Chapter 50: Heavenly Tribulation Passed, Extreme Boundary Achieved!

Ye Chen listened to the system's words and asked the system: "This Heavenly Tribulation, can I avoid crossing it?"

The rolling black clouds above his head made Ye Chen feel that a single bolt of lightning could blast him to debris.

But the system's words made him feel even more helpless.

【Cannot, host, peacefully undergo the tribulation; this system awaits your good news.】

"Damn system, what use are you! Other people's systems are the awesome-plus type, easily solving Heavenly Tribulations; look at you, you can't even solve a single Heavenly Tribulation."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the system's panel suddenly appeared before him; on the panel was a smiling face.

【Ding——Heavenly Tribulation strengthened.】

After hearing the system's words, Ye Chen looked at the system panel in disbelief, "Holy crap, you can still play like this, system, honestly tell me, are you trying to switch hosts?"

【No, because of your foul mouth, this system simply wants to blast you to death.】

At the same time, Ye Chen clearly sensed that the power of his Heavenly Tribulation had increased by more than one level.

Seeing this, Ye Chen exclaimed, "Holy shit, system, you're really doing this!"

【This system always does what it says.】

After the system finished speaking, Ye Chen placed his right palm on his face and slapped his right palm hard with his left hand, "How did my mouth become so foul!"

However, at this moment he could no longer worry about that, because he clearly sensed that his Heavenly Tribulation was about to fall, and at the same moment he threw his phone watch far away, not believing his phone watch could survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

And in the distance, the people of Dachang City all saw this thick layer of black clouds.

On social media, it was also extremely lively.

"My goodness, what's happening, how does that place have such thick black clouds?"

"I don't know, it feels like the end of the world; could the apocalypse really be coming?"

"Hey you upstairs, don't speak first, you with your bronze teeth and iron jaws, quickly find a place to hide, you're not allowed to turn into a zombie!"

"I'll be the first to bite you after I turn!"

"Really?!"

"For real."

"Then come on; as for how to bite, we'll talk when you arrive."

After this comment was posted, the following comments were all three question marks.

Netizens were still joking around lightly, but as the person involved, Ye Chen even felt like wanting to die.

"System overlord, I was wrong, can you give me a chance to reform?"

However, the system did not reply to his words.

Seeing that the system had no intention of replying, Ye Chen steeled himself, "It's just a Heavenly Tribulation; I'll undergo it for you to see!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the Taiji Double Fish Diagram slowly appeared behind him; almost instantly, his aura rose to a peak.

At the same time, his Heavenly Tribulation fell, accompanied by a violent "boom—rumble" sound; the next moment, a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket struck down, and upon seeing this bolt, Ye Chen's eyes widened instantly.

He had never seen such lightning before; even a bolt as thick as an arm or leg would be considered large, but now the lightning was as thick as a water bucket, and moreover, the natural lightning was still brewing; Ye Chen estimated that the later lightning might be as big as a full-grown person.

But the situation now no longer allowed him to think about that, because the heavenly lightning had already arrived before him.

The Taiji Double Fish Diagram instantly enlarged, meeting that heavenly lightning; at the moment of collision between the Taiji Double Fish Diagram and the heavenly lightning came a "crack—crackle" sound, the diagram was covered in fissures, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Pfft!

Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth, and said to the system: "Tell me, how many Heavenly Tribulations must I endure!"

【Three.】

After the system finished speaking, a hint of despair rose in Ye Chen's heart; the first Heavenly Tribulation had nearly left him gravely injured, and there were still two more, which he dared not think about, because even he now did not know how to endure the remaining two Heavenly Tribulations.

But soon his mindset underwent a drastic change, his eyes turning sharp, "I still don't believe three Heavenly Tribulations can kill me; bring it on!"

Ye Chen shouted at the heavenly lightning in the sky; the lightning seemed to sense his provocation, and the second Heavenly Tribulation fell accordingly.

Boom!

The shattered Taiji Double Fish Diagram again rose to meet the heavenly lightning; this time the diagram could not block the lightning, it was split apart by the lightning, and the lightning then struck straight at Ye Chen, who sensed this terrifying heavenly lightning as a terrifying aura suddenly burst from his whole body.

Bang!

Person and lightning collided together; almost instantly Ye Chen was flung backward, while blood continuously flowed from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment he only felt that even lifting his hand was strenuous, but he still had one more Heavenly Tribulation.

He painfully lifted his head, breathing deeply, he slowly rose from the ground, shedding his broken body, and stood up straight.

"Again!"

As his words fell, the heavenly lightning struck down again; this bolt of heavenly lightning, as Ye Chen had expected, was as large as a full-grown person's height.

Almost instantly, Ye Chen's entire body was enveloped by the heavenly lightning.

Ye Chen endured the heavenly lightning without a sound; his tiny body was completely within the lightning, and each second felt like excruciating pain to him.

But the heavenly lightning came and went quickly; soon it dissipated, and Ye Chen's scorched-black body lay still on the ground—describing him as "charred outside, tender inside" would not be an exaggeration.

【Congratulations host, having passed the Secret Realm Heavenly Tribulation, you have achieved the supreme foundation; the Secret Realm, also called the Extreme Boundary, is the extreme of the Dao.】

【From now on, your path of cultivation will be extraordinarily smooth! Celebrate, for a person of the Extreme Boundary, unparalleled in ten thousand ages, is born now!】

Lying on the ground, Ye Chen listened to the system's words, his heart burning with anger; if the system had not strengthened the Heavenly Tribulation, he might not have ended up so miserable.

If he could speak now, he would surely curse the system, "Celebrate what? I was almost well-done!"

But now he lay on the ground, even opening his mouth was difficult, let alone cursing the system.

Thus, the system successfully escaped a calamity.

At this very moment, the power of the Extreme Boundary continuously flowed into his body, enhancing his cultivation and repairing his body.

Ye Chen lay there like that for a long time until his body had mostly recovered, then he slowly rose from the ground.

"Phew, I almost got eaten."

Ye Chen sat cross-legged, began actively repairing his body, and soon his injuries were mostly healed.

After his bodily injuries were mostly healed, he stood up and retrieved his phone watch; fortunately, he had thrown it far enough that it suffered little damage.

We can't stay here long; the people responsible for investigating this phenomenon should arrive soon.

Ye Chen said, looking at the scene here that resembled an apocalypse.

In the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot, and shortly after he left, a group of people in protective suits appeared here.

Leader, the residual energy here is violently abnormal; no means today can achieve this, not even nuclear or hydrogen bombs.

The buzz-cut youth said to the middle-aged man before him.

Nature is truly frightening, Wang Ping; you survey this place, I'll go make a call.

After Chu He said that, he walked aside to make a call; Wang Ping didn't know what Chu He said on the phone, but from Chu He's solemn expression, it was probably not good.

But Wang Ping heard Chu He's last words; after Chu He finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

I suspect... it's a powerful cultivator!
