Chapter 394: Tribulation, Where Are You?
The sky was in turmoil, and the water churned.
The other three terrifying existences were surprised that he’d blocked Fire Demon Lihuo’s attack, but they felt little more than that.
Because Thunder Monarch Oblivion’s crimson lightning and Old Yao Bone Eater’s spears of white bone shot through the air and descended at the same time.
Rumble!
Blood-colored lightning ran rampant, their aura utterly destructive.
The bone spears filling the sky were even more terrifying. They blotted out the sun, filling the air with crimson mist.
The sight was enough to make any Origin Dao cultivator give into despair.
Su Yi was in peril!
However, his eyes only shone brighter than ever, igniting like twin torches.
He clearly sensed that beneath the stimulation of the attacks’ oppressive air and imminent grave peril, explosive currents of power whirled like mad within his dantian, gradually outlining an origin power seed.
Clang!
The Abstruse God Sword boomed like wind and lightning. Su Yi didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced, charging bravely to meet their attacks head-on.
However, in the others’ eyes, Su Yi was nothing but a moth hurtling himself into the flame, laughably paltry and insignificant.
Rumble~!
The seas churned, and countless waves burst apart.
Roiling currents of crimson lightning and countless spears of white bone enveloped Su Yi completely. The resulting destructive energies overturned the surrounding waters, and explosive force continued downward unobstructed, causing tens of thousands of square feet of ocean to cave in.
When she saw this, the woman on the giant ape's shoulder was visibly stunned. Her entire body went rigid, and she felt suffocated.
This was just too terrifying!
The power those terrifying existences displayed was undoubtedly above the Spirit Dao level, and all of them had a strange, mysterious, taboo energy.
Even though they were confined within the Four Great Perils, when they attacked from afar, their power was still more than enough to shock the world!
Hua Xinfeng had long since retreated through the entrance to the Immortals’ Sword House. She suddenly clenched her fists tight, her beautiful eyes filled with concern and fear.
How are you doing out there? Whatever you do, you can’t let anything happen to you!
“Is he dead?” Old Yao Bone Eater’s voice rang out.
All eyes were upon the stretch of ocean enveloped in destructive energies.
The misty light gradually receded, and when the dust settled, the ground saw a lone figure standing amidst the devastation. His robes were tattered and stained with blood, and his long hair was disheveled.
It was Su Yi!
“He didn’t die?” All four terrifying existences were stunned.
A young Xiantian Martial Ancestor, that was all he was. How could he possibly have survived?
He was like an ant beneath an onslaught of heavenly flame; the fire was sure to incinerate him.
And yet, that hadn’t happened!
“He… How did he hold on?” The woman seated on the ape’s shoulder was stunned. Disbelief was written all over her face.
“That’s great! That’s great! That’s great…..” Hua Xinfeng was too excited for words.
For a moment there, she almost thought Su Yi was done for. Her heart filled with indescribable panic, despondency, rage, and grief, all intermingled. She felt completely beside herself.
She’d never been so concerned about a man’s well-being before.
Now, seeing that Su Yi hadn’t died after all, it was easy to imagine her excitement.
“You actually hurt me this badly? Not bad. Not bad at all….!” Shockingly, Su Yi laughed.
His face was pallid and transparent from blood loss, and his lips were stained red. His clothes were in tatters, and his exposed skin was covered in still-bleeding rips and tears. He cut quite the sorry figure.
Nonetheless, he laughed.
His handsome features carried a hint of unrestrained pride and contempt, while the depths of his gaze blazed like the stars.
An inscrutable power silently surged around him, like a river rising during a downpour, bit by bit.
Their attacks had done enormous damage.
However, in the face of life-and-death peril, he’d further condensed the origin power seed within his dantian. It was already showing signs of taking shape!
“Hah? You’re on your last legs, yet you still dare to laugh?” Fire Demon Lihuo’s cold laughter emanated from the Isle of No Return, and his killing intent soared. “Remember this: I, Divine Monarch Lihuo, am the one who killed you!”
Boom!
Thousands of green lamps swayed, and a single finger rose up, like a massive pillar holding up the skies.
It was just one finger, but it was over one hundred feet tall and swathed in surging green flames. Everywhere it passed, it incinerated even the sky itself, and the air trembled and shook.
It pressed ruthlessly down upon Su Yi!
It was like the finger of a god squashing a paltry, insignificant little ant.
This time, Old Yao Bone Eater and Thunder Monarch Oblivion merely waited, preparing to rush in and seize the treasure as soon as Su Yi was dead.
Only Daoist Star Girdle’s gaunt figure remained still. He stood atop the Starlight Vessel, giving no indication that he planned to take action.
In the face of this extreme peril, Su Yi raised his head, gazed into the dome of heaven, and whispered a single sentence:
“Tribulation, where are you?”
Every word was like the humming of a sword, reverberating throughout the nine heavens.
Boom!
The skies above Su Yi suddenly darkened, and countless dark tribulation clouds silently appeared, like a massive whirlpool.
A streak of tribulation light followed, like a taboo, descending upon the human world.
“Divine… Divine tribulation?” exclaimed the woman on the ape’s shoulders. Her eyes widened.?He’s just a Xiantian Martial Ancestor. How could he possibly provoke such an unparalleled tribulation?
“What kind of tribulation is this?” The four terrifying existences were astonished. When they saw the vortex of tribulation clouds overhead, their hair stood on end, and they sensed an unprecedented threat.
