Chapter 349: Saint Tribulation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Boom!
In the distance, inside the white jade door, half-black and half-red light instantly illuminated all directions. The sky itself seemed to split in two, saintly might spreading out like pouring mercury.
“This… This is saintly might! Hurry, retreat quickly!” Wang Yunzong’s expression suddenly changed. He shouted and swiftly retreated.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen is really going to become a saint!”
Everyone present was in disbelief. Although they had long guessed Su Chen would become a saint at this moment, when it truly happened before their eyes, it was still difficult to accept.
Everyone present was a high-ranking member of the Wang family. Each had cultivated for thousands of years, yet none had sensed their own Saint Tribulation. As for Su Chen, he was merely a junior who had cultivated for less than a hundred years, yet now he had already begun undergoing the Saint Tribulation. This was too great a blow to the older generation.
“Becoming a saint in a hundred years! Since ancient times…even some Chaos Dao Bodies probably took no less time!”
“Roar!” An earth-shattering dragon’s roar sounded simultaneously.
A black-red longsword pierced through the world from within the white jade door. With but a flash, it arrived in the sky above the outside world.
After that, its speed did not decrease as it charged straight into outer space.
A figure walked out from behind the divine light. His long hair fluttered, his footsteps heavy, as if leisurely strolling through a courtyard, calm and unhurried. Yet his speed reached an extreme. This feeling was very strange. They could clearly see the figure’s every move, yet were unable to grasp the strangeness of his actions.
One second he was right before their eyes. The next second, he appeared tens of thousands of miles away.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen!” Wang Yunzong shouted. Su Chen’s speed was simply too fast as if he passed by like a shooting star. By the time he came to his senses, Su Chen had already left the Wang family and arrived in the sky tens of thousands of miles away.
“It really is Fellow Daoist Su Chen! He’s about to become a saint!” Wang Yunzong watched the direction Su Chen had departed, continuously muttering. With but a fleeting glimpse, he had keenly captured that faint saintly might around Su Chen. This was the portent of transcending the Saint Tribulation!
At the same time, it could also be called emerging from the cocoon. Any Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse releasing even a wisp of aura would instantly be sensed by the Heavenly Dao and sent the heavenly tribulation to test them.
Now, Su Chen no longer hid his power at all, meaning he was ready to transcend the tribulation and become a saint!
“Looks like I underestimated Fellow Daoist Su Chen. He doesn’t just want to refine a sacred weapon’s embryo, he wants to refine a real sacred weapon! Perhaps… The sacred weapon he refines can even withstand the test of heavenly tribulation!” Wang Yunzong exclaimed.
Ordinary cultivators would only consider refining sacred or imperial weapons after breaking through. Very few refined weapons before breaking through. After all, before transcending tribulation, no one could be certain they could successfully pass. If the tribulation failed, all previous preparations would be in vain.
However, just surviving the heavenly tribulation was enough to take one’s life. They had no mind to refine their own weapon amidst tribulation. If they messed up, they would lose their life without even a chance to regret it. Only an existence like Su Chen had the confidence to refine a weapon while transcending tribulation.
The void was boundless and endless. Su Chen came to a desolate space, empty everywhere. He could feel the bleakness of the vast emptiness.
He stood unmoving for a long time, not to stall, but to adjust his current state.
Saint Tribulation! This was different from the Nirvana Tribulation. The terror of Saint Tribulation increased by severalfold! Even now he did not dare be careless. From ancient times until now, countless peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses had fallen under the Saint Tribulation. Even among prodigies who had passed the ninth Nirvana Tribulation, many still fell at the Saint Tribulation.
“I wonder how many heavenly tribulations will be this time,” Su Chen murmured, gazing into the distance.
As his words fell, the aura on his body was no longer restrained. The pores all over his body continuously opened, fine divine light spitting out. In an instant, his entire body emitted colorful flowing light, dazzling and resplendent.
Rumble!
A loud sound rang out. The red blood within his body began boiling, emitting the roar of a tsunami. Every blood vessel seemed to transform into a great river, the power of his blood essence vibrating, the entire void resonating. All kinds of unbelievable phenomena appeared around him.
An explosion sounded. This was not the tribulation, nor some wave of victory! It was a strange phenomenon of his fleshly body. His body, translucent like jade, seemed to be manifesting some ancient divine power, the pressure so great that the entire void seemed about to explode.
This was an extremely terrifying scene – just standing in the void, without using any spiritual power, but relying solely on his fleshly body’s strength to make the surrounding void tremble. If this news spread, it would shock countless cultivators.
Su Chen’s entire body emitted divine light and dark red electricity like chaotic lightning coiling around him. This was a phenomenon of the divine body!
At the same time, his chest began emitting light. Immediately after, it spread throughout his body, every joint moving as if reborn.
Rumble!
Bursts of rumbling came from within him, the sound of mountains and tsunamis becoming increasingly deafening. This was the Supreme Bone he had previously obtained manifesting its own phenomenon.
Boom!
The next moment, Su Chen’s divine body emitted divine light from the inside out, becoming the sole existence in the empty void. Only he remained, more dazzling than the sun, extremely glaring.
His fleshy body moved rhythmically, scorching light covering a radius of countless miles. Relying solely on his blood essence, he shattered the boundless void. The surrounding void became a black hole, swallowing everything formed.
“This… Is this really something achievable in less than a hundred years of cultivation?”
Wang Yunzong and the others quickly rushed over, along with many other Wang family experts. Even some Saint Realm powerhouses of the Wang family hiding in the void, gazing at Su Chen from afar.
After all, Su Chen was now the number one expert of the younger generation in the East Barrens. Since Su Chen was transcending tribulation near their Wang family, especially the Saint Tribulation, their Wang family could not ignore it.
But when they arrived, everyone was stunned on the spot!
