Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

Chapter 86 Breakthrough, Struck by Lightning!

With the transformation within Lu Chen's body complete, he truly began his breakthrough.

The chaotic energy cluster hovering above Lu Chen's head suddenly exploded, forming a small chaotic world that enveloped Lu Chen.

Then a tall, indistinct figure appeared behind Lu Chen, towering over the heavens and looking down upon the sky.

"this----

"Brother Chen, what kind of strange phenomenon is this? Is a Celestial King descending from the heavens?"

"Why does it look different from what's recorded?"

Seeing the strange phenomenon that Lu Chen was exhibiting, Ye Fan's face showed a look of doubt.

Ye Fan had specifically researched the phenomenon, but the phenomenon Lu Chen was exhibiting did not match what he knew.

Just as Ye Fan was wondering, he saw the giant phantom behind Lu Chen suddenly raise its hand and slash down with force.

Only then did Ye Fan notice that the giant phantom was holding a large axe.

"I'm suing for wrongdoing!"

"What the hell is this thing?"

"Did Pangu create the world?"

As the giant phantom cleaved the surrounding chaotic miniature world in two with a single axe strike, Ye Fan's mouth gaped open.

As an Earthling, he was naturally familiar with this scene.

Isn't this exactly the scene of Pangu creating the world in mythology?

However, the following scene was different from the mythical creation of the world by Pangu. The chaotic little world that was split open was not divided into heaven and earth, but instead turned into four streams of air of different colors.

If you observe carefully, you can see that the attributes represented by these four air currents are "earth, wind, water, and fire".

After the chaotic energy was divided into these four streams, they each converged into Lu Chen's arms and legs.

As these four streams of energy merged into Lu Chen's body, a terrifying, ancient, and primal aura instantly rose from his body.

Ye Fan, who was closer, was directly forced to the ground by this aura.

Seeing this, the little girl squatted down next to Ye Fan with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Brother Ye, are you tired?"

Looking into the little girl's innocent big eyes, Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded helplessly, saying, "Yes, I'm tired. It's comfortable lying like this."

Fortunately, this aura didn't last long and soon dissipated.

By the time Ye Fan got up from the ground, Lu Chen had also woken up from his cultivation.

After assessing his current state, Lu Chen smiled with satisfaction.

This Four Extremes Secret Realm truly lives up to its reputation as a crucial early-game hurdle; the gap in combat power between it and Dao Palace cultivators is simply too vast.

The so-called four poles refer to the connection between the four poles of the human body and the four poles of heaven and earth, and the communication between the microcosm of the human body and the macrocosm of heaven and earth.

To put it simply, starting from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, cultivators can manipulate the power of heaven and earth to fight enemies, and their power is many times greater than relying solely on their own divine power.

This is why, in the original work, geniuses like Yao Guang Sheng Zi and Ji Hao Yue could achieve the Four Extremes Battle Transformation Dragon, but when they were in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, they were basically unable to fight against cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm without the help of external forces such as divine weapons and magic treasures.

"Did it work?"

Upon seeing Lu Chen wake up, Ye Fan immediately went to greet him.

The little girl ran over excitedly, only to be scooped up by Lu Chen.

"I guess it's a success."

The three of them walked out of the bronze coffin together. Lu Chen looked up at the sky and spoke.

From the moment he successfully broke through, Lu Chen felt a kind of pressure from heaven and earth.

That was the aura of a heavenly tribulation.

However, because Lu Chen is currently in this desolate and forbidden land, the heavenly tribulation does not dare to descend for the time being.

"Let's go out, Weiwei and the others must be getting impatient."

Lu Chen spoke slowly.

Yesterday, I spent half the night traveling and picking the sacred fruit, and another half the night breaking through. Now it's already the morning of the second day.

"good!"

Ye Fan nodded in response with a smile.

Ye Fan gained a lot from this trip into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Most importantly, he didn't encounter any danger throughout the entire journey, which was truly amazing.

Just as Lu Chen and Ye Fan were walking towards the outside of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, they were unaware that in the abyss behind them, a figure with chaotic energy flowing around him was silently watching them.

However, only for a moment, the figure's eyes became cloudy and unfocused again.

Traveling at full speed, Lu Chen and his group soon arrived at the edge of the desolate ancient forbidden land. Further ahead lay the outer area.

The thunderclouds in the sky had been brewing for a long time, and streaks of purple lightning snaked and flickered within the dark clouds.

