Chapter 498 - 497: Judgment Celestial Punishment

Chapter 498: Chapter 497: Judgment Celestial Punishment

Jiang Zuo’s expression was incredibly grim, and a firestorm of rage burned within him.

He saw Su Qi. He saw Su Qi covered in wounds. He saw Su Qi, so weak she could barely stand. He saw Su Qi being hunted down.

His anger threatened to shatter his reason.

But right now, Jiang Zuo appeared calm. Impossibly calm. Calmer than he had ever been.

He turned to face the Seven-Colored Flying Fish, an icy voice escaping his lips. "Was this your doing?"

The Seven-Colored Flying Fish was surprised by Jiang Zuo’s Celestial Tribulation, but that was all.

Make it feel fear?

This was nowhere near enough.

The Seven-Colored Flying Fish understood Jiang Zuo’s question.

It then said, "Human, did you think I couldn’t get out? Did you think this Seal was so secure?

Once I obtain that woman’s body, I will make you all remember the terror of being ruled by me."

’At that moment, Jiang Zuo wanted to laugh. He wanted to roar with laughter.’

’He wanted to laugh at the entire world.’

’What was this fish doing?’

’Was it putting on a show of force?’

’Was it proud?’

’Was it showing off?’

’Was it trying to seize her body?’

’No. That wasn’t it.’

’It was courting death.’

’It was provoking someone it should never have provoked.’

’It was harming someone it should never have harmed.’

’It was walking the path to its own annihilation.’

At that moment, it landed on Jiang Zuo’s kill list.

At that moment, it had truly infuriated Jiang Zuo.

At that moment, it had awakened Jiang Zuo’s madness.

At that moment, it was about to bear the full force of Jiang Zuo’s wrath.

Jiang Zuo didn’t look at the Seven-Colored Flying Fish. He didn’t scream or shout. He didn’t say a word.

He tilted his head to the sky and raised his middle finger.

An icy voice followed. "Weak. Ass. Celestial. Punishment."

Jiang Zuo’s actions stunned the Seven-Colored Flying Fish. ’What is this person doing?’

’Is he mocking the Celestial Tribulation?’

’A Celestial Tribulation can’t be taunted, can it?’

And it wasn’t just the fish.

Everyone outside was stunned as well.

They couldn’t see clearly, so they didn’t know what Jiang Zuo was doing at first.

Just then, someone asked, "What’s he doing? Pointing at the sky and making some grand proclamation?"

"Probably. After all, no one can survive a Celestial Tribulation like this, right? So he’s making a grand proclamation to psych himself up."

"I don’t think so. Did you guys see? It looked like he used his middle finger, not his index finger."

"Yeah, yeah, I thought it was his middle finger too. Besides, if he were making some grand proclamation, shouldn’t he be screaming his head off? This guy isn’t making any big gestures at all."

"Then what does he mean? Is he mocking the Celestial Tribulation?"

This person’s words stunned everyone into silence.

Mocking the Celestial Tribulation?

What kind of move was that?

Everyone had their own theories, but no one knew what had been said or could see clearly what was happening. For the moment, they were all uncertain.

But in the distance, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said, "That person definitely used his middle finger. He’s absolutely mocking the Celestial Tribulation."

Chen Yi was astonished. He said, "Then that person can’t be Boss Po Xiao, can he? Boss Po Xiao wouldn’t do something like this. Giving the middle finger... he’s never done that before, has he?

And what’s with mocking the Celestial Tribulation?

Does a Celestial Tribulation even have consciousness?

Can it be taunted?"

Chi Xue Child was also shaken. This was probably the most shocked he’d been in his entire life.

"So," Chi Xue Child asked, "has anyone here ever seen someone mock a Celestial Tribulation? Do you know what the consequences are?"

Liu Yiyi shook her head. "I have no idea. I’ve never heard of anything like it. But it takes all kinds to make a world, I suppose. There’s bound to be one or two crazies out there, right?"

At this, she subconsciously glanced at Demon Cultivator Mo Yan.

