Chapter 1921 - 2007: Absorbing the Power of the Heavenly Tribulation
Chapter 1921 - 2007: Absorbing the Power of the Heavenly Tribulation
The Ghost Venerable had just finished speaking, and at the next moment, the shape of the Thunder Ball began to change.
"Look quickly, it seems to be turning into a human form," Ji Yueshen couldn’t help but say.
Ou Yifei’s slightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, "It seems that what Ghost Venerable said is true, Chen Nan has survived."
Ghost Venerable, however, shook his head with a bitter smile, "I didn’t say that; I only said Chen Nan might survive. You must know the power of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulations is too strong. Even with my realm and that of the Jiuyin Witch, to absorb it completely is wishful thinking. Chen Nan..."
"What about Chen Nan?"
Ou Yifei’s expression changed slightly. Although a Half-step Supreme, she understood Ghost Venerable’s meaning.
The energy of this tribulation is too massive. For Chen Nan to absorb and refine it at his level might cause his entire body to explode.
Yet, she still couldn’t help wanting to hear Ghost Venerable say it himself.
"Alas, the power of Heaven is too strong. I once asked my senior brother why the Heavenly People Clan have their world, cultivate so quickly, and still invade our Four Extremes World. My senior brother said he once heard a righteous path expert say something."
Ghost Venerable’s gaze was profound, as if his memory had returned to Ancient Times, "That righteous path expert said, the Heavenly People Clan are the darlings of the Heavenly Dao, but only limited to the Supreme Realm. The Heavenly Dao is both a gift and a shackle for them. Despite many epochs, the strongest in their world cannot break through the Supreme to enter the Domain Lord Realm."
"Why is this?"
Ou Yifei couldn’t help but ask. Her constitution was of the Heavenly People Clan, indeed faster in cultivation. Moreover, her body absorbed the Power of World Origin from her clan’s Supreme Expert, advancing effortlessly, a rarity. Such a thing is simply impossible for a Human Clan member.
"Everything has pros and cons, just like the moon has its phases. The Heavenly People Clan receive great benefits from the Heavenly Dao in one aspect, but they lose the most precious thing — the path to the truly strongest, exploring the mysteries of the Nine Heavens and Ten Realms."
As Ghost Venerable spoke, he looked at Chen Nan. Originally, the Thunder Ball had become a human shape, seemingly struggling, yet the overwhelming Divine Thunder continued falling.
"The Chaos Sacred Body is truly the first physique of the Four Extremes World. Chen Nan’s current Chaos Sacred Body is far from the stage of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor in the past, but to maintain an undamaged flesh amidst this Divine Thunder, even I and Jiuyin would find it extremely difficult."
Ghost Venerable’s gaze flashed with envy and anticipation.
If Chen Nan could break out, what awaits would be rebirth. Not dying in this tribulation will make his future cultivation path easier.
He never relied on the Heavenly Dao, so when the Heavenly Dao wants him dead, it cannot summon enough power to destroy him.
"Chen Nan, hold on. We are all old. The future world belongs to you youngsters."
Ghost Venerable shouted into the void, uncaring if Chen Nan could hear him, thinking it was better than doing nothing.
The disciples of the Blood Martial Hall, seeing Chen Nan’s Human Clan form and witnessing the strength of Ghost Venerable and Jiuyin Witch, did not leave. They followed Hall Master Shangguan, with blood battles, blood kills, blood blade murders, using the unique hand sign of the Heavenly People Clan, placing their fist upon their heart to pray for Chen Nan.
Yunhua Heavenly Monarch stood in front of Ji Yueshen, looked at the innumerable Divine Artifacts and treasure armors turned to rubble by the aftermath of the tribulation, feeling heartache.
"Moon God, though my realm is not as high as yours, Chen Nan’s path is like mine in some ways, seeking the road of strength between Life and Death. If he were to die, he would have been dead already. If he could survive, he will naturally survive."
Yunhua, at Half-step Supreme Peak State, had long experienced countless life-and-death situations and had become indifferent to life. It was for this reason Life and Death didn’t matter to her.
Ji Yueshen’s big eyes blinked, tears gradually appearing in her eyes, "Chen Nan, that scoundrel, though he’s quite bad, if he just dies, who will play with us in the future, isn’t that right?"
After all, to a fifteen-year-old girl’s mind, facing life and death was too much to bear. Yunhua, however, was carefree, "Good people don’t live long; troublemakers last a thousand years. Chen Nan is a troublemaker, destined to plague the Heavenly People Clan, living for thousands of years without problem."
The Blood Martial Hall members heard this and looked at each other, frustrated, even being sniped while lying down. Within the Heavenly People Clan, there are both good and bad, darn it!
However, they only snorted coldly in their hearts without saying anything. Their old age and lack of interest in arguing with these two young girls meant their concern was solely on whether Chen Nan could survive.
"Apart from the blood lakes sucked dry by the Blood Dragon Talisman in the palace, the other three blood lakes will need relocation. With the palace ruined, surely someone will covet them."
Shangguan Xue, looking at the distant ruins, worried even as an accustomed brute. Wanshou Valley was a second-rate sect, and its Valley Master was slain by a Human Clan expert, leaving not even a scrap behind. Surely greater troubles are yet to come.
As Shangguan Xue pondered, suddenly, a translucent power surged from the Human-shaped Divine Thunder.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The skeletons of the Beast Taming House disciples from the Heavenly People Clan, spared from the initial tribulation aftermath, and treasures, even the beast blood from the three blood lakes of the Blood Martial Hall, seemed to be drawn by an enormous suction force, rising skyward.
These items, like massive waves, were suddenly lifted; Ghost Venerable and Jiuyin Witch’s faces changed abruptly as they hurried to take Ou Yifei, Yunhua, and Ji Yueshen pulled back hundreds of miles.
"Such terrifying power! The power of Divine Thunder is too strong; Chen Nan is using the Essence of All Things to counter the Power of Heaven. Such a method, only he could think of," Jiuyin Witch, knowledgeable, couldn’t shake her head at this moment. This approach had miraculous effects but was terrifyingly insane.
Knowing that if the two powers could not merge for Chen Nan’s use, he could bid farewell to the Outer Domain Battlefield, with no corpse left, Divine Soul annihilated.
This balance is extremely difficult to find, especially during promotion. Cultivators tend to experience Deviation because the promotion itself creates an internal imbalance.
"Urgh!" Chen Nan roared.
All those sucked into the surroundings of his body immediately turned to dust. The next moment, countless pure powers were absorbed into the Human-shaped Divine Thunder.
At this moment, Chen Nan was completely encased in condensed Divine Thunder, the force tearing open the surrounding void, nearly casting him into a Heaven and Earth node.
He struggled to keep his body’s balance, with scenes of him and the girls flashing in his mind, along with his Master turned into a Divine Statue and a host of Ancient Times Four Extremes World experts behind the Primordial Luotian Formation...
"I must live, for them, live on!"
Chen Nan’s organs felt as if they were about to rupture. His body bore two terrifying forces: one from the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation beyond the Nine Heavens, and the other from the Essence of All Things of the Outer Domain Battlefield.
