Chapter 474: Chapter 344: A Talent Envied by the Heavens

Thunderbolts roared. Just two strikes were enough to shatter the body of the immense Thousand-Handed Asura. The backlash struck Chen Feng and his two companions, their faces instantly draining of all color as their auras withered.

In the face of true celestial might, everything else seemed so small and laughable.

RUMBLE!

And those two bolts seemed to be just an appetizer. Above, in the sky, thick tribulation clouds gathered. Thunderbolts flickered within them, layered densely, stretching for miles and continuing to expand.

Celestial Thunder rumbled as a terrifying aura continuously brewed, making one’s scalp tingle and soul tremble as if on the verge of collapse.

"How is this possible? Where did this Celestial Tribulation come from?!"

Chen Feng’s hair was disheveled as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His already weak body became even more fragile. He stared at the tribulation clouds in the sky and cried out in shock, his expression one of utter disbelief.

An intense sense of a life-and-death crisis rapidly spread through his mind and exploded violently.

Wu Huan and Cheng Tao’s reactions were even worse. They felt their very souls trembling. A great, unseen power had locked onto them, impossible to resist. All their techniques were useless before it.

As a result, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. A storm raged in their hearts—a tempest of disbelief that gave way to sheer terror.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!"

Yu Changsheng coughed, his face slightly pale and somewhat scorched. His hair stood on end. He gave the three a cold look, then glanced up at the tribulation clouds, pursing his lips slightly.

"It was you?"

"Aren’t you only at Foundation Establishment Peak? How could you possibly trigger a Celestial Tribulation? At your Realm, how could you be Crossing the Tribulation?"

Suddenly, Chen Feng whipped his head around to look at Yu Changsheng. He couldn’t help but take a step back, pointing at him, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

"No, no!"

Chen Feng shook his head violently and let out a breath.

"This is just a bluff to scare us off, isn’t it? You think it’s that simple?"

His tone was sharp and unnatural.

After all, in his view, his opponent had only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm. It was impossible for him to trigger a Celestial Tribulation and advance to Golden Core.

Cultivation was said to be an act of defying the heavens, but that was really only a concern for High-Tier Cultivators who had reached a certain Realm. Once a Cultivator reached the Late Stage, their power would be immense, allowing them to touch upon the Dao Principles. It was then that every breakthrough would indeed trigger a response from the world’s Dao, forming a Celestial Tribulation that descended to destroy all things.

But that was an experience reserved for High-Tier Cultivators. In his view, it had absolutely nothing to do with a brat like Yu Changsheng, who wasn’t even at the Golden Core Realm.

To put it bluntly, the Celestial Dao couldn’t even be bothered to send down a Celestial Tribulation for a breakthrough from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core. After all, the amount of energy a common Cultivator plundered from the world for such a breakthrough probably wasn’t even a fraction of what was needed to form a tribulation.

Sending a Celestial Tribulation after a Low-Tier Cultivator was a losing proposition, so it naturally wouldn’t happen. Besides, a Celestial Tribulation was an expression of the Power of Heavenly Dao, and Low-Tier Cultivators were nowhere near the level of touching the Dao.

Therefore, even though the terrifying pressure from the tribulation clouds overhead made his scalp feel like it was about to explode, Chen Feng forced himself to remain calm. He immediately looked at Yu Changsheng, his gaze filled with doubt.

"A bluff?" Yu Changsheng sneered, shaking his head. "Why don’t you just wait and see for yourself if it’s real?"

His own physical condition was also poor. He slowly exhaled, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn. Ignoring Chen Feng and his companions, he looked up at the tribulation clouds. With a wave of his sleeve, countless Beast Shadows of Golden-Winged Eagles materialized to form a barrier before him.

"Hm?"

Chen Feng frowned. Watching Yu Changsheng’s actions, he was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. A profound sense of crisis erupted from the depths of his soul.

RUMBLE!

The next moment, from within the tribulation, a purple Thunderbolt as thick as a water bucket came crashing down. It locked onto all four of them—Yu Changsheng, Chen Feng, Wu Huan, and Cheng Tao. Not one bolt, but four, each with a different level of power. The one striking Chen Feng was the most terrifying of all.

Thunder was born from the void. The violent aftershocks spread out like a colossal meteor crashing into a calm lake, stirring up endless waves. The majestic celestial might was displayed in its fullest, most terrifying reality at that moment.

BOOM!

The next instant, Yu Changsheng’s body swelled as his Physical Qi and Blood Power erupted completely. With a low roar, he crossed his arms to defend. The layers of Beast Shadows he had summoned barely resisted the Thunderbolt for a moment before instantly crumbling into ash. The bolt continued its descent with unstoppable, tyrannical momentum, surging down to strike him.

"Ngh!"

Yu Changsheng grunted. Intense lightning enveloped his body, arcs of electricity dancing around his arms. He felt his internal organs churn, an indescribable discomfort washing over him, followed by a numbing sensation that spread through his entire body.

Fortunately, thanks to his powerful physique and the Healing Elixir he had taken beforehand, Yu Changsheng was not seriously injured by the strike. His condition was still relatively intact.

Chen Feng and his two companions, however, were not so lucky. The power of the Thunderbolts that fell on them was far more terrifying than the one that had struck Yu Changsheng.

This Celestial Tribulation, after all, scaled its power according to one’s Realm!

RUMBLE!

As Chen Feng stared in disbelief, the Thunderbolt exploded. A horrifying scream echoed as purple lightning flared. The instant the two collided, Chen Feng’s body detonated into a cloud of blood mist. When the aftershocks dissipated, the mist re-coalesced into his form. He was left half-collapsed on the ground, gasping violently.

His aura was feeble, his face a deathly white. He barely managed to support his staggering body, his gaze on Yu Changsheng now filled with ultimate panic.
