The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3198 - 3193: The Tribulation Begins_1

"Hahaha, it seems the heavens truly favor the persistent! I was certain Yang Chen couldn't have fled far; he had to be hiding on Law God Star. Regardless of his exact location, let us move swiftly to eliminate him first." Several Heavenly Boundary experts were already brimming with anticipation, ready to strike.

The prospect of slaying Yang Chen carried immense prestige, and every one of them was eager to claim the glory.

"Do not be reckless. We attacked him together last time and he still managed to slip away. This time, there must be no room for error. If we fail now, we will lose our chance once the Heaven-appointed Realm masters arrive. Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye has signaled that Yang Chen is currently deep in cultivation. There is no urgency; let us first mobilize reinforcements from other realms and weave a Sky-Roaming Net to ensure his death."

...

In an instant, a multitude of Heavenly Boundary masters mobilized, taking their positions. Another ten days vanished in the blink of an eye.

After ten days, Yang Chen vaguely perceived that he was surrounded by a swarm of Heavenly Boundary experts. Despite this, he showed no signs of agitation, remaining perfectly still with his eyes closed.

By now, the essence within the Liuli Mine before him had been entirely drained, and the physical form of Xuan Jie had dissolved into nothingness.

His Qi fluctuated wildly, sometimes surging and sometimes waning, as he grappled with the most unstable and critical phase of his realm breakthrough.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Boundary experts from the Grand Abyss Palace were creeping toward him in silence.

"Dark Night King, you are leading this operation. When do we strike?" the other experts inquired, looking toward a figure clad in black nearby.

This individual was the Dark Night King. Blending into the ranks, he replied, "We have twenty-three Heavenly Boundary experts at our disposal. Four will seal the exits, while three maintain the formation. The rest will follow me to suppress Yang Chen directly. Had the Calamity King not been so timid last time, Yang Chen would already be in our hands. Such a mistake will not be repeated."

Just as the Dark Night King finished his sentence, his gaze locked onto the distance. "What is happening with Yang Chen? Why is his aura behaving so erratically?"

"That resonance... could he be breaking through to the Heavenly Boundary Realm?"

"Judging by the intensity, he seems to be on the verge of success. Is he actually going to make it?"

The group was stunned. The Dark Night King barked an order, "Attack now! Kill him immediately!"

Sensing the imminent danger, he realized they could no longer wait and moved to intervene.

But at that exact moment, a thunderclap exploded across the clear sky, followed by the roaring of a Thunder Pool. The atmosphere shifted violently.

"Curse it, the Heaven’s Tribulation has arrived!" The Dark Night King and the other Heavenly Boundary cultivators recoiled in haste, their expressions filled with alarm.

They knew they had missed their window. Once the Heavenly Tribulation commenced, it became nearly impossible for them to interfere.

The Dark Night King gritted his teeth, his heart burning with resentment, yet he was powerless.

Though they could commune with the Heavenly Dao, they lacked the power to alter it. The birth of a Heavenly Dao path is an absolute law, representing the fundamental rules of the Universe Starry Sky.

Only those who have reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm might possess the power to rewrite the Heavenly Dao; even those in the Heaven-appointed Realm are incapable of such a feat.

Even for a Heavenly Extreme Realm master, trying to warp these rules would invite a devastating Thunder Tribulation of unprecedented horror.

Thus, they had no choice but to stay clear of Yang Chen’s tribulation and watch from afar.

"This Thunder Tribulation comes at the worst possible time, and its intensity is staggering!"

"Normally, a Boundaryless cultivator entering the Heavenly Boundary Realm faces thirty-nine strikes. Exceptional geniuses might face forty-nine. Even among the top names on the Great Luo Celestial Stele, the fifty-nine Thunder Tribulation is a rarity."

"If this were the fifty-nine Thunder Tribulation, would it really be this terrifying?"

"A powerful cultivator from our Grand Abyss Palace, ranked fourth on the Daluo Celestial Monument, faced his tribulation 240,000 years ago. It was a fifty-nine strike event, yet the celestial pressure wasn't nearly this oppressive..."

The Heavenly Boundary cultivators exchanged glances, utterly shaken.

"Could it be... the Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder?"

The thought sent shivers through the experts.

The Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder was legendary. Even those ascending to the Heaven-appointed Realm might not trigger such a high-tier lightning trial. How monstrous was Yang Chen to summon such a tribulation while only entering the Heavenly Boundary Realm?

Yang Chen finally rose from the ground.

Although he was aware of the encirclement, he remained composed and showed no panic.

As he had anticipated, the Heavenly Tribulation was an irreversible force, and his enemies could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Nevertheless, the sheer power of the coming storm was enough to make him uneasy.

"Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder!" Yang Chen’s expression turned grim.

It felt as though the heavens were perpetually trying to crush him, with every previous tribulation nearly claiming his life before he survived.

He couldn't predict the final strength of this Six-Nine Tribulation, but he hoped for a fighting chance.

Glancing sideways, he noted the ambush and formations prepared by the Heavenly Boundary experts. It was clear that even if he survived the lightning, he would immediately be met by a coordinated assault, putting him in a dire position.

However, he forced himself to clear his mind of such distractions.

Losing focus during the tribulation would be a fatal mistake.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yang Chen watched the roiling black clouds and the dancing bolts of lightning above as his aura began to surge outward.

Finally, the first wave of the Thunder Tribulation descended.

The power of the One-Nine Thunder Tribulation was formidable, yet for someone of Yang Chen’s current caliber, it was trivial. He neutralized every strike of the One-Nine sequence with ease.

Suddenly, the Two-Nine Thunder Tribulation began!

The intensity of the second wave was on a completely different level than the first.

But Yang Chen had already stepped into the Heavenly Boundary Realm, and his power had surged far beyond his previous limits.

The Two-Nine Thunder Tribulation was likewise crushed!

Then came the Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation!

The speed and decisiveness with which Yang Chen handled the lightning left the Grand Abyss Palace experts watching in stunned silence.

"Yang Chen is far more powerful than before—immeasurably so."

"His strength was bound to skyrocket upon reaching the Heavenly Boundary Realm, but this is simply excessive."

"The tribulation hasn't even finished tempering him yet, meaning his full power isn't even active, and he's already this formidable..."

The observing cultivators felt a chill run down their spines as they compared themselves to him.

They realized that if they were to face Yang Chen one-on-one in his current state, they would suffer a crushing and humiliating defeat.

"Yang Chen was already a threat to Heavenly Boundary masters while he was still in the Boundaryless stage. Naturally, his power has grown now. But do not let fear take hold. We have over twenty masters here; do you truly believe he can flip the heavens and earth against us?" the Dark Night King said chillingly.

His words offered some comfort to the others. "Indeed. It remains to be seen if the boy can even survive this tribulation. And even if he does, why should we fear someone who has been broken and battered by the lightning?"
