Chapter 779: Hell Celestial Tribulation in the Emperor’s Tomb

The instant Ye Tianling got a clear look at the two Exotic Creatures, light flashed in the phantoms’ eyes, and they vanished.

BZZZZ—

A terrifying killing intent erupted, as if it were slicing through space. The sudden surge of murderous intent made Ye Tianling’s pupils contract.

"Ah—this is a Divine Spirit! Not a Divine Thought!"

Que De and Wan Jimie instantly sensed the mortal danger. Their faces paled in horror, and with a shriek, they summoned all of their treasures.

But as a ray of slaughtering light shot past, the treasures protecting them exploded one after another, completely unable to block the attack.

BZZZT—

Ye Tianling made his move.

He, too, had sensed the extreme danger. Without hesitation, he instinctively struck out, enveloping Wan Jimie and Que De.

He couldn’t defeat them either, but he was supremely confident in the Defense Power of Yanyan’s body.

"Don’t run around, get behind me! You two idiots!"

Ye Tianling snorted coldly, and with a tremor of Purple Flame, he shielded Wan Jimie and Que De.

Just then, two incredibly terrifying, murderous attacks stabbed at Ye Tianling’s body.

CLINK! CLINK!

Just as expected, sparks flew. Not only was Ye Tianling completely unharmed by the terrifying killing attack, but Yanyan’s crystalline, jade-like skin—which looked so delicate it might break at a touch—actually emitted a terrifying rebound force.

PFFT! PFFT!

This horrifying rebound force, infused with a wisp of the Silent Extinction Purple Flame’s aura, directly blasted the two phantoms, sending them flying.

RUMBLE...

The entire space began to tremble violently!

"SKREEE—"

"SKREEE—"

Heart-rending, ear-splitting demonic howls roared out. Then, two even more terrifying killing attacks manifested the Destruction Law and came crashing down on Ye Tianling.

"How dare you!"

Ye Tianling felt his dignity had been challenged. It was as if it wasn’t his own majesty being violated, but Yanyan’s.

BOOM—

Ye Tianling acted on instinct, unleashing the Azure Dragon Fist. It produced an unparalleled Dragon Soul Roar as an indescribable Power of Destruction rippled out, annihilating the surrounding void with a single strike.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The punch obliterated everything. The shrill demonic howls stopped abruptly as the two shadows instantly shattered into fine dust.

’The Devouring Law!’

Ye Tianling instinctively activated the Devouring Law, but was surprised to find that after his seemingly omnipotent Devouring Law swept over the area, there was only emptiness. There was nothing there.

Before the ancient palace, two statues of Exotic Creatures slowly coalesced, becoming lifelike sculptures once more, devoid of any aura of life.

Their faces were ferocious, their expressions savage and cruel, their methods tyrannical.

One on the left and one on the right, they guarded the incredibly ancient palace.

"This is the Celestial Blade Mantis race. They’ve mastered an unparalleled Space Assassination Technique and the invincible Overlord Sword Killing Dao..."

Wan Jimie stared intently at the two Exotic Creatures, his expression incomparably grave.

He had witnessed the previous battle, but there was nothing he could do. As someone merely at the Sword Ancestor Great Perfection Realm, he wasn’t strong enough to change anything.

’Fight? I would be incredibly lucky just to survive.’

As for Ye Tianling’s Battle Power, although Wan Jimie was utterly shocked, he was also getting used to it. ’Has Ye Tianling ever done anything that *wasn’t* shocking?’

Every single time, didn’t Ye Tianling shake the world and do things that were beyond imagination?

After being constantly shocked, Wan Jimie and Que De had slowly grown accustomed to it.

"Tianling, this Venerable Female Corpse of yours is truly powerful!"

Que De sighed emotionally, his beady eyes gleaming. He wished he could take advantage of Ye Tianling right then and there, but ultimately, he didn’t dare.

He had already realized that this Venerable Female Corpse possessed some degree of consciousness.

At the same time, he was worried that Ye Tianling was playing with fire. If the Venerable Female Corpse had her own schemes or intended to attempt Possession, how would Ye Tianling handle it?

"Give me an Elixir, quick! I can’t hold on!"

