Chapter 324: You’ll Be the First One I Kill
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Old fart! When I break through to the Saint Realm, you’ll be the first one I kill!” Qin Hao’s hair fluttered as he shouted coldly.
In the next moment, he attacked quickly and directly. He threw a punch! The fist aura seemed to carry tremendous force as it struck out in a big sweeping motion. Violent spiritual energy erupted, and the void within a hundred-mile radius shook.
“How dares he!”
“He actually dares to do this?”
“Haha…He’s simply courting death!”
“Tired of living?”
“He only killed a Nirvana Realm prodigy. Where did his confidence come from to attack a Saint Realm powerhouse?”
Seeing Qin Hao take the initiative to attack, the Spirit Race members were furious. But no one stepped forward to help. On the contrary, they watched eagerly, as if waiting for a good show. If Qin Hao had attacked others, they might have helped a little. However, with Qin Hao attacking the Grand Elder, there was no need for them to get involved at all. One had to know that the Grand Elder was a Saint Realm powerhouse! A mere Qin Hao facing the Grand Elder was like an ant provoking an elephant. Wasn’t he courting death?
“Humph! Qin Hao! I thought your aptitude was decent and wanted you to be Yuan’er’s number-one follower. But you don’t know your own limits!” When the Spirit Race Grand Elder saw this, he shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with regret.
He raised his hand slightly. In the next moment, an unparalleled pressure erupted from his body, piercing through the clouds as if it could collapse the world. This world seemed unable to withstand his attack and was about to be destroyed.
“Since you’re so stubborn, then die!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Elder gently pressed his palm down. In an instant, it was as if a mountain had fallen from the void and pressed down on Qin Hao, terrifying to the extreme.
The huge palm was about to completely crush Qin Hao. But at this moment, the Spirit Race Grand Elder suddenly dispersed all his divine powers and looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with shock.
“This… Is this the Nirvana Tribulation?”
“What’s going on?”
“Where did those tribulation clouds come from?”
“Tribulations are not allowed in our territory. Who dares to transcend tribulations here so boldly?”
“Who is it?”
“Transcending tribulations at this time is truly lacking foresight!”
“Wait! Look, that seems to be Qin Hao’s Nirvana Tribulation!”
The Spirit Race members began discussing with disbelief written on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
Wasn’t this too unbelievable? How old was Qin Hao? One had to know that though Qin Yuan was so heaven-defying and talented, he had just passed the Nirvana Tribulation a few years ago, and was now only at the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm.
But what about Qin Hao? When he was young, his Longevity Immortal Body had been extracted, rendering his previous foundations useless. It was like he had started from being a useless, crippled body. Yet in just a few short years, he had caught up and had to undergo the Nirvana Tribulation. This was simply unbelievable!
For a moment, everyone suspected if they had dug out Qin Yuan’s Mystic Eyes back then and given them to Qin Hao, his talent would have created miracles! He even might have been more terrifying than Qin Yuan!
“Retreat! Everyone, quickly retreat! The Nirvana Tribulation is about to take shape. Don’t get swept into it!” a Spirit Race expert came to his senses and bellowed. In reality, he didn’t even need to say anything. All the Spirit Race members had already retreated, especially the Grand Elder. The moment he noticed the heavenly tribulation, he had fled a thousand miles away, afraid of being affected.
He was different from the others. If others were affected, it would only increase the tribulation’s power slightly. However, if he was involved, the Nirvana Tribulation wouldn’t be as simple as upgrading to the level of Saint Tribulation. Especially for someone like him, who had already overcome the Saint tribulation once, he would do anything to avoid going through it again. After all, successfully overcoming the Saint Tribulation for the first time didn’t guarantee that he could do it smoothly a second time.
Boom!
Shortly after the Spirit Race retreated, a deafening sound rang out. The massive island of the Spirit Race seemed to tremble.
A deep red thunderbolt descended from beyond the ninth heavens, accompanied by deafening thunder, spreading across a radius of a hundred miles, casting uncertain shadows on everyone’s faces.
“That is…the blood-colored lightning!”
“Nine heavenly tribulations!”
“Hiss! How is this possible?”
“Impossible! Impossible! It’s absolutely impossible! Qin Hao is merely a crippled body. How could he possibly attract nine heavenly tribulations?”
“No, I must have seen wrongly! Is there something wrong with the heavenly tribulations?”
The Spirit Race members roared in disbelief. They could not accept the reality before their eyes.
The number of tribulations was not random. After all, the Heavenly Dao was fair! It meant that the level of heavenly tribulations the Heavenly Dao imposed on each person was determined according to that person’s strength.
In other words, the Heavenly Dao sent down nine heavenly tribulations because it believed that Qin Hao was capable of transcending them. If some people failed to transcend, it was mainly because they hadn’t adjusted their own state to its best condition.
Now, Qin Hao was facing nine heavenly tribulations. Without a doubt, his strength had obtained recognition from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao believed he could transcend these nine tribulations, so it sent them to test him.
This scene was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Spirit Race. A crippled body that had its Longevity Immortal Body extracted could now attract nine heavenly tribulations. If his Longevity Immortal Body was still intact…they didn’t even dare imagine what tribulation would descend!
One had to know that even Qin Yuan with both talents, the Mystic Eyes and Longevity Immortal Body, only faced nine heavenly tribulations.
“This child… We cannot let him live!” a Spirit Race elder spoke coldly. His gaze swept around, seeking the young man who wanted to help Qin Hao. However, puzzlingly, the young man who was just standing by Qin Hao’s side had vanished in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been there.
“Humph! A coward who hides his head and shows his tail!” The elder snorted coldly and did not investigate further. In his opinion, Cao Yun was merely in the Quasi-Saint Realm. Given the current situation, Cao Yun posed less of a threat than Qin Hao! Everything else could be postponed.
Rumble!
The lightning descended and instantly engulfed countless buildings of the Spirit Race. A sea of lightning appeared in their territory.
Many disciples retreated further and further back. Gazing at the heavenly tribulations covered by the sea of lightning, everyone present felt their hearts tremble. After this passed, their Spirit Race would probably suffer an enormous loss.
The sea of lightning was extremely terrifying. A single bolt could turn a huge palace into flying ash. Only some palaces protected by formations could withstand it briefly.
At this moment, countless Spirit Race experts regretted not setting up more formations within the race’s territory. Otherwise, their losses today could have been greatly reduced..
