At that moment, Leo managed to activate the Nine Heavens Star Chart and his spiritual power to protect his body.
The Puppet General was directly blasted away by the tenth Heavenly Thunder, and the remaining force of the thunder mercilessly struck Leo’s body.
Leo’s small frame, like the Puppet General, was directly embedded into the hard rock at the mountain’s peak.
“My God, a tenth Thunder Tribulation has appeared! The heavenly tribulation is not following the usual pattern!”
“This is completely wrong. When breaking through to Spirit Saint, there should only be nine Heavenly Thunders!”
“What on earth is happening? How can such a monstrous event occur!?”
The cultivators watching from a distance felt their worldview shatter.
“Lord Marquis, that young man is truly extraordinary. The way of heaven has broken its own rules, sending down a tenth Thunder Tribulation. And from the looks of it, more Thunder Tribulations are still to come,” said the white-robed elder beside Alejandro Gray, his feelings indescribable.
“As far as I know, when breaking through from Spirit King to Spirit Saint, nine Heavenly Thunders descend; when breaking through from Spirit Saint to Spirit God, eighteen Heavenly Thunders descend.”
“That young man is only breaking through to Spirit Saint, yet he has surpassed nine Heavenly Thunders. This shows his extraordinary potential, which the way of heaven cannot tolerate,” Alejandro Gray said slowly, looking at where Leo had fallen.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed.
A gray figure, looking somewhat disheveled, burst out from the rock.
Leo coughed up some fresh blood again, his face turning pale.
The power of the tenth Heavenly Thunder was at least twice as strong as the ninth!
Even though Leo had activated the Nine Heavens Star Chart, which had reached the fourth level, and the Puppet General had taken most of the attack, his body was still injured.
At this moment, Leo felt extremely depressed: “There was actually a tenth Heavenly Thunder. Does the way of heaven really want to destroy me?”
Right now, Leo remembered a saying: “My fate is determined by me, not by heaven!”
With a shift in his gaze and a thought in his mind, the Puppet General also burst out from the rock and stood in front of Leo.
At this moment, the Puppet General’s entire body was covered with various dents. Although it wasn’t fundamentally damaged, it still made Leo feel heartache.
The Puppet General had no sense of pain and was fearless in battle. However, if it couldn’t absorb and transform attacks, it could be rendered useless after sustaining fatal damage.
Leo knew that the Puppet General could no longer absorb the power of the Heavenly Thunder. Thus, he took out the Bronze Scroll and stored the Puppet General inside it.
The thunderclouds in the sky contracted and condensed again, shrinking from three hundred feet to two hundred feet.
At the center, an even larger Thunder Dragon erupted and struck towards Leo.
This time, Leo wouldn’t foolishly choose to take it head-on. With a wave of his right hand, he summoned three top-grade defensive spiritual weapons.
These three top-grade spiritual weapons were a massive Flame Shield, a huge Obsidian Shield, and a giant stone gate that looked like it was made of jade.
These three top-grade defensive spiritual weapons were spoils of war from when Leo killed Lucas Collins.
Leo poured his spiritual power into the three top-grade spiritual weapons. The three spiritual weapons rapidly expanded in mid-air.
The Flame Shield was at the front, the Obsidian Shield in the middle, and the giant stone gate at the back, forming a triple defense.
The eleventh Heavenly Thunder, with world-destroying power, first struck the Flame Shield.
The entire Flame Shield immediately shattered. The Heavenly Thunder continued its unstoppable momentum and struck the Obsidian Shield, which also broke apart.
Finally, it hit the Jade Stone Giant Gate. The gate only held for a second before crumbling into powder.
The eleventh Heavenly Thunder easily broke through Leo’s triple defense.
The three top-grade spiritual weapons were thus rendered useless.
Seeing the Heavenly Thunder about to strike him, Leo’s pupils contracted. He roared angrily and gathered his strongest power to unleash the Nine Heavens Star Fist!
The illusory fist only held off the eleventh Heavenly Thunder for a moment before dissipating.
The terrifying lightning instantly engulfed Leo.
As Leo was enveloped by lightning and fell, the entire mountain trembled twice.
“My God, this is too terrifying!”
“The power of this eleventh Heavenly Thunder is such that even a mid-stage Spirit Saint might not be able to withstand it.”
“That young man must be too defiant of heaven. The way of heaven doesn’t want him to exist in this world.”
The cultivators watching felt deep shock and sympathy for Leo.
“The way of heaven is ruthless. That kid probably won’t make it,” Fierce Wave said with a gloating expression.
“It would be best if the Heavenly Thunder kills him directly. It would save us the trouble later,” Fierce Fire said coldly.
However, just after Fierce Fire finished speaking, they saw a figure burst out from the rock again and stand in mid-air once more.
At this moment, Leo’s face was as pale as paper, with blood seeping from all over his body.
“Want to destroy me? Impossible!” Leo clenched his fists and growled lowly.
The remaining essence blood of Leviathan had fully integrated into Leo’s bones and muscles, enhancing his physical strength to another level.
In the sky, the thunderclouds contracted from two hundred feet to one hundred feet.
The powerful pressure of thunder increased several times compared to before.
Leo could feel that the twelfth Heavenly Thunder would be the final one and also the strongest strike of this Thunder Tribulation.
Under Leo’s watchful eyes, the twelfth Heavenly Thunder transformed into a Thunder Dragon with world-destroying momentum and descended rapidly.
Such power left no doubt that if it struck the mountain beneath Leo’s feet, the entire mountain would be leveled.
A fierce look appeared on Leo’s face. He crossed his hands and quickly formed an ancient and mysterious seal.
As Leo’s hand seal changed, his golden core in his dantian flashed with light. Azure water spiritual power surged out and quickly gathered above his head.
A massive Water Shield appeared.
The twelfth Heavenly Thunder transformed into a Thunder Dragon and struck the Water Shield with world-destroying force.
Lightning clashed with azure light in the sky, dazzling everyone’s vision for a moment.
Underneath the Water Shield, Leo saw cracks appearing on its surface, and they were rapidly expanding.
At this moment, under the Black Tortoise Water Shield, Leo’s eyes widened as he saw that the Black Tortoise shell had been torn apart by the Thunder Dragon and was piercing through the Water Shield.
“Hold on!” Leo roared angrily. The Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus in his dantian spun rapidly.
Spiritual power mixed with extreme cold surged out from Leo’s body, forming a massive ice wall beneath the Water Shield.
A soul-stirring explosion echoed far and wide.
The Water Shield and ice wall shattered almost simultaneously into countless azure water droplets and ice shards.
