Chapter 63, Heavenly Tribulation Destroys the Enemy, Cultivation Breakthrough [Eighth Update]
The calamity clouds have fully formed.
The clouds churned, turning from pitch black to deep purple, and then streaks of golden lightning shone through the deep purple.
Lightning continued to gather in the clouds, turning the entire sky into a boiling golden ocean.
The first bolt of lightning struck.
It was a golden bolt of lightning as thick as an arm, which struck straight down from the center of the tribulation clouds and hurtled directly toward Su Ye.
The power contained in the lightning far exceeded the limits that ordinary cultivators of the Four Extremes could withstand, and the air was filled with a scorching atmosphere.
Su Ye raised his right hand, his fingertips entwined with innate Daoist energy.
Dao Jiezhi (a term referring to a type of calamity or tribulation).
He pointed a finger, and the purple Daoist energy at his fingertip collided head-on with the golden lightning.
At that moment, the purple light at his fingertips unfolded like a blooming lotus, each petal a wisp of Daoist essence condensed to its ultimate form.
boom!
Thunder exploded.
Golden lightning streaked across the ground, blasting dozens of fist-sized craters into the earth.
The purple light at Su Ye's fingertip dimmed slightly before shining again.
At the same time, an even more terrifying tribulation of lightning descended from the other side.
That was the tribulation lightning of a middle-aged assassin from the Immortal Realm.
The middle-aged assassin was completely unprepared to deal with the calamity.
He lacked the mental fortitude to transcend tribulation, the means to resist lightning tribulation, and physical strength far exceeding that of others in the same realm.
He was just an assassin, a master of stealth and assassination.
The heavenly tribulation has already locked onto him.
The heavenly tribulations sent down by the will of heaven and earth are indiscriminate.
It doesn't care whether you actively seek tribulation or not; it only cares about your existence.
The Heavenly Tribulation views interfering with others' tribulations as a provocation, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will be greatly enhanced for any intruder.
The tribulation of a half-step great being was already extremely terrifying, but now, due to the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, its power has soared to a level comparable to that of a great being.
boom!
A dark bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky, carrying an aura of annihilation, and struck straight down at the middle-aged assassin.
The middle-aged assassin reacted extremely quickly. He instantly abandoned the idea of assassinating Su Ye, turned around and vanished into the void, attempting to escape the area shrouded by the tribulation clouds.
His spatial escape technique is a secret technique passed down in hell, allowing him to enter the void at a speed 30% faster than other cultivators of the same realm.
But the cause and effect are already determined.
A thicker bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere at the location where he had vanished into the void, forcefully blasting him out of the spatial rift.
The barrier of space was useless in the face of the heavenly tribulation; the lightning directly pierced through the void barrier and struck him precisely.
The middle-aged assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward and crashing heavily into a shattered hill.
Stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the sky.
He struggled to crawl out of the rubble, his gray robe charred and torn, the scorch marks on his exposed skin a shocking sight.
He looked up at the sky, his pupils freezing instantly.
A sea of lightning descended from the sky.
A heavenly tribulation was divided into two parts.
Two seas of lightning intertwined, one golden and one black, turning this world into a giant lightning cage.
The area of the Thunder Sea continued to expand, and all the birds and beasts within dozens of miles had long since fled, leaving only the roar of thunder to fill the heavens and earth.
The middle-aged assassin finally realized his predicament.
Can't escape.
There's no escaping it.
We have no choice but to tough it out.
He, an assassin skilled in stealth and deadly in one strike, was least adept at head-on confrontation.
Moreover, what he is facing now is a heavenly tribulation, a nightmare shared by all cultivators.
The second bolt of lightning struck.
The middle-aged assassin gritted his teeth and endured it.
He summoned an ancient bronze shield from the sea of suffering, its surface engraved with dense defensive Dao patterns.
The lightning struck the shield, causing the ancient bronze shield to tremble violently, and half of the Dao patterns on the shield's surface were shattered.
