Chapter 294: Old Man, You Died a Miserable Death
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor withstood the thunder with his body, and although he was unharmed, his hair and clothes were scorched black, and he was emitting black smoke.
Jiang Chen observed and found that his physical body had no special changes, so he concluded: “Hmm, Thunder Tribulation cannot temper the physical body. It seems that the key is to find a way to get through the tribulation.”
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor’s face turned even darker.
“Rumble!”
The sound of thunder became more deafening, and the thunderclouds in the sky spread rapidly towards the entire Azure Cloud City.
“We should run quickly! The power of this Thunder Tribulation is getting stronger! We should quickly leave the city!” Jiuyan Old Ancestor shouted.
Upon hearing this, whether it was Xiao Hongyi and the others or the onlooking cultivators and mortals, they all snapped out of their shock and rushed out of Azure Cloud City like mad.
In just a few moments, the previously bustling Azure Cloud City was left with only Jiang Chen and the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor also wanted to run.
But every time he tried to leave the range of the Thunder Tribulation, he would be hit back by the mysteriously appearing jade coffin!
He was so frustrated!
As the Old Ancestor of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, he had practiced the sword for hundreds of years, lived for hundreds of years, and had never felt so aggrieved!
But what could his anger do?
Now, if he wanted to avoid the heavenly thunder, there were only two ways.
Break out of the Thunder Tribulation circle, or get Jiang Chen to stay away from him.
The former path had been blocked by Jiuyan Old Ancestor.
And for the latter path, he wouldn’t have dragged him into the Thunder Tribulation circle if Jiang Chen were willing!
He could try to force Jiang Chen away, but at this moment, Jiang Chen was at the center of the Thunder Tribulation, and if he made a move, he would also have to withstand the thunder!
Besides, he had to consider whether Jiuyan Old Ancestor would stand by if he took action.
Therefore, after much thought, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor came to a conclusion.
It seems he can’t avoid this Thunder Tribulation...
‘What a sin!’ The Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor lamented in his heart.
He never imagined that at his age, he would be used by someone else to withstand heavenly thunder and became a tool!
Perhaps seeing that he showed no signs of leaving, another long-gestating purple thunder appeared.
“Boom!!”
The purple thunder turned into a dragon, emerging from the clouds, roaring with bared fangs and claws, and struck down directly.
The target aimed straight at the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.
Sensing that this thunder was much stronger in both power and momentum compared to the last one, the Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor’s face became very solemn.
He mobilized his spiritual energy, transformed his fingers into a sword, and slashed out several earth-shattering sword qi to resist.
“Bang——!”
The sword qi made contact with the purple dragon, emitting a dull sound.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate high in the sky.
Then, with another “boom,” another thunderbolt poured down from the clouds, merging with the first, instantly increasing the power several times over and instantly shattering the sword qi.
Then it struck the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor on the head.
In a critical moment, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor used all his cultivation to form a shield with the surrounding spiritual energy, barely resisting the strike.
Although there was no threat to his life, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen kept nodding: “The intensity of the Thunder Tribulation is proportional to the cultivator’s strength. It seems that heaven has sensed that the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor wants to help me resist the Thunder Tribulation, so it has strengthened the power of the tribulation!”
“???”
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was full of question marks. He wants to help Jiang Chen resist the Thunder Tribulation?
Anyone with clear eyes could see that he was being forced?!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, three thunderbolts struck down at the same time.
The target was still the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor cursed inwardly and then summoned seven ancient swords of different colors, all shining with dazzling sword light, forming a seven-layered sword formation to resist.
“Seven Killing Star Swords!” Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted.
Unlike other top-tier sects, the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion had two divine-grade spiritual weapons.
One was the Seven Luminaries Ancient Sword.
The other was this Seven Killing Star Swords!
Specifically, these Seven Killing Star Swords were only superior-grade spiritual weapons, but when all seven swords were used together, collectively known as the “Seven Killing Star Swords,” their power was comparable to a divine-grade spiritual sword!
The fact that the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was forced to use such a trump card showed how much stronger the Thunder Tribulation had become!
Soon, the three thunderbolts collided with the seven-layered sword formation.
The thunder was like spears, and the sword formation was like a shield.
The two forces clashed, creating a storm of spiritual energy that swept around, causing houses to collapse and the ground to crack wherever it went.
The might of heavenly thunder was not to be underestimated.
After a few moments of stalemate, the three thunderbolts merged into a dragon again, striking the seven-layered sword formation with immense force.
“Crack!”
In an instant, the first layer of the sword formation shattered.
In the second breath,
“Crack, crack!”
The second and third layers of the sword formations shattered.
In the third breath, the sounds of the formations breaking were incessant as the thunder dragon roared ferociously, instantly smashing through the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers of the sword formations.
Eventually, due to insufficient strength, the thunder dragon dissipated before the seventh layer of the sword formation!
“Phew!”
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor let out a long sigh of relief.
Jiang Chen also broke out in a cold sweat for him.
He estimated to himself that if he were to face such a powerful thunder tribulation, even if he used all his trump cards, he might still be unable to withstand it!
With the mindset of “let others face the thunder while I watch the show,” Jiang Chen immediately cheered him on: “Old man, hang in there!”
“...”
The expression on the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor’s face suddenly became uglier than if he had eaten excrement.
“Boom, boom, boom!!”
The sound of thunder reemerged, more muffled than before.
Thunder flashed frequently in the sky, dense and interwoven like a spider web, covering the entire sky.
After a long wait, the thunder still hadn’t struck down, and the thunderclouds showed no sign of dispersing.
At this moment, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor had no mind to pay attention to Jiang Chen, instead staring at the heavens, his old face full of solemnity.
He didn’t know how long this thunder tribulation would last, but he guessed that the next thunder tribulation would be the main event.
The current thunder was just brewing for a stronger strike!
“No, what is this...” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor shook his head helplessly.
He had come to Azure Cloud City to pick up the prodigies of his sect.
Who knew that all the prodigies of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion would die at the hands of Jiang Chen?
He stayed to protect the last prodigy.
Who would have thought that he himself would end up in a situation where he could hardly protect himself?
At this moment, he regretted it.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have come to Cold Realm City!
He wouldn’t have stayed here to be used by Jiang Chen as a tool to resist the thunder tribulation.
“Jiang Chen, you truly are a disaster!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor shouted angrily.
“Thanks for the compliment.” Jiang Chen smiled lightly.
“...”
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was speechless once again.
“Boom!!”
“Boom!!”
“Boom!!”
Then, three thunderous roars like dragons burst forth from the sky.
The three dragons merged into one, their bodies stretching tens of zhang, their massive heads like ancient beasts, looking down upon the world from the sky, awe-inspiring.
The giant thunder dragon’s form was winding, almost covering the entire sky.
“Boom!!”
After another loud noise, the dragon’s eyes suddenly opened wide, its mouth gaping as it dove down.
Seeing this, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor swallowed hard.
Jiuyan Old Ancestor and others watching from afar were also amazed at the strength of this heavenly might.
This is beyond human power to contend with!
“Old man, you died a miserable death,” Jiang Chen said while beating his chest and stamping his feet with a look of grief.
“Shut up, I’m not dead yet!!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor cursed loudly.
“Better say it in advance. Otherwise, you won’t hear it if you’re dead,” Jiang Chen said as if it were only natural.
The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor had nothing to say in response.
