Chapter 94: The Phantom in the Thunder Tribulation, Imperial Seal

Chen Daoxuan, shrouded in the thunder tribulation, sounded unexpectedly refreshed. As the thunderbolts struck him, not only did he feel no pain, but a tingling sensation also spread, nearly causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

"Damn it, if I had known that thunder tribulations were so comfortable, I shouldn't have destroyed the last one!"

Chen Daoxuan recalled the thunder tribulation he had obliterated the previous time and was filled with regret.

When the brilliance faded, Chen Daoxuan's figure reappeared, his hands behind his back and a contented expression on his face. Not a single hair on his body seemed to be out of place. Even his hairstyle remained intact, except for the occasional flicker of electricity…

"This…"

Leng Yanran was dumbfounded, Li Yourong was astounded, and Chi Yun's jaw dropped to the ground. This thunder tribulation seemed quite different from what they had understood…

"Don't be distracted. Observe the Heavenly Tribulation carefully; it will be beneficial for your future cultivation. Besides, don't be so surprised. Everyone's physique is different. Heavenly Tribulations cannot harm me; this is quite normal."

Seeing his disciples lost in amazement, Chen Daoxuan reminded them with a slight smile.

"Physique, everyone has different physiques…"

The onlookers were numb, as if the earlier thunder tribulation wasn't aimed at Chen Daoxuan, but at them. Nevertheless, with Leng Yanran and Li Yourong having been reassured by their Master, they now focused intently on the heavenly tribulation.

To observe a mighty individual crossing a tribulation was an incredible opportunity, one that might not occur even once in this world for thousands of years!

Seemingly sensing Chen Daoxuan's disregard, the tribulation clouds rumbled once more, and a second thunder tribulation descended.

This time, the second thunderbolt was even thicker, nearly the size of a water barrel. Even a true cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm might find it daunting. After all, common thunder tribulations usually began as thin as a thumb.

Unlike others, the Heavenly Thunder was the most fierce and yang energy between heaven and earth, its might truly terrifying!

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Thunder descended once again, enveloping Chen Daoxuan.

"Um… Come on, come on! Others might think I, Chen Daoxuan, can't afford a Heavenly Tribulation!"

After a moment of delight, the slightly numbing sensation quickly dissipated. Anxious, Chen Daoxuan pointed at the tribulation clouds and urged them on.

Seeing this scene, the three bystanders' eyelids twitched rapidly. Indeed, he was their Master!

"Anomaly, you should not exist in this realm. Turn to dust."

What astonished everyone even more was that a genderless voice emanated from within the tribulation clouds!

Even Chen Daoxuan was taken aback upon hearing this voice. Thunder tribulations could talk?

Amid the shocked expressions of the onlookers, the tribulation clouds suddenly contracted and churned. All the Heavenly Thunder within slowly coalesced into a figure.

This figure was entirely composed of blue-purple Heavenly Thunder, with electricity coursing through its body. It wielded a massive hammer.

"The Heavenly Tribulation has taken form?"

Chen Daoxuan was somewhat amazed by this sight, not expecting such a miraculous transformation of the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, he wasn't concerned. In the realm of the Heavenly Hall, he needn't worry about any Heavenly Tribulation's transformation. Even if the Heavenly Rules of this world were to appear, they'd have to bow before him!

"Die…"

The figure condensed by the Heavenly Tribulation had a voice devoid of emotion, raising its hand and smashing it down. The sky was suddenly filled with thunder tribulations, hurtling toward the people before the Heavenly Hall.

This strike encompassed not only Chen Daoxuan but even Leng Yanran and the others.

As an entity formed by the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation, in its eyes, the Heavenly Dao Hall, Chen Daoxuan, and even Leng Yanran and Li Shenruo—people related to Chen Daoxuan—and even the Enlightenment Tea Tree, should not exist in this world. All were anomalies that needed to be erased.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure of the thunder tribulations, everyone besides Chen Daoxuan was nearly shaken to the point of vomiting blood. Fortunately, Chen Daoxuan gestured with a wave of his hand.

"Disperse."

Softly murmuring, the surging thunder tribulations instantly dissipated into nothingness.

Chen Daoxuan then turned his gaze back to the figure, eager to witness its capabilities.

"Anomaly, you're powerful, but you will eventually turn to ashes before the laws of the Heavenly Dao."

The lightning figure seemed slightly taken aback by Chen Daoxuan's reaction, but it swiftly continued, declaring the impending doom awaiting him.

Under the astonished gazes of onlookers, the figure charged directly at Chen Daoxuan!

Having been shaped by the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation, it plummeted down like a falling meteor, a force of destruction toward all living beings. Even if it were to disperse within the heavens and earth, it would inevitably reassemble during the next Heavenly Tribulation.

"Heh, it was a bit difficult at first, but who would have thought you'd come right to my doorstep?"

Seeing the figure approach, Chen Daoxuan's excitement overcame his surprise. His eyes gleamed brightly.

Originally, upon witnessing the figure's formation from the thunder tribulation, he had resolved to find a way to bring it within the range of the Heavenly Dao Hall and subdue it. Unexpectedly, the figure had taken the initiative, essentially delivering itself to him on a silver platter!

Moving at lightning speed, the thunderous figure bore down upon Chen Daoxuan, its imposing pressure causing Leng Yanran and the others to lose consciousness.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan flicked a single hand, instantly relocating everyone into the Heavenly Dao Hall. As for the Enlightenment Tea Tree, it trembled even more intensely, nervously watching the appearance of the thunderous figure.

"Perish, anomaly."

As the thunderous figure closed in to within ten yards of Chen Daoxuan, it muttered softly.

"Bind."

Chen Daoxuan gently opened his mouth and uttered a single word. In an instant, countless chains of rules appeared out of thin air, tightly entwining the thunder tribulation's manifested figure, rendering it utterly immobile.

"What is this...? Anomaly, who exactly are you?"

The lightning phantom panicked as soon as the rule chains appeared, but there was no escape—resistance was futile!

"Perfect, I'll use you to test the new abilities from this Profound Sky Realm."

Chen Daoxuan didn't reply to its question. Instead, with a thought, he hovered in the air, standing before the thunderous figure, engaging in a quiet face-off.

His Profound Sky Realm had granted him an additional talent.

[Profound Sky Realm: Can bestow sentience and life upon spirits and even rules.]

With a pointed finger, Chen Daoxuan tapped the immobilized figure's forehead.

"I, Chen Daoxuan, bestow upon you sentience and life!"

As Chen Daoxuan's words faded, the struggling figure ceased to struggle. Even though its eyes were still composed of Heavenly Thunder, they now held a glimmer of sentience. Although it remained a body of Heavenly Thunder, it had gained a hint of spirituality.

Subsequently, changes began to occur...
