Chapter 1682 - 1478: Heavenly Tribulation (Part 2)

Countless Sword Spirits wove together in midair, condensing into a single Soul Sword.

The Soul Sword kept clashing against the heavenly thunder, yet it could barely hold its ground. You had to know, this was the combined Sword Spirit power of tens of thousands of Immortal Swords.

Very soon, the Soul Sword erupted with a terrifying might, intending to suppress the heavenly thunder in one fell swoop.

But the heavenly thunder seemed to have a will of its own. Sensing the opponent's terrifying strength, it suddenly exploded with a boom, forming a powerful shockwave all around.

After enduring the self-destruction of the heavenly thunder, the Soul Sword instantly scattered. Countless Sword Spirits dimmed all at once, retreating back into the Immortal Swords and falling into slumber.

Obviously, that strike had already left the Sword Spirits of the Immortal Swords heavily wounded; they would need who knew how many days of nourishment before they could recover.

Ye Guichen looked at those dim, lusterless Immortal Swords, his heart aching.

"That was ten thousand Immortal Swords… over a hundred billion Spirit Stones! And they were just thrown away for nothing like that."

Just thinking about it made Ye Guichen feel a stab of pain in his flesh.

But in this desperate moment, Ye Guichen had no time to dwell on it.

"This brat actually has such endless tricks… looks like he might really have a chance to achieve a Supreme Immortal Body."

Standing far off to the side, the Demon Saint watched Ye Guichen's ever-changing methods, secretly shocked, and was already looking forward to whatever trump cards Ye Guichen might display next.

He had no idea how helpless Ye Guichen felt right now.

Even ten thousand swords had already been sacrificed. The only things he had left were that Jiuyou Tower, and his Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill that he hadn't fully cultivated.

Yet looking at that Thunder Eye, there was not the slightest sign of it dispersing. And several bolts of heavenly thunder had already fallen.

Ye Guichen hurriedly took out a drop of life essence and swallowed it, constantly mending the injuries on his body.

The thunder in the sky, seeing its strike had failed, as if its dignity had been provoked, flew into a rage.

"Boom!"

A low roar suddenly rumbled from the heavens.

A gigantic thunder claw lunged toward Ye Guichen, like an eagle snatching a chick, wanting to seize Ye Guichen in its grip.

But how could Ye Guichen sit there and wait for death? He pushed his movement technique to the limit, instantly shifting away from where he stood.

Yet how could human speed compare to the speed of thunder? Even though Ye Guichen was using his movement technique to its utmost, the distance between him and the heavenly thunder was still rapidly shrinking.

In the blink of an eye, the thunder claw was already about to jab into Ye Guichen's back.

Ye Guichen's figure abruptly halted. He turned around, staring straight at the incoming heavenly thunder.

The thunder claw clearly hadn't expected Ye Guichen to actually wait obediently for death. It froze for a moment, but quickly twisted into a ferocious expression and continued lunging at Ye Guichen.

"Woosh!"

All of a sudden, a small golden tower spun into being in front of Ye Guichen, radiating endless light, carrying holy brilliance and purifying power.

The Jiuyou Tower spun faster and faster, until only a phantom could be seen.

The thunder claw tried to grab the golden little tower, but could never catch hold of that phantom.

After pausing for a few seconds, the heavenly thunder suddenly turned its claw into a palm and slapped down on the body of the Jiuyou Tower.

The Jiuyou Tower slammed straight into Ye Guichen, sending him flying off once more.

In midair, the Jiuyou Tower spun wildly, wrapping Ye Guichen inside it. Vaguely, wisps of soul power seeped out.

Ye Guichen only felt a warm current surge through his soul, and in an instant his whole being relaxed. Vaguely, he could sense his soul power had strengthened by a bit.

"This… this tower is…"

Right now the Demon Saint was staring blankly at the golden little tower before Ye Guichen, speechless.

"No wonder… no wonder! No wonder this Supreme Thunder Tribulation would descend."

"I didn't expect that Snake Woman actually gave him even this."

The Demon Saint suddenly came to a realization, looking at the spinning golden little tower with a face full of enlightenment, mixed with deep unease.

Ye Guichen was also filled with shock at this moment.

He hadn't expected that after the Jiuyou Tower evolved into a golden little tower, its defense would be so solid, able to withstand heavenly thunder head-on, and even continuously repair a person's soul power.

You had to know, Ye Guichen originally thought that with this Jiuyou Tower he'd only be able to tank one bolt of heavenly thunder.

Even Immortal Swords had only the fate of being destroyed beneath this heavenly thunder, yet the Jiuyou Tower could remain completely undamaged. He was overjoyed.

It seemed that this Jiuyou Tower was a level higher than Immortal Artifacts. It was just that Ye Guichen had no idea what came after Immortal Artifacts.

While he was imagining, the Heavenly Tribulation actually paused its attacks on Ye Guichen, leaving him rather puzzled.

Ye Guichen's brows furrowed slightly as he looked up at the sky.

The originally sky-filling Heavenly Tribulation was continuously shrinking, condensing, gradually forming a thundercloud about the size of an airplane above Ye Guichen's head.

"Kid, this is the true Supreme Thunder Tribulation. Take the baptism of the tribulation properly."

The Demon Saint's icy voice drifted over from afar.

The Demon Saint gazed coldly at Ye Guichen, his eyes turning suspiciously, clearly plotting something in secret.

The Demon Saint took out a wooden token from his hand and crushed it forcefully. The token shattered on the spot.

Then his gaze continued to observe Ye Guichen's situation.

Suddenly, the dark clouds scattered completely, and the Thunder Eye in the sky gradually emerged.

A gigantic eye, a hundred meters wide, hung across the sky, emanating a Leng Lie chill as it calmly watched Ye Guichen, as if judging whether Ye Guichen had the qualifications to become an immortal.

"Swoosh!"
