Dragon Spirit looked at Xuan Chu’s expression and naturally knew what was going on in this guy’s head, but he couldn’t care less.

Instead, he very naturally ordered Xuan Chu around: "Er Dan’s Heavenly Tribulation is about to come down. With that flimsy body of yours right now, you’d better find a place to hide!"

Dragon Spirit felt he really was a good person. At a time like this, he still had spare energy to worry about Xuan Chu.

Xuan Chu had originally wanted to talk back. Even if he wasn’t in great shape right now, he wasn’t so bad that he needed to go hide.

But right then, Er Dan’s eggshell suddenly shattered all over the ground without the slightest warning.

The three people positioned in different spots all had their faces change at the exact same time.

Dragon Spirit even directly cursed out loud: "Damn it, what kind of hatching is this, how come there wasn’t the tiniest sign?!"

The rumbling sound of ’boom rumble rumble’ rang out, and at the same time, the sky directly turned blackish red.

Right now, none of them had any spare attention to look at what Er Dan actually looked like after breaking the shell.

A bolt of Heavenly Thunder as thick as a water bucket crashed straight toward the valley.

That Protective Gang Qi that had looked so sturdy turned into crispy paper the instant it met the Heavenly Thunder.

With a loud "crash," it all shattered.

Yun Ran: ...

Good grief, with that kind of power, this Heavenly Thunder really did have a bit of that end-of-the-world vibe.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and dodge! You really wanna get fried to death?!"

Dragon Spirit saw Xuan Chu and Yun Ran still stupidly staring up at the sky and was instantly fuming. At a critical moment like this, not a single one of them was reliable!

The moment the Gang Qi Barrier shattered, the previously very quiet Array was instantly activated.

The Heavenly Thunder Order began spinning rapidly, rushing up first to catch the incoming Heavenly Thunder.

The intense light made Yun Ran reflexively close her eyes, and Xuan Chu wasn’t doing much better.

Even Dragon Spirit’s shout at the two of them was completely drowned out in the thunder.

Of the three on the field, only Dragon Spirit’s eyes weren’t affected at all; he could even clearly see those runes on the Heavenly Thunder Order flickering bright and dim.

But the power of this bolt of Heavenly Thunder was just too much. The Heavenly Thunder Order blocked most of it, yet quite a bit still leaked out and spread around.

The second Defensive Array Yun Ran had set up was also quickly triggered.

Those leftover scattered Heavenly Thunders were instantly trapped by the Array, and in the end, only a gigantic pit was left behind.

The first Heavenly Thunder hadn’t even completely dispersed when the second bolt followed right on its heels.

Yun Ran felt like her eyes were about to be flash-banged blind, but thankfully, she had already made preparations beforehand.

She quickly pulled out what looked like a thin gauze eye mask, and after covering her eyes with it, Yun Ran’s eyes were finally saved.

After that, Yun Ran generously handed another one to Xuan Chu.

"Lending this to you. Remember to give it back when you’re done!"

The noise coming from the sky was just too loud. Even though Yun Ran and Xuan Chu were standing very close right now, they still couldn’t hear what the other was saying.

But Xuan Chu’s perception was still sharp as ever. The moment Yun Ran reached her hand over, he knew.

Taking the eye mask, Xuan Chu put it on, and it immediately blocked out that blinding light that had nearly burned his eyes out.

The second bolt of Heavenly Thunder quickly came down. This time, both Yun Ran and Xuan Chu turned tail and ran without hesitation.

The previous Heavenly Thunder had come too fast and too sudden, so they hadn’t had time to react.

The body of the Heavenly Thunder Order had originally been black, but after being "charged" by two bolts of Heavenly Thunder, it actually started changing bit by bit.

Dragon Spirit watched as the Heavenly Thunder came down and then got completely dealt with by Yun Ran.

Normally, this would be a good thing, but right now it was Er Dan undergoing Thunder Tribulation. Even if they were cheating, there should at least be a limit.

At the very least, Er Dan had to get struck by the Heavenly Thunder a few times.

Dragon Spirit didn’t even bother consulting Yun Ran and the others. He just grabbed Er Dan, who had just broken shell and was still all sticky and slimy, and walked to the edge of the Array.

Yun Ran and Xuan Chu finally saw Er Dan’s true appearance at this moment.

It looked like a drenched chicken that had fallen into water, the only difference being that Er Dan was several sizes larger than your average soaked chicken.

They watched as the leftover power of the second Heavenly Thunder blasted another huge pit into the ground and then gradually dispersed.

Dragon Spirit raised his hand and tossed, and Er Dan drew a parabola through the air before landing in that pit.

Those Heavenly Thunders were just like they had some kind of auto-lock-on skill.

The moment Er Dan appeared, those Heavenly Thunders that had already seeped into the ground instantly sprang back up, desperately trying to teach Er Dan a lesson.

And right then, a tender little voice rang out at the same time: "Ah... oww... Awoo ┗|｀O′|┛ awoo~~..."

The sound was so tragically miserable and abstract that Yun Ran and the others immediately guessed this had to be Er Dan’s voice.

Listening to a voice that could pierce straight through the suppressive thunder, Yun Ran suddenly sort of understood why the consciousness of this world couldn’t tolerate Er Dan.

The thing had barely hatched and already had this kind of ability. If they let it grow up, wouldn’t that be a disaster.

But Yun Ran didn’t feel the slightest bit sorry for Er Dan. On the contrary, she felt Er Dan’s screams were particularly pleasant to the ear.

Even though she’d given up on the idea of eating Er Dan, Er Dan getting wrecked like this still kinda counted as her getting her pride back.

That’s right, she was exactly that petty!

Suddenly, a breeze of unknown origin blew gently past.

After Er Dan hatched, those originally hard eggshells, as if having completed their mission, had all their contained energy sucked dry by it.

When Dragon Spirit grabbed it off to face the Heavenly Tribulation, those eggshells directly turned into fine dust.

Now, that eggshell dust got carried everywhere by the wind and ended up plastered all over Yun Ran’s face.

Yun Ran: ...

Luckily, she’d put on the eye mask beforehand, otherwise this powder would definitely have gotten blown into her eyes.

One bolt after another of Heavenly Thunder crashed down. Most of the Heavenly Thunder’s power was still being blocked by Yun Ran’s Lifebound Magical Artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Order.

The rest was then trapped by the Array.

So Er Dan only endured about one ten-thousandth of the Heavenly Thunder. Aside from some pain and a few screams, Er Dan was practically unscathed.

This kind of barefaced cheating, while still technically within the rules, still managed to piss the Heavenly Thunder off.

An incomparably creepy Thunder Force pressure instantly locked onto Yun Ran and the others.

The disguise on Dragon Spirit’s body was shattered in an instant, leaving him unable to even maintain human form as his Dragon Soul true body was exposed.

Yun Ran wasn’t any better off. A thin line of bright red blood slid from the corner of her mouth.

This Heavenly Thunder was clearly coming at her with the intent to kill.

If she hadn’t released the Dao Lineage on her body at the very first moment...

And if there wasn’t a massive square seal phantom floating above her head blocking this wave of assassination...

She might really have dropped dead on the spot.