Ye Tianling, however, was not so composed. The attack had been powerful, but while in the female corpse’s body, he could still feel that something was wrong.

If he returned to his original body now, he’d probably be tortured to death by hunger and desire.

Although it pained Que De greatly, he knew exactly how much Energy Ye Tianling’s attack had consumed.

Without hesitation, he took out a priceless Yu Daoyuan Creation Pill and gave it to Ye Tianling.

Treasures were important, but they had just entered the Emperor’s Burial Land and had already encountered a Divine Level being... It was hard to imagine what terrifying dangers they would face if they continued exploring.

Without Ye Tianling, they would never survive.

Wan Jimie also took out a similarly high-grade Elixir. Although it couldn’t compare to the Yu Daoyuan Creation Pill, it wasn’t far off.

Ye Tianling instantly switched back to his original body and swallowed the two Elixirs.

Even so, his entire body was trembling. The drain this time was so terrifying that he was on the verge of complete collapse.

He desperately suppressed the backlash of negative emotions. After he took the two Elixirs, the potent Ancestral Realm Energy nearly drove him berserk.

But he managed to endure it.

In the sky, a massive Celestial Tribulation began to gather.

Ye Tianling was about to undergo Crossing the Tribulation again.

In this Small World, the Third Layer of the Hell Celestial Tribulation had begun, appearing without any warning whatsoever.

Because this was a special World, and with Wan Jimie and Que De acting as ’Guardians’—as Daoist Ancestors participating in Crossing the Tribulation—the process of Crossing the Tribulation was naturally even more brutal.

"We’re screwed. This is a Hell Celestial Tribulation!"

"The Celestial Tribulation is treating us as his Guardians! We’re going to get struck by lightning!"

"When have we ever teamed up with this guy and not suffered heavy casualties? We’ve almost gotten ourselves killed several times. And you fucking called me a jinx? I think this Ye Tianling is the biggest jinx of all!"

"What can we do about it? The Celestial Tribulation’s Descent has already begun. Tell me, what’s the plan?"

"We endure it."

"Can your Daoist Celestial Essence Hat withstand it?"

"A Hell Celestial Tribulation using the Destruction Law pierces all defenses. You think it can withstand that? I’d be shocked if it could!"

"What did we do to deserve this!?"

"I must have owed him in a past life. Let’s just help!"

...

Que De and Wan Jimie were resigned to their fate. For the Celestial Tribulation to descend at a time like this left them utterly speechless.

But they had no choice but to steel themselves and prepare to face it.

Once a Hell Celestial Tribulation begins its Descent, its Absolute Kill is merciless, comparable to a Celestial Dao Erasure. You either die or achieve Transcendence.

So what if they were Daoist Ancestors? Before a Celestial Tribulation, all life is equal—nothing more than ants.

The two sighed and lamented, but they still manifested their Bloodline Power, preparing to weather the storm head-on.

But just then, Ye Tianling flew out on his own initiative. With a flash, his figure soared into the sky, charging directly into the Thunder Tribulation.

"That lunatic—"

"Is he out of his mind? Or has he lost his reason?"

Que De and Wan Jimie were speechless. They immediately prepared to rush into the clouds to drag Ye Tianling back down.

They could barely handle it on the ground, and he was flying up into it? This was simply courting death!

"Don’t worry, I’m perfectly lucid. This is an opportunity. Just wait here and relax!"

Ye Tianling’s voice echoed from the sky.

Then, a palm formed from the Heavenly Dao Laws appeared. With a light slap, it batted the ascending figures of Wan Jimie and Que De right back down to the ground.

Although neither was injured, they were left looking rather disheveled.

"Ptooey—"

Que De spat out a mouthful of dirt, utterly speechless.

Wan Jimie coughed up some mud, equally speechless as he stared at the sky where Ye Tianling had already disappeared. He sighed, "He’s truly a monster!"

"A monster? He’s more than that! I always thought that after we stepped into the realm of Unparalleled Daoist Ancestors, comprehended the resources of two Worlds, and reached complete Perfection, we could finally overpower this kid. When I saw him earlier at the Sword Tribulation Second Refining Realm, it just confirmed my theory. But now... fucking hell, can someone tell me why he’s still so strong even without using the Venerable Female Corpse?"

Que De nearly flew into a rage.
