Chapter 468: Chapter 165 Shame

The Blue-Robed Cultivator, hearing the sound, hurriedly walked out of the cave and looked outside.

Just in time to see the Heavenly Tribulation that was gathering in the sky.

And below the Heavenly Tribulation, there was Lin Jing with a cold face.

Seeing this scene, the face of the Blue-Robed Cultivator turned red with a swish.

There was no helping it, he was simply too ashamed…

At that moment, another person also emerged from the cave.

The two of them exchanged glances, and instantly looked at each other in dismay.

Originally, their group was meant to act as protectors, yet as they watched danger approach, they hid themselves first.

Leaving Lin Jing alone in his place.

Now, with an indifferent look in his eyes, Lin Jing turned to the Blue-Robed Cultivator:

“Are you not going to take your people and leave?”

“Don’t delay my tribulation here…”

The Blue-Robed Cultivator looked up at Lin Jing on the mountain peak.

Lin Jing stood proudly atop the peak, his aura astonishing, with the continuously flashing lightning of the tribulation clouds above him.

Confronted by Lin Jing’s imposing aura, the Blue-Robed Cultivator quickly bowed his head.

Afterward, he and another cultivator dragged the remaining people out of the cave.

By now, the tribulation clouds were still expanding outward; it seemed that before long, they would envelop the group.

After leading the people out, they all hastily retreated quite some distance.

Originally, they had chosen a location already quite far away.

But unexpectedly, the tribulation cloud above Lin Jing’s head didn’t seem to stop expanding, continuing to spread outward.

They had never seen such tribulation thunder before.

Even they were stunned, having never witnessed such a Heavenly Tribulation.

At the same time, besides being shocked, they all fell silent.

No one took the initiative to speak.

The stronger the Heavenly Tribulation, the greater the individual’s strength was implied to be.

And Lin Jing, who was undergoing the Tribulation, clearly had extraordinary potential.

Now they all felt some regret; if they had held on a little longer earlier, they might have made a good impression on him.

Perhaps, they could have even forged a connection with him.

But now…

The Blue-Robed Cultivator, looking at Lin Jing under the tribulation clouds preparing for his Tribulation, couldn’t help feeling regretful.

On the other hand, Lin Jing, after they all withdrew from the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, no longer paid them any attention.

Lin Jing was now fully focused on the tribulation clouds above him.

The tribulation clouds continued to expand.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but frown, if it kept expanding.

It would affect Xu Ye’s tribulation, and that would be troubling.

……

At this time, near the Sea of Blood beach.

Xu Ye’s Heavenly Tribulation had already taken shape, whether in terms of the clouds’ extent or the pressure beneath them, it was far less than Lin Jing’s tribulation.

Suddenly, a thunderous “boom” resounded through the sky.

It was the first thunderbolt of the tribulation falling.

This thunderbolt was the first of Xu Ye’s tribulation…

This thunderbolt was tremendously powerful.

It left the Wu surnamed cultivator and the other protectors around him utterly shocked.

Of course.

Far away, hundreds of miles distant in the mountain range, Lin Jing also sensed the breath of the thunderbolt as it descended.

Although Lin Jing’s Heavenly Tribulation had arrived first, it was still in the brewing stages.

By now, the tribulation clouds had already enveloped the whole nearby mountain range.

Fortunately, to be cautious earlier,

The Blue-Robed Cultivator and his fellows had asked everyone in the area to leave.

Otherwise, if others were involved in the Heavenly Tribulation, with its power doubled, even Lin Jing himself might have difficulty passing through it safely.

Meanwhile, the Blue-Robed Cultivators below had retreated another distance, and they were now all as quiet as cicadas in winter.

Not daring to make the slightest noise, lest they disturb Lin Jing’s tribulation.

Yet within the hearts of the few, a wave of regret was incessantly spreading.

…

…

Fortunately, though the Heavenly Tribulation was powerful, it had its limits.

And the event that Lin Jing had been worried about did not occur.

After engulfing the nearby mountain range, the clouds of tribulation had ceased expanding, no longer growing.

Instead, the tribulation clouds continued to intensify in a different manner.

The air grew more and more condensed with a potent atmosphere, and even the surrounding pressure of heaven and earth became increasingly intense.

Even the Blue-Robed Cultivators, who hadn’t entered the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, were affected by this terrifying pressure.

They had only endured this pressure of heaven and earth for a short while before they could no longer bear it and retreated dozens of miles away.

They only dared to look on at Lin Jing’s side from a far distance, not daring to get close.

At that moment, the power of the tribulation lightning had fully accumulated.

Continuous muffled rumbles emanated from the tribulation clouds above.

Suddenly.

A bright blue light flashed across the sky…

A thunderous “boom” sounded.

A blue lightning bolt, hundreds of feet thick, struck down, enveloping Lin Jing and the entire mountaintop.

Before that, Lin Jing had activated his Overlord Body, covering himself with a layer of golden light to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

This first lightning bolt had come fast and left just as swiftly.

Soon, the first bolt of lightning dissipated.

In the aftermath, the ground near Lin Jing was completely scorched black.

Even the very summit where Lin Jing stood had a layer sheared off by that first strike of lightning.

Yet, there was not a single scratch on Lin Jing’s body.

The Blue-Robed Cultivators, who had witnessed the first bolt of lightning, were left dumbfounded.

Such was the power of the first bolt of lightning.

Wouldn’t the subsequent bolts then be several times stronger?

If it were they who faced it, they would likely be severely injured by this first lightning strike.

……

At this time, Lin Jing, looking up at the sky, saw the thunder within the tribulation clouds tumbling unceasingly.

Clearly, the second bolt was garnering strength.

Right then, Lin Jing sensed it.

Another bolt of lightning had descended upon Xu Ye’s location.

This lightning bolt should be Xu Ye’s sixth.

The lightning strikes befalling Xu Ye were much faster than Lin Jing’s.

And so, after waiting a little while longer,

Lin Jing’s second bolt of lightning finally descended.

This second bolt was also blue.

Only, it was much thicker than the first bolt.

In the face of this second lightning strike, Lin Jing, aside from operating the Overlord Divine Physique, did not take any defensive measures.

Of course, there was also a Formation that took on some of the damage from the lightning strike for Lin Jing.

Shortly after, the third bolt arrived…

It was still a blue lightning strike.

This third bolt finally made Lin Jing feel some pressure.

After the third strike, the color of the lightning within the tribulation clouds in the sky changed.

It turned red.

Countless red electric arcs, accompanied by a “rumbling” sound, churned nonstop within the clouds.

After a moment, the rumbling sound suddenly choked.

Lin Jing’s heart went on alert immediately, he looked up quickly while operating the Overlord Divine Physique, ready to withstand the incoming bolt.

Indeed.

Just as the golden light on Lin Jing’s body reached its peak, a red lightning bolt, hundreds of feet thick, struck down in response.

The red lightning was incredibly fierce.

The moment it contacted the Formation set up to aid Lin Jing in his tribulation, it directly shattered it…
