Chapter 3019: Chapter 3022: Assassination Attempt

"Fuse!"

A loud shout rang out from the center of that fluctuating space.

Swish swish swish!

The ten-colored Golden Radiance all merged into the Dao Rhythm; the Dao Rhythm flared with dazzling light, then flowed into the Dao Pill.

The Great Dao Aura within the Dao Pill once again surged in a vast tide.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Chi!

At the same time, the space within a hundred meters around Jiang Chen shook even more violently, and fine spatial cracks appeared one after another.

"Not good! With the Power of the Great Dao gone, Brother Jiang’s Domain is about to start collapsing!"

Yue Muchen’s expression changed, and he cried out in alarm.

"Lei Ting, hurry the hell up and come down! As long as the tribulation finishes quickly, it’ll be fine! Hurry the fuck up and descend!"

Tang Jie couldn’t help but curse out loud.

Normally, when a cultivator crosses a tribulation, they all wish the Tribulation Lightning would descend slower, so they can have more time to recover; if it never comes, even better. But right now, everyone couldn’t help praying that this final strike of the alchemical tribulation lightning would hurry up and fall.

Wan Chen’s brows tightened, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Buzz!

A ripple of spatial fluctuation appeared, and Wan Chen abruptly vanished from where he stood.

At the same moment, Li Tianqiong’s eyes also showed a determined look as he bellowed, "Stop him!"

Whoosh!

Li Tianqiong’s figure flickered, shooting at extreme speed toward Jiang Chen’s position.

Si Huang’er and the others’ expressions changed drastically; Yue Muchen, Ren Cangsheng, and Hei Chong erupted with their Domains, sweeping them toward Jiang Chen’s side, while Feng Xuan’er turned into a hurricane and disappeared from where she was.

"Jiang Chen, thanks for your half-step Dao Pill!"

A loud shout sounded, and Wan Chen’s figure appeared in front of Jiang Chen, slamming a vicious palm strike toward him.

"Bastard!"

"You dare!"

"You courting death!"

Everyone roared furiously, but Wan Chen was a Spatial Path cultivator, and he was simply too close. Even though they reacted in time, they were still a step too late!

Buzz!

Just as Wan Chen’s palm was about to smash into Jiang Chen, a fierce gleam flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. Within a hundred meters, a World Projection suddenly appeared, pressing down ruthlessly on Wan Chen.

Wan Chen’s expression changed; in an instant he judged that his palm probably wouldn’t land on Jiang Chen before the World Projection crashed down.

Crack!

An unwilling look flashed in his eyes, and Wan Chen abruptly crushed a Jade Talisman.

Whoosh!

The space shook, and Wan Chen’s body vanished from this region of space.

"A Spatial Transmission Talisman!"

Pang Guang spoke, his face livid.

"Everyone, hurry and pull back, the Tribulation Lightning is about to descend!"

Si Huang’er suddenly shouted.

Yue Muchen and the others halted, turning in unison to look at Li Tianqiong at the side.

At this moment, Li Tianqiong, having charged out first, had already reached a point three meters from Jiang Chen.

Swish!

Without another word, Li Tianqiong flickered back to Si Huang’er and the others’ side, and Yue Muchen, Feng Xuan’er and the rest all retreated.

"Damn it! Wan Chen! Kongling Clan! I’ll remember you!"

A flush of violent rage surfaced in Pang Guang’s eyes as he growled, "Everyone wait here for Brother Jiang to finish his tribulation. I’m going out to find someone to kill that bastard!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Guang took out an Array Talisman, crushed it, and vanished from the space.

Boom-ka!

Just after Pang Guang left, a Lei Ting roar sounded, and the Tribulation Lightning in the sky crashed down, slamming viciously onto the Dao Pill.

Buzz!

The Dao Pill trembled violently, and a faint crack appeared upon it.

Puff!

Jiang Chen opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood; his aura instantly withered to the extreme. His vision went black, his body swayed, and he toppled backward.

Crack crack crack!

A series of shattering sounds rang out as the space within a hundred meters fragmented like a spider web, on the verge of completely collapsing!

"No!"

