Chapter 455: Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation, Xiao Jingchen Becomes A Sage, The Sky-Prides Reaction
Words of the Craggy Ocean Tower’s destruction soon spread throughout Firmament Star.
Every cultivator who caught wind of the news was shocked. After all, the Craggy Ocean Tower was a remarkable orthodoxy that housed plenty of Sages.
Yet, it was gone just like that!
Obliterated by a single person!
However, Chu Kuangren, who was now the center of attention, did not immediately proceed to the next orthodoxy for his revenge.
In fact, he had vanished under the radar along with Lan Yu.
Those who attempted to follow his footings did not succeed.
In the Heavenly Golden Palace.
Sage Ruler Changqin was worrying about the fate of his orthodoxy.
“Chu Kuangren’s abilities are far more powerful than I’ve imagined them to be. It looks like killing him won’t be a simple feat after all.”
“Sigh…”
Sage Ruler Changqin sighed and blamed the previous ruler of the Heavenly Golden Palace. Why must he provoke such an inhumane beast and dump all the troubles into the hands of Sage Ruler Changqin instead?
He was stressed out.
At that moment.
A surge of domineering aura unfolded in one of the mountain peaks near the Heavenly Golden Palace. It was as if the Heavenly Imperial had befallen them, and its presence spread across the land.
However, it did not stop there. The aura continued to sweep across the land, and it did not take long before it had covered half of Firmament Star.
All of the Firmament Star’s great ones were taken by surprise as they stared into the direction of the Heavenly Golden Palace with some uncertainty.
“Such aura… Someone must’ve ascended into a Sage!”
“What a strong Sage ascension aura!”
The great ones mobilized their spiritual thoughts towards the Heavenly Golden Palace to investigate the matter. Soon, they determined the source of the aura.
Storm clouds formed above a mountain peak within the Heavenly Golden Palace, and a display of aurora manifested across the horizon, forming a sky full of multicolored tribulation clouds!
Multicolored tribulation clouds!
The last time they observed such clouds was during Chu Kuangren’s battle three years ago!
The great ones gasped in shock.
Then, a dazzling youngster donned in a brocade emerged from a cave’s entrance within the mountain peak.
“It’s the Young Master! He’s finally out of his closed-door meditation!”
“Not only that, but he’s attempting to ascend!”
The elders of the Heavenly Golden Palace were excited.
“It’s Xiao Jingchen!”
“A sky-pride who hailed from the Nine Heavens and currently ranked third on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard. Legend has it that he was the Heavenly Golden Palace’s sky-pride several millennia ago before he vanished into the Misty Ocean, one of the forbidden lands. It was only three years ago that Xiao Jingchen reappeared along with his declaration that he would become the first Emperor of this era!”
“That’s right! I heard that he’s capable of killing Sages with ease. He went behind closed doors a year ago only to ascend into a Sage upon his reappearance. What a commotion he has created!”
“I’ve never seen the multicolored tribulation clouds ever since Chu Kuangren’s ascension. Can Xiao Jingchen rival Chu Kuangren?!”
“We shall wait and see…”
Xiao Jingchen stood proudly as he faced his heavenly tribulation.
The Daoist Rhymes of his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique coursed through his menacing poise as if to prepare him for a war against the world. Compared to Xiao Lintian, his physique was far more intimidating. This was the true representation of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique’s power!
“A Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation! Heh, interesting! Very few have been able to survive a Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation in history. Today, I, Xiao Jinchen, shall be one of them!”
Xiao Jingchen muttered, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Dozens of millennia ago, Xiao Jingchen had ventured into the Misty Ocean in search of an opportunity to become an Emperor. However, he failed to find what he was searching for. Instead, he traveled through a dimensional portal and arrived at the Nine Heavens, where he joined a formidable orthodoxy as its member.
Despite his arrival at the Nine Heavens, Xiao Jingchen was still living in the Era of Dharma’s End!
Hence, in order to stand a chance at Emperorhood, Xiao Jingchen decided to go into a deep slumber.
It was not until a short while ago when he finally awakened.
“The Emperor’s seat of this era shall belong to me. Not even the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation will stop me!” Xiao Jingchen said as he stood firmly on the ground.
Boom!
At that instance, the first tribulation lightning struck down!
