Chapter 728: Hell Celestial Tribulation

Under a Celestial Tribulation, everything would be reduced to ash. This Hell Celestial Tribulation was like an apocalyptic storm. Under normal circumstances, it would have been Ye Tianling’s greatest obstacle in his Cultivation.

But right now, it was his greatest trump card for slaughter!

Especially in this part of the World, where Weapons couldn’t unleash their full, peerless power!

Ye Tianling knew if this continued, he would be forced into an incredibly passive position. He’d be suppressed by the relentless, peerless attacks raining down on him until he couldn’t even catch his breath.

If they were in the outside world, Ye Tianling could have naturally used his Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, or perhaps the murderous Power of a Demon God from his Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow.

But by the same token, if they were in the outside world, these peerless Divine Sons and Divine Ladies would also have an endless supply of trump cards. They likely wouldn’t be much weaker than him.

Ye Tianling’s bloodline surged wildly as he instantly unleashed the foundation of his Realm, directly slamming into its barrier.

The Sword Tribulation First Refining Realm immediately loosened, and he erupted toward the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm in an instant.

At that exact moment, the Dao Rhyme Fragments he had absorbed into the space between his eyebrows began to vibrate with incredible intensity.

They vibrated so fast it was as if the Dao Patterns within them were about to explode.

However, Ye Tianling had no idea how to absorb these Dao Rhyme Fragments to achieve his breakthrough.

The aura from these Dao Rhyme Fragments, and the peerless, mysterious Energy within, would obviously be of immense benefit to his breakthrough.

"Mechanical Heart, is there a way?"

Ye Tianling asked the Mechanical Heart.

The Mechanical Heart was governed by a wisp of the Little Dragon Girl’s soul, but it had only retained some of her Spiritual Wisdom. It wasn’t the real Little Dragon Girl.

Even so, the Little Dragon Girl still conducted a detailed analysis of the situation and instantly transmitted the information to Ye Tianling.

"There’s no detailed data yet, but one thing is certain—this Energy should be a highly refined form of Dark Matter Energy."

The Little Dragon Girl’s response left Ye Tianling stunned.

"Dark Matter Energy?"

Ye Tianling was taken aback, though not entirely surprised.

He possessed partial memories from his previous life and had a firm grasp of modern technology from Earth, so he naturally knew what Dark Matter was.

"Yes, Dark Matter Energy... The Power of Laws, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi—they are all forms of Dark Matter Energy.

But ’Dark Matter’ is a very broad term, just as air contains oxygen, nitrogen, and a series of noble gases.

Dark Matter can be broken down in a similar way.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is the most fundamental Energy within Dark Matter.

A more advanced Energy within Dark Matter is the Power of Laws, which is profound yet also common.

An even more refined form is the Elemental Power that constitutes the Power of Laws—in other words, things like these Dao Rhyme Fragments.

Of course, as for how to absorb it, we don’t have a corresponding data system yet. Although the Mechanical Heart has been in contact with various forms of Energy for many years, things like these Dao Rhyme Fragments are a newly emerged type of Dark Matter.

This should be key to the Fusion between the Buried Soul Star Domain and the outside Cosmos, and the resulting changes to the Time Axis..."

In that instant, the Mechanical Heart provided Ye Tianling with immense help. It made him truly realize just how heaven-defying these Dao Rhyme Fragments were.

But by that same token, it was a great shame that he had obtained so many Dao Rhyme Fragments yet couldn’t comprehend them.

As for the data the Mechanical Heart needed, Ye Tianling knew it required a test subject.

And finding a test subject among the many prodigies present would be no problem at all.

Ye Tianling’s gaze swept over the crowd, landing on a man named Qiu Que.

He was a prodigy at the Sword Tribulation Third Refining Realm. His strength was considerable, but he was a level below experts like Ji Yun.

His original Realm was only at Sword Tribulation Second Refining, but when he attacked Ye Tianling, his Realm had instantly reached the Sword Tribulation Third Refining Realm.

Ye Tianling’s body shuddered. The moment he began to break through his Realm, the Celestial Tribulation had already started to gather.

The Celestial Tribulation gathering in this place was so terrifying that the entire world grew dark. It became filled with an eerie, sinister, savage, violent, and utterly dreadful presence.

The once-resplendent altar now appeared bleak and utterly desolate, as if it had become extremely dim and lusterless.

The drastic change in Heaven and Earth caught the attention of all the Cultivators present.

The coordinated siege against Ye Tianling slackened slightly.

But at that moment, Ji Yun, Qianyu, Duan Cangyue, and the others all attacked, charging violently toward Ye Tianling once more.

They had realized what Ye Tianling was about to do—undergo a Tribulation!

A Hell Celestial Tribulation!

Once the Hell Celestial Tribulation appeared, it meant one of two things: either Ye Tianling had absorbed the Dao Rhyme Fragments, or he was going to forcibly trigger the Tribulation, summoning it to blast them all to death!

No one there was a fool. Ye Tianling’s intentions were naturally exposed in an instant.

Ye Tianling was already this difficult to handle at the Sword Tribulation First Refining Realm. If he were to advance even further, how could they possibly stop him?

All the prodigies knew this was an opportunity.

At this point, the thirty or so Cultivators who had been watching from the sidelines, itching for a fight, also understood they couldn’t escape this.

If they didn’t act now, when would they?

Meanwhile, Chu Shaocheng and his group, upon sensing the change in Heaven and Earth, immediately continued to retreat, no longer standing by to watch.

A Hell Celestial Tribulation either doesn’t appear at all, or, once it does, its difficulty increases exponentially if other Cultivators "help" with it.

And how difficult was a Hell Celestial Tribulation?

The answer was self-evident. After all, how could a normal Celestial Tribulation possibly compare to one named after Hell itself?

Such a Tribulation was a death trap with no chance of survival!

For Ye Tianling to undergo a Hell Celestial Tribulation under these circumstances meant he intended to kill both himself and all the other prodigies.

Chu Shaocheng didn’t get involved in this mess. The moment the destructive aura of Hell began to spread, he had already retreated.

Only after retreating another thirty thousand meters did Chu Shaocheng finally stop Sensing the heart-pounding, destructive aura of Hell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

’He seems a little familiar... Ye Tianling... I think he’s from the Soul Burial Starry Sky? From Qingyang Town?’

’Perhaps my understanding of the resource Fusion between the two Worlds is still lacking. But no matter what, he shouldn’t die, right?’

Chu Shaocheng murmured to himself.

Then, his gaze grew brighter.

’If you trigger the Hell Celestial Tribulation, all fifty-three of these prodigies will be caught within its range. How can you possibly survive? Perhaps my Celestial Demon Ancient Tripod Cauldron can help you this once... but are you worth helping? What exactly is our relationship in the Soul Burial Starry Sky? Why can’t I stop myself from wanting to help you?’

Chu Shaocheng was still hesitant. These complicated Emotions assailed his Dao Heart even further, but he calmly suppressed the agitation and chose to continue watching in silence.
