Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! - Chapter 513 Heavenly Tribulation!

Chapter 513 Heavenly Tribulation!
Bai Zihan slowly stepped forward towards Chong Sheng, who lay helplessly on the ground.
For the first time since his rebirth, Chong Sheng had nothing left.
He had done everything in his power, but he couldn’t overturn the result, which he normally was able to.
His fingers twitched slightly, then stilled.
Chong Sheng stared at the ground beneath him.
Silent!
There was nothing left to say.
Nothing left to do.
He had already given everything.
And it still wasn’t enough.
A faint, bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
(So this is how this life ends…)
He wasn’t too afraid of death. He had already died once.
Faced betrayal.
Faced despair.
Faced the end.
Death was no longer something unfamiliar.
But his eyes darkened slightly.
There was regret.
There was anger.
Not toward death-
But toward unfinished business.
(Those people…)
The ones who betrayed him in his previous life.
The ones who schemed against him.
The ones who sent him to his grave in his previous life-
He hadn’t taken revenge.
And now-
He would die again.
A faint killing intent flickered weakly in his eyes.
And then-
There was Bai Zihan.
Chong Sheng slowly lifted his gaze.
Looking at the figure walking toward him.
(I don’t think I have offended him yet.)
He clenched his teeth slightly.
This man had no reason to kill him.
No deep grudge.
No past enmity.
And yet-
From the beginning, he felt like Bai Zihan had intentionally targetted him.
If there was one more chance…
If there was another rebirth…
A cold light flashed in Chong Sheng’s eyes.
(Bai Zihan… You will be first!)
At the very top of his revenge list.
But that was only if there was a next life.
Bai Zihan stopped a few steps away.
Looking down at him.
Just as he was about to act-
The world changed.
Rumble-!!!
A deafening roar echoed across the heavens.
The sky darkened.
The sunlight vanished instantly, swallowed by thick, swirling clouds that
gathered from all directions.
A suffocating pressure descended.
Chong Sheng’s pupils shrank.
Then-
They widened.
Slowly, a grin spread across his face.
He laughed.
“Hahaha…!”
At first, it was low and weak.
But then-
It grew louder.
Filled with madness.
Filled with excitement.
“Heavenly Tribulation!”
His voice trembled-not with fear, but with exhilaration.
His eyes shot upward.
Locking onto the sky.
The clouds churned violently.
Thunder roared within them like furious beasts.
Lightning flickered-
Thick, dense, and terrifying.
And its target was obvious.
Bai Zihan!
Chong Sheng’s laughter grew even louder.
“It’s retribution for breaking the Heavenly Vow!”
His voice was filled with certainty.
With conviction.
With a twisted sense of victory.
He could feel it.
The power within those clouds.
Immense.
Overwhelming. Terrifying beyond reason.
This wasn’t an ordinary tribulation.
This was punishment.
A tribulation meant to destroy.
Even from his weakened state, Chong Sheng could sense it clearly.
The scale…
The pressure…
It was no weaker than the tribulation faced when ascending to the Immortal
Realm.
No-perhaps even stronger.
He had also gone through Heavenly Tribulation when ascending to the Immortal Realm, and the one he faced wasn’t as large as the one above him
now.
The more talented one was, the stronger the Heavenly Tribulation. He, who was desinted to become the strongest Demonic Cultivator has Heavnely Tribulation spanning 10 Miles but right now, it was almost double of
that.
It was certain that Heaven was furious at Bai Zihan.
“Good!”
He laughed again.
“I still have some luck left!”
He muttered.
His voice was hoarse, but filled with life.
Against Heaven-
Who could stand?
Even Peak Great Ascension Realm experts-
Trembled before such tribulations. Countless had perished.
Turned to ash under the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.
And Bai Zihan?
A mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
No matter how monstrous his physique…
No matter how powerful his techniques… How could he possibly survive something like this?
Absolutely impossible!
Chong Sheng’s eyes gleamed.
Filled with anticipation. Filled with vicious satisfaction.
“Bai Zihan…”
He grinned. Blood stained his lips.
“Let’s see how you survive this!” His voice dropped. “Against Heaven itself!”
On the other hand, Bai Zihan himself didn’t look very nervous.
He looked up at the Heavenly Tribulation that was forming.
(Is it because of breaking the Heavenly Vow or-)
He glanced at Chong Sheng, who lay on the ground. Perhaps it was Heaven helping Chong Sheng, who was about to fall into his
hands.
There hadn’t been much consequence when he dealt with other Heavenly
Chosen, and even when he killed a one-star graded Heavenly Chosen, Mo Yichen, there wasn’t any retribution.
Even when Bai Xueqing defeated Nie Fengzhuo, there hadn’t been any
retribution as far as he knew.
Could it be that Chong Sheng was much more favored than others despite
being three-star?
Who knows?
The reason might also be both, as both of these went against Heaven.
A smile appeared on his face.
(Looks like Heaven really wants to kill me!)
He could sense immense power within the sky, and it was certain that it wasn’t
a test but a will to kill him.
