Chapter 721: Lightning Dragon

"Grapes, how big is the calamity cloud now?" Xu Fan asked.

"It’s covering an area of thirty thousand miles," Grapes replied.

"The Tribulation of the Physical Body has at most nine thunder calamities. Are they forming nine lightning dragons?" Xu Fan said, looking at the three lightning dragons in the sky that were staring at him.

At this moment, Small Sword Fairy City, which had just stabilized, fell back into chaos.

All the cultivators in the fairy city looked at the sky in fear, intimidated by the aura from the calamity clouds, making them hesitant to act rashly.

The calamity clouds had also spread to cover the three sects located tens of thousands of miles outside Small Sword Fairy City.

"Which prodigy is undergoing the Overcoming Tribulations?"

"The calamity cloud has reached a staggering ten thousand miles."

"Could it be related to the sect that just teleported here?"

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, at the center of the thunder calamity, found it somewhat amusing as he gazed at the six lightning dragons in the sky.

"Master, the calamity cloud has expanded to sixty thousand miles," Grapes said.

"It seems the heavens won’t stop until they send down nine lightning dragons," Xu Fan remarked.

"Then we might as well wait; I guess by the time the calamity cloud finishes forming, I’ll have to fight these lightning dragons," Xu Fan speculated.

As the calamity clouds continued to gather, the power in the sky reached its peak.

With the appearance of the ninth lightning dragon, Xu Fan’s aura changed.

He instantly advanced from the Core Formation stage to the Overcoming Tribulations stage.

"It’s about to begin."

Just then, all the lightning dragons in the sky charged towards Xu Fan.

"Shouldn’t you come one by one?" Xu Fan stared in surprise at the lightning dragons surrounding him.

You’re not playing fair; you’re all ganging up on me.

One lightning dragon opened its mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning, aiming at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan dodged it and moved behind one lightning dragon.

He summoned a massive five-element mountain to suppress one of the lightning dragons.

The other eight lightning dragons continued to attack Xu Fan.

Lightning, massive claws, dragon tails, and the occasional thunder calamity strikes left Xu Fan somewhat bewildered.

While others find ways to resist their thunder calamities, he ended up with nine lightning dragons converging on him.

He had thought that having the lightning dragons would spare him from falling calamities, but that wasn’t the case.

"This is interesting. Since you want to play, I’ll play along," Xu Fan said as he pulled out a spatial magic cube, which he had specifically brought for this thunder calamity.

He formed a hand seal, and a thousand-hand illusion appeared behind him.

The thousand-hand illusion extended a pair of hands and took the spatial magic cube from Xu Fan, storing it within his forehead.

Xu Fan waved his hand once more, injecting nine artifact-level Thunder Pearls, which could enhance his abilities, into the body of the thousand-hand illusion.

Behind the thousand-hand illusion, a formation disk appeared, adorned with the nine pearls.

At that moment, a thunder calamity struck from the sky.

As the thunder calamity descended, the thousand-hand illusion quickly formed seals, and ten major five-star protective powers manifested around Xu Fan.

Just then, a lightning dragon seemed to traverse space and charged directly at Xu Fan.

"Can you guys work together too?" Xu Fan muttered in confusion, but his hands were busy.

A bone fan appeared in his hand, instantly expanding to a hundred feet in size, and he swung it at the lightning dragon.

"Boom!"

The struck lightning dragon transformed into a flash of lightning, crashing into the distance.

Meanwhile, the thunder calamity only managed to break through six layers of Xu Fan’s protective power.

Glancing at the remaining seven lightning dragons, Xu Fan said, "None of you are getting away."

With a wave of his hand, the thousand-hand illusion formed seals again, and countless Chaotic Chains, condensed from the Five Elements of Spiritual Energy, surged toward the seven lightning dragons.

The overwhelming chains rushed at the lightning dragons, and no matter how they tried to dodge, they were eventually tightly bound by the endless Chaotic Chains.

The celestial script on the Chaotic Chains flickered and shifted, forming one sealing formation after another.

Xu Fan waved the celestial tool bone fan in his hand, releasing sealing powers that attached themselves to the chains.

"What’s a lightning dragon to me? In the end, you’ll still be subdued," Xu Fan said, smiling up at the sky.

At that moment, another thunder calamity struck from the sky, breaking through seven layers of Xu Fan’s protective power.

The thousand-hand illusion raised its hand and reinforced the defenses.

"What can you possibly do against my fully equipped thousand-hand illusion?" Xu Fan said, watching as the seven lightning dragons were dragged back by the chains.

By now, the seven lightning dragons were completely entangled by the Chaotic Chains, resembling a massive egg woven from chains.

Just as Xu Fan thought he could easily overcome the thunder calamity, the lightning dragon that had been suppressed beneath the mountain suddenly broke free.

It flew toward Xu Fan and, with a burst of aurora, the lightning dragon self-destructed.

"Boom!!!"

The explosion’s force nearly caused the thousand-hand illusion behind Xu Fan to falter.

Fortunately, the formation disk behind the thousand-hand illusion stabilized the situation.

All the chains binding the lightning dragons snapped, and the seven lightning dragons regained their freedom, charging at Xu Fan once more.

At that moment, Xu Fan noticed that after the lightning dragon exploded, a surge of power entered his body, beginning to enhance his physical form.

Just then, a lightning bolt from one of the dragons struck Xu Fan’s protective power, breaking through four layers.

"The power of those seven lightning dragons has increased," Xu Fan said, his expression turning serious.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t all the lightning dragons eventually explode?

"Looks like I need to be careful!"

The thousand-hand illusion formed seals again.

Xu Fan’s protective powers stacked up to twenty layers.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed in the sky as another thunder calamity struck, breaking through eight layers of protective power.

"The lightning dragons are swarming me, and the thunder calamities keep striking—this feels unfair," Xu Fan said, looking up at the sky.

As if in response to Xu Fan’s words, a lightning dragon unleashed a Lightning Ball with a diameter of a hundred feet, flying toward him with the distinct aura of a thunder calamity.

"Reversal of the universe."

The massive Lightning Ball was redirected into the midst of the seven lightning dragons.

The Lightning Ball exploded, and the immense force nearly tore apart the space in that area.

Yet the seven lightning dragons remained unharmed, looking at Xu Fan with a hint of mockery.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and stepped directly onto the head of one lightning dragon.

He pressed down with both hands, and a sealing formation instantly sealed the lightning dragon.

The dragon shrank into a Thunder Pearl the size of a billiard ball and returned to Xu Fan’s hand.

Xu Fan’s action provoked the furious attacks of the other lightning dragons.

A thunder sword, formed by the remaining seven lightning dragons, slashed toward Xu Fan with celestial might.

"Only a fool would take that head-on."

Xu Fan stepped back, returning to the front of the thousand-hand illusion.

The Thunder Pearl traced a graceful arc before landing inside the body of the thousand-hand illusion.

"You can all self-destruct, right? Show me another one!"
