Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Nine Dragon True Tribulation
"Buzz..."
Space trembled, and terrifying energy ripples swept out.
Purple lightning exploded, scattering into the void around.
Under the fierce assault of the ancient finger, the Celestial Tribulation unexpectedly collapsed entirely, disintegrating inch by inch.
"What a terrifying finger!"
In Bicheng, many people couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment on their faces.
In Ji Chen’s finger, they sensed an astonishing aura, a strength far beyond what an ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm level might exhibit.
"Who exactly is this person? Such a powerful finger, its might is completely not inferior to the attack of an ordinary Returning Ruins Realm expert!"
No one could hold back their surprise, knowing the vast gap between Spirit Transformation and Returning Ruins, akin to heaven and earth, entirely incomparable.
After all, those who reached the Returning Ruins Realm level had been baptized by the Celestial Tribulation.
Such figures, exaggeration not necessary, have truly transcended mortal bonds.
Amidst such a gap, a cultivator of the Spirit Transformation Realm, even exerting full force, could scarcely match the attack of a Returning Ruins Realm expert.
Only some unknown geniuses could achieve it!
And now, Ji Chen achieved it, proving he was by no means a nameless individual.
Yet why couldn’t anyone articulate his origin or name?
Where exactly did such a genius emerge from?
"Buzz..."
The Celestial Tribulation collapsed, dissipating into the void.
The terrifying tribulation power also gradually subsided over time.
However, just as everyone thought Ji Chen had successfully passed the tribulation, suddenly, in the void above his head, the cloud sea that just calmed a bit swelled once more.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Dense purple lightning intertwined, thundering roars echoed through the skies.
A tribulation might even more terrifying than before descended, overwhelming the entire Bicheng.
"What’s going on?"
"The cloud sea hasn’t dissipated! There’s still thunder brewing within, could it be..."
"Nine Dragon True Tribulation!"
Exclamations sounded again, spreading throughout the city, even the older generation of strong ones displayed extreme astonishment in their eyes.
"How could it be..."
"Such a Celestial Tribulation mostly only exists in legends, throughout history, very few have actually seen it!"
"It’s the Nine Dragon True Tribulation! Am I dreaming? Such a Celestial Tribulation, I’ve only read about it in ancient records, never thought it truly exists in the world!"
Everyone’s faces were filled with extreme surprise, their hearts in utter disbelief.
"Even the Kunlun Saintess Si Ruyan, possessing the Sun Immortal Body, during her past breakthrough to Returning Ruins Realm, failed to invoke the Nine Dragon True Tribulation. Such Celestial Tribulation is said to have appeared only a few times during the Desolate Ancient Era, and all who invoked it eventually proved themselves as Emperors, truly figures whose names will last through the ages!"
"Emperor’s Talent! Who would have thought, in this era of sparse Spiritual Qi, a genius of such caliber would emerge, who exactly is he?!"
No wonder everyone was surprised, because such a Celestial Tribulation is immensely rare; in thousands of years, it has appeared fewer than can be counted on one hand.
Moreover, anyone who invoked the Nine Dragon True Tribulation became unmatched figures in history, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of the dao, with Emperor’s Names resounding through eternity.
"Boom!"
Amid the discussions of the entire city, the endless high skies saw the rolling sea of thunder boiling as if completely erupting. Finally, after brewing for a while, the second tribulation thunderously descended.
Purple lightning, like a giant dragon, charged downwards from infinity, seemingly locking onto Ji Chen, striking him fiercely.
"Nine Dragon True Tribulation, huh..."
Ji Chen squinted, understanding from the discussions around what was happening.
More importantly, he could feel that compared to the first tribulation, this second one descending was at least twice as terrifying.
"Annihilate!"
Without any hesitation, Ji Chen lifted his head and softly shouted.
Nine Spirit Veins within him vibrated wildly, unleashing endless spiritual power.
Once again, a Void Finger pointed upward, this time Ji Chen also channeled the Supreme Scripture, fusing the Emperor Scripture’s power within this finger, multiplying its might.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
In just the blink of an eye, the ancient giant finger collided with the tribulation.
As if the entire world trembled at this moment, great forces surged, the void roiled and boiled.
Under the gaze of all present, the lightning shattered, each bolt breaking inch by inch under Ji Chen’s finger, dissolving into countless tiny lightning sparks, scattering in the void.
"Records state, the Nine Dragon True Tribulation consists of nine stages, each escalating in power, each more terrifying than the last. Throughout history, this tribulation has only appeared a few times, with only two successfully passing it!" An elder from a certain Sacred Land said.
"Boom!"
Simultaneously, the thunderclouds continued brewing, under public watch, soon forming the third tribulation.
It resembled an Ancient Demon Dragon sweeping in from distant eras, shrouded in terrifying purple electric glows, roaring before descending unstoppably.
"Annihilate!"
Ji Chen shouted, facing the third tribulation’s descent, not retreating but instead ascending to meet it.
In the movement, another finger pointed from a distance.
The Void Finger, fused with the Supreme Emperor Scripture’s power, immensely formidable, collided once more with the tribulation.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
Purple light flourished, engulfing the world, turning the entire scene purple. Countless bolts of lightning fragmented and exploded in the void, appearing momentarily before vanishing.
The third tribulation shattered, once again resisted by Ji Chen.
"Six more, can he successfully pass them all?"
"This is the Nine Dragon True Tribulation appearing in this era of declining laws, hard to imagine what terrifying talent and potential the tribulation challenger possesses?"
"The Celestial Tribulation is merciless, reflecting the will of the Heavenly Dao. Fail to overcome it, no matter how extraordinary you are, in the end, you become just a speck of dust in history."
This is not an empty claim. Throughout history, innumerable geniuses have emerged, but very few make it to the end.
Reaching the pinnacle, famed through eternity, or perishing halfway on the path to ultimate strength, who can say?
