Terrifying thunderbolts fell into the Star Dou Great Forest one after another.
The hissing and roaring of countless Spirit Beasts could be heard clearly, even from outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tianmeng Iceworm had been captured by other Spirit Beasts, which surrounded it to absorb its energy.
The God of Destruction’s methods were quite brutal; he used the Heavenly Tribulation to create a “chance to escape” for Tianmeng Iceworm.
Tianmeng Iceworm was a Spirit Beast nearing a million years of cultivation, yet it had never experienced a single Heavenly Tribulation.
This could not be brushed off simply by calling it weak.
Regardless of species or strength, the Heavenly Tribulation was a major hurdle that every 100,000-year Spirit Beast had to face.
Since Tianmeng Iceworm had missed so many, the God of Destruction was determined to make up for them.
The Heavenly Tribulation was inherently a manifestation of the will of destruction, making it even more convenient for the God of Destruction to wield.
Moreover, under the cover of the Heavenly Tribulation, the God of Destruction could also attend to other matters.
“Bad luck, bad luck, I, Brother Tianmeng, am truly too unlucky.”
Underground, a chubby, giant fleshy worm was fleeing frantically.
Tianmeng Iceworm had traveled across the ocean to reach the Star Dou Great Forest, only to be quickly captured by the very rude local Spirit Beasts.
Those Spirit Beasts had treated it like a shared power bank, each of them absorbing its energy with great delight.
Just when Tianmeng Iceworm felt that its life was bleak and that its death would come once its energy was drained, a turning point arrived.
However, this turning point was far too intense, and it could barely withstand it.
Tianmeng Iceworm, digging frantically to move forward, had a charred body, and thunderbolts kept descending upon it.
The Heavenly Tribulation could not be avoided by burrowing underground or diving into the deep sea; its frantic escape was merely a futile effort.
“Too terrifying, too terrifying, the Heavenly Tribulation is just too terrifying!
Why did it have to come for me?”
Tianmeng Iceworm had always thought it was too weak and that the Heavenly Tribulation looked down on it.
This had made it feel both lucky and somewhat sorrowful at times.
Now, it didn’t have to be sorrowful anymore; the Heavenly Tribulations it had missed over the years had finally caught up.
When the Heavenly Tribulation first arrived, those powerful Spirit Beasts that were absorbing its energy helped it shoulder a large portion of the damage.
Tianmeng Iceworm felt it was because those detestable creatures had absorbed too much of its energy, leading the Heavenly Tribulation to treat them as part of its own body.
Tianmeng Iceworm had even felt happy about this for a moment.
Although the Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying, if so many Spirit Beasts shared the burden, perhaps even it could survive.
But those spineless Spirit Beasts had scrambled to be the first to absorb its energy.
Yet when the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, they ran faster than anyone else.
After the first wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, those Spirit Beasts, with charred heads and trailing black smoke, vanished in the blink of an eye.
Only Tianmeng Iceworm was left, facing the remaining Heavenly Tribulation alone.
“Ah~”
Tianmeng Iceworm, still digging frantically, let out a miserable shriek as intense pain swept through its entire body.
“I am not reconciled!
I, Tianmeng Iceworm, should not die under the Heavenly Tribulation like this.”
Tianmeng Iceworm always felt that with its luck, it should be able to turn misfortune into fortune.
Even when it was captured by the Spirit Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, it felt that it would have a chance to escape.
Boom~
Since it couldn’t hide from the Heavenly Tribulation even underground, Tianmeng Iceworm decided not to hide anymore and burrowed out from the ground.
Brother Tianmeng had lived a pathetic life, but this time it wanted to die with some dignity; it couldn’t die in such a stifling way underground.
As soon as it burrowed out, it saw a human figure ahead.
In an instant, a thought appeared in Tianmeng Iceworm’s mind.
“Forget it, I’ll treat a dead horse as a living one.
Kid, your Brother Tianmeng is coming.”
