Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 839: Crossing the Tribulation (Part 2)

Chapter 839 -839: Crossing the Tribulation (Part 2)

“Jiaojiao, protect me!”

The moment Wang Chen landed on the peak’s summit, he released Hu Jiaojiao from his embrace.

At the same time, he retracted the Wind-Thunder Wings.

Hu Jiaojiao uttered an “um,” suddenly swept backward, and instantly curled up into a ball, revealing her true form in an instant.

The White Fox that landed on the ground yipped at Wang Chen twice before darting into the trees below.

Disappearing without a trace.

Wang Chen took a deep breath, looked up at the firmament, and then set down the Heaven and Earth Taiji Disc.

The mountaintop of Tribulation Passing Peak had been flattened years ago and had a special array set up at a great expense.

The position where the Heaven and Earth Taiji Disc was placed was right at the heart of the array’s center!

Wang Chen sat down cross-legged, silently operating the Mysterious Heart Method and activating the array at the peak.

Brilliant Spiritual Light suddenly appeared all around him!

Wang Chen closed his eyes, cleared all the distractions and clutter from his mind, and began to challenge the Great Supreme Realm.

Crack!

The next moment, a thick bolt of lightning appeared abruptly, striking directly towards Wang Chen.

But this lightning bolt, filled with destructive power, stopped abruptly three feet above Wang Chen’s head as if it had struck an invisible barrier, and instantly disintegrated.

Wang Chen’s body trembled slightly, with no other reaction.

Boom!

The whole world seemed enraged, with more lightning breaking through the cloud layer, bombarding Wang Chen one after another.

The invisible barrier that blocked the lightning held only for a moment before it shattered, allowing the following Heavenly Tribulation to strike him directly.

At this critical juncture, Wang Chen flicked out a Bronze Bell.

The bell expanded against the wind, and in an instant, it covered the space above Wang Chen’s head, absorbing the strikes of the lightning.

As the bell was struck repeatedly by the lightning, its light grew dimmer and, after about a hundred breaths of time, it couldn’t hold anymore and exploded with a crash.

But then, Wang Chen brought out an ancient umbrella!

Yet another Magical Treasure.

For this tribulation, Wang Chen had stored a large number of Magical Treasures within his Sumeru Ring.

Most of these treasures were gifts from Elder Yao, who had opened up five secret stores, on the one hand, to draw out money and Pills to support the development of Chang’an and White Deer Academy, and on the other, to increase his own foundation.

When Elder Yao first came to the Foggy Mountain Realm, he certainly didn’t carry so many treasures with him.

But after twelve reincarnations, he’d amassed an incalculable wealth, which included many treasures left by predecessors.

After acquiring these treasures, Wang Chen extracted the essence of high-tier Fierce Beasts to restore their spirit nature. Normally, he hardly used them, but now, they were put to their true use!

These treasures, having regained their spirit nature, naturally had astonishing value.

Yet in Wang Chen’s hands, they became pure consumables, one after another perishing under the strikes of heavenly lightning.

It was heartbreaking to watch.

“What a waste of heaven’s gifts!”

Around the top of Tribulation Passing Peak, fleeting figures quietly appeared.

Most of them had white hair, but each one’s eyes shone with divine light, exuding the aura unique to Transcendent cultivators who had Entered Tao.

Had there been a cultivator from the Green Cloud Palace present, they would have been shocked.

For these people were all bigwig-level figures of the Green Cloud Alliance, ordinarily rare to see, yet now a staggering seven had gathered!

Each one of these bigwigs could shake Taiwu City by stomping their feet, but now seven of them were forming what seemed like a besieging stance.

However, they did not immediately take action but quickly communicated through voice transmission.

Someone asked, “When do we move?”

“Don’t rush; wait a bit longer.”

“So many treasures, such a pity!”

“What a pity? If he doesn’t die, we old fellows will lose our place!”

“Yes, he must die this time!”

“Indeed.”

Seven senior cultivators were lying in ambush nearby, waiting patiently.

And Wang Chen, focused on countering the Heavenly Thunder, seemed unaware of these people’s arrival until he threw out his last Magical Treasure, and a huge change suddenly occurred in his aura.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, the sky changed color above Wang Chen’s head, a massive vortex appeared, and clouds gathered as wind and thunder accumulated, bringing a terrifying oppressive force down upon the world.

At the center of the vortex, countless blue and purple electric snakes writhed, quickly brewing a Heavenly Thunder as thick as a bucket.

Crack!

This fearsome and terrifying bolt of lightning struck, instantly shattering the Magical Treasure Wang Chen had just deployed.

The immense pillar of thunder split apart, turning into thousands of flashes of lightning, enveloping Wang Chen within!

But Wang Chen’s last line of defense—armor condensed from his Body Protection True Qi—held firm against the assault of the lightning.

This was the critical moment: to persevere was to have boundless prospects; to fail was to turn to ashes and smoke!

“Attack now!”

With a loud command, the seven cultivators hiding around the peak acted in unison!

Having waited for a long time, they struck with all their might, each unleashing their Life-bound Magical Artifact cultivated for decades.

Saber, sword, seal, whip, chain, banner…

These senior cultivators weren’t there by chance.

Years ago, they had secretly planned this ambush against Wang Chen, refusing to allow him to break through to the Great Supreme Realm.

But as Wang Chen had always been cultivating in the Taiji Palace, without absolute certainty of success, these senior cultivators didn’t dare to take reckless actions, until today when Wang Chen ascended the peak to face the Tribulation.

They had been waiting for this exact moment and showed no mercy when they struck!

“Screeee!”

The next instant, with an incredibly sharp cry, a massive White Fox shadow appeared out of nowhere, its long tails lashed out violently, sweeping aside all the Magical Treasures attacking Wang Chen.

At this critical moment, Hu Jiaojiao made her move!

The seven senior cultivators from Green Cloud Palace were all shaken, their mouths and noses oozing bright red blood.

But the true form Hu Jiaojiao had manifested with her condensed power was also struck by some of the Heavenly Thunder and vanished in an instant into smoke and ashes.

Hidden in the underbrush, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Her face turned deathly pale!

“Kill!”

The leader among the Green Cloud Palace cultivators knew that things had come to this point and there was no turning back.

He roared furiously, drew the sword he carried, and his figure shot out like a specter.

He thrust his sword at Wang Chen, who was sitting on the Heaven and Earth Taiji Disc.

Although the reactions of the other six cultivators were a step slower, they also rushed towards Wang Chen.

Without Magical Treasures or weapons, they would use fists, claws, and toes to try and kill Wang Chen!

But Hu Jiaojiao, who had been backlashed by the heavenly lightning, could only watch helplessly as the enemies surrounded and attacked Wang Chen, unable to move a muscle.

And yet the sword light cleaved through the air, thrusting viciously towards Wang Chen’s throat.

In the moment that the sword tip was about to pierce him, Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and gave his assailant a slight smile.

The Green Cloud Palace cultivator’s movements stiffened, and the Longsword in his hand could no longer advance even half an inch.

For the tip of the sword was already being held between Wang Chen’s right index and middle finger.

And in the sky, the wind, clouds, and thunder were disappearing at an astonishing rate!
