Chapter 525: Chapter 511: The Terrifying King Tribulation

Boom!

Heavenly Might surged intensely, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation invoked by Xiao Ye continued to intensify.

At this moment, Xiao Ye could no longer afford to plot against Fan Li because the King Tribulation had become extremely perilous. If he was not careful, he might even perish.

Fan Li frantically fled out of the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the King Tribulation was summoned by Xiao Ye, it primarily targeted him. Once he was out of its range, he was no longer attacked, and Xiao Ye had no time to pay attention to him.

"Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body!"

"King Martial Dominating Body!"

Xiao Ye roared, a Fusion Grotto Heaven rising behind him. Two powerful Combat Techniques operated simultaneously, and the overwhelming might swept out from his body, causing the many spectating disciples to drastically change their expressions.

They could hardly believe that this was the aura emitted by a Martial Artist who had not yet ascended to King Martial Realm; it was simply astonishing.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Heavenly Thunder struck down repeatedly, each time the power multiplied by several levels.

Boom!

Soon after, the twenty-fifth Heavenly Thunder descended, its terrifying light was like worldwide destruction, thunderously crashing down and causing the surrounding void to fracture.

The defenses arranged by Xiao Ye were all shattered, and the residual power of the Heavenly Thunder still caused him to spit blood and his complexion to turn even paler.

"Hehe, Xiao Ye, you little brat, your talent is indeed terrifying. Possessing such strength in the Half-step Void Martial Realm and having invoked such a terrifying King Tribulation, maybe I don’t even need to lift a finger, and you will be killed by your own King Tribulation!"

Beside him, Fan Li took out a Healing Holy Medicine from his Space Ring and consumed it, watching Xiao Ye with a gloating cold laugh.

Hearing Fan Li’s mocking voice, Xiao Ye ignored him, too lazy to retort. Taking advantage of the time before the next King Tribulation brewed, he likewise took out an Elixir from his Space Ring and sat down cross-legged to Cultivate for healing.

For Xiao Ye, surviving the King Tribulation and ascending to King Martial were the most important things.

After ascending to King Martial, his strength would greatly increase, and he could naturally seek revenge on Fan Li. Since there were so many Elders present, he didn’t have to worry that Fan Li would interfere with his tribulation.

Similarly, because the Empress had left a special aura in his body which could prevent detection by powerful figures, he also didn’t need to worry about exposing the secret of his Four Cave Heavens in public.

Moreover, even with the risk of exposure, under Fan Li’s deliberate challenges, he didn’t have the luxury to choose. He had to give his all in this struggle; he must ascend to King Martial and enter the Earth Hall.

This was his foundation in Central State.

Boom!

Finally, the twenty-sixth Heavenly Thunder descended, its blazing light illuminating the entire cosmos. Countless bolts of lightning tore through the heaven, ripping apart the void and crashing down with unparalleled power.

Xiao Ye leapt into the air from the ground, his eyes weaving countless sparks of brilliance, his hair wildly dancing, his blood boiling.

Today, no matter how terrifying the King Tribulation was, nothing could stop his determination to ascend to King Martial!

At this moment, Xiao Ye had pushed his defenses to the extreme. With a flick of his palm, he pulled out a Golden Sword from his Space Ring. Instantly, a boundless King Martial aura surged to the skies, releasing an extremely sharp Sword Light. Xiao Ye was actively attacking the Heavenly Thunder.

This Golden Sword was precisely obtained by Xiao Ye from the Golden Roc King’s Space Ring. It was intended to be crafted into a Royal Artifact, but unfortunately, the Roc King was killed by Xiao Ye before the sword could be completed, and it became Xiao Ye’s weapon.

"This Golden Sword has nearly reached the level of a Royal Artifact!" Fan Li, who had been paying close attention to Xiao Ye, widened his eyes in shock.

To forge a Royal Artifact, one first needs extremely precious materials and then a long period of tempering with King Martial Power to potentially be successful, making Royal Artifacts incredibly rare. Only high-level King Martial Realm Experts can craft them, and their hardness is immense, indestructible even by ordinary King Martial Experts.

Fan Li, an outstanding disciple of the Xuanzi Hall who had shown great experience, was only granted a Royal Artifact after proving himself, so how could he not be shocked to see a new disciple from the Yellow Hall wielding such a weapon?

Boom!

This bolt of Heavenly Thunder was far more powerful than the previous ones, causing Xiao Ye’s Sword Light to shatter and his defenses to be crushed, unable to withstand the might of this Heavenly Thunder.

Fortunately, the Golden Sword was extremely tough and dissolved most of the Heavenly Thunder’s power, causing Xiao Ye to merely turn pale and fall to the ground, panting heavily, without sustaining serious injuries.

The Elders and Disciples of the Four Main Halls across the continent were left speechless for a long time, their hearts pounding furiously. Even the assessments at the Yellow Hall and Heavenly Hall had momentarily halted.

This was already the twenty-seventh Heavenly Thunder, and the King Tribulation showed no signs of dispersing. Instead, it was brewing another wave of attacks.

They knew, their own King Tribulations had involved only around fifteen or sixteen Heavenly Thunders, yet Xiao Ye’s was so terrifying.

In the history of Taiyi Palace, disciples who could conjure more than twenty Heavenly Thunders were extremely rare, each one a peerless Monster, not to mention someone as terrifying as Xiao Ye who could draw forth so many Heavenly Thunders at once.

Moreover, the number of Heavenly Thunders would correlate with the strength exhibited after ascending to King Martial.

They could hardly imagine how terrifying Xiao Ye would be after overcoming the King Tribulation and ascending to King Martial.

At this moment, they all knew that a peerless Monster had emerged in Taiyi Palace again, and this time, whether he could survive or not, he would leave an indelible mark in the history of Taiyi Palace.

"I heard Xiao Ye is from East State, and the Virtual Martial Arts he cultivates must definitely be an Emperor Technique, otherwise it wouldn’t be so terrifying."

"Exactly, I think so too. To attract so many Heavenly Thunders, one must at least cultivate an Emperor-Level Technique, and possess heaven-defying comprehension of the Law Profound Mysteries."

...

Across the continent, as Xiao Ye continued to confront the Heavenly Thunders, many disciples discussed among themselves.

At this moment, Xiao Ye’s unyielding character had inspired them all, proving through his actions that even a new disciple from East State should not be underestimated.

"The thirtieth Heavenly Tribulation, and the last one!" Xiao Ye’s body was covered in blood, his robes charred black, his body lacerated with gruesome cuts, many places exposing chillingly white bones, his injuries extremely severe.

If it were not for the Golden Sword in his hand and his strong will, Xiao Ye would not have been able to hold on until now.