“This….” Above the Starlight Vessel, Star Girdle was stunned too, and the starlight surged around him.
Crunch!
An explosion boomed throughout heaven and earth.
Fire Demon Lihuo’s hundred-plus-foot-tall flaming finger was only thirty feet from Su Yi. It was just about to bear down on him when the gray light of the tribulation came crashing down. The finger instantly burst apart like a giant soap bubble.
The power of the gray tribulation light didn’t decrease in the slightest. It just crashed onto Su Yi.
Everyone couldn’t help but picture Su Yi blasted to bits and destroyed, body and soul.
The light of the tribulation was just too terrifying. Even those four terrifying entities were startled and uncertain.
However—
An unbelievable scene followed. Su Yi?wasn’t?blasted to bits!
When the tribulation light crashed into him, it melted like snow and disappeared without damaging him in the slightest.
“This…” Everyone stared, tongue-tied and dumbstruck. They were completely at a loss. This was too bizarre and too out of the ordinary. They simply couldn’t comprehend it.
All of them were well aware that, throughout antiquity, cultivators had only ever provoked divine tribulations while attempting to enter the Spirit Dao.
In other words, cultivators of the Three Realms of the Origin Dao couldn’t possibly provoke a divine tribulation!
Yet now, this young Xiantian Martial Ancestor had provoked a tribulation, and a bizarre one at that.
The power of that dark vortex of clouds was so strange that even the terrifying existences who’d been imprisoned for thirty thousand years felt their hair stand on end. Terror rose within their hearts.
Earlier, a single streak of tribulation light easily shattered the finger Fire Demon Lihuo sent through the air.
This tribulation was obviously targeted at Su Yi. Who could possibly have anticipated that when it came crashing down, it would sweep across him as gently as a spring breeze, then silently disappear?
The entire scene was completely bizarre and out of the ordinary. Who wouldn’t have been bewildered?
This… Don’t tell me that this is the ‘opportunity’ he said he needed to break through??Astonishment was written all over Hua Xinfeng’s face.
She finally understood why Su Yi said that, even if he told her, she wouldn’t understand.
Indeed, without seeing it herself, Hua Xinfeng could never have imagined that the opportunity a Xiantian Martial Ancestor needed to break into the Grain Avoidance Realm would be such a strange tribulation!
Rumble~!
Deep within the dome of the heavens, the vortex of dense layers of dark tribulation clouds revolved. An air of calamity spread outward, covering this entire stretch of heaven and earth.
The onlookers’ hearts quivered in terror.
Conversely, Su Yi looked as if he’d just consumed a potent tonic. He was spirited and energized, and his black eyes shone. His aura expanded, like bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain.
Beneath the others’ dumbstruck gazes, Su Yi’s lean figure suddenly took to the skies, rising like a whirlwind.
His clothes were still in tatters, and he was covered in blood.
However, standing beneath the vortex of dark clouds, he emanated the air of one who gazed down upon even the heavens themselves.
“Everyone, many thanks for helping me welcome this tribulation. Once I’ve broken through, I’ll be sure to personally grant each of you release from this world!”
He stood there with his hands behind his back, leisurely and unrestrained as an immortal.
When they heard this, Fire Demon Lihuo, Old Yao Bone Eater, and Thunder Monarch Oblivion’s expressions were incomparably unsightly.?This kid… Earlier, he borrowed our hands to provoke a divine tribulation?
They knew it was true, but they almost dared not believe it.
“He?invited a tribulation?just to break through?” The woman on the ape’s shoulder was dumbstruck.
Strange and extraordinary phenomena were numerous beyond measure. She’d spent years wandering the continent, and she’d lost track of how many bizarre and unbelievable things she’d witnessed.
However, she’d never seen anything like the strangeness surrounding Su Yi today. Never mind seeing it; she’d never even heard of such a thing!
This practically overturned her perception of reality.
Boom!
Suddenly, deep within the tribulation clouds, nine streaks of gray tribulation light fell, like divine radiance descending upon the human world.
Each beam of tribulation light overflowed with destructive, taboo power. They were terrifying to the extreme, and even watching from a distance, the onlookers felt as if they were on the verge of collapse.
Especially the old monsters trapped within the prohibition. All of them withdrew their auras for fear that the terrifying tribulation would touch them.
But Su Yi just stood in the air, not moving in the slightest.
When the streaks of tribulation light came crashing down, they were clay oxen dropped into the sea; they silently disappeared without a trace.
They couldn’t harm so much as a hair on his head.
This left the onlookers stunned once more, and bewilderment was written all over their faces. How mighty was this calamity? Why couldn’t it hurt the person undergoing tribulation?
In stark contrast, Su Yi smiled, straight from the heart.
Boom!
The Sword of the Nine Hells trembled within his sea of consciousness, and the nine-layered Divine Chains it suppressed waved and clattered.
Although no one else knew it, when the strange and terrifying light of the tribulation descended, the Sword of the Nine Hells immediately devoured it.
Then, as Su Yi’s circulating energy and the Sword of the Nine Hells resonated and merged, he repeatedly absorbed mysterious and pure yet taboo power, all of which gathered within his dantian.
The origin power seed within his dantian had already almost taken shape. When it absorbed such mighty and mysterious taboo power, it underwent an unbelievably miraculous metamorphosis….
