Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Divine Punishment Tribulation

Boom—

The sun, with a diameter of tens of thousands of feet, pressed down on the Dust Brush relentlessly, and endless scorching winds swept in all directions, like long dragons rampaging through the void, lighting up the whole world with the sun’s true fire, blindingly bright to the eyes.

Countless pieces of stone flew up into the air, growing hotter and redder the higher they soared.

Patriarch Bodhi clenched his teeth and persisted, even though half of the white hairs on his Dust Brush had already been burned away, he refused to give up.

If he dodged, the common people below would suffer.

Patriarch Bodhi had a segment of memories about surviving in the Xuandang great world implanted by the system, and he harboured certain feelings for the Xuandang great world.

Moreover, he cared deeply for the common people and could not bear to see a thriving great world turn into hell.

"Break for me!"

From afar, Xing Tian’s angry shout was heard, as a crescent of Axe Energy, three thousand feet in length, streaked through the sky and struck the sun, causing the sun’s true fire to surge, which unfortunately had no effect on the sun itself.

Donghuang Taiyi glanced over, his face full of contempt, and mocked, "Do you also dare to vie with the bright moon for glory with such a meager light?"

Xing Tian gritted his teeth in anger, and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s face also looked grim on the other side.

He, who prided himself as invincible under heaven, now didn’t even qualify to join the battle, which was undoubtedly the greatest irony for him.

Whoosh—

Nine fire dragons suddenly roared and charged, startling Xing Tian and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny into looking back, only to see Perfected Person Taiyi holding a fire-red artifact resembling a gold basin in one hand as he flew toward them.

This was the Nine Dragon God Fire Cover!

Resembling a half basin in appearance, its rim was plated with nine dragon heads, and anyone covered by it would be engulfed by the burning Samadhi Real Fire; Her Highness Shiji had been burnt alive by the Nine Dragon God Fire Cover.

The nine fire dragons became five thousand feet long, roaring as they collided with the sun, shaking it intensely.

Donghuang Taiyi, surprised, turned his head and questioned in doubt, "Half-step into the sage realm, who are you?"

Suppressing Patriarch Bodhi, his own rationality slowly returned, and seeing another powerful person appear, he thought it was a secluded expert who could not stand by and came out to stop him.

Donghuang Taiyi, carrying the Ziwei Emperor Star’s destiny, was born an Emperor, and seeing a strong person, he could not help but want to win them over.

"My name is Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi, will you not cease your actions? Do you wish to destroy this great world?"

Perfected Person Taiyi said in a deep voice, realizing that Donghuang Taiyi apparently had no recollection of his past life.

Thinking of this, he became even more worried.

If Donghuang Taiyi had the memories of his past life, he might have given him face due to fear of Primordial Lord of Heaven.

Unfortunately, he was thinking too much.

"Cease? No one can make this Emperor cease!"

Donghuang Taiyi said expressionlessly, and as he spoke, he smashed the Chaos Clock in his hand onto the sun, a terrifying force causing Patriarch Bodhi’s face to change drastically, his arms bending, the speed of his descent accelerating.

The nine fire dragons that had collided with the sun were also scattered, making Taiyi’s face appear exceedingly ugly.

In front of Donghuang Taiyi, his attacks were insignificant, delivering a serious blow to him.

Descending tens of thousands of meters, the firelight illuminated the earth; the once green plains had now turned into a desolate ruin, with heaps of rubble and crisscrossed ravines. It seemed as if countless fierce beasts were crouching on the ground, sending chills down one’s spine.

Because of the previous battle, Juetian Plain had sunk at least five thousand meters, no trace of flowers or grass could be seen, only the corpses that had been caught in the crossfire.

Under the pressure of the divine presence of the sun, Patriarch Bodhi soon reached the ground, an unimaginable terrifying force causing the pile of stones beneath his feet to burst apart instantly, the earth’s surface collapsing once again.

Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes were filled with pleasure; he was intentionally torturing Patriarch Bodhi, wanting him to feel death creeping closer step by step.

