872 Chapter 872 Challenging the heavens

If anyone could witness the scene that had just taken place within Shun Long’s spiritual sea, their expressions would most likely be ones of shock, fear, or disbelief, or even all of these emotions at once.

The white bolt of heavenly tribulation that could obliterate the spiritual sea of even a peak rank 9 Dao King had been swallowed by Shun Long’s spiritual sea in a single instant, leaving absolutely nothing behind. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

In reality, forget about most peak rank 9 Dao Kings, even an early-stage Dao Emperor would have to utilize their entire spiritual strength to resist that bolt of heavenly tribulation head-on.

And yet, Shun Long only had to expend a mere 20 percent of his spiritual strength to deal with it.

Of course, Liu Mei and the others weren’t too surprised in their hearts when they saw the scene in front of them, since they already knew how monstrous Shun Long’s spiritual strength really was!

After all, the 4 of them already knew that although Shun Long was still just a peak rank 3 Dao King, his spiritual strength had long since surpassed most early-stage and middle-stage Dao Emperors, and was already on par with most peak rank 6 Dao Emperors. In fact, even a peak rank 6 Dao Emperor like Xingyi’s own master, Elder Mao Jing, the Elder responsible for the ‘Refinement Hall’ and a renowned star-rank alchemist, could no longer beat Shun Long in terms of pure spiritual strength!

However, just as Bai Longtian and the others were about to heave out a sigh of relief believing that the heavenly tribulation had come to an end while Shun Long was still unscathed, the black thundercloud above their heads started to rumble for a second time, before sparks of white lightning began to gather around its surface once again.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

Staring at the 2 white-colored lightning bolts that were being rapidly formed at the same time, Xingyi and the rest froze for a moment before grave expressions quickly appeared on everyone’s faces.

Just a single one of these white bolts was enough to obliterate the spiritual sea of a peak rank 9 Dao King and even threaten an early-stage Dao Emperor who took this head-on, and yet two of them were now attempting to descend at the same time?

”This is too much! Even if it’s brother Shun, he will still be in danger if he has to face 2 of these lightning bolts simultaneously!”Bai Longtian muttered in a worried voice as he stared at the 2 bolts of heavenly tribulation in the sky.

Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, and Xingyi all nodded their heads without saying anything, afraid that they would end up breaking Shun Long’s concentration if they did so, but it was clear from the solemn looks on their faces that they all understood how much danger this heavenly tribulation truly posed to him!

Even if Shun Long’s spiritual sea could already rival that of a middle-stage Dao Emperor, Liu Mei and the others understood that it would still end up suffering some serious internal injuries if Shun Long took these 2 bolts of heavenly tribulation head-on like the last one!

And yet, this wasn’t even what worried Liu Mei and the rest the most. After all, even if Shun Long injured his spiritual sea, he would still be able to recover it with the help of rank 6 and rank 7 medicinal pills after some time. Even if that process took a few months or even years, there was no doubt that he would be able to do so in the end. After all, his alchemy skills had already surpassed the realm of a 1-star alchemist long ago.

What truly worried Jiang Chen and the others however, was that they didn’t know whether there were going to be even more bolts of heavenly tribulation after these 2. If that was the case, then forget about the spiritual sea of a peak rank 6 Dao Emperor, even a late-stage Dao Emperor’s spiritual sea may not be able to handle it.

”AWOOOOO!”

At the same time that these thoughts coursed through Liu Mei’s and the rest’s minds, Little Silver who was lying on the ground next to Shun Long raised its head and let out a furious roar towards the sky, before it stood up and spread out its bright silver wings, looking like it was ready to charge straight towards the cloud of heavenly tribulation.

At the same time, Shun Long could also sense Little Silver’s agitation and anger that was directed towards the cloud of heavenly tribulation in the sky, and after taking a deep breath, he turned his gaze towards Little Silver and said in a deep voice

”Little Silver, get back!”

The moment it heard Shun Long’s command, Little Silver’s body froze involuntarily, before the black panther turned its head to meet Shun Long’s gaze.

However, Shun Long simply smiled and ignored the pleading as well as determined look in Little Silver’s eyes, as he shook his head and continued

”Just get back! Don’t worry, I can still handle this much!”

Lowering its head, Little Silver threw one last reluctant look at Shun Long that was filled with concern and worry, and after hesitating for a moment, it finally spread its bright silver wings and flapped them once, flying straight towards an empty area just a few hundred meters away from where Shun Long was sitting.

Shun Long could feel a warm feeling sprouting in his heart as he stared at Little Silver’s figure that was about to fight even the heavenly tribulation regardless of any consequences.

In his heart, Shun Long knew that although Little Silver was an adult magic beast and one that could easily trample even peak rank 9 Dao Kings that stood in its path, it was still young and its intelligence was still that of a child’s.

Naturally, Little Silver still viewed Shun Long as its parent and wouldn’t hesitate to protect him from anything that wanted to take his life.

But of course, Shun Long wasn’t planning on letting Little Silver face this Heavenly Tribulation in his stead no matter what. After all, even if Little Silver could somehow succeed in resisting this heavenly tribulation for him, such an action would only end up enraging the heavens even further and would end up summoning another heavenly tribulation soon afterwards. The only way to make it stop was for Shun Long to face it directly.

After he finished speaking, Shun Long then turned his gaze towards the sky to look at the 2 white bolts of heavenly tribulation that had almost finished condensing themselves, and after staying silent for a moment, his lips slowly curved upwards as he said in a mocking manner

”The Heavenly Dao huh…? You must really want to kill me if you are sending out a heavenly tribulation that’s enough to obliterate even early-stage Dao Emperors when I’m only an early-stage Dao King… Come then! Let’s see if this is really enough to destroy my spiritual sea!”

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

In the next moment, it seemed as if the heavens had been directly provoked by Shun Long’s words as the sky rumbled loudly once again, before the 2 white bolts of heavenly tribulation descended simultaneously, falling straight towards Shun Long’s head.

Narrowing his eyes, Shun Long then waved his right hand, taking out a pitch black sword from the foggy space of the ‘Stone of Time’, before he said in a serious but extremely calm voice

”…Monarch’s Domain!”
