Chapter 666: Five Three One Heavenly Tribulation

Above the celestial dome, boundless dark clouds converged and hovered above Jiang Chen, who had just left the battlefield of witches and demons.

Rumble!

Terrifying thunder flickered, as if it would pour down at any time and engulf Jiang Chen.

"This is...Heavenly Tribulation!"

"What’s going on, why would Heavenly Tribulation come unprovoked?"

Looking up at the dark clouds above his head, Jiang Chen looked quite astonished. This phenomenon was clearly a sign of Heavenly Tribulation. But why would it come for him without reason?

As Jiang Chen stood in surprise, the Boundless Bowl inside his body suddenly started to vibrate violently.

Immediately, the Boundless Bowl turned into a stream of starlight and rushed out of his body. It placed itself in the void, alone facing the Thunder Tribulation descending from above.

This Heavenly Tribulation was his!

Every item that defies nature must undergo the test of Heavenly Dao. Only by surviving the test can it qualify to descend to the world.

"I forgot, Divine Artifacts also have Tribulation Number. However, this Heavenly Tribulation seems off. The might of the heavens is too grand. It is more like divine punishment!"

Upon sensing the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, Jiang Chen began to frown. After the revelation of the Boundless Bowl, the Heavenly Tribulation underwent changes, the might of the heavens became more prosperous, and there is a trend towards changing into divine punishment.

Heavenly Tribulation and divine punishment are only one word apart, but they are worlds apart in how they are dealt with. One is a test given by Heaven, the other is Heaven’s wrath. Their power is not comparable.

"What’s happening?"

Feeling bewildered, Jiang Chen stared at the Boundless Bowl for a long time before finally discerning the problem.

It’s the death aura!

The death aura that the Boundless Bowl carried was too intense. It was sensed by Heavenly Dao which caused the Heavenly Tribulation to mutate and show signs of transitioning into divine punishment.

"Who would’ve known there would be such a drawback from devouring the corpses of the Demon Clan?"

The Boundless Bowl’s death aura, without a doubt, came from the Demon Clan corpses that it devoured.

Becoming sentient in death, clearly it had to reach a very high concentration of death aura in order to then give birth to new life. From death to life, how strong must the death aura be?

Now, the new life that was conceived had been killed by Jiang Chen. The remaining death aura was then devoured by the Boundless Bowl. Unable to digest it, the death aura naturally gathered on him, causing adverse changes.

Boom!

As Jiang Chen was pondering, thunder from the Heavenly Tribulation began to descend from above. He saw golden Innate Divine Thunder fall from the sky, and it ruthlessly bombarded the Boundless Bowl.

However, even though heavenly thunder was strong, it still couldn’t handle the Boundless Bowl. After all, it’s a powerful Divine Artifact that could be on par with Innate Dao Sovereign. How can it be shaken by heavenly thunder?

Boom!

When the heavenly thunder fell, it did not harm the Boundless Bowl in the slightest. On the contrary, it helped it to dissipate the death air on its body.

One can see that every time the heavenly thunder struck the Boundless Bowl, some of the death aura would fade away.

"It seems the Heavenly Dao is not here to test, but intentionally came to help."

Waving his hand to disperse the electric arc that floated over, Jiang Chen silently grumbled.

Remembering back when he was crossing the tribulation, what kind of treatment did he receive? Three hundred sixty-five Cycle Heavenly Divine Thunders fell consecutively. If it weren’t for the protection of the Creation Green Lotus, he would have died under the Heavenly Tribulation long ago.

During the Boundless Bowl’s tribulation, a total of seven hundred twenty heavenly thunders fell, and in less than a day, they had all descended. After the heavenly thunder passed, the dark clouds immediately dissipated, announcing the end of this Thunder Tribulation.

Jiang Chen’s previous worries, about Heavenly Tribulation turning into divine punishment, did not occur. The Boundless Bowl easily passed the Heavenly Dao’s test.

After the Heavenly Tribulation, the starlight blooming on the Boundless Bowl was even more brilliant. On its colorless and transparent body, countless starlights were circulating, looking like shooting stars.

At this moment, specks of light rose from the Boundless Bowl and rushed into the Star Realm that he had opened up inside him with a whoosh.

"Innate True Spirit!"

Jiang Chen recognized those lights. They were the basis of life, the Innate True Spirit.

"Where did all these Innate True Spirit come from?" Silently operating the Innate Eight Diagrams, Jiang Chen began to deduce the origin of these Innate True Spirits.

Soon, he found the answer.

The Demon Clan corpses devoured by the Boundless Bowl, many of them had remnants of True Spirit fragments within their bodies. At this moment, with the death aura being purified by the heavenly thunder, these True Spirit fragments lost their restraints and began to return to their Original Source, transforming into countless Innate True Spirit.

The Innate True Spirit is the foundation for deriving life. At this moment, with so many Innate True Spirits pouring into the Star Realm simultaneously, it likely won’t be long before the Star Realm gives birth to a large number of beings with extraordinary talents.

"Indeed, this does me a great favor."

After understanding the whole story, a satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. Once these beings are born, they can provide him with a large amount of incense Willpower.

This is extremely important for the Jiang Chen who is currently short of Willpower.

Furthermore, after undergoing the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation, the power of the Boundless Bowl became even more stable. In a short hundred years or a long thousand years, the Boundless Star Gods sleeping in the Star Realm will awaken.

At that time, it will be the moment for the Boundless Bowl to ascend into the Dao Sovereign Divine Artifact.

"Things are done here, it’s time to leave."

Storing the Boundless Bowl with a flip of his hand, Jiang Chen’s figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already back on Cang Mountain.

Rumble!

As soon as he returned to Cang Mountain, before Jiang Chen had any chance to take action, a powerful force attacked him from the void.

"Who?"

Feeling shocked, Jiang Chen threw out a palm in response. The Innate air surged and turned into a huge palm print to counter that power.

At the same time, in Jiang Chen’s chest, the Five Elements rose up and condensed above his head, forming a large, five-colored canopy. It hung down with millions of Innate Five Elements Qi strands, shielding him.

Being attacked in his own home, one can imagine the anger in Jiang Chen’s heart. He was ready to harness the Original Source power of Cang Mountain to teach the aggressor a lesson.

But before he could take action, the assailant had already revealed himself and threw a punch at him.

Seeing the person’s face, Jiang Chen turned off the Cang Mountain’s Original Source, threw a punch of his own, and said with a laugh, "Ancestor, what an unusual way you have of greeting!"

Across from Jiang Chen, Jiang Xuan faintly smiled and said, "Brat, stop wasting words, let me try out your strength."

That’s right, the person was none other than Jiang Chen’s ancestor, Jiang Xuan Chengtian Dao Sovereign.

Jiang Chen’s speed of ascension was just too fast. Jiang Xuan didn’t feel at ease, fearing that he had used some taboo method to forcibly raise his own cultivation.

Therefore, he decided to personally test Jiang Chen’s strength to determine his current condition.

It wasn’t surprising that Jiang Xuan was so worried. Jiang Chen’s progress was just too terrifying. He vividly remembered that the last time he saw Jiang Chen, he was about to enter the realm of Blood Rebirth.

Yet in just over ten years, Jiang Chen not only mastered the realm of Blood Rebirth, but he also achieved advanced Ancient Martial Arts.

This pace of cultivation was the fastest since the birth of Ancient Martial Arts.

The undisputed number one!

It was normal for Jiang Xuan to suspect something was off.

ps: I recently thought of a good part-time job.

I could totally beg during the day and write at night. So, can you tell me where the best place to beg is?
