Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Thunder roared; merely two bolts shattered the vast, imposing thousand-handed Asura body, and Chen Feng and the other two, suffering backlash, turned deathly pale in an instant, their auras listless.

Before true heavenly might, everything appeared so insignificantly laughable.

Boom—! And these two bolts seemed merely an appetizer; above the sky dome, dense tribulation clouds gathered, lightning flickering within, layer upon layer densely spread, stretching ten li and still expanding.

Heavenly thunder rolled continuously, terrifying aura brewing without cease, making scalps numb, souls seeming to tremble, on the verge of collapse.

"How is this possible? Where did this heavenly tribulation come from?!"

Chen Feng's hair was disheveled, he spat a mouthful of blood, his already weak body even more fragile; looking at the tribulation clouds in the sky dome, he cried out in alarm, expression unbelieving.

Even more, an intense life-and-death crisis rapidly spread through every part of his mind and spirit, detonating fiercely.

As for Wu Huan and Cheng Tao, they fared even worse; they only felt their souls trembling, a mysterious vast power locking onto them, unable to resist, all methods futile before it.

Consequently, their bodies involuntarily trembled violently. In both their hearts, similarly monstrous waves surged, unbelieving, and beyond shock, even more terror.

"!!!"

"Cough cough cough!"

Yu Zhangsheng coughed, face slightly pale, hair standing on end strand by strand, complexion somewhat charred, coldly eyeing the three, raising his head to look at the tribulation clouds in the sky dome, lightly pursing his lips.

"Is it you?"

"Aren't you only at Foundation Establishment Peak? How could you draw down heavenly tribulation? With your realm, how could you possibly undergo tribulation?"

Abruptly, Chen Feng turned his head to look at Yu Zhangsheng, footsteps involuntarily retreating, pointing at Yu Zhangsheng, eyes full of incredulity and terror.

"No, no!"

Chen Feng shook his head violently, exhaling a breath.

"You're just bluffing, trying to scare us off, right? Your thinking is far too simple?"

His tone even carried a sharp, abnormal edge.

After all, in his view, the other party had only just broken through to Foundation Establishment Peak realm; wanting to trigger heavenly tribulation to advance to Golden Core — this was impossible.

Cultivators, though said to defy heaven, that is also a matter for high stages reaching a certain realm; a cultivator's cultivation reaching late stage, strength powerful, touching heaven and earth's Dao rules, every breakthrough indeed triggers heaven and earth Dao marks, thereby forming heavenly tribulation descending, destroying all things.

But these are things only high-stage cultivators experience; in his view, a brat like Yu Zhangsheng who doesn't even have a Golden Core has absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Plainly put, Foundation Establishment breaking through to Golden Core, the Heavenly Dao doesn't even deign to send down heavenly tribulation; after all, ordinary Foundation Establishment breaking through to Golden Core, the energy plundered from the local heaven and earth probably doesn't even have a fraction of what's needed to form a heavenly tribulation.

Sending heavenly tribulation down on low-stage cultivators is a losing proposition with no gain, so naturally heavenly tribulation punishment cannot exist; furthermore, heavenly tribulation is a manifestation of Heavenly Dao power, and low-stage cultivators are still far, far from reaching the level of the Dao.

In summary, even though the tribulation clouds overhead continuously emitted terrifying pressure, making Chen Feng's scalp feel like exploding, he still maintained calm, immediately looking at Yu Zhangsheng, gaze carrying doubt.

"Bluffing? Whether it's real or not, why don't you sense it yourself?"

Yu Zhangsheng shook his head with a cold laugh, his bodily condition likewise poor, slowly exhaling a breath, expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn, not bothering with Chen Feng's trio, instead raising his head, looking at the tribulation clouds above, waving his sleeve — countless Golden Winged Great Eagle Beast Shadows emerged, blocking before him.

"Hm?"

Chen Feng frowned, watching Yu Zhangsheng's movements, just about to say something, when suddenly his expression drastically changed, an intense sense of crisis suddenly erupting from the depths of his soul.

Boom—! The next moment, atop the tribulation slaughter, bucket-thick purple lightning resoundingly descended, locking onto Yu Zhangsheng, Chen Feng, Wu Huan, and Cheng Tao — four people — not one bolt, but four bolts, each erupting with might that varied, among which the bolt striking Chen Feng was the most terrifying.

Void birthed lightning, violent aftershocks rippled open, as if a calm water surface had a heaven-shaking meteor crash down, churning endless great waves; glorious heavenly might manifested thoroughly in this moment, incomparably real.

"Boom!"

The next instant, body swelling, flesh and blood Qi power fully erupting, a low roar, both arms blocking in front, the layers of Beast Shadows laid down merely briefly resisted this lightning before instantly collapsing, turning to flying ash, continuing with unstoppable tyrannical momentum, imposing manner surging, crashing down on Yu Zhangsheng.

