Chapter 871 Defying the will of the world! Angering the heavens! (2)

Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and Xingyi, all felt a sudden chill as they stared at the enormous white bolt of lightning that had appeared above Shun Long in practically an instant. Sensing the boundless destructive energy that was hidden inside it made Liu Mei and the rest all shiver involuntarily, as a sensation of imminent death instantly gripped their hearts.

The moment they laid their eyes on this particular white bolt of heavenly tribulation, Bai Longtian and the rest immediately understood how terrifying it truly was.

Forget about a normal early-stage Dao King facing this, all of them could clearly sense that even middle and late-stage Dao Kings wouldn't stand a chance against it, as their spiritual seas would be obliterated in an instant!

In fact, Liu Mei and the rest could tell that even a peak rank 9 Dao King wouldn't last for more than a second if this bolt of heavenly tribulation entered their spiritual sea and began to go on a rampage!

Naturally, if Jiang Chen and the rest could sense this, then how could Shun Long not sense it as well when he was the true target of this Heavenly Tribulation?

And yet, the moment that the white bolt of lightning appeared in front of him, Shun Long merely closed his eyes as he allowed it to enter his spiritual sea directly.

In the next moment, under Liu Mei's and the rest's anxious and worried gazes, the white bolt of heavenly tribulation struck Shun Long right in the space between his eyebrows, before it pierced through his glabella and effortlessly entered inside his spiritual sea!

...

At the same time that this scene was taking place, in an area just a few thousand miles away from Shun Long's location, a commotion had already started to take place, as a group of more than 100 Dao Kings were now staring at the gigantic black-colored thundercloud in the sky that was still expanding rapidly without any signs of stopping!

''A Heavenly Tribulation...? Is this really a Heavenly Tribulation?''

''How is this possible? We are still inside the 'City of Immortals' right now so how can a Heavenly Tribulation appear here? Don't tell me that someone is really trying to breakthrough to the Dao Emperor realm in here!''

''No, that's not possible! Even if someone attempts to breakthrough to the Dao Emperor realm inside the 'City of Immortals', it would still be impossible for them to succeed. I have heard about this from my senior brother, but the laws inside the 'City of Immortals' forcefully prevent anyone from successfully breaking through to the next realm until they leave this place!''

''Regardless of what it is, let's go take a look!''

After staring at each other for a few moments, the group of more than 100 Dao Kings all shot to the sky at the same time, before they flew straight towards the heart of the black-colored thundercloud!

If Liu Mei and the others could see this scene they would be able to recognize most of these Dao Kings quite easily, as these were the same people who had been comprehending the stone mural alongside them just a couple of months ago.

Of course, since Liu Mei's and the others' current location was merely a few thousand miles away from the stone mural's location, it was only natural for these Dao Kings to notice the appearance of the cloud of Heavenly Tribulation above them!

...

At the same time that that group of Dao Kings was approaching closer and closer towards them, Shun Long sat cross-legged on the ground, as he welcomed the bolt of heavenly tribulation directly inside his spiritual sea.

The moment that the white bolt of heavenly tribulation entered his spiritual sea however Shun Long could no longer maintain his calm expression for another moment, as a sensation of indescribable pain filled his mind.

The moment it entered his spiritual sea, Shun Long could sense that the white bolt of heavenly tribulation didn't rampage around like the previous bolts of heavenly tribulation that he had faced back in the 'King's Palace', but instead, it turned into an extremely sharp bolt of lightning that flew directly towards the center of his spiritual sea, almost as if it was aiming straight for his soul!

And yet, this wasn't all there was to it, as Shun Long could sense that there was one more distinct difference between this white bolt of heavenly tribulation and the ones he had faced back in the King's Palace.

He could tell that despite the dangers that they contained, the bolts of heavenly tribulation he had faced back in the King's Palace weren't only destructive, since they also contained a nourishing type of energy inside them that strengthened both his spiritual sea as well as his soul once he absorbed them.

However, the bolt of heavenly tribulation that was inside his spiritual sea right now didn't have an ounce of that nourishing energy within it. Instead, it seemed as if it was only filled with pure destructive energy and its sole goal was to completely obliterate a person's soul!

And yet, Shun Long's expression was only frozen for a single moment before his lips curved up into a smile slowly afterwards.

In the next moment, Shun Long's entire spiritual sea suddenly surged, and like a beast that had just woken up from its slumber, it opened its mouth and completely swallowed the bolt of heavenly tribulation whole, leaving nothing behind!
