Chapter 567: Chapter 279: Alarming the Supreme, Refining Heavenly Punishment!

Amidst the tribulation cloud, the black figure, whose face is unclear, continues to elevate its aura!

Its left hand is placed behind its back, while the black power of heavenly punishment continuously gathers in the palm of its right hand!

Even the tribulation cloud is gradually shrinking due to the gathering of the heavenly tribulation power, being absorbed and transformed into energy for that heavenly punishment power.

"What is this thing..."

"The recorded heavenly tribulation is absolutely not like this!"

"The appearance of fierce beast anomalies is already beyond comprehension, but now why does a humanoid figure appear?"

"Moreover, the tribulation lightning gathered in its hand, no... it no longer resembles tribulation lightning. The tribulation lightning earlier was all purple, yet that figure’s hand holds black lightning."

"Its power is not comparable to the previous purple thunder."

"Even I, at the Eighth Grade Heavenly Gate Realm, can feel that just a trace of that black tribulation lightning would turn one into dust, resulting in death and the destruction of the Tao."

"Saint Gu... can he really withstand this?"

"This can no longer be considered a heavenly tribulation; it is rather a rejection by the heavens and earth!"

Initially full of confidence in Gu Changge, the numerous great powers of the Northern Domain now feel tense watching the black figure continually gathering the power of heavenly punishment, as if they are the ones facing the tribulation, not Gu Changge.

They were hoping to enhance their Tao Heart by observing Saint Gu’s tribulation.

Yet after today, these people might face issues with their Tao Hearts...

Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, is it really something they can overcome?

Perhaps it’s better to live a stable life within the Ninth Grade, rather than breaking through to the Sage Realm. If a heavenly tribulation is drawn, with even a tenth of the power of Gu Changge’s heavenly tribulation, the outcome would be inevitable death!

"Heavenly punishment..."

"It’s rumored that if a being commits enough evil deeds, it will draw interference from the heavens and earth to annihilate them."

"To reach the level that triggers heavenly punishment, wiping out a few cities would certainly not suffice. At least... one must annihilate the living beings of an entire domain, perhaps then it would be enough. It’s rumored that back then the Western Regions were nearly exterminated by a demonized True Monarch, who ultimately drew heavenly punishment and faced death and the annihilation of the Tao."

"But this boy... he hasn’t killed many people?"

"Even counting those from the Central State Wu Family and all the demon beasts, the creatures killed by him barely exceed a hundred, much less than what I’ve done."

"How could he possibly draw heavenly punishment!?"

The Gu Family Ancestor, looking at the unusual tribulation lightning, or rather heavenly punishment power, is also filled with shock.

This shouldn’t be!

No... no, that’s not right.

Heavenly punishment annihilates beings simply because they reach a state intolerable by the heavens and earth.

That True Monarch realm demon cultivator drew heavenly punishment due to slaughtering too many beings, disrupting the balance between the heavens and earth.

But Gu Changge...

He is likely drawing it because his Root Bone and qualifications are too high, to an extent defying the heavens!

Equally, he is intolerable to the heavens!

Thus, the ten-dead-no-alive heavenly punishment descends!

Desiring to annihilate him here!

Yet...

Will this boy truly be annihilated by heavenly punishment?

If it were anyone else, even a Land Immortal Realm, drawing heavenly punishment, I wouldn’t doubt their fate being ten-dead-no-alive!

But this boy, he’s different...

He’s already created too many surprises, too many incredible things; the heavenly punishment indeed might not extinguish his vitality!

For a moment, Gu Haitang’s gaze is tightly fixed on that figure.

Once the heavenly punishment descends, regardless of the result, as soon as the heavenly tribulation aura dissipates, he will immediately rush forward.

As long as Gu Changge has a breath left, he can ensure his survival with spiritual energy!

He feels even this is not safe enough, and immediately takes out his Honorary Supreme Token.

He conveys a message to the Sword Sect: "The Saint of this sect, our family’s Young Master Changge, is drawing heavenly punishment outside the Northern Territory Imperial City. I ask Supreme Qinglian to prepare some life-saving elixirs and hurry over!"

This token can directly communicate with Sword Sect Master Wu Hen Monarch.

I believe once this message is conveyed, the Sect Master will also react immediately.

With Supreme Qinglian’s Land Immortal Realm strength, coming from the Central State to this place shouldn’t take long, at most a dozen breaths of time will suffice.

As long as Gu Changge can retain a breath under this heavenly punishment, there will be no problem!

However, seeing the tribulation cloud now reduced to less than thirty percent of its original size, the heavenly punishment seems almost fully formed, and will most likely descend within a few breaths!

....

[Sword Sect]

Wu Hen Monarch, who is resting with his eyes closed, feels the token slightly move.

To be able to contact him directly, it must be something important.

Without delay, he checks the message contents.

At a glance, his pupils suddenly contract, and he stands up in shock!

"Heavenly punishment!?"

While exclaiming, his figure has already disappeared from the seclusion room, reappearing in the crucial area of Sword Mountain.

Ordinarily, even as Sect Master, he has to notify before meeting the Supreme Elder.

But with such urgency, who would mind such formalities!

"Wu Hen boy, becoming more unruly."

"Already a True Monarch Realm Perfection, yet still so flustered and lacking composure."

"Is the Sword Sect going to perish, or is the Central State going to collapse?"

Regarding Wu Hen Monarch’s sudden appearance, Ye Qing opens his eyes and frowns, then starts chastising.

"The... the heavens are truly about to collapse!"

"I implore the Supreme Elder to quickly head to the Northern Territory Imperial City!"

Wu Hen Monarch doesn’t even have time for formalities and speaks directly.

"You want to command me? Even if..." Ye Qing instinctively starts to speak, intending to rise and kick him out, but Wu Hen Monarch continues, "That boy Gu Changge has drawn heavenly punishment!"