"Ye Zi, take Nannan and go meet them first. My tribulation is coming."

Lu Chen pointed up and said.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ye Fan was immediately taken aback.

Only now did he realize that breaking through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm required undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation.

No wonder Ye Fan also felt a sense of oppression; it turned out that Lu Chen's tribulation was about to begin.

"Go Chen Ge! I believe in you!"

Ye Fan took the little girl, clenched his fist at Lu Chen, and then quickly ran forward with the little girl.

Although Ye Fan had not experienced the Heavenly Tribulation, he knew he couldn't cause trouble for Lu Chen.

As Lu Chen stepped out of the forbidden area, a bolt of purple lightning immediately struck down from the sky, heading straight for him.

It seems they've been waiting impatiently for a long time.

Weiwei and Elder Yunxia, ​​who were still waiting in the outermost area, also noticed the dazzling purple lightning.

"Is this... a heavenly tribulation?"

"Is someone undergoing a heavenly tribulation here?"

Elder Yunxia spoke with a look of shock.

"Could it be my junior brother?"

Weiwei immediately speculated with some concern.

The two then flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Tribulation, and soon encountered Ye Fan, who was carrying a little girl.

"Sister-in-law, Senior Yunxia!"

Ye Fan greeted the two of them.

However, both Weiwei and Elder Yunxia were now focused on Lu Chen, who was not far away.

"Breaking through the four extremes can attract a heavenly tribulation. In the history of our Yaochi Holy Land, there has only been one person who has experienced this."

"It seems the Holy Son's talent is even more astonishing than we imagined!"

Elder Yunxia spoke with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Weiwei didn't speak, but silently prayed for Lu Chen in her heart.

On Lu Chen's side.

Faced with the first bolt of lightning descending from the sky, Lu Chen stood still, motionless.

Lu Chen also wanted to experience the strength of his current physical body.

After undergoing so many physical transformations, Lu Chen only knew that his physical strength had already reached an exaggerated level, but whether it could compare to a Saint Body of the same realm, Lu Chen was not sure.

After all, Ye Fan's current strength is too weak, so even if Lu Chen wanted to test him, he couldn't.

This is a good opportunity to test things out during the heavenly tribulation.

"boom!"

The purple lightning struck Lu Chen heavily, and then—that was it.

Lu Chen felt a tingling, numb sensation, like he was getting a massage. It was quite comfortable, and Lu Chen couldn't help but stretch.

It seemed that Ping was enraged by Lu Chen's attitude. The second heavenly tribulation paused slightly, and when it descended, it had already...

It was no longer a single bolt of lightning, but a purple sea of ​​lightning.

"Good heavens!"

"Is this how you treat that Ye Fan?"

Seeing this sea of ​​lightning, Lu Chen mentally complained a little, but he was no longer afraid.

After being tested by that bolt of lightning, Lu Chen now has a general understanding of the strength of his physical body.

Despite being enveloped by the purple sea of ​​lightning, Lu Chen wore an expression of blissful relaxation, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

However, Lu Chen seemed to be enjoying himself as if he were on vacation, but Elder Yunxia and the others watching from afar were startled by this scene.

"How could the intensity of this heavenly tribulation be so high?"

"Is it rumored that those with innate Dao embryos are not born with a natural affinity for the Great Dao, and therefore their Heavenly Tribulation is generally weaker than that of other physiques?"

"And when did the physical body of a primordial Dao embryo become so powerful?"

Looking at the scene before her, Elder Yunxia also felt a sense of doubt.

In her understanding, those born with innate Dao fetuses are naturally close to the Dao and have a great advantage in comprehending the Great Dao, but they should be weak in terms of physical strength.

But judging from Lu Chen's performance at this moment, this is hardly a weakness. The physical strength that Lu Chen has shown is probably even inferior to that of Elder Yunxia herself.

Despite being bathed in a sea of ​​lightning, Lu Chen was not greatly harmed by the surging lightning tide.

Actually, it wasn't that there was no damage at all; it's just that Lu Chen's physical body, after being baptized by the Nine Wonders Sacred Fruit and the Creation Lotus Seed within his body, possessed extremely strong recovery capabilities.

Basically, these injuries heal themselves the moment they occur.

This made Lu Chen imagine how exaggerated his physical recovery ability would be if he obtained the "Secret of the Character Zhe" in the future.

