longer a lake, but turned into a huge, wildly spinning vortex!

This vortex generated an unimaginable suction force, and began to frantically devour the spiritual energy floating in the surrounding world.

No, it wasn't just spiritual energy; even the nascent lightning energy within the tribulation clouds was forcibly pulled in by this vortex and swallowed whole.

"Holy crap, is it going to upgrade?" Wang Hu was both surprised and delighted.

He originally thought that to break through to the fourth rank, he would need to spend at least another six months peacefully basking in the sun, honing his body and strength to perfection. Unexpectedly, his impulsive act today unexpectedly triggered the opportunity for a breakthrough ahead of schedule!

However, as soon as he made a commotion, the might of heaven and earth above seemed to immediately notice this "cheating" examinee.

The terrifying heavenly might that had been completely locked onto the golden dragon suddenly split off a wisp, which locked onto Wang Hu like a searchlight.

"Buzz—"

Wang Hu felt a sudden heaviness all over his body, as an immense pressure originating from heaven and earth, from the rules, instantly enveloped him.

Immediately afterwards, on the sea below, amidst the astonishing light of the beams of light that left all the spectators speechless, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The crimson tribulation clouds in the sky, covering an area of ​​a hundred miles and already blotting out the sun, began to churn violently.

It was pulled apart, and then—it was torn apart from the middle by an invisible force!

What was originally a single, continuous cloud of calamity was instantly split in two!

A force remained atop the golden dragon's head, its power undiminished, and even more solidified and terrifying due to its reduced range.

Meanwhile, another, smaller but equally blood-red cloud, also exuding an aura of world destruction, seemed to have found a new target and drifted majestically toward Wang Hu's location, eventually hovering directly above him!

"This—this is fucking possible?" In the flagship command center, a young liaison officer stared at the splitting clouds of destruction on the screen, dropping his pen to the ground, completely dumbfounded.

"Two—two fourth-order Heavenly Tribulations? Appearing simultaneously? This doesn't conform to the law of conservation of energy! Nor does it fit any existing model of supernatural power!"

An elderly scientist with white hair stared intently at the red curve that had already exceeded the maximum reading on the data analyzer, trembling with excitement and muttering to himself as if he had witnessed a miracle.

"Big cat! You stupid tiger! Do you want to die?!"

On the outer battlefield, Lin Yue, who was locked in a fierce battle with the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," also witnessed this astonishing scene. Her heart nearly leaped out of her throat in terror, and she let out a piercing roar, almost causing the five-colored divine fire she unleashed with a flap of her wing to go astray.

She just couldn't understand how this lazy golden tiger could suddenly go crazy and go to someone else's tribulation to gain experience. Now look what happened, it's gotten into trouble and directly brought trouble upon itself, creating a tribulation for itself too!

This is simply unheard of and unseen!

The entire battlefield fell into a moment of deathly silence because of this sudden turn of events. Whether it was the powerful figures from China or the extraordinary individuals from the United States and the European Union, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the two distinct blood-red clouds in the sky, as well as the divine dragon and the tiny tiger below.

A dragon and a tiger, undergoing tribulation simultaneously!

This scene is worthy of being recorded in human history!

"Holy shit!"

In the command center, Wu Nanshan, the commander-in-chief who had maintained his composure throughout, couldn't help but swear when he saw this scene. He stared intently at the golden figure on the screen, his heart pounding wildly.

shock!

This is absolutely shocking! Wang Hu suddenly triggered a fourth-order heavenly tribulation without any preparation or warning. This is practically playing with his life! Nobody knows if he can survive it.

But what followed was ecstasy!

What would it mean if Wang Hu succeeded?

This means that China will have two fourth-tier supreme powerhouses at the same time!

Moreover, one is a mythical dragon, the other a native divine beast, the white tiger; one follows the traditional path of cultivation, the other is purely physical ascension to sainthood. These two different fourth-tier paths have immeasurable strategic significance for the future development of extraordinary civilization in China!
