Chapter 438: Heavenly Tribulation? Nothing More!

This change happened too suddenly!

A second ago, Xu Que was still magnificent, his momentum overwhelming, standing on the mountaintop acting cool!

But that golden lightning descended so suddenly. Not only did Xu Que not have time to react, but the crowd present, along with the Empress, couldn't react in time either.

After all, that was an ancient catastrophe; the speed was simply too fast!

Xu Que truly suffered the consequences of being struck by lightning for acting cool. After being struck down to the ground by the golden lightning, his whole person smashed into the mountain, and he didn't even have a reaction!

This made many people feel somewhat unable to accept it for a while.

No one thought Xu Que could survive, because that was the legendary golden lightning tribulation that could kill gods and destroy Buddhas.

Although many people didn't like Xu Que, seeing him end up like this still made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Such a powerful youth, who even blocked the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, ended up dying in such a tiny wisp of ancient catastrophe, which was truly regrettable.

But there were also some people at the scene who immediately showed gloating smiles.

"Hahaha, it's Heaven's will! It's Heaven's will!" The old man laughed suddenly, incomparably excited. "The second lightning tribulation didn't strike him to death, but it successfully increased the difficulty of the subsequent Heavenly Tribulation. This kid dying in the ancient catastrophe should be something to celebrate!"

Many people swept their gazes toward the old man, their expressions somewhat ugly.

Clearly, everyone felt the old man was too ruthless. At a time like this, he was actually gloating!

Although General Zhuge was indeed hateful, he had also made quite a few contributions. Recapturing the Water Origin Kingdom was a great achievement, and cooking burgers and ice cream benefited everyone. Although the price was a bit expensive, compared to those powerful pills, this price was already very cheap.

Now that he had died like this, even if there was hatred, shouldn't he gloat like this?

However, even if the crowd was angry, they didn't dare to offend the old man. After all, he was an old strong person at the sixth layer of the Infant Transformation Stage. Among those present, the only one who could fight him was probably the Empress.

But the Empress now had no time to deal with the old man. She still stared at the mountaintop, her eyes shining, her divine soul power wide open, searching for Xu Que's traces.

"Boom—!"

At this time, a muffled sound came from the sky again. The thunder clouds were still rolling, and from time to time, tiny golden lightning bolts streaked across them.

"My god, why hasn't the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared yet?" Immediately, someone exclaimed.

"Could it be... could it be that General Zhuge is still alive?"

"He didn't die?"

"How is that possible? Just now, that golden lightning clearly struck him!"

"Yeah! I saw it too!"

Everyone was moved, exclaiming and discussing.

The smile on the old man's face froze at this moment: "Ho... how could this be? That kid, how could he still be alive?"

The Empress's expression relaxed slightly. The Heavenly Tribulation hadn't dissipated, which meant Xu Que was still alive, and her divine soul power had already sensed Xu Que's aura, but she didn't know how Xu Que's injuries were now...

"Xu Que, can you hear me?" She moved her crimson lips and transmitted her voice to Xu Que.

"I hear you!"

Soon, Xu Que's voice responded, but the tone was somewhat low, as if it contained anger.

The Empress breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Before the third Heavenly Tribulation truly descends, hurry to the Altar of Heaven!"

"I won't go! This Heavenly Tribulation is tired of living, daring to sneak attack me. Forcing me to explode the sky!" Xu Que's angry voice came.

The Empress was stunned and opened her mouth, preparing to continue transmitting.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted on the mountaintop.

Rocks splashed, a sandstorm suddenly swept up, and following that, a figure flew out from within, stepping on lightning, treading on the void, emitting a burst of explosive sound.

Instantly, everyone in the audience was startled. Looking up, the figure in the air was none other than Xu Que!

"Damn, it really is General Zhuge!"

"He really didn't die!"

"Too terrifying, how on earth did he survive?"

"No, look, General Zhuge's clothes are dripping with blood. He's injured!"

Someone had sharp eyes and discovered the bloodstains on Xu Que's clothes.

But Xu Que was rushing toward the sky, full of anger, holding the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand, looking like he was going to fight someone to the death.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

This... what is he doing?

