I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 145: Stuck By Lightning In Foundation Establishment Stage?

The sight of the overly arrogant Shen Tian, whose body was covered with fiery flames, scared the remaining three Divine Binding Vines out of their wits.

How were they going to fight against him? The human before them was wearing the Black Tortoise Armor—their attacks could not break through his defense at all!

What was more ridiculous was that the Divine Binding Vines’ body toughness was unmatched—it was difficult for even Dharma artifacts to slice them apart—yet to Shen Tian, it was just like chewing sugarcane. It was as if he didn’t feel pressured at all and was enjoying a meal.

The vines could not defeat Shen Tian through battling, nor could they beat him in a battle of biting. Originally, they could use their advantage of numbers to restrain him, but they were unable to do even that now.

This human was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but his speed, strength, and defense were all through the roof, and each piece of equipment he wore was better than the previous one. He was both powerful and wealthy, so wasn’t he bullying the vines!?

Shen Tian’s hair was still standing, meaning he was still in the full-out state. Thus, the Divine Binding Vines chose to escape without hesitation and simultaneously used their vines to smack the ground. Then their vines’ branches pounced at Shen Tian like pythons.

Shen Tian snarled, “Yes, come at me!”

He charged toward those wines with the Purple Golden Hammer and Jade Water Sword in his hands while circulating all of his Dharmic powers and Qi Aura.

Boom!

The Purple Golden Hammer smashed onto the vines heavily, but Shen Tian did not sense a bit of resistance at all. The Divine Binding Vines’ branches had directly broken.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the three main bodies of the Divine Binding Vines had already gone all out in controlling their roots and ran toward the spirit fog’s depths.

Oh, my Mother Vine! This human is so powerful, and we can’t defeat him! Don’t kill us! Help! We’re going to die!

The intelligence of plant-type demons was far lower than humans’, and it was even lower than those beast demons of the same stage. The intelligence of a Golden Core Divine Binding Vine was equal to a young child.

After seeing that Shen Tian had annihilated so many of their comrades, how would they still dare to continue fighting with him? They simply ran away and instantly disappeared from Shen Tian’s line of sight.

Originally Shen Tian was prepared to chase the three Divine Binding Vines that escaped. Although their appearance was not desirable, their taste was mouth-watering.

However, Shen Tian recalled the consequences of chasing after the Divine Binding Vine previously and instantly stopped.

Forget it! It’s too dangerous in this Fog Plain. It’s more important to go somewhere safe and stay low to survive.

What if he encountered another Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine while chasing after the vines?

Shen Tian could not guarantee that he could escape once again.

There were many ways to increase one’s strength in the road of cultivation, but one only had one life, so safety was first. Not being cautious in adventuring would result in certain death!

Shen Tian decided not to care about other things and leave the Fog Plain first. As long as he left the area enshrouded by the spirit fog, he could use the Saint Token to inform the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s elders.

By then, with all of Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s powerful being, Shen Tian believed that no matter how strong the mastermind behind this was, it would not be able to win against a whole sacred ground.

After devouring a large amount of Divine Binding Vine juice, Shen Tian discovered that the influence on his spiritual power and sense of vision in the Spirit Fog had decreased. Currently, he could already see hundreds of meters away through the spirit fog, and his spiritual power could control Dharma artifacts and talismans to help in battling again.

He could also barely use the Sword Kinesis Flight, but he could not go too fast as it would be tragic if he collided with a mountain.

The Lotus Shooting Gun was under Shen Tian’s feet, his right hand was holding the Purple Golden Hammer, his left hand was holding the Jade Water Sword, the Black Tortoise Armor was covering his whole body, and the Black Tortoise Shield was on his back. The eight Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns floated around Shen Tian and were ready to shoot at any time.

Shen Tian was armed to the teeth and fearless as long as no Nascent Soul being were present.

The only thing that troubled Shen Tian was that although he could see hundreds of meters through the spirit fog, the Fog Plain was simply too huge, way larger than just a few hundred meters.

Shen Tian stepped on the Lotus Shooting Gun and headed toward the Fog Plain’s outer perimeter.

