Chapter 528 - 526: Forbidden God Law, Chu Sheng’s Anger
Meanwhile.
Inside the Hall of Spiritual Artifacts, Chu Sheng had just broken free from his cocoon.
He hadn’t even had time to get used to his new body, his eyes still hazy with confusion, when he felt a terrifying surge of energy wash over him.
He instinctively looked up, only to see a flash of purple-black light.
"BUZZ BUZZ (Holy crap, what is that?!)"
Chu Sheng’s vision went black. An irresistible force slammed into him, knocking him out of midair and smashing him hard into the rubble below.
"???"
Chu Sheng’s mind was a complete blank.
’Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?’
At that same moment, not far away, Qin Tianwen and the two Elders were sent flying by the aftershock!
...
Everyone fifty li away saw the scene unfolding in the underground palace with perfect clarity.
"The target of this Celestial Tribulation is Gu Yuexi’s Contracted Beast!"
"It’s a mosquito!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"The Great Xia Divine Mosquito... Isn’t he not even at the King Realm yet? How could he possibly trigger a Celestial Tribulation!"
"This... how is this possible! What in the world is going on?"
No one knew what was going on.
But the third bolt of tribulation lightning was already descending!
This time, with nothing to block its path, the purple-black lightning shot straight toward Chu Sheng with incredible speed!
On the ground.
Chu Sheng had just managed to fly out of the rubble when he was once again violently smashed back down by the terrifying energy.
And,
this time, he was driven even deeper!
"..."
Fifty li away, there was dead silence.
The lightning bolts finally paused.
But the tribulation cloud did not disperse. It seemed to be brewing an even more powerful strike.
"Did you guys feel that? The aura the mosquito just revealed... it seems to be at the King Realm."
"Just a little while ago, he seemed to be at the Eighth or Ninth Grade."
"Could it be because he’s too monstrously talented, and the heavens won’t allow it?"
"That’s right. There are precedents of Demon Beasts triggering lightning tribulations when they evolve, although it is extremely rare..."
"To be able to attract a lightning tribulation means it is truly heaven-defying. But the price of defying the heavens is to be taken away by the Celestial Tribulation. That’s just fate."
"This was only the third bolt. Tribulations usually have six, nine, or even twelve bolts! I’m afraid this mosquito is going to fall here today!"
Among the crowd watching this scene, some sighed, some shook their heads, and some gloated over his misfortune.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the ruins in the deep pit on the ground.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the fourth bolt of lightning was already beginning to gather.
This time, it brewed for much longer than the first three. The purple-black lightning snaked through the tribulation cloud, letting out a dull roar as if the very heavens were enraged.
Its power was far greater than the previous three.
In the pit, Chu Sheng finally managed to shakily fly up again.
He looked up at the fourth bolt gathering in the sky, a grave look flashing in his compound eyes.
’Damn it, what’s going on? I just woke up and I’m already about to get struck by lightning?’
’System, get out here! What the hell is going on?’
’You never said there’d be a Celestial Tribulation after evolution!’
Chu Sheng decisively called for the system in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Emergency situation detected. Analyzing...]
Just as the system’s voice sounded,
The fourth bolt of lightning arrived!
BOOM!
This time, the lightning had a sound!
A sound that seemed as if it could tear the sky apart...
Chu Sheng was cursing inwardly, but his body was already honestly mobilizing all its power. The golden markings from his recent evolution began to glow, and a majestic aura surged from within him.
He prepared to face it head-on.
However—
Just as the fourth bolt of lightning was about to strike,
A figure descended from the sky.
It was a young girl.
She stood before Chu Sheng, her slender frame now like a mountain, shielding him from the impending heavenly lightning.
Gu Yuexi.
She turned and glanced at Chu Sheng.
In that one look, there was blame, heartache, lingering fear, and... a faint smile.
"Don’t be afraid, you damn mosquito."
Chu Sheng was momentarily stunned.
The purple-black lightning had already struck Gu Yuexi.
"AHHHH!"
An incredibly powerful aura erupted from Gu Yuexi in an instant! She cried out, charging up to meet it, soaring into the air just as she had when facing the Celestial Tribulation in her past life.
RUMBLE!
Amidst the tremendous roar of thunder,
The system’s voice finally sounded again:
[Analysis complete]
[Detected that this planet (Blue Star) once had a Heaven and Earth Law forcibly imposed upon it by an unknown entity—]
[Law contents: "Forbidden God"]
[Any life form attempting to break through to the Divine Realm will trigger a lightning tribulation far more powerful than a normal Celestial Tribulation, thereby preventing their ascension to godhood.]
[Although the Host’s current evolution is only to the King Realm, the aura triggered during the evolution was too intense and unique, crossing the Law’s warning threshold.]
[Therefore, the Celestial Tribulation was triggered.]
’What the hell?’
’The "Forbidden God" Law?’
’What is this crap?’
Chu Sheng was both shocked and furious... ’So this was also a reason for the Little Empress’s failure to overcome her tribulation in her past life!’
’Who was it?’
’Who forcibly added this restrictive Law to the entire planet?’
...
BOOM... RUMBLE...
The echo of the lightning reverberated between heaven and earth.
The fourth bolt of the tribulation had passed!
Gu Yuexi had blocked it!
She slowly descended back to the ground, a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.
When Chu Sheng saw that trace of crimson, a strange emotion flickered in his heart.
This time, he was truly getting angry.
He vaguely sensed a giant hand manipulating everything! And for the first time, he felt a powerful urge to tear that hand to shreds.
He spoke to the system in his mind again.
This time, he spoke in a commanding tone:
’You should have detected this problem long ago!’
’Therefore, this is your mistake.’
’I demand that you give me a solution right now.’
As Chu Sheng’s thoughts faded,
the system fell silent.
But he didn’t care.
If the system didn’t offer a solution, he had his own.
’So what if it’s a Celestial Tribulation?’
’This is a perfect chance to test the combat power of my tenth complete evolution!’
...
In the sky, the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning finished brewing.
Just as Chu Sheng was about to make his move,
the system’s voice suddenly rang out:
[This system did indeed make a partial error. A solution has now been provided.]
[The Host only needs to spend 1 Evolution Point to temporarily upgrade the "God-devouring Needle" to Level 99 for 60 seconds.]
Chu Sheng was momentarily stunned.
Then, he smiled.
’Alright then.’
’Smart move.’
BOOM!
The fifth bolt of tribulation lightning finally came crashing down.
The power of this bolt was more terrifying than the previous four combined.
Gu Yuexi still stood protectively in front of Chu Sheng, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, completely unafraid!
"You damn mosquito, if I get to be reborn again, I hope I can still meet you."
Her soft voice trailed off as she raised her Divine Sword, about to face the lightning.
But, a mosquito leg suddenly rested on her shoulder.
It pulled her back.
"BUZZ BUZZ (Nice try. Getting addicted to being this mosquito’s master?)"
"BUZZ BUZZ (Don’t worry, this mosquito’s got it!)"
Gu Yuexi froze... Then she saw a giant mosquito shoot up into the sky at incredible speed, turning into a streak of light!
The streak of light ascended higher and higher!
It shot straight into the tribulation cloud.
BOOM!
