"Rumble... The
massive Qiankun Cauldron trembled, endless flames surging from underground. Taiyin Fire, Sunfire, Rainbow Flame, Ice Soul Divine Flame, and countless other heavenly flames surged forth, surrounding the Cauldron.
"Is the Heavenly Dao trying to refine the boss?"
Guo Ran and the others were shocked. Even though they didn't know how to refine pills, they could tell that heaven and earth had sealed Long Chen—they were trying to refine him alive.
"Drive it for me!"
Long Chen roared, realizing things were bad. Previously, when the heavenly tribulation targeted him, he still had confidence to handle it, but now, it seemed another force was interfering with the tribulation, and a powerful threat of death instantly enveloped him.
Long Chen immediately summoned the Qiankun Cauldron and smashed it fiercely at the thunderous cauldron enveloping him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Long Chen unleashed his full power. With each strike, the heavens and earth trembled, the world flickered in light and darkness, and the tremendous sound made the stars tremble across the heavens.
But unlike before, the Qiankun Cauldron, copied by the Heavenly Dao, had fused with that mysterious dagger and infused with the power of heavenly fire, making it exceptionally tough.
However, after several consecutive smashes, Long Chen developed cracks. Seeing those cracks, he immediately perked up, indicating it could still be broken.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen was burning with hope, a giant hand that covered the sky reached out from the heavens and pressed down on the Qiankun Cauldron modeled by the Heavenly Tribulation.
The moment that giant hand pressed down on the Qiankun Cauldron, the entire world fell silent. Even the Hall Master's pupils contracted sharply, and Bai Shishi's mother looked even more terrified:
"Six Designated Qiankun?" Is that the hand of the heavens? "
Hand of Heaven, rumor has it that in the Age of Chaos, when anomalies disturbing the heavenly Dao appear between heaven and earth, they will be destroyed by the heavenly tribulation."
If the heavenly tribulation cannot destroy it, it will descend from the Hand of Heaven and destroy it. There are only ancient legends about the Hand of Heaven, but no written records.
According to legend, the Hand of Heaven has six fingers, each representing a kind of Dao. The cycle of the Six Paths can annihilate any living being within them.
Only the knowledgeable and powerful older generation have heard of this ancient legend, but even those who have heard of the hand of heaven mostly treat it as a story and no one takes it seriously.
But now, when the Heaven-Shrouding Hand descended, six fingers trembled, locking onto the myriad paths of heaven and earth, all the powerful beings who had heard of the Hand of Heaven looked utterly shocked.
"Rumble..."
When the giant hand descended and covered the Qiankun Cauldron that had been replicated by the tribulation, the cauldron rapidly shrank.
As it shrank, Long Chen, trapped inside the Qiankun Cauldron, was instantly oppressed all over, feeling immense pressure. Even the Cauldron in his hand couldn't be smashed out.
"I knew it, someone was causing trouble." Long Chen stared at the giant hand, both shocked and furious.
He recognized the Hand of Heaven, but whether he could recognize it or not was meaningless; the Hand of Heaven was here to kill him.
"Crack, crack, crack... As
the Qiankun Cauldron kept shrinking, Long Chen felt his whole body being squeezed, as if billions of stars were pressing down on him at once. Six violent forces came from that giant hand, seemingly trying to crush him by force.
"What hand of the heavens? It's just that you don't like me. Once I get stronger, I'll break your dog leg. Long Chen roared angrily.
He struggled with all his might, only to be shocked to find that his spiritual blood, spiritual roots, spiritual bones, and soul power were all suppressed, leaving him completely powerless.
At that moment, Long Chen gritted his teeth. He had all his strength but couldn't use it, as if sealed away.
Buzz!
At this critical moment, the Qiankun Cauldron suddenly vanished, and it had actually slipped into Long Chen's soul space on its own.
At that moment, Long Chen was so furious he almost cursed out loud. He hadn't expected the Qiankun Cauldron to be so unloyal, refusing to help him at this moment and instead retreating into his sea of consciousness to seek refuge.
