Chapter 1238 - 1238: Slaying the Eastern King, A Celebration for the Ghost Tribulation's Emergence!

"Indeed, only when pushed to the brink can one unleash their ultimate potential!"

Lin Mu felt quite amazed by the power emanating from the Eastern King.

Utilizing the Tribulation Thunder Thought to harness the force of nature, although it is still a ways off from melding Dao Methods, it is not far off.

In the Heavenly Realm, where the concept of spellcraft is outdated, this counts as an impressive innovation.

The Four Hidden Kings perhaps didn't even realize that they have taken a solid step toward the true usage of the Tribulation Thunder Thought.

"Die!"

The Eastern King waved a hand forward, and the Tribulation Thunder Thought, infused with the terrifying force of the heavens and earth, slammed towards Lin Wudi.

The Tribulation Thunder Thought combined with the earthly power of the Forbidden Sand Sea to form a massive sandy hand, which obscured a corner of the sky.

Rumble!

The entire Royal Palace collapsed under the terrifying might of the Eastern King.

Every defensive formation proved useless against the Eastern King's ultimate move.

In an instant, everything was reduced to dust.

All walls were riddled with thousands of holes by the storming sands made manifest.

In the vast King City, everyone turned pale with fright.

The entire King City was enveloped in golden sands.

This scene was reminiscent of the apocalypse.

"Ah..."

A Dao integrator let out a wretched scream as their body was pierced through by the sand.

Some unlucky ones were struck directly in the head, dying instantly.

Even the Personal Guard Squad, with one tribulation, was forced to unleash all their Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to fend off the assault of the manifested sands.

It was merely the aftermath, yet the King City suffered a baptism of death.

Countless people perished under the sand attack, adding a streak of blood to the golden sands.

"Is this the Hidden King?"

"It's too terrifying!"

"Such power is far stronger than the Third Tribulation! Could it be that the Hidden King has found a way to endure the heavenly tribulation?"

"Impossible! The Eastern King is still at the Third Tribulation!"

"But this attack method is astonishingly powerful!"

Within the King City, everyone's expression changed color, quickly retreating and adding more dread towards the Hidden King.

Initially, it was thought that the mad Hidden King wasn't a match for the Ten Kings.

Now it seems the Hidden King's prowess far surpasses the Ten Kings!

Not only was the Eastern Luo King captured, but even if the Ten Kings joined forces, they might not be a match for the Hidden King.

Now, with Lin Wudi descending, could he be a match for the Hidden King?

No one knew the answer.

If it were before today, everyone would have confidently believed Lin Wudi would win.

Lin Wudi could slay over a hundred of those formidable Third Tribulation abominations.

But now, no one dared be so certain.

Because the strength displayed by the Eastern King is already not inferior to Lin Wudi's from that day!

In fact, it might be even stronger!

The outcome of this battle remains uncertain!

The Eastern King gazed intensely, his eyes slightly crazed as he glared at Lin Wudi, seemingly unable to wait to see Lin Wudi being struck down.

Lin Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of compassion.

The Eastern King forcibly applied the force of heaven and earth to the Tribulation Thunder Thought without knowing the proper method, already teetering on the brink of madness.

This person is pitiful yet lamentable.

But as an enemy, Lin Mu showed no mercy.

"I have a saber that can cleave the heavens!"

Lin Mu soared into the sky, his soft chant echoing through the firmament!

In the King City, those who heard this voice bore a look of confusion.

A saber?

A Magic Artifact?

Wasn't it said that the Forbidden Sand Sea prohibits the use of Magic Artifacts?

Amidst everyone's astonishment, Lin Wudi's voice rang out once more.

"Today, I shall first sever the Eastern King and welcome the emergence of my Ghost Tribulation with cheers!"

As Lin Wudi's voice resounded, a streak of black light emerged within the Royal Palace.

Initially, under the Eastern King's Dao Methods, the entire King City had turned golden.

The entire sky was filled with sands transformed by the force of heaven and earth.

This slice of heaven seemed to have completely transformed into an ocean of sand.

