Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 425
Chapter 425: The Boundary Emperors Blocked The Tribulation Lightning, Giant Colorful Lightning Serpents
The Boundary Emperor’s palm attack sent Chu Kuangren flying.
After flying for a hundred meters, Chu Kuangren held his own body steady and smiled faintly. “Instead of focusing on me, I suggest that you concentrate on the heavenly tribulation. The third round should be here at any moment.”
His words were enough to make the Boundary Emperors feel uncertain.
Although Chu Kuangren could not observe their expressions clearly, they were obviously not enjoying their present circumstances. The Boundary Emperors were stuck with Chu Kuangren in this tricky situation that no one would have enjoyed.
“That brat has that weird immortal ability which makes killing him difficult. But the tribulation lightning that he needs to endure will be way more powerful than ours, so let’s figure out a way to shield ourselves from the lightning first. Then, his tribulation lightning can take care of him!”
“I bet he won’t survive a heavenly tribulation of such magnitude!”
Boundary Emperor Hai Ye snorted.
“That’s right. We’re Boundary Emperors, who are way stronger than him. His Emperor Weapons won’t be able to save him from this heavenly tribulation!”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said firmly.
The Sages were even worried now.
Indeed, the Boundary Emperors were capable of defending themselves from the tribulation lightning before Chu Kuangren would perish. However, the same could not be said for them!
What more for the ordinary Sages on the battlefield!
What about escaping?
They had been marked by the heavenly tribulation, so there was no way for them to escape!
“I beg you, Boundary Emperors. Please save us too!”
“If you save our lives, I swear to dedicate my entire life to your service!”
“Please, Boundary Emperors. Help us!”
The Sages no longer cared about dignity and began begging for help.
“Stand behind us.”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said after a brief moment of silence.
The cultivators hastily went behind them in delight.
Boom!
The third wave of tribulation lightning was here.
All Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang did was lift his hand and formed a light barrier.
The tribulation lightning struck on the barrier’s surface, creating one violent ripple after another. When tribulation lightning was gone, the Sages had managed to survive with the Boundary Emperors’ help.
“The Boundary Emperors are indeed formidable. They have powerful abilities!”
“If a Boundary Emperor exists in my orthodoxy, I need not worry so much about anything.”
“Hmph, now let’s see how Chu Kuangren’s going to die.”
The Sages breathed a sigh of relief.
They then turned to glare at Chu Kuangren with hatred.
Chu Kuangren remained indifferent to their provocation as he retained his usual composure. When the third tribulation lightning struck, he continued to absorb it with his bare flesh.
Universal Cauldron Physique, activated!
A huge amount of tribulation lightning energy was converted and stored as pure energy within his body.
However, what other people saw was the wretched scene of Chu Kuangren blasted away by the tribulation lightning and coughed out a mouthful of blood along his path.
The cultivators were delighted at Chu Kuangren’s apparent misfortune.
“Karma! This is the workings of karma!”
“Chu Kuangren, you’ve committed your fair share of sins. It looks like the heavens have responded by punishing you with such terrifying tribulation lightning!”
“Exactly!”
Rumble…
The fourth wave of tribulation lightning came, and then the fifth wave…
Each wave of tribulation lightning became progressively stronger.
When the sixth tribulation lightning came, Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang was beginning to feel overwhelmed. The lightning’s power was soon equivalent to a Sage Ruler’s power.
Since there were more than a hundred cultivators left, Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang had to shield a wave of tribulation lightning that was as strong as a hundred Sage Rulers’ power!
“Brother Hai Ye, let’s do this together!”
“Alright.”
The Boundary Emperors joined forces, unleashing two surges of Daoist Rhymes to create two layers of shields before them.
As the tribulation lightning continuously struck on the shields, the energy it dispersed was so strong that it caused all the mountains in the vicinity to collapse!
The apocalyptic sight was worrying, to say the least.
Soon, the hundreds of tribulation lightning went away.
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang and Boundary Emperor Hai Ye had also removed the spiritual veil that masked their body, revealing their appearances for the first time.
