Chapter 1247: Divine Beast Tribulation

Chapter 1247: Shen Shou Jie

Boom! Rumble!

The starry sky trembled, and the rumbling thunder shook the nine heavens.

Under the watchful eyes of all, high in the ethereal void, lightning raged and immortal light overflowed. Strange colors burst forth, and visions intertwined, featuring a divine dragon coiling upward and a phoenix rising from the flames in rebirth.

Wow!

Below, exclamations of astonishment filled the air. Those with keen insight were wide-eyed in awe, as if they understood the significance of this divine beast heavenly tribulation.

Compared to you, it’s still a bit short!

Long Yi glanced at Ye Chen. After all, when Ye Chen had advanced to the Kong Ming Jing in the past, he had summoned visions of four divine beasts and one sacred beast in the thunder. Later, when advancing to the Zhun Tian Jing, it was even more spectacular, triggering the Dao imprints of the nine peak emperors of Da Chu and causing a massive uproar across the entire land.

Your Huang Jing heavenly tribulation will be even more epic!

Long Yi spoke with a tone of deep sincerity, knowing that Ye Chen was suppressing his Huang Jing tribulation. He seemed to realize what kind of scene the holy body’s Huang Jing tribulation would create—absolutely more intense than what had happened in Da Chu back then.

In response, Ye Chen simply smiled faintly, as he was already accustomed to it.

Recalling the past, even before fusing with the holy body essence, he had triggered a heavenly tribulation when advancing to the Ren Yuan Jing.

In short, his entire journey had been forged through tribulations, and he was long used to it.

With another smile, Ye Chen stepped back.

Long Yi did the same, retreating alongside Ye Chen.

Not just them—everyone watching from the surroundings was also pulling back in all directions, because the heavenly tribulation was coming, and it wasn’t an ordinary punishment. If they got too close, they might get caught in it.

Boom!

As a muffled rumble echoed from the void, a massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for the ancient star.

War!

A roar rang out as a figure in white robes burst from the ancient star, soaring upward and shattering the lightning with a single punch.

It was a young man in white, with black hair cascading like a waterfall and eyes bright as stars. His vital energy surged like a tide, vast as the sea, enveloped in immortal light, like a blazing sun illuminating the vast starry sky.

Hmm?

Spotting the young man’s face, Long Yi let out a soft sound of surprise from the crowd and instinctively looked toward Ye Chen.

As if knowing what Long Yi wanted to ask, Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

What a coincidence!

Long Yi sighed in amazement, never expecting that the one undergoing the tribulation was a reincarnated soul from Da Chu—and someone they knew extremely well. After reincarnation, he had gained immense fortune and possessed a dominant bloodline.

Boom! Rumble!

From the void above, even more lightning bolts rained down, converging into a sea of thunder that instantly engulfed the young man in white.

Break!

In the next instant, the young man roared in anger, cleaving through the sea of thunder with a palm strike and charging upward once more.

His actions enraged the heavens, making the entire starry sky quake. A thunder dragon dove down from above, spewing lightning that blasted him away. Before he could hit the ground, he was struck by a thunder phoenix.

The young man in white was injured, his fresh blood splattering everywhere.

War!

With another roar, he drew a killing sword and charged back into the heavens, gripping the sword as he ascended.

Boom! Rumble!

The thunder rumbled even more fiercely, with lightning pouring down like rain from the ethereal void. The young man bathed in the thunder, wielding his divine sword in battle against the thunder dragon and phoenix, his aura swallowing mountains and rivers.

It was a terrifying sight, leaving many below pale-faced, as few had ever witnessed such a scene.

This is way stronger than his previous life!

Long Yi marveled in astonishment, not even mentioning other aspects—just this bloodline was incomparable to his past incarnation.

Compared to Long Yi, Ye Chen furrowed his brow slightly, glancing toward one side. His gaze fell on a black-robed figure in the corner of the crowd. In the previous instant, Ye Chen had clearly sensed a surge of killing intent from that person, directed straight at the young man undergoing the tribulation.

Retracting his gaze, Ye Chen looked toward another direction, his eyes landing on a red-haired youth and a hunched old woman.

Like the black-robed elder, the red-haired youth and the hunched old woman also revealed killing intent, targeted at the young man in white.

Three Sheng Ren!

Ye Chen’s brow knitted tighter. Such a lineup meant that regardless of whether the young man succeeded in his tribulation, it would be a deadly trap. The young man was only at the Huang Jing, so how could he stand against three Sheng Ren?

