Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 656: Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation (Subscribe)

"That's right!" Elder Lei looked up at Pei Yan, who was floating in the sky at the center of the thunderstorm, and sighed, "I've heard that those who are chosen and favored by the Heavenly Dao are blessed by the heavens and gather the source of various planes in their being. I think your disciple must be in such a situation. Normally, even if others from different planes occasionally break through the realm here, it's rare to trigger this heavenly tribulation. But he is different. He naturally has a trace of the Daoist Plane's source aura within him, and with such a vast amount of Spiritual Qi inside him, breaking through the realm naturally resonates with heaven and earth, resulting in the birth of this heavenly tribulation."

"I see, thank you for the clarification! May I ask if there's any danger, can we assist him?" Elder Lin asked again, suddenly realizing the situation.

"Well..." Elder Lei hesitated upon hearing this.

"Is there something unspeakable here, or does it involve some cultivation technique secrets from the Daoist Realm?" Elder Lin noticed his concerns and asked in confusion.

Elder Lei waved helplessly and said, "It's not that, it's just that I've never heard of or seen this before. I'm really at a loss for how to respond. Within our realm, people often prepare various magical artifacts to mitigate the might of heaven and earth during heavenly tribulations, aiding themselves in overcoming the tribulation. There are also those who temper their bodies with thunder, using various methods. But for someone from a different plane to undergo a heavenly tribulation, I really don't know how to deal with it. But I can confirm that no outsider must assist. The more people assist, the more powerful the force of backlash from the tribulation. The higher the assistant's level, the stronger the backlash, which is one of the laws of our realm's Heavenly Dao. As for the danger you asked about?"

Elder Lei paused for a moment and sighed, "Ah, let me be honest with you. At first glance at the momentum of this heavenly tribulation's formation, if I hadn't seen this child's previous realm with my own eyes, I would never believe that this is the tribulation for someone newly ascending to the Human Dao Realm. I've only witnessed this scale in talented prodigies when they're ascending to the Asura Dao. Who knows how many sins or blessings he carries to be so rejected by heaven and earth!"

After speaking, Elder Lei withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at the investigators next to him, who were drenched in sweat, realizing his words had frightened them. He quickly reassured them, "This situation has its bad side but also a good one. If this child successfully overcomes this tribulation, he'll undoubtedly reap great benefits, with qualitative leaps in the tempering of his body's meridians and in his future understanding of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."

Unfortunately, these words could hardly enter everyone's ears at the moment because, just as he spoke, a thunderous roar resounded across the sky, terrifying everyone's hearts and making them look up simultaneously. They saw a lightning bolt as thick as a large tree break through the dark clouds and strike directly at Pei Yan.

"Be careful!" Pei Jin shouted worriedly at her younger brother.

However, Pei Yan, unafraid, flew straight toward the lightning, allowing it to strike his body. Amid everyone's exclamations, his entire figure, smoking, fell headlong to the ground. Just as he was about to crash into the ground, Pei Yan finally regained consciousness and forcibly stabilized himself. But before he could catch his breath, a second, even thicker lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking him again. This time, it sent him crashing to the ground, leaving behind a shallow pit and a scorched human form.

This scorched body still struggled with hands on the ground to rise, but was met with one powerful lightning strike after another until the pit deepened and Pei Yan could no longer get up.

No one knew how long the thunderstorm lasted; their eyes grew sore from watching, yet the thunderclouds showed no sign of dissipating. Just as Bai Xue Lin secretly prayed for Pei Yan to be struck dead by the tribulation, a thunderous roar echoed from within the pit.

"You damned heavens! It's endless, huh?" After this sound, a dark figure leaped out of the pit, cursing the sky with raised fists, while a large amount of Power of Thunder gathered between his palms.

In response, the sky seemed to answer his actions by stopping the continuous lightning strikes. Within the dark clouds, thunder rolled and lightning churned, as if a Thunder Dragon roamed freely.

A moment later, accompanied by the roar of a dragon, a massive red Thunder Dragon head emerged from the clouds, peering at the human world. It quickly locked onto the culprit of this event and then roared, waving its tail as it headed straight for Pei Yan.

At this moment, Pei Yan's hands were already holding a significant amount of lightning power. Seeing the Thunder Dragon charge at him, he didn't dodge but swung his arms, unleashing a blue-glowing Thunder Dragon that roared as it collided head-on.

The two Thunder Dragons met mid-air, bursting forth with dazzling light that forced everyone to squint and observe carefully. They saw a red and a blue giant dragon engage in a fierce battle in the sky. But it was clear to everyone that the blue Thunder Dragon was not a match for the red, which soon gained the upper hand with the cooperation of heaven and earth. It quickly shredded the blue Thunder Dragon released by Pei Yan and swallowed it whole, then descended triumphantly, launching an onslaught on Pei Yan's body.

As the thunderstorm passed, the world was enveloped in a white haze. When everyone's vision returned, the dark clouds gathered in the sky had dissipated, with the remaining force turning into raindrops falling on the ground. Pei Jin ignored the pain in her eyes and rushed into the courtyard, but after a few steps, her body went numb and she fell to the ground. The courtyard still bore the residual electric force left by the heavenly tribulation!

Pei Jin couldn't care less and used her abilities to resist the electric shock, intending to charge forward again, but was pulled back by Gu Shenghui, who reminded her, "Look, where is Pei Yan?"

Pei Jin followed Gu Shenghui's finger and saw a dark figure slowly crawling out of the pit, staggering before standing still, looking around dazedly and occasionally glancing at his body. The burnt skin was peeling off under the raindrops, revealing skin as tender as a baby's.

This scene hadn't cheered the investigators for long when a silver shadow flashed by, thrusting a hand through Pei Yan's chest.

"The five minutes have long passed!" Knowing this child must not be kept alive, Bai Xue Lin, disregarding decorum, decided to kill him promptly while confirming he survived the tribulation, taking advantage of him yet to be mechanized.

"Despicable!" Pei Jin and Gu Shenghui shouted in unison. After yelling, they leapt into the field to intervene, only to be stopped by a languid voice.

"Stay back; I said this is my fight!" Despite being pierced through the belly, Pei Yan appeared exceptionally calm, waving his hand to halt his sister's actions. Then he looked contemptuously at the Mechanical Puppet before him, calmly grasped its wrist, and slowly drew it out of his abdomen.
