Martial Master

The thunder tribulation was too powerful, far stronger than the Martial Emperor's thunder tribulation back in the Ancient Yu Realm, a hundred times more ferocious. The aura of destruction surged; if it weren't for Qin Chen having mastered the rules of destruction, greatly weakening the intent of annihilation within the storm, he would have been blown apart on the spot, leaving no bones behind.

"This is... the World-Destroying Thunder Tribulation?"

Outside the ancestral land of the Ji family, several figures appeared, including Mo Ka La and others, while the big black cat hovered in mid-air, its golden eyes staring at the pitch-black, ink-like thunderstorm vortex above, revealing a grave expression.

The World-Destroying Thunder Tribulation, as legend has it, was the thunder punishment bestowed by the Heavenly Dao out of jealousy, a terrifying heavenly thunder meant to banish its target from the world.

At this moment, Qin Chen was in a dire state, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth, looking extremely miserable. Although one couldn't tell how severe his injuries were, it was evident that he was in a poor condition, his aura fluctuating as if he were gravely injured.

"Not good, the master is hurt, we need to go in and help!" The skeleton captain's expression changed drastically as he rushed towards the ancient castle.

"Stop!" A black light flashed; it was the big black cat, quickly blocking his path.

"The World-Destroying Thunder Tribulation is the most terrifying tribulation of the Heavenly Dao. If you go in, not only will you fail to help Qin Chen, but you will also be reduced to ashes yourself, which would be of no help and only anger the rules of the Heavenly Dao further," the big black cat said solemnly.

"Then are we just going to watch here?" The skeleton captain was anxious and tense. "What else can we do? The thunder tribulation is fundamental to a Martial God’s transformation. Only by truly passing through the tribulation can one gain the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Dao will and integrate into its rules. This is a step that every Martial God must go through. Although this kid’s tribulation is much stronger than ordinary, I believe he will definitely not be defeated by this mere thunder tribulation," the big black cat replied.

"Fine then." The skeleton captain gritted his teeth; there was no other choice now.

No one noticed that the big black cat was tightly gripping its claws, staring intently at Qin Chen, evidently extremely anxious as well.

Inside the ancient castle, Ji Wufa and others were obviously not worried about Qin Chen; in fact, upon seeing him injured, they were overjoyed.

"What a great opportunity, die for me!"

Ji Wufa knew very well the state Qin Chen was in, but seeing him so miserable clearly indicated he was badly injured. If he didn’t act now, when would he?

As long as he could kill Qin Chen, the heavenly thunder tribulation would naturally dissipate, allowing the Ji family's ancestral land to be preserved. Therefore, he made his move in an instant, unleashing a deadly strike filled with overwhelming blood energy towards Qin Chen.

Qin Chen sneered and did not evade.

Boom!

The sky suddenly flashed, and the entire world was filled with endless light. Almost in the blink of an eye, a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking directly at Ji Wufa, giving him no opportunity to dodge.

Puff!

A mouthful of scorching blood spewed out, and Ji Wufa was sent flying back, his body charred all over.

"Ancestor!"

The elders exclaimed in shock and hurriedly rushed forward.

"Ha ha, I am the tribulation bearer. If you wish to attack me, you must endure the wrath of the Heavenly Dao’s will."

Qin Chen seemed to have known all along that he would be unharmed.

He looked up, the sky growing darker, the oppressive aura overwhelming. Mid-stage Martial God experts trembled under this suppressive aura, while even late-stage Martial God giants were quaking, unable to bear such pressure.

"How could this be..." Ji Wufa was filled with anger and shock. Although he knew that attacking a tribulation bearer would invoke the thunder tribulation, it was happening too quickly. The flickering lightning left him with nowhere to escape, and its power was so great that it could heavily injure him.
