Chapter 415: Purple Emperor

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Purple Emperor

How could Murong Lingyun have known?

Ji Chen had been suppressing his strength all this time, not allowing it to improve.

He ventured alone in the Yu Realm, conquering city after city, and his cultivation naturally increased through combat, but he kept it under control.

Now, he was finally releasing that desire for a breakthrough, aiming to leap from the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer to the Ninth Layer!

And with this, summon the Celestial Tribulation to deal a fatal blow to Murong Lingyun!

"Buzz!"

The void trembled, a sea of thunder surged, and the relentless force of the tribulation poured down like an invisible wave, layer upon layer, as if forming an invisible mountain, pressing down fiercely.

In a mere blink of an eye, Murong Lingyun felt the terror of this tribulation power, and when he reacted, wanting to retreat immediately, he found it was too late.

Endless pressure descended, as if a giant mountain was crushing his shoulders, pinning him in place, unable to move at all.

"Pfft!"

The sudden terrifying pressure caused Murong Lingyun’s face to change drastically, and he couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

"You led me to Donglin City, and had already made so many preparations beforehand?"

His face looked extremely unpleasant, his gaze fixed on Ji Chen.

"Indeed."

Ji Chen spoke calmly, meeting his gaze, "I predicted you would hide something, and sure enough, I didn’t expect you to possess Half-Step Emperor Realm strength. This once put me at a disadvantage; if not for having many methods, I would have already died by your hands."

"To kill you isn’t easy, but now, under the Celestial Tribulation, all beings are equal; this time, you will truly have no escape."

As his voice fell, Ji Chen joined two fingers and pointed upward.

A flash of thunder shot from his fingertips, directly entering the thunder sea above.

This was his Thunder Law, as if enhancing the power of the Celestial Tribulation.

"Boom..."

With a deafening roar, the thunder sea became even more violent and boiling after Ji Chen’s action, resembling the end of the world.

"Crash!"

Eventually, after a moment of brewing, a terrifying streak of thunder formed, resembling a giant dragon from ancient times, roaring and crashing downward.

"Not good!"

Murong Lingyun’s face changed drastically.

Under the Celestial Tribulation, all beings are equal.

If he stayed too close during Ji Chen’s tribulation, he would inevitably trigger the tribulation, causing its power to multiply.

Panic-stricken, he wanted to escape, but no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from the terrifying confines of the tribulation force.

"Boom!"

Finally, the tribulation descended, infinite purple light dazzling, engulfing the world.

Ji Chen held the Purple Ink Halberd and the Emperor’s Shield in both hands, trying to forcibly resist the tribulation’s attack.

As the tribulation fell, he was sent flying.

Even with the protection of the Emperor’s Shield and Emperor Armor, under such terrifying tribulation power, Ji Chen couldn’t emerge unscathed.

He spat blood profusely, his body retreating, the Emperor Armor cracked from the tribulation, allowing the terrifying tribulation force to seep through. If not for the Hongmeng Body, Ji Chen would have long been annihilated.

Ultimately, he survived, although battered, his life preserved, and his cultivation successfully broke through to the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer.

Nearby, Murong Lingyun also suffered under the tribulation, his armor shattered, his entire being charred, though alive, his injuries were severe, barely clinging to life.

"Swoosh!"

Ji Chen leaped forward, striding toward him.

Amidst black light, the sharp blade of the Purple Ink Halberd pressed directly against Murong Lingyun’s forehead.

"Next time, don’t meet me again in your next life."

The cold voice came from Ji Chen, devoid of any mercy, and the black light pierced Murong Lingyun’s forehead in front of everyone, pinning him in the sky.

"Buzz..."

The surging power gradually calmed, and the dim sky brightened again.

Under the sunlight, Ji Chen’s golden Emperor Armor, though shattered and losing its defensive function, still shone brightly, making him appear extraordinarily outstanding.

"Dead... Dead?"

After a brief silence, the entire scene erupted into an uproar.

Countless people were shocked, gasping in disbelief.

Murong Lingyun’s cold corpse plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground below, eventually buried in the rubble.

Watching this scene unfold before them, no one could help but be surprised.

A powerhouse of Half-Step Emperor Realm had fallen, dying by Ji Chen’s hand.

The final result of this battle was completely unexpected for everyone.

"This child... must not be allowed to grow unchecked!"

Someone spoke, sensing an extreme threat from Ji Chen.

To slay a Half-Step Emperor Realm powerhouse with Nirvana Realm cultivation, if such a person is allowed to grow, he will inevitably become a great enemy of the Yu Realm in the future.

"Is this the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer..."

Yet, in the face of their words, Ji Chen paid no attention.

At this moment, standing in the void, he felt a qualitative change in his strength after successfully breaking through.

Next time, if he encounters another Half-Step Emperor Realm powerhouse like Murong Lingyun again, Ji Chen is confident he will handle it more easily without being forced to reveal all his trump cards.

"Whew..."

He exhaled deeply.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, as he just exhaled, the endless void above began to tremble violently.

Then a terrifying aura descended, accompanied by the Power of the Dao, instantly enveloping this world.

"Hmm?"

Ji Chen’s expression changed, his gaze fixed, "Ancient Emperor Powerhouse?"

From the strength of this aura, he easily sensed that an Ancient Emperor Realm powerhouse was about to arrive.

"Slash!"

Purple light flashed, illuminating the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of all, everyone saw a streak of purple Sword Aura appearing from the depths of space, seemingly locked onto Ji Chen, fiercely slashing down.

"It’s ’Purple Emperor’!"

Someone exclaimed, recognizing the attacker as one of the three Emperor Marshals of the Yu Realm, an invincible Emperor Realm powerhouse of the current era.
