Chapter 749: Chapter 252: First Grade Heavenly Tribulation, Heavenly Slaying Thunder Tribulation!
As the crowd at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace was still discussing, a ear-splitting thunderclap suddenly resounded across the entire heaven and earth. The booming noise that erupted was so loud that some mortals with insufficient Cultivation, merely by hearing this thunderclap, would have their minds crash on the spot!
This was the fury of the Heavenly Tribulation!
Toward this man who had continuously provoked it, a rage was born from the core of its being!
Without the slightest pause, a ghastly White Thunder, visible from a thousand miles away, suddenly enveloped Chen Qiu in the distant sky. The power of this Heavenly Tribulation was exceedingly rare among the world, the most powerful Heavenly Tribulation on Vast Continent, without equal!
The strength of this Heavenly Tribulation was already far beyond what any in the Body Integration Realm could encounter.
If the previous thunders were merely appetizers, this one was truly a hard-hitting main dish!
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master, standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace, looked toward the faraway thunder that tore through the sky with eyes full of fear. The mere leakage of its power stirred up an ultimate terror in his heart.
This fear wasn’t based on the level of Cultivation.
But on… but on… a qualitative level.
It was like a mortal thrown into the Deep Sea in the darkness of night, where no land or human trace could be seen, where the distant sea’s surface melded with the heavens and earth, where one could only smell the fishy odor and hear the ceaseless sound of waves crashing.
The entire Deep Sea seemed to turn into a monstrous beast, eager to swallow you whole.
One couldn’t find any hope for survival.
It seemed as though there was only one path—death itself.
With this kind of despair, when he looked toward the thunder on the horizon, he felt this exact sensation—an extreme despair that didn’t leave any space for resistance!
Suddenky, a figure shot toward them, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than a senior. However, the senior appeared quite ragged, his body covered in torn clothes, riddled with scars, and he looked absolutely bloody, clearly having suffered serious injuries.
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master looked up at the approaching Heavenly Tribulation and the terrifying and overwhelming force of heaven and earth rushing towards the Heavenly Palace. With eyes filled with fear and despair, he trembled, “How… can I help you…”
The situation started to take a turn for the worse.
Clearly, the senior couldn’t withstand this Heavenly Tribulation. This was only the first thunder and yet, there were at least nine more for the Body Integration Heavenly Tribulation. In other words, there were at least eight more to come, each more powerful than the first.
Just from the first thunder, the senior had been so severely injured—one could imagine that with the next eight thunders, it was almost impossible for the senior to withstand. In other words, death was inevitable!
The senior was going to… fall here.
However, the senior shot in their direction, which would lead the Tribulation Cloud to determine them as Guardians and accompany Chen Qiu through the Tribulation. How could they possibly survive a Tribulation of this level? They would also die here.
He almost wanted to run away at the first opportunity.
But out of trust for the senior, he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. Even though his legs were shaking like a sieve, he still didn’t take a step back; instead, he stood in place, looking towards the senior, to see if he could be of any help.
After all, based on what he knew of the senior’s character, the senior wasn’t the type to accept certain death and then drag others down with him. Since the senior had come to find them, it meant that there must be some way they could be useful.
The blood-soaked Chen Qiu shot towards the Heavenly Palace Gate like a beam of light. After landing, he casually glanced at the few people present, then with a wave of his sleeve, he swept away the Demon Suppression Tower situated in the center of the Heavenly Palace. He then left the Heavenly Palace without any hesitation and shot away into the distance again!
And the Tribulation Cloud also swiftly followed in the direction of Chen Qiu!
Fat Long, who had just held unlimited trust in Chen Qiu, now looked towards the thunder in the sky and the bloody departing Chen Qiu. After a lengthy, expressionless silence, he took out a Cowhide Book from his bosom, licked his fingertip, and began to flip through the pages.
“Let’s check if dying during the Heavenly Tribulation will annihilate the Divine Soul, to see if we have a chance to continue our bonds in the underworld.”
“Maybe we should plan ahead, bring some old acquaintances with us? Like the Heavenly Axe Sect Master, for example, to avoid Brother Qiu feeling lonely in the underworld for lack of familiar faces.”
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master standing beside them had no intention of joining the conversation. His soul was already tormented as he looked towards the Tribulation Cloud that shrouded the heavens and earth. He didn’t understand why the senior had suddenly returned to take the Demon Suppression Tower. Could there be a particular reason for this?
He was at the peak of Void Refining, preparing to break through to the Unification and face the Body Integration Heavenly Tribulation. Thus, he was somewhat familiar with the power of the Body Integration Tribulation, but the intensity of Chen Qiu’s experienced heavenly tribulation greatly exceeded expectations!
If one would call the normal tribulation power for someone at the peak of Void Refining advancing to Unification as 1.
Then the power of the Body Integration Tribulation that the senior was experiencing would be at least… 10, a tenfold difference and that was a conservative estimate since he found it hard to determine the exact difference.
Meanwhile, Chen Qiu, suspended in the high sky, looked up at the dark Tribulation Cloud above him, now firmly locked onto him and brewing the second thunder, then looked down at the thousands of wounds on his body, he sighed lightly, remaining silent.
