Chapter 429: Pushing Horizontally Through the Sea of Thunder, a Fourth-Tier Divine General, the Number One Person of All Ages!

Xia Hanzhou's body stiffened, yet he saw within the silver screen of clouds and mist.

A young man in black stepped out, ascending alone into the firmament, his robes fluttering violently.

The hurricane in the sky blew his black hair wildly about.

Before that massive thunderous human face, the young man was as small as an insect or ant, yet he stood there just like that, locking eyes with the thunderous figure.

The human world fell silent.

Xia Qi did not expect it, Xia Hanzhou did not expect it, and even the Chen Lord, still far away in Chen Prefecture, narrowed his eyes.

No need for protection?

It was too wild, too overbearing.

This is the might of heaven and earth; it is not something you can just endure because you want to.

"Is courage the first priority?" the Chen Lord murmured.

Chen Yan would always make choices that made everyone feel he was foolish.

In the past, Chen Yan had crossed over them, so what about this time?

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The protection formed by the Thunder-Extinguishing Treasure Land gradually dissipated.

The little nun Zongbo had an ugly expression; she did not want to withdraw it, but it was Xia Qi who had sent her the communication.

"Nonsense!" Her little face was all scrunched up; she simply could not understand how Chen Yan's brain worked.

Chen Yan's expression was calm, and he slowly closed his eyes.

If he could not cross that tenth lightning tribulation, what use was it to have crossed the first nine by relying on protection?

If protection was needed to pass the tribulation, then what did this tribulation of his even count for?

Everything is a matter of the heart.

This was Chen Yan's choice.

Boom!

The roaring sound was terrifying to the extreme!

This is the wrath of heaven!

Seemingly sensing Chen Yan's choice at this moment, the aura of the lightning tribulation became even more terrifying, even more horrifying.

Boom!

The first bolt of thunder-fire descended in an instant!

Ten thousand threads of lightning suddenly appeared, causing the space to cave in, the scorching light making it impossible to see anything clearly.

And that figure standing in the high heavens threw out a punch!

Chen Yan exerted himself to the absolute limit, his power erupting to the absolute limit.

He only threw one punch, but this punch had to be the best, the most powerful!

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, white light representing the energy of true intent emerged!

"Let me see if my fist can shake the heavens!"

One punch!

Countless fist imprints surged forth, smashing upward from below.

The horizontal-pushing fist realm erupted suddenly!

The next moment, the fist realm collided with the lightning tribulation, blasting them apart!

Immediately following, the lightning tribulation was pushed horizontally upward, hanging upside down in the sky!

Ten thousand wild bolts of thunder smashed into the other side of the deep sky, the heavy clouds lit up brightly, and chaos surged!

The people of the world watched in a daze; the lightning tribulation had been beaten back!

It was incomparably powerful, with a horrifying momentum.

Someone was just about to cheer.

Boom!

The thunderous human face above the firmament was in a rage; Chen Yan had touched upon its majesty.

The second bolt, the speed was even faster!

Watching this scene, the hearts of countless people rose to their throats!

Chen Yan's eyes widened.

The next moment, streams of golden light and rosy clouds emerged from his body, as if he were draped in golden clothes!

He pulled his right leg back, arched his waist slightly, and gathered strength in his right fist!

Boom, boom, boom!!!

One fist imprint after another spread out instantly with Chen Yan as the center, the force compressed to form countless flashing golden arcs of light!

The next instant.

Blasted out!

A heaven-shocking scene appeared!

Ten thousand wild bolts of thunder roared down, colliding with the fist realm, blasting against each other, annihilating each other!

Engulfing Chen Yan!

That figure stood at the very center of the collision, like a war god standing firm as a mountain, not retreating a single step!

Countless sounds of explosions rang out; Chen Yan's ink-black hair flew wildly, and streaks of blood appeared on his face.

"Continue!"

His voice roared out, scolding heaven and earth.

At this moment, everyone watching felt as if an invisible hand were gripping their scalps.

Someone was just about to speak!

Boom!

The third bolt fell!

There was no time to breathe; an endless sea of lightning inverted and crashed down, its vast pressure stunning the world.

Gusts of hurricane winds rolled down, and on the earth, row after row of roadside trees were bent over.

The blinding lightning made it almost impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.

They looked high up into the sky, where in the center of that sea of lightning, a lean figure remained...

Throwing a punch!!!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

In an instant, hundreds of punches, thousands of punches, tens of thousands of punches!

The shadows of the punches overlapped, intertwined, and transformed into a massive golden disc that collided with the sea of lightning!

Constantly interweaving, locked in a death struggle!

Chen Yan's eyes were fierce, yet a smile emerged at the corners of his mouth.

