Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 949: Chapter 948 [Realm of Late Martial Venerate Cultivation]

”Old fool, let’s both taste the wrath of this Purple Thunder Punishment!”

When the first bolt of Purple Thunder Punishment struck down, Ye Tianchen executed the Divine Movement Skill, dashing toward the old poison master at top speed, startling him into a quick retreat. It must be said, Du Mie’s combat experience was extremely rich. He knew that Ye Tianchen might attempt to kill him with the world-shattering Thunder Punishment Heavenly Tribulation, just as he had done with Du Tianqi. Hence, he had long prepared for this. As Ye Tianchen launched himself towards him, the old poison master swiftly sidestepped, determined not to be touched by Ye Tianchen’s Purple Thunder Punishment. This kind of Purple Thunder Punishment could destroy the heavens and the earth. Martial artists who have survived its onslaught are so rare from ancient times to now that they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. All those who passed through such a trial are exceptionally powerful, defying the heavens like monstrous geniuses.

At this point, Ye Tianchen stood at the peak of the combat power he could achieve, triggering a realm where he could battle across levels, amplifying his combat power several times over. Like an Overlord, he charged at the old poison master, who swiftly dodged. But just as Ye Tianchen was about to catch up with him, the old poison master suddenly stopped, turning to watch Ye Tianchen with a cold smile, ”You little brat, your intelligence is still too low to play with me. Do you really think I’m afraid of this Purple Thunder Punishment? Let me tell you, when I attained the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, I overcame the same purple punishment. It can’t hurt me!”

Wow!

The old poison master was so powerful and domineering that he wasn’t afraid of being touched by Ye Tianchen’s Purple Thunder Punishment. He formed a massive hand to grab Ye Tianchen, intending to crush him to pulp.

Bam!

Ye Tianchen launched an Overlord Fist, transforming himself into a ray of Golden Light, charging toward Du Mie. Du Mie frowned, not expecting Ye Tianchen to dare meet him head-on. At that moment of hesitation, the claw of Martial Arts True Power continued to grab at Ye Tianchen, while his black sword swung, releasing a strange Sword Qi. That Sword Qi transformed into a massive black snake, opening its bloody maw, attempting to devour Ye Tianchen.

Thud!

The claw falling toward Ye Tianchen was blocked by his Overlord Fist’s force. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Tianchen escaped from below the old poison master’s grasp. Facing the black snake transformed from Sword Qi, Ye Tianchen grabbed it with one hand, and the snake’s mouth was no more than a hundred meters away from him.

Swish!

Suddenly, from the mouth of the snake held by Ye Tianchen, a Sword Light shot out. At such a close distance and so suddenly, Ye Tianchen was caught off guard. Though he reacted quickly to dodge, the Sword Light still swept across his left shoulder, causing blood to drip continuously. In just a face-off, he was already severely injured. Despite using all his strength, standing at a level above cross-realm combat, his cultivation realm could contend with strong opponents of the Early-stage Martial Saint Realm. However, facing a figure like Du Mie, who was at the Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation, he struggled to cope. Moreover, this cross-realm combat state was simply a multiple increase of combat power without narrowing the true cultivation realm gap. It was also a state Ye Tianchen inadvertently triggered. He hadn’t fully grasped it yet, and there was still much unknown about this state.

”Even if you have some abilities, even if you could be considered an anomaly, in front of me, Du Mie, there’s no such thing as a favored child of Heaven; you must die!” Du Mie said, looking at Ye Tianchen with overwhelming dominance.

Ye Tianchen did not speak. Indeed, Du Mie’s combat power and cultivation realm were quite astonishing. He wasn’t even afraid of the Purple Thunder Punishment Heavenly Tribulation. This old fellow had reached a formidable level. Based on what he himself said, he had once endured such a Purple Thunder Punishment and survived, indicating he had considerable experience and strength. Relying on such a Purple Thunder Punishment to kill him seemed quite challenging. Unless it was a Thunder Punishment Heavenly Tribulation, one level higher, it might be possible.

To say that Ye Tianchen recklessly came to annihilate the Five Poison Sect was impossible. He wasn’t mindless, and had made certain preparations. Successfully utilizing his Thunder Punishment Heavenly Tribulation, he had eradicated Du Tianqi and destroyed majority of the Five Poison Sect. It wasn’t until the old fool, Du Mie, could no longer hold back and emerged, that he revealed, in Ye Tianchen’s scheme, there was still a backup that could destroy the entire Five Poison Sect. But unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t use it lightly. To obliterate the Five Poison Sect thoroughly, he had to root out Du Mie, ensuring the old relic had no chance of survival; otherwise, the future would be full of endless troubles.

