<h4>Chapter 396 - Horrifying Grand Tribtion</h4>
<i>Boom, crack, crack!</i>
After Chen Fan''s dantian''s ''core nucleus'' condensed, a golden aura burst within him.
This made the tribtion clouds above him churn fiercely, rapidly expanding to a width of two and a half kilometers.
<i>C, c!</i>
<i>Crackle!</i>
Lightning dragons frolicked within the clouds, gathering tremendous power.
The tribtion would descend once Chen Fan’s golden core wasplete to destroy it and turn him into tribtion ash.
<i>Hiss!</i>
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as Chen Fan’s tribtion clouds expanded to be two and a half kilometers wide.
“Heavens, is this for real? How terrifying is Chen Fan’s golden core tribtion?”
“Do you guys know the width of Senior Brother Duan Jingtian''s tribtion clouds during his golden core tribtion?”
“I heard tribtion clouds for the Core Formation realm are usually about half a kilometer wide. And talented martial artists can see one as wide as a kilometer. It takes a genius among geniuses to reach two and a half kilometers.”
“Wasn’t Senior Brother Duan Jingtian’s tribtion cloud three kilometers wide? It was terrifying. It wasn''t just any Extreme Lightning Universe Tribtion; it was a unique variant. Lightning divine bells descended, aiming to shatter Senior Brother Duan Jingtian’s golden core. However, being the heavenly genius he is, he passed through the tribtion effortlessly, without relying on any treasures.”
“If you put it that way, it does seem that Chen Fan''s tribtion clouds seem less formidable than Senior Brother Duan Jingtian''s.”
“True. Chen Fan’s talent is monstrous, but when measured against Senior Brother Duan Jingtian, it’s a bitcking.”
“But, look! Chen Fan’s tribtion cloud is still expanding. Wait... isn’t that already three kilometers?!”
“......”
Everyone paused what they were doing to gaze at Chen Fan’s mountaintop.
They witnessed a terrifying tribtion; it seemed as if a lightning demon would suddenly descend and obliterate the world below.
“Heavens, Duan Jingtian’s tribtion cloud was three kilometers wide, and that made him a once-in-a-century monstrous genius in the Great Chu Empire. Chen Fan’s tribtion clouds have reached the same level. Is he as talented as Duan Jingtian?!”
“I don’t think so. His cloud is still expanding. It’s already three and a half kilometers wide, surpassing Duan Jingtian!”
“Terrifying. Incredibly terrifying! If he ovees this golden core tribtion, his future in martial arts will undoubtedly be brilliant!”
“Unfortunately, even if he seeds, he might be the shortest-lived holy disciple in our sect’s history. Don’t forget that he has a life-and-death match against Duan Jingtian. He’ll die for sure!”
“It’s too soon to talk about that. We should wait until after he sessfully passes his golden core tribtion andpletes his holy disciple mission.”
“......”
The holy disciples stared wide-eyed. Looks of disbelief could be seen in their gazes, shocked to the core. They were seasoned holy disciples, having held their positions longer than Duan Jingtian
However, Duan Jingtian was too much of a genius. His cultivation improved rapidly, quickly surpassing them to a point where they struggled to keep up.
......
On the mountain peak, Chen Fan tried his best to advance to the next level.
Eighty percent!
Eighty-five percent!
Ny percent!
Ny-three percent!
The illusory core within Chen Fan’s dantian had almostpletely solidified, radiating a resplendent golden light. True primeval surged, resembling golden stars.
As Chen Fan''s golden core nearedpletion, his tribtion clouds expanded from two and a half kilometers to finally four kilometers, still showing no signs of halting their growth.
Just as the onlookers were absorbed in the ever-expanding tribtion clouds, another unexpected change urred.
Thunder roared within the clouds, and numerous war gods materialized.
Human-shaped lightning!
In addition, various treasures with lightning attributes emerged amidst the lightning shes.
A lightningmp ascended slowly, its brilliance causing nearby mountains to nearly crumble.
A lightning divine bell appeared, and its toll ruptured the space. The sounds of that bell could jolt mountains into nothingness and shatter cultivators’ souls.
A lightning spear materialized from the void, slicing through the air and ready to strike at any moment.
A lightning pagoda oscited with a powerful rumble, ready to suppress and kill Chen Fan.
A lightning heavenly pce also appeared in the skies, seemingly inhabited by celestial warriors andmanders, ready to descend with formidable force to take down Chen Fan.
Every cultivator striving to reach the Core Formation realm was essentially challenging thews of heaven and earth. So, thews of heaven and earth rained down heavy punishment upon them.
This wasmon knowledge among cultivators, so many people would kill those wicked martial artists before undergoing their tribtion, umting karma to offset the intensity of their tribtion a bit and improve their chances of sess.
Chen Fan had killed many, yet his golden core tribtion was exceptionally terrifying. His umted karma was almost insignificant in front of this grand tribtion.
The tribtion clouds disyed a myriad of phenomena.
Within a five-kilometer radius of the mountain peak, the air was disced, creating a vacuum.
Lightning filled the sky; electrical phenomena were everywhere. Even a phenomenon of star-like objects falling as rain emerged, with clusters of spherical lightning crashing down like colossal meteors.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and ck-jawed. They muttered incredulously as if their very souls were being pulled from their bodies.
“Ancient Tribtion Lamp!”
“Lightning Divine Bell!”
“God of Thunder Tribtion Spear!”
“Duke of Thunder Pagoda!”
“And that Thunder Punishment Heavenly Pce!”
“Heavens, is he a heavenly god or an exiled immortal banished to the mortal realm? How could so many phenomena appear? Is he even human? He is only advancing to the Core Formation realm, but he has already drawn so many terrifying tribtions. These terrifying cmities would only appear when advancing to the Divine Nascent realm or beyond!
“This is astonishing, simply astonishing. If he still advances to the Core Formation realm, it will be nothing short of a miracle!"
“Senior Brother Duan Jingtian’s tribtion only had the Ancient Tribtion Lamp and the Lightning Divine Bell. What makes him so much more talented than Senior Brother Duan Jingtian?”
“How horrifying. With a tribtion this intense, he will surely die!”
The spectators were utterly shaken, feeling as though they had glimpsed paradise and lost all im to their own lives.
<i>Rumble!</i>
Suddenly, everyone watched as Chen Fan''s tribtion clouds expanded rapidly to five kilometers wide.
The entire space shook violently. The mountains below started cracking open under this terrifying pressure, as if on the brink of copsing under the weight of heaven and earth.
“Five kilometers! The tribtion clouds are now five kilometers wide! Heavens, I’m afraid there has never been and never will be another person like him, not even on the entire Tianwu Continent!”
The crowd’s eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.
“Alright, alright, alright!”
Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes. Fierce light shot out of them as he quickly got up on his feet. His robes billowed in the wind, his face brimming with confidence as he burst intoughter.
“With so many phenomena manifesting to challenge me, my journey to the Core Formation realm sure feels refreshing. I am just built different. I am a legend unmatched throughout history!”
Chen Fan flew up and stood in the air, facing the baptism of the boundless lightning.
“Come on! Today, I’ll advance to the Core Formation realm. Let the heavenly tribtion be even fiercer. Laws of heaven and earth, unleash your might! Let me advance with apletely unprecedented metamorphosis!”
