Chapter 630: Heaven-Defying and Undying

CRACK!

CRACK!

In the firmament, a boundless sea of lightning stretched for thousands of miles. Silver Thunder Dragons hundreds of feet long roared and howled as if they meant to end the world.

Even a single glance was enough to instill a sense of powerlessness and terror!

And in the center of the sea of lightning, a colossal eye flickering with lightning looked down upon all living things with indifference and ruthlessness!

This was the Eye of the Firmament!

It was also known as the Eye of Heaven, the Eye of Destruction, administering punishment on behalf of the heavens to destroy all who defied it!

"The Eye of the Firmament has appeared. Another Heaven Defier is Crossing the Tribulation. This person will surely be obliterated!"

High above the major influences in the Endless Wilderness, terrifyingly powerful experts gazed up at the firmament, their hearts filled with awe and trepidation for the Eye of the Firmament.

They knew that once targeted by this eye, there was only destruction. No one could escape.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the eye opened. A Light of Destruction swept across the heavens and the earth, causing the weaker creatures of the Endless Wilderness to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear and unable to resist.

After scanning in all directions, the Eye of the Firmament’s gaze finally settled on the Fiery Sun Sect.

"It’s the Fiery Sun Sect!"

At once, some of the experts frowned and looked toward the Fiery Sun Sect. They saw massive pillars of destructive lightning converging in that direction, forming a cage of lightning that enveloped the sect and the surrounding ten thousand miles.

"Heaven Defier, die!"

The Eye of the Firmament looked down upon Ye Wushuang, and a will of destruction exploded in his mind.

At the same time, an immense worldly pressure bore down, as if the weight of the heavens and the earth had fallen upon Ye Wushuang’s shoulders.

Beneath the firmament, Ye Wushuang seemed incredibly small and fragile.

However, from within this tiny body burst forth an invincible will to conquer the heavens!

"Heaven Defiers must die? Ridiculous!"

"Humans are born free and unrestrained. We struggle and strive for nothing more than a faint hope of survival. And you want to strip that away? By what right?"

"You want to end the world, you want to destroy me... so why can’t I destroy you?"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes gleamed as he stared directly at the Eye of the Firmament, utterly fearless, his sharp edge fully revealed!

His ringing voice echoed throughout the Endless Wilderness, reverberating in the hearts of countless people!

All eyes were drawn to him. They saw a towering figure, glowing with brilliant golden light, standing firm in the void. He held a heaven-slaying Ancient Battle Spear, pointing it at the Eye of the Firmament as he let out one resonant question after another!

Dragon Scale Armor!

Golden Holy Feathers!

Protective Dragon Gang!

Like an invincible War God, with every question he posed, the golden Divine Light enveloping his body grew even more brilliant!

Below, the disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect were utterly shocked. Ye Wushuang dared to fight the heavens, dared to proclaim he would destroy them. His sharp defiance dared to rival the heavens themselves!

"Heaven Defier, die!"

The ninth bolt of lightning, a hundred meters in diameter, pierced downward to envelop Ye Wushuang.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang took a step and instantly retreated a thousand miles.

However, the pillar of lightning, as if possessing a Spiritual Sense of its own, pursued Ye Wushuang with lethal intent.

Ye Wushuang took another step, appearing right beside Yang Kun.

In that instant, Yang Kun felt as though he’d been targeted by a colossal Fierce Beast from Ancient Times, and a bone-chilling cold made him shudder!

"Get away, you little bastard! Get away from me!"

Staring at the terrifying pillar of lightning hurtling toward them, Yang Kun roared in terror. Ye Wushuang was trying to use him as a human shield!

RUMBLE!

He blasted a palm strike at Ye Wushuang and turned to flee!

"You dare attack me? Get back here."

A Divine Light flashed in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. He shot out a hand which, like one that could seize the very heavens, grabbed hold of Yang Kun’s body!

BOOM!

With a single-handed lift, he sent Yang Kun’s body hurtling toward the ninth Thunder Punishment!

"No, Ye Wushuang! Spare me! Spare me!"

Yang Kun shrieked in despair.

RUMBLE!

His shrieks were drowned out by the thunder. The sky-piercing pillar of lightning annihilated Yang Kun’s body, successfully blocking the ninth Thunder Punishment. Dense lightning blanketed ten thousand miles, and nothing could escape it!

RUMBLE!

The ninth bolt fell, and the tenth arrived right on schedule. The destructive power of the Thunderbolt was even more terrifying!

The Eye of the Firmament watched on with cold indifference, like a judge presiding over a trial.

RUMBLE!

Ye Wushuang’s figure flickered again, like a beam of golden light, appearing beside an elder at the Third Layer of the Divine Silence Level!

Instantly, the elder was terrified. As if he had run into the god of plagues itself, he scrambled to get away!

To be targeted by Ye Wushuang meant being used as cannon fodder to block the Thunder Tribulation for him!

’Trying to escape?’