Before he could even feel sorry for himself, the third bolt of lightning struck.
Then comes the fourth course.
The fifth one.
One heavenly tribulation after another, each more terrifying than the last.
On the other side, Yao Jin and the assassin at the second level of immortality had also been forced to separate.
The old man in black had a grim face and was standing outside the range of the tribulation clouds, not daring to cross the line.
He could only watch helplessly as Su Ye's tribulation enveloped his companions, powerless to do anything about it.
"What ruthless methods."
He looked at the composed figure in the center of the sea of thunder, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Yao Jin stood opposite him, a cold smile playing on her lips.
"You Hell Killer have roamed the Big Dipper for thousands of years; today it's time to taste the bitterness of being devoured."
"Your near-great power will perish here today."
The old man in black had a gloomy expression, and he was already considering retreating.
This mission is probably not going to be completed.
If the news that a junior at the Fourth Extreme Realm used a Heavenly Tribulation to kill a half-step Great Power was to spread, the reputation of Hell would be tarnished.
"Trying to leave?"
Yao Jin sneered, and her immortal light surged.
"Your opponent is me."
She took a step forward, and the celestial light transformed into countless swords of light, sweeping across the sky and slashing towards the old man in black.
The sword array formed by the lightsabers sealed off the void within a radius of a thousand feet. Each lightsaber was inscribed with the Western Emperor's Scripture, and the space trembled slightly wherever the sword tips pointed.
The old man in black had no choice but to turn around and fight back, his death energy condensing into dozens of chains.
The celestial sword array collided with the death energy chains, and the resulting burst of light turned half the sky white-gray.
In the sea of thunder.
Su Ye's situation is much better than that of the middle-aged assassin.
He moved to the rhythm of lightning, each step landing between the lightning bolts.
The Daoist essence of his innate Dao embryo formed a flowing purple light shield around his body, which weakened the lightning tribulation that struck it.
He even had the energy to observe the middle-aged assassin's condition.
The middle-aged assassin struggled to stay afloat not far away. His wounds multiplied, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.
One heavenly tribulation after another struck, constantly eroding the Dao patterns on his physical body with lightning. His secret techniques and protective artifacts were rapidly destroyed in the face of the heavenly tribulations.
The bronze shield shattered.
The protective divine light disappeared.
The second magical artifact offered up in the Sea of Bitterness was shattered into pieces by the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning.
The middle-aged assassin desperately tried to get close to Su Ye, hoping to kill the junior who had put him in such a desperate situation amidst the sea of lightning.
As long as Su Ye is killed, the heavenly tribulation will dissipate, and he can survive.
But the heavenly tribulation did not allow it, leaving him no opening to find an opportunity to strike.
The next moment, the sixth bolt of heavenly lightning struck down; it was a crimson fire bolt, specifically designed to counter evil spirits.
The middle-aged assassin's death aura techniques seemed to have met their match in front of Huo Lei. His protective death aura hissed and burned, leaving dozens of charred holes in his body.
The seventh bolt of lightning followed closely behind; it was a purple lightning dragon, its dragon-shaped thunderbolt opening its massive maw to engulf him.
The middle-aged assassin's screams were drowned out by the thunder.
When the eighth bolt of lightning struck, the middle-aged assassin was already on the verge of death.
But he was, after all, a half-step great being, with an astonishingly tenacious vitality. Even though he was so badly injured, he was still desperately urging his divine power to repair his body.
"you----"
The middle-aged assassin looked at Su Ye, his gaze shifting from fear to resentment.
"Even if you can kill me with heavenly tribulation, will Hell stop there?"
"You think there's only one hell for those who want you dead? You think," he tried to say, but it was too late.
The ninth bolt of heavenly lightning descended.
It was a chaotic lightning tribulation, thicker than the previous eight combined.
The Chaos Tribulation is the most terrifying of all heavenly tribulations. It contains not a single law of power, but the chaotic origin interwoven with myriad paths.
Those struck by the Chaos Lightning Tribulation will have their physical body, consciousness, and soul completely erased.