And in this constant cycle of destruction and repair, Lu Chen's physical strength has increased slightly.

After a while, when he realized that the tempering effect of the sea of ​​lightning on his body was no longer obvious, Lu Chen directly used his cultivation technique to absorb the energy in the sea of ​​lightning into his body.

Lu Chen's physical body had already been tempered to the point of being identical inside and out, so these lightning energies could not cause any trouble in Lu Chen's body. They could only be obediently refined into pure energy and replenished into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The heavenly tribulation above seemed to be enraged by Lu Chen, and with a tremendous roar, nine violent bolts of lightning, entwined with chaotic energy, descended in succession.

"What? There are still more?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Elder Yunxia, ​​who was standing some distance away, instantly showed a look of panic on her face.

"This is the legendary Chaos Thunder!"

"Senior, what is Chaos Thunder?"

Seeing the change in Elder Yunxia's expression, Ye Fan quickly asked.

Legend has it that before forging sacred weapons, ancient emperors would baptize the artifacts with endless chaotic thunder!

Elder Yunxia stared intently at Lu Chen, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Weiwei, Ye Fan, and Xiao Nannan all had worried expressions on their faces.

However, they all knew that the Heavenly Tribulation was something that could only be overcome by themselves, and no one else could interfere.

Feeling the power of the chaotic thunder, Lu Chen's expression became slightly more serious.

The next moment, the first bolt of chaotic lightning struck Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was cleaved open for the first time, his skin torn and bleeding profusely.

However, thanks to its terrifying regenerative abilities, these injuries were healed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Chen also sensed that while his injuries were healing, some unabsorbed sacred fruit medicine was hidden within his body.

Some of his strength was also integrated into his physical body, which further enhanced his physical strength.

"That's powerful enough, more—"

Lu Chen looked up at the heavenly tribulation and spoke.

But before he could finish speaking, a second bolt of chaotic lightning struck down on him.

"boom!"

This attack was even more powerful than the previous one, and Lu Chen's body was cleaved open with several huge wounds.

"boom!"

The third bolt of chaotic lightning followed closely behind, giving Lu Chen no chance to catch his breath.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Five more chaotic lightning bolts struck down in succession, nearly shattering Lu Chen's body into pieces. His jade-like white bones broke apart one by one, and his purplish-gold blood splattered all over the ground.

However, Lu Chen still had an excited smile on his face, because he could feel that his physical strength had risen to another level under the tempering of the chaotic lightning.

"boom!"

As the last, incredibly thick bolt of chaotic lightning struck Lu Chen, he seemed to be reduced to a charred corpse.

Seeing this, just as Ye Fan and Weiwei were about to run over, the charcoal suddenly cracked open, revealing its shimmering, crystalline interior.

After being tempered by this final burst of chaotic lightning, Lu Chen successfully completed another complete transformation.

However, his clothes had already turned into air, so Lu Chen quickly found another piece to wear and then began to refine the chaotic energy carried by the nine bolts of lightning.

As the nine streams of chaotic energy were devoured and refined by the Chaotic Green Lotus in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, Lu Chen sensed that the grade of the Chaotic Green Lotus seemed to have increased considerably.

Meanwhile, the heavenly tribulation above was already brewing its next offensive.

"boom!"

Another wave of lightning descended, but this time it wasn't a sea of ​​lightning. Instead, it was nine humanoid phantoms wrapped in electric sparks, exuding a terrifying aura like nine deities.

"What is this?"

Ye Fan stared in astonishment, his eyes wide, and spoke.

"This is a human-shaped lightning bolt formed from interwoven thunder, a terrifying calamity recorded in ancient texts."

Elder Yunxia began to explain.

Elder Yunxia had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Chen successfully withstand the chaotic lightning, but now her heart was in her throat again.

Just then, the first humanoid lightning bolt attacked Lu Chen.

As the humanoid lightning struck, Lu Chen felt a heavy divine might descend from the sky.

This divine might wasn't directed at anything else, but specifically at Lu Chen's divine sense.

Fortunately, Lu Chen's divine sense had also been tempered and enhanced by the Nine Wonders Sacred Fruit, and its resilience far exceeded expectations.

Seeing the humanoid lightning bolt coming towards him, Lu Chen went straight to meet it, raised his hand and threw a powerful punch, shattering the humanoid lightning bolt into a ball of pure lightning energy, which he then grabbed and swallowed.
