Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Fang Lan's eyes flashed with excitement as he was looking at the tribulation cloud in the sky. He has been waiting for this day for so long.

The day where he could fight side by side with the young master and the others. The day where he could actually fight in the frontline rather than the back.

Meanwhile, Ling Wei was flying around and paying attention to everything around. He knew how sneaky and annoying these demon beasts were. As such, he was on high alert and making sure that none of them came near Fang Lan to cause trouble no matter what.

How powerful was the 1st heavenly tribulation of a Martial Saint powerhouse? Fang Lan had no idea. He only knew that people of different power levels would experience different heavenly tribulations.

Since he was much more powerful than ordinary 1st Tribulation Martial Saint, his 1st heavenly tribulation would surely be strong.

Furthermore, Fang Lan has never seen anyone passed a Heavenly tribulation before. However, he knew that the 1st tribulation Martial Saint would only get one strike of Thunderbolt while a 2nd tribulation Martial would get two and so on.

Even though it was only one strike, it wasn't a regular lightning strike.

It wasn't something that an ordinary Martial Saint could handle head-on without any defensive weapons or treasures. Many Martial Saints failed to pass that single lightning strike.

Nonetheless, Fang Lan was confident he could pass it. He has seen Ling Lei and the others went through worst. They've never gone through heavenly tribulation but instead Heavenly punishment which was much worst. It was as if the Heavens itself was trying to annihilate them.

Rumble!

Suddenly, like the hammer of the thunder god, a white thunderbolt shot straight down extremely fast from the sky.

"Come now!" Fang Lan laughed and bravely braced himself against the white thunderbolt.

That single white thunderbolt was as thick and as long as an ancient pine tree. It also contained enough power to render any powerful warrior to ashes.

The white thunderbolt struck at Fang Lan's head furiously as though it was trying to destroy him. Meanwhile, He unexpectedly stood still while looking at the white thunderbolt coming straight at him with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Boom!

With a deafening blast, the white thunderbolt heavily struck upon his body. At the same time, his body was completely covered by numerous white arcs of lightning like a cloak.

"Hahaha! Here I thought it was going to hurt. That damn thunderbolt felt more like a mosquito bite." Shouted Fang Lan at the sky after passing the 1st tribulation.

He didn't even use any treasure or his true Qi energy but rather used his powerful draconic body to take on the thunderbolt.

With his powerful body that was even harder than steel, Fang Lan wasn't afraid of a little white thunderbolt the least bit.

While Fang Lan was celebrating the fact that he had easily passed the first tribulation and officially became a 1st tribulation Martial Saint, he suddenly stopped and his face became serious because he realized that even after he had passed 1st Heavenly tribulation, the tribulation cloud didn't disappear.

"Rumble!" Instead, the heavenly tribulation cloud grew stronger and larger as a golden brilliance permeated like sun rays, strangely emitting some light to the otherwise dark sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!" The arcs of lightning flashed into the dark cloudy sky again and again as the thunder and lightning bolts grew stronger, ready to turn this world into ashes.

"Ohh shit! I thought it was supposed to be one strike. How come there's more." Blurted out Fang Lan as he was looking at the sky with a serious expression on his face.

Suddenly, the dark sky looked like a dam that has been broken as countless golden lightning bolts rain down on Fang Lan like it was judgment's day.

The magnificent bolts of lightning looked like a golden ocean pouring down while trying to drown Fang Lan along with everything near him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The area nearby got penetrated instantly as dozens of gigantic trees exploded into smithereens. There were even a few dozens of large pits on the ground where the lightning bolts have fallen.

After taking the full onslaught of the ocean of golden Lightning bolts, Fang Lan's draconic body was riddled with holes with blood gushing out of them.

It was as if his body has turned into a sieve. One could even see the other side through the bloody gaping holes in his body.

At the same time, a burning smell could be found emanating from his body. It seemed as if he had reached his limit

Seeing the damage taken by Fang Lan, Ling Wei became worried as he quickly flew towards him while asking: " Brother Fang Lan, are you ok?"

"It seems like you are facing a Heavenly Punishment instead of a Heavenly Tribulation. I'm coming to help you." He added.

"I'm fine and stay away. Trust me, I got this."Fang Lan said in quivering voice while he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He clutched onto his chest with his right hand as if he was trying to stop the blood from gushing out the bloody hole in his chest.

The reason Fang Lan stopped Ling Wei from helping him was that he felt a terrifying power that was sleeping deep within his blood was about to awaken as he was in that life and death situation.

As such, he wanted to risk it all and faced the heavenly punishment alone to see if he could awaken that power. It had the nagging feeling that If he didn't awaken this power today with the help of the Heavenly Punishment, then it might take a very long time before he got that chance again.

Meanwhile, the tribulation cloud continued to roll nonstop in the sky. Obviously, it was charging to launch its third attacks.