Seeing that it was about to die under the Heavenly Tribulation, Tianmeng Iceworm decided to follow the flash of inspiration that had just appeared.
And as for the one it had chosen…
When the giant fleshy worm burst through the soil, Su Chen guessed who it was.
Is the God of Destruction arranging Huo Yuhao’s treatment for me?
However, Tianmeng Iceworm shouldn’t have reached the million-year Breakthrough yet, right?
Forget it, close enough is good enough; I’ll make do with it.
“Do not be afraid.
Prepare to welcome your first spirit ring; let us first attach a spirit ring to your spear Spirit.”
At this moment, the God of Destruction even thoughtfully instructed Su Chen not to be afraid.
Before the God of Destruction’s voice had even faded, the screeching giant worm had already lunged in front of Su Chen, and the deadly Heavenly Tribulation had also caught up to Tianmeng Iceworm at this moment.
“Awoo~”
Tianmeng Iceworm risked its life, and the nine golden rings on its body instantly enveloped Su Chen.
Whether it succeeds or fails, it all depends on this one gamble.
A torrent of surging energy rushed toward Su Chen, and his vision immediately blurred.
Immediately afterward, the green light that had once appeared on his body emerged again; the water of life was taking effect.
The body, damaged by the influx of Tianmeng Iceworm’s power, was rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the water of life.
This cycle of damage and repair lasted for a long time.
Su Chen kept experiencing this cycle of pain and pleasure until his whole being was becoming numb.
It was too brutal; the surprise given by the God of Destruction was indeed huge, but the torture was truly torture.
Yet, under the blessing effect of the Goddess of Life, Su Chen’s consciousness remained incredibly clear; he couldn’t even faint to skip this process.
During the process of Tianmeng Iceworm frantically injecting energy into Su Chen’s body, the Heavenly Tribulation descended.
Tianmeng Iceworm’s consciousness vanished into thin air under this final Heavenly Tribulation.
“No~”
Tianmeng Iceworm was full of unwillingness.
It had thought it had found a path to survival, but in the end, was it just making wedding clothes for someone else?
Heaven is unfair.
Neither Su Chen nor the consciousness-fading Tianmeng Iceworm noticed that, as the final Heavenly Tribulation fell, a new golden ring caught up to the previous nine, and ten golden rings enveloped Su Chen’s body together.
At the very last moment of its life, Tianmeng Iceworm had advanced to a million-year Spirit Beast ahead of schedule.
God of Destruction: “A joke.
Would I let Su Chen’s treatment be inferior to Tang San’s son-in-law?
A million-year spirit ring, not even a year less will do.”
He had forcibly used his divine force to squeeze the last bit of vitality from Tianmeng Iceworm, elevating it to the level of a million-year Spirit Beast.
With Tianmeng Iceworm’s consciousness dissipated, the God of Destruction had to step in to help Su Chen Seal the excess energy.
The place where Su Chen was located was not the Star Dou Great Forest, and coupled with the previous Heavenly Tribulation fluctuations and the Mental Energy impact from Tianmeng Iceworm, no creature would approach him.
In this incredibly quiet environment, the cycle of pain and pleasure for Su Chen finally ended.
“It’s finally over.”
Su Chen sat on a rock, his face numb.
The feeling of having one’s body scoured by violent energy was truly unpleasant; if you tried to stuff an elephant into a refrigerator, it would be strange if the refrigerator felt good.
But every time he felt his body was about to be torn apart, the water of life would take effect.
This tormented him to the point of wanting to die; it was truly agonizing.
“Let’s see what my first Spirit Ability is.”
After resting for a while, Su Chen wanted to see what he had gained.
His Spirit was completely different from Huo Yuhao’s, so the Spirit Ability would certainly be different as well.
But just at this moment, the God of Destruction’s voice rang out again.
“Xiao Chen, wait a moment.
I have a little trouble that needs your help.”
“Hm?
Senior, please speak.”
Su Chen was somewhat puzzled.
What kind of trouble could the God of Destruction possibly encounter?
