Chapter 6048 Let’s Go Together
“What are you doing?! Do you think this is the time for something like that?” the palace master exclaimed.
Seeing Long Chen rush out, the palace master hastily chased after him.
“Look at how rough their tribulation is! I’m just going to give them a quick hand—I’ll be back in a flash,” responded Long Chen.
“Help them?”
The palace master was speechless. Was Long Chen really such a good Samaritan? But since he had already gone, the palace master followed.
Up ahead, a group of over thirty Sovereign sprouts from the devil race was undergoing tribulation. Their lightning tribulation had just begun, and the thunderclouds were still gathering strength.
Now that the spiritual qi of the nine heavens had recovered and the world’s laws were complete again, this was the optimal time to undergo tribulation. Even more fortunate, the world seemed to be blessing these cultivators instead of testing them. The tribulations were shockingly mild.
In fact, it had become common for groups to transcend together, especially Sovereign sprouts—beings condensed from the world’s karmic luck. Even dozens of them facing tribulation didn’t result in divine punishment.
Outside the tribulation field stood three Sovereign Lords and numerous devil race experts, all acting as guardians.
Though the thunderclouds roared, there wasn’t the slightest killing intent—no trace of annihilation. This was the gentlest tribulation imaginable.
“As expected, the legends were true. With the world restored, the nine heavens’ laws are granting blessings instead of bringing calamity,” sighed one of the Sovereign Lords in relief.
“Come, warriors of the devil race! Absorb this tribulation energy and rise to the Human Emperor realm!” shouted another expert, rousing morale.
The Sovereign sprouts roared in confidence.
But just as they prepared to pass through this easy trial, a sudden change struck. A massive vortex formed in the sky and sucked up all the lightning in an instant.
“What?!”
The devil experts were all stunned. When the lightning vanished, a black-robed man appeared in the sky. Behind him coiled a dragon made of lightning.
It was Lei Linger. She had devoured the entire tribulation in one gulp.
“How was it?” asked Long Chen.
“Easy.”
Lei Linger almost instantly devoured this lightning, as if her body were a bottomless pit.
The tribulation lightning of over thirty Sovereign sprouts was instantly absorbed. Long Chen had come here specifically to test her power.
“Bastard, return our tribulation!”
Those devil Sovereign sprouts panicked and charged at Long Chen.
The devil Sovereign Lords also moved. They didn’t know what had happened, but they knew if there was no heavenly tribulation, their juniors would be crippled.
Suddenly, Lei Linger opened her mouth and spat out a sphere of lightning.
BOOM!
The sphere exploded violently. Unlike before, this lightning wasn’t gentle—it was filled with raw destruction, instantly annihilating the devil Sovereign sprouts and Sovereign Lords.
“Incredible!” Long Chen was gobsmacked. Lei Linger had actually grown this powerful.
What shocked him wasn’t just the destructive force, but how tightly condensed the power had been. It detonated so fast that the enemies had no time to react.
“Big Brother is growing stronger. How could I, your little sister, fall behind? Just like Huo Linger, I’ve been studying your Infinity-One Technique,” Lei Linger said sweetly.
Long Chen was moved. Huo Linger and Lei Linger could really stand on their own two feet now. In the battle against Ba Ta, it would have been overkill for them to go all-out. Their power was truly monstrous.
Moreover, they had begun hiding their trump cards, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal them. They wanted to surprise him, just like he often did with others.
If Lei Linger could easily devour the tribulation of Sovereign sprouts, there was no need to slowly let her get used to his tribulation. She was more than ready.
Long Chen returned to the palace master, leaving behind a stunned army of devil experts. With their Sovereign Lords and sprouts wiped out, they were too shocked to even react.
It was a long while before furious curses filled the air. But by then, all they could do was flee and seek shelter with other devil tribes.
When Long Chen returned to the Nine Peak Dragon Domain, the Dragonblood Legion and the heavenly geniuses of the dragon race were already waiting for him.
The moment he appeared, they erupted with excitement. Their eyes burned with eagerness—they were ready to face their tribulations and ascend to new heights.
“Palace master, there are quite a few eyes watching this place...” Long Chen said.
As soon as he returned, he sensed odd fluctuations—someone was spying on them. Moreover, it wasn’t only one group.
However, this aura was extremely ephemeral. If not for his keen perception, even he would have missed it. He couldn’t locate them precisely, but there were two possibilities:
Either the enemy had set up special surveillance formations, or the ones watching them were immensely powerful, possibly third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords.
Regardless of which it was, their intent wasn’t friendly.
“Don’t worry. Just focus on your tribulation. Leave the rest to me,” said the palace master with a calm smile, patting the High Firmament Divine Sword on his back.
Long Chen nodded and didn’t press further.
By now, the Nine Peak Dragon Domain’s elder experts had fully mobilized their defenses. Every Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had been activated.
No one dared to treat the upcoming tribulation lightly.
Di Fengqing was already standing guard within the silver Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. His preparations were complete.
Long Chen had already told Di Fengqing that during their tribulation, enemies would try to stop them. If they weren’t careful, the Nine Peak Dragon Domain could be annihilated.
Just in case, Long Chen had even called in reinforcements—a clear sign that he didn’t believe the Nine Peak Dragon Domain’s strength was enough.
That was quite the blow to Di Fengqing. In response, he placed the entire Dragon Domain on maximum alert. He was determined to see who would dare challenge his domain.
“Boss, what’s the plan?” asked Guo Ran.
Long Chen looked over the dragon race disciples, all neatly organized by strength. They had followed his instructions to the letter.
They would undergo tribulation in batches, from weakest to strongest.
With a grin, Long Chen replied, “Same old rules—let’s go together.”
“Alright!”
Guo Ran directly transmitted the word.
All the young dragon disciples shouted excitedly upon hearing they were going to undergo their tribulations with the Dragonblood Legion.
On the other hand, the elders grew worried. They looked at Di Fengqing, but the latter simply indicated for them to listen to Long Chen.
Very quickly, millions upon millions of dragon experts gathered outside of the Nine Peak Dragon Domain. Their lineup was rather frightening, but the elders were rather scared. If something were to happen to them, the Nine Peak Dragon Domain would have no future.
“Begin!” Long Chen shouted.
In an instant, the experts of the Dragon Domain broke their shackles. Their auras surged toward the heavens. And in response, endless tribulation clouds started to gather across the sky.
