Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 915 - Five Elements Lightning Tribulation

The tribulation was like a heavy downpour of lightning. And before long, everything was submerged in this ocean of lightning.

The air in the surroundings vaporized, forming a vacuum. The resulting drop in air pressure caused nearby air to rush in like a flood, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

The lightning struck Chen Fan, sending wisps of green smoke rising from him. From a distance, he was almost invisible, shrouded by the swirling smoke.

Any one of these lightning bolts could easily kill a peak Heavenly Star realm expert, yet they barely seemed to faze Chen Fan. The strikes failed to pierce his defenses, and he remained unmoved, unshaken.

However, he knew that this was just the beginning; these lightning strikes were mere appetizers.

He began channeling the Hegemonic Mantra, absorbing the lightning bolts non-stop.

Progress on his Hegemonic Golden Body, which had been painstakingly slow, finally accelerated.

Though still gradual, it was now advancing ten, twenty times faster than before, slowly inching forward toward level 21 Hegemonic Golden Body.

The majestic heavenly might was still sweeping wildly, constantly climbing higher.

Even the demonic experts who had retreated far from the tribulation's range paled in fear.

Although not within the range of the heavenly tribulation, they could sense the terrifying heavenly might. And what they felt was enough to tell them that it was one terrifying tribulation.

If they had to face this heavenly tribulation, their death was almost certain.

No matter what the crowd thought, the heavenly tribulation continued to grow stronger. The roiling clouds above radiated a vast and powerful heavenly might.

Chen Fan raised his head and looked to the sky. He had expected his tribulation to be unusually terrifying and was actually looking forward to it very much.

Advancing his Hegemonic Golden Body had become increasingly difficult—he had been stuck at the same bottleneck for far too long.

For the others, a heavenly tribulation was a calamity, but it was an opportunity for him. He could use its energy to quickly push his Hegemonic Golden Body to a higher level.

Come! Hit me with everything you’ve got! Chen Fan roared in his heart.

As if answering his challenge, the heavens responded. The tribulation clouds churned wildly. Savage and terrifying lightning dragons tumbled, their crackling roars echoing through the sky.

Boom, crack!

It was as if the heavens had split apart. Massive lightning bolts, thick as water buckets, flew down from the tribulation clouds, wanting to devour Chen Fan.

Chen Fan laughed out loud and opened his arms wide, allowing the lightning dragons to strike him, transforming himself into a being of pure lightning.

Hiss, hiss.

The sound of sharp intakes of breath rippled through the onlookers.

They watched as Chen Fan withstood the terrifying lightning tribulation with his physique. Their eyes flickered with astonishment.

“What kind of lunatic is he? My god, he’s welcoming the heavenly tribulation with open arms! You are supposed to run from them, you idiot! Madness! Pure madness!”

“I-is the norm in the Tianwu Continent? Do all of their martial artists undergo their heavenly tribulation like this?!”

“No, that’s impossible. He must be a madman!”

The demonic cultivators watching Chen Fan could not hide the unease in their gazes.

A madman was frightening, but a madman with unparalleled strength was utterly terrifying.

While they didn’t know his strength, his choice to face the heavenly tribulation head-on, with no thought of retreat or hiding, gave them a glimpse into his strength.

Suddenly, human silhouettes emerged within the tribulation clouds, accompanied by the deafening cries of battle.

Moments later, an army of lightning figures assembled in perfect formation within the clouds.

Even the weakest among these lightning men radiated the aura of a peak Heavenly Star realm expert, and many in their ranks exuded Manifestation realm might.

The lightning-man army could shock the world and sweep through any force.

Such a terrifying army swept down from the sky. Looking from afar, it was like an unusually terrifying celestial army.

With the appearance of the lightning-man army, the lightning snakes flooding the sky disappeared to become weapons of the lightning men.

All sorts of weapons rained down like a storm in an instant.

With a sweeping motion, Chen Fan unleashed an enormous palm strike. The strike obliterated the incoming lightning weapons, reducing them into masses of energy that he absorbed.

His Hegemonic Body Mantra tamed the berserk energies that entered him, converting them into nourishment. His blood, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes were tempered and refined, his physique growing ever stronger.

Though the improvements were minuscule, almost imperceptible, Chen Fan knew this was merely the beginning. The true trial of the heavenly tribulation had only just begun.

The sky rained down an unending barrage of lightning weapons. Their sharp hum echoed as they struck Chen Fan, producing the sound of clashing metals. Yet, the attacks barely fazed him, only releasing faint bursts of green smoke before dissipating entirely,

Chen Fan gradually refined and absorbed the weapons’ energies, aiding his Hegemonic Golden Body in marching toward level 21.

Soon, his physique had reached the peak of level 20.

It was extremely close, needing just a sliver more—the final push to break through to the next level.

The heavenly tribulation’s relentless energy provided the spark.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Amid lightning flashes, the sound of Chen Fan’s bones resonated like thunderclaps, reverberating as though they were being reforged. His muscles were also metamorphosing, surging toward an unimaginable pinnacle.

Hegemonic Golden Body, level 21!

“Hahahaha, excellent. How refreshing! Harder! This is not enough, far from enough. It’s not even enough to scratch my itch!” Chen Fan laughed maniacally and sent a palm strike into the sky.

Rumble!

Chen Fan’s actions seemed to have provoked the heavenly might.

In an instant, the tribulation surged with unmatched fury. The ranks of lightning men, which had been silently waiting, roared to life.

Like a celestial flood, they descended in unison.

As if sentient, they executed all sorts of different martial arts with tremendous power, aiming to annihilate the man who dared to challenge the dignity of the Heavenly Dao.

However, Chen Fan’s strength had long surpassed the boundaries of normalcy. Those attacks which could heavily injure or even kill second or third-level Manifestation realm experts did not pose a threat to him.

With a single sweep of his palm, he shattered scores of lightning men, their glowing forms disintegrating into motes of energy that he promptly absorbed.

Boom, boom, boom!

One after another, the celestial army of lightning men fell to Chen Fan’s relentless onslaught. Each explosion of energy only served to strengthen his physique further.

His Hegemonic Golden Body was no longer merely advancing toward level 22—it seemed destined to reach level 23 or perhaps even higher.

“Holy mother of god, he’s a monster. He’s actually absorbing the heavenly tribulation’s energy to temper his flesh. He’s a mix of a monster and a madman. How could he dare to do this?”

The crowd shivered as they watched, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.

The powerful lightning-man army seemed helpless against Chen Fan. The heavenly might grew completely furious.

Right at this time, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to change, becoming colorful.

Five distinct hues intertwined in the sky, radiating an unearthly brilliance. Next, five thunderclaps echoed in perfect harmony, shaking the heavens and earth.

“Five Elements Lightning Tribulation!” The nearby demonic cultivators were so scared their souls nearly left them.
