Chapter 473 - 343: The Celestial Tribulation Arises

Chapter 473: Chapter 343: The Celestial Tribulation Arises

The figure was entirely blood-red, woven from countless writhing threads of blood. Its incessant squirming gave it an exceptionally strange and demonic air. The body was massive, its facial features a blur, forming only a rough silhouette. What was most striking were the slender arms extending from its sides, writhing and distorting the very air around them.

Their number was staggering; a single glance revealed a dense forest of them, likely numbering in the hundreds. It truly resembled a demon from the Underworld, a Thousand-Handed Asura, and it erupted with a terrifying aura.

"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!"

The Thousand-Handed Asura shrieked as its hundreds of arms waved ceaselessly, covering every direction as they swarmed toward Yu Changsheng.

HUMMMMM...

Space trembled. The shriek unexpectedly carried a Divine Soul Attack, which exploded first in Yu Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness. Fortunately, his Divine Soul was powerful, so he didn’t suffer much damage.

And so, he simply watched the Thousand-Handed Asura with cold eyes, swallowing the Elixir he held in his mouth. A surge of Medicinal Force replenished his Magical Power as monstrous waves suddenly rose up behind him, crashing toward the creature.

"Vast Sea Without Limits!"

The Profound Turtle trembled slightly. Wave after wave of seawater erupted, unleashing boundless power that enveloped the Thousand-Handed Asura. One by one, its twisted arms were submerged. The display was immense, a surging, magnificent spectacle.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Surging waves exploded one after another. The massive body of the Thousand-Handed Asura bobbed in the Vast Sea, and each time one of its arms struck, space trembled and the great waves churned.

The roaring sound was incessant.

Without a doubt, the Profound Turtle was currently Yu Changsheng’s strongest Spirit Beast. Even though it wasn’t in its final form, it still possessed astonishing combat power.

Yu Changsheng was even confident that with the Profound Turtle alone, he could put up a fight against a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

But he was facing not one enemy, but three—two at the Golden Core Peak and one at the Peak of Golden Core Late Stage. The might unleashed by their combined attack far surpassed that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Therefore, even the Profound Turtle, despite unleashing its full power, was at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng gritted his teeth. He glanced at his four Spirit Beasts and, ignoring the void left by his rapidly draining Magical Power, let out a low roar. In an instant, four immense pillars of light erupted from the four Spirit Beasts.

"Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation!"

Wind, Fire, Wood, and Water!

The four cardinal elements erupted from the four Spirit Beasts, combining and greatly increasing their power.

"Five Elements Beast Technique—Fire, Water, Wood!"

Yu Changsheng whispered, swallowing another replenishing Elixir. Three streams of light shot from his fingers, pointing toward the Profound Turtle, the Red Purgatory, and the Colorful Star Deer.

Empowered by the Five Elements Beast Technique, the already impressive Spirit Beasts were strengthened even further. The might they now unleashed made even Chen Feng look twice.

"Wind-Rolling Thunder!"

The Golden-Winged Eagle flapped its mighty wings, stirring up a gale infused with the power of wind and thunder. The storm, crackling with purple arcs of electricity, charged fearlessly toward the Thousand-Handed Asura!

Although the Golden-Winged Eagle had not yet advanced to Tier Three, empowered by the Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation and the Five Elements Beast Technique, the might it unleashed was already that of a Tier Three beast—and not the least bit inferior.

The storm raged and electricity arced. The great waves had just receded. The Thousand-Handed Asura’s body pulsed with a vast, blood-red light. Its arms, wrapped in arcs of electricity, twitched continuously, a paralyzing sensation spreading through them.

"Evil Fire Purgatory!"

The Red Purgatory roared, striking at almost the same time as the Golden-Winged Eagle. Monstrous flames erupted, surging forth to burn along the Thousand-Handed Asura’s body, endless and inextinguishable.

"Tree Sea Forest!"

The Colorful Star Deer stamped its hoof lightly. It was the same technique as before. Trees and vines, now wreathed in flame, sprang up to bind the Thousand-Handed Asura’s arms one by one. At the very top of the trees, a strange flower suddenly bloomed.

"A Strange Flower Blooms, an Endless Illusion Realm!"

Wondrous ripples spread out. The expressions of the three men controlling the Thousand-Handed Asura froze for an instant. Though it was only for a flash, it was enough for the Spirit Beasts’ attacks to land squarely on the creature.

BOOM!

The Thousand-Handed Asura shrieked. The Evil Fire, the binding Tree Sea, and the thunderous storm all exploded against its body. In that instant, half of the blood threads composing it disintegrated.

