Chapter 427: Tempering the Body Through Tribulation

“Crackle!”

The purple thunder disintegrated, transforming into tiny beams of tribulation light, spreading out in all directions through the void, finally vanishing away.

The dark world regained some brightness, and the terrifying might of the tribulation that filled the area somewhat diminished.

“Did he succeed?”

Someone spoke, raising such a question.

But soon, an elder powerhouse provided an answer, “How is that possible? If the Reincarnation Emperor Tribulation could be overcome so easily, there wouldn’t be so few Emperor Realm powerhouses born throughout ancient times.”

“The Emperor Tribulation consists of nine stages, and with each subsequent one, its power will multiply. What Ji Chen just repelled was merely the first stage, and there are still eight more!

“I see…”

Hearing these words, many finally understood.

One couldn’t blame them for their limited knowledge.

That’s because the existence of the Reincarnation Realm is very rare, and in this era, hardly anyone has ever witnessed someone passing through the Reincarnation Emperor Tribulation.

Even figures like Emperor Yan and Emperor Qing stepped into this realm tens of thousands of years ago. Strictly speaking, they are not from this era but trace back to much earlier times.

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

Amidst the discussions, the endlessly roiling sea of clouds above the void surged again, with waves of terrifying tribulation power continuously spreading down, as if to engulf the entire human world.

Countless faces changed, feeling the terrifying aura, as if tens of thousands of mountains were pressing on the void, making breathing difficult for many.

In the distance, everyone from the Yu Realm had already landed on the ground, remaining close to a hundred miles away from Ji Chen, not daring to approach at all.

Even Divine River City, with its Grand Array’s protection, could not completely isolate this terrifying oppressive force. Countless people inside the city were frightened, fearing that the descending thunder tribulation would destroy the City Defense Array, resulting in unknown casualties.

“Crack!”

Amid the rolling thunderous echoes, the second thunder punishment finally took shape.

It resembled a Thunder Dragon from ancient times, letting out a world-shattering roar, piercing through the thick clouds, locking onto Ji Chen, and crashing down.

“Swish!”

Ji Chen stood in mid-air, and in the darkened world, his silhouette appeared very thin from afar.

But in the face of such a world-altering thunder punishment, Ji Chen not only did not retreat, but instead actively charged forward.

“Buzz!”

The space trembled, becoming extremely distorted.

Behind Ji Chen, within the Stellar Law Phenomenon, starlight endlessly emanated, falling all over him, making him appear as a transcendent figure descending into the human world, with a mysterious and dust-free aura.

“Rumble!”

His tightly clenched fist shattered the momentum of the void into a frenzy.

Raging energy scattered in all directions, forming terrifying ripples, erasing the Great Dao and Laws into nothingness.

“Crack!”

And with this punch from Ji Chen, the thunder collapsed once again, unable to pose any threat to him, but instead shattered entirely by his sheer Physical Power.

“It’s terrifying, to challenge the tribulation with one’s body alone; such a person is hard to find throughout ancient times!”

“This is the Hongmeng Body. Just imagine, if he succeeds in the tribulation today, what immense transformation will his strength undergo?”

In Divine River City, though they had long heard of Ji Chen’s Hongmeng Body, witnessing him challenging the tribulation with his body left the crowd in awe.

“This is not a good thing. If he doesn’t use Holy Technique to repel the initial celestials, the tribulations will only grow stronger later, making it impossible for him to withstand,” the Celestial Saint Venerable frowned, thinking Ji Chen shouldn’t be doing this.

Qin Wenchang, however, squinted his eyes, a flash in his gaze, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Could he be using the tribulation to temper his body to break through to a higher realm of the Hongmeng Body?”

“Using tribulation to temper the body?”

Hearing this, the Venerable Supremes couldn’t help but be startled, as if realizing something.

“That’s exceedingly risky; if he fails, it will be a complete disaster,” someone couldn’t help but say.

Qin Wenchang replied, “But if he succeeds, not only will his Cultivation reach the Reincarnation Emperor Realm, but his physical body will become like an emperor, with incredible combat strength!”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

As they debated, the third thunderbolt also took shape in the endless void, vastly more terrifying than the previous two.

The endlessly spreading incredible tribulation power sent the entire audience into a shivering awe.

“Crack!”

As before, in the face of the third tribulation, Ji Chen still did not use any Holy Technique or Emperor’s Art but used pure Physical Power of the Hongmeng Body to resist.

The tribulation was once again destroyed by him, disintegrating completely, eventually dissipating into the world.

“Poof!”

But it must be mentioned, after repeated clashes, Ji Chen couldn’t remain entirely unharmed.

After repelling the third celestial, he finally couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of blood, his face paler than before.

However, due to absorbing the Immortal Format and the strong self-healing capability of the Hongmeng Body, Ji Chen’s injuries were quickly recovering, allowing him more strength to face the next wave of celestial’s descent.

“Rumble!”

“Crack!”

“Rumble!”

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the terrifying thunder roared, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth tribulations descended continuously.

As the tribulations continued, their force became increasingly terrifying.

By now, in every confrontation, Ji Chen was blown far away by the mighty force.

Not only that, but multiple cracks also appeared on his skin’s surface, with golden blood seeping from them.

These tribulations were terrifying, and even a Hongmeng Body couldn’t remain completely unscathed, its physical structure ruptured. If Ji Chen’s physical power wasn’t near the Emperor Realm, he would’ve perished multiple times by the repeated clashes with the heavenly thunder.

For an ordinary person, let alone repelling six tribulations, they would’ve turned to ashes confronting just the first one.

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

As the tribulations brewed, the terrifying might enclosed the void. In everyone’s gaze, the seventh and eighth tribulations also descended continuously.
