Xu Nian cursed silently in his heart.
The power of this Heavenly Tribulation was terrifyingly stronger each time.
He feared that even if he did not perish at the hands of an enemy, he would eventually die under this dreadful Heavenly Tribulation.
It was highly likely that this time, he would not be able to escape disaster.
Xu Nian rubbed his arm and transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot up from the sea surface.
This time, he directly put away his shield.
Instead, he took out the Immortal Sword.
Although Xu Nian still could not wield the full power of the Immortal Sword, the power he could muster now was much stronger than before.
The Immortal Sword in Xu Nian's hands hummed incessantly, and a strong Sword Intent emanated from the sword.
With the stirring of this Sword Intent,
the surrounding sea surface instantly flipped over.
A huge vortex formed directly beneath his feet on the sea surface.
The terrifying Sword Intent filled the entire sea.
Even the people on Dark God Island could feel a sharp sword hanging suspended over their hearts.
Xu Nian's eyes, sharp as swords, stared intently above.
The sky was torn apart again.
Another dreadful bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
And this time, upon seeing this lightning, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Because this time it was not a giant snake of lightning, but a column of lightning.
A lightning column as thick as a bucket fell straight from the sky with a speed unseen by Xu Nian in his lifetime.
Xu Nian dared not hesitate in the slightest.
He quickly swung the Immortal Sword in his hand and slashed.
"Mixed Element Slash!"
Upon Xu Nian's loud shout,
a giant Sword Radiance soared into the sky.
It collided fiercely with that lightning column.
A thunderous explosion resounded.
The Sword Radiance and the lightning column collided, producing an immensely loud roaring sound.
Finally, the lightning column exploded.
The lightning turned into a Thunderclap Storm and swept across the entire sea.
Naturally, Xu Nian was also blown away by this terrifying Thunderclap Storm.
Once again, he plunged into the waters.
At this moment, even Dark God Island was attacked by this terrifying storm.
Fortunately, the Dark God Island Master reacted promptly, instantly setting up a Defensive Array.
That saved everyone from the terrifying assault of the Thunderclap Storm.
Otherwise, the whole island would have been reduced to ashes under this terrifying storm.
The crowd around watched Xu Nian fall into the sea, their eyes showing surprise.
This young man had actually blocked that strike.
Truly terrifying to the extreme.
That sword strike was indeed a sword strike that shook the world.
The power of that sword could have split the entire Dark God Island in two.
Xu Nian once again broke through the sea's surface.
This time, his figure appeared somewhat disheveled.
His bare upper body had several wounds.
His black hair was disheveled, flying in the wind.
However, the aura exuding from his body was increasingly steady and profound.
Stepping on the Void, Xu Nian's form instantly soared from the ground.
Striding on the wind, he soared straight up.
This final Heavenly Tribulation, he wanted to compete with heaven and earth.
To see whether the lightning of this Heavenly Tribulation was stronger, or if his life was tougher.
Xu Nian flipped his palm, and the Immortal Sword was put away.
In its place was the Kunlun Hammer weighing twenty million jin.
Now that Xu Nian had broken through to the Zifu Realm, his control over the Kunlun Hammer was naturally even more fluent.
"What does he want to do?"
"It seems like he wants to smash the Tribulation Clouds!"
"Has he gone mad? Doesn't he know that the closer the Heavenly Tribulation is to the Heavenly Dome, the greater its power?"
"Yes, just now that third Heavenly Tribulation was slightly difficult, this fourth Heavenly Tribulation's power is probably even more terrifying, isn't Xu Nian seeking his own death by doing this?"
People around were abuzz with discussion.
They didn't understand what Xu Nian's purpose was in doing what he did.
Even the Dark God Island Master felt Xu Nian's actions were somewhat improper.
However, they all knew Xu Nian wasn't someone who acted rashly.
He must have had his own intentions.
At that moment, the sky was torn asunder.
A terrifying ball of thunder burst out from the dark clouds.
A spherical thunderbolt?
People around all showed looks of surprise.
This spherical thunderbolt was at least one meter in diameter.
And it contained horrifying power.
If it were to strike a person, even someone at the Zifu Peak Level might not be able to withstand it.
"This is a powerful heavenly tribulation, could it be that Xu Nian's tribulation has mutated? To actually have a spherical thunderbolt, this is unheard of!"
Someone exclaimed amongst the crowd.
Everyone was taken aback.
Could the heavenly tribulation also mutate?
The Dark God Island Master was also full of astonishment.
Having lived for eight thousand years and wandered the Cultivation World for thousands of years, he had never heard of a spherical thunderbolt.
Thus, Xu Nian's tribulation seemed very peculiar to them.
Xu Nian watched the rapidly approaching frightening spherical thunderbolt.
A hint of surprise also appeared in his eyes.
But soon, his gaze became sharp.
"It seems I can no longer hold back," Xu Nian murmured to himself.
A powerful wave of energy then radiated from his body.
The Ancestor Vein Power within him was instantly unleashed.
Beyond that, a huge Divine Wheel appeared directly behind Xu Nian.
With the appearance of this Divine Wheel.
Xu Nian's aura surged instantly.
His momentum completely shot up from the Late-stage Zifu to the Zifu Peak Level.
"Is this... a Talent Phenomenon?" People around all showed their surprise.
They didn't expect that Xu Nian also possessed such a Talent Divine Ability.
But why had they never seen this Talent Divine Ability before?
This Talent Divine Ability naturally was a new one created by Xu Nian after merging all his original Talent Divine Abilities.
And this breakthrough to the Zifu Realm had not produced a new Talent Phenomenon.
However, it had made Xu Nian's existing Talent Phenomenon even stronger.
The Divine Wheel appeared, shining with a brilliant light.
Xu Nian stood proudly, holding the Kunlun Hammer.
He was like an invincible Divine being.
The spherical thunderbolt fiercely bombarded down.
True Essence surged within Xu Nian.
His aura roared and climbed higher.
Xu Nian poured all his True Essence into the Kunlun Hammer.
The Kunlun Hammer shone brightly.
A powerful wave of Earth Attribute Profound Argumentation surged forth at that moment.
Xu Nian swung the hammer and smashed it into the spherical thunderbolt.
The sound was like a thunderclap exploding.
The spherical thunderbolt burst apart.
The violent thunder was instantly transformed into a storm that swept around.
Xu Nian was also thrown backward.
Like a meteorite falling, he crashed into the sea.
The horrifying Thunderclap Storm struck the Defense Array set up by the Dark God Island Master, causing the entire array to fracture.
But fortunately, as quickly as the storm had come, it disappeared just as fast.
The dark clouds parted in the sky.
The sea once again became calm.
However, Xu Nian's figure did not reappear.
"Could it be Xu Nian is dead?" people around discussed.
Hong Xiang also frowned slightly.
At this moment, she could no longer sense Xu Nian's presence.