"Jiang Chen!"

"Xiang Yun, hurry the fuck up and get here!"

Si Huang’er and the others’ faces changed dramatically; they cried out in shock, wanting to rush over to support him, yet worried that entering the range would trigger changes in the Heavenly Tribulation. They could only wait anxiously.

Swish swish swish!

As if sensing everyone’s desperate expectation, a streak of brilliant Golden Radiance shot over at extreme speed, descending directly onto the Dao Pill.

Buzz!

The Dao Pill shuddered, a faint Dao Rhythm emerged, and then darted back into Jiang Chen’s body.

The World Projection vanished, and Jiang Chen’s body slowly floated up.

Swish swish swish!

An even more blazing Golden Radiance appeared out of thin air, shining down over the range of Jiang Chen’s Domain.

The fractures within a hundred meters instantly healed, and the Domain was pressed by the golden light back into Jiang Chen’s body.

A resplendent golden Xiang Yun appeared above Jiang Chen’s head, Golden Radiance continuously pouring down.

Swish swish swish!

The golden Xiang Yun’s color suddenly changed, twelve kinds of radiance cycling in succession, continuously shining into the Dao Pill and Jiang Chen’s body.

"It worked!"

"He’s successfully passed the alchemical tribulation!"

Everyone was overjoyed, calling out in delight.

"But... why are there twelve kinds of radiance?"

Tang Jie looked somewhat dazedly at the Xiang Yun whose colors kept shifting. "Did I count wrong?"

"Are you stupid? Eleven kinds of Great Dao Aura plus the Alchemy Dao makes twelve, doesn’t it?"

Xiang Wuhui rolled his eyes at Tang Jie, but the smile on his face was brilliantly radiant.

Buzz buzz buzz!

An overwhelming sense of pressure poured out from within Jiang Chen’s body.

Si Huang’er and the others’ expressions changed slightly; they hurriedly flew backward, retreating a full hundred and twenty li before finally stopping.

"Th-this... Brother Jiang... has stepped into Saint Realm Peak!?"

Yue Muchen stared dumbfounded at the vast swath of multicolored radiance ten li ahead, his face full of disbelief.

"Holy shit! Just how strong was Brother Jiang’s original strength?!"

Tang Jie was completely dumbfounded, speaking full of shock.

Although refining a Dao Pill can bring enormous gains, most of it is only Great Dao Comprehension. Yet now, Jiang Chen’s strength had actually soared to where his Domain covered a radius of a hundred and ten li.

This was truly beyond everyone’s expectations—after the tribulation, the Auspicious Clouds Tempering usually doesn’t contribute that much to one’s combat power!

Buzz buzz buzz!

As everyone was still in shock, the Domain of multicolored radiance trembled and began to compress inward.

Compressed to fifty li, then expanded again, then compressed once more. As the brilliant light from the multicolored Xiang Yun kept cascading down, Jiang Chen once again went through a cycle of tempering and expanding his Domain.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, twelve streams of differing radiance flew over from the distance, converging around Jiang Chen.

"Those are... twelve treasures?"

"Damn, Brother Jiang actually drew in twelve?!"

Everyone was stunned, staring in amazement at the things around Jiang Chen in the distance—there were Jade Slips, Dao Instruments, bizarre strange objects; in short, all were items corresponding to the twelve Great Dao.

"Everyone, release your auras into my Domain. I’ll help you draw opportunities."

A transmitted voice sounded in the ears of Si Huang’er and the other eight.

The nine all looked delighted; Si Huang’er and the other four unceremoniously channeled their auras into Jiang Chen’s Domain, which was continuously expanding and compressing.

"Many thanks, Brother Jiang!"

"Many thanks, Brother Jiang!"

Ren Cangsheng, Hei Chong, and Li Tianqiong all clasped their fists in salute, then channeled their auras inside.

At this moment, Li Tianqiong was extremely glad he had made the right decision when Wan Chen launched his sneak attack. From what had just happened, Jiang Chen could handle it on his own, and Li Tianqiong’s act of adding a blossom to the brocade had earned him a share of Jiang Chen’s friendship!
