Chapter 132: Xu Chen Provokes the Heavenly Tribulation

Ye Xuan was utterly stunned: "It's really a Seventh-Grade Extreme-Grade Pill? The Heavenly Tribulation is about to descend?" Seeing this, he collapsed straight to the ground.

At this moment, he felt as if struck by a massive blow, his eyes tinged with faint despair. How could Xu Chen be this strong?

Ling Zunzhe sighed: "Geniuses abound in this world, but I've never seen one like Xu Chen before."

Even in my youth, I never achieved such a feat.

Xu Chen has only studied for a short while, yet he's attained such a level of alchemical mastery—truly rare. Only four words can describe it: astonishing talent, a wonder of heaven and earth!

Among the sect geniuses within the Enan Field, eyes widened in shock, murmuring: "The entire pill-refining process took less than a quarter-hour."

"This is a Seventh-Grade Pill—if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

"Others take at least three days. He forms the pill in idle chatter, a mere wave of his hand produces Seventh-Grade Extreme-Grade Pill Fragrance." Such a spectacle made today's journey worthwhile—likely never to be seen again. In an instant, everyone within the Enan Field wore expressions of awe.

They looked at Xu Chen, and unconsciously, a hint of reverence entered their eyes. Some had even known Xu Chen from the Tianxuan Secret Realm.

This time, they had thought that after reaching Seventh Grade, they could overshadow Xu Chen. They never imagined they had overestimated themselves again.

No matter the grade, Xu Chen crushes all his peers.

After all, alchemists like Xu Chen—there's likely only one in the entire Tianzun Dynasty.

Outside the Enan Field, the crowd all drew sharp, hissing breaths.

Lu Chong, as if slapped, sighed: "This old man's vision was too narrow—Xu Chen's abilities far surpass mine!"

The crowd internally spat: Now he calls him "young friend"? So shameless.

Du E clasped his hands: "Amitabha, Xu Chen's talent is just like my long-lost younger brother from childhood."

The crowd gasped—they thought Lu Chong was shameless enough. But Du E had already claimed Xu Chen as his brother.

They quickly countered, unwilling to be outdone: "Fortunately, I met Brother Xu Chen the day before yesterday and gave him some guidance. Seeing his achievements today, I am deeply pleased."

"Heh, when he was a child, Xu Chen begged to become my disciple. I refused because I'd sworn never to take one—yet I taught him for seven days. Now look at him!"

"When Xu Chen was two, his grandfather wanted to befriend me. I refused. Now I regret it."

Everyone was shamelessly riding Xu Chen's coattails.

Shangguan Luoyun said coolly: "Gentlemen, watch your words. If I inform Xu Chen of this, beware your futures."

The crowd hastily forced awkward smiles: "All past matters—nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth mentioning." Shangguan Luoyun snorted: "Do you think this Heavenly Tribulation can break through the Enan Field?"

Duanmu Jing said: "The Heavenly Tribulation ignores talismans, weapons—the Enan Field will be ignored too." Jin Tianlong nodded: "Correct. The Heavenly Tribulation will inevitably approach Xu Chen, and each of the seven strikes grows stronger than the last. But I've heard Xu Chen is a body cultivator—his flesh is strong. I believe he'll likely endure it."

Zhang Yun of Wudang stroked his beard: "Not necessarily. Who can truly predict the nature of a Heavenly Tribulation?" The crowd agreed: "The Daoist is right. A Heavenly Tribulation is a calamity—calamities are unpredictable." Upon hearing this, Shangguan Luoyun and Chi Lian both grew secretly anxious.

In my past life, this scene never happened. Xu Chen must not come to harm.

After all, they couldn't interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation.

Within the field, Xu Chen gazed at the formed pill and immediately sealed it into a vial.

Then he looked up at the sky and saw lightning flickering across it.

Silver bolts crackled continuously, thunder roaring without pause.

The explosions rang right beside his ears.

E Nan cried anxiously: "Xu Chen, if you can't hold out, just throw the pill away!" Xu Chen laughed: "A mere Heavenly Tribulation? How could I fear it?"

As he pondered, Xu Chen, before the stunned gazes of the crowd, summoned the Shen Yu Armor.

He thought: Originally, the Xuan Ling Shen Yu was just ordinary spiritual jade.

