Chapter 657: Chapter 654: Thunder, Come

In the Mortal World, the crowd was also struggling to hold back their laughter.

Seeing this, they didn’t dare to utter any sarcastic remarks or critiques, fearing retaliation.

After all, the Heavenly Dao Realm was uniquely powerful, its might reigning over the Nine Heavens and crushing the other Five Realms.

In their eyes, the Mortal World was no different than a world of mortal ants.

If they were truly angered, it would likely lead to the extermination of clans and the slaughter of entire cities.

After all, not everyone could be as fearless and dauntless as Jiang Jichen, whose audacity knew no bounds.

However, Jiang Jichen’s words sent a wave of satisfaction through the hearts of everyone in the Mortal World.

But even with that satisfaction in their hearts, they didn’t dare discuss it now.

Their very words could reach the heavens.

The Great Powers of the Heavenly Dao Realm possessed astonishing methods; it was entirely possible they could overhear their discussions.

A single careless word could bring disaster upon them.

Trapped amidst the terrifying ultimate attacks of the four Transcenders, Jiang Jichen’s face showed not a trace of fear.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array could only be used once!

Even the four Transcenders could see that. Otherwise, how would they have dared to charge in and attack?

If Jiang Jichen could use it on them again, they would likely be humiliated in front of everyone.

Jiang Jichen, in turn, erupted with his strongest combat power, unleashing every technique he had.

His Holy Sword and Sinking Mountain, reforged in his Seven-Colored Artifact Refining Fire, were now immeasurably more powerful.

His Sword Skill and Saber Technique emerged one after another, clashing against the four.

He also summoned the Soul Refining Banner and the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment at the same time.

Combined with his incomparably tough physical body, Jiang Jichen was as ferocious as a dragon. As long as he drew breath, the fight would not end!

The Demon Phoenix Technique, the Undying Scripture, and the Ancient Source Character Scripture all activated simultaneously, causing endless Anomalies to manifest around Jiang Jichen’s body.

Seven-colored light illuminated the world, golden Spiritual Patterns rose and fell like waves, a rising sun appeared at dawn, lotuses bloomed in the Void, a divine moon rose from the sea, a dragon roamed the great ocean, and a phoenix danced across the Nine Heavens...

All these various Anomalies intertwined, almost causing Jiang Jichen to dissolve into the Dao itself.

The four Transcenders’ cultivation grew higher the more they fought, rising from Middle Saints all the way to the might of Great Saints. They had completely shattered this part of the world, and the Power of Destruction surged like a tidal wave.

As for Jiang Jichen, he never had a chance of killing the four of them from the very beginning.

But he was indestructible!

Therefore, it wasn’t so easy for them to kill him either.

At least, it was nothing like before, when they could kill across realms with a mere point of a finger.

When had they ever been in a battle so fierce and difficult?

The four of them were working together to kill a single Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, yet they had to continuously raise their Cultivation Realms and still couldn’t finish him off quickly.

’Is a Seven-colored Forbidden Spiritual Vein Master really this terrifying?’

’And why do all his techniques feel so... familiar?’

The four Transcenders’ expressions were grim.

By now, they had left Jiang Jichen covered in grievous wounds!

But as long as a single breath remained in him, Jiang Jichen could easily recover and continue fighting.

This was not only a complete loss of face for them, but it was also growing incredibly frustrating.

"We can’t let this go on! Let’s raise our power to its absolute peak and annihilate him!"

Having fought to this point, a chill had already settled in the hearts of the four.

Jiang Jichen was too terrifying; he seemed to possess an immortal body that was impossible to kill.

And Jiang Jichen, his body broken and stained with blood, remained indestructible.

Fighting against the four, the repeated pressure of life and death was pushing him to surpass his limits again and again.

Within the Forest of Lost Souls, the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile watched this scene, utterly shocked to its core.

’The Venerable of the Human Race can actually fight against four Transcenders without being destroyed. He’s too powerful!’

’But the four Transcenders can raise their power to the Supreme Realm. The Venerable of the Human Race still won’t be able to escape death. What a pity.’

