Chapter 734 - 734 Shun Long"s Heavenly Tribulation Descends! (2)
""Are you serious? How is this possible?""
""A full set of nine? A Nascent Soul stage cultivator has to face a full set of nine bolts of Heavenly Tribulation?""
At the same time that Shun Long had raised his head to look at the sky above him, the experts around the Northern Sovereign who were standing a good distance away from the King"s Palace, all stared at the 6 snow-white lightning bolts that were being formed around the cloud of the Heavenly Tribulation with flabbergasted looks on their faces, unable to believe the situation in front of them.
Indeed, along with the previous 3 lightning bolts that Shun Long had to face, these 6 pure-white bolts of lightning that were being formed in the sky right now made a full set of nine bolts of Heavenly Tribulation!
A middle-aged man dressed in purple robes with a cultivation similar to the Grand Elder"s, at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm, turned to look at the Northern Sovereign who was standing a few tens of meters away from him, and asked in a tone that couldn"t fully hide his shock
""Senior, what is going on? This is the first time that I see 9 bolts of lightning appear in the Heavenly Tribulation of a Nascent Soul stage brat.""
The surrounding experts all turned their gazes towards the Northern Sovereign as well, as they waited to hear her answer.
Although all of those experts who were allowed to stand close to the Northern Sovereign were high-level figures of their respective territories within the central region, it was indeed the first time for them to witness such a scene as well.
Nodding her head, the Northern Sovereign kept staring at the ma.s.sive thundercloud in the sky above the King"s Palace, before she answered in an extremely solemn tone
""That kid"s talent is truly terrifying. What a shame!
It"s true that normally, a full set of nine bolts of Heavenly Tribulation will only descend when Dao Kings who have comprehended common or rare Daos face their own Heavenly Tribulations to reach the Dao Emperor realm.
However, although I haven"t witnessed it myself, I have heard that in the past, there have been geniuses who had to face a full set of nine bolts of Heavenly Tribulation during their breakthrough to the Dao King realm as well!
Of course, throughout the entire history of our central region, I have only heard of 8 such geniuses who had to face such a Heavenly Tribulation... and in the end, only 3 of them managed to survive!""
The Northern Sovereign"s voice had hints of pity and amazement inside it as she looked at the ma.s.sive white thundercloud that had now covered a distance of 99.999 meters.
As an expert who had lived for more than 500.000 years and ruled the northern part of the central region, the Northern Sovereign was naturally privy to some of the secrets of the central region.
She had never expected that today, she would be seeing one of those Heavenly Tribulations with her own eyes.
Naturally, the Northern Sovereign could sense that this Heavenly Tribulation that Shun Long was undergoing, was very different from the tribulations that most Dao Kings had to face when they broke through to the Dao Emperor realm.
The Northern Sovereign knew that although these lightning bolts may be weaker than the bolts that those peak Dao Kings would have to face, the level of danger far surpa.s.sed anything that Nascent Soul stage cultivators could endure.
Even though it was said that the Heavens were always fair and would always leave out the slightest bit of chance for someone to survive, in the Northern Sovereign"s eyes, facing such a Heavenly Tribulation as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was no different from death.
As for the 3 geniuses who had managed to survive, the Northern Sovereign knew that they had only survived thanks to their good luck, and with extremely serious injuries to their souls that they needed more than a thousand years to heal.
If those geniuses hadn"t managed to absorb the energy inside the bolts of Heavenly Tribulation in time, before their spiritual seas were fully destroyed, they would have also joined the other 5, turning into nothing but dust, with their names buried through the annals of history of the central region.
The Grand Elder"s expression was exceedingly ugly to behold, and the last spark of hope in his heart was forcefully snuck out.
From the moment that he had seen the size of Shun Long"s Heavenly Tribulation, the Grand Elder had started to despair, feeling that Shun Long had almost no chance of surviving.
He knew that Shun Long"s Heavenly Tribulation was bound to be extraordinary.
And yet, in his heart, the Grand Elder still hoped that Shun Long could somehow pull a miracle and survive this ordeal.
However, after seeing the 6 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation that had appeared in the sky and hearing the Northern Sovereign"s words, the last bit of hope in his heart was slowly crushed into nothingness.
At the same time, in the core region of the King"s Palace, Shun Long was staring at the 6 bolts of white lightning in the sky above him with a serious look.
He was already prepared for his Heavenly Tribulation to be much worse than Jiang Chen"s and the rest"s.
Although a full set of nine bolts was indeed extremely dangerous, Shun Long knew that it wasn"t entirely hopeless to resist this.
Shun Long"s gaze was like a sharp sword as he stared at the 6 bolts of lightning in the sky that had almost reached their full strength by now, before he spoke in a serious voice that reverberated throughout the core region of the King"s Palace
""Time... Siphon!""
The qi inside his 81 silver-colored b.a.l.l.s of qi was being sapped at an alarming rate, before a bright blue light with hints of gold inside it covered Shun Long"s body like a coc.o.o.n.