In the end, he was still unable to fly out of the area enshrouded by the spirit fog. He remembered that the three vines had not walked this far away!

What was ridiculous was that the further Shen Tian flew, he realized that thick black clouds had actually appeared on top of his head. He could vaguely see lightning jumping within the black clouds, like purple divine dragons that were giving off an impressive aura.

That kind of aura belonged to a highly-dignified supreme being and made one have the impulse of wanting to lower their head and kowtow. It was extremely powerful.

As Shen Tian cultivated the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique, he had sensed that it was the unique aura of Heavenly Tribulation!

At that moment, Shen Tian was astounded. How was it possible, why would a Heavenly Tribulation appear on top of his head?

One should know that normally, Heavenly Tribulation would only occur after late-stage Soul Formation cultivators were close to breaking through. The Heavenly Tribulation could refine the cultivator’s physical body, strengthening their body and forming heavenly aura.

However, why would the Heavenly Tribulation clouds appear in the Fog Plain and on top of my head?

Is it possible that I’m the extremely rare talent that is seen in the cultivation world, needing to transcend the tribulation just at the Foundation Establishment stage?

Such a setting is simply too commonly used!

Is it possible that just because I’m the peerless genius of this era, with extraordinary temperament and astonishing talent, that I must be discriminated against by the Heavenly Dao?

At that thought, Shen Tian silently stopped and hopped off his Lotus Shooting Gun. He also put away all the Demon-Penetrating Guns floating around him.

He had to stay far away from any metal-type items, try his best not to stand in any open space, and find suitable shelter as soon as possible during lightning days.

That was what his primary school teacher had taught him.

Shen Tian comforted himself, Don’t be too nervous, don’t worry. What if this Heavenly Tribulation isn’t mine?

The most pressing matter now was to hurry and find a shelter, or else it would be too dangerous.

Shen Tian started running within the spirit fog with his back bent until he could finally see a mountain valley vaguely. He was elated and hurriedly ran toward that mountain valley.

At the same time, he wore the Phoenix Feather Mask. The clouds filled with lightning had already become thicker as if lightning would strike any moment. The more protective equipment, the better!

...

The mountain valley was huge. It was thousands of meters in height alone, vaguely piercing into the sky. Its breadth was astonishing as well. Shen Tian could not see the ends of the mountain valley at all—it was a long vast stretch.

It was also unknown if it was due to the Heavenly Tribulation’s influence, but the spirit fog within the valley was not very thick. It was instead extremely thin.

Shen Tian used his sword to dig a hole halfway up the mountain valley and hid inside completely. He then used the stones outside to block the entrance.

After finishing, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now there should not be any more accidents after so many precautions!

Shen Tian firmly believed that this lightning tribulation was definitely not his. Even if Foundation Establishment cultivators needed to undergo lightning tribulation, it should be a weaker lightning tribulation.

Given the lightning’s intensity in the sky, it was not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could endure! Impossible!

Even if it were a Nascent Soul Supremacy, they would instantly turn into ash from being smitten by the lightning within the clouds!

Evidently, the lightning tribulation was someone else’s, and it would be fine if he was not implicated in it.

Shen Tian lay in the cave and finally relaxed. He was completely exhausted.

He took out Spirit Stones to recover his condition back to its peak and sliced a few Divine Binding Vines into two to drink their juices. It had been a long time since he could enjoy a cozy life—it was just that simple.

However, Shen Tian felt like he had overlooked something... and suddenly, a shiver ran down his spine. He knew what he had overlooked!

OMG! Since that’s not my lightning tribulation, then whose is it!?

He remembered that the Mother Vine had said she would possess him once she succeeded in surviving the tribulation.

So... The lightning tribulation is actually directed at the Mother Divine Binding Vine because she is about to enter the Saint realm?

But why would the Mother Divine Binding Vine’s lightning tribulation be on top of me?

Sssss~!

Shen Tian thought of a frightening possibility.

Is it possible that the Mother Vine was nearby?

It can’t be that I chose the wrong direction when using Sword Kinesis Flight just now...

After pressing forward with an indomitable will, I headed straight into the demon nest!