”Then let it come. Experience this Purple Thunder Punishment, and let it descend upon the entire Five Poison Sect.”

Ye Tianchen shouted loudly while simultaneously slashing towards the purple tribulation cloud above him with his sword, releasing all his resistance and allowing the purple thunder punishment to strike him.

Dozens of purple thunder punishments descended. Ye Tianchen stood in place, unmoving, as the seals formed by his hands continually transformed. The Magic Cube Cage returned. In that fleeting moment, Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang Er, and Xie Yuhe were sent far away. With a thought, Ye Tianchen suspended the ”Holy Heaven Prison” above his head, and wisps of chaos energy cascaded down, protecting him within. Du Mie furrowed his brow, sneering as he said, ”Your use of this supreme treasure is far from enough. Chaos energy is powerful and mysterious, far beyond this level of force. It’s a pity you can’t use it to save your life. I shall witness your complete obliteration.”

After Du Mie finished speaking, he sat cross-legged high in the air. The black sword in his right hand transformed into a giant black snake, coiled above his head. The snake’s eyes were deep and terrifying, malicious and poisonous, ceaselessly exhaling eerie vapors. Meanwhile, black runes appeared around him, continuously flashing, resembling little black snakes flicking their tongues, decomposing the surrounding energy.

Boom!

Dozens of purple thunder punishments crashed down, shaking the entire Song Mountain Ancient Martial World. The Five Poison Sect was razed to the ground, leaving nothing behind within a thousand-mile radius, nothing but rolling black smoke and dust in the sky, where Ye Tianchen and Du Mie’s figures had vanished, replaced by earth-shattering power.

This time the shaking was truly great. Not only did the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World tremble, but the two other far-flung ancient martial worlds also quaked. As martial artists sensed this earth-shattering force, the entire Earth was trembling as if a massive earthquake had struck, overflowing with a sense of terror.

Needless to say, the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World was certainly the most shaken, but the remaining Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World and Penglai Ancient Martial World were also shocked. Martial arts experts were astonished, and even old figures who had been in seclusion for a long time, barely breathing yet capable of determining Earth’s fate, opened their eyes in the direction of the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World, extending their divine radiance in wonder. Earth, having endured millions of years, has rarely seen such disturbance. Is it because a heaven-defying demon has emerged? Or is Earth on the brink of destruction, with this cultivation ground reaching its last standing remnant?

After a full five hours, a slight sign of calming energy appeared over the Five Poison Sect. A figure emerged in the sky; Du Mie still sat cross-legged in place, but the black snake above his head was riddled with holes, and all the surrounding black vortexes were shattered. As for himself, he was covered in injuries, barely alive, having survived the descending heavenly punishment thunder tribulation. Truly remarkable, it seemed his past encounters with such purple thunder punishment played a role, giving him a bit of experience.

However, opposite Du Mie, Ye Tianchen had vanished, replaced by fragments of shattered flesh and bone, none intact, with some pieces obliterated into remnants, floating mid-air. Blood continuously dripped down as Du Mie coldly laughed and said, ”Not everyone can be a heaven-defying demon. Throughout history, the Martial Arts World has produced countless heroic prodigies; everyone wants to defy the heavens, everyone wants to dominate the universe unrestrained, but how many can actually achieve it? They’re all overestimating themselves, ignorant of life and death!”

”Cough, cough... I’m nearly at my limit too. I mustn’t let those four women escape. Their talents are high, and they will sooner or later become enemies of the Five Poison Sect. Fortunately, I protected some people from the Five Poison Sect,” Du Mie said, looking at some still intact houses below.

As dozens of purple thunder punishments descended, Du Mie had used his divine skills to shield some houses below, where some disciples of the Five Poison Sect survived, still holding hope for rebirth.

”You old bastard, do you not feel ashamed chasing down those women?” Suddenly, Ye Tianchen’s voice rang out, startling Du Mie, disbelief written across his face.

Buzz!

Golden light flashed, gathering the floating fragments of flesh and blood in the air together. Ye Tianchen’s head appeared overhead; he hadn’t died. Instead, he had used the last bit of chaos energy to protect his head firmly, once again activating the ”Undying Golden Body Skill,” partially reconstructing his body. He was back; he was alive. The life-and-death battle with Du Mie wasn’t over, and he had overcome the heavenly punishment thunder tribulation, reaching the late Martial Venerate cultivation realm... (To be continued.
