Chapter 1229 - Turning into a Furnace
"My god, so this is Chen Fan's legend tribulation? This is too terrifying!"
"It's my first time seeing such a terrifying legend tribulation. They say the Heavens created forty-nine of the fifty great Daos, leaving one as a path to survival, but this tribulation seems intent on destroying him."
"Terrifying, terrifying. This is too terrifying! First, lightning mountains, now a lightning immortal palace... What next?"
"Just keep watching and you'll find out. At this rate, things will only get worse."
People across the Tianwu Continent watched Chen Fan's every move.
They saw Ye Yuanming chase him for ten days and nights, and he barely escaped, hiding in a barren valley to recover.
Looking at Chen Fan's tribulation now, their hearts kept trembling.
It wasn't just Tianwu—people across other continents were drawn in by the commotion of Chen Fan facing his tribulation.
Countless people talked, shocked or sneering.
"Who is that guy? His heavenly tribulation is too terrifying!"
"Did he do something to incur heaven's wrath?"
"He may be having fun right now, but he'll have to kneel soon!"
The people of continents like Tianxuan and Ziyang cursed Chen Fan to fail his tribulation, hoping the lightning would finish him.
......
In a dense forest fifty thousand kilometers away from the barren valley, Ye Yuanming watched with a grim expression.
"Hmm? That level of chaos... someone's facing a tribulation."
Chen Fan's tribulation was overwhelming: not just visually, but in sheer pressure. Let alone fifty, one could even see it from two hundred and fifty thousand kilometers away.
"This aura..." A fierce light shot out of Ye Yuanming's eyes.
"It's that bastard Chen Fan's aura. He's facing his tribulation, the legend tribulation!"
He sensed Chen Fan's aura from the fluctuations of that heavenly tribulation. It couldn't be wrong.
"Well, well, you're actually attempting to break through to the Legendary realm. Hmph, did you think you could fight me after becoming a Legend? How naïve! Fine, let's see if you survive this terrifying tribulation. Even if you do, you'll be half-dead. Let's see how you escape me then."
Immediately, cold light shot out of his eyes. He rose into the sky and darted toward the barren valley.
After Chen Fan tore apart the lightning immortal palace, a large dragon's head peeked out of the tribulation clouds.
Roar!
A hundred thousand feet long lightning dragon was coiling through the sky. Terrifying lightning power filled the sky, making it hard to breathe. Many nearby staggered, their legs going weak.
"This... this..."
"Lightning dragon, this is a lightning dragon. My god, it's too terrifying!"
The crowd was horrified.
"Roar!"
The lightning dragon's cold gaze locked onto Chen Fan, who looked no bigger than an ant. Without emotion, it roared and lunged straight toward him.
"He's finished! Chen Fan can't withstand this!"
The nearby crowd's faces paled.
Even though Chen Fan was facing the tribulation, its terrifying aura gripped everyone nearby. The crowd's heart pounded, and the scent of death filled the air.
"Good. Let him die. He's carrying an immortal artifact and a trove of treasures. Once he's dead, they're ours."
Even with fear on their faces, some smiled coldly, hoping the tribulation would save them the trouble of dealing with Chen Fan.
Many knew that Chen Fan had an immortal artifact and could resist peak Lesser Legendary realm experts with his Greater Peak Manifestation realm cultivation.
The immortal artifact was clearly the key to this feat.
If Chen Fan perished under the heavenly tribulation, they'd claim it for themselves.
The lightning dragon roared as it descended. Chen Fan felt the crushing aura. The boundless pressure, for the first time, made him feel truly heavy.
Rumble!
Before the lightning dragon arrived, its dragon claws swiped down.
The air immediately exploded, forming a terrifying gale, like waves crashing on the shore, or ten thousand horses galloping, sweeping toward Chen Fan.
Even the wind alone could maim a Lesser Legendary realm expert.
But Chen Fan stood firm, unmoving like a mountain. Behind him, his lightning cloak billowed wildly, ready for battle.
Boom, tch!
The dragon claw descended. A terrifying force instantly erupted.
Chen Fan roared furiously. Stars flared around him as he unleashed his full strength, striking back at the claw, resulting in a shocking explosion.
The dragon claw shattered, but Chen Fan was sent flying like a cannonball, slamming into the ground and leaving massive cracks across the valley floor.
"Ao!"
The dragon claw shattered, and the lightning dragon was enraged. It hadn't expected the ant beneath it to land a blow.
Immediately, it opened its mouth and spewed out a terrifying stream of lightning, blasting down at Chen Fan.
He was still alive; the dragon could feel it. As a creature of tribulation, it wouldn't vanish until its target was either dead or it was fully destroyed.
In the crater below, Chen Fan felt as if all of his bones had shattered, his organs had shifted positions, and his qi and blood tumbled violently. Blood kept spurting out from his eyes, nose, and mouth.
The power behind the lightning dragon's claw was too terrifying. For anyone else at the early-stage Lesser Legendary realm, it would've meant instant death.
Had Chen Fan not absorbed the lightning earlier and reached the peak of level 39 of the Hegemonic Golden Body, the claw would have turned into meat paste.
"Damn it!" Chen Fan cursed, watching the lightning waterfall descend from the nine heavens. He could feel the immense power within it.
Without hesitation, he soared upward, locking onto the lightning stream and charging straight against its flow.
There was no way to hide from the heavenly tribulation. The more you dodged, the less chance you had of surviving it.
Other people would grit their teeth and stubbornly take it on, but Chen Fan took the initiative and attacked.
Although that claw had heavily injured him, he didn't care. He charged into the lightning stream.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine for me!"
All of Chen Fan's pores opened in unison, facing the lightning stream and devouring it like crazy.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace worked at full capacity, letting out rumbling noises inside Chen Fan. It expanded infinitely, and Chen Fan became the furnace.
He was the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
A furnace to refine heaven and earth.
The terrifying lightning stream rushed into him. The destructive force exploded continuously. Each bolt felt alive, carrying a will to annihilate him, and exploded violently inside.
However, he had turned into a furnace. He was one with heaven and earth, stubbornly suppressing it.
Gradually, the devastating lightning turned into nourishment, strengthening his aura, stabilizing it, and slowly healing his injuries.
