The tribulation clouds in the heavens, which had been densely descending with bolts of heavenly lightning, suddenly dispersed, leaving nothing behind.
This was caused by Ye Chen's single punch that shot upwards. This punch was peerlessly valiant, unmatched throughout the ages, directly annihilating the massive tribulation clouds spanning dozens of miles into nothingness, leaving nothing in its wake.
"My heavens..."
Everyone widened their eyes, staring in shock at this scene, and even more fearfully at the heroic, youthful figure high in the heavens, so godly and mighty, so peerless.
Unprecedented!
Throughout history, everyone who underwent tribulation passively endured the calamity, defending themselves, resisting the bombardment and damage of the heavenly tribulation. No one had ever dared to face the heavenly tribulation head-on like this, directly colliding with it, even annihilating it, advancing fearlessly.
But today, Ye Chen did it. He accomplished a feat unprecedented in history, one that would leave a heavy record in the annals of the Tian Du Continent.
Even Old Yan was stunned. The heavenly tribulation represented the Heavenly Dao; few dared to oppose it so brazenly.
But when he thought of him being the inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage, everything became clear.
Every person of this lineage revered neither heaven nor earth, believing themselves invincible, fearing nothing.
The progenitor of that lineage was an ultimate existence who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.
The heavens were clear and bright, all traces of the heavenly tribulation gone, leaving only a clear sky, nothing more.
Boom—
Suddenly, heaven and earth erupted violently, causing people's expressions to change, because in the next moment, the tribulation clouds that had been blasted apart and annihilated actually gathered back together with lightning speed. Moreover, a thick golden heavenly thunderbolt descended, striking Ye Chen head-on, blasting him directly into the lightning. The entire divine mountain shook violently. If not for the Trial Gate circulating with immortal Dao Rhyme for protection, it might have shattered.
Amidst the dust and smoke, Ye Chen stood up, but he was no longer as suave and composed as before. This golden heavenly thunderbolt had struck him until his skin split and flesh tore. His immortal golden body cracked, with large amounts of blood splattering. His waist and abdomen even had a terrifying wound that went straight through, the flesh charred, with no blood flowing.
Ye Chen had suffered a severe injury directly. This was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying wound, causing considerable worry.
However, this was not all. Under the horrified gazes of the onlookers, the massive tribulation clouds in the heavens unleashed one golden heavenly thunderbolt after another, a total of thirty-six, densely packed, bombarding Ye Chen.
"This kind of golden heavenly thunder is the legendary Shattering Gold Thunder. It can even pierce through a Heavenly God. It's a terrifying great tribulation. It actually appeared in the Martial God tribulation, and there are thirty-six of them! Even a Heavenly God would be annihilated, let alone Ye Chen." A Heavenly God powerhouse trembled in shock.
Among heavenly tribulations, there were also extraordinary, terrifying tribulation thunders. Shattering Gold Thunder was one of them, tinged with golden light, its power more than double that of ordinary heavenly thunder. It could shatter golden bodies and pulverize Heavenly God treasure bodies.
Throughout history, only those with extraordinary potential encountered this kind of thunder tribulation, like several peerless Divine Spirits who had experienced it during their Heavenly God tribulation.
For it to appear in Ye Chen's Martial God tribulation showed just how extraordinary his potential was.
Another Heavenly God powerhouse shook his head. "The Heavenly Dao is fair. It wouldn't descend a terrifying tribulation thunder of the Heavenly God tribulation level. Although this Shattering Gold Thunder is terrifying, it's not as fearsome as the Shattering Gold Thunder of the Heavenly God tribulation. But it can still harm those at the Super Martial God level."
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. What kind of heavenly thunder hadn't he seen before? Even more terrifying heavenly tribulations existed in his previous life, which he had also encountered. Those great tribulations were truly worthy of being called world-ending, virtually unsolvable. The Shattering Gold Thunder before him was child's play in comparison, not worth mentioning.
At this moment, Ye Chen's body circulated with immortal body light. Within him, supreme divine arts roared to life. The Divine King Rebirth Art operated autonomously, rapidly repairing his injuries. This healing divine art was peerless in the world; even a Divine Spirit would marvel at it.
His treasure body repaired, every inch of his physique began to shine with brilliant radiance, crimson-gold and crystalline, supremely divine and sacred.
Within his blood vessels, crimson blood energy surged like raging waves, actually producing deafening roars of blood energy that made hearts tremble.
This divine might was too terrifying, making it hard to believe that a mere human body could reach such a level.
Moreover, amidst the roaring blood energy, dazzling, brilliant crimson light also began to bloom. Every inch of flesh and blood began to radiate even more powerful brilliance. Terrifying roars like crashing waves thundered, making heaven and earth seem to tremble, appearing extremely fearsome and heart-shaking.
The surrounding void trembled completely, constantly distorting, even beginning to collapse and cave in.
Human Yuan Golden Body, Great Perfection!
During the three months of seclusion, he hadn't merely broken through to Martial God. He had also been striving for the Great Perfection of the Human Yuan Golden Body, using the boundless, surging heaven and earth energy of the Sacred Land to baptize his golden body, allowing his blood to completely turn crimson, transforming into supreme Human Yuan true blood.
Now, he was far stronger than his previous golden body. The Great Perfection golden body was no empty boast. Every movement contained the divine might of a Supreme One, invincible. He could even nearly shatter the void and had the qualifications to clash head-on with a Heavenly God Dao Weapon.