The chaotic lightning struck his already riddled body.
After the lightning dissipated, all that remained of the middle-aged assassin's original spot was a bottomless, charred crater.
His physical body and soul, everything he existed, were completely wiped out in that chaotic lightning tribulation, leaving not even a trace behind.
A half-step Great Power in the first level of Sendai, he perished with resentment.
Su Ye withdrew his gaze and focused all his attention on the Heavenly Tribulation.
His tribulation continues.
Su Ye countered with the Dao Tribulation Finger, the purple light at his fingertips colliding with the golden lightning, each collision making his Dao essence more refined.
When the last calamity dissipated, the sky returned to its original color.
The last rays of the setting sun shone down again, dyeing the earth a golden-red hue.
Su Ye's divine light was contained, but his aura was no longer comparable to that before his tribulation.
Four poles and two heavens.
His cultivation level has advanced another step.
In the distance, the old man in black watched the middle-aged assassin fall, his face turning extremely grim.
He made a quick decision and stopped entangled with Yao Jin.
Yao Jin's Immortal Light Sword Formation had already left seven or eight wounds on his body. Although none of them were fatal, the accumulated injuries had already affected his movements.
The old man in black formed a hand seal, and his deathly aura exploded, transforming into a dense sea of gray mist.
The sea of mist contained a deadly poison that corroded divine consciousness, forcing Yao Jin to retreat and defend herself.
When the fog cleared, the figure of the old man in black had vanished without a trace.
Only a slowly closing spatial rift and a hoarse echo remained in the void.
"Jade Pool—I've noted this down. We'll settle the interest another day."
Yao Jin did not set off to chase after them.
Her gaze returned to Su Ye, who had safely withstood the lightning tribulation, and her tense face finally relaxed a little.
She flashed to Su Ye's side and looked him up and down with concern in her eyes.
"Is the Holy Son alright?"
Her voice still carried a hint of lingering tension.
"I'm fine."
Su Ye walked up to her, nodded slightly, and said with a faint smile, "I'm sorry to have startled the elder."

Yao Jin glanced at him and remained silent for a long while.
This young man was more decisive than she had imagined.
In the critical moment just now, she had secretly prepared to use the forbidden artifact to wipe out her enemy, but Su Ye did not take the usual path and directly triggered his own heavenly tribulation.
Not everyone dares to do this. It requires not only absolute confidence in one's own strength, but also precise control over the laws of heavenly tribulations.
One breath short, and it would have been a tragic end, with death and eternal damnation.
Yao Jin suddenly remembered something and looked Su Ye up and down again.
"Where's your instrument of enlightenment? I didn't see you use it just now?"
Su Ye flipped his palm, and a nine-inch purple-gold pagoda appeared.
Yao Jin reached out to touch the tower, but as soon as her fingertips got within three inches, a purple-gold ripple automatically spread across the tower, repelling her fingers.
"A spirit protecting its master?"
Yao Jin withdrew her hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"To have such spirituality after only one refinement—this tower's potential is probably greater than I thought."
Su Ye retrieved the small tower back into the Sea of Bitterness and looked in the direction where the old man in black had disappeared.
"Hell has suffered a setback this time, and they probably won't let it go easily."
Yao Jin's eyes turned cold.
"They won't let this go easily?"
"Hmph, neither will Yaochi! Hell dares to attack my Yaochi Holy Son, and someone will naturally settle this score with them."
She paused, then with a flick of her sleeve, a beam of celestial light enveloped the two of them.
"This place is not safe to stay for long. Hell sent two people this time, and they might send more next time."
"Let's go back to Yaochi first."
Su Ye nodded.
Yao Jin's voice carried a hint of coldness that had been suppressed for a long time.
"The reputation of Hell Killer, which has never failed in thousands of years, is broken in your hands today. Those people will not accept this."
"But it's alright, Yaochi will settle this score with them properly later—with interest!"
Two divine rainbows streaked across the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
