Chapter 172: Saint Tribulation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What happened?”
The expressions of the sect leader and Elder Chen changed.
They hurried out of the hall and looked up at the sky.
Only to see the sky was covered by endless dark clouds.
The Great Mystery Sect was situated right at the boundary between the dark clouds and the clear sky as if half in purgatory and half in heaven.
The dark clouds stretched for thousands of miles, completely enveloping the entire Great Mystery Mountains.
“What is this? Could it be a heavenly tribulation?”
Elder Chen looked at the scene in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.
This scene…
He had just witnessed something similar in Qingzhou not long ago.
That time, Su Chen and Marquis Champion underwent the Nirvana Tribulations.
But the problem was…
The combined Nirvana Tribulations of those two people only covered a radius of several hundred miles, not even a thousand miles.
As long as a Nirvana Realm expert spread out his divine sense, they would be able to see the whole picture.
But today was different.
The tribulation clouds in front of them covered a radius of thousands of miles without any warning. Not to mention seeing the end of them, they couldn’t even discern where the center of the tribulation clouds was.
“This should be the heavenly tribulation!”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect looked solemn and said, “Moreover, this is no ordinary heavenly tribulation. If I’m not wrong, this should be the legendary Saint Tribulation!”
“Hiss…”
When Elder Chen heard this, he gasped and said, “Saint Tribulation…”
He was extremely shocked.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why someone would coincidentally arrive near the Great Mystery Sect to undergo their Saint Tribulation.
Fortunately…
The person who was undergoing tribulation was quite kind. The tribulation clouds didn’t envelop the Great Mystery Sect.
If it had moved any closer, it was likely the entire sect would be destroyed by the lightning!
After all, not everyone could withstand the Saint Tribulation.
Even the sect protection formation of the Great Mystery Sect couldn’t block it.
“Sect Leader!”
At this moment, Elder Fang rushed over with many elders from the Great Mystery Sect.
A Quasi-Saint Realm expert transcending a tribulation near the Great Mystery Sect was a big deal for the sect!
The entire sect had been affected, so the elders naturally could not sit still.
As soon as Elder Fang landed, he said with a solemn expression, “Sect Leader, I saw a stream of light soaring into the sky from the back mountain. Not long after that, the Saint Tribulation descended. Could this Saint Tribulation have been drawn by the Supreme Elder?”
“Supreme Elder?”
As soon as he said that, everyone was instantly stunned in place.
Everyone present knew that the Great Mystery Sect had Supreme Elders.
However, they did not know how many Supreme Elders there were exactly.
Before encountering the calamity of extermination, the Supreme Elders spent most of their time in seclusion, rarely ventured out, and even passed away quietly.
In the past thousand years, no one knew how many Supreme Elders were left in the Great Mystery Sect.
Even the sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect did not know the exact number.
There might be one or two more, or perhaps not a single one left!
“Elder Fang, are you sure you saw it clearly just now?”
Elder Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.
He had been talking to the sect leader and hadn’t paid attention to the back mountain.
Hearing Elder Fang’s words, everyone could no longer remain calm.
If it really was their Great Mystery Sect’s Supreme Elder transcending tribulation, it would be a great fortune for the entire sect!
As long as the Supreme Elder successfully passed the heavenly tribulation, their Great Mystery Sect would truly rise in power!
“Well… Probably… Perhaps…you are right?”
Elder Fang said with some uncertainty.
He only saw a flash of light from the back mountain.
However, he was really not sure if the person undergoing the tribulation was the Supreme Elder.
If he was mistaken, it would be quite awkward.
“Let’s wait and see. When the heavenly tribulation dissipates, everything will naturally become clear.”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect shook his head and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky.
In such a short period of time, the tribulation clouds in the sky had already become thicker and heavier. Thunder rumbled within them as if something tremendously powerful was about to emerge.
Facing such a heavenly tribulation, everyone couldn’t help but feel as insignificant as specks of dust.
The probability of passing the Saint Tribulation was even lower than the probability of passing the Nirvana Tribulation!
At this moment, there was only endless anticipation in everyone’s hearts.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a lightning dragon that was as long as a mountain range split the heavens and crashed down. In an instant, it illuminated the land for thousands of miles.
This lightning dragon seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.
This scene could be clearly seen within a radius of ten thousand miles.
In just a moment, the entire Great Mystery Mountains had become a dead zone.
Some of the weaker demonic beasts did not even have the chance to scream before they were directly turned into ashes.
These living beings were too weak. Even if they were within the range of the heavenly tribulation, they were unable to increase the power of the heavenly tribulation.
“It’s starting already?”
Su Chen, who had just returned to the courtyard, raised his head and looked at the lightning dragon. He was instantly stunned in place.
Originally, he thought that the Supreme Elder would need ample time to prepare. Yet he did not expect the tribulation to commence so swiftly, without any preparation at all.
“It’s starting!”
Seeing this lightning dragon, everyone in the Great Mystery Sect became nervous.
Rumble!
After the first lightning dragon landed, endless bolts of lightning poured down like the opening of the heavenly river’s floodgates.
The entire span of clouds instantly became a sea of lightning.
Within it, tribulations of Taiyin, Taiyang, Five Elements, and others intertwined together, countless types weaving as one.
“Is the first lightning tribulation already so terrifying?”
Elder Chen felt his internal organs trembling at this moment.
Back then, when Su Chen transcended, there were ten heavenly tribulations!
Yet all of them lacked any attributes.
Now, almost every bolt of lightning in this Saint Tribulation had a certain attribute.
Every bolt within this Saint’s tribulation possessed some attribute. Some of the lightning even countered each other, making it completely impossible for the transcender to resist.
Some thunderbolts could only be withstood by the physical body.
If they couldn’t withstand it, they would be reduced to ashes.
“The most terrifying part of the Saint Tribulation isn’t the lightning tribulation, but the heart-tempering tribulation! No matter how many lightning tribulations you undergo, the last one will definitely be the heart-tempering tribulation! Since ancient times, countless experts have fallen under this final tribulation.”
The sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect said with a solemn expression.
The heart-tempering tribulation was somewhat easier for righteous cultivators to withstand.
But to the people of the demonic path, especially those who had killed too many, it was no less than a calamity!
The number of demonic cultivators who could pass the heart-tempering tribulation could be counted on one hand!
All those who passed through were peerless demons without exception!
“Although I’m not sure if this person is the Supreme Elder of our Great Mystery Sect, I’m not sure, one thing is certain. As long as he can pass the lightning tribulation, he will at least be a Second Tribulation Saint!”
The eyes of the sect leader of the Great Mystery Sect were filled with hope.
How fortuitous it would be if this Second Tribulation Saint was their sect’s own Supreme Elder!
