“Ah!” The gray-clothed Martial Emperor screamed, with a twisted face full of desperation and unwillingness, he shouted angrily, “My Qing Di Mountain has never offended you, why do you target me?” The person couldn't understand why the woman in blue suddenly wanted to kill him.
“Why? Should I need a reason to kill people in Piao Miao Palace?” With a cold laugh, the blue-clothed woman crushed him into a mist of blood with a palm strike. She collected three storage rings, and her gloomy expression lightened considerably.
“Much more comfortable now,” the blue-clothed woman said in a frosty tone. She had been filled with rage thanks to Qin Chen, and killing a few people helped relieve some of her hatred. “Blame yourselves for appearing in front of me at this moment. If I don’t kill you, who else can I kill?”
With a sneer, the woman in blue did not pause for even a moment and instantly summoned a blue silk to fly toward the darkest area of the sky.
Under the heavenly thunder, Qin Chen’s mysterious rusty sword violently collided with the thick black heavenly tribulation. Instantly, the sky was lit up with a vast explosion of thunderlight.
Crack! Crack!
Qin Chen immediately saw that a layer of rust had been struck off the rusty sword. The sword, which had been completely black, started emanating an eerie light. During the last heavenly tribulation, he found out that the power of the tribulation could remove the rust from the mysterious rusty sword, and this time it was indeed effective.
After dispersing over ten bolts of heavenly tribulation, the remaining dozens of bolts immediately struck Qin Chen, producing loud booming sounds.
Although these black lightning pillars were terrifying, they slowed down once they hit Qin Chen’s spatial barrier, significantly reducing their power.
During the first wave of tribulation, Qin Chen used many defensive treasures and barely managed to block it, resulting in numerous fractures in his bones. However, this second wave of tribulation was evidently more powerful, but since Qin Chen had completely broken through to the Martial Emperor realm, his strength had increased by more than ten times, making the experience much easier.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop…
As the lightning pillars fell, Qin Chen’s body was charred black, skin torn open, but he only suffered some superficial injuries, with no fractured bones and his internal organs sustaining only slight damage. The heavenly lightning enveloped Qin Chen, but he absorbed it into his body, strengthening his thunderous bloodline while also clearing much of the rust from the mysterious rusty sword.
Not only was Qin Chen unharmed, but with the help of the heavenly tribulation, his aura gradually increased.
Basking in the lightning, Qin Chen felt it was enhancing his physical body.
After a moment, he released the Fire Refining Insect and the Devouring Ants. The Fire Refining Insect and the Devouring Ants had previously encountered heavenly lightning and transformed, but now their assistance to Qin Chen had lessened. If they did not continue to evolve, they would soon be eliminated. Qin Chen wanted to use this tribulation to temper the Fire Refining Insect and the Devouring Ants.
“Cultivating martial artists is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you retreat. It’s the same for strange spiritual insects; to become stronger, they must undergo painful rebirth, breaking through their cocoons into butterflies, or they will be eliminated,” Qin Chen murmured to himself.
Bang! Bang!
Numerous Fire Refining Insects and Devouring Ants, bathed in the lightning, immediately emitted a charred smell.
To Qin Chen's surprise, these Fire Refining Insects and Devouring Ants, which had survived the tribulation in the Tian Mo Secret Realm, did not fall in this more terrifying tribulation but instead emitted a faint electric aura.
“These two types of strange spiritual insects are truly remarkable,” Qin Chen was somewhat astonished. If it weren't for his breakthrough to the Martial Emperor realm and possessing the thunderous bloodline, it would have been tough to withstand such terrifying lightning. Yet, these strange spiritual insects had rarely suffered loss.
