Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

A black dragon with black claws, black scales, a black beard, and black eyes!

In the pitch-dark sky, Zhao Kuo turned into a black dragon and soared in the air!

A lightning bolt flashed in the clouds and illuminated the black dragon in the sky.

It was Hao Ren’s first time seeing a real dragon. He was stunned!

According to Su Han, after dragon cultivators reached Dui-level, they could transform into dragons. While the Spirit Concentration Scroll cultivated the acupoints in the human body, the cultivation after Kan-level would unblock the acupoints in the dragon body by unlocking the openings on the Dragon Core.

“Brother!” Zhao Guang shouted into the sky.

However, Zhao Kuo, doing his utmost with all he had, had flown up high in the sky!

Bang!

A lightning flash crashed into the black dragon!

The eleventh Heavenly Lightning Bolt!

The lightning bolt with the enormous power hit the body of the black dragon, turning it silver!

Zhao Kuo fell hundreds of meters before flying back up!

“Brother! Come back!” Zhao Guang raised his voice and yelled again! This time, he used his Nature Essence in the shout, and his voice could be clearly heard 100 kilometers away.

However, Zhao Kuo was stubborn and wouldn’t come back. He wouldn’t admit defeat in the battle against Heaven!

When the black dragon flew close to the clouds, the twelfth Heavenly Lightning Bolt crashed down!

The blinding lightning lit up the whole space between the sky and the sea!

The violent Heavenly Lightning Bolt crashed directly onto the waist of the black dragon, almost cutting him into halves! To pass the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhao Kuo was giving it all and even used his true dragon form!

Tumbling and falling from the sky, Zhao Kuo almost fell into the sea. But the moment his claws touched the sea surface, he immediately turned around and flew back up!

The dark clouds gathered from all directions, signaling that the Heaven was brewing the last few Heavenly Lightning Bolts!

“Brother!” Concerned, Zhao Guang wanted to fly up, but Zhao Hongyu held him back.

Zhao Yanzi’s eyes were full of tears. Sobbing, she bit onto her fist while watching her Third Uncle being struck down again and again.

Holding her other hand, Hao Ren was completely stunned.

Before Zhao Kuo could get close to the clouds, the thirteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt crashed down!

The enormous energy in it boiled up the seawater beside the altar!

Flapping in the rain, Zhao Kuo swayed in his dragon form. Suddenly, he spat out a red bead!

“Essence Core! He’s risking his life!” On the high platform, Zhao Guang yelled in astonishment.

The Dragon Core was also called the Essence Core, the life source of a dragon. As a master of top-tier Qian-level, Zhao Kuo used the tri-point double-edge sword as his weapon and hadn’t obtained a Natal Dharma Treasure. His Dragon Core was his ultimate weapon and last resort.

The full energy of top-tier Qian-level was unleashed from the Dragon Core!

Instantly, the space between the sky and the sea was brightly illuminated as if it was daytime!

The thirteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt shot toward Zhao Kuo!

The red bead blocked the lightning bolt.

The lightning bolt and the Dragon Core were battling with each other, but everyone including Hao Ren knew that using the Dragon Core as a weapon would cause considerable damage to its owner.

Boom!

The thirteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt turned into sparks of white light before vanishing. Meanwhile, the dazzling red Dragon Core dimmed and revealed its original its water elemental nature.

Almost instantly, the fourteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt slashed toward Zhao Kuo!

“It is about 8,000 times as powerful as the first one!” Hao Ren calculated in his mind as sweat appeared in his palms.

Obviously, Zhao Kuo couldn’t make it, but he wouldn’t admit defeat!

If he returned to the altar, the strength of more than ten thousand cultivators and the power of the array formation would probably manage to block the last few Heavenly Lightning Bolts and keep him alive, even though his cultivation progress would likely be wiped out.

Suddenly, it dawned on Hao Ren that Zhao Kuo would rather die than let the soldiers block Heavenly Lightning Bolts for him. This man was trying to reserve the soldiers and the strength of the East Ocean!

The fourteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt consisted of countless lightning flashes. With the huge sound of explosions, they shot toward Zhao Kuo who was high in the sky!

Zhao Kuo could no longer block them. Although he was in his dragon form, he was only an Earthly Dragon before reaching the Heavenly Dragon Realm. The Heavenly Lightning Bolt that was 8,000 times more powerful than the first one was too much for him to withstand!

Bang!

The fourteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt exploded on Zhao Kuo. Since it was a dark night and Zhao Kuo was a black dragon, it was hard to determine the severity of his injuries.

However, everyone knew that he was now in a severe condition.

“Sneaky Heaven! Broken Heaven! In my whole life, I, Zhao Kuo, have been impulsive and fierce, but I’ve never taken any innocent life! I’m just rash with words, and you put such a punishment on me!?”

Swaying in the sky, Zhao Kuo cursed in his resonant voice.

Crash!

As if it was a response to Zhao Kuo’s words, the fifteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt struck toward Zhao Kuo’s black dragon head!

Zhao Kuo put the Dragon Core back into his body and created a light shield in front of him with his last bit of essence.

But in the face of a Heavenly Lightning Bolt that was 16,000 times as powerful as the first one, any five-elemental essence was as weak as a piece of paper! The lightning bolt crashed through the light shield immediately.

Zhao Kuo had to withstand it with his body!

He was struck down from the sky by the fierce Heavenly Lightning Bolt. He tumbled and fell into the sea, creating waves that were as high as mountains!