The Heaven-Gazing Crocodile sighed helplessly in its heart.

If Jiang Jichen died, it would naturally be buried with him.

By now, Heaven-Gazing Peak had been completely leveled, and in the Void, the Power of Destruction swirled without end.

The auras of the four Transcenders were climbing, reaching the Saint Ninth Layer, the Supreme Realm.

"Jiang Jichen, you can die now!"

The four Transcenders had finally pushed their combat power to its limit, preparing to truly obliterate Jiang Jichen in a single blow.

Their previous attacks could repeatedly inflict heavy damage on Jiang Jichen, but it was difficult to truly kill him.

On one hand, it was because Jiang Jichen was protected by the Heaven and Earth Rules of this world, preventing them from using many of their Ultimate Killing Techniques.

If it were a Middle Saint from the Mortal World attacking, Jiang Jichen would have likely been killed many times over by now.

Now, the only way for the four Transcenders to ignore the suppression of the Mortal World’s rules was to raise their power to the Supreme Realm.

That way, they could... annihilate Jiang Jichen with a point of a finger.

However, ascending to the Supreme Realm carried a great risk. If they were killed in the Mortal World while at the Supreme Realm, their True Bodies in the Heavenly Dao Realm would likely suffer fatal injuries, and their lifespans would be drastically reduced.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Transcenders were unwilling to raise their cultivation to the Supreme Realm, always holding something back.

But this time, the four had encountered a difficult opponent who was incredibly hard to kill.

In the end, they were all forced to ascend to the Saint Ninth Realm.

However, Jiang Jichen was not the least bit flustered. He was perfectly calm.

He gave a cold smile. "I’ve been waiting for you. If you didn’t reach the Supreme Realm, it wouldn’t be right for me to break through!"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the four, who had already raised their combat power to the Saint Ninth Realm, suddenly had a terrible premonition.

At the same time, in the sky above, dark clouds instantly blotted out the sun, swirling with the wind to form a black vortex.

Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled continuously, shaking the world.

"This is... a Thunder Tribulation!"

"Heavens, why does it have such an ancient, primordial aura?"

"And not just that! That Dao of Destruction could turn all creation to ash. It’s too terrifying!"

"Why do I feel like this Thunder Tribulation has the power to crush all other Daos?"

"Just what kind of Thunder Tribulation is this? How can it be so frightening?!"

...

The expressions of all the great figures in the Mortal World changed drastically as they cried out in shock.

As for the four Transcenders, they seemed to have suddenly realized something, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale.

"Jiang Jichen, you’re actually breaking through past the Nascent Soul Realm and undergoing the Saint Tribulation at a time like this? You’re courting death!"

The black-robed old man shouted.

At the same time, facing the thunderclouds gathering in the Void, he felt a tremor of fear in his heart.

"It’s just a mere Saint’s Thunder Tribulation. Do you think it can do anything to me?"

The little boy had lost his earlier childishness. He spoke angrily, his voice filled with the arrogance of age.

"Hmph! Let’s destroy him before the tribulation lightning falls!"

The old woman extended her cane and pointed it at Jiang Jichen from afar.

In an instant, the winds and clouds roiled as a beam of white light from the cane pierced through the Void, stabbing toward Jiang Jichen.

This beam of white light was filled with a terrifying Power of Ultimate Killing, possessing the absolute might to destroy heaven and earth.

If Jiang Jichen were struck by this beam of light, he would surely be annihilated and turned to ash.

The little boy, the young Transcender, and the black-robed old man also held nothing back, blasting out their strongest attacks.

These four attacks could absolutely turn Jiang Jichen and the very space he occupied into nothingness.

But at this moment, Jiang Jichen calmly uttered two words: "Thunder, come!"

As his words fell, the thunder arrived. Jiang Jichen was instantly engulfed by endless lightning.

It was a sea of crimson lightning!

Yet it was more terrifying and astonishing than any other cultivator’s Saint’s Thunder Tribulation.

Its might shook the Nine Heavens!