Suddenly, Long Chen discovered that he had lost contact with the Qiankun Cauldron, and even the soul connection between Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er had been severed.
At that moment, Long Chen lost all his power, as if instantly knocked back to his original form, back to the Tianwu Empire, bullied and a worthless loser.
"Crack, crack, crack... Long
Chen's body was pressed down by the power of the Six Paths, blood seeping down his skin, yet he felt no pain at all; it was as if his own sensation had been stripped away.
At first, Long Chen could feel terrifying flames scorching his entire body, threatening to turn him to ashes. But now, he felt no pain at all.
Gradually, he even lost his sight, unable to see even the hand of the heavens. The world before him was a grayish, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Unable to move, speech, or look, Long Chen was filled with endless anger and unwillingness. He was unwilling to die like this; he refused to accept it. He was determined to fight this unfair fate to the end.
"Buzz"—
At that moment, a golden light appeared in the vast white world, illuminating the white world.
Golden light dispersed the white, and then golden lotus flowers appeared. Long Chen appeared in a world of lotus flowers, and he was stunned—he was very familiar with this lotus world.
Immediately after, a beautiful woman appeared before his eyes. Her eyes were full of concern as she looked at Long Chen, her gaze full of affection: "
Child, why are you angry?"
"Aunt Gong, what brings you here?" Long Chen was both surprised and delighted, staring in disbelief at the beautiful woman before him.
"Answer Aunt Gong first." Aunt Gong said.
"I hate, I hate the injustice of heaven and earth, I hate the inhumanity of all things, I hate the foolishness of all beings." Long Chen said through gritted teeth.
"If you hate it, why not resist actively? Not just a direct counterattack? Never eradicate the root? "Aunt Gong asked.
"I ...," Long Chen was taken aback.
"Is it because of attachment?" Is it to avoid infamy? "Aunt Gong asked.
"Of course not. I've never cared about fame." Long Chen shook his head.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Aunt Gong asked gently.
"I... I..."
Long Chen's voice trembled slightly, "I'm afraid of making a mistake and losing everything." Aunt
Gong smiled, reaching out her jade-like hand to stroke Long Chen's cheek, her face radiating a sacred light, as kind as a mother: "
Silly child, have you forgotten what Aunt Gong said? I entrust it to you, and it will guide you.
Don't doubt yourselfDon't deny yourself; everything you do is right.
Only by believing in yourself can you be the strongest you. Long Chen, stand up. This world needs giants. "
Whoosh."
Suddenly, the golden lotus world before him vanished. But while the golden lotus world had vanished, the golden divine radiance did not. A golden lotus seed appeared above Long Chen's head, radiating golden divine radiance to every corner of the world.
When the golden lotus seed appeared, Long Chen bathed in golden light, and the power suppressed by the hand of heaven instantly returned.
Not only that, endless flames and thunderous power instantly merged into Long Chen's body. A divine radiance appeared behind his head, and at that moment, Long Chen advanced to the Realm King stage.
"Damn the Hand of the Heavens, open it for me!"
Long Chen roared. Having advanced to Realm King, he wielded a golden lotus seed and smashed it fiercely at the giant hand that covered the sky.
"Boom!"
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the sky-covering giant hand was shattered by the golden lotus seed, a ripple spreading out, and everything returned to nothingness.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
At that moment, the Dragon Blood Warriors, Academy disciples, War God Hall disciples, and Xinghe Sect disciples all glowed and advanced to Realm King.
"Success!"
Guo Ran and the others shouted excitedly—this thrilling heavenly tribulation had finally passed.
"Buzz!"
Just as everyone was celebrating, a giant hand that covered the sky suddenly lunged at Long Chen and grabbed it down.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Could it be that the hand of heaven had descended once again?
"There really are people who don't know their place."
A smile appeared on the Hall Master's face, but suddenly his figure vanished in an instant.
