Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

```

Feeling the power of the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation, it was clear that it was extremely formidable, far beyond what the First Layer of Thunder Tribulation could compare to.

Facing such a terrifying force of Thunder Tribulation, Lin Shikang's expression was solemn, and the Mana within his whole body ran to its utmost limit.

As abundant True Yuan circulated through the meridians in his body, he stood with his back straight, his expression tinged with a hint of madness.

He was well aware of his own predicament; confronting such a situation, he had to give it his all in order to safely get through this life-and-death crisis.

In such dire straits, Lin Shikang dared not be careless, nor did he dare to hold anything back.

In haste, he slapped his storage bag at his waist, and several Defense Artifacts flew out from his hand, quickly transforming into a number of barriers, firmly blocking above his head.

The instant the Defense Artifacts fully deployed, the Thunder Dragon above his head descended in a flash, directly bombarding them.

"Bang bang bang..."

A succession of explosive sounds rang out, only to see the shields and barriers formed by the Defense Artifacts instantly shatter, eventually turning into bits of stardust scattering across the sky.

At the same time, the powerful wave created by the Thunder Dragon breaking through these barriers swept over, tossing Lin Shikang around violently.

After he barely stabilized his stance, Lin Shikang's complexion paled, blood welled up unstoppably within him, and a trickle of fresh blood couldn't help but spill from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he looked up to see the Thunder Dragon roaring down unceasingly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Seeing this, Lin Shikang's brow furrowed deeply, his face flashing with a thick shade of wariness.

Even though he had been somewhat mentally prepared beforehand, he still hadn't expected the power of the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation to be so terrifying.

After all, the Second Order Defense Artifacts he had just used were of pretty good quality, much better than the artifacts used in the first round.

Apart from that, among these Defense Artifacts, there was also one Superior Second Order item.

Even with so many Defense Artifacts activated at the same time, depleting much of his Mana, with such defensive power, he should have been able to withstand a hit from a true Golden Core Cultivator without any problem.

Yet even so, these artifacts barely resisted the Thunder Dragon for a fleeting moment before they were easily shattered by it.

Such destructive power was completely unstoppable.

And he himself had also been injured by that formidable force.

Now, having already sustained some injuries and having used up nearly half of his Mana, he still hadn't passed the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation.

Considering the fact that the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation was already this horrifying, it was truly hard to imagine how terrifying the Third Layer of Thunder Tribulation would be.

It probably would be many times stronger!

However, now was not the time to think about such things, as the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation was not yet over.

What was most important at the moment was naturally to resist the continued assaults of the Thunder Dragon.

Only by surviving the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation would he have the qualification to experience the terrifying power of the Third Layer of Thunder Tribulation.

Understanding this, Lin Shikang forced himself to calm down.

Then, in his hurried state, he flicked his fingers, summoning two red jade pendants to shield himself in front.

These two Blood-red Jade Pendants were rare Defense Artifacts, also one of the treasures collected by the family for many years and stored in the Family Treasure Vault.

Back then, the family had expended a lot of manpower and resources to finally obtain these items.

Now, in order to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, over ninety percent of the defensive treasures accumulated by the family over the past centuries had been brought with him.

And among them, these two Blood-red Jade Pendants were the most top-tier Defense Artifacts, not only a whole grade higher but also several categories superior in quality compared to those previous Defense Artifacts.

With these items for defense, the Thunder Dragon, which had already weakened quite a bit, should not have an easy time succeeding.

Nevertheless, this was just Lin Shikang's presumption, and he couldn't be sure of the actual outcome.

Under his watchful gaze, the Thunder Dragon came crashing down, colliding head-on with the two Blood-red Jade Pendants.

"Bang bang..."

Two thunderous explosions erupted, and the entire Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory seemed to tremble slightly.

In that explosive instant, two dazzling orbs of light burst forth in the sky, blinding like the searing sun.

```

Immediately after, two huge mushroom clouds appeared in mid-air and surged a few times before shooting straight into the sky.

At the same time, the shockwave created by the explosion, with Lin Shikang's overhead space as the epicenter, rapidly expanded in all directions.

As the Thunder Dragon dissipated, the explosion produced a strong gale that swept toward every direction.

The power of this gale was also immense, many peaks where Lin Shikang stood were directly sheared off by the gale, leaving behind bald mountaintops.

As for Lin Shikang, he was right in the center of the explosion.

Because the range of the explosion was so vast, the gale swept in with incredible speed. Even he could not avoid it and had to withstand the powerful wind head on.

However, the force of the gale produced by the Second Layer of Thunder Tribulation was just too strong.

He managed to resist for only a breath before being toppled by the gale. Like a snapped kite, he was sent flying dozens of yards away, before he heavily crashed to the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

After struggling for a bit, he staggered to his feet, and then a mouthful of vital blood spurted out, making his complexion turn extremely pale.

The strength of this gale was really beyond imagination.

Although he succeeded in holding it off, many parts of his body were cracked and torn, and the blood within him was chaotically surging.

At this moment, Lin Shikang, enduring the acute pain in his body, took out two healing elixirs and swallowed them all at once.

His actions were meant to seize the precious time during the brewing lull of the thunderclouds to recover some injuries as best as possible, to face the last layer of Thunder Tribulation.

After all, the Thirdfold Lightning Tribulation was bound to be much stronger than the second, perhaps by many times over.

Thus, at the moment, he could not afford to worry about whether these precious elixirs were wasted. As long as they could restore some of his injuries, his chances of surviving would increase.

Soon, the consumed elixirs began to have some effect, and his pale face finally regained some color.

"Boom, rumble..."

In the dark clouds above the canyon, lightning continued to churn.

At this time, the range enveloped by the thunderclouds expanded continuously as time passed.

As far as the eye could see, the force of this lightning had already rapidly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, it had brewed into even thicker bolts of lightning.

At this rate, in at most the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, the Third Layer of Thunder Tribulation would surely descend on schedule.

At this very moment, on a peak behind the main mountain.

Lin Tianming and a few others were on the mountaintop, their eyes firmly fixed on the direction of the canyon, not willing to miss a single detail.

They were not only watching Lin Shikang's tribulation process and drawing lessons from it, so as to have some mental preparation for the future, but they also genuinely hoped for his success.

After all, if he succeeded, the Lin Family's overall strength would greatly increase, and their ability to face crises would be much enhanced.

Consequently, the members of the Lin Family paid close attention, fearful of missing anything.

And although this half-quarter of an hour was not long, for all of them, it felt eternally prolonged.

During these moments, they had a clear view of Lin Shikang's entire process of surviving two layers of Heavenly Tribulation.

Feeling the terrifying force of the Thunder Tribulation that seemed capable of leveling the land, including Ye Pinghai who had experienced it once, everyone's expressions were solemn, and they felt a cold sweat for Lin Shikang internally.

If even the Golden Core Stage Ye Pinghai felt so, it goes without saying for the Lin Family members, whose faces were the picture of seriousness.

Fortunately, after two folds of the tribulation, Lin Shikang appeared to be not seriously injured, and his strength was still at its peak.

Furthermore, many precious treasures that the Lin Family had prepared for him in advance, as well as several valuable items, were still unused.

With this in mind, even if the Third Layer of Thunder Tribulation was going to be terrifying, Lin Shikang pouring all his efforts into it, the possibility of success was not absent.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming and others' expressions finally eased quite a bit.

"Boom, rumble..."

The dark clouds rolled ceaselessly, and the hitherto silent Thunder Tribulation seemed to be ready to descend once again.