Just like this!

"If my opponent is weak, then my Martial Dao will be meaningless!"

He was laughing wildly, filled with excitement.

The 【Intent】 character Breaking Saint Fruit was growing rapidly!

Sixty-seven percent!

Sixty-eight percent!

Sixty-nine percent!

The deafening sound of thunder resounded through the past in an instant.

When everyone gazed upon it once more, that figure standing in the clouds had his robes torn and tattered, with streaks of blood appearing all over his body, and blood dripping down.

But no one could see any fear in him.

Vaguely, someone opened their mouth wide; they seemed to have caught a glimpse of the side of his face.

Determined, cold, and utterly fearless!

Boom!

The fourth bolt fell!

Bombardment, explosion—it was like the end of the world.

Someone looked with all their might; that person in the sea of lightning was clearly hunched over, yet he stood up again, clanging and high-spirited.

No one spoke.

They were simply in shock.

What could Chen Yan have possibly experienced to not take a single step back at this moment?

The other party was only seventeen years old.

Seventeen years old.

It was a very young age.

The more one thought of this number, the more silent it made them.

Boom!

The fifth bolt!

Raging lightning flames descended, an ocean covering down from the firmament.

Countless people on the earth, watching this sea of lightning fall, felt as if they were merely a lone boat drifting in an endless, angry sea.

Moreover, the full power of the lightning sea was to be unleashed upon that one youth alone.

Terrifying!

Some felt despair rising in their hearts.

This was the might of heaven and earth; before heaven and earth, living beings were like dust—how could one fight against heaven?

The firmament was roaring, howling.

Inside the State Governance Mansion, Xia Qi's expression was ugly.

Why?

Why had Chen Yan clearly already performed the 【Phantom Slaughter Dragon-Culling Style】, yet the benevolence of that lightning-formed face had not been awakened?

Xia Qi thought of a certain possibility and subconsciously took a step back.

The only possibility was that the Prefecture Brilliance that had brought down the lightning tribulation was not the Qin Prefecture Prefecture Brilliance, but the Jin Prefecture Prefecture Brilliance.

"This is not a Law-Extinguishing Realm lightning tribulation!"

Xia Hanzhou rushed into the State Governance Mansion in an instant, his old face trembling:

"We got it wrong!"

Xia Qi was speechless.

Everyone had gotten it wrong.

The fifth-realm Law-Extinguishing Realm lightning tribulation that Lu Xunyang had experienced back then was nowhere near as powerful as the sixth-realm Self-Alone Realm lightning tribulation.

This did not conform to common sense.

The Law-Extinguishing Realm lightning tribulation was a tribulation for a tempering martial artist to break away from the laws of heaven and earth, which was why it was even more powerful.

And the reason the lightning tribulation was even more powerful when Lu Xunyang crossed the tribulation for the Self-Alone Realm was that the ten Prefecture Prefectures Brilliances had forged divine armor for him.

That is because the lightning tribulation Lu Xunyang underwent back then for the Solitary Self Realm was a realm lightning tribulation, and also...

A General-Bestowing Lightning Tribulation!

It was not the first-rank General Star recognized by the Xia Clan, but a true Divine General!

It was the Jin Province Province Brilliance that descended the lightning tribulation upon him to judge whether he could become a Divine General!

But Xia Hanzhou did not expect this, and neither did Xia Qi.

They believed that for Chen Yan to become a Divine General, it would be a matter for at least after the fifth rank.

Before Lu Xunyang, one could only become a Divine General at the seventh rank.

But Chen Yan is only at the fourth rank.

In this world, where would a fourth-rank Divine General come from?

If you become a Divine General, is there anyone who can acknowledge you?

But the Xia Clan's Divine Generals were not established by the Xia Clan ruling the nation at all; they were established by the Jin Province Province Brilliance.

Therefore, even if others do not acknowledge you, as long as you survive the General-Bestowing Lightning Tribulation, you are a Divine General.

Commanding legions, one of the highest echelons of Great Xia!

But Chen Yan, it is too early.

Too young, and the realm is too low.

Only the fourth rank.

A fourth rank becoming a Divine General, what a joke.

Xia Hanzhou wanted to speak but stopped; he should have guessed it.

This person is the Master of Martial Dao.

If he can even create Martial Dao, then what does it matter if he becomes a Divine General at the Origin Realm?

"But the Jin Province Province Brilliance is a total idiot!"

Xia Hanzhou roared out loud.

The Province Brilliance has no way of thinking; it just thinks you are qualified to be bestowed as a general and then grants the General-Bestowing Lightning Tribulation.

But the problem is, Chen Yan also has the Law-Extinguishing Realm lightning tribulation.