"I underestimated you!"

Chen Feng’s expression darkened slightly as he watched Yu Changsheng coldly, without a trace of panic.

"Impressive power. But the gap in our Realms isn’t so easily closed. Give you some more time to grow, and I truly might not be your match. But right now, you’re still too green!" 𝖋𝙧ⅇ

Chen Feng said in a low voice, looking up at Yu Changsheng as the killing intent in his eyes erupted. With a flick of his finger, drop after drop of his fresh blood flowed into the Thousand-Handed Asura.

"ROAR!"

The blood congealed into threads, and the Thousand-Handed Asura’s broken body was fully rewoven in a mere moment. Its hundreds of arms waved, leaving arcs of afterimages. A strange laugh suddenly echoed as an even more terrifying aura erupted from it, disturbing the space all around.

The faces of Chen Feng and his two companions paled instantly, becoming utterly bloodless. They panted, staggering as they did. Clearly, this move came at a great cost to them.

Despite this, the killing intent in their eyes grew even sharper. They once again breathed out toward the Thousand-Handed Asura, their breath transforming into a sinister, howling wind.

’Let’s end this quickly. This boy cannot be allowed to leave here alive!’

’A prodigy like this... If he can’t be used by our Qingzhou Province and is allowed to remain on the Martial Continent, he will only become an endless source of trouble in the future.’

This was what Chen Feng and his companions were thinking. Their perception of Yu Changsheng had completely changed. They now struck with only killing blows, their goal to utterly annihilate him and eliminate a future threat.

"Asura’s Bloodletting, Ten Thousand Lives Wither!"

The Thousand-Handed Asura’s body shuddered. Fueled by the reckless sacrifice of Chen Feng and his men, it grew even more terrifying. Its arms chopped down, unleashing a dense barrage of blood-red Sword Auras that filled the entire sky before raining down on Yu Changsheng.

"Red Prison Shadow Dragon Kill!"

"Water Country’s Immeasurable Calamity!"

The Red Purgatory roared and the Profound Yin Illusion Turtle bellowed, rushing forward to block and unleashing fierce attacks of their own. But it was a pity. At this moment, the might of the Thousand-Handed Asura was so great it even held a sliver of the power of the Purple Mansion Realm. After a single clash, the Red Purgatory wailed as its body was sent flying backward. The Profound Turtle didn’t fare much better; white marks appeared all over its shell.

"Pfft—"

Yu Changsheng’s body sank, and his scalp went numb as a sense of mortal peril washed over him. But he suddenly raised his head to the sky, a crazed look in his eyes.

"Celestial Tribulation, arise!"

Yu Changsheng roared, his hair flying wildly. His aura surged as the embryonic Golden Core in his Qi Sea Dantian began to spin madly. He swallowed the last remaining Elixir refined from the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus in a single gulp.

CRACK... CRACKLE...

It was as if some kind of shackle had been broken. Yu Changsheng’s body trembled. He pointed a finger to the sky and swiped it down fiercely. The next moment, a world-shocking thunderbolt descended from the heavens. It shot toward Yu Changsheng, but also swept over everyone present, including Chen Feng.

This was no thunderbolt formed by a technique. It carried the purest might of heaven and earth, suffused with the Power of Destruction. It was utterly tyrannical, filled with the intent to extinguish all things as it crashed down upon the world!

BOOM!

The Celestial Thunder rolled. With just one strike, Yu Changsheng’s body trembled, turning charred black as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

But the Thousand-Handed Asura was in an even more miserable state. It was positioned right above Yu Changsheng and had absorbed the vast majority of the thunderbolt’s power.

"AHHH...!!"

Shrill screams echoed. In just an instant, nearly half of the Thousand-Handed Asura’s body exploded. The backlash struck Chen Feng and his companions, causing them to bleed from all seven orifices, their auras growing faint and unstable.

But it wasn’t over. One thunderbolt had just fallen when another descended in the very next instant. The power of this second bolt far surpassed the first, a thunderclap born from the void itself, crackling with arcs of electricity.

Yu Changsheng’s eyes were bloodshot. His body flickered, and using Shadow Flash, he clung tightly to the Thousand-Handed Asura. The next moment, the Celestial Thunder was drawn in, gathering its power before crashing down.

BOOM!

This time, the Thousand-Handed Asura’s body shattered completely. Yu Changsheng was not faring well either, his face growing even paler. But Chen Feng and his two companions were in an even worse state.ℴ𝒗ⅇ𝑙.
