Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent-Chapter 499: Nine Thunder Dragons, Successfully Crossing the Tribulation

If he were to kill these two Three-Star Emperor beasts, he would definitely be able to plunder tens of billions of attributes, which would greatly enhance his strength.

Unfortunately, these two had already fled beyond the range of the tribulation clouds. Even though the Thunder Tribulation had temporarily paused, they had no intention of making a move.

Without the aid of the tribulation lightning, John wasn’t confident he could defeat these two beasts.

Moreover, if he acted, the two beasts could immediately tear open space and escape at any time.

"I’ll have to wait until the Thunder Tribulation ends," he muttered to himself. After breaking through to the Emperor realm, his strength would be greatly enhanced, but he wasn’t sure whether he could slay the Three-Star Emperor beasts. Your next chapter awaits on novelbuddy

Boom, boom, boom...

The thunder above rumbled, and dark clouds churned. The final round of tribulation lightning began to form slowly, filled with a destructive aura that made the surrounding space tremble slightly.

At that moment, the churning black clouds split into nine separate masses, merging together to envelop John’s head.

"Nine masses of dark clouds?" Seeing this, John furrowed his brows, a sense of unease rising within him.

When Leviathan and Heavenly King Emperor had gone through their Thunder Tribulations, only a single mass of cloud had formed. Yet here, he had nine.

This meant that the final round of tribulation lightning would involve nine strikes.

Boom, boom, boom...

The dark clouds roiled, rapidly condensing. Purple lightning flickered and transformed into a purple-black, nine-headed giant dragon. The menacing heads of the dragon looked down upon the Celestial Vault, its cold eyes staring at him indifferently.

John swallowed nervously, feeling a lack of confidence in his heart.

In the distance, Ruin Beast and Bone Devouring Beast saw this and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, secretly relieved that they hadn’t acted rashly. Had they been caught under the final round of the tribulation clouds, their fate would have likely been the same as Soul Devouring Beast.

However, their expressions quickly shifted to excitement again.

The nine-headed thunder dragon formed by the nine tribulation clouds—John definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Even if he somehow survived by some miracle, he would be severely injured, and after that, his death would be certain.

They instinctively took a few steps back, their faces full of anticipation.

John paid no mind to the two beasts. His mind raced as he summoned World-in-Hand, looking at everyone, "The final round of Thunder Tribulation is abnormal. I fear I will have to sacrifice World-in-Hand. You all must leave quickly."

He had already prepared for the destruction of World-in-Hand. As long as he broke through to the Emperor realm, he was confident he could reform it.

The members of Nine Phoenix also noticed the nine masses of tribulation clouds in the sky. They couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, their expressions heavy. They had never heard of such a situation before.

"John, be extra careful!" they cautioned, quickly retreating out of the range of the tribulation clouds.

They were of no help here, and in fact, would only increase the power of the tribulation lightning, putting John in more danger.

"Wait, where’s Merciless Emperor?" John asked hurriedly, realizing he hadn’t seen Merciless Emperor.

Merciless Emperor was still cultivating within the realm of The Tree of Life, a space that no one could disturb.

The group turned their attention to Jean and the soul-states of Gaka.

Gaka didn’t notice any of this and simply stared up at the nine-headed thunder dragon formed by the tribulation clouds. His expression was serious, a bad premonition weighing on his mind.

"Wait," Jean realized the situation was serious. She closed her eyes, connecting mentally with The Realm of Life, trying to communicate with Merciless Emperor.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, looking helpless as she said, "Big brother, Big sister said she’s in a critical moment of her cultivation and cannot leave. But she said there’s no danger, so you don’t need to worry."

"Is that so?" John asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.

He felt like both Merciless Emperor and Jean were hiding something from him.

Merciless Emperor had sustained serious injuries, but with the support of The Tree of Life, which nourished her with powerful life force, she should have recovered from even the gravest wounds by now.

But John didn’t linger on this issue. His World-in-Hand had been destroyed once before, and after reforming, The Tree of Life had remained undamaged.

Merciless Emperor would likely be fine, continuing her cultivation within the domain created by The Tree of Life.

He looked at the group and said, "You should leave now. The Thunder Tribulation is about to descend."

They nodded, no more words exchanged. They quickly fled the range of the tribulation clouds, their faces full of concern for John.

As for the two giant beasts in the distance, they didn’t dare make a move. They were even prepared to flee at any moment, afraid that John might inadvertently draw their attention to them.

But their worries were for nothing.

John no longer had the time to focus on those two. His gaze was fixed solemnly on the gathering tribulation clouds above. The nine purple-black thunder dragons were now fully formed, their bodies flashing with purple lightning, filled with an overwhelming, world-shattering aura.

Whoosh!

A wild wind howled. The nine thunder dragons, formed from the tribulation clouds, seemed to have come to life. Their massive bodies twisted, charging straight into the nine heavens before suddenly turning around and diving down toward John.

Voom!

World-in-Hand trembled slightly, then shattered with a deafening sound. This was only the pressure from the Thunder Tribulation, and even that alone was too much for it to withstand.

"How terrifying!" John sensed the overwhelming crisis descending upon him. A bad premonition filled his mind, and he couldn’t care less about the shattered World-in-Hand. With a thought, he summoned United Sword, Four Extermination Swords, Dark-Light Mirror, Law Tree, the giant sword of The Immortals’ Legacy, and White Jade City, all appearing above him to shield his head.

Even if all these treasures were destroyed, he had to stop this Thunder Tribulation.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a graceful figure flew out from The Tree of Life. It was Merciless Emperor.