Mo Yan flinched under the stare and immediately said, "Don’t you dare make baseless accusations! I’m not an idiot. Why would I do something so suicidal?"

Mo Yan might have been a troublemaker, but mocking a Celestial Tribulation?

She’d have to be insane.

No one knew the consequences of mocking a Celestial Tribulation, so why would she be the first one to try it?

The most she ever did was help look for a Clothes Tomb or occasionally say hi to people.

She was always very well-behaved.

"But is that person really about to die? A Celestial Tribulation like this has never been seen before, has it?" Xiao Xiaomo asked.

No one knew the answer to that question, and no one could provide one.

At least, no one among them could.

Just then, Liu Yu suddenly shouted, "Look! Everyone, look!"

They then saw that the tribulation clouds, which had been churning steadily, suddenly froze, as if they had jammed.

Everyone froze, subconsciously gulping.

They thought of a possibility: the Celestial Tribulation was about to transform.

And they were right. The Celestial Tribulation transformed instantly.

After jamming, the tribulation clouds began to churn again, now several times faster than before.

As the clouds churned, four bolts of Celestial Thunder fell from the sky.

They struck down at four separate corners.

The bolts descended until they touched the sea, then shot back up, repeating the motion over and over.

Their movement grew faster and faster, until they were moving too quickly for anyone to track.

So fast that in a flash, four figures made of lightning appeared.

These four figures were colossal, their heads touching the sky and their feet planted on the sea.

They stood at the four cardinal points, their hands resting on the hilts of their greatswords.

At that moment, the Thunder Warriors fully manifested. A tremendous pressure and a terrifying aura instantly swept across the scene, forcing everyone to tremble before the Celestial Punishment.

Then, everyone once again received a message broadcast from the tribulation itself: Judgment Celestial Punishment.

Judgment Celestial Punishment. This wasn’t a mere Celestial Tribulation; this wasn’t an ordinary tribulation crossing.

This was judgment. This was Celestial Punishment. This was annihilation. This was utter erasure.

It was meant to deliver a final, fatal blow to the Cultivator.

No one knew what triggered a Judgment Celestial Punishment, but they knew that it was impossible for anyone to survive it.

Let alone pass through it.

A Tier Three! How could a Tier Three possibly face a Celestial Punishment like this?

What could he possibly use to fight back against a Celestial Punishment?

This wasn’t something a human could accomplish. It wasn’t something any Cultivator could do.

"Fall back! Fall back now!" An Xi shouted to Gu Jiansheng.

They couldn’t stay. They absolutely could not linger here. They had to get far away from the Judgment Celestial Punishment, or risk getting caught in the crossfire.

And then, she realized something terrifying.

If this person could actually survive such a Celestial Punishment, then they must never try to kill him. They must never even provoke him.

It would mean death. Certain death in the future.

An existence like that was simply not something she could ever hope to oppose.

’To trigger this kind of Celestial Punishment just by advancing from Tier Two to Tier Three... is that something a human is capable of?’

An Xi felt a flicker of fear. To think a human could actually reach such a level.

Just managing to trigger it was enough to shake the entire Cultivation Realm.

If he actually survived it... that would be beyond terrifying.

Everyone was falling back. Even the people who had been in a state of chaos snapped out of it, scrambling and crawling to get away.

The giant whale had already disappeared somewhere.

The ones in the worst predicament were the Flying Fish in the Sea of Seven Emotions. They had to face the Judgment Celestial Punishment head-on.

The moment the four Thunder Warriors appeared, more than half of the Flying Fish were instantly killed or wounded.

They were all trapped within the bounds of the Judgment Celestial Punishment.

Su Qi was also inside the area, but she wasn’t greatly harmed. Instead, the pressure forced all the Flying Fish down into the sea, where they began to rapidly disintegrate.

These beings could not resist the Judgment Celestial Punishment.

’How terrifying,’ Su Qi thought. ’Is that person crazy? He actually provoked the Celestial Tribulation on purpose.’

Su Qi found it a little strange.

She didn’t dwell on it, though, instead looking for a place to hide.