This was just what he had detected—there were likely more hidden in the shadows, ready to strike and kill the young man.

This is troublesome!

Ye Chen took a deep breath, a hint of madness flickering in his eyes.

Thud!

While Ye Chen was frowning, the young man in white above had his body torn apart and was plummeting downward.

However, despite his severe injuries, he had successfully slain the thunder phoenix.

Roar!

The thunder dragon, carrying the heavenly tribulation, dove down from above with its maw wide open, spewing lightning. The young man, who had just risen, was immediately blasted away, his body nearly reduced to ashes.

War!

Stabilizing himself, the young man shouted like thunder, dragging his blood-soaked form into the void and slashing out a silver galaxy with his sword, splitting the thunder dragon in two.

He actually slew the thunder dragon!

This person’s combat power is beyond imagination!

If he grows, he’ll surely become a major overlord!

Discussions erupted below, filled with shock and awe toward the young man in white, though many were already harboring murderous thoughts.

This is bad!

Long Yi also sensed something was wrong, constantly scanning the surroundings.

Boom! Rumble!

With the thunder dragon slain, the heavenly tribulation continued to rage, but its power waned like a heavy rain with scattered drops.

The young man in white withstood it head-on, swinging his sword relentlessly to extinguish swaths of lightning.

For this, he paid a heavy price—his body was ravaged by the thunder, covered in wounds, and his fresh blood stained the starry sky.

After an unknown amount of time, the rumbling thunder finally faded and dissipated.

As the lightning scattered, the once desolate ancient star was blasted into dust. The young man in white fell from the void, his body a mess of blood and bones, unrecognizable and in a state of weakness.

Seeing the tribulation end, someone hidden in the shadows suddenly unleashed a divine light.

However, Ye Chen was faster. The moment the lightning vanished, he used Shrinking Earth Into Inches to dart over, snatching the young man away just as the divine light was about to hit.

Where do you think you’re going?

Three Huang Jing experts charged in, brandishing their natal weapons to obliterate both Ye Chen and the young man.

Get lost!

Ye Chen snarled coldly, sweeping out a golden hand that was as heavy as a mountain.

Thud!

The three Huang Jing attackers were instantly crushed to ash, shocking everyone present. A first-level Huang Jing expert had wiped out three Huang Jing peak masters with a single palm—this level of power was extraordinarily dominant!

Amid the shock, another quasi-saint struck, launching a devastating attack with a beam of annihilating divine light aimed straight at Ye Chen’s brow.

Ye Chen sneered and dodged with a flash, then used Shrinking Earth Into Inches to close in on the quasi-saint.

The quasi-saint’s face changed drastically as he tried to retreat, but it was too late. Ye Chen caught up and split him in half with a palm.

This...!

The onlookers were horrified by the sight—a single palm had destroyed three Huang Jing peak masters, and even a powerful quasi-saint was cleaved apart. Everyone’s gaze toward Ye Chen shifted; this Huang Jing expert was freakishly strong.

Attack together!

Figures emerged from all sides, all in black robes with formidable auras—without exception, they were all quasi-saints. They surrounded Ye Chen in a section of the starry sky and jointly activated a powerful Sheng Bing.

Ye Chen was hit directly and sent flying.

Die!

More quasi-saints joined in, one wielding a pitch-black killing sword for a sudden, lethal strike.

As if you deserve that!

Ye Chen reached out, precisely grabbing the killing sword, and kicked the quasi-saint away. Before the quasi-saint could steady himself, Ye Chen pounced and beheaded him with a sword.

Buzz!

The nine quasi-saints attacked again, their jointly activated Sheng Bing unleashing another wave of annihilating divine light.

Having learned from the first hit, Ye Chen evaded it instantly and countered with a punch that burst one quasi-saint apart. With a flip of his hand, he palm-struck another quasi-saint dead.

With two of the nine quasi-saints eliminated, the power of their jointly activated Sheng Bing plummeted.

Not a bad Sheng Bing—it’s mine now!

Ye Chen snorted coldly, extending his hand to seize the Sheng Bing from afar. It was a red killing sword, its blade exuding annihilating energy and immense saintly might—a remarkable Sheng Bing indeed.

Kill!

The remaining seven quasi-saints roared in fury and charged together, unleashing divine abilities and secret arts that blanketed the sky.

Ye Chen laughed coldly and swung the Sheng Bing sword, dispersing the incoming divine abilities and secret arts. The seven quasi-saints who rushed at him were sent flying by the sword strike.
