Chapter 2651: Chapter 2625: Little Gold Saves the Day (Second Update)
There’s no need to argue with a dead man over mere words.
“Tsk tsk, the Great Void Destructive Thunder Tribulation. Even if I don’t make a move, under the wrath of the Heavenly Dao, you’re doomed to die anyway. However, considering you might possess the identity of the Samsara Master, it may be worth my effort to reap some merit from your demise.”
Elder Tianmu spoke leisurely, but what happened next completely defied his expectations…
A sword emanating overwhelming demonic light appeared in Ye Chen’s intact right hand. At the exact moment the fifth tribulation descended, Ye Chen unleashed a strike, directly targeting Elder Tianmu!
“Thunder Desolate Dominator Star Sword!”
That strike, at first glance, seemed harmless, like a gentle breeze brushing across one’s face, devoid of any killing intent. Yet, in the next moment, it underwent an ultimate transformation, as inescapable as a maggot clinging to bone, as persistent as a shadow—impossible to evade!
Elder Tianmu first showed shock, then fury, and finally, terror!
Because of the unique nature of this strike, he failed to respond the moment the sword was unleashed. By the time he realized the imminent danger, it was already too late to employ his trump cards or techniques…
The sword light arrived silently, piercing through Elder Tianmu’s body before reappearing in the space behind him. Only then did brilliant sword radiance erupt, dispersing the darkness beneath the tribulation clouds.
Elder Tianmu stood there quietly, his double-pupiled purple eyes now void and… filled with endless regret!
Bang!
His body toppled to the ground. At the moment the sword light pierced through him, his vitality had been extinguished, his divine soul shattered.
One strike—instant kill!
The Thunder Desolate Dominator Star Sword, one of the three Absolute Techniques imparted to Ye Chen by the Demon Emperor, was most advantageous when utilized during a thunder tribulation. Coupled with the sword’s own might and Ye Chen’s all-out attack, even burning some of his cultivation, this awe-inspiring strike instantly killed a late-stage Disaster Slaying realm powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Palace!
Seizing the moment when Elder Tianmu was utterly unprepared was a timely advantage; the surrounding environment, which augmented Ye Chen’s strength while weakening his opponent, was his geographical edge.
Adding to that, Ye Chen unleashed several of his ultimate trump cards. Though Elder Tianmu’s death seemed astonishing, it remained within reason.
As Elder Tianmu fell, so did Ye Chen!
The full force of the fifth tribulation descended completely unopposed, striking Ye Chen directly.
A charred figure struggled to rise from the ground—Ye Chen was gravely injured!
Swallowing several Holy Pills refined by the Ancient Medical Sage, Ye Chen cast a glance at Elder Tianmu’s corpse, the corner of his mouth curling into a brief smile that quickly faded.
Though Ye Chen succeeded in instantly killing Elder Tianmu, he paid a tremendous price, enduring the full brunt of the fifth tribulation, leaving him severely wounded…
And now, trouble loomed ahead!
“The Heavenly Dao Palace wouldn’t have only sent one person. With one dead, the other powerhouses should be arriving soon. Hopefully, there’s still time,” Ye Chen thought to himself.
Rarely did Ye Chen show exhaustion, but now his spirit was visibly worn.
“Kid, focus on overcoming the tribulation. If it truly comes down to a desperate moment, I and the others have secret techniques to help you through!”
Sensing Ye Chen’s dire situation, the voice of the Six Paths Sword God, Feng Qingyang, resonated in his mind at the timely moment.
The powerhouses within the Samsara Graveyard were connected with Ye Chen’s mind and soul.
Suppressing his negative emotions, Ye Chen took a deep breath and faced the impending sixth tribulation head-on. The Blood Demon Sword, still blazing with authority, rose and pointed fiercely at the sky, declaring war on the tribulation!
…
Outside the Poison Cave, Vermilion Bird Elder and three other elder-level figures from the Heavenly Dao Palace stood in stunned disbelief!
Just moments ago, they discovered that Elder Tianmu’s Life Soul Fire had extinguished!