Ye Wushuang reached out with one hand and seized the elder’s body.

"Ye Wushuang, I haven’t attacked you! Let me go!"

His body caught by Ye Wushuang, the elder roared hoarsely and struggled frantically. He knew that once caught, he would be reduced to cannon fodder, forced to block the Thunder Tribulation for Ye Wushuang!

"You may not be attacking me now, but before, you wanted to kill me. To atone for that, how about you take this one for me?"

Ye Wushuang lifted him with one hand, sending the elder’s body crashing into the tenth Thunder Punishment.

"You little bastard, you’ll die a horrible death!"

The elder let out a desperate roar as he collided with the tenth Thunder Punishment. Even with the supposedly indestructible body of a Divine Silence Level expert, it was useless. The destructive lightning directly ground both his physical body and his Divine Soul to dust!

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

Before the eleventh bolt of the Thunder Tribulation could fall, the other two Third Layer Divine Silence Level experts charged madly at Ye Wushuang. They figured it was better to risk their lives in a desperate fight against him than to be used as cannon fodder.

If they could kill Ye Wushuang, they might still have a chance to live—or so the two of them thought!

However, just as the two charged, Ye Wushuang’s figure flickered away and reappeared beside the Purple Emperor!

The Purple Emperor had already been targeted by the Eye of the Firmament. Whether he killed Ye Wushuang or not, he was doomed.

And it was all because Ye Wushuang had screwed him over, which filled him with immense resentment!

"This is all your fault! All your fault! If this Emperor dies, you’re coming with me!"

The Purple Emperor roared, and a purple Heaven-Burning Dao Principle Mark erupted from between his brows. It transformed into a purple Divine Sword that shot toward Ye Wushuang, aiming to pierce him through.

Ye Wushuang’s Golden Wings flickered, and he rapidly retreated.

"Little bastard, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, this Emperor will kill you."

The Purple Emperor was furious. He gave chase with his Dao Mark Sword, and the other two Third Layer Divine Silence Level elders also took the opportunity to charge forward.

However, they soon stopped in their tracks.

RUMBLE!

The twelfth bolt of lightning streaked across the sky like a heaven-cleaving sword, slashing down at Ye Wushuang!

"Damn it all!"

The Purple Emperor’s eyelid twitched. He stopped abruptly and turned tail to run.

At the same time, endless Purple Fire coiled around his body, forming terrifying layers of defense as he tried to put as much distance as possible between himself and Ye Wushuang!

He had made up his mind: even if Ye Wushuang was on the verge of death, he wouldn’t go anywhere near him!

But things didn’t go as he wished.

Ye Wushuang gave chase. With a cold smile, his golden palm thrust into the Purple Fire and grabbed the Purple Emperor’s body!

"Get off!"

The Purple Emperor roared. His terrifyingly sharp Dao Mark Sword slashed toward the golden palm, instantly destroying it.

Ye Wushuang was not surprised. His other hand immediately followed, grabbing him once more. Before the Purple Emperor could break free, his body was sent flying upward, right into the path of the twelfth Thunder Punishment.

The Purple Emperor was so furious he could have spat blood. He still hadn’t avoided it. However, he had his own methods. He frantically channeled his Purple Fire, forming a sea of purple flames that blocked the Thunder Punishment.

RUMBLE!

The Purple Emperor’s body was blasted downward, and he violently spat out mouthfuls of blood!

Ye Wushuang was slightly surprised. The Purple Emperor’s strength was indeed extraordinary. Even after being severely injured, he could still contend with the Thunder Tribulation!

"If you’re not dead, then you can take a few more for me,"

Ye Wushuang muttered, a corner of his mouth curling up as his eyes locked onto the Purple Emperor.

Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, the Purple Emperor was so enraged he spat out another mouthful of blood. He never imagined the little bastard would actually set his sights on him!

’He was already half-dead after taking just one Thunder Punishment. If he took a few more, could he possibly survive?’

In the past, he would have crushed Ye Wushuang without a second thought. But now, he wanted nothing more than to get as far away from him as possible!

So, he fled again.

Ye Wushuang continued to use the same trick, tangling with the Purple Emperor. When the thirteenth, fourteenth, and two more—a total of four consecutive—Thunder Punishments fell, he successfully made the Purple Emperor block every single one.

However, the price was steep!

His body was bombarded by the increasingly terrifying Thunder Punishments, knocked to the ground, only to be dragged back into the air by Ye Wushuang to continue blocking the bolts!

AHH! AHH!

One bloodcurdling, inhuman scream after another erupted from the Purple Emperor’s mouth, tearing through the firmament!

"So ruthless... a Demon! Ye Wushuang is a little Demon!"

The two surviving Third Layer Divine Silence Level elders felt their eyelids twitch uncontrollably, their entire bodies trembling.

’This was his dirty trick. Yang Kun died because of it. One of the three Third Layer Divine Silence Level experts died because of it.’

’And now, it looked like the Purple Emperor would too...’
