Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 948: Chapter 947 [Purple Heavenly Tribulation, Descends Again?]

[Requesting rewards, is there a brother bold enough to become the Alliance Hierarch?]

The aura of the old fellow Du Mie enveloped the entire Five Poison Sect. It was powerful and terrifying, truly worthy of someone with a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, reaching a level that made people tremble. In front of Du Mie, Ye Tianchen, Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Xie Yuhe, the five of them, purely in terms of cultivation realm, found it very difficult to overcome Du Mie. Even if Ye Tianchen used his realm to surpass ranks and fight, according to his estimation, he could at best battle someone at the Early-stage Martial Saint level. He wasn’t yet familiar with triggering the realm of surpassing ranks at will, and maintaining it would only last for two hours at most. The realm of surpassing ranks was mysterious and profound, and Ye Tianchen still hadn’t figured it out. What is the deal with this sudden multiplication of combat power? How can he trigger it at any time, or is there possibly room for improvement?

”Old geezer, I’m coming to kill you!”

Ye Tianchen roared loudly; at this point, there was no turning back. He had no choice but to brace himself for a fierce battle. While the four beauties from the Ancient Martial Sect, Qing Chengyue, had not yet reacted, he transformed into a streak of golden light, charging towards the old fellow Du Mie.

A punch was thrown towards Du Mie, filled with an unbelievably domineering force, echoing like thunder. Du Mie coldly glanced over, surprised at heart. He was a fellow who had lived over a thousand years, and in terms of battle experience and knowledge, there were almost none on Earth who could surpass him. As Ye Tianchen launched his punch, an overwhelmingly powerful force approached with the invincible demeanor of an Overlord. One couldn’t help but think, this child has extremely high talent. No wonder he could reduce the Five Poison Sect to this state with only a Mid-stage Martial Venerate level of cultivation. If he hadn’t emerged from seclusion, the Five Poison Sect might have been destroyed!

”A mere ant also dares to flaunt martial arts divine skills before me, seeking death!” Du Mie said disdainfully, and similarly struck out with a palm.

It was still the Five Poison Palm. To say that the old fellow Du Mie only knew this one martial arts divine skill was impossible. The only plausible explanation was that Du Mie didn’t take Ye Tianchen and the other four seriously, believing this one martial arts divine skill was enough, sufficient to shock kill the five of them. Why waste his martial arts true power?

In terms of Du Mie’s current state, having been in seclusion for hundreds of years, he always kept his essence energy at a very low consumption level, intending to live a few more years. Now forced out of seclusion, burning his essence energy, he unleashed part of his Mid-stage Martial Saint power. To return to that ”dormant” state was now impossible; he was doomed. Regardless, he naturally still wanted to preserve most of his martial arts true power, hoping to use his great divine power to return to that state after annihilating Ye Tianchen and others, to live a few more years, maintaining an undying appearance, which was undoubtedly his desire.

Bang!

The force between the punch and palm collided, sending Ye Tianchen flying back. After spinning around in the air a few times, he barely steadied himself. Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Xie Yuhe — the four beauties from the Ancient Martial Sect — exchanged glances, nodding solemnly. They knew the old fellow Du Mie was too powerful; it was very likely they would die here. However, since they chose to come together to destroy the Five Poison Sect, to fight side by side, how could they retreat at such a moment? Even though they were all injured, with Ye Tianchen remaining the strongest in combat power, they wouldn’t let him bear the burden alone; they were all prepared to fight with all they had until the last moment.

But, just when Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, and Xie Yuhe were prepared to act, suddenly four strands of Chaos Qi came down, catching them off guard, entangling them. They all couldn’t help but look up. They hadn’t realized when Ye Tianchen’s Supreme Treasure ”Holy Heaven Prison” had already hovered above them, continuously rotating, and the Chaos Qi tightly entwined them, making it impossible to break free.

”Ye Tianchen, what is the meaning of this?” Qing Chengyue frowned and asked coldly.

”It means nothing, you guys go first, I’ll catch up later!” Ye Tianchen said.

”Tianchen, it’s too dangerous for you alone, let us lend you a hand,” Tianshuang quickly said.

”Tianchen, we promised to fight together until the end. Doing this is going back on your word,” Dongfang Meng said somewhat displeased.

”Is this guy planning to take it all on by himself? I don’t want to say he has a manly style; I just want to say he’s a fool. Even if we five join forces, we’re not necessarily a match for the old Du Mie. Can he handle it alone?” Xie Yuhe shook her head.

”You all leave now; don’t get in the way. With such low combat power cultivation, yet wanting to be my burden and hindrance, don’t you feel ashamed?” Ye Tianchen deliberately said.

