Chapter 234 - 234: Tribulation Transcendence
“Stop!”
Just as Elder Xiong was being completely suppressed, another elder of the Infinite Demon Sect rushed over and struck out with his palm from afar. This palm covered a radius of 100 miles, with every finger like a heavenly pillar, giving off an oppressive aura.
“Are you in such a hurry to die?” Su Chen glanced at the elder indifferently. As his voice fell, he formed a hand seal, preparing to counterattack. But just as he was about to meet the attack, a white figure suddenly appeared before him.
“Let me help you!” Ye Ruxue slowly turned, smiling gently. In just an instant, heaven and earth lost color, the sun and moon dimmed. Everything in the world seemed insignificant before this smile as if only her beauty remained.
Su Chen had helped Ye Ruxue several times. She had longed for a chance to showcase her talents before him. Now, this opportunity had finally arrived! She could finally help Su Chen!
Raising her fair hand, a beam of divine light descended from the sky. Ye Ruxue then floated over to the incoming elder.
“Humph! A mere Spirit Sea Realm cultivator dares to stop me?”
The elder snorted disdainfully. If it was Su Chen blocking him, that would be one thing. After all, Su Chen was a famous expert. But now, what was going on with his fiancee trying to block him? She was only at the peak stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, not even Nirvana Realm. Where did she get the courage to attack him? She was courting death!
“Spirit Sea Realm?” Ye Ruxue was surrounded by the Four Spirit Sacred Body phenomena, her clothes fluttering and her hair dancing. Mockery flashed across her exquisite face. “Who told you I’m at the Spirit Sea Realm?”
A melodious voice rang out between heaven and earth. The previously cloudless sky suddenly gathered vast dark clouds, covering an area of hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye. The oppressive weight brought by the heavenly tribulation almost made it hard to breathe.
“This… What’s happening?” The elder’s expression changed drastically, his black pupils contracting as he looked up at the clouds.
“This is… the Nirvana Tribulation! You actually dare transcend tribulation in the battlefield of so many Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses!”
His voice trembled. Most who entered these ruins were at the Quasi-Saint Realm, the rest the Nirvana Realm. Only a few were at the Spirit Sea Realm, and cultivators like Qin Hao, who were at the God Altar Realm, were extremely rare, almost never seen.
Ye Ruxue could transcend her tribulation anywhere, but not here!
There were too many Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses. Whenever a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse got involved, the Nirvana Tribulation could turn into a Saint Tribulation in an instant! And the range would be even wider! No one knew how many Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses were within a radius of thousands of miles, but if over ten, the might of the Saint Tribulation would reach unprecedented levels. By then, none who entered these ruins would leave alive. All would perish here!
“You are crazy! You lunatic!” The elder shouted in horror before turning to flee without hesitation. He had only come to save his senior brother, never intending to die here. If Ye Ruxue dragged him into the heavenly tribulation, he would likely die given his current strength! Thinking of this, he fled even faster.
“Su Chen! Are you determined to die with me in this heavenly tribulation?” Elder Xiong roared loudly. Ye Ruxue’s sudden transcendence had drawn everyone’s attention. The battles ceased as all fled far away, leaving only Su Chen and Elder Xiong within range. Once it fell, they would be doomed!
Su Chen’s talent was stunning but he had just broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. He had little resistance against a Saint Tribulation. Elder Xiong, Su Chen, and Ye Ruxue would surely perish.
Elder Xiong tried escaping several times but Su Chen stopped him each time. The Azure Dragon Sword in Su Chen’s hand was heavy as a mountain, every strike carrying astonishing might that heavily injured Elder Xiong. He never imagined his proud body refinement method would be defeated by Su Chen today.
“I’m at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm! In fifteen minutes, the heavenly tribulation will fall. The Nirvana Tribulation will become a Saint Tribulation! Su Chen, think carefully. You’ve only just broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm!” Elder Xiong roared, no longer able to remain calm.
He was truly afraid now. Su Chen’s strength exceeded his imagination, and he clearly had a superior body refinement cultivation method. Along with his divine body, Su Chen’s physical power could now contend with his, perhaps even exceeding him greatly.
“Fifteen minutes?” Su Chen murmured, but his hands did not cease moving as the Azure Dragon Sword remained valiant. “It’s enough!”
As his loud shout rang out, his sword aura sliced through the void towards Elder Xiong once more.
“How arrogant!” Elder Xiong roared, his black sword slashing out to split the sky. He no longer dared to hold back anything. Only by driving back Su Chen could he leave alive.
Buzz…
Su Chen did not dodge, his expression calm as he activated the Azure Dragon Sword with his Nine Transformations Golden Body Art.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded. Elder Xiong’s eyes widened in anger as he stared at his black sword in disbelief. At the clash point, it was slowly breaking, cracks visibly spreading across its length.
“Oh no!”
Elder Xiong was shocked. His middle-grade Dao weapon could not match Su Chen’s low-grade one!
Bang!
His black sword transformed into a radiant divine light that shot in all directions. Elder Xiong quickly retreated but a sword aura was even faster. Bang!
Before he could react, the sword aura descended, drowning Elder Xiong within.
“Su Chen! I will fight you to the death! My Infinite Demon Sect will fight you to the death!” Elder Xiong shouted, voice filled with endless fury.
Throughout his life, he had experienced losses before, but losing to a rising star like this left a sense of unease in his heart. Moreover, this was the first time he had lost so miserably!
If he couldn’t defeat Su Chen head-on or kill him, then his entire life would be overshadowed.. Even worse, Su Chen could become his inner demon!
