Female President's Almighty King

Nine bolts of lightning, imbued with the power of the five elements, poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens.

Each one contains the destructive power of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

They intertwined in the air to form a large net, blocking all of Xiao Chen's escape routes.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Xiao Chen simply sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.

"What is he doing?"

The Dragon Emperor was puzzled.

"He is... using the tribulation lightning to temper himself!"

A hint of admiration flashed in the Green Emperor's eyes.

"He's insane! He's a complete madman! He actually wants to use the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation to temper his internal organs and integrate the power of the Five Elements into his own body!"

Just as the Azure Emperor said, Xiao Chen was indeed doing that.

The moment the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation struck, he did not resist, but instead guided the power of the thunder into his body.

The power of metal tempers the lungs, the power of wood nourishes the liver, the power of water cleanses the kidneys, the power of fire burns away the heart fire, and the power of earth strengthens the spleen earth.

This is an extremely dangerous attempt; if one is not careful, one's internal organs will be torn apart by the power of the five elements.

Puff puff!

Xiao Chen spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and multicolored light appeared on his skin, which was a manifestation of the five elements' power raging within his body.

However, as time went by, these multicolored lights gradually subsided and eventually merged completely into his body.

When the last Five Elements Lightning Tribulation dissipated, Xiao Chen was on the verge of death, but his internal organs radiated a shimmering, precious light, becoming even more solid and pure.

"He actually...did it."

The mountain never falls, it murmurs.

"Using the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation to temper the five internal organs is a forbidden technique recorded in ancient body-refining methods, with a success rate of less than one in ten thousand. He actually succeeded."

Xiao Chen struggled to his feet and looked up at the sky.

The third tribulation of lightning is brewing, and this time, illusory images appear in the clouds.

Those were the phantoms of ancient ferocious beasts, roaring and surging amidst the lightning.

"The third level, the tribulation of ferocious beasts."

A flash of understanding crossed Xiao Chen's eyes.

"This Nascent Soul Tribulation is going to test the one undergoing the tribulation with the most primal power in the world? The first level is pure heavenly lightning power, the second level is the power of the five elements, the third level is the power of ferocious beasts... So what will the following levels be?"

There wasn't much time to think before the third tribulation lightning struck.

Nine phantom images of ancient ferocious beasts burst forth from the clouds, each exuding overwhelming ferocity.

They are not real ferocious beasts, but the most powerful ferocious beast forms simulated by the rules of heaven and earth, whose power is in no way weaker than the original.

Xiao Chen gripped the Xuanyuan Blade tightly once more; this time, he was going to take the initiative.

The first ferocious beast, the phantom of Qiongqi, pounced. Xiao Chen slashed out with his sword, the blade light as bright as a rainbow, cleaving the phantom of Qiongqi in two.

The moment the phantom dissipated, it transformed into countless tiny lightning snakes that burrowed into his body.

The second one, the third one... Xiao Chen fought these ferocious beast phantoms like a madman, putting all his strength into every strike and carrying the determination to kill with every blow.

When the ninth ferocious beast phantom was destroyed, Xiao Chen was almost covered in blood, with not a single part of his body intact.

However, he remained standing, his spine ramrod straight.

"The third level...passed."

His voice was hoarse, yet unusually firm.

At the summit, everyone held their breath.

They had forgotten time and everything around them; their eyes were fixed only on the figure struggling and fighting amidst the lightning tribulation.

The Azure Emperor and the others were deeply shocked. They saw Xiao Chen's resilience, his thirst for power, and his unyielding spirit that defied heaven and earth.

"Perhaps... he really can succeed."

"The Azure Emperor said softly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes."

The fourth tribulation began to brew. This time, phantom images of stars appeared in the clouds, and stars spun and fell amidst the lightning.

"Starry Sky Tribulation..."

Xiao Chen looked at the sky, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He knew that the real test was only just beginning.

Deep in the sky, starlight and lightning intertwined, and nine dazzling phantom stars slowly emerged from the thunderclouds.

They are not real stars, but projections of the primordial stars formed by the condensation of the rules of heaven and earth, each carrying a vast, ancient, and heavy pressure.

As the stars revolve, space distorts, as if even time itself slows down around them.

Xiao Chen tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and activated all the remaining true energy in his body, causing a faint golden halo to emanate from his body.

That was the primordial radiance reflected from his internal organs after he had initially fused the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation.

When the first star fell, Xiao Chen did not confront it head-on. Instead, he used his movement technique to weave through the gaps in the falling star.

Each time he narrowly escaped danger, he used his divine sense to capture the traces of rules contained within the power of the stars.

"The stars revolve, their trajectories are naturally formed..."

As he gradually came to a realization, his movements of dodging changed from initial awkwardness to composure.

When the seventh star fell, Xiao Chen stopped dodging.

He stood still, his hands forming a circle, and a miniature vortex of stars took shape in his palms.

The phantom of the falling star was slightly drawn in by the vortex, causing its descent trajectory to deviate slightly.

The eighth star, carrying the momentum of the previous seven, is even more powerful.

Xiao Chen incorporated the sliver of the Star Dao he had just comprehended into his swordsmanship. The Xuanyuan Blade drew a profound arc, its light carrying the phantom of stars as it spun several times, its force being gradually neutralized.

"The last one!"

The ninth star slowly detached itself from the thunderclouds, carrying with it the will to lock everything in place.

Xiao Chen concentrated all his power into the simplest and purest slash, soaring into the sky, becoming one with the blade, transforming into a streak of light and crashing down!

Streams of light and stars collided violently in mid-air!

An intense burst of light erupted, and an invisible shockwave spread out in a ring.

The light lasted for several breaths before slowly fading away, the star-like phantoms disappeared, and the dark clouds of the fourth tribulation gradually dissipated.

Xiao Chen fell from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

His appearance at this moment was appalling; his clothes were torn to shreds, his body was charred black, many of his bones were twisted and deformed, and his breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

As soon as the dark clouds of the fourth tribulation dispersed, even deeper and more oppressive inky clouds began to gather.

From within the clouds, faint sounds of dragons roaring, phoenixes howling, and gods and demons howling could be heard, with countless blurry and enormous figures appearing and disappearing among them.

A sense of chaos, slaughter, and destruction enveloped the heavens and earth.

From within the clouds, countless distorted faces emerged, emitting silent wails and curses.

The lingering resentment of enemies killed by Xiao Chen, the grudges of those indirectly killed by him, and even the inner demons and karma generated on his own path of cultivation—all of these were amplified and manifested by the rules of heaven and earth, and merged into the tribulation lightning.

Xiao Chen lay in the ruins, his body suddenly trembling.

His eyeballs were moving rapidly beneath his tightly closed eyelids.

Countless illusions, whispers, and resentful emotions began to assault his consciousness.

Externally, a cataclysmic lightning tribulation was brewing; internally, the forces of karma and inner demons were attacking.

The fifth tribulation of lightning... the tribulation of karmic obstacles and inner demons, has arrived!
