The lightning tribulation, which had lasted for nearly a day, still shrouded the Green Bamboo Spiritual Domain.
Countless people, both inside and out, were watching Chen Jiuyang's tribulation.
Chen Jiuyang's originally radiant physical body was broken and dim.
The Martial Dao Furnace was almost cracked.
However, the human-shaped lightning tribulation true spirit had only gained a few hundred scars, its armor not even broken.
This human-shaped lightning tribulation true spirit was truly too terrifying; even Chen Jiuyang, who suppressed the heavenly prodigies of his generation, could not survive the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Some whispered:
"Qianyang, too arrogant."
"Such an outcome was expected."
Some retorted:
"No... it's not certain yet..."
"That's right, Qianyang still has a few trump cards he hasn't used."
"Qianyang hasn't revealed all his trump cards, which means he hasn't reached the point of utter exhaustion."
Someone familiar spoke.
"Bang—"
Chen Jiuyang coughed up blood violently from another fierce blow from the human-shaped lightning tribulation true spirit, his physical body on the verge of disintegration.
"Just a little more... just a little more..."
With his physical body nearing the state of self-destruction, even the hand holding the Yan Sheng Blade trembled for the first time.
Currently, the Four Gods had reached the other shore and completed their fusion on the Immortal Platform, with only the Earth God still on the Divine Bridge of the Sea of Suffering.
Chen Jiuyang's eyes were firm; he had a premonition that once the Earth God reached the Immortal Platform on the other shore, he would undergo a qualitative leap.
The arrival of the Three Gods on the Immortal Platform had already propelled him into the realm of peerless Great Powers of the Imperial Dao.
He still had several trump cards yet to be played.
He just needed to stall for a little more time. At the same time, Chen Jiuyang felt an inexplicable, unprecedented panic within him.
It was...
The same feeling he had when Yao Zixuan was in trouble.
"My second tribulation has arrived!!!"
Unlike a tribulation, a calamity could not be divined or deduced; even Chen Jiuyang could not fathom its cause.
But it was bound to bring him immense trouble.
Chen Jiuyang stood in a state of unity between heaven and man, his emotions mostly calm, but at this moment, he suddenly became flustered.
"Truly as the former Human Emperor's successor said..."
Chen Jiuyang continued to cough up blood. Since he had stepped into the Martial Dao, he had never fought such a difficult battle.
Blow after blow, Chen Jiuyang's physical body was left in ruins, his coughing incessant, and even the origin of his Qianyang Dao Body had truly been damaged.
This meant that Chen Jiuyang was not merely suffering superficial wounds but had injured the origin of his physical body.
"Why is this Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation so tenacious, and why is crossing the Divine Bridge of the Sea of Suffering to reach the other shore so difficult!"
Chen Jiuyang let out a roar of unwillingness.
Only now did Chen Jiuyang truly understand the hardships faced by heavenly prodigies with inferior aptitude when they advanced.
"Boom!!!"
The human-shaped lightning tribulation true spirit unleashed the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Arrows again, attacking Chen Jiuyang.
An ocean of lightning arrows surged towards Chen Jiuyang, aiming for his annihilation.
It was like the end of the world!
This scene filled many with despair; this single move alone, most Great Powers would not be able to withstand.
"Planting golden lotuses in fire, one finds the true self."
"Between the true self and the Heavenly Will, who is higher, who is lower?"
While being attacked, Chen Jiuyang coughed blood and unexpectedly gained enlightenment, his eyes dimming:
"It's just that there are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens..."
Just as Chen Jiuyang was about to collapse.
"Swish swish swish!!!!"
Immortal light erupted from Chen Jiuyang's broken physical body.
"Rumble!!!"
Chen Jiuyang's physical body was rapidly undergoing metamorphosis. Immortal light surged over his Martial Dao Furnace, and a power and aura belonging exclusively to a peerless Great Power of the Imperial Dao Immortal Platform spread from the Martial Dao Furnace to his five divine palaces, and then throughout his limbs and bones.
"He actually caught up!"
Countless people exclaimed.
The appearance of immortal light signified that Chen Jiuyang's gods had successfully crossed the Divine Bridge of the Sea of Suffering and completely ascended to the Immortal Platform, becoming a peerless Great Power.
"Finally caught up..." Patriarch 'Sleepless' also breathed a sigh of relief.
This tribulation, which had lasted for nearly a day, made him, a 'Tribulation Crossing' peerless Great Power, sweat.
Although the Martial Dao Furnace forged from five great origins was almost invincible in terms of combat power, its tribulation difficulty far surpassed that of ordinary Venerable Realm tribulations by dozens of times.
Even Chen Jiuyang, with his profound foundation, had nearly perished in this heavenly tribulation.
But fortunately...
Immortal light bloomed in all directions, Chen Jiuyang was reborn, and his injuries were completely healed within a few breaths. Then, Chen Jiuyang's aura rapidly climbed, doubling!
The unprecedented Martial Dao Furnace forged by Chen Jiuyang was destined to bring him unparalleled benefits and a deep foundation!
"The heavenly tribulation is about to end."
"The final killing move of this Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is coming."
Everyone's gaze was fixed.
As Chen Jiuyang ascended to the Imperial Dao Immortal Platform.
The human-shaped lightning tribulation true spirit once again stirred up a vast expanse of lightning, injecting all the remaining power of this tribulation into this move. Either Chen Jiuyang would break through the heavenly tribulation, or he would die under it.
The continuously flashing ocean of lightning made countless people's scalps tingle and their faces turn pale.
This level of power was already comparable to the full might of a Tribulation Crossing stage expert, or a Martial Saint's strike, and this was still a heavenly tribulation!
They dared not even imagine how they could survive such a terrifying heavenly tribulation.
"Rumble!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
Thousands upon thousands of lightning forces poured into the fist of this human-shaped lightning tribulation true spirit, and then it was unleashed towards Chen Jiuyang. It was as if the world was being destroyed; at a glance, it was all tribulation power, causing hearts to pound.
And Chen Jiuyang was still undergoing metamorphosis. Even if Chen Jiuyang had trump card moves, he wouldn't have time to use them against this single strike.
"Rumble!!!"
Chen Jiuyang's tiny figure was instantly engulfed in the majestic and terrifying heavenly tribulation.
Countless people stared intently into the lightning tribulation, sensing Chen Jiuyang's aura.
Patriarch 'Sleepless' clenched his fists; even a dignified 'Tribulation Crossing' Patriarch was somewhat distracted at this moment.
He had initially worried if someone would take advantage of the heavenly tribulation to harm 'Qianyang', but with such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, even 'Tribulation Crossing' Patriarchs from other factions would not dare to interfere.
"Rumble!!!"
The sound of lightning was incessant.
The next moment.
An indescribable, immense terror, as if the heavens and earth were rejecting it, descended upon the scene.
Accompanied by those clear words:
"Divine Ability—"
"The myriad races of the mortal world fear me as they do heaven!"
The next instant, even Patriarch 'Sleepless' widened his eyes, and countless people were even more astonished.
The terrifying tribulation lightning was unable to harm Chen Jiuyang.
Threads of immortal light flowed around Chen Jiuyang.
An old monster immediately blurted out, "A forbidden divine ability that defies the heavenly order!"
The heavenly tribulation seemed to be enraged. The Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, which had already exhausted its power, instantly condensed more tribulation clouds, causing souls to tremble.
It was as if heaven and earth were roaring.
However, Chen Jiuyang dispelled this state in the next moment, causing the tribulation clouds that seemed about to increase to instantly freeze.
Then.
"Divine Ability—"
"Heavenly Will is like a blade!"
