Chapter 3195 Crisis of Life and Death

Long Chen's chest was pierced through. Black lightning still lingered on top of the wound. That sinister aura gave even Bai Zhantang and the others chills.

This was a kind of unknown power. How could such a thing appear within a heavenly tribulation?

However, Long Chen's expression was still completely calm as he faced those black lightning swords. He didn't show the slightest panic. Bai Xiaole's mother now understood why he said that he was very familiar with this.

Long Chen's lightning-covered blade slashed the black swords repeatedly. With every clash, ripples would spread that shattered the other lightning swords.

Even peak rank runic swords were nothing in front of those black swords. Those black lightning swords seemed to have come from hell. They were sinister and domineering. It seemed that they wouldn't rest until Long Chen was slain.

Furthermore, every blow was incredibly heavy. Every blow required all of Long Chen's power. Cracks appeared all over his body.

Fortunately, the primal chaos space was filled with Wood Foundation Divine Trees that offered him an enormous amount of life energy. He quickly healed.

It went without saying that the Wood Foundation Divine Trees were truly powerful. Even injuries of the Heavenly Daos could be instantly healed. Without them, Long Chen would have died already.

The void shuddered. Another black lightning sword appeared. The three black swords weaved through the air, repeatedly striking Long Chen. No matter what he did, he was unable to break them.

Everyone's hearts clenched. If those black swords didn't break, then considering that they were in the heavenly tribulation, they had an unending supply of energy. But Long Chen would run out of energy sooner or later.

The three black swords danced around him. Long Chen fought intensely against them. As for the other lightning swords, he no longer had time to bother with them. As long as they didn't strike him in his vitals, he let them strike him.

He needed all of his attention on those black swords. Even though the swords containing rank seven runes could pierce his skin, they weren't able to pose a mortal threat to him. He only had to be a bit more careful of the peak rank seven-colored runes and avoid being struck in his vital parts.

As for rank six swords and below, they could be ignored. But even then, there were too many rank seven and peak rank lightning swords. They repeatedly injured him.

Anyone else would dream of obtaining a peak rank rune. However, those Heavenly Dao runes were now the swords trying to take his life.

The higher-ups of the academy didn't know if this was simply how his tribulation should have been, or if it was due to him continuously provoking the Heavenly Daos, causing them to unleash this heavenly punishment. In any case, they had never seen such a terrifying tribulation.

Furthermore, they only dared to watch. They didn't dare to even attempt to record it. That might be instantly sensed by the Heavenly Daos. Even if it wasn't punished immediately, it may cause karmic retributions for them later. It might even implicate the karmic luck of their families, resulting in their family line coming to an end.

Such a heavenly tribulation could not be recorded. Anyone who tried would suddenly start to encounter all kinds of misfortunes. They definitely wouldn't have a good ending, and anyone tied to them might also be affected.

Thus, such a thing could only be transmitted through word of mouth. As time passed, such a thing would become a story that people doubted the veracity of.

This black lightning seemed to be some kind of taboo. They only dared to look. They didn't dare to even spread word of this, afraid of it bringing some kind of karma.

Suddenly, another black bolt appeared in the air. Just as Long Chen was fighting the first three black swords, the fourth one slashed onto Long Chen's body with no warning at all. Long Chen was almost cut in two. Blood flew through the air. His abdomen was almost emptied.

Bai Shishi and the others covered their mouths, almost crying out. Long Chen was just a bit off from dying.

"How close." Long Chen's heart shook. Fortunately, he had been prepared for this, and had had Lei Long place a layer of lightning over his bones. This layer of lightning was black. It was the power that Lei Long had only just now started to absorb by blocking the attacks of these black swords.

Long Chen quickly drew out the energy of the Wood Foundation Divine Trees to heal. But afterwards, his expression changed.

This time, his wound was too severe. The Wood Foundation Divine Trees were starting to show signs of withering. In other words, any more life energy he extracted might kill them.

If he took another wound like that, it might take all their remaining energy to recover from it. Then it would be difficult to escape his death.

"I can't continue like this."

Long Chen felt an unprecedented feeling of danger. He would die if he continued like this.

"Lei Long, help out!" Long Chen shouted inside. As one black sword flew over, Long Chen swung his saber, blocking it. At the same time, a black lightning rune appeared on his left palm. He snatched the sword.

The moment that he grabbed the black sword, the void shuddered. Long Chen's arm shuddered. The flesh of his arm was blown off all the way to the bone.

There were countless black runes flowing on top of his bones forming chains that bound the black sword to his hand.

In that instant, the will of the Heavenly Daos poured into his mind-sea. The gushing power tried to overwhelm his mind-sea and blow it apart.

Just then, the Divine Gate in his mind-sea opened. The Divine Gate Star blazed as if it had been disturbed by the black lightning. The mysterious energy pouring into his mind-sea was absorbed by the Divine Gate Star.

At the same time, Long Chen's FengFu, Alioth, Life Fate, Enlightenment Palace, and Nethergate Stars also lit up. Every star had a black lightning rune appear on top of them.

Following that, six stars appeared behind Long Chen, shattering heaven and earth. An irresistible power erupted, shattering all the swords in the air.

However, after a single flash, those six stars vanished without a trace. It was as if it was nothing more than an illusion.

As for the black sword, it escaped his hold. Long Chen felt like his body had changed, but he was also unable to tell what that change was.

"Lei Long!"

Long Chen suddenly formed hand seals. A whirlpool appeared on top of his hand.

"Lightning Summoning Art!"

The shattered swords left lightning runes remaining in the air. They were instantly sucked into Long Chen's lightning whirlpool. At the core, a lightning mark gradually grew brighter.

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar rang out. A giant lightning dragon appeared within the world, emitting endless dragon might.
