The Terrifying Fourth Tribulation
After annihilating numerous soldiers, the thundercloud above seemed to have vented some of its fury, becoming calmer than before, but it still showed no signs of dissipating, because the main culprit was still alive!
“Damn it! Almost died here!”
Ye Chen struggled to crawl out of the ruins. His current state was extremely poor, his entire body covered in the Power of Thunder. Even with the Great Dao Undying Body, he couldn’t recover immediately.
He quickly searched for Qiufeng’s location. If another Heavenly Tribulation came, he feared he wouldn’t be able to withstand it himself!
Fortunately, Ye Chen quickly discovered Qiufeng lying in the distance like a dead dog. The man had already turned into a charred corpse.
“Old Cauldron, is there any way to shield the Heavenly Tribulation?”
Looking up at the sky, the rumbling tribulation cloud still hadn’t dispersed. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and quickly called for help.
“Yes, the Heavenly Eye has this function. With your current strength, you can hold off the Heavenly Tribulation for half an hour.”
“But I must remind you, shielding is only a delay. This will also anger the Heavenly Dao, and the next strike will likely destroy the world.”
The Devouring Immortal Cauldron had never felt such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. The thundercloud in the heavens inexplicably excited it.
Of course, what was excited was that Ye Chen, this prodigy, could actually find it.
“Enough.”
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his mind already made up.
Since he had already done it, he might as well go big!
If Zhenwu Academy wasn’t eliminated, in the future, both he and the Sword Immortal Sect would have no peace!
Just consider it repayment for the Sect’s kindness!
“I will transmit the method to you!”
Instantly, an Inheritance Imprint appeared in Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness. He quickly sat cross-legged, and according to the method of Inheritance, opened his third eye.
After absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Power, the Heavenly Eye emitted a faint Golden Light, which eventually formed a Barrier, covering Ye Chen’s entire body.
With the Golden Light’s shielding, the Heavenly Dao seemed to have lost Ye Chen’s Aura. The Heavenly Tribulation, without a target, roared above his head, and the deafening Thunder echoed endlessly.
As the Devouring Immortal Cauldron had said, the Heavenly Tribulation had not disappeared, but was still circling above his head.
Although it couldn’t lock onto Ye Chen’s location, the Heavenly Tribulation could connect through Luck and remained suspended above his head, waiting for the right moment.
“This damn Heavenly Dao really wants to kill me!” Ye Chen cursed inwardly, quickly taking several Pills, recovering a lot of his State.
Having not yet passed the Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Chen could only be considered half-step Great Ascension, but his Strength was still much stronger than before.
With a flash, he instantly appeared beside the charred Qiufeng.
At this moment, Qiufeng only had his last breath left. The Power of Thunder still entangled him, making him unable to move.
Feeling Ye Chen approach, Qiufeng’s whole body tensed up. Without hesitation, his Nascent Soul left his body, transforming into a stream of light, attempting to escape underground.
However, how could Ye Chen possibly give him a Chance?
Reaching out to the Void, he grabbed the light cluster, firmly imprisoning it. It was clearly Qiufeng’s miniature Nascent Soul.
“Ye Chen! Spare me! Zhenwu Academy will treat you as an Honored Guest in the future! I can even ensure you become the Chancellor of Ling Province! One below the Monarch, ten thousand above!”
“No! I’ll ensure you become the Monarch! The Monarch of Ling Province!”
With only his Nascent Soul left, Qiufeng had no other Means, and had no Choice but to beg for mercy.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear towards Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen didn’t even glance at him. With a casual squeeze, he crushed Qiufeng’s Nascent Soul.
This Elder of Zhenwu Academy didn’t even have time to let out a final scream before he died and his Dao dissipated.
Having dealt with the two leaders, Ye Chen turned around and looked at the chaotic scene outside Yumen Pass.
The Ling Province army had already been scattered by the Heavenly Thunder. Even if they survived by luck, they were only remnants.