Xiao Jingchen unleashed a fist technique and destroyed the tribulation lightning with this overbearing poise. His frightening power was a marvelous sight to behold.
Then, came the second lightning, the third, and the fourth…
As the tribulation lightning increased in intensity, so did Xiao Jingchen’s fist qi.
It was as if Xiao Jingchen was drawing his power from a limitless energy reserve!
The observers were shocked.
“Is this the true power of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique?”
“Xiao Lintian is nowhere close to Xiao Jingchen’s level. Is this the power of the Nine Heavens sky-prides? That’s awesome!”
Xiao Jingchen retained his confident posture through several rounds of tribulation lightning.
He laughed triumphantly and said, “Is that all there is to the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation?!”
The entire realm shook at his remark.
The tribulation clouds rolled in before it unleashed a bolt of terrifying tribulation lightning upon Xiao Jingchen!
Now, Xiao Jingchen was finding it difficult to manage.
The sixth and seventh tribulation lightning was challenging for Xiao Jingchen to overcome.
When the eighth tribulation lightning hit, Xiao Jingchen was heavily wounded!
“I have let my guards down.”
Xiao Jingchen spat out a mouthful of blood, and the aura of his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique now seemed significantly weaker compared to moments ago. However, the observers did not take the opportunity to mock Xiao Jingchen.
After all, it was the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation.
Boom!
The ninth lightning abruptly descended upon Xiao Jingchen!
Xiao Jingchen immediately retrieved a black spear and launched it at the tribulation lightning. A wave of terrifying Emperor’s Aura swept out!
“That’s an Emperor Weapon!”
The observers gasped.
Only with an Emperor Weapon in hand did Xiao Jingchen barely survive the ninth tribulation lightning.
Soon, the tribulation lightning dispersed.
Rays of Sage Dao lights descended from the sky, bathing Xiao Jingchen in it, and his aura gradually recovered.
Thanks to his deep understanding in the way of Dao and his remarkable talent, Xiao Jingchen had managed to skip the Boundary Sage Realm and ascend directly into a Sage!
His domineering aura, which far surpassed any ordinary Sages emanated across the land. The Heavenly Golden Palace’s disciples stared at Xiao Jingchen with their utmost admiration.
“Young Master is so strong and remarkable.”
“Who else can top him now that he has survived a Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation? Perhaps Chu Kuangren may have to stand aside now.”
“But I heard that Chu Kuangren survived a Nine Colored Heavenly Tribulation. That’s definitely more terrifying than the Seven Colored Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Pfft, so what? Wasn’t he punished with the Heavenly Punishment Seal in the end? It means that Chu Kuangren must be weaker than the Young Master now.”
“That’s right. The Young Master is the strongest of them all. His ascension to a Sage will definitely change the ranking on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.”
…
The great ones of Firmament Star were shocked to sense Xiao Jingchen’s formidable aura when he ascended into a Sage.
“Haha, Xiao Jingchen, it looks like you’re one step ahead of me. But rest assured that I’ll catch up to you soon.”
A brute youngster in a mountain range laughed as he peered in the direction of the Heavenly Golden Palace. There was a giant bear below his foot.
Around them were the leftovers of a gruesome battle. The entire mountain range in a thousand-kilometer radius had been reduced to nothing but rubble.
It was as if dozens of Sages had just fought to their deaths.
In another location.
A woman dressed in black robes was also looking in the direction of the Heavenly Golden Palace. Her face was covered with a piece of metallic mask.
“F*ck! I didn’t think he’d ascend faster than me!”
“Enjoy the show while you can. In a few days, I’ll beat the sh*t out of you once I ascend into a Sage too!”
The woman cursed frantically.
There was a thick layer of fog behind her, and a faint grunt could be heard from within it. It sounded like a demonic beast that came from hell.
“What are you yelping at? Howl again, and I will cook you in a stew.”
“Howl…”
The creature in the fog whimpered helplessly.
In the Ancient Battlefield, a Great Forbidden Area.
“Oh, it looks like Xiao Jingchen has become a Sage. I better act hastily as well then. I wouldn’t have thought that the Firmament Star had such a remarkable location. This is the perfect spot for me to ascend.”
A youngster dressed in a suit of black armor murmured in a barren wasteland. Behind him was a large number of tormented souls that were seething with ferocious qi.
Xiao Jingchen’s ascension to a Sage had triggered a series of chain reactions.