***
Bai Zihan stood beneath the darkened sky.
The world had gone silent.
Only the rumbling of thunder remained.
The air itself trembled as if it could not withstand the pressure descending
from above.
Bai Zihan lifted his gaze toward the churning clouds.
Lightning coiled within them like furious dragons, each strand carrying enough
power to erase existence itself.
A faint smile lingered on his lips.
“If this is how it is…”
No hesitation.
No fear.
Only calm anticipation.
If Heaven wanted to kill him-
Then let it try.
His grip tightened slightly on his Eternal Spirit Sword.
Qi surged within his body, circulating at its peak.
Every meridian.
Every strand of qi.
Every ounce of strength-
Mobilized.
He didn’t hold back.
Not even a fraction.
Because this was not something that he could take lightly.
Boom-!!!
The first bolt descended.
A pillar of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the entire world in blinding white.
“Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword!”
His figure split instantly as nine identical shadows scattered in different directions.
Each one moved with perfect synchronization.
A Heaven-Grade technique which was more than enough to deceive even powerful cultivators at Immortal Realm.
But this was Heavenly Tribulation.
The lightning did not hesitate.
It did not waver.
It locked onto him-
The real him.
Boom-!!!
The strike landed on his real self.
The lightning engulfed Bai Zihan completely.
A violent explosion erupted.
The ground beneath him collapsed.
Smoke and dust surged outward.
Deceiving Heaven?
Impossible!
A deafening explosion shook the land.
Bai Zihan’s body was thrown backward.
His defensive artifact activated instantly.
A radiant barrier enveloped him-
A Heaven-Grade treasure.
But-
It lasted less than a breath.
Shatter-!!!
The barrier broke apart like glass.
Fragments of light scattered into the air.
The remaining force crashed into his body.
BANG!
But immediately, Bai Zihan’s figure emerged amidst dust.
His body crackled faintly with residual lightning.
His expression was still calm.
But his brows had furrowed slightly.
(Stronger than expected…)
The first strike was almost equal to a full strike from Peak Great Ascension Realm.
If not for his Artifact, perhaps the result might be worse than this.
However, that still wouldn’t have been enough to kill him.
Before he could adjust-
The second bolt descended.
Faster.
More violent.
Carrying even greater destructive force.
Now that his defensive artifact was destroyed, if the strike landed, it would be
his body alone that would bear the impact.
There was no time to change his defensive artifact either.
Bai Zihan’s eyes sharpened.
“Eternal Flowing Water Sword!”
His sword moved.
A fluid motion.
Like a river.
Gentle-
Yet containing hidden depth.
A defensive technique designed to redirect force.
To deflect attacks.
To flow around power rather than confront it directly.
The lightning struck.
For a moment-
It seemed to bend.
To shift.
To be guided away.
But only for a moment.
Crack-!!!
The technique shattered.
The lightning forced its way through.
Overwhelming and Absolute.
Boom-!!!
The second strike landed.
Bai Zihan landed heavily, sliding across the ground.
This time, directly across his body without any defensive artifact.
A faint scorch mark appeared across his chest.
For the first time-
He was injured.
Chong Sheng’s laughter rang out again.
“Hahaha! Good! Good!”
Even he hadn’t expected it to be this powerful. The power was almost at the
level of Immortal Ascension Cultivator.
But Bai Zihan-
Slowly straightened.
His breathing remained steady.
“So even this body can be injured…”
He glanced at his arm.
The charred mark. The Primordial Chaos Body.
Tempered through countless refinements.
Yet even it could not completely ignore Heaven’s wrath.
But he didn’t look discouraged.
Instead-
A faint smile deepened.
Because he had noticed something else.
The moment lightning struck him, a portion of it entered his body-
And was absorbed.
Moreover, the qi was so pure that it was equivalent to taking a high-grade elixir.
His eyes flickered.
(About 5 percent…)
It wasn’t much.
If not for the overwhelming destructive force-
If not for the fact that he had to focus on surviving-
This could have been the perfect source of cultivation.
Endless.
High-quality.
Beyond compare.
A dangerous thought surfaced-
Then faded.
Now wasn’t the time.
Just taking the second strike, he was almost killed. And it didn’t look like it
would end soon.
Rumble-!!!
The sky roared again.
The clouds churned even more violently.
Chong Sheng’s expression turned even more excited.
Although Bai Zihan had managed to defend against two strikes, the Heavenly
Tribulation would only grow stronger.
The Second Strike was already at the level of Immortal Ascension, he don’t
know what kind of power the Second one would be.
“It’s coming!”
The third strike.
Stronger than the first two combined.
Even Bai Zihan looked up.
His eyes narrowed slightly. The pressure had increased significantly.
Bai Zihan exhaled slowly.
He adjusted his stance. His grip on the sword tightened.
His aura rose once more.
“Come!”
He spoke calmly.
A challenge-
To the sky itself. Above-
The lightning condensed. More terrifying than before.
Then- It fell!
