13 Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Azure Dragon Roam
This boring question originated from a sense of bewilderment Qian Renxue felt after learning about the future.
However, she would surely encounter Tang San in the future, and the answer would naturally reveal itself then.
But Chu Feng was currently more concerned with whether the illusion was real.
The Tang San's alias in the illusion didn't even have all of Tang San's skills and techniques; he seemed like a fake.
Yet, the personality traits he exhibited were very close to Tang San's, albeit slightly exaggerated.
At that moment, the system appeared and provided a good explanation.
[The arrival of the investiture of the gods system in the Douluo World will change and disrupt the original timeline.]
[Although Tang San's alias died within Qian Renxue's Divine Sense as a manifestation of an Inner Demon, the corresponding physical person will also be affected.]
Following that logic, Chu Feng could seemingly already see Tang San's current state of agonizing pain.
In the Shrek Academy dormitory, Tang San roared in struggle, blood constantly seeping from his status panel.
He likely never imagined in his wildest dreams that his powerful Protagonist Halo would be challenged across time and space.
As Chu Feng was thinking, the system suddenly dropped a major problem on him.
[The Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation has begun. Host, please take precautions.]
Misfortune cannot be avoided; what is meant to come will eventually arrive.
But his luck was truly a bit poor; Qian Renxue was still some distance away from the investiture of the gods.
Furthermore, the power of the lightning tribulation before the investiture of the gods was already comparable to that of a god; Qian Renxue was certainly no match for it.
However, Chu Feng remained exceptionally calm, his inner state as steady as mountains and rivers.
Because during his contact with the Inner Demon in the illusion, he had discovered something even more important.
That was an opportunity—something that only exists in the myths of gods and immortals.
Perhaps it was caused by a chain reaction after Qian Renxue broke the causality of the Douluo World.
But that didn't matter; what mattered was that if he could seize the lightning tribulation, he might be able to grasp a sliver of opportunity.
This was also the hint given to him by the evolution of Dao techniques in his heart: opportunity would arrive along with the descent of a god.
"Look! What's that?"
Suddenly, Qian Renxue cried out, her starry eyes fixed on the sky, her expression filled with astonishment.
Then, earth-shaking peals of thunder followed one after another, their explosive force seeming to come from ancient times.
"What a fierce lightning tribulation!"
Chu Feng was overjoyed and quickly climbed a tall building in the imperial court, wanting to observe more closely.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened; there were no clouds, no wind, and no sun, only an increasing darkness.
Yet the thunder continued unabated, driving countless streaks of purple lightning into a complete frenzy.
In Heaven Dou City, the commoners, already terrified by the slaughter of the imperial family, became even more crazed.
As subjects living at the foot of the Son of Heaven, they knelt one after another, firmly believing this was punishment from the heavens.
At this point, the sky seemed even more enraged, beginning to manifest ribbon-like streaks of brilliant light that drifted away in all directions.
This was the Primordial Chaos Aura. Chu Feng had previously gained some through internal enlightenment; it was an accidental byproduct of divine force within the creation of heaven and earth.
Now, it filled the sky as if someone had deliberately sown it. Could this be one of the myriad opportunities?
However, after Chu Feng tried to capture a few wisps, he found them of little use, as they were filled with swirling murky energy.
"What are you looking at? Are you keeping secrets from me?"
Qian Renxue had arrived on the tall building at some unknown point, her divine force allowing her to move as if flying.
Chu Feng: "Do you see this lightning tribulation in the sky? Can you endure it?"
"Is this also part of the trial?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.
Chu Feng smiled. "Yes and no, but it's definitely not that simple."
"Are you afraid?" Qian Renxue was certainly straightforward.
The corner of Chu Feng's mouth twitched slightly. "If you're not afraid, then I'm not afraid."
"Can you be a bit more reliable with your words?"
Qian Renxue felt that communicating with this man was becoming quite a struggle.
But Chu Feng didn't waste any more words; he grabbed Qian Renxue's hand and leaped straight down from the top of the tall building.
He then said, "I'm very reliable, of course. So, are you mentally prepared?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue had no chance to reply, her lips trembling from the wind.
She also had to pay attention to what they were actually doing; they wouldn't just keep falling forever, would they?
Just as she decided to use her divine force, Chu Feng used his first and soared straight into the clouds.
"You're not trying to test me, are you? I'm an Angel; it's not like I'd actually fall to the ground, right?"
Qian Renxue pouted in dissatisfaction, but her attention was quickly diverted.
A bolt of lightning had just struck past her sleeve, and a burnt smell wafted out.
Only then did Chu Feng say seriously, "I was testing whether the lightning would lock onto a target. It seems I was right."
"This lightning is coming for me?"
Qian Renxue suddenly realized.
"Otherwise? Who else but you would have such a grand display? Could it be them?"
Chu Feng was praising Qian Renxue in this instance, making sure she was truly mentally prepared.
But Qian Renxue was immediately surprised. "Who are 'they'?"
Chu Feng's gaze shifted downward, pointing toward the gate of Heaven Dou City.
A crowd of royal soldiers was continuously gathering, polishing their blades, spears, and staves until they shone.
They weren't brought by Emperor Xue Ye, but by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After Chu Feng had easily killed Sword Douluo earlier, he had overlooked one thing: he hadn't paid attention to his partner, Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
As a fellow Sect Protecting Douluo, he was indeed near Heaven Dou City, but he had arrived a bit late this time.
"Do we need to deal with them first?"
Qian Renxue's serious attitude made her completely disregard the awkwardness of holding hands with Chu Feng.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, felt his hand getting a bit sore and let go.
Without any warning, Qian Renxue plummeted downward with a whoosh.
"Hey! What we need to deal with first is that dragon in the sky."
Chu Feng shouted from above, just as Qian Renxue spread her Angel Wings.
"You really are unreliable. By the way, where is this dragon?"
Qian Renxue's face was full of disdain, and her tone was uneven.
Just as Chu Feng was about to reply, a dragon's roar came howling toward them.
Simultaneously, thousands of lightning bolts surged down in an instant, destroying parts of Heaven Dou City beyond recognition, with smoke and fire soaring into the sky.
The sky slowly released a brilliant golden light again, and an Azure Dragon claw emerged first, followed by rolling waves of clouds and mist.
Then, massive dragon eyes appeared like bright lanterns, their gentle blinks filled with infinite intensity.
Next, the dragon's body churned and roamed, freely controlling the entire lightning storm around it, as if the vast sky itself bowed beneath it.
It truly was: the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation, the Azure Dragon roams; within the Great Dao's opportunity, life's vitality surfaces.
Chu Feng stood floating not far from the dragon's tail, his mind exceptionally stirred.
But Qian Renxue was no longer calm; after all, dragons were considered extinct creatures in this era, and seeing one with her own eyes, even an Angel couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
"You're saying we have to deal with it? This isn't an illusion."
It wasn't that Qian Renxue was afraid, but facing this thousand-mile-long Azure Dragon, she was uncertain.
The energy it displayed, by spirit power standards, should have long exceeded the scale of Level 100.
Thus, by Spirit Beast standards, it likely couldn't be defined simply by its age in years.
But Chu Feng smiled brightly. "Just a simple dragon slaying, don't panic!"