In the moment before Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang’er, and Xie Yuhe could speak again, the Holy Heaven Prison was already spinning rapidly, taking them toward the Five Poison Sect. Du Mie the Old Guy took one look and, of course, didn’t want to let the four of them slip away, immediately giving chase in the direction where the ”Holy Heaven Prison” was flying off. However, Ye Tianchen had already anticipated this scene, and he activated his Divine Movement Skill in advance, blocking Du Mie the Old Guy’s path. Holding the Taie Sword, he unleashed a web of Sword Qi to enshroud the surroundings, preventing Du Mie from pushing forward.

”Taie Sword? Chaos Qi? I didn’t expect such Supreme Treasures on you, all of these belong to me now!” Du Mie sneered coldly.

”Yours? The moment you awakened from that dormant state, you were destined not to live any longer, already at the end of your rope. I’m afraid you won’t gain anything and will lose your life instead.” Ye Tianchen replied coldly in the same manner.

”Calling you an ant doesn’t even register with you. Let me show you what the despair of an ant truly feels like...”

Swish!

Du Mie the Old Guy executed a strike. His sword stroke was extraordinarily powerful, enveloping the entire Five Poison Sect, sending a gargantuan and unstoppable sword light hurtling toward Ye Tianchen. In front of this sword light, Ye Tianchen indeed appeared as small as an ant. This was Du Mie the Old Guy’s contempt and his disdain for Ye Tianchen, seeking to kill him like he would an ant. His Black Sword was bizarre beyond measure, able to transform into a Poisonous Snake, which in turn could revert to the Black Sword. Qing Chengyue and the others were nearly killed by this one move, and now Du Mie casually unleashed an even more violent wave of Sword Qi, devastating everything. Ye Tianchen felt the overwhelming power of destruction; the old guy was not easily manageable, leaving him no choice but to unleash his backup plan, or else he wouldn’t withstand it.

”Crossing Tribulation!”

Suddenly, with a loud shout, Ye Tianchen faced the overwhelming sword wielded by Du Mie. Without the Treasure ”Holy Heaven Prison” in hand, even the Taie Sword might not withstand a strike from Du Mie, who wielded Mid-stage Martial Sovereign cultivation. Yet, Ye Tianchen somehow still had a backup plan and was intending to Cross Tribulation?

Rumble!

Above Ye Tianchen’s head, a tribulation cloud formed once more, turning entirely purple, a sight that shocked everyone, even making Du Mie the Old Guy’s heart skip a beat. What’s going on? He chose to Cross Tribulation at this moment? Hadn’t he just finished crossing a tribulation? Was he restarting, or did he not complete the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation earlier?

The situation was complex, and even Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang’er, and Xie Yuhe, who were taken away by the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” were startled, not knowing what was happening. Why had Ye Tianchen’s Heavenly Tribulation condensed again? Hadn’t he completed the previous Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, or was he crossing another one? The former was surprising, while the latter seemed incredible.

Should Ye Tianchen not have completed the earlier Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, it would make sense if it was suppressed by his powerful Divine Skills. But the latter case, a continuous crossing of two Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulations, equates to the elevation of his Cultivation Realm twice, and such feats are seldom accomplished, even through history.

In truth, only Ye Tianchen himself understood. He had already crossed the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, just one step away from advancing to the Late Martial Venerate Cultivation Realm. Even the tribulation cloud had been dispelled by him, but sensing danger to Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang’er, and Xie Yuhe, he forcibly activated his inner Martial Arts True Power and suppressed the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation with Chaos Qi within the ”Holy Heaven Prison.” Now, with the ”Holy Heaven Prison” safeguarding the four, Ye Tianchen could no longer hold back, suddenly unleashing the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, also hoping to land a severe blow on Du Mie the Old Guy.

What Ye Tianchen didn’t expect was that his forced suppression of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation now led to a full restart, with a newly formed purple tribulation cloud that was even more formidable than before. Even the tribulation cloud had turned purple. Was this a move by heaven itself intent on annihilating Ye Tianchen?

”Damn it, even the tribulation cloud has turned purple. Does it mean every drop of Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation would be a Purple Thunder Punishment? Such formidable Thunder Punishment— with the Undying Golden Body Skill, nearly Immortal, even that might not withstand several strikes of this Purple Thunder Punishment.” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

”A purple tribulation cloud? Purple Thunder Punishment? Hahaha, boy, heaven spares no forgiveness for you and insists on annihilating you. This is the consequence of disrespecting heaven and the earth and daring to suppress the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation forcibly. You are bound to die if you incur heaven’s wrath in the future.” Du Mie the Old Guy, having reached this cultivation realm, naturally understood what the purple Thunder Punishment tribulation cloud signified. It is among the most perilous of tribulations a Martial Artist could cross, where heaven denies the existence of the Martial Artist or inhibits the growth of monstrous talent, raining down violent Thunder Punishments. Countless prodigies have perished under such tribulations, and Du Mie did not believe Ye Tianchen would succeed in crossing it... (To be continued.