He's injured and doesn't hurry to heal, yet he actually wants to welcome the lightning tribulation? That's an ancient catastrophe, is he tired of living?

"Xu Que, don't be impulsive!" The Empress couldn't sit still either and immediately opened her mouth to transmit.

"I'm fine!"

Xu Que replied.

He was indeed injured just now. He didn't have time to dodge, and his entire shoulder was directly torn open by the golden lightning, but he had the acting-cool system with him. He only needed to pay the price of one Acting Cool Point per hour to activate the automatic repair system and let his injuries heal.

And that golden lightning, he hadn't successfully absorbed it into his body, plus being sneak-attacked and injured, he was filled with anger.

"Damn, even the Heavenly Tribulation sneak attacks? Aren't you ashamed? Come! If you have the guts, come again!" Xu Que rushed into the clouds and roared angrily.

Of course, he didn't lose his head. While provoking and roaring, he took out the Vibrant Armor and Banshee Veil and put them on to increase his magic resistance.

"Hiss!"

The crowd at the scene gasped, their scalps tingling.

What kind of person is this?

At a time like this, having already summoned the ancient catastrophe and being injured himself, he actually dared to provoke Heaven!

"Boom—!"

At this time, a loud noise erupted in the sky, the thunder clouds rolled violently, and the golden lightning suddenly became dense.

Although each wisp was tiny, the murderous intent emitted made everyone feel cold in their backs, smelling the aura of death.

"Come!"

Xu Que roared, his black long hair fluttering with the wind, his clothes fluttering, incomparably heroic!

This time, he was truly angered!

The Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand was already covered with the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, and behind him, with a "boom," he unfolded a pair of black fire wings over ten meters long, his momentum magnificent, shocking countless people present.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, three golden lightning bolts descended.

Without warning, incomparably swift, like three golden thin snakes, they streaked toward Xu Que's head in the blink of an eye.

"Break for me!" Xu Que opened his eyes in anger, held the Xuan Heavy Ruler high, carried the full-stack Killing Sword, unleashed the Flame Splitting Wave Devouring Ruler, and with an invincible momentum, slashed toward the three golden lightning bolts.

Bang!

Instantly, a huge explosion occurred in the air.

Xu Que was shaken away, falling toward the ground, and the black fire wings behind him were also scattered in the explosion, turning into pieces of black flames and splashing out.

But the three golden lightning bolts were also shattered at the same time! They turned into tiny golden rays as thin as cow hair, falling from the sky, but were all absorbed into Xu Que's body.

The entire scene was instantly silent, speechless.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their minds blank, unable to believe the scene they were seeing.

That ancient catastrophe known for killing gods and destroying Buddhas, the golden lightning, was actually shattered?

"Puff!"

At this time, Xu Que, who had absorbed the golden lightning, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

It wasn't that he couldn't withstand the golden lightning, but the confrontation just now caused him to suffer heavy injuries again.

Xu Que was also horrified in his heart. This Heavenly Tribulation was indeed much more powerful than the last one, especially this golden lightning. Although it looked tiny, the power of each wisp was more terrifying than that vast Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.

Just now he tried his best and even used the thirty-fold power bonus of the full-stack Killing Sword, but after clashing head-on with the three golden lightning bolts, he was still injured.

"System, continue to activate the automatic recovery function, and by the way, give me another Dharma Artifact that increases magic resistance! Yes, this Negative Cloak. Damn, I don't believe this little bit of lightning can beat me!"

Whoosh!

Xu Que successfully exchanged for a Negative Cloak, immediately put it on his shoulders, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze cold, sweeping toward the sky.

Everyone held their breath, staring at him in a daze, incomparably horrified in their hearts. Having suffered such a great injury, does he still want to continue fighting?

"Heavenly Tribulation? Nothing more!"

At this time, Xu Que suddenly spoke, the corners of his mouth raised in a cold smile, and he shouted:

"Thousand layers of tribulation, hundred generations of hardship, ancient times fleeting, in the blink of an eye!

Indestructible body, indestructible soul, shocking the ancient and shining the present, no one is an enemy!

When Yin and Yang are reversed, I will dye the blue sky with my demonic blood!

Heavenly Tribulation? Ancient catastrophe? Come!"
