Monarch Of Time

Chapter 888 The true strength of the heavenly tribulation

It was obvious that Shun Long had held nothing back with this punch of his, as even the surrounding space had started to ripple and was on the verge of shattering from its sheer power alone.

This was truly an attack that could threaten the life of even a peak rank 9 Dao King!

And yet the heavenly roc had a look of scorn in its bright yellow eyes, as it directly ignored Shun Long's fist, as well as the pitch-black flames that were burning on top of it, and continued straight for his head!

In the next moment, the black flames that could burn even a peak rank 9 Dao King to cinders, only lingered on the 'heavenly roc's' body for a single breath of time before dispersing, as the enormous bird of lightning was now just a few inches away from Shun Long's face.

Shun Long was briefly taken aback for a moment, but he knew that this outcome wasn't surprising in the end. After all, he hadn't been hoping for the 'heavenly roc' to fall under the 'Flames of Darkness' in the first place. Ultimately, this was still a bolt of heavenly tribulation that could threaten even late-stage Dao Emperors.

He simply hadn't expected that the heavenly roc would be able to completely disregard his 'Flames of Darkness' combined with his 'Time Siphon' so easily, to the point where it wasn't even slowed down.

''Phssst!''

In the next moment, blood spurt through the air like a fountain, as the figure of the heavenly roc unhesitantly flapped its wings a second time and dove forward, striking Shun Long right in the space between his eyebrows and entering his spiritual sea!

Shun Long's entire body convulsed, and even the black dragon's scales that covered his body seemed to slowly lose their luster, as a wave of pain overcame him in an instant. The 'heavenly roc' had just struck him, but this time, it wasn't just his soul that was being affected by the attack, but his entire body instead.

Blood started to flow from the cracks between his scales, and even the overbearing defensive abilities from his black dragon's bloodline seemed on the verge of collapse.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long tried to suppress the pain he was feeling and focused his attention in his spiritual sea without any hesitation.

Right now, he knew that the only thing he could do was turn his focus inside his spiritual sea, gathering all of his remaining spiritual energy to try and wilt down the power of the 'heavenly roc' as much as possible and try to minimize the damage to his soul! As long as he could weaken the power of the 'heavenly roc', there was still a chance of survival.

In the end, this 'heavenly roc' wasn't a real magic beast but one made from the lightning of the heavenly tribulation, and its energy was naturally limited as well.

However, the moment the 'heavenly roc' entered his spiritual sea, Shun Long finally understood how much he had underestimated this final bolt of heavenly tribulation.

The moment it entered Shun Long's spiritual sea, the 'heavenly roc' completely disregarded everything around it, and immediately set its sights on the single, ethereal wisp of translucent flame that was hovering in the air, right in the center above Shun Long's spiritual sea.

Clearly, this was none other than Shun Long's soul.

It seemed as if the heavenly roc already knew, that as long as it destroyed this soul, the body would immediately collapse as well. There was no reason for it to waste its energy on the ocean of spiritual strength around it when it could achieve its goal with one single attack.

Flapping its enormous wings once more, the heavenly roc immediately traversed more than half the distance, its cold, indifferent eyes staring straight at the translucent wisp of flame that was hovering calmly above the spiritual sea.

Without any hesitation, Shun Long gathered all of his remaining spiritual strength and sent it forward, as he bombarded the figure of the heavenly roc from all sides. In the next moment, Shun Long's spiritual sea rumbled and surged violently, before waves upon waves of powerful spiritual energy swept the place, immediately submerging the heavenly roc from all directions! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

No matter what, Shun Long's spiritual strength was still comparable to a peak rank 6 Dao Emperor's! The waves of spiritual energy in his spiritual sea that rose like a tsunami were so powerful, that they were more than enough to deal with the mental attacks of any ordinary middle-stage Dao Emperor!

And yet, the figure of the 'heavenly roc' was barely slowed down, before it continued to fly forward soon afterwards, completely ignoring the barrage of spiritual strength that was attacking it from all directions.

Its eyes even held a trace of disdain in its depths as the massive lightning bird stared contemptuously at the waves of spiritual energy that were trying to take it down.

Even if Shun Long was back at full strength, the 'heavenly roc' was still confident that it could resist all of his attacks and destroy his spiritual sea and soul with complete ease, let alone now, that more than half of his spiritual strength had already been spent dealing with 3 bolts of heavenly tribulation earlier!

How could a human possibly contend with it?

In the next moment, even Shun Long couldn't help but feel his heart constrict, as he witnessed the 'heavenly roc' effortlessly tearing through his spiritual sea despite his onslaught, and arrive right in front of his soul!

At the same time, inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black could no longer contain himself as he stared at the massive bird that had arrived right in front of Shun Long's soul with its mouth already open, as if it was intending to bite right through it.

The entire space around the black dragon shook violently, and his aura seemed to have reached a new peak, as Little Black roared furiously with a voice that could make even a true heavenly roc quake in dread

''SCRAM!!!''