Can Chen Yan's Law-Extinguishing Realm lightning tribulation be the same as everyone else's?

It was already difficult to the extreme, and now you have added a General-Bestowing Lightning Tribulation on top of it.

This...

There is no way to play this.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking sound of thunder resonated through the clouds, and Xia Hanzhou's heart sank.

He looked toward the cloud-mist silver screen.

The fifth lightning tribulation had ended.

Chen Yan was covered in blood, his head hanging low, standing tall high above in the sky, gasping for breath.

His eyes were cold and sharp.

So, what is the root of everything?

The root of everything is that Chen Yan himself wanted to cross the mountain, so the Green Mountain arrived.

The conjecture in his heart had already been confirmed.

The lightning tribulation must be personally endured by oneself.

Being protected while enduring it, or using schemes to endure it, will not work.

The lightning tribulation is right there.

You will only succeed if you endure it.

Then why did such a lightning tribulation arrive?

It was what he said from the very beginning.

Not to be a General Star of Great Xia, but to be a Divine General of ten thousand generations.

The Province Brilliance sensed his ambition and perceived his sentiments.

The path that he, Chen Yan, has walked from the beginning.

Is a path he paved for himself.

No one forced him; it was a vision he had long since promised.

He had said it to Jiang Yuan in the underground organization of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, firmly and decisively.

He had also said it to Jiang Yuan when the dawn appeared today.

But the same words had become incomparably heavy this morning.

That is why he asked that fourth question to the Xia Lord Sword.

Then, what is a General of ten thousand generations?

Chen Yan raised his head and opened his arms.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, that 【Intent】 Saint-Breaking Fruit had completely matured.

At this moment, no one could stop him anymore.

On the earth, some watched in horror, some covered their lips, and some had tears welling up in their eyes.

Within the Military Martial Guard, the fifteen-year-old girl Chen Yu clenched her fists tightly.

She desperately wanted to rush over, hug her brother, and say:

"Brother, let's go home, stop undergoing the tribulation."

However, she did not; she knew her older brother's ambitions.

No one could understand.

Inside the State Administration Mansion, Xia Qi gave a bitter smile.

"It's fine!"

He said it was fine, after all, he had still left Chen Yan with one chance to not die.

As long as one does not die, then there is still hope.

Within Chen Prefecture.

The Chen Lord looked into the laboratory at Chen Yuanxin, whose physical body was smoking and who was screaming in agony:

"Terminate the experiment; there is no need for it anymore."

Chen Yuanxin let out a miserable shriek and collapsed to the ground.

There was no joy on the Chen Lord's face.

The System determined that Chen Yuanxin's strength was the most similar to Chen Yan's.

But is it similar?

You, a Sixth-Order, are constantly wailing, screaming, and losing your fighting spirit under the lightning tribulation.

But that Chen Yan never retreated, never uttered a single word, and his fighting intent was soaring.

Even if Chen Yuanxin's strength is close to Chen Yan's, if the two were to meet, the one to die would only be Chen Yuanxin.

Trash, how can a Sixth-Order be such garbage?!

With such a comparison, the Chen Lord's heart sank even lower.

This should have been the genius of his Chen Prefecture!

Anger erupted in his heart, and he wanted Chen Qi to kneel and apologize.

But it does not matter anymore; that genius is now unable to hold on.

Heaven and Earth want to destroy him.

A genius so powerful that even Heaven and Earth want to destroy him.

The System's judgment was correct; Chen Yan truly cannot survive the sixth bolt.

"Sigh..."

The Chen Lord sighed softly.

The next moment.

Boom!

The sixth lightning tribulation descended!

Hundreds of millions of lightning bolts were like falling stars and rain, weaving into a vast electric net, as if they could split all things in the world into powder.

Screams and wails rang out.

The Chen Lord was in no mood to look; who would be happy to see a heaven-gifted talent of their own clan fall?

Even if it is not a heaven-gifted talent of one's own clan.

The fall of a heaven-gifted talent who transcends concepts still makes one secretly lament the pity.

However.

Just at this moment.

"He!!!"

Inside the laboratory, a researcher screamed out, seemingly in disbelief, and jumped up.

The Chen Lord frowned, glanced over, and his entire body stiffened.

For he saw, within that giant screen.

Boom—!

Endless fist light condensed, transforming into a boundless, towering mountain, erupting just like that from the youth's fist!

Colliding with the wild lightning of Heaven and Earth, it was incomparably terrifying!

The ten thousand lightning waterfalls were forcibly blocked and shattered.

Between Heaven and Earth, only that one figure remained.

The Chen Lord's pupils suddenly constricted:

"His... Fist Realm..."

"It has leveled up!"
