Chapter 731: Five Thunders Strike the Top

BOOM—

With his breakthrough to the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm, all of Ye Tianling’s abilities were boosted exponentially.

His figure flickered through the void, manifesting the Space-Time Law to evade the endless, terrifyingly lethal attacks.

He didn’t fight back. Instead, at that moment, Ye Tianling manifested his Thunder Flame Divine Body and began to directly absorb the Celestial Tribulation!

RUMBLE—

By completing his realm transformation ahead of schedule, he was blatantly provoking the Hell Celestial Tribulation.

The Hell Celestial Tribulation, which had already begun its descent, immediately went berserk.

RUMBLE!

Terrifying bolts of lightning directly annihilated the surrounding world.

When their devastating attack failed and they sensed Ye Tianling had instantly devoured a full one hundred thousand Dao Rhyme Fragments, causing his realm to rise noticeably, all the prodigies present plunged into an abyss of icy despair.

PFFT—

Darkness descended. Endless lightning threatened to destroy heaven and earth. Cyan bolts filled the altar area, submerging the infinite void in a world of cyan thunder.

The scene was utterly horrifying, like divine lightning carrying out a peerless punishment, a slaughter in an endless, blood-red, apocalyptic world.

The aura was enough to drive anyone to despair.

It was like a scene of endless slaughter. The destructive plane of Hell had descended and opened, unleashing what seemed to be countless Evil Spirits and Resentful Spirits.

This was a Celestial Tribulation of malevolent spirits, a Celestial Tribulation like a Demon that controlled slaughter itself!

Terrifying earth, fire, wind, and lightning; terrifying Heavenly Dao Laws; terrifying Dao Rhyme Radiance; and terrifying Dao Rhyme Fragments all transformed into destructive thunderbolts.

The thunderbolts carved out an independent space within the void, locking down everything inside.

Over fifty prodigies were now caught within the area of the Hell Celestial Tribulation. This was the ultimate provocation, causing the tribulation’s difficulty to shatter the eternal imprisonment of the Laws and rise to a level of destruction countless times more terrifying than it should have been.

With such a Celestial Tribulation descending, did any of them stand a chance of survival?!

At this point, trying to kill Ye Tianling was completely out of the question!

"Escape!"

Finally, some Cultivators could no longer withstand the impact of this terrifying, destructive aura and began to scatter.

They might be prodigies, but they weren’t willing to just wait for death.

This Hell Celestial Tribulation had already enveloped them, sealing off the area into an almost independent space. If they didn’t escape now, when would they?

Even peerless prodigies like Ji Yun and Qianyu now had extremely grim expressions!

"This Ye Tianling is a madman! An absolute lunatic! How could he do this!"

Duan Cangyue’s and Liu Yueru’s faces also turned pale. Liu Yueru, in particular, was seething over Ye Tianling’s insane actions.

She seemed to have forgotten what their own methods looked like when their group of prodigies had surrounded and tried to kill Ye Tianling.

’This man is not only vicious toward others but is just as ruthless with himself. He is not someone you want as an enemy!’

At that moment, Qiu Yuan, Qiu Li, and the others clearly recognized what kind of person Ye Tianling was, and their hearts sank.

VMMM—

Streaks of light transformed into bloody glares, shooting out in all directions with explosive force.

Several figures executed their most powerful escape techniques, trying to break free from the cyan-lit area and get out of the Hell Celestial Tribulation’s range.

Unfortunately, with the Hell Celestial Tribulation descending and Ye Tianling having activated his Soul Talent to its absolute limit, how could he possibly let them escape?

"Trying to run now? It’s too late!"

Ye Tianling sneered endlessly. He had no fear of the Hell Celestial Tribulation. He possessed the strongest trump cards: his Thunder Flame Divine Body gave him an extreme degree of immunity to tribulations, and with the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower as a backup, he could guarantee his soul’s survival even in the worst-case scenario. It would mean sacrificing his physical body, but that was all.

But what about these prodigies?

They couldn’t possibly possess a trump card to protect their souls. The final result would be their utter obliteration—body and soul—under the Hell Celestial Tribulation.

Ye Tianling’s figure manifested the One Qi Three Pure Technique. Three Dao Bodies appeared and, along with his original body, shot out in four directions to intercept every prodigy trying to flee.

Using his Kunpeng Hidden Dragon Technique, enhanced by both the Space Law and Time Law, his movements were akin to Instant Teleportation, far surpassing the escape techniques of the other prodigies.

With these abilities on display, Ye Tianling unleashed a punch, a sword strike, an arrow, and a palm strike in quick succession, knocking back every single prodigy who dared to try and escape the sealed space!

PFFT—

Ji Yun was sent flying back by a palm strike, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Now that Ye Tianling had entered the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm, his Battle Power was truly berserk and unparalleled. Even when Ji Yun met the single palm strike with his full strength, he was immediately forced onto the defensive.

The scene was too horrifying.

What was even more terrifying was that the four Ye Tianlings attacked simultaneously, forcing Qianyu, Duan Cangyue, and Liu Yueru back as well.

The qi and blood in the three’s bodies roiled violently as fresh blood streamed from their wounds. They had suffered considerable injuries after just one direct exchange with Ye Tianling.

Amidst all this, the Hell Celestial Tribulation descended. Destructive cyan bolts of the Thunder Tribulation rippled outward as arcs of electricity flashed and the thunder raged with furious power.

Prodigies like Ji Yun, Qianyu, Duan Cangyue, and even Liu Yueru might have dared to use their full power against Ye Tianling, but at the same time, they had to be wary of the Hell Celestial Tribulation’s savage bombardment. Thus, they couldn’t focus their full attention on him.

However, thanks to the Sensing ability of his Soul Talent, Ye Tianling didn’t need to pay the Hell Celestial Tribulation any mind at all.

With one side’s strength waning as the other’s waxed, Ye Tianling’s battle immediately became much easier.

Even when they were going all out before, these prodigies couldn’t handle Ye Tianling. Now that his power had undergone a transformation and he was using the Hell Celestial Tribulation itself as the core of a frenzied assault, it was giving Ji Yun and the others an incredible headache.

And all of this was only the beginning.

RUMBLE—

Cyan Thunder Power permeated the area as the independent Gate of Hell opened completely. In that instant, all the destructive thunderbolts were revealed, dyeing the entire world with a terrifying, purplish-cyan Thunder Power.

The cyan thunderbolts had begun to turn purple.

The terrifying power of the Five Thunders Strike the Top erupted, blasting out in all directions.

"AHH—"

Under these conditions, one Cultivator finally broke free from Ye Tianling’s Control and rushed to the edge of the void, attempting to charge out of the area enveloped by the Gate of Hell.

But the purple Thunder Tribulation suddenly morphed, forming a hand of slaughter that slammed down toward the void below.

KRA-KOOM—

The peerless thunderbolt manifested five streaks of purple lightning. The streaks of light formed a peerless Killing Array—Five Thunders Strike the Top!

PFFT—

With that single strike, the prodigy’s entire body was engulfed in purplish-cyan Thunder Fire, which began to burn fiercely.

The prodigy let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body convulsing violently before turning to tribulation ash in an instant. Not even his bones remained; he was utterly annihilated.
