Chapter 737 - 737 Crimson Lightning!

Monarch of Time

Shun Long was momentarily stunned when he heard Little Black's words before he fell silent. He had always been curious about his past life, but he didn't want to ask Little Black about it, since he was bound to find everything by himself sooner or later, once his memories returned back to him.

After a brief pause, Little Black then continued speaking

''Of course, geniuses like master who have to face 9 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation are extremely rare, and don't appear once every thousand years, even in the Immortal Dimension.

After all, even Dao Kings who breakthrough to the Dao Emperor realm will only face a single set of 9 bolts of white lightning during their breakthrough.

Of course, this only applies to those Dao Kings who have comprehended common or rare Daos and have used them as their foundational Daos.  As for those Dao Kings who have comprehended unique, or even supreme-level Daos... once they attempt to breakthrough to the Dao Emperor realm, their Heavenly Tribulation will be much worse, and they will have to face crimson lightning instead!

Master, the crimson lightning is the 2nd level of Heavenly Tribulation, and the destructive power inside a single bolt is simply incomparable to even 9 bolts of white lightning.

However... bolts of crimson lightning have never appeared during the Heavenly Tribulation of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Even in the Immortal Dimension, it's unheard of for a Nascent Soul cultivator to face a bolt of crimson lightning during their breakthrough to the Dao King realm!''

This time, Little Black was truly worried.

It was one thing for Shun Long to face a set of nine bolts of white lightning during his breakthrough, but a bolt of crimson lightning was an entirely different matter.

Even peak Dao Kings who had comprehended unique and supreme-level Daos could perish in such a situation!

At the same time that Little Black was mentally speaking to Shun Long, Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and Xingyi, who were standing a distance away from the King's Palace, all stared at this scene in the sky above the palace with grave looks in their eyes.

Although they didn't know what the red lightning represented, even from a distance away, they could still feel the terrifying pressure that was gathering in the sky above the core region of the King's Palace.

They could all sense that this growing pressure had already far surpassed that of the nine bolts of white lightning that Shun Long had just faced!

''Brother Long, you have to be fine...'' Xingyi said in a voice full of concern, while Liu Mei and the rest all stared worriedly at the dillapitated black palace ahead of them.

Shun Long's Heavenly Tribulation had already exceeded what a Nascent Soul cultivator should be normally facing!

Meanwhile, Shun Long who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground inside the core region of the King's Palace had completely focused his attention on the cloud of Heavenly Tribulation above his head.

The crimson bolt of lightning still needed some time to be completely formed, as it kept absorbing the qi around the King's Palace at a horrifying speed.

The sparks of red lightning were gathering towards the center of the massive white thundercloud all at the same time, slowly forming a crimson lightning bolt that seemed to be just as big as the white lightning bolts that Shun Long had just faced a few moments ago.

However, the difference in the aura of this crimson lightning bolt and the white bolts of lightning was simply incomparable.

Even the surrounding peak Dao Kings who laid their eyes on this crimson bolt of lightning could feel their hearts palpitating after sensing its aura.

After taking a deep breath, Shun Long's cultivation at the peak of rank 9 in the Nascent Soul exploded outwards once again, as a bright blue and golden light covered his body for the second time, before Shun Long mumbled in a cold voice

''Crimson lightning? Hasn't been done before? So what? In the end, it's still nothing more than Heavenly Tribulation. How can I possibly die from this?

Time... Siphon!''

The light around Shun Long's body started to turn even brighter as the remaining qi inside his 81 silver-colored balls of qi was sapped in an instant, once again forming a protective cocoon around his body.

Staring at the crimson bolt of lightning that was just a few moments away from being fully formed, Shun Long narrowed his eyes and said a single word

''Come!''

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

It was almost as if the Heavens suddenly responded, as a powerful, defeaning sound was heard from the gigantic cloud of Heavenly Tribulation above the King's Palace, before a crimson lightning bolt that was even thicker than an adult man's waist descended from the skies, heading straight towards Shun Long's head.

The Grand Elder, the Northern Sovereign, and the rest of the surrounding experts, along with the disciples of the major powers of the central region all watched this scene with bated breaths, as the crimson lightning bolt entered the core region of the King's Palace.

A moment later, Shun Long could feel a wave of heavenly pressure approaching him from the skies, before the crimson lightning bolt entered inside his 'Monarch's Domain'.

However, Shun Long noticed that unlike the white-colored bolts of Heavenly Tribulation, this crimson lightning bolt was barely affected by his 'Monarch's Domain', as it kept descending towards him at a terrifying speed.

At that moment, the blue and golden light around Shun Long's body that resembled a cocoon finally erupted outwards, as it moved to block the crimson bolt of Heavenly Tribulation.

The red bolt of Heavenly Tribulation indeed slowed down for a brief second the moment that it collided with the 'Time Siphon', but a moment later, the crimson bolt of lightning actually ignored the restraints of the 'Time Siphon' as it arrived right in front of Shun Long and pierced through his head, forcefully entering inside his spiritual space.
