<h4>Chapter 1445: Chapter 1442: Xu Wendong Is Gravely Injured</h4>


    Nine dazzling spheres of light, like nine ancient stars awakening, converging at the Peak of the Vault of Heaven, their brilliance so intense that it rivals the Heart of the Firmament, making even the fiery nascent sun pale inparison, as if the entire world is swallowed by this radiance.


    Meanwhile, an unprecedented cosmic pressure surged between heaven and earth, heavy and majestic, like the descent of eternal divines, making all creatures feel as small as ants, evoking a sense of awe.


    In the face of this terrifying heavenly might, everyone felt a prickling sensation on their back, and some cultivators with insufficient cultivation level were so frightened their faces turned ashen, their legs went limp, unable to stand, copsing directly on the ground.


    Xu Wendong was no exception, feeling his hair stand on end, an ominous premonition as cold as ice piercing his bones.


    No time to think further.


    He decisively abandoned the supreme divine skill of Fatian Xiangdi, his form returning to normal, standing firmly at the pinnacle of Phoenix Mountain.


    His gaze was sharp like a torch, piercing through the clouds, with his muscles taut, ready and waiting for the descent of the Sky Thunder!


    At this moment, those nine differently colored spheres seemed to be responding to some mysterious summons, suddenly colliding with each other.


    Blooming into dazzling brilliance, then merging into one, transforming into a boundless, sky-covering tribtion cloud.


    This tribtion cloud was as dark as ink, with shes of lightning and thunder, containing a terrifying power that could make all things shudder.


    The tribtion cloud roared and rolled.


    Suddenly.


    Everything came to an abrupt stop.


    As if someone had pressed the pause button on the world.


    Complete silence.


    Then.


    A dark red lightning tore through the tribtion cloud, ripping across the sky, traversing the void, appearing ghost-like above Xu Wendong.


    Even though Xu Wendong was ready, he hadn’t anticipated the speed at which this Sky Thunder would descend!


    Clearly leaving no room for him to counter.


    As swift as words can express.


    Xu Wendong drove his True Qi within to the extreme, forming an indestructible Protective True Qi, hoping to fend off this Sky Thunder’s attack.


    But just as the True Qi enveloped his body for an instant, the dark red Sky Thunder silently descended upon him.


    In a sh.


    Xu Wendong’s Protective True Qi was shattered, the dark red Sky Thunder pierced through his chest, violently flinging him away.


    In the face of this terrifying Sky Thunder, even though Xu Wendong possessed the legendary Ancient Sacred Body, despite his physical body being tempered numerous times.


    Even if the physical body was what he prided himself on the most, it felt like paper, utterly incapable of resisting this terrifying lightning strike!


    Bang!


    Not until Xu Wendong was flung away did the heavens echo with a deafening roar.


    As if the sky had cracked a massive breach.


    As if the earth was splitting.


    Instilling terror from the very depths of one’s soul!


    Without exception, everyone held their breath, looking at the figure flung away by the Sky Thunder.


    The originally graceful and celestial-like handsome man was now burnt beyond recognition by the Sky Thunder, lying spread-eagle on the ground, appearing barely alive.


    But as a burgeoning Life Force enveloped him, Xu Wendong’s injuries rapidly healed to their original state, visible to the naked eye.


    He then stood up, panting, and took steps back towards the pinnacle of Phoenix Mountain.


    As he walked, he gazed into the void, grinning broadly, and shouted arrogantly: "This is more like it, those lightnings before were simply child’s y, utterly failing to show my prowess!"


    "······"


    "······"


    The cultivators observing Xu Wendong enduring the tribtion from afar all twitched at the corner of their mouths.


    Calling those previous lightnings child’s y?


    Utterly heartless!


    "Dear brother, you must harbor no contempt!" Mo Qilin spoke, feeling anxious because Bai Ze’s words had instilled strong fear.


    Not wanting Bai Ze’s prophecy toe true!


    "Elder brother need not worry, though the power of this Heavenly Tribtion is indeed formidable, I possess some techniques." Xu Wendong smiled faintly.


    Just in the moment of speaking.


    The tribtion cloud in the sky rolled more violently, seemingly with a Demon God rampaging inside.


    Then.


    The tribtion cloud gradually calmed down.


    Xu Wendong had grasped the pattern of the Heavenly Tribtion, once the tribtion cloud stopped rolling, then the Sky Thunder would soon descend.


    To avoid the previous disarray, he pinched the spell with both hands, and uttered clearly: "Array, rise!"


    Buzz!


    Without any warning.


    The heavens and earth erupted with a muffled buzzing sound.


    A glow rose swiftly, centered on Phoenix Mountain, forming a massive dome that enveloped Phoenix Mountain.


    Mystical runes flickered continuously on the formation, appearing like little sprites in the darkness, while giving off a feeling of being indestructible, solid and invincible.


    Besides.


    Within the formation, the virtual images of Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu hovered in all four directions of the formation, exuding sacredness and dignity.


    Seeing the grand array rise before him, an excited human cultivator eximed: "Whoa, it’s igniting, suddenly feels so ignited, goosebumps rose all over me."


    "I feel the same, d to finally see Young Master Xu using formations to resist the Heavenly Tribtion, this array is even stronger than the one he deployed earlier."


    "I thought there was no formation here, yet didn’t expect the true expert endures initial tribtions using just their physical body."


    "With this formation, Young Master Xu will surely pass the Heavenly Tribtion and form a Golden Core!"


    The human cultivators cheered loudly.


    Many had heard of Xu Wendong being a master of formations and looked forward to seeing him manipte formations to fend off the Heavenly Tribtion.


    And now, it was fulfilled!


    "Only now employing a formation to resist the Sky Thunder, I reckon Xu Wendong must have other techniques up his sleeve."


    "Certainly, his methods can’t be so simple."


    "The future is promising indeed!"


    People spected, their eyes filled with glow of anticipation.


    Just as people were specting.


    A vivid green lightning suddenly appeared in the void.


    The vivid green glow stood out so clearly in the darkness, infusing a sense of vibrant Life Force, yet also containing the destructive power akin to Azure Sea’s vicissitudes.


    The lightning, carrying unparalleled power of destruction, heavily struck onto the Four Symbols Star Formation.


    Upon witnessing this scene.


    Everyone held their breath.


    Only to see the Four Symbols Star Formation shake violently, giving the impression it could be obliterated at any moment, also rendering the atmosphere extremely oppressive.


    Seeing the formation on the verge of copse, Xu Wendong pinched the spell, the Four Divine Beasts let out deafening roars simultaneously, then the Four Divine Beasts soared skyward, amidst the expectant gaze of all present, confronting the vivid green lightning...
