Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387: Man-Made Lightning Tribulation

Under such circumstances, Lan Xuanyu attempted to control his strength, his elements, the Annihilation Divine Thunder, and the Light and Dark Divine Thunder. With that sense of comprehension imbued with the laws, things became incomparably easier than before.

It seemed that as long as the aura of those laws existed, no matter how oppositional these elements were to one another, they would not erupt unless he intended to ignite them.

This feeling was truly marvelous. In battle after battle, as he continuously unleashed the Dragon God Energy within him, the power of the Dragon God’s bloodline seemed to naturally absorb the creative and destructive auras from the surrounding air, spontaneously forming a subtle thread of law.

If this was the case, could he attempt something new? This was already the final match. Bai Xiuxiu had more or less rested enough. Even if something went wrong, she was capable of helping him make up for it.

As this thought crossed his mind, he sent Bai Xiuxiu a mental message. Then, his spirit, essence, and energy began to transform entirely.

The time had come, and the match began!

This time, Lan Xuanyu did not charge forward. His opponent, the Eight-Armed Demon God, instead crossed his eight heavy swords in front of his chest at the first moment, brimming with destructive energy and staring warily at Lan Xuanyu.

For even the Eight-Armed Demon God to take up a defensive stance, one could imagine the fear Lan Xuanyu had struck into them.

But Lan Xuanyu ignored all this. Slowly, he raised the Ice Demon Dragon Spear in his hand. Strangely radiant light began to ripple outward from his body.

The seven-colored dragon scales originally covering his body suddenly lost three of their colors, leaving only four: blue, red, green, and yellow.

Fluctuations of these four elements grew intense. In the next instant, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes blazed brightly, his gaze locking directly onto the Eight-Armed Demon God across from him.

The Eight-Armed Demon God shut his eyes in fear. He vividly remembered the scene of his comrade being swiftly killed after those purple-gold beams had shot forth from Lan Xuanyu’s eyes. He definitely did not want to suffer the same fate.

But in the next instant, he was taken aback. No spiritual attack came. Instead, a thunderous rumble suddenly erupted on the Number One Arena.

From the Ice Demon Dragon Spear’s tip, a four-colored bolt of lightning instantly flickered. Then, amidst the violent roar, the four-colored thunderbolt crashed down upon the Eight-Armed Demon God.

“Boom——” The Eight-Armed Demon God was blasted out in an instant, slamming into the arena’s protection cover.

As long as one still had combat strength, the cover would not allow them to fall out of the arena.

The Eight-Armed Demon God twitched violently from the shock, utterly bewildered.

When this thunderbolt appeared, more than half of the top-tier powerhouses in the main viewing stands stood up in astonishment.

What was that?

“Boom——” Another four-colored thunderbolt struck out. The Eight-Armed Demon God desperately wielded his eight heavy swords to block it, only to be blasted away again.

Gasps of disbelief spread through the waiting area near the main viewing stands.

Lightning Tribulation—it was unmistakably the power of a four-colored lightning tribulation. Could the Golden Dragon Princess actually wield the power of lightning tribulation?

Regardless of whether they were human or from the myriad races of the Dragon Horse Star System, all faced the same universal laws during their evolution. Lightning tribulation was no exception.

The lightning tribulation Lan Xuanyu unleashed through the Ice Demon Dragon Spear bore an uncanny resemblance to the lightning tribulation encountered when ascending to godhood, the only difference being its smaller scale.

Lightning tribulation embodied the righteous energies of Heaven and Earth, as well as the laws of Heaven and Earth. As Lan Xuanyu unleashed two strikes of thunder, his body radiated with four-colored halos twice in succession. These were unmistakably the forces of Elemental Stripping.

While releasing the tribulation lightning, Lan Xuanyu’s own body endured a similar force. Yet, through Elemental Stripping, he managed to drastically weaken and neutralize the destructive power of the Annihilation Divine Thunder.

The Annihilation Divine Thunder—now in a form that could be used for remote attacks!

After successfully cultivating the Light and Dark God Thunder Body Refining, Lan Xuanyu had noticed that his body could essentially withstand the destructive might of the Annihilation Divine Thunder. However, guiding and externally releasing this thunder still posed challenges. The power of the lightning tribulation was far too overbearing. Once separated from the body, especially when released explosively rather than in a compressed and stable form, it risked detonation at any moment.

In other words, while Lan Xuanyu could unleash the Annihilation Divine Thunder, it might explode and injure him first. This technique was exceedingly dangerous.

Yet, when he began to grasp the auras of destruction and creation, he discovered an insight into laws. This comprehension brought about subtle changes to his control over the lightning tribulation.

When he released the lightning tribulation from his body, even he wasn’t sure if it would succeed. It was tantamount to risking self-detonation to execute it.

The results, however, proved that his initial understanding was effective. Once the lightning tribulation left his body, his Spiritual Power instinctively gathered and controlled it, maintaining its balance until it landed on the enemy and triggered an explosion.

Of course, as this use of the technique was still in its early stages, it remained somewhat unstable. The range was also limited.

Yet on the arena, it was just right—a perfect application that struck the Eight-Armed Demon God as if he were transcending a tribulation.

This was good, truly excellent! The Annihilation Divine Thunder was practically incapable of harming Lan Xuanyu now. Each four-colored thunderbolt hurled at the opponent struck with unparalleled speed, locked onto its target by an unerring force. The Eight-Armed Demon God was unable to evade, with every thunderstrike detonating waves of destructive energy and releasing plumes of dark purple mist from his body. Forget launching an attack; even defending was utterly futile.

With each strike of the Ice Demon Dragon Spear, the streaking thunderbolts emanated an earth-shattering presence. Even the skies above seemed to echo faint, low thunder that resonated with the scene below.

Witnessing this, Li Menglong and Xing Haotian, among the audience, were pale as ash. Was this really a dragon? A member of the Dragon Clan? Since when did the Dragon Clan master the power of tribulations? This was too terrifying. The laws contained within the lightning tribulation filled even them with dread. Although the lightning tribulation they might face in their future ascensions would undoubtedly be more powerful, that was the Heavenly Tribulation, the manifestation of Heaven and Earth’s laws! When had the power of Heaven and Earth’s laws become something the Dragon Clan could wield?

In the main viewing stands, the super-powerhouses exchanged silent looks. Even the two Dragon Knights hadn’t anticipated such a development. For a moment, they were at a loss for words.

Zhong Zhichang and Huang Liangwei exchanged glances, seeing caution in each other’s eyes. This caution, of course, wasn’t directed at Lan Xuanyu, but rather towards some of those present around them.

The ability to wield lightning tribulation as an attack instantly elevated Lan Xuanyu’s stature within the Dragon Clan to unprecedented levels. This further proved the overwhelming strength of her bloodline, marking her as capable of leading the Dragon Clan into a new evolution. She genuinely stood a chance of surpassing the Sky Dragon Leader in the future.

For the Dragon Clan, this was of immeasurable significance. Were it not for the importance of the Dragon Horse Star System’s unified development conference necessitating the ongoing exchange event, they would have taken Lan back immediately.

After this event, Lan was certain to receive the full focus of the Sky Dragon Assembly’s nurturing. All resources would be funneled to her, likely granting her treatment on par with a Dragon Knight, all to aid her path to godhood.

Yet, as Zhong Zhichang pondered this, an odd feeling crept over him. What could the Sky Dragon Assembly offer her for support? Beyond access to the Dragon Realm, their greatest asset was the Heaven-Born Crystal Stones. And now, she had already obtained so many of these stones from the Rising Star Tournament. Did she really even need the Sky Dragon Assembly’s offerings?
