Chapter 1444: Chapter 1445: Peculiar Species
In the field, there were four senior disciples of the Baihe Family forming a perimeter and securely protecting Bai Ge within.
Perhaps due to the suppression by the Rule Power of the forty-ninth battlefield, the Heavenly Tribulation in the void hardly brewed before a bolt of lightning directly struck.
As previously assessed, no significant power emerged; it was infinitely weakened. Bai Ge merely had an arm blown into a bloody mess, yet after consuming elixirs, he quickly recovered as if nothing had happened.
“Success, exactly as expected!”
“Crossing tribulation within the forty-ninth battlefield weakens the Heavenly Tribulation infinitely!”
“So, if in the future all tribulations are crossed here, the chances of surviving will greatly increase. Hopefully, the Academy Elders can obtain the battlefield key!”
Witnessing this scene, not only Bai Ge but several senior disciples of the Baihe Family grew excited.
Acquiring this battlefield won’t substantially increase the Academy’s combat power, yet its special efficacy for tribulation crossing means that if held by the Heavenly God Academy, it’s easy to imagine the mortality rate of disciples during tribulation crossing will greatly diminish.
The battlefield’s rules can enhance the Academy’s overall strength!
“Boom!”
The thunder roared in the sky, the Heavenly Tribulation erupted; in the lightning pool, countless silver serpents brewed, faintly dyed red, affected by the battlefield’s power suppression.
Within the clouds, a blade array formed by lightning descended. Due to the suppression by the battlefield’s power, the lightning blades were compressed to the size of palms, fluttering like butterflies across the sky.
“Fight!”
Bai Ge roared towards the heavens, striking in mid-air, with his Bloodline Power surging and boiling within, charging within the blade array of the Heavenly Tribulation, tearing pieces of lightning into fragments.
The situation was promising, relying on the armor he wore, Bai Ge could fight back and forth with the Heavenly Tribulation. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be his easiest tribulation crossing yet.
Electric and thunder roared in the void, seemingly growing more furious and fierce due to some kind of provocation.
Bai Ge did not pay attention, continuing to punch without noticing the anomaly in the clouds, as thunderbolts continuously descended, dazzling the eye.
Just within a breath, more than a dozen blade arrays descended from the sky.
Even if the Ancient Battlefield made the Heavenly Tribulation feel provoked, it shouldn’t have tossed down so many tribulations, especially since Heavenly Tribulations are typically rhythmic, descending in waves with intervals to brew before the next wave descends.
This provided cultivators with a chance to catch their breath, but the current situation defied logic, different from their knowledge!
This Heavenly Tribulation was like it consumed some treasure, one after another without pause, the silver serpents in the pool raining down like drops. Though each one’s power was weakened, Bai Ge could withstand them, but the continuous torrential storm was unbearable!
“What’s going on, this Heavenly Tribulation seems off!”
“Why won’t it stop, perhaps it’s a side effect of crossing tribulation in the forty-ninth battlefield?”
“Something’s not right, even with some influence from the forty-ninth battlefield, this isn’t how one person’s Heavenly Tribulation should be!”
At the four corners, cultivators from the Baihe Family responsible for covering the formation spoke solemnly.
Smoke and dust rose in the field, lightning flashed; they couldn’t see the interior clearly, but the sensed aura confirmed only Bai Ge was inside, yet the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was unmatched with his cultivation level?
The lightning center’s Bai Ge finally sensed the anomaly, the excessive power descending from the sky thundered his scalp numb, and the quantity increased, this wasn’t tribulation crossing, this was bathing in the lightning pool!
“Boom!”
A blood-colored thunder struck directly on Bai Ge’s body, making him stagger slightly, as he looked down, chills ran down his spine.
On the ground, a youth unknown, lay flat with arms crossed, watching him with his legs crossed.
As their eyes met, his body shivered as if shocked.
“Holy crap, who’s this!”
Bai Ge was horrified, startled to see a person lying here, what was this guy doing, where did he come from?
“Senior Brother Bai has a forgetful nature; have you forgotten your little brother so quickly?”
Li Xiaobai remarked with a gleeful smile.
“Weren’t you planning to get rid of me in this Ancient Battlefield? Well, your little brother has come to you!”
Li Xiaobai lay flat on the ground, quadruple his defensive power activated, unaffected by the Heavenly Tribulation, but his presence was causing Bai Ge to endure more terrifying lightning power.
“It’s you!”
“You actually dare come and even enter my Heavenly Tribulation, what are you planning to do!”
Upon seeing the intruder’s features, Bai Ge was shocked, instinctively sensing something was amiss.
This Cai Kun should only be at Transcendent First Layer; even if his strength increased, surpassing his own is impossible, how can he remain unscathed within his Heavenly Tribulation?
Moreover, in such an unguarded lying position, what was going on?
“Heard Senior Bai’s going for a tribulation crossing, little brother came to join, Senior Bai, carry on!”
Li Xiaobai casually waved his hand, speaking lightly.
“Damn it…”
Bai Ge’s composure shattered; no wonder so many tribulations descended from the void, it turned out there was another person lying beside him!
And due to their proximity, the tribulation destined for Li Xiaobai also affected him, this guy was intentional, he must be carrying a Magic Treasure, aiming to pit him here!
Several Inner Sect Disciples of the Baihe Family around also noticed the scene, each staring with wide eyes.
They were seeing someone treating a Heavenly Tribulation so trivially for the first time; the power of the tribulation varies per individual. This guy intruding should logically endure lightning power beyond his limits, yet why did he exhibit such ease, even lying down?
“Isn’t this the disciple of Elder Fen Tian? Offending Bai Ge and appearing here indeed!”
“Perhaps Elder Fen Tian gave him some Magic Treasure, being a disciple, it’s expected for a master to provide means for survival!”
A few wrinkled their brows, feeling the situation was growing difficult.
They didn’t dare intrude on the Heavenly Tribulation, or it would target them as well, considering them as intruders to undergo tribulation together; they didn’t possess Li Xiaobai’s daringness and guts, without any cultivation, if the Heavenly Tribulation targeted them, it would mean severe injury or death.
“Cai Kun, retreat swiftly, today’s matter the Baihe Family can overlook!”
“Otherwise, face the consequences!”
Someone sternly reprimanded; the power of two people’s tribulations was enormous, Bai Ge was already weakened and struggled to support it, this was beyond his capability.
But just as he issued a warning, Li Xiaobai’s actions made their scalps tingle.
That youth who originally lay on the ground suddenly used both arms and legs to support his body with an extremely bizarre post, his back facing the ground, twisting his limbs and rapidly crawling toward their location.
The hair on their bodies stood on end: “Damn, this thing is crawling over, he wants to draw us into the Heavenly Tribulation!”