"Muffled groan!"

Yu Zhangsheng muffled groaned, violent lightning light enveloping his body, streaks of electric arcs jumping around his arms, only feeling his five viscera and six bowels shake and churn, indescribably uncomfortable, plus a numb sensation spreading through his whole body; fortunately his flesh body was strong, plus he had swallowed a Healing Pill in advance, this strike did not greatly harm Yu Zhangsheng, condition still fairly intact.

But Chen Feng's trio were not so lucky; you must know, the lightning power descending on them was even more terrifying than Yu Zhangsheng's.

This heavenly tribulation is based on realm after all! Boom—! Meeting Chen Feng's unbelieving gaze, lightning exploded, only a miserably shrill scream heard, purple lightning flashing, the instant the two made contact, Chen Feng's body instantly turned into a cluster of blood mist exploding; when the aftershocks dispersed, the blood mist condensed once more into Chen Feng's body, body half-prostrate, panting violently.

Aura withered, complexion even more pale to the extreme, body staggering barely supporting itself, looking at Yu Zhangsheng with even more panic to the extreme.

This moment, Chen Feng truly believed; this kind of heavenly might definitely could not be Yu Zhangsheng's spell technique bluffing; no matter how unbelieving Chen Feng's heart, it could not change the fact — this was true heavenly tribulation.

"It really is heavenly tribulation, how did you do it?"

In weakness, Chen Feng asked in a deep voice; just now, if he hadn't used a life-saving method, he would likely already be a corpse without bones.

And Chen Feng being like this, the other two need not be mentioned; among them, Cheng Tao was slightly better, though weak he maintained body integrity, while Wu Huan was most miserable — under this lightning tribulation an entire arm was completely blown away, flesh and blood blurred, looking terrifyingly fearful, expression terrified to the extreme.

"You guess?"

Yu Zhangsheng suppressed his body's fatigue, hehe laughed, looking at the three, eyes full of mad color.

"Since we're all dead anyway, how about letting you three be my burial companions?"

Words carried hysterical madness, eyes even blood-red; this moment's Yu Zhangsheng was like a demon possessed, and as heavenly tribulation descended, his whole body's cultivation aura violently climbed upward.

Hearing this, even with Chen Feng's cultivation, looking at this moment's Yu Zhangsheng, his heart for some reason actually trembled, a trace of terror flashing through his heart.

Sensing Yu Zhangsheng's state, myriad thoughts flashed through Chen Feng's heart, finally as if thinking of something, pupils slightly dilated, looking at Yu Zhangsheng, taking a deep breath, eyes revealing incredulous color.

He thought of a certain legend; rumor says, if some cultivators, even at low stage, have heaven-defying natural talent, astonishing to the extreme, even to the point of making heaven itself take pity, their breakthrough would also trigger heavenly tribulation descending. "Unless, you are a Heavenly Dao Golden Core? Therefore breaking through and advancing, triggering heavenly tribulation descending upon the world? How possible?!"

If that were the case, then everything would be explained clearly.

Said before, low-stage cultivators' breakthroughs are not qualified to trigger heavenly tribulation descending; heavenly tribulation, to cultivators, is destruction, and also necessary tempering for breaking through to high stage; ordinary cultivators breaking through naturally are not qualified to draw down heavenly tribulation.

However everything has exceptions; for example, Heavenly Dao Golden Core… is one of them.

Heavenly Dao Golden Core, since crowned with the two words "Heavenly Dao", naturally requires heavenly tribulation tempering; only by using heavenly tribulation as medium, absorbing sufficient Heavenly Dao power, can one achieve a true Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

This moment, Chen Feng's heart held both shock and astonishment, and even more unbelieving, killing intent surged greatly.

"A Heavenly Dao Golden Core... such a supreme heaven's pride, even in my Qingzhou, I've never heard of one... a person like this can only be strangled in the cradle!"

Chen Feng thought secretly, a gloomy light flickering in his eyes, but clearly at this moment, he still hadn't figured out the situation.

"Hehe, Heavenly Dao Golden Core or whatever isn't important, what's important is being able to make you all burial companions together, that's worth it too!"

Yu Zhangsheng grinned, his tone carrying madness and strangeness, meeting the gazes of Chen Feng's trio, his body moved, actively charging toward Chen Feng.

"?!!"

Chen Feng froze, then his complexion changed, and he exchanged a glance with Cheng Tao and Wu Huan, their bodies flying back, simultaneously shouting loudly, carrying terror and anger.

"Get lost!! Stay away from me, who the fuck wants to be your burial companion, you get the hell away from me and die!"

Above the sky, dense tribulation clouds were still brewing, exuding terrifying might, and still continuously expanding, from the dozens of li just now, slowly becoming a hundred li in size, arcs of lightning flickering, like thunder dragons soaring within.