"Bring it." Yelled out Fang Lan as he was looking at the sky with a hint of madness in his eyes. The True Qi energy in his body immediately surged forth. In an instant, his body was radiating a black light. A black True Qi energy that looked a black flame suddenly covered his entire body at once, forming a protective energy cover.

"Rumble!" As if it was waiting for Fang Lan to put his last-ditch of struggles, the Heavenly punishment sent out a dazzling tsunami of golden Lightning bolts to drown him and annihilate him at once.

The ocean of golden Lightning bolts crazily struck Fang Lan, resulting in deafening explosions.

At the same time, the protective barrier made by the dark True Qi energy started to crack until it broke apart like porcelain as it was unable to withstand the might of the Heavenly Punishment.

Now that he was defenseless, each strike of thunderbolt made Fang Lan's blood-splattered and created terrible holes through his flesh and bones. However, he was still alive instead of being rendered to ashes as others would.

Ling Wei took a deep breath while observing this brutal scene. Although he didn't agree with Fang Lan's choice to face the Heavenly punishment alone, he still respected his choice and didn't go to help him.

At the same time, he started to respect and acknowledged Fang Lan as a real man and a true warrior, just like himself.

He had gone through the Heavenly punishment before. As such, he knew how horrifying it was. Not many people could withstand such a terrifying Heavenly Punishment.

Soon, Fang Lan was brought to his knees by the torrential golden lightning bolts that continued to crazily strike him, causing his blood and fleshy bits to fall on the ground. At this moment, Fang Lan was on his last breath.

All of his flesh had cracked apart, and the glistening white bones of his arms, legs, and chest were revealed. One could even count his ribs. There were also bones that were dislocated from the pressure.

After his flesh reached such an appearance, his meridians and blood vessels also became tattered. His organs were almost squashed into mush, becoming a pile of messy goo.

This sort of condition could have been described as a sure death

If a normal Martial Saint were to look like Fang Lan now then they would have already completely died!

Seeing this scene, Ling Wei didn't care anymore as he rushed towards Fang Lan in order to help him. However, before he could make it close to Fang Lan

"Arrrgghhhh!!!" Fang Lan suddenly let out a painful cry as he was trying to hold on and used all of his strength to resist the golden thunderbolts. And in a matter of seconds, his cry in pain deepened gradually into a dragon's roar.

The sonorous and thunderous dragon's roar could be heard from very far away. All the demon beasts in the hundred miles radius were able to hear it loud and clear. At the same time, they all simultaneously turned to look at the direction where that powerful roar came from in fear.

Some of them even prostrated on the ground in fear towards the direction of that roar, seemingly greeting the arrival of their king.

Even Ling Wei was surprised by that powerful roar. However, the next scene astounded him even more.

Boundless True Qi energy and Demonic True Qi energy gathered from all directions and rushed towards Fang Lan's body like a magnet.

In the next moment, his wounds began to stitch back together, with fresh flesh rapidly regenerating at a rate visible to the eye. His flesh glistened and shined, like translucent red crystal!

Boom!

A mighty force and a majestic aura exploded forth from his body. It was if something that had been sleeping deep within him has awakened.

At the same time, his bloody body started to expand immensely at an increasing rate until he transformed into a giant black dragon.

Witnessing this scene, Ling Wei was astounded. The scene happening in front of him had imprinted itself deep into his mind, forever unable to be erased.

The giant black dragon in front of him was stark black from top to bottom - from its scales to claws. The kind of black that had been the result of blending countless shades of red.

It was at least 200 feet long. His body was covered in gleaming black scales and his claws a set of razor-sharp gemstones black as the darkest night. It had four muscular legs looking just like four pillars.

The black Dragon's mouth was facing Ling Wei who could see clearly its lizard-like mouth. At the front of its mouth were two incredibly sharp teeth sticking out, both of which were about one or two feet long.

The black dragon had a pair of horns that was was about four feet long. On its back were two black bat-like wings and behind it was a conical tail that was at least thirty feet long. Two rows of spikes grew out menacingly from his skull all the way to the tip of his tail.

With a slight movement, he banged his claws against the ground, and a metallic sound rang out. At the same time, it let off small shockwaves in the air.

The gigantic black dragon inclined his head, staring at the Heavenly punishment cloud in the sky with a bone-chilling coldness in its eyes.

It exuded a draconic presence, looking like a dignified ruler without needing to resort to intimidation

Roar!!!!! With a powerful roar, a terrible black flame burst out from his mouth, piercing straight through to the sky like a black pillar, breaking apart the Heavenly punishment cloud.

The shockwaves from its roar had a devastating and corrosive nature, instantly destroying all the incoming lighting bolts.

Soon, the sky regained its color as the Heavenly punishment cloud disappeared.

"Although you've helped me greatly, you also almost kill me." Blurted out the giant black dragon with an immeasurable coldness in his voice.