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang was an elder in a light yellow robe, while Boundary Emperor Hai Ye looked like a middle-aged man with a horn protruding from his head.
The duo looked at the tribulation clouds with the utmost concern.
They could sense that the heavenly tribulation aura was growing to become more violent.
“If this goes on, I’m afraid we can’t protect these Sages at the seventh wave anymore,” Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said solemnly.
“Chu Kuangren must die in this wave.”
The cultivators glared at Chu Kuangren in perturb. If Chu Kuangren survived, it would mean that their deaths in the next wave of tribulation lightning were certain!
Without the help from the Boundary Emperors, they were defenseless against the next wave!
On the other hand, Chu Kuangren seemed to be in a miserable state at the moment.
His hair was loose while his body was still soaked in blood.
However, a closer inspection would reveal that not only was Chu Kuangren unafraid, but he was also staring at the tribulation clouds with excitement.
The previous waves of tribulation lightning had granted him an enormous amount of energy. Now, he was seventy percent confident that he could instantly ascend into the Supreme Sage Foundation Level!
Even then, he wanted more!
Rumble…
The sixth wave of tribulation lightning was here.
An endless amount of lightning energy amassed and formed an enormous colorful giant serpent that snapped its jaws as it charged ferociously towards Chu Kuangren!
“Die! Die for the sake of all of us!”
“Chu Kuangren, hurry up and die!”
The cultivators cursed at Chu Kuangren upon witnessing the formation of the giant serpent.
Boom!
With the burst of an explosion, the giant serpent fell onto Chu Kuangren’s body. The violent energy that resulted from the clash created a massive crater beneath Chu Kuangren.
The giant serpent’s attack had buried Chu Kuangren thousands of meters deep underground!
The destructive tribulation lightning energy split the earth, sending a massive vibration that spread ten thousand kilometers through the ground. It was appalling to see the whole prefecture shake.
“Was it a success?”
“Did Chu Kuangren finally die? With that amount of energy, his body would have been crushed into smithereens by the impact, and the lightning would have incinerated whatever was left of him! His Emperor Weapons won’t be able to save him this time.”
“He must have died…”
The Sages looked at each other. For once, they began to rejoice.
Then, the sky rumbled again.
The rumbling shattered all hopes the Sages had, and they descended into a state of utter helplessness.
The rumbling signified the commencement of the seventh wave of tribulation lightning!
Chu Kuangren was not dead!
“Why?! Why hasn’t Chu Kuangren died yet?!”
“F*ck! I don’t want to die!”
“Boundary Emperors, please save us from this situation!”
The Boundary Emperors looked up and were horrified to see dozens of colorful giant serpents emerging out of the clouds.
Each giant serpent was equivalent to an attack from a Boundary Emperor!
“I suggest that you say your prayers now.”
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang said coldly.
The Sages turned completely blank at the Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang’s suggestion.
“I don’t want to die! No!”
No longer able to withstand the stress, a Great Sage dashed into the distance as if he had lost his mind. He wanted to escape the tribulation cloud’s perimeter.
However, it was not long before he crashed into a colorful barrier.
It was the Light of Heavenly Tribulation!
It was a barrier erected to stop any ascension candidates from escaping.
Never had this barrier been broken before in history.
The Great Sage crazily unleashed his attacks on the barrier but to no avail!
As the seventh wave of tribulation lightning commenced, the colorful giant serpents began to glide across the sky, each searching for its victim to devour.
One by one, the Sages were soon turned into burned ashes under this power.
Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang and Boundary Emperor Hai Ye unleashed their attacks and managed to survive the giant serpents that came for them.
Sage Ruler Zhang Guang and the others were forced into using their last resorts at the expense of their life force to defend against the lightning serpents.
When the seventh wave finally ended, the only remaining survivors were the Boundary Emperors, Sage Ruler Zhang Guang, Master Daoist Yun Tao, Acheron Manor Lord, Sacred Palace of Death Lord, and the Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller.
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord’s last resort was not enough. After the serpent’s attack, all that was left of him was splattered chunks of meat.
All of the cultivators throughout Firmament Stars who were observing the battle were stunned into silence. In their minds were an indescribable shock.
