第两千二百五十二章 渡劫异变

"Pfft"

The demon snake fairy spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, she had only been affected and not faced with the peril of a heavenly tribulation herself; otherwise, this would have not just injured her but driven her mad. However, at this moment, her situation was no better. After dispersing the last layer of defense, the endless bolts of lightning and flames immediately engulfed her.

The sky was filled with electric arcs, and waves of heat spread out continuously in all directions. The demon qi around seemed to converge on this place like a swarm of bees.

A black-red aura appeared out of nowhere.

Outside the aura, countless mysterious talismans flickered into existence, rotating and swallowing each other. Inside it, there was a continuous rumbling sound akin to thunder.

The demon snake fairy did not know if she would live or die, but this time, even if she didn't perish, she would still be severely injured.

Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he leisurely waited for the outcome in place.

A cooked duck couldn't fly away. At this point, the situation was basically set.

Turning his head, Lin Xuan looked at another direction.

This demon snake fairy had just happened to be there. His true purpose for coming here was the earth rhino dragon before him. After the commotion earlier, it could no longer successfully pass through the heavenly tribulation.

Lin Xuan did not care if this monster lived or died, but he couldn't let it perish under the heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, his efforts would have been in vain.

The scales and skin of the earth rhino dragon were all excellent materials for refining artifacts. Even if Lin Xuan didn't need them, they could be used to exchange for a large amount of crystal treasures.

This was something he had in mind, so he couldn't afford to take on too much responsibility. If the heavenly tribulation truly went awry and led to the monster's destruction, he would have no choice but to intervene.

Of course, there needed to be a limit; otherwise, it would backfire. Lin Xuan did not want to try his luck like the demon snake fairy.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Silver light shone from his eyes as he was enveloped by countless bolts of lightning and flames. If he didn't use the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, it would be impossible to see clearly.

"Aaaah!"

Almost simultaneously, a deafening roar echoed through the air. Lin Xuan frowned, his eyelids twitching violently as his expression turned very serious.

"Is…?"

The entire valley had been reduced to molten rock… no, more accurately, it was covered by lava. The lava was at least several feet deep, giving the impression of a lake—lava lake.

At this moment, the earth rhino dragon was submerged in the lava. However, compared to its massive size, the lava only reached up to its knees.

Suddenly, the lava began to churn, waves rising high into the air one after another.

Following that, a gale-force wind swept around the earth rhino dragon's body, pulling all the lava with it. It looked like a tornado had suddenly risen from the ground, enveloping the entire body of the earth rhino dragon.

And this tornado was made entirely of lava.

All the bolts of lightning and flames were pushed aside, while the volume of the earth rhino dragon rapidly decreased.

"Could it be…?" Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised. In such a short time, he had already witnessed too many miraculous things from ancient texts.

Firstly, there were consecutive talismans.

Now, could this heavenly tribulation anomaly even occur?

A heavenly tribulation anomaly meant that only when a monster faced the heavenly tribulation would it encounter such phenomena. The danger was immense; if one couldn't pass through, they would perish. However, in rare cases, powerful monsters might unleash their true blood to undergo mutation and become stronger than before.

This strength was different from level advancement; instead, it made the monster itself more robust. For example, a monster of the same tribulation peak with an ancient savage heritage would be much stronger than ordinary ones.

"I remember those two demons said that this earth rhino dragon originally had some bloodline of a demon dragon. It must have unleashed its true blood in life and death."

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead as he formulated a reasonable explanation.

Such results were not what he had anticipated.

"Aaaah!"

The fierce roar echoed again, deafening. The bolts of lightning that struck the earth rhino dragon were repelled. Originally, it was bound by an electric net, but with its body shrinking, itsdemon power expanded exponentially. The net could no longer hold it and tore into pieces.

Lin Xuan's expression turned serious. It seemed this earth rhino dragon had benefited from misfortune; in life and death, it had unleashed its potential. Based on the results, it might truly pass through the heavenly tribulation.

Lin Xuan's guess was correct. With a roar of anger, the earth rhino dragon raised its head high, opened its blood-filled maw, and shot out an intense beam of light that struck the heavens with a thunderous sound.

The endless clouds of the heavenly tribulation couldn't withstand it; they were swept away. The originally gloomy sky became clear again.

Despite expecting such results, Lin Xuan was still stunned by how the earth rhino dragon swept through the heavenly tribulation so forcefully.

His eyes fixed on the valley as the opponent's aura rapidly increased.

A terrifying pressure descended from above, and it had advanced to the spirit division realm.

Due to its bloodline, although just promoted, it was far more powerful than a typical early spirit division existence. It could be said that it was no less formidable than the ancient demons of the former Heavenly Corpse Sect.

As the smoke cleared, the earth rhino dragon revealed its true form, much smaller than before, with a body length of only over three meters. Its entire body was covered in scales, and its appearance remained unchanged.

However, the aura of a spirit division existence was evident.

On the other side,

A sigh echoed through the air as the demon snake fairy's face showed relief. Just now, she had almost perished. Fortunately, her luck was good; at the critical moment, the earth rhino dragon passed through the heavenly tribulation successfully, sweeping away all the clouds of the heavenly tribulation. She thus escaped danger and was relieved.

Despite surviving by chance, the cost to her was severe. Not only did she have almost no remaining magical power, but it could be described as severely injured.

The heavenly tribulation wasn't easy to endure; just being able to stay alive was already considered good luck.

It was all due to that cunning fellow, Lin Xuan. If not for him, she wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

Furious, she couldn't let him go. Although her remaining magical power was scarce, there were still talismans bestowed by the Saint Ancestor. The activation of these talismans would require little magical power. No matter what, he must pay for his actions and suffer consequences.