When a tribulation bolt falls, if there are other cultivators besides the one crossing the tribulation within range, they will also be locked onto, and based on cultivation base, painless lightning tribulation will fall, and at this moment Chen Feng's three people, were very obviously judged to be Yu Zhangsheng's tribulation blockers, thus lightning tribulation fell.

Wanting to break this kind of lock, is also very simple, either use powerful cultivation base to forcibly scatter the tribulation clouds, or quickly distance from the one crossing the tribulation, escaping the tribulation's lock range is it.

And at this moment, Chen Feng's three people also thought of this, therefore toward Yu Zhangsheng's arrival, they acted like avoiding a plague god, retreating not fast enough.

Joking, Chen Feng asked himself, with his current state, one more falling tribulation bolt could completely end his life.

"Die!"

Yu Zhangsheng roared low, acting with reckless abandon, charging toward Chen Feng, as he moved, the tribulation killing above the sky, actually also moved along, and even more in the continuous brewing, another wave of tribulation phantoms slowly formed, brilliant heavenly might, pressing on the soul.

Chen Feng terrified, the three people each flew toward three directions, in haste exploding out their fastest speed in life, not caring about worsening injuries, frantically distancing from Yu Zhangsheng. Wanting to escape the envelopment range before the next wave of tribulation completely fell.

And Yu Zhangsheng, his expression mad, similarly exploded out his fastest speed in life, but after Chen Feng turned, he didn't choose to turn, instead continuing to maintain extreme speed, moving forward rapidly, transforming into a shocking long rainbow, sweeping across the sky's edge, finally disappearing at the horizon.

The tribulation clouds above the sky, similarly moved along, only following Yu Zhangsheng, unable to shake off.

This scene, viewed from afar, was quite spectacular.

Until a long time, seeing Yu Zhangsheng didn't chase toward themselves, the sense of being locked in the vastness dissipated, Chen Feng froze, only then deeply exhaled a breath, looking at the direction Yu Zhangsheng flew, complexion uncertain.

"Brother Feng, just let him go like this, we're not continuing to chase?"

Cheng Tao with a heavy face, looked at Chen Feng, muffled voice asked.

Wu Huan didn't speak, only remaining one arm gently waving, bit by bit lightning arcs jumping, complexion pale, eyes containing resentment.

The arm destroyed by heavenly tribulation, naturally couldn't recover so easily, even more difficult to regenerate severed fingers.

"Forget it."

Chen Feng silent, long while spoke.

"Now he has something strange on him, locked by heavenly tribulation, barring accident, he won't survive either, and, with our current state, wanting to continue kill him, might cause accident."

"This kind of heavenly tribulation change, is something no one expected, this time, everything grasped so just right, we also did our best.

Moreover, those coming to hunt him, aren't only us, report truthfully is it, even if he ultimately isn't struck dead by heavenly tribulation, on his road back to the sect, heaven's net and earth's net already laid in ambush, he can't escape death, why rush for a moment."

Chen Feng spoke thus, a gloomy light flashing through his eyes, and Cheng Tao and Wu Huan hearing this, wanted to say something, in the end only opened their mouths, not a word spoken, maintaining silence, counting as tacitly agreeing to Chen Feng.

Very obviously, in their hearts, some fear, people all cherish life, the heavenly might just now, in their hearts, already left a seed difficult to erase...

Other side, Yu Zhangsheng's state, wasn't as miserable as Chen Feng thought, after escaping a distance, completely distancing from the three people, Yu Zhangsheng then continuously swallowed pill after pill, state also recovered quite a bit.

And the sky's tribulation clouds, although following his continuous movement, still exuding terrifying might, didn't continue dropping heavenly thunder, more, then played a deterrent role.

Finally, even more as Yu Zhangsheng's aura concealed, suddenly stagnated, staying in place no longer following Yu Zhangsheng to move, struggled a bit, seemed to have lost target, unwillingly slowly dissipated, heavenly might dissipated, aura destroying all things. Simultaneously dissipated along with it.

"Huu..."

Looking at the tribulation clouds slowly dissipating behind, Yu Zhangsheng wiped cold sweat from forehead, long exhaled a breath, that heart-palpitating fear in heart, gradually also calmed down.

"Many thanks Turtle Senior..."

Yu Zhangsheng muttered in heart, tone carrying gratitude, very sincere, face bitterly smiled once.

"No matter," Xuan Turtle's slightly weary voice echoed in Yu Zhangsheng's mind.

"I can only help you to here, now, I use full power desperately using Turtle Breath Technique to suppress your realm for you, conceal heavenly secrets, already no leisure to divide attention for other things."

"This also means, before you cross the tribulation, I can no longer provide you any, the road ahead, you be careful yourself." (Chapter End)