A supreme pressure spread out, boundless and far-reaching, causing the expressions of several Ancient Talents to change abruptly—it was no less than theirs.
"No wonder Brother Ye said that three months ago. So that's how it is." Yuan Jiu sighed softly, recalling what Ye Chen had said before entering seclusion. He hadn't fully understood then, but now he finally comprehended.
Ye Chen was truly extraordinary!
Ye Chen took the initiative to attack. Raising his crimson-gold crystalline divine fists, he punched the sky with peerless valor, one fist after another, stirring up fluctuations of the Great Dao throughout the sky. He threw exactly thirty-six punches, all aimed at the thirty-six Shattering Gold Thunders.
Boom rumble rumble—
Heaven and earth hummed, the great earth shook, the divine mountain trembled, and the clouds scattered.
Amidst boundless radiance, the onlookers vaguely saw Ye Chen standing tall in the void, like an invincible war god on a campaign, punching out one fist after another. Each fist was terrifyingly powerful, carrying immense blood energy force. The void was twisted and torn, constantly colliding with the heavenly tribulation descending from the heavens.
Endless divine light exploded, capable of destroying the void and annihilating Super Martial Gods. The protective formation runes of Tian Du Academy fully revived, protecting everyone and the academy.
Ye Chen just kept punching, one fist after another, clashing head-on with the tribulation thunder. His fists were also torn, skin split and flesh torn, white bones exposed, crimson blood droplets splattering and falling. But he also forcefully blasted apart one heavenly thunder after another.
The onlookers witnessed how extraordinary he was, like a divine being, peerless in the world, unmatched, not even the heavenly tribulation could shake him.
Later, the thirty-six Shattering Gold Thunders suddenly transformed into one hundred and eight tribulation thunders tinged with golden light and a trace of purple qi, causing even Heavenly Gods to pale in utter terror.
"The Heaven-Propping Purple Thunder has also appeared! It's a great tribulation thunder rarely seen even in Heavenly God tribulations. It's said that when several Divine Spirit Ancient Ancestors underwent their Divine Spirit great tribulation, it also appeared, but it caused them severe injuries. It's an extremely terrifying great tribulation thunder, famous since ancient times. Now it has appeared too." A Heavenly God powerhouse paled in terror.
The Heaven-Propping Purple Thunder had always been rare, occasionally appearing in Divine Spirit great tribulations. It was terrifying beyond measure, having once blasted entire mountain ranges to pieces. It was a great tribulation that even Divine Spirits had to treat with caution during their tribulation.
It could only be said that Ye Chen was too extraordinary, actually attracting this kind of super great tribulation.
Even Ye Chen's expression changed. He hadn't expected this kind of tribulation thunder to come. He resisted with all his might, his golden body perfected and immortal. He directly condensed divine arts. The Great Dao Treasure Vessel Seal manifested, and even a treasure lotus seal appeared, layering upon layer to wrap him in the innermost core.
Because he sensed the true terror of the Heaven-Propping Purple Thunder. Even someone as strong as him might be directly pierced through, unable to withstand it.
Boom—
The one hundred and eight Heaven-Propping Purple Thunders truly descended, becoming the sole existence between heaven and earth. The pitch-black yet crystalline Great Dao Treasure Vase was directly shattered. The crystalline, translucent treasure lotus was also blasted apart. It shattered all obstacles, directly blasting Ye Chen down onto the earth below. The entire Tian Du Academy shook.
If not for Tian Du Academy's protective formation runes shielding everything at the critical moment, these one hundred and eight Heaven-Propping Purple Thunders might have blasted apart a vast area spanning dozens of miles.
After this, the tribulation clouds in the sky slowly began to disperse, restoring clarity and brightness to this stretch of heaven and earth.
A giant crater had been blasted into the earth, charred black. Faintly, one could still see tiny purple thunderbolts flickering, terrifying destructive aura dispersing, causing alarm.
But everyone focused their attention, wanting to see how Ye Chen was now.
Finally, everyone saw a charred black lump of charcoal deep in the crater, barely recognizable as human-shaped but a pitiful sight. The flesh was charred black, the true appearance long obscured, making people shudder. Could it be that Ye Chen had been blasted to death by the heavenly tribulation?
"Ye Chen..."
"Brother Ye Chen..."
Vivian, Xia Teng, Yang Wushuang, and others were worried. The academy elders stepped forward, even summoning the academy's divine physician and inviting an alchemist. But seeing this scene, they all shook their heads, because they only sensed a faint trace of vitality within the human-shaped charcoal. The flesh and blood likely held no life force anymore; at most, they could only save a remnant of life.
This was worrying. Could it be that the world's most monstrous genius was about to perish from now on?
Thump—
Suddenly, a terrifying heartbeat sound rang out, like a great bell, shaking the earth. Slightly weaker students were sent flying, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their faces filled with terror. What was happening?
Crack—
The charred surface cracked. A powerful life force rapidly appeared and increased at an astonishing speed. Everyone could feel that supreme life aura rippling in all directions.
"This is..." Everyone watched closely.
Finally, the charcoal was completely shattered. From within, a flawless human body emerged, reborn. His body was like a furnace, with boundless blood energy exploding, surging to the heavens, shaking the Nine Heavens.
A pair of terrifying eyes shot out, containing the supreme will of the Great Dao, shocking everyone.
