Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 424
Chapter 424: Terrifying Power of the Heavenly Tribulation, Converting The Tribulation Lightning Energy
“Everyone, enjoy this grand heavenly tribulation party!”
Chu Kuangren laughed while the sky let out a deafening grumble.
The tribulation lightning was already forming!
The terrifying lightning was forming in the center of the whirlpool, taking after the colors of the clouds and gliding across the sky like giant serpents.
Once the tribulation lightning amassed enough power, countless lightning would be released and spread throughout the tribulation perimeter.
The cultivators were trembling at the sight of the tribulation lightning.
“Quick, please think of something!”
“We must find a way to disrupt the tribulation lightning. Otherwise, we will all die here!”
The tribulation lightning was immensely powerful.
Just its aura alone struck a deep fear in all of the Sages’ souls.
Moreover, the longer it progressed, the more terrifying the tribulation would become!
“Kill Chu Kuangren! He’s the one who invoked the heavenly tribulation while we’re all just dragged into it! Once he’s dead, the heavenly tribulation will disappear!”
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang said loudly.
Every cultivator was staring at Chu Kuangren with murderous intentions.
Chu Kuangren gestured for them to come forth with his finger. “Bring it on!”
On this day, only one side would walk out of the situation alive!
It was either Chu Kuangren or the hundred thousand cultivator-army that would make the Black Heaven Sect their burial grounds!
“Kill!”
“Kill Chu Kuangren!”
With death looming over their heads, the cultivators went insane.
They had even forgotten the fact that Chu Kuangren could not be killed by two Boundary Emperors. Hence, how could they possibly be capable of killing him?
The great army charged towards Chu Kuangren, each striking with different forms of attacks.
Chu Kuangren stood firmly and summoned the Divine Ferocious Avatar.
The avatar formed before Chu Kuangren and blocked all the attacks!
At that instance, a colorful ray of light descended from the sky. The ray of light contained an endless mysterious Daoist Rhymes, which transformed into a spherical forcefield that spanned thousands of kilometers across. It was… the Light of Heavenly Tribulation!
The heavenly tribulation had commenced!
“Acheron Manor Lord, is your Nine Profound Heavens Fire Forcefield capable of blocking this heavenly tribulation?!” the Sacred Palace of Death Lord asked.
Only then did the crowd remember that the Acheron Manor Lord had previously mobilized the Nine Profound Heavens Fire Forcefield. It had a wide area of effect, and it was also a Boundary Emperor Weapon.
The cultivators suddenly looked at the Acheron Manor Lord for any signs of hope.
“Let’s not cling onto false hope. The Nine Profound Heavens Fire Forcefield is meant for sealing a perimeter, not defending it. It does nothing to the heavenly tribulation.”
The Acheron Manor Lord’s words shattered any remnants of hope left within the cultivators.
Boom!
Countless blasts rang out like the incessant firing of cannonballs.
Rays after rays of lightning came striking down like hailstorms.
How magnificent was a hundred thousand lightning striking within one area?!
Even the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation could not conceal an event of that magnitude as powerful cultivators throughout the entire Firmament Star could sense it.
They all looked dumbfoundedly towards the direction of the Black Heaven Sect.
This was especially true for the spectators stationed nearer to the Black Heaven Sect, they saw colorful tribulation clouds that covered the sky and the countless different-colored lightning that had dyed the entire realm into a spectacular sight.
Most of them were forced to cover their ears at the incessant rumbling of the thunder.
Boom!
One of the Battle Monarchs was struck by the tribulation lightning. Before he could scream, he was already reduced to ashes.
Perhaps ascending into a Sage was his lifelong dream.
He probably would have worked incredibly hard in this Era of Great Dharma Emergence to stand a chance in becoming a Sage and go through his own ascension.
However, he was only a Battle Monarch at this point.
Yet, he already had the opportunity to experience what it was like to ascend. Alas, a lowly Battle Monarch like him was incapable of passing the tribulation.
The nameless Battle Monarch was not the only one who had perished. Countless other cultivators like him, too, now finally had the privilege to experience what ascension was like. Unfortunately, not many could survive.
Just the first cascade of lightning had wiped out ninety percent of the cultivator-army. Within Black Heaven Sect’s perimeter, the tribulation lightning had formed myriads of craters with electrical charges still lingering within them.
The spectators outside the perimeter stared with their mouths agape. Having witnessed the sight, all they could feel was their body stiffening and their scalps tingling.
This was the force of nature!
The true power of the force of nature!
Near the border of the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation floated an enormous Fairy boat that was protected by a formless shield.
It was the Illusive Mirage!
Onboard the Illusive Mirage were the cultivators of the Black Heaven Sect.
As they stared at the colorful tribulation clouds, they felt a mixed sense of shock and concern.
“I see, so this is the trump card the Sect Leader was talking about!”
Elder Ruyan murmured.
All along, Elder Ruyan had assumed the trump card to be the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation. In fact, it was not surprising as well, considering how the mega formation’s power had taken out most of the army’s manpower.
Even so, the formation was not Chu Kuangren’s ultimate weapon.
His trump card was the Heavenly Dao!
It was heavenly tribulation!
“Never in history has someone brought along a hundred thousand cultivators to ascend them. The Sect Leader is insane!”
The Black Heaven Second Forefather and Third Forefather were shocked, to say the least.
“Have you not gotten used to his insane methods?”
Immemorial Sage laughed bitterly.
“Can the Sect Leader withstand a heavenly tribulation of this magnitude?”
Nangong Huang and the disciples said, worried.
“Yes! Master can definitely pull this off!”
Lan Yu said determinedly.
“Indeed. In the past few years, Chu Kuangren had managed to pull off what many thought was impossible. This will not be an exception.”
Linglong took a deep breath as she stared ahead at the battlefield.
The only choice they had left was to have faith in Chu Kuangren.
The first wave of heavenly tribulation had taken out an overwhelming majority of the cultivator-army. Those who survived were mostly Sages and a few excellent Honorables.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was also facing his first round of tribulation lightning.
Compared to others, Chu Kuangren was the main focus of the Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation. The tribulation lightning that would strike him was deadlier than the other cultivators’.
The lightning that struck down could easily destroy a Sage.
However, it was insignificant to Chu Kuangren.
With the wave of his halberd, the tribulation lightning was reduced into particles. As its lightning energy was dispersed into the surroundings, Chu Kuangren found a surprising revelation.
Was his Universal Cauldron Physique responding to the tribulation lightning?!
Could the tribulation lightning be a form of energy?!
Chu Kuangren pondered deeply.
However, the second wave of tribulation lightning soon arrived.
Compared to the previous wave, the second wave was stronger!
Boom!
As the lightning struck the cultivators, more than half of the Supreme Honorables perished, leaving the Sages as the only survivors in this tribulation. It was only the second wave.
The heavenly tribulation had nine rounds!
Each round would be far deadlier than the last!
Similarly, Chu Kuangren’s second tribulation lightning was significantly more destructive than the rest.
If the rest experienced the same magnitude of lightning in the second wave, Chu Kuangren’s tribulation lightning would have wiped out most of the Sages on the battlefield.
To test his hypothesis, Chu Kuangren did not destroy the tribulation lightning this time. Instead, he reduced the power of his Innate Ferocious Armor, allowing the lightning to flow into his limbs and body.
The Universal Cauldron Physique was activated!
To Chu Kuangren’s delight, the Universal Cauldron Physique converted the tribulation lightning into pure energies before storing it within his body.
“What a surprising finding.”
Chu Kuangren smirked.
At that instance, a magnificent palm qi stuck toward him.
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang had made his move.
