Chapter 326 - 177: Stepping into Tongxuan, Gentlemen, Please Go to Your Deaths

Otherwise, he never would have survived the Red Flame Thunder Tribulation of the Sixty-nine Celestial Tribulation, let alone this Silent Extinction Purple Thunder Tribulation of the Ninety-nine Celestial Tribulation!

However, the stronger the Celestial Tribulation, the more Origin Power his Celestial Thunder Dao Body absorbed, and the faster his strength would increase.

At this thought, Gu Yun looked up at the heavens, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

"Hurry up, Celestial Tribulation! This body of mine is practically starving for it! Come on and strike me!!!"

If anyone had heard him, they would have cursed him for being an absolute monster. He was treating the Celestial Tribulation, something everyone else feared like the plague, as nourishment for his own advancement.

RUMBLE!!!

The heavens themselves seemed to hear Gu Yun’s defiant shouts, their majesty offended. Nine terrifying bolts of pale purple Divine Thunder, imbued with Celestial Tribulation Power and radiating an awesome heavenly might, appeared. Like nine wild, Supreme True Dragons set on Devouring Heaven and Earth, they ripped through the fabric of space and descended upon Gu Yun with overwhelming, lethal force!

"Bring it on!!"

Gu Yun’s tattered, bloodstained robes whipped about him, his long hair dancing wildly. His eyes were defiant, and the corners of his mouth curled upward. All over his body, arcane Inscriptions surfaced from his Celestial Thunder Dao Body, radiating a mysterious, ancient, and majestic aura. Then, Gu Yun shattered the void. As swift as lightning, his body moving like a soaring dragon, he instantly collided with the Celestial Tribulation!!

BOOM!!

The nine immensely powerful bolts of Silent Extinction Purple Thunder slammed into Gu Yun’s body but were utterly devoured by the arcane Inscriptions of his Celestial Thunder Dao Body. An endless light radiated from him, as if he were a colossal being swallowing the Celestial Tribulation whole!

A long time passed before everything gradually fell silent.

A figure radiating an endless aura hovered in the void. A terrifying Thunder Dao Rhythm swirled around his body, and the Heaven-Reaching Magical Power within him pulsed. The aura leaking from him alone was enough to make the heavens collapse and the earth sink!!

’Strong. So incredibly strong. Stronger than ever before!!’

Gu Yun felt the power within him—as vast as an ocean, enough to shatter the very heavens. His Celestial Thunder Dao Body now even contained a trace of the Celestial Tribulation’s Thunder Punishment aura, and he couldn’t help but break into a satisfied smile.

’The Tongxuan Realm. I’ve made it!’

’Since arriving in this world, I’ve had to walk on thin ice every day, working tirelessly and never daring to slack off. Now, I’ve finally stepped into the realm of a Tongxuan True Monarch. Across the entire Celestial Essence Realm, I can be considered a true powerhouse.’

"My Dao is complete. And now..."

"...it is time for you all to die!!"

Gu Yun’s gaze, crackling with terrifying Thunder Arcs, pierced through thousands of miles to stare into the distant sky, his vision penetrating straight to the few figures who were spying on him.

"He... he succeeded!"

"Such... such a powerful presence!" Suspended in mid-air, Wei Qingming’s heart leaped into his throat. A sudden sense of crisis welled up from the depths of his soul. He stammered, "Should we... perhaps execute a strategic retreat? This man is simply too terrifying!"

"It’s too late!" Feng Xiu’s deep, penetrating gaze shot toward the distance.

His heart plummeted. ’The aura he’s emitting is enough to make me tremble. I’ve been solidifying my cultivation in the Tongxuan Realm Middle Stage for many years, yet this person, who just broke through, is making an expert like me shiver in fear. It’s unbelievable!’

Terrifying, deep Thunder Arcs flickered in Gu Yun’s eyes. He took a single step that shattered the void, his body moving like a soaring dragon as he skimmed across space. In an instant, he had crossed thousands of miles to appear before the three of them.

"How dare you! You’ve only just stepped into the Tongxuan Realm, yet you’re already this arrogant! Your talent may be peerless, but you’re still no match for me! Now, die!!"

Qin Tianyang let out a furious roar as firelight blazed in his eyes. A scorching Red Flame Dao Rhythm enveloped him as his figure ripped through space. He swung his fist, which shone like a brilliant sun, and smashed it toward Gu Yun with terrifyingly fierce flames.

"Hah."

"An ant!"

Gu Yun’s eyes were cold and his expression indifferent. Terrifying Thunder instantly coiled around him, the emitted Thunder Dao Rhythm causing the surrounding space to collapse. He raised his hand, clenched his fingers into a fist, gathered the unstoppable force of a thousand bolts of lightning, and punched out, striking at Qin Tianyang!!

BANG!!

The Flame Fist and the Thunder Fist collided violently in mid-air, creating a terrifying explosion. Huge sections of the surrounding space shattered, and dazzling firelight and brilliant lightning flashed against each other.

But in the very next instant,

Gu Yun’s unstoppable Thunder Fist shattered Qin Tianyang’s Flame Fist as if it were rotten wood. Continuing its momentum, it tore through the air and plunged straight through Qin Tianyang’s chest. A cold glint flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes as an exquisitely terrifying Thunder Dao Rhythm erupted from his hand, exploding from inside Qin Tianyang’s body!!

In an instant, Qin Tianyang’s body was annihilated by the terrifying Thunder Dao Rhythm, wiped from existence. Just like that, a Tongxuan Realm expert had fallen!

"This... this!"

Wei Qingming’s eyes flew wide open, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. Qin Tianyang, an Elder from the Red Moon Divine Palace and a man far stronger than himself, had been felled in a single blow.

’This man is so strong... I don’t even have the will to fight back.’

The thought had barely formed before he acted on it, transforming into a streak of light and bolting toward the distant horizon!

At the same time, Feng Xiu also transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

And he was even faster than Wei Qingming!

In his mind, this man was impossible to fight. Qin Tianyang, whose strength was comparable to his own, had been killed in a single move. If he stayed, he would surely die!

’Running?’

’Do you really think you can get away?!’

Gu Yun snorted coldly, his gaze—flickering with deep and terrifying Thunder Arcs—fixed on the direction the two had fled.

The two were fleeing in opposite directions. Chasing one would mean letting the other escape. But for Gu Yun, that wasn’t an issue. He wanted them both annihilated!
