Chapter 495: Chapter 494: The Tribulation Cloud That Annihilates Everything

"Alright, we’re here."

Just then, after sensing that powerful aura, Jiang Zuo also felt a scorching heat.

He soon saw that he was standing above a sea of lava.

Within the vast lava was an immense Sealing Power, and in the middle of the Seal was a Seven-Colored Fish.

The moment he saw the Seven-Colored Fish, Jiang Zuo paused. He remembered that the Eight Trigrams Seven-Colored Fish was also a type of Seven-Colored Fish, but thankfully, they didn’t look the same.

One was multicolored, while the other was a single color.

If they were the same species, Jiang Zuo would have been truly bothered.

Besides, trapping a fish in lava... that King Qin Wu was truly ruthless.

But on second thought, it made sense. The point of the Seal was to make the fish suffer. Sealing it in water would just give it a comfortable environment. Lava was its most fitting destination.

Jiang Zuo then looked up and realized they must be deep underground.

At such a great depth, Jiang Zuo wondered how the Celestial Tribulation would descend. It would be bad if it simply erupted underground.

’Hmm.’ Jiang Zuo had already made up his mind. He was going to give it a try. He might just be able to slice off a piece of its flesh.

Jiang Zuo had already assessed the area. The Seal here was perfectly intact. Even if a tiny bit was leaking out, it was completely insignificant.

Moreover, there was a backup Seal, likely a remnant from when the grand configuration of heaven and earth was changed.

In short, it was very safe. It was absolutely worth a try.

There was just one thing he couldn’t be sure of: whether the fish he had eaten in his past life was actually a Seven-Colored Fish.

He remembered that fish being called a Flying Fish, but he didn’t know what it looked like, only its approximate size.

Still, it was a world-class fish, so it should taste decent enough.

Now it all depended on whether the Celestial Tribulation was powerful enough. He could only try and see if he could slice a piece off.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo’s arrival had also alerted the Seven-Colored Fish.

The Seven-Colored Flying Fish watched them with a cold gaze from within the lava, then spoke. "Humans? It’s rare indeed for a human to be able to stand here."

The Seven-Colored Flying Fish then turned to the woman and said, "Chaos? I am about to break free. You have nowhere to run."

The woman grew tense. She couldn’t speak, because she truly couldn’t escape.

She could only hope that after it devoured her, it would spare her daughter.

It was probably a vain hope, but her daughter was about to be taken away. This was an agreement she’d made with that person back then, so she thought it should be fine.

But at that moment, Jiang Zuo spoke up. "Are you... tasty?"

The moment Jiang Zuo asked his question, the woman froze.

Even the fish was stunned.

It wondered if its own ears were playing tricks on it.

’What did that human just say? Am I tasty?’

Instead of growing angry, the Seven-Colored Flying Fish laughed. "Human, you have successfully caught my attention."

"Do you know? I have ten million ways to make you pay a heavy price for what you just said."

Jiang Zuo wasn’t frightened by the Seven-Colored Flying Fish at all. Instead, he asked with a deadpan expression, "What are you, fourteen?"

The Seven-Colored Flying Fish faltered. ’Why does that line sound so familiar?’

Then Jiang Zuo spoke again. "Or has your chuunibyou not been cured yet?"

The Seven-Colored Flying Fish was left speechless.

’That line sounds even more familiar.’

It didn’t understand. ’Do all humans these days like to say things like that?’

Now, the woman was truly terrified by Jiang Zuo. She couldn’t comprehend how he had just said such a thing.

Where on earth did he get the courage to say something like that?

This fish looked small, but it was astonishingly strong, terrifyingly strong, strong enough to make one tremble.

And not only was this man not afraid, he even asked if it was tasty. Was he planning to eat this fish?

Did anyone in this world really dare to eat this fish?

At that moment, she began to suspect that Jiang Zuo might be the same as them—a being of Chaos.

Only Chaos would be so fearless.

’Or is he just an idiot?’

’Ignorant?’

But no matter how she looked at him, Jiang Zuo didn’t seem to have anything wrong with him. So where did that question come from? Had she misheard?

Just as the woman was thinking that she must have misheard, Jiang Zuo spoke again.

"So, are you tasty or not?" Jiang Zuo asked, his face a mask of calm.

To him, there was no need for any particular expression. He was just asking a simple question, wasn’t he?

He used to ask this question often, and people had always answered him. The answer was always the same: not tasty.

At first, Jiang Zuo didn’t quite believe them and had sliced up a few anyway.

It turned out they were right.

In his past life, after trying all sorts of things, he’d found that the Duoling Dog was still the most delicious.

At this, the Seven-Colored Flying Fish’s voice turned icy. "Human, do you have any idea what you are saying?"

Jiang Zuo glanced at it, then shook his head. It seemed he wouldn’t get an answer. He’d just have to find out for himself.

He turned to the woman and said, "Leave me a way to get back, then you can go first. I have some business to take care of."

The woman stared at Jiang Zuo in astonishment. She was worried, not knowing what kind of insane thing he was about to do.

But a crazy idea formed in her mind.

So crazy she couldn’t even believe it herself.

In the end, however, she still left Jiang Zuo a path back.

"You’d better be careful. Even though this place is completely sealed off, it’s still extremely dangerous."

Her daughter’s life practically depended on this man, so she didn’t want this madman to run into any trouble here.

Jiang Zuo said nothing. He simply tried to draw upon his Cultivation to trigger the Celestial Tribulation.

Soon, Jiang Zuo could sense the presence of the Celestial Tribulation. It wasn’t just him; the woman beside him and the Seven-Colored Flying Fish sensed it too.

Both of them were in disbelief. This man actually dared to summon a Celestial Tribulation here? Did he have a death wish?

The woman cried out, "Are you insane? Doing this will destroy the Seal! If it breaks out early, none of us will escape!"

Jiang Zuo looked at her, his expression impassive. "Just go back and watch over your daughter. Besides, who told you that summoning a Celestial Tribulation would destroy the Seal?"

"Haha! Human, you really have caught my attention now! You’re actually going to summon a Celestial Tribulation here?"

Then the Seven-Colored Flying Fish’s voice turned grim. "Human, you will pay the price for your ignorance.

"But don’t worry, that woman can’t affect you. Outside the Deep Sea Cage, she’s nothing but a paper tiger.

"Come on. Summon the Celestial Tribulation and show me."

Jiang Zuo stood his ground, neither speaking nor moving.

But high above the Sea of Seven Emotions, countless tribulation clouds began to gather.

The next moment, everyone looked up. The appearance of the Celestial Tribulation stunned them all.

No one knew what was happening, nor did they know what this was, but everyone knew these were no ordinary clouds gathering.

Because they contained an aura of utter annihilation.