John was startled and quickly shouted, "Merciless, get out of here!"

"John, this is the Thunder Dragon, its power is terrifying enough to destroy a planet. You cannot stop it. Let me help you!" she replied softly, her gown fluttering. Holding a deep blue longsword, she hovered in mid-air, coldly staring at the nine thunder dragons.

"Huh?" John stared at Merciless Emperor, his brows furrowing. Was it his imagination?

At this moment, Merciless Emperor’s aura had changed drastically. She still exuded an aloof, noble presence, but now she had a warmth about her. Her ethereal, transcendent aura seemed as if she were a fairy from the Ninth Heaven, sent to the mortal realm—noble and untouchable.

Crack! Crack!

The thunder roared, and lightning flashed. The nine thunder dragons, with the force of a thousand mountains, charged toward them.

"Three Thousand Threads of Affection!" Merciless Emperor’s voice echoed, and the deep blue glow of her longsword intensified. It transformed into countless threads, which lashed out and wrapped around the nine thunder dragons.

Roar...

The dragon’s roars echoed as the nine Thunder Tribulations didn’t tear the threads apart. Instead, they became entangled, and their might slowly diminished.

"Cough!" Merciless Emperor suddenly coughed up blood, her face turning pale and her aura becoming disordered.

She was absorbing the residual power of the Thunder Tribulation, or rather, the life force within her was actively absorbing the thunder’s power.

But soon, she reached her limit. However, the thunder dragons, formed by the nine bolts of divine lightning, had been weakened by more than half.

"John, this is my limit. The rest is up to you!" Merciless Emperor reminded, quickly retreating to escape the range of the Thunder Tribulation.

Boom! Boom!

The thunder rumbled again, and the nine thunder dragons were no longer restrained. They dove toward John.

Their terrifying aura sweeping across the sky, flashing lightning everywhere. In the blink of an eye, John was engulfed.

The others, witnessing this scene, had their hearts in their throats, their expressions tense, silently praying.

Though the power of the nine thunder dragons had been greatly weakened by Merciless Emperor, this was still not something an ordinary Emperor-level powerhouse could easily resist.

Gaka, however, couldn’t help but sigh in relief. He could sense that while John’s soul had been heavily injured, he was not in immediate danger.

He turned to Merciless Emperor and, lowering his voice in surprise, asked, "Has your Path of Pure Emotion reached perfection?"

He could feel the terrifying power of the Three Thousand Threads of Affection just now. It was able to suppress the Thunder Tribulation, something even a three-star Emperor would struggle to do.

Merciless Emperor gently stroked her abdomen and quietly responded, "No. Even if the Path of Pure Emotion were perfected, it couldn’t block this Thunder Tribulation."

"Could it be?" Gaka couldn’t help but exclaim, looking toward her abdomen.

A life that hasn’t even been born yet possesses such power—how frightening is that?

John is already monstrous enough, but his child might be even more terrifying.

Merciless Emperor shook her head, signaling him not to make a sound.

Gaka suppressed his excitement, his expression returning to normal. He no longer dwelled on this matter and instead looked toward the two giant beasts that were watching them from a distance, asking, "Can you tie those two down?"

"I can for a short while," Merciless Emperor responded, her tone revealing strong confidence.

Her cultivation of the Path of Pure Emotion had been progressing smoothly. While it wasn’t yet perfected, she was only one step away. Additionally, she had broken through to the mid-phase of the two-star Emperor realm. Although she couldn’t defeat a three-star Emperor magical beast, holding them off for a time was no problem.

Boom... Boom...

The rolling thunder slowly faded, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated. The oppressive atmosphere also vanished, and the world returned to its usual grayish haze.

John’s figure reappeared, sitting cross-legged. His clothes were torn, his body covered in blood, his aura disordered, and his injuries severe.

Even though Merciless Emperor had helped him absorb most of the Thunder Tribulation’s power, the nine thunder dragons had nearly claimed his life.

Luckily, at the last moment, he managed to hold his ground. With World-in-Hand guarded by The Tree of Life and the Law Tree, it hadn’t shattered completely, otherwise, his injuries would have been even more severe.

Buzz!

At that moment, a buzzing sound filled the air, and a multi-colored beam of light descended, enveloping John.

It was the blessing of The Heaven Law!

John’s heart soared with joy. He hadn’t expected that after the Realm of Chaos’s The Heaven God Tablet shattered and the Emperor Thunder Tribulation had passed, the blessing of The Heaven Law would still arrive.

It seemed that the blessing of The Heaven Law didn’t come from the Realm of Chaos, but from a deeper layer of the universe.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, bathing in the multi-colored glow, greedily absorbing and refining the power of The Heaven Law.

In the distance, Ruin Beast and Bone Devouring Beast exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they charged toward John.

"Who dares!" Merciless Emperor, who had been watching the movements of the two beasts, roared and instantly positioned herself in front of John.

"Hmph, Merciless, you’re just a defeated subordinate of mine, and now you dare to come and die!" Ruin Beast sneered, swinging its giant claw. The space tore apart, and a sharp blade of energy howled toward her.

Merciless Emperor’s expression grew serious. Her deep blue longsword erupted with power, and a sword beam howled as it cut through the air.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out, the space shattered, and the terrifying energy surged. Merciless Emperor was sent flying by the blast.

"Hm?" Ruin Beast stared at Merciless Emperor with suspicion. It wasn’t injured, but from its perspective, Merciless Emperor shouldn’t have been able to withstand that strike. She should have died without a doubt.

However, now, despite being injured, her wounds weren’t that severe.