Before setting out, all ten elders had exchanged each other’s Life Soul Flames, intending to use them for warnings and mutual communication.
The extinguishing of a Life Soul Flame signified death!
Death that was abrupt, unforeseen, and caught them completely off guard!
“Tianmu had just shared with us that he located the boy’s whereabouts!”
“The Life Soul Flame was extinguished without pause, meaning he didn’t die during an intense battle. If I’m not mistaken, he was… killed with a single strike!”
“That boy… he actually possesses such methods. No wonder he’s the successor of the Samsara Master!”
In just a few exchanges of words, the group quickly confirmed an unbelievable yet undeniable fact.
Elder Tianmu… had indeed fallen at the hands of Ye Chen.
“Ye Chen must not be allowed to live! Find him, and we will attack as one. We won’t give him the chance to unleash his techniques!” Vermilion Bird Elder declared coldly.
At this moment, Ye Chen had surpassed the sixth tribulation.
Standing clad in armor, golden clouds encircled his waist, battle boots upon his feet, Ye Chen resembled a formidable War God, exuding unparalleled dominance.
This Divine Armor, gifted by Yu Zhenzi, had become Ye Chen’s greatest defense in overcoming the sixth tribulation.
“Alas…” Ye Chen sighed softly, lamenting something.
Crack!
A clear snapping sound echoed—the Divine Armor shattered, reduced to ashes under the tribulation’s force.
The protective treasure, which Yu Zhenzi had spent countless resources to create, was destroyed just like that.
And more than that, Ye Chen’s injuries worsened; his aura became chaotic, leaving him with only 30% of his cultivation intact.
Flipping his palm, a pill appeared in Ye Chen’s hand. This pill emitted vibrations of spirituality, seemingly attempting to escape, yet shackled by his spiritual energy, its struggles were futile.
The Nine-turn Samsara Pill!
Crafted by the Ancient Medical Sage, its value immeasurable. For anyone below the Chaos Realm, as long as their divine soul was intact, one pill could revive them completely.
Even Chaos Realm Supreme figures coveted this pill!
During ancient times, its appearance incited countless martial artists to fight frantically over its possession.
Given the Ancient Medical Sage’s abilities, the refinement of such a heaven-defying pill remained incredibly arduous.
Upon consuming a Nine-turn Samsara Pill, Ye Chen’s injuries healed entirely within ten breaths of time, returning him to peak condition!
“Even I was reluctant to use this pill, but I had no choice.” Ye Chen murmured.
Just then, Elder Cang’s voice echoed from the Samsara Graveyard.
“You rascal, focus on your tribulation!”
“If you like this pill so much, I’ll refine a hundred or so for you. You can snack on them like candies.”
Ye Chen froze, feeling a wellspring of gratitude rise within him.
Though Elder Cang had been stubborn in the past, he had long accepted Ye Chen as his own.
This eccentric old man, in many cases, was surprisingly endearing.
Ye Chen recalled something Elder Cang once told him about a certain individual.
Elder Cang had saved him, yet this individual became Elder Cang’s inner demon.
If given the chance to encounter that person, Ye Chen swore he would deliver their head to Elder Cang!
To repay his kindness!
With the remaining three tribulations, Ye Chen dared not take them lightly and began employing his final trump cards.
The longer these tribulations brewed, the more terrifying their power grew.
The tribulation clouds above the sky collapsed inward, rolling tumultuously. Thunder and lightning roared, as if something monstrous was being birthed within.
The seventh tribulation lingered, still refusing to descend.
Ye Chen retrieved several treasured items: five pearls, nine spiritual swords, and four formation plates of various colors.
The pearls, swords, and formation plates flew outward in all directions, encircling Ye Chen at the center.
Five Elements Spirit Pearl Formation!
Indestructible Sword Domain!
Nirvana Soul Summoning Formation!
“I hope this setup can buy enough time!” Ye Chen thought inwardly.
Suddenly, within the Samsara Graveyard, Little Gold sensed something!
It shot out vigorously!
