Chapter 548: Tribulation Annihilation
Endless lightning, ten thousand zhang of purple radiance, completely submerged heaven and earth. This was no longer a single bolt of lightning, but a sea of thunder!
Nothing remained; everything was drowned by the thunder. The scene was blindingly bright, and the power of destruction could be felt even from a great distance.
Let alone those within the tribulation itself. A vast expanse of purple light, suffocating even from miles away, causing people to tremble.
"Ah…"
Heart-rending screams came first. Someone had met their doom, turning into flying ash, forever erased from this world.
"Damn it, Ye kid, this emperor will fight you to the death!" Big Black Dog cursed incessantly, also submerged within.
"Ah…"
The place was in turmoil. Many cried out in terror. How many could withstand such a heavenly tribulation? No one had expected Ye Fan to resort to such a tactic.
"Owoo… Ye Black, you son of a bitch!" Even Big Black Dog was cursing his mother, which showed how everyone felt.
Everyone wished they could skin Ye Fan alive. Who could have predicted such a vicious move? Despite all their calculations, they never saw this coming.
Some knew Black Emperor's dao patterns were unmatched and had specifically chosen the burial ground of an ancient sacred spirit to render them useless. Yet, after all their precautions, they never anticipated this.
This kid was utterly despicable!
Everyone wanted to curse his mother. Unleashing such a damaging move was meant to slaughter everyone. Not a single face remained pale; the legendary heavenly tribulation was the most bizarre and terrifying.
"Boom!"
Ten thousand zhang of thunderstorm, who knew how many mountain ranges were submerged. Purple light connected the heavens, every inch of space filled with tribulation lightning, horrifying to the extreme.
"Too ruthless, I don't want to die, ah…" Screams echoed from time to time.
"Ye the Ruthless, even as a ghost I won't let you go, ah…" Piercing cries, through the thunder sea, echoed weakly. This was a great slaughter.
That day, after learning Yi Yi was imprisoned, Ye Fan immediately went into seclusion at Yao Chi, hiding his intentions. He could have broken through long ago but had been suppressing his cultivation, waiting for this day.
He had planned to bring Red Dragon, Peacock King, and others, but they were detected. However, those were not his final resort; the heavenly tribulation was his trump card for this trip!
Crossing the tribulation within a life-and-death killing formation, dragging everyone in, he would succeed, advancing to the Four Extremes Great Perfection realm, while his enemies would be annihilated.
Dragging everyone through the tribulation together was a vicious move. He had no choice but to devise this strategy to break the deadlock.
"Boom!"
The unavoidable great heavenly tribulation arrived as scheduled, scorching heaven and earth, melting the snow-capped mountains, leaving not an inch of intact land.
"You are so ruthless…" A Holy Son-level figure cried out, his whole body enveloped in electric light, struggling fiercely.
"Your suffering is too great; let me send you on your way!" Ye Fan said with a cold smile, stepping forward step by step.
At this moment, he was the center of the thunder sea, the source of the violent storm. Endless electric light surged toward him. Once he moved, it truly became a mountain of lightning and a sea of thunder!
"Ah…" This Holy Son-level figure screamed. Such a heavenly tribulation was impossible for him to withstand; every inch of his flesh was charred.
"Let me see who you really are. I didn't expect you to have a secret treasure hiding your true face." Ye Fan was already close. He too was resisting the tribulation, but he could endure it.
"Crack!"
The secret treasure on this person shattered in the thunderstorm, revealing a familiar face full of terror, already crippled by the lightning.
"It's you…" Ye Fan was surprised.
This was Yao Guang's reserve Holy Son, Li Rui, whom he had once humiliated and later released in Divine City.
"Crack!"
Five thunders struck the path.
"I said, today a miracle will happen, and I will slay all of you!" Ye Fan remained unmoved.
He crossed the tribulation to attain the Dao, while others continuously fell. Screams kept coming, a terrifying scene.
Chapter 549: Done with the Deed, Departing Unnoticed
The void burned intensely. Every inch of space was filled with electric light. The earth was scorched black. Endless purple radiance converged into a sea of thunder!
The heavenly tribulation had not passed; instead, it grew fiercer and more terrifying, vast and boundless, with no end in sight.
On the ground lay corpses, or rather, human-shaped scorch marks. Who knew how many had died here? Ye Fan did not bother to count.
"Ah…"
Heart-rending screams, like a scene of doomsday. Half-Step Great Powers roared, but could not turn the tide. Their artifacts cracked, and they fell straight down.
Soon, they became ashes in the electric light, not even bones remaining. All their heavy treasures turned to dust, nothing preserved.
Ye Fan was like the God of Death, his head not turning back. He walked through the thunder sea, his figure tall and straight, like a reincarnated demon god, unstoppable.
"Ah…"
Another scream. A Holy Son-level figure was struck by lightning, his body charred black, his soul dissipating. He struggled for a moment, then fell, turning to ashes.
"Too terrifying. This is a calamity!"
"Ye Fan is crazy. He wants to drag everyone to their deaths!"
Many people were terrified. They had never imagined that Ye Fan would use such a method to break the situation. This was a slaughter!
"Boom!"
The heavenly tribulation became even more intense. The thunder sea surged, and the electric light was blinding. Countless bolts of lightning fell, as if to destroy everything.
Ye Fan stood in the center of the thunder sea, his body covered in blood, but his eyes were firm. He knew that as long as he endured this tribulation, he would reach the Four Extremes Great Perfection realm.
"Ah…"
Screams continued. One by one, people fell, turning to ashes. Ye Fan was like a reaper, harvesting lives.
"Ye Fan, I will not let you go!" Someone roared, but was soon drowned by the thunder.
Ye Fan remained unmoved. He knew that this was a life-and-death battle. If he did not kill them, they would kill him.
"Boom!"
The heavenly tribulation reached its climax. Countless bolts of lightning fell, as if to destroy the entire world. Ye Fan's body was covered in wounds, but he still stood firm.
"Ah…"
The last scream faded. All enemies had fallen. Ye Fan stood alone in the thunder sea, his body covered in blood, but his eyes were firm.
The heavenly tribulation finally passed. The thunder sea dissipated, and the sky cleared. Ye Fan stood on the scorched earth, his body covered in wounds, but his aura was powerful.
He had succeeded. He had reached the Four Extremes Great Perfection realm.
"Done with the deed, departing unnoticed." Ye Fan murmured, then turned and left.
He knew that this battle would shake the Eastern Wasteland. But he did not care. He only wanted to protect those he cared about.
"Ye Fan!" A voice came from behind. It was Liu Yiyi, her eyes red.
Ye Fan turned and smiled. "It's okay. Let's go."
They left together, leaving behind the scorched earth and the countless corpses.
This battle would be remembered for a long time. Ye Fan's name would become a legend.