Later, it transformed after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and Spiritual Qi.

Now, this Heavenly Tribulation contains both the essence of heaven and earth and Spiritual Qi.

So—could the Shen Yu Armor absorb it and upgrade?" "Hum!"

The instant he finished thinking, his Divine Sense stirred—and the Shen Yu Armor instantly covered his skin.

In an instant, a faint glow shimmered across Xu Chen's body, crystal-clear and divinely radiant.

The great ones outside the Enan Field stared in shock: "What a wondrous armor—it can merge into the flesh."

"Indeed, as if one with the body, crystal-clear, of an exceptionally rare material."

"Ye Xuan's Qianlin Armor pales in comparison to Xu Chen's Shen Yu Armor." The great cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, nodding repeatedly—even they longed to possess such armor! Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and sneered: "Dare wear armor to defy the Heavenly Tribulation? The Tribulation is a calamity—can your tiny armor block it?" Xu Chen's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He knew the Heavenly Tribulation would ignore all artifacts and strike his flesh directly. But his Protective Qi was part of his flesh too—this Tribulation couldn't ignore that. "Boom!"

In an instant, his Protective Qi and Shen Yu Armor fully enveloped him. Then the first crimson Heavenly Tribulation plummeted from above, striking him. His Protective Qi reduced the damage by fifty percent and reflected one hundred percent back. Combined with his Seventh-Rank Initial Stage flesh, the first lightning bolt didn't even make a hair fall. Instead, Xu Chen noticed a few sparks entering the Shen Yu Armor, making its luster smoother.

The Shen Yu Armor's aura subtly strengthened.

Xu Chen's eyes brightened: Useful. Perfect. Then he looked up and shouted: "That's it? That's all the Heavenly Tribulation's got? Bring more! I'm bored!" The female leads: "…"

Don't, Xu Chen—the Heavenly Dao has consciousness!

Saying that might really get you killed. Once, a Martial Artist mocked the Heavenly Dao—and vanished.

The crowd's lips twitched. Brother, you're truly incredible. We've seen countless people endure Heavenly Tribulations—but never one who dared defy it.

You're really eager to die faster! "Boom—!"

As expected, the next Heavenly Tribulation descended faster and with greater force. Shangguan Luoyun gasped: "This isn't ordinary orange Tribulation—it's increased by one-tenth!"

The crowd stared blankly. Has the Heavenly Dao truly enraged? Damn!

Xu Chen is truly the first in history! Soon, the second orange Heavenly Tribulation struck Xu Chen—but he remained unharmed.

The Shen Yu Armor's aura strengthened slightly again.

Xu Chen still complained: "Didn't eat? Huh? Why not just come all at once? Damn, this Tribulation's so weak!" The crowd: "…"

Amazing! Truly amazing!

A newborn calf fears no tiger! Treat the Heavenly Tribulation like a fool. The female leads were numb: Don't curse him, Xu Chen—we're terrified you'll die. "Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

This time, the Heavenly Dao seemed to hear Xu Chen's shout—and unleashed two Tribulations at once. Yellow and green lightning descended simultaneously, slamming into Xu Chen. The crowd's hearts lurched. They'd never witnessed such a spectacle: two Heavenly Tribulations falling together. Their mouths hung open—they almost wanted to award Xu Chen a prize: "The Defiant-Tribulation Award, unquestionably Xu Chen's."

Instantly, the third and fourth Heavenly Tribulations crashed down on Xu Chen. Two strikes at once, immensely powerful. For the first time, Xu Chen was injured.

He winced, sucking in air: "Huh, broke the skin—actually hurts a bit." The crowd: "…" The crowd was dumbfounded.

This fucking thing only scratched the skin? Fuck!

Are your Protective Qi and flesh really that insane?

This is already the enhanced Heavenly Tribulation, bro! Ye Xuan, who had been ready to mock Xu Chen, was also stunned by this sight. How the hell could he mock now?

Is this fucking Xu Chen really that insane? "Three more left, right? Come on, give me something truly painful!" Xu Chen extended his middle finger and taunted the Heavenly Dao.

He vaguely realized that after his flesh had broken, he seemed able to absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Though most of the power was absorbed by the Shen Yu Battle Armor, a small portion strengthened his flesh. If so, he couldn't let this opportunity slip. "Boom!"

"Boom!"
