“Not good, they’re planning on attacking Boss together!” Gu Yang shouted, his heart trembling with dread.

A single double-body Sovereign Lord was already powerful enough to cause him despair. Over ten of them attacking together? That was unstoppable.

Even the Dragonblood warriors grew nervous at this time. Although Long Chen had just killed one of those Sovereign Lords, the Dragonblood warriors knew he had used the Earth Cauldron to trick his opponent. That victory had come from luck, not strength.

In terms of raw power, Long Chen wasn’t a match for even one double-body Sovereign Lord—let alone a dozen. Everyone from the Dragon Domain tensed, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t interfere with the heavenly tribulation.

“You want to kill me?” asked Long Chen.

Even with their terrifying killing intent locking onto him, Long Chen sneered. Normally, such suppression would freeze him in place. But within the tribulation, the heavenly will reigned supreme. Their lock on him couldn’t restrict his movements here.

“Split the Heavens!” Long Chen shouted.

The Evilmoon Blade trembled in Long Chen’s grasp as Sword Qi exploded, soaring into the sky and cleaving through the lightning swords. Even the tribulation clouds quivered in response.

Suddenly, the world fell silent, as if a shrieking shrew had just been slapped in the face. Following that, a sharp killing intent rose.

Black threads fell from the tribulation clouds. They looked like spatial tears, and Long Chen immediately sensed an overwhelming spatial force trying to crush him. Cracks appeared across his body.

Although the Demon Moon Cauldron was blocking the thunderforce, this spatial power still poured through. Yao Ling-er had only just taken on her new form, yet her body was already warping under the immense pressure.

Even the double-body Sovereign Lords’ expressions changed. This spatial power was even more terrifying than theirs.

While they did control some spatial energy, it was only superficial. In the face of this heavenly might, they had no choice but to summon their Sovereign bodies. It was their only way to resist this pressure.

“Attack together!” One of them gave the signal.

Long Chen was far too dangerous. His Human Emperor tribulation was so horrifying it eclipsed even their Sovereign Lord tribulations. Moreover, he had boundless potential and endless tricks. Someone like him could never be allowed to survive. If he did, he would become their worst nightmare.

Just as they prepared to shamelessly join forces against him, the tribulation clouds started to rumble ominously. A deadly sense of doom welled up in each of them.

“What is that?!”

Gu Yang and the others cried out, staring in shock at the tribulation clouds. The already-dark tribulation clouds grew even darker. But then, pinpricks of divine light appeared, like stars blooming in a night sky.

Those stars started to flash, and with each flash, they expanded. Soon, each one radiated an oppressive might that made even the heavens and earth tremble in fear.

Even the double-body Sovereign Lords got goosebumps. These stars contained a power capable of threatening even them.

“Kill that human brat first!” roared a demon expert.

Just as he moved, one of those stars shot down and accurately landed right in front of him. He swung his bone saber at it, and he and the star were blown back.

The star then crashed into one of the gates and rebounded at an even greater speed.

“What?!”

Even Long Chen jumped in shock. This star held the power of an entire world. It carried its own laws. The Sovereign Lord’s attack didn’t even scratch the surface—it hadn’t broken through the star’s laws or drained any of its energy.

More stars began to descend, falling without distinction. Yao Ling-er was struck by one, and her newly formed body was instantly dented.

What terrified Long Chen even more was that not even Yao Ling-er’s power could alter the path of these stars. One of them continued flying straight toward him.

Without Yao Ling-er’s protection, Long Chen shouted and summoned the Violet Dragon Battle Armor. The Evilmoon Blade erupted with light as a dragon’s cry echoed. Long Chen then swung it at the star.

BOOM!

The Evilmoon Blade went flying out of Long Chen’s hold, and his hand was bleeding. Thankfully, the star’s trajectory shifted slightly.

All Long Chen had done was shear off a few lightning runes, like peeling a thin layer from an apple.

“It’s time.”

Gritting his teeth, Long Chen summoned a dragon claw, which grabbed the lightning runes stripped from the star. The “One” character glowed on his palm.

Buzz.

For the first time since the start of this tribulation, Long Chen absorbed its thunderforce. But the moment he did, he felt a violent resistance try to stop him.

After all, this heavenly tribulation’s lightning existed purely to kill him, giving him no chance to absorb it.

If Long Chen had not cultivated the Infinity-One Technique, which gave him the ability to forcibly erase this will, he would definitely die to this tribulation.

However, after absorbing this thunderforce, his heart grew cold. Within it was not only immense energy but also the terrifying natural laws of the world.

The amount of energy contained in those few runes was nearly the limit of what a Sovereign sprout could handle. But for Long Chen, it was barely a drop in the ocean.

More stars rained down from the heavens, bouncing wildly within the tribulation space. Their erratic trajectories made them impossible to dodge. Initially, they fell in predictable arcs, giving him time to react. But once they started rebounding off the eight gates, they became too chaotic to sense.

With Evilmoon in one hand and a seven-colored blade in the other, his divine ring blazing behind him, Long Chen weaved between stars, blocking only when he had no other choice.

But no matter how much he dodged, he couldn’t avoid them all. One star struck him directly. He summoned the Heaven Blocking Shield in desperation, but the shield shattered instantly on impact.

The lightning star slammed into his back, sending him flying and coughing up blood.

“Boss!”

Outside the tribulation, the Dragonblood warriors cried out in horror.