In the distance, Qin Jun was anxiously observing the battle while crossing tribulation.

He didn’t notice that the thunderclouds above him were changing. Vaguely, it seemed like a divine figure stood atop the clouds.

"Be careful!"

Ji Yongsheng’s voice suddenly exploded in Qin Jun’s mind, startling him into subconsciously looking up, only to see countless spears formed from heavenly thunder plunging toward him like torrential rain.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

The Extreme Flame Demon God was directly penetrated by the spears of heavenly thunder. Three of them even pierced through Qin Jun’s chest. Blood splattered out and Qin Jun’s pupils dilated. This shocked Sun Wukong and the others nearby into exclaiming.

"Your Majesty!"

"What kind of heavenly tribulation is this?"

"Oh no! It’s the fearsome Divine Punishment Tribulation among the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Tribulations!"

"Divine Punishment Tribulation?"

Yang Jian, the Golden Light Saintess, Shi Gandang, and Demon King of Peng-Bird were greatly shocked. Guiguzi, looking at the figure above the clouds, said gravely, "That’s right! It’s the Divine Punishment Tribulation. I’ve only heard of it but never witnessed it with my own eyes."

The Black Butterfly Fairy clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes anxiously fixed on Qin Jun. She did not panic, believing that Qin Jun could survive it.

Soon, Qin Jun’s gaze became fierce again. He looked up at the divine figure above the sea of clouds, his expression turning ferocious.

"This is the Divine Punishment Tribulation, only the peerless prodigies can draw such a tribulation. If one crosses it, they would rise high into the sky like a dragon!"

Ji Yongsheng said with a smile, not at all worried that Qin Jun couldn’t endure it.

Qin Jun had already changed from the past. His divine powers, bloodlines, and fruits of the Dao were extraordinary. Even Ji Yongsheng couldn’t help but sigh "Freak of nature!" whenever he thought about it.

"Roar——"

The Extreme Flame Demon God roared, and Samadhi Real Fire quickly solidified, preventing the heavenly thunder spears from piercing it any further.

Qin Jun’s figure shook. He leaped up and flew towards the divine figure above the sea of clouds.

Sun Wukong and the others alternately looked at him and then at Patriarch Bodhi in the distance.

At the moment, Patriarch Bodhi was being pressed down continuously, with the ground cracking beneath him. The massive sun star completely obscured him from view, making it impossible to see his condition.

From a distance, half of the sun star had already sunk into the ground, sinking five thousand zhang down, which spelled trouble.

"It’s over..."

The Nether Emperor of Jiuyou muttered as he looked at the huge sun star on the horizon. Even from such a distance, he could feel the terrifying power within the sun star. If it exploded, the entire Xuandang Great World would likely be destroyed, leaving him no chance of survival.

The Sword Master, Yan Emperor, and other lords were also drenched in cold sweat.

Randeng couldn’t help but burst into curses. "I knew it! Donghuang Taiyi, that madman! Why does he always like to play games that end in mutual destruction?"

If the Xuandang Great World exploded, Donghuang Taiyi would likely be finished, so Randeng couldn’t understand Donghuang Taiyi’s actions.

"Roar——"

Just then, a roar loud enough to burst eardrums rang out, drowning out all other sounds in the world.

The Nether Emperor of Jiuyou and the other lords quickly turned their heads, their eyes widening the next second, nearly scared out of their wits.

They saw a gigantic tiger-shaped beast with pitch-black fur rushing from the dark void. It had wings, stood a thousand zhang at the shoulder, and was three thousand zhang long. Its black mane glistened like steel needles, and its blood-red eyes emitted endless killing intent.

A single roar shattered the heavens, and its flapping wings withered a myriad of bones!

"That is... Qiongqi!"

Guiguzi exclaimed, as if witnessing a nightmare. At the mention of Qiongqi, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, the Golden Light Saintess, Shi Gandang, Demon King of Peng-Bird, as well as Randeng and the Drought in the distance, all widened their eyes.
