Chapter 1450: Chapter 1421: Strange Heavenly Tribulation

The battles in the Enchanted World of Devil Ruin Mountain left Li Chen deeply enlightened.

After fighting against several Envy Heaven Realm experts, Li Chen finally sensed some opportunities for the Envy Heaven Realm.

He knew that he might not be far from the Envy Heaven Realm, even very close to it.

After three days of closed-door cultivation, Li Chen left Auspicious Clear Town alone and headed into a desolate mountain… He was about to undergo the tribulation.

From Hujin and others, he obtained some information about the tribulation, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the tribulation for the Envy Heaven Realm was somewhat similar to when he had just broken through to the Mid-Heaven Realm.

Li Chen didn’t know what was happening, but he was clear that his combat power exceeded that of his peers by a large margin, and even his True Yuan was much deeper.

This might be due to the changes in his Cultivation Technique by the Taoist Magic. Another strange thing was that his All Attributes consumed a lot of True Yuan.

Some of his ultimate moves could almost exhaust him after just one or two uses. In contrast, normal same-level Heaven-level experts might fight for several days and nights without a problem, but Li Chen would definitely be unable to sustain if the battle didn’t end in a short time, even though his True Yuan was much thicker than his peers.

Li Chen didn’t know if this was a good or bad thing.

“Forget it, take it one step at a time; the most important thing now is to quickly reach the Envy Heaven Realm.” Li Chen sat cross-legged at the top of the desolate mountain, appearing somewhat tense.

After all, undergoing a tribulation is not a trivial matter, one wrong move and he might be struck dead.

“I usually haven’t shown off much, so hopefully, it won’t hit too hard, right?” Muttering a few sentences, Li Chen looked up at the sky.

While muttering, he had already adjusted himself to peak condition; he was about to start his breakthrough.

Once he broke through, he would become an Envy Heaven Realm expert.

Li Chen was very clear that, with his current strength, he had no reason to be arrogant. The secrets he carried were too many, and any one of them being exposed could lead to his death.

Cang Ku had pointed this out before leaving.

Many things on him would become deadly tribulations if exposed.

Li Chen wasn’t aware that many on the Earth Prison Star Continent were already searching for him.

The spiritual energy in the desolate mountains was not rich; it could even be said to be somewhat depleted. This was also the reason why there were no people around.

However, this was not a problem for Li Chen.

Since it concerned his breakthrough, Li Chen came fully prepared.

Before coming, he had already prepared a large number of Spirit Crystals, setting up an extremely luxurious Spirit Gathering Array for a Loose Cultivator at his sitting place.

At the same time, after confirming there were no other Martial Artists around, Li Chen took out the Heavenly Pearls and placed them on his knees.

In no time, the power of the Spirit Gathering Array combined with the two Heavenly Pearls caused spiritual energy to surge towards Li Chen at an insanely fast speed.

The violent spiritual energy rushed out from where Li Chen was sitting, converging into his body.

“Oh crap…”

The spiritual energy was too terrifying, even Li Chen was caught off guard, nearly getting blown away. After exclaiming, he began gathering the spiritual energy, converting it into True Yuan to break through to the Envy Heaven Realm.

“Alright, that’s enough!”

Li Chen’s face turned red from the excessive spiritual energy, realizing he slightly overdid it; the speed at which the spiritual energy was entering his body far exceeded his conversion speed to True Yuan.

“Forget it!”

Suddenly, Li Chen stood up and let out a wild roar towards the sky.

“Roar!!!”

“Boom!”

A muffled sound came from the clouds, and in the next moment, dark clouds began to gather.

Li Chen’s Heavenly Tribulation had arrived.

The speed of the Heavenly Tribulation caught Li Chen off guard, not giving him much time to prepare before a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down.

“Sneak attack again? I &#￥@%”

The lightning appeared so quickly, completely different from what Li Chen had heard from others, like a sneak attack, and Li Chen was charred all over from the strike; he couldn’t help but curse.

No sooner had he been cursing when the second bolt of lightning struck.

“Boom!!”

Li Chen’s expression suddenly changed, and at this moment, he could no longer afford to curse. He quickly began converting the spiritual energy inside his body. His conversion speed wasn’t fast enough, and if he continued like this, he feared his body might explode, prompting him to intentionally trigger the earlier arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Li Chen’s idea was to use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to help refine the spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy was indeed rich, but if Li Chen wanted to destroy it, a single stomp could dismantle the Spirit Gathering Array. But obviously, Li Chen wouldn’t do that, as the Spirit Crystals used to set up the Spirit Gathering Array were painstakingly obtained through frantic Alchemy in Auspicious Clear Town over the past few days.

Also, some were from enemies Li Chen had defeated.

But even though he had gained a substantial amount, setting up such a Spirit Gathering Array consumed almost all of it.

He truly wouldn’t be able to gather enough Spirit Crystals to create another one.

“Rumble…”

While Li Chen was converting True Yuan, a sudden muffled sound came again from the sky.

The previous individual bolts ceased, replaced by a direct downpour of lightning rain.

Of course, it wasn’t actual rain; it was lightning transformed into rain, densely falling on Li Chen.

“Sizzle sizzle…”

A burnt smell emanated from Li Chen’s head to his body.

“What the hell… what kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this?” Li Chen gritted his teeth, beginning his breakthrough.

He felt more and more peculiar.

By now, he really couldn’t figure out what kind of cultivation he was doing. Ever since cultivating according to the altered path of the Taoist Magic, more and more mysterious phenomena appeared on him.

Leaving aside other things, just the Heavenly Tribulation like this he had never heard of before.

Eventually, the Heavenly Tribulation rain solidified into a pillar, enveloping him and falling down.

Li Chen barely lifted his head and found that the Heavenly Tribulation rain column was somewhat tilted.

“Why does it feel like someone is peeing on me?” While suspicion filled his heart, he gritted his teeth again.

It truly hurt, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Finally, the rain stopped.

Li Chen barely lifted his head, once again looking towards the sky as the Heavenly Tribulation clouds slowly dispersed.

“Is it over?” Li Chen felt that his cultivation had indeed broken through to the early Envy Heaven Realm.

“Hmm, I should go back…”

“Boom!”

A massive flash of lightning smashed Li Chen to the ground, catching him off guard and almost costing him half his life.

“Are you done yet?!!”
