Chapter 174 All Fear Stems from Insufficient Firepower
Looking at the sky above, hundreds of terrifying lightning bolts were falling towards their location.
All five men wore expressions of horror.
All their previous deductions seemed so pale and powerless under the terrifying lightning tribulations of hundreds of bolts.
Without a second thought, the four elders quickly and tightly protected Wang Yuanjie, their precious holy son, in the center.
They, in turn, unleashed their most powerful defensive magical artifacts.
The four defensive magic artifacts, all of which were of the seventh rank and of superior quality, instantly formed a huge defensive shield interwoven with four colors, firmly enveloping the five people within it.
The four elders attempted to use this method to resist the overwhelming and devastating power of the heavens.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hundreds of lightning bolts fell like a torrential downpour.
The bombardment continued relentlessly against the defensive shield erected by the four elders.
The residual power of the lightning tribulation instantly turned the vast land within a radius of thousands of miles into a barren, scorched wasteland.
The entire earth seemed to tremble violently under this world-ending lightning punishment.
This scene is as if the end of the world is about to arrive.
……
Not far away.
Lin Hanzhou watched this scene quietly.
Violent lightning bolts struck him continuously, but they had no effect on him.
As the world's only "chosen one," it's natural for him to have such privileges.
Beneath the black cloak, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
This is his second plan—firepower coverage!
In his view, all fear stemmed from insufficient firepower.
As long as he can summon enough lightning tribulations, he doesn't need to think about any convoluted schemes or tricks.
Just use the purest firepower to suppress them and completely crush them.
If you can't kill it, keep hacking at it until it's dead.
Unfortunately, even though he gave the world consciousness the order to "summon the lightning tribulation with all his might," it was all in vain.
This can only summon a mere few hundred peak seventh-tier lightning tribulations at a time.
Moreover, hundreds of these lightning bolts cannot fall simultaneously, otherwise it would cause great damage to the Tianyuan Realm.
At most, only a dozen or even dozens of them can fall at the same time.
Such restrictions undoubtedly gave those five people a precious chance to catch their breath.
They could have the two elders take turns maintaining the four defensive artifacts.
The other two elders were able to seize the time to take pills and restore their spiritual power.
This completes a perfect assembly line operation.
They actually withstood hundreds of terrifying lightning strikes without sustaining a scratch.
The protective shield formed by the four defensive artifacts only showed some minor, insignificant cracks.
These tiny cracks are even slowly healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, Lin Hanzhou frowned slightly.
He clearly underestimated these four peak seventh-order cultivators from the "Taiyan Holy Land".
Beings of this caliber are already preparing for the even more terrifying eighth-order Tribulation Realm.
For this reason, they have long prepared many special means to counter lightning tribulations.
For example, when they were crafting defensive magical artifacts, they added a lot of materials that could withstand lightning, making them extremely resistant to lightning.
It is precisely because of this that they were able to withstand so many terrifying lightning tribulations, enough to easily kill any seventh-level peak cultivator, by relying on their defensive magical artifacts.
Although if this continues, the four elders will eventually die from exhaustion of their spiritual energy.
After all, his lightning tribulation was almost endless, and the opponent's defensive magic artifacts and spiritual power were being consumed rapidly.
But inside the protective shield, they have an absolutely safe and free space.
They had ample time to build a teleportation array within the protective shield that would allow them to return to the Heavenly Profound Realm at any time.
Now, it seems they have begun construction.
Therefore, Lin Hanzhou had to find a way to keep them busy.
We absolutely cannot give them the opportunity to safely and peacefully build a teleportation array.
He quickly came up with a brilliant idea.
Lin Hanzhou felt that his use of lightning tribulation was still too rudimentary; he could only mindlessly summon lightning tribulation to strike people.
He could try to bring these rigid lightning tribulations to life.
……
Wang Yuanjie and his group of five.
The four elders took turns activating four powerful defensive magical artifacts to block out all the terrifying lightning tribulations that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
"Your Holiness, how long will it take to complete the interdimensional teleportation array?"
An elder who was rushing to recover his spiritual power asked Wang Yuanjie, who was frantically inscribing a mysterious array on the ground with a special golden liquid.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanjie pondered for a moment and gave a rough estimate.
"I should be able to complete the drawing of this seventh-order teleportation array within about four hours."
Hearing this answer, the other elders all breathed a sigh of relief.
If it doesn't exceed four hours, that's fine.
At this point, they can still hold on completely.
At the same time, they couldn't help but marvel once again at their Holy Son's extraordinary talent.
The other party not only perfectly inherited the Grand Elder's heavenly lightning attribute mutated spiritual root.
He also inherited the Grand Elder's unparalleled talent in formations, which was equally outstanding in the Holy Land.
Despite having only a sixth-order Void Returning Realm cultivation level, he was able to set up a seventh-order high-difficulty array that even a seventh-order array master would find incredibly complex.
This is truly a genius, and he is worthy of his title of "Holy Son".
However, at that moment, for some unknown reason, the sound of lightning striking outside the protective barrier abruptly stopped.
Upon sensing this situation, all five people showed surprise, but it quickly turned into joy.
They knew that this likely meant the opponent was no longer able to unleash the lightning tribulation.
After all, the sheer number of lightning tribulations the opponent unleashed was undeniable; it was definitely not something a mere sixth-tier cultivator could produce.
The only explanation is that the other party just used a large number of lightning tribulation talismans.
This type of talisman is created by collecting and storing lightning tribulations from heaven and earth, thus using it as a powerful means of destruction.
The fact that no more lightning strikes are now clearly indicates that the opponent has completely exhausted their lightning tribulation talismans.
In this situation, the other party is like a fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy.
But their joy was short-lived; they were stunned by the terrifying sight in the sky.
Above them, hundreds of mythical creatures made of dark purple lightning opened their eyes, like high-ranking gods looking down at the five tiny figures below.
These mythical creatures come in various forms, including the majestic Azure Dragon, the proud and elegant Vermilion Bird, and the powerful and domineering White Tiger, among others.
This is precisely the mythical creature that Lin Hanzhou created by bringing the lightning tribulation to life.