Everyone was enshrouded and attacked by the terrifying sands.

Whether a Dao integrator, or those with one or two tribulations, they stood defenseless before this calamity-like Dao Method.

Now, a black light emerged, like a saber cleaving open the very heavens, slicing through the dust!

Rumble!

All the sands split suddenly as if divided in two.

A black saber light cut the King City in half!

"Heaven-Cleaving Technique!"

The black line moved towards the Eastern King's figure.

"Tribulation Thought Treasure! Stubborn heresy!"

The Eastern King faced this black line with disdain.

He had previously encountered the methods used by people of the Yin Soul Realm concerning the application of Tribulation Thunder Thought.

But he regarded them with contempt.

Borrowing external power is never the true path!

In his eyes, the people of the Yin Soul Realm are no different from the Ten Kings.

Just a bunch of petty-minded fools lacking any ambition!

Initially, he even held Lin Wudi in a slightly higher regard.

Now, learning that Lin Wudi resorted to using the Yin Soul Realm's Tribulation Thought Treasure filled him with disdain.

The sandy giant hand, infused with the Tribulation Thunder Thought, was only a hand's distance away from Lin Wudi!

If this palm were to strike, even the strongest Third Tribulation would perish, let alone Lin Wudi who was only at the Second Tribulation.

The Eastern King was full of confidence in this palm strike.

At that moment, the saber light of the Heaven-Cleaving Technique collided with the Eastern King's sandy giant hand.

BOOM!

Between heaven and earth, there was a momentary silence.

It was as if all sounds vanished without a trace.

Xie Yue's expression changed dramatically, and without hesitation, he wrapped Mu Gui and Liu Yuan with the Tribulation Thunder Thought, continuing to retreat.

Even going as far as burning the Tribulation Thunder Thought!

The next instant, the space around the collision point began to expand with darkness.

The deafening sounds of explosions began to spread outwards.

The Dao integrators within the King City clutched their ears in agony and fell to the ground.

Even those with one tribulation cried out repeatedly, feeling an extreme pain.

Even those with two tribulations bled from their seven orifices, in unspeakable anguish.

The shockwave from the explosion swept across, destroying a third of the buildings in the King City!

BAM!

The black line of the Heaven-Cleaving Technique directly broke through the sandy giant hand, striking towards the Eastern King.

"Aaah..."

The Eastern King, who had just been confident of victory, let out a wretched howl, his head nearly shattered.

Just now, at least a third of his Tribulation Thunder Thoughts were destroyed by the Heaven-Cleaving Technique.

The Ghost Tribulation revealed its terrifying power for the first time.

Ten thousand Second-stage Tribulation Thoughts, moreover, belonging to Lin Wudi.

Such power rivals thirty to forty Third Tribulations striking simultaneously.

And these were Third Tribulation that had mastered Dao Methods.

This saber almost obliterated everything the Eastern King possessed!

Even though the Eastern King's Sea of Consciousness had been tempered due to the refining of natural forces, making it far stronger than ordinary Third Tribulations, he was dizzy from the explosion, unable to respond.

And at this moment, Lin Wudi's saber arrived!

BAM!

The Ghost Tribulation pierced through the Eastern King's body.

The Eastern King's form abruptly solidified and then began to wither at a visible rate.

These ten thousand Tribulation Thunder Thoughts were brimming with Ghastly Qi.

Under one stroke, the Eastern King's body was nearly corroded clean.

"Impossible... How could you be this powerful..."

The Eastern King found it hard to believe.

The Four Hidden Kings had figured out how to harness heavenly forces with Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, a pride in their hearts unseen by outsiders!

In the Eastern King's view, the Ten Kings and those foreign Third Tribulations, including Lin Wudi, were just stagnant waste.

Only the Four Hidden Kings possessed the true natural talent.

He believed that once the Four Hidden Kings left the Forbidden Sand Sea, they would definitely become legends in the Heavenly Realm and be fabled myths of the time!

Yet now, his path to fame had ended before it truly began.

Lin Wudi, with this strike, extinguished his lifeforce!
