Chapter 402 Shi Kang Survives Disaster_1
This instant, the sky lit up with a brilliant silver light, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.
Below the expansive thunderclouds, a mighty Gang Wind swept across the land, sending vast amounts of sand and stone flying into the air.
At this moment, under Lin Shihua's control, the Lin Family's Protective Formation's light screen vanished.
Having learned from Ye Pinghai's experience with tribulation, the Lin Family had moved their people out of the clan's territory according to plan, and the Protective Clan Formation had been deactivated before the Heavenly Tribulation descended.
Besides, Lin Xingzhi, along with several Foundation Establishment Stage clansmen, patrolled around the perimeter of Green Bamboo Mountain, on the highest level of alert.
This time, for Lin Shikang to break through to the Golden Core Stage, the Lin Family was not taking any chances; their defense measures were clearly several levels higher than before.
In the valley behind the main peak.
At this time, sensing the roaring Thunder Dragon above, a man in a green robe leapt up, flying from the depths of the valley to the top of a nearby mountain.
Gazing out, the man in the green robe was none other than Lin Shikang.
His expression was solemn, but his eyes bore a strong determination, as if filled with confidence.
After nearly three years of seclusion, he had finally reached this moment.
Lin Shikang had always held a strong determination in his heart, whether for his family or for himself, he had to give it his all.
For this, he had prepared extensively, all to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the family.
He knew very well that if he were to fail, it would not only be difficult for him to survive, but the Lin Family's expectations for hundreds of years would also be delayed.
Understanding this, his eyes were filled with an indomitable spirit.
"Boom... "
As the Thunder Dragon drew near, Lin Shikang waved his sleeve and multiple Law Decrees were cast.
"Buzz buzz buzz... "
A crisp sound emanated, and several Second Order Medium-Quality Defense Artifacts in front of him flashed with light, then flew toward the Thunder Dragon.
Looking over, these Second Order Medium-Quality Artifacts were all different, but the Spiritual Light bursting forth from them showed they were indeed very fine Defense Artifacts.
These protective treasures had all been painstakingly prepared by Lin Shilu over several years, specifically for this tribulation.
Although they were only of Second Order Medium Quality, they were rare treasures for an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator and could easily be sold for tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, a case of demand outstripping supply.
Yet, even so, these Defense Artifacts were no more than a drop in the ocean compared to the Threefold Lightning Tribulation.
What he had used now was merely the worst at his disposal, treated as disposable items.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared; he still had some Defense Artifacts of this kind on him, which he could use later.
As quickly as it came, a thunderous explosion echoed.
The several Second Order Medium-Defense Artifacts could only block the Thunder Dragon for a moment before being blasted into fragments.
However, Lin Shikang, who had already witnessed the force of the Heavenly Tribulation, was well-prepared in his heart.
The instant the three Second Order Medium-Defense Artifacts shattered, he quickly brought out two Second Order Superior Quality Defensive Talismans, rapidly transforming them into two barriers in front of him.
The previously weakened Thunder Dragon unsurprisingly shattered the barriers, yet the remaining force was exceedingly limited, and Lin Shikang easily dispersed it with a single strike.
The force of the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation was not strong; Lin Shikang resolved it with some defensive measures.
As the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation dissipated, the thunderclouds once again began to condense becoming even more terrifying, as if angered by Lin Shikang's actions.
By now, Lin Shikang's expression had grown more serious, watching the newly brewing thunder, seemingly intent on annihilating it right there.
But he was not panicked; he knew of the break between thunder strikes and was acutely aware of the horror of the Thunder Tribulation Force, knowing there was no retreat.
Today, he would either succeed in withstanding the tribulation and step into the Golden Core Stage or perish on the spot.
With this knowledge, he was psychologically prepared and possessed the courage for a do-or-die struggle.
Seizing the break, he quickly took out two elixirs he had prepared and swallowed them to replenish the True Yuan he had just consumed.
Before long, the thunderclouds seemed to have reached a peak, conjuring an even more colossal Thunder Dragon.
This Thunder Dragon appeared formidable, with its gnashing teeth and claws, radiating intense anger.
"Rumble rumble..."
A thunderous roar ensued, and the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation arrived as expected.
For a time, the entire land trembled, and the dark sky brightened with the lightning.
At this time, the Thunder Dragon conjured by the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation appeared thick and strong, its body covered with countless crackling arcs of electricity, sizzling as they went.
As the Thunder Dragon emerged, if a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator even slightly touched it, they would likely be annihilated on the spot.
Watching the terrifying Thunder Dragon's furious approach, not only was it incredibly fast, but the force and pressure were clearly several times more ferocious than the first.
At this time, Lin Shikang confronted the sky, watching the Thunder Dragon descend above his head, fierce Gang Wind causing his robe to flap loudly.
In this moment, he keenly felt a sharp pain across his body, caused by the blade-like Gang Wind.
And the formidable pressure of the thundercloud seemed intent on devouring him.
Under such terrifying pressure, even a Cultivator appeared very insignificant.
Then, faced with such massive pressure, he, a Cultivator on the cusp of the Golden Core Stage, found his body involuntarily bending forward.