“Brother!” Zhao Guang yelled, and the elders guarding the altar were all dumbfounded.

Zhao Yanzi’s face was covered in tears. Her legs weakened, and she would have fallen to the ground crying if it wasn’t for Hao Ren’s support.

Hua!

Zhao Kuo’s flew out of the sea in his bloody dragon form.

“I’m still here! I’m not defeated!” He shouted and flew into the sky.

Bang!

The sixteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt crashed down.

It was 30,000 times as powerful as the first one!

If it struck Zhao Kuo, it would be hard for him not to die.

After being struck by fifteen Heavenly Lightning Bolts, Zhao Kuo was fearless. He flew right toward it!

Bang! The lightning bolt collided with Zhao Kuo, and he was bounced hundreds of meters away before falling into the sea!

On the high platform, Zhao Hongyu furrowed her brows tightly. It was obvious that Zhao Kuo couldn’t survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

“I’m not defeated!” Shaking violently, Zhao Kuo shot out from the sea again!

“I, Zhao Kuo, will poke a hole in the Heaven!” he shouted, soaring to the clouds in the sky!

“Brother!” Zhao Guang knew his brother could never survive the last two lightning bolts.

Regardless of the risks, he turned into a white dragon and flew into the sky.

“Zhao Guang!” Zhao Hongyu yelled, but she couldn’t stop him.

Almost as big as the black dragon, the white dragon flew in the air and block the fierce black dragon.

At this moment, the seventeenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt struck down!

Zhao Guang tried to block the lightning bolt and was sent flying hundreds of meters away!

“Dad!” Zhao Yanzi screamed. Alarmed, Hao Ren held her to him.

“Dragon King!” everyone shouted in surprise, but none of them dared to leave their positions on the altar without permission.

Held up for a moment by Zhao Guang, the Heavenly Lightning Bolt continued crashing toward Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Guang dropped hundreds of meters before flying up and catching Zhao Kuo who was falling like a rock.

“Heaven and Earth Array Formation, activate!” Zhao Guang shouted, and his white dragon form flew toward the array formation before turning back to his human form. He carried Zhao Kuo’s human body and entered the altar.

Hao Ren noticed that blood was gushing out of Zhao Guang’s shoulder. Obviously, he was severely wounded while trying to rescue Zhao Kuo.

Regardless of his wound, he stood up immediately. “Unleash full force to block the eighteenth Heavenly Lightning Bolt!”

“Yes!” All the elders, generals and soldiers answered as one!

In the sky, lightning flashed in the clouds. The last Heavenly Lightning Bolt was the most powerful one.

Zhao Kuo was not able to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, but he could live if the last Heavenly Lightning Bolt were blocked.

Boom!

The Heavenly Lightning Bolt was more like a huge laser beam!

Dozens of colorful defense shields above the altar were activated, but like pieces of paper, they were instantly broken by the Heavenly Lightning Bolt!

It was 130,000 times as powerful as the first lightning bolt which could kill an ordinary cultivator.

Holding his chest and spewing blood, Zhao Guang ordered, “Earthly Branches! First, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh general, block the first wave! Heavenly Stems! First, third, fifth, seventh and ninth elder, assist!”

“Yes!” The generals and elders took the order.

The Heavenly Lightning Bolt arrived at the core defense array formation above the altar. Five elders, six generals, and 6,000 soldiers took their positions and unleashed their Natural Essence.

The entire white jade altar was lit up instantly, and a surge of terrifying energy was activated. The abundant Nature Essence proved that the white jade was indeed a piece of advanced Nature Treasure.

The core defense array formation had five layers. The outmost layer began to bend and shatter under the force of the lightning bolt.

Bang! The outer layer broke with a crisp banging noise.

Five purple-robed elders, six generals, and 6,000 soldiers were all bounced back.

“Block the second wave!” Pale-faced, Zhao Guang held his hand to his chest and continued to order.

Six generals in the positions of second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth and twelfth Earthly Branch positions took half a step forward with 6,000 soldiers while the five purple-robed elders at the second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth Heavenly Stem positions unleashed their energy.

Their efforts paused the advancement of the lightning bolt for only six seconds before the second defense layer was shattered.

It seemed that the Heavenly Lightning Bolt with 130,000 times the power of the first was unstoppable!

If it crashed down, no one could escape without a scratch! Everyone would be severely wounded while those with weak cultivation strength would die on the spot!

That was why Zhao Kuo refused to return to the altar when he saw the great power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

He knew that he couldn’t pass it and the Ninth Heaven Eighteen Lightning Tribulation was more powerful than the altar could withstand. He would rather die than enlisting help from the East Ocean Dragon Clan and harm the member!

“Everyone! Together!” Zhao Guang knew no strategy would work in the face of the ultimate power. He ordered everyone to get ready for the final blow.

The ten purple-robed elders, 12 golden-armored generals, and 12,000 silver-armored soldiers stood in their positions, and the others stood on the engravings and arrays of the altar while injecting their Nature Essence into them.

Both Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu squatted down, ready to unleash their full energy to fight with the Heavenly Tribulation!

Hao Ren didn’t back off. Although his cultivation strength was low, he kneeled and placed his hand onto the altar.

Boom! The Heavenly Lightning Bolt broke another core defense layer, and the surface of the altar began to crack!

Meanwhile, all the intricate engravings on the altar began to hum. Instantly, the warm and white light illuminated the whole sky.

With a booming noise, the Heavenly Lightning Bolt that was about 130,000 times more powerful than the first one destroyed the second last defense layer.

The final moment had come!