The Gu Feng defenders naturally knew what to do. Soon, officers led soldiers out of Yumen Pass and annihilated the enemy army.
The remaining matters were no longer Ye Chen’s concern. He looked back at the sky and twitched his mouth involuntarily.
This method of Shielding Heavenly Secrets was indeed not a good thing. The thundercloud was getting thicker and thicker, and it could pour down at any time.
This was simply a time bomb hanging above his head!
No longer wasting time, Ye Chen turned towards Zhenwu Academy and flew away on his Flying Sword.
Although he hadn’t truly broken through to the Great Ascension Realm yet, after experiencing three Heavenly Thunders, Ye Chen could slightly use a part of the Great Ascension Realm’s Strength. His Speed was many times faster than before, and with a “whoosh,” he flew a thousand meters.
Zhenwu Academy.
At this moment, numerous Disciples had already entered a state of readiness, and even the Sect Protection Array had been activated, ready to be deployed at any time.
Just two hours ago, Mo Lin and Mo Cangtian, two Great Ascension Realm Experts, had suppressed Zhenwu Academy.
The Grand Elder and the Dean were already restrained, and it was unlikely they could escape for a while.
Currently stationed at the Academy was the Second Elder, Liu Ying.
“Second Elder, what do you think are the chances of victory in this battle?”
Third Elder Murong Shan felt a little Worry. They never expected that Mo Cangtian, who had once been defeated by the Grand Elder, had recovered from his injuries and had once again stepped into the Great Ascension Realm!
With two Great Ascension Realm Experts, the Sword Immortal Sect had returned to eighty percent of its former Strength, catching Zhenwu Academy off guard.
“Humph! Mo Cangtian’s old wounds have just healed. Even if he has returned to Great Ascension, he is merely a paper Great Ascension. How can he fight the Dean and the Grand Elder?”
“Their defeat is only a matter of time. We just need to defend the Academy and prevent the Sword Immortal Sect from ambushing us.”
Liu Ying snorted coldly, not taking Mo Lin and Mo Cangtian seriously at all.
The Dean and Grand Elder were both veteran Great Ascension Realm Experts, and their Strength definitely surpassed the Mo brothers. He was very confident about this.
“That’s all we can do.”
Murong Shan nodded, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
The two subconsciously looked up at the sky at the same time. They saw a scene of dark clouds pressing down on the city in the distance, and their hearts sank.
“The weather really changes so quickly!” Murong Shan muttered, quickly turning back to urge the Academy Disciples to do their duty and ensure they could activate the Array at any time.
Liu Ying didn’t speak, but stared intently at the thundercloud. Although it was a thousand meters away, he could keenly sense the destructive Aura within it, and even his Spiritual Sense couldn’t penetrate it.
“This thunderstorm is quite big.”
However, the thundercloud expanded at a visible speed and soon enveloped the Academy.
The deafening thunder accompanied by lightning seemed to want to trap the whole world in a prison of lightning.
Liu Ying and Murong Shan waved their hands, and a layer of Magic Array Shield instantly rose above the Academy.
However, this was not the Sect Protection Array, but an ordinary defensive Magic Array, more than enough to withstand a thunderstorm.
However, no one noticed that in the center of the thundercloud, a small figure slowly enlarged and appeared above everyone.
“Damn it! I can’t hold on anymore! I finally arrived at the last minute!”
The figure was Ye Chen. At this moment, he felt his scalp tingling. The Heavenly Tribulation above his head had been brewing for half an hour. After accumulating its power for so long, it was conceivable how terrifying the fourth tribulation would be!
Rumbling!
Another deafening thunder exploded, and Ye Chen’s Shielding Heavenly Secrets finally shattered.
The Heavenly Tribulation recaptured Ye Chen’s Aura, seemingly completely enraged. The Power of Thunder fell like a torrential rain, pouring down towards Ye Chen!
