Chapter 442: Nine Heavenly Tribulations

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Nine Heavenly Tribulations

Qin Chuan’s voice also spread throughout Yandu, like a thunderclap exploding above the ninth heaven, causing countless people to look up at the sky, each face filled with shock.

"You actually dare to refuse, since that’s the case, I grant you death!"

The Guardian of the Eight wore an indifferent expression, his eyes revealing a terrifying murderous intent, looking at Qin Chuan as if he were looking at a dead man.

Qin Chuan sneered, "Grant me death? What are you to use the word ’grant’? If you want to kill me, just try it!"

"Boom!"

Following a loud sound, the boulder beneath Qin Chuan’s feet instantly shattered.

A violent aura erupted from his body, pressing towards the Sovereign Realm.

Only at this moment did a hint of surprise appear in the eyes of the Guardian of the Eight; he knew Qin Chuan was strong, but he had not expected him to be this powerful.

At this moment, the aura bursting from Qin Chuan’s body, although not yet reaching the Sovereign Realm, was only a step away from it.

"No wonder even Qin Li is no match for you; it turns out your cultivation has reached the Half-step Emperor Realm."

The Guardian of the Eight’s eyes coldly fixed on Qin Chuan, his voice ice cold as he spoke.

He himself was a Peak Stage Expert, and so what if Qin Chuan was at the Half-step Emperor Realm?

Although the difference was only half a stage, the gap between these two stages among Martial Artists was like a colossal chasm.

The Guardian of the Eight continued, "I know you must have other tricks up your sleeve, just try using them. Otherwise, once I take action, you will no longer have the chance to make a move."

His eyes still held a hint of disdain; what of a Martial Fiend?

A Martial Fiend who had not fully matured, facing an expert of his realm, could only fall.

"Half-step Emperor Realm?"

The corners of Qin Chuan’s mouth suddenly curled into a strange arc. Following this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, "Break!"

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt, as if from above the ninth heaven, with Qin Chuan’s roar, suddenly streaked across the sky, as if to tear open a rift in the heavens.

"Boom!"

The next second, a staggering aura erupted from Qin Chuan’s body.

Above his head, a swirl of Spiritual Energy directly appeared, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy was suddenly absorbed by it.

Not only that, but Spiritual Energy from all directions furiously surged towards the Spiritual Energy vortex above Qin Chuan’s head.

And this Spiritual Energy, after gathering into the vortex, poured into Qin Chuan’s entire being.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Qin Chuan’s aura suddenly surged violently, as if madly assaulting the barrier from the Emperor Peak Realm to the initial stage of the Sovereign Realm.

The Guardian of the Eight immediately widened his eyes, his face filled with intense disbelief and shock.

"How, how is this possible?"

The Guardian of the Eight could not accept the reality unfolding before him; he felt clear as day Qin Chuan’s aura wildly soaring, charging towards the Sovereign Realm.

He himself was a Peak Stage Expert and had witnessed quite a few Emperor Realm Strong breakthroughs to the Sovereign Realm, yet he had never seen such an astonishing phenomenon caused by someone like Qin Chuan.

The Spiritual Energy vortex above Qin Chuan’s head was something he had never seen, and even heard of.

Not only that, but above Cloud Summit Mountain, there were flashes of lightning and sudden gusts of wind, which were clearly the supernatural phenomena brought about by Qin Chuan’s breakthrough.

"Rumble!"

The next second, a thunderbolt descended from the sky, directly piercing through Qin Chuan’s entire body.

The ground beneath Qin Chuan’s feet turned black in an instant, and countless tiny arcs of electricity danced around him.

"Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Guardian of the Eight’s eyes widened, his face completely astonished.

He certainly knew what the Heavenly Tribulation was. It was said that when a Peak Stage Expert of the Pinnacle of the Emperor Realm was about to break through to the next realm, the Heavenly Tribulation would descend from above the ninth heaven.

In the Ancient Martial World, there had been quite a few Pinnacle of the Emperor Realm experts who had perished under the Heavenly Tribulation because they couldn’t withstand it.

As for the experts at the apex of the Emperor Realm breaking through to the initial stage of the Sovereign Realm, no one had ever experienced the Heavenly Tribulation.

What exactly was going on?

At this moment, Qin Chuan stood firmly at the peak of Cloud Summit Mountain, his face devoid of any fear. Having undergone the baptism of a Heavenly Tribulation, he not only emerged unscathed but had also greatly benefited from it.

Just then, another bolt of lightning appeared above in the sky and suddenly fell towards Qin Chuan.

The Guardian of the Eight widened his eyes, staring intently as the second thunderbolt struck Qin Chuan.

"Boom crack!"

As the second Heavenly Tribulation descended, Qin Chuan resisted it once more. The arcs of electricity around his body increased while a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Guardian of the Eight clenched his fists tightly, suddenly feeling a tinge of regret.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have forced Qin Chuan. Such a prodigy, if not dead, would surely stand at the apex of the Ancient Martial World in the future.

If one day Qin Chuan were to reach the apex of the Ancient Martial World, he would inevitably pay a heavy price for today’s actions.

Thinking of this, the murderous intent in the eyes of the Guardian of the Eight grew even thicker.

The Guardian of the Eight gritted his teeth and said, "It is rumored that the Heavenly Tribulation consists of nine lightning bolts. I really want to see how many tribulations you can endure."

Although he was eager to act now, he was also aware of the fearsome nature of the Heavenly Tribulation. If he intervened forcibly, he might inadvertently draw Qin Chuan’s Heavenly Tribulation onto himself.

If it was only the first two tribulations of this degree of suppression, he could withstand it. But there were seven more tribulations to come, each stronger than the last. Could he withstand them?

Therefore, he did not act rashly.

With his understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation, Qin Chuan could not possibly withstand all nine tribulations.

Four!

This was the Guardian of the Eight’s estimate for Qin Chuan. He guessed that Qin Chuan’s limit to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation was up to the fourth thunderbolt.

While he was lost in thought, the Heavenly Tribulation above the ninth heaven brewed again, and indeed, this time the tribulation was stronger than before.

The Guardian of the Eight already felt a suffocating oppressiveness from the yet-to-fall tribulation.

However, this was only the third tribulation.

"Hmph!"

The Guardian of the Eight’s lips curled up as he said coldly, "Perhaps, this tribulation will be your limit."

"Boom!"

The next second, the third Heavenly Tribulation suddenly descended, striking down on Qin Chuan from above, piercing through his entire body.

"Pfft!"

This time, Qin Chuan spurted blood, his body covered in blood, and numerous charred blood marks appeared on his body.

His aura also instantly weakened a great deal.

Clearly, the third tribulation had severely injured his body.

"Hahahaha..."

The Guardian of the Eight burst into laughter: "Boy, out of the nine tribulations, you’ve barely endured three and already reached your limit. I really want to know how you will withstand the fourth heavenly tribulation. Hahahaha..."

The wilderness echoed with his unrestrained laughter.

Qin Chuan ignored the Guardian of the Eight and looked up at the sky, his face filled with unprecedented solemnity.

Nine Heavenly Tribulations, huh?

This was only the third. How would he withstand the next six?

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly felt a bit lost.
