Chapter 505: Chapter 505

The vast and magnificent power of Heavenly Thunder condensed into thousands of thunder dragons. These included the Power of Laws’ Heavenly Thunder, the Soul Slaughtering Heavenly Thunder, the Lifesnatching Heavenly Thunder, the Death Heavenly Thunder, and the Flaming Heavenly Thunder. Each Heavenly Thunder radiated world-destroying pressure, its booming sound shaking the heavens, as if the Azure Sky was enraged.

"Why is the power of this Tribulation so formidable?" Outside the Imperial Hall, Qin Wudao watched Gui Guzi undergoing his tribulation, his brows tightly furrowed.

Although he had not yet experienced a Tribulation, he had learned about it from ancient records. Usually, heavenly punishments like the Power of Laws’ Heavenly Thunder or the Soul Slaughtering Heavenly Thunder were part of the ninth Heavenly Thunder of a Tribulation. However, Gui Guzi is only undergoing his seventh.

Moreover, it was not just Gui Guzi. The thunderclouds above Guo Jia, Huo Qubing, and the other three figures also appeared exceptionally powerful.

"Your Majesty, during our Tribulations, the power of the Heavenly Thunder also greatly increased!" Zhuge Liang spoke solemnly.

"It seems the Tribulation is targeting the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court!" Qin Wudao narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly. Since ancient times, the power of Tribulations has been constant. Why has it become stronger now that it’s over the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court?

"The Principles of this world are flawed!" Above the Ninth Heaven, Gui Guzi, with the exquisite chessboard above his head, mumbled to himself. However, even knowing there was an issue with the Tribulation, his expression remained calm. As the founder of the School of Strategies, he was undaunted by any difficulty; even if the Great Dao itself were to strike, he would not fear. This mere Tribulation, in his eyes, was as gentle as a spring breeze, posing no threat at all.

The eighth Heavenly Thunder descended in response! A ferocious, grayish thunder dragon, a hundred li long, swooped down from the thunderclouds one hundred thousand li high. It was filled with a powerful destructive force that permeated the universe and could annihilate the sun and moon.

Destruction Heavenly Thunder! One of ઉhe most formidable Heavenly Punishments!

Throughout history, many Martial Artists of extraordinary talent have met their demise under the Destruction Heavenly Thunder, leaving behind countless regrettable stories.

On the ground, Qin Wudao, Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, and the others held their breath, their faces filled with apprehension. They did not fear the Destruction Heavenly Thunder itself, but worried about the next one. With Gui Guzi’s strength, enduring the Destruction Heavenly Thunder would be effortless.

But what about the next one? It will surely be mightier than the Destruction Heavenly Thunder!

"This is getting interesting!" Gui Guzi looked up, his eyes sparkling with endless literary Qi. The Laws of Strategies and the Hundred Schools of Thought permeated around him, and his formidable momentum surged into the skies as if to counter the one hundred thousand li lightning cloud.

Two white beams of light burst forth from his eyes.

The Destruction Heavenly Thunder, stretching a hundred li wide like a city, was unexpectedly pierced by the light beams and instantly shattered. Countless dazzling electric arcs filled the Void, causing the entire heaven and earth to convulse.

Immediately afterward, a heavier thunderclap echoed through heaven and earth, drowning out all other sounds. One hundred thousand li of thunderclouds billowed, coalescing into a black thunder dragon. Its scales were a glossy black, and it coiled above the other thunder dragons, its gaze imperious, exuding an air of absolute dominance.

Countless thunder dragons roared, weaving through the Void as they charged towards the center of the thundercloud. As they neared, they transformed into wisps of pure Heavenly Thunder power, merging into the black thunder dragon.

A force of annihilation spread out.

The sky turned completely dark, so dark one could not see their own hand.

"Extermination Heavenly Thunder!" Qin Wudao gasped, his heart sinking. Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Zhao Yun, and the others also turned extremely pale.

It’s actually the Extermination Heavenly Thunder! Isn’t this the final thunder tribulation for achieving immortality? Why would it appear during the tribulation for the Primordial Great Emperor Realm?

Although the power of this Extermination Heavenly Thunder could not compare to the Extermination Heavenly Thunder that accompanied the ascension to immortality, its destructive force was tens of times greater than the previous Destruction Heavenly Thunder.

Can Gui Guzi withstand the Extermination Heavenly Thunder? Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

"Heaven and Earth, lend me your power!" Gui Guzi declared, his expression unchanged as his hands formed seals. A towering, majestic phantom materialized behind him, radiating the Power of Laws. Its aura stirred heaven and earth, seeming capable of shattering the world’s celestial dome and stepping into the starry cosmos. This phantom was Gui Guzi’s Law Image.

"Power of the Stars, lend me your strength!" Gui Guzi commanded, pointing his right hand skyward. The Power of Laws tore through the celestial dome, drawing down a cascade of starlight.

"Power of Heaven and Earth, lend me your strength!" Then, he waved his left hand. The Power of Laws sundered the Void, and countless strands of heaven and earth energy surged into Gui Guzi’s body.

After absorbing the power of the stars and the power of heaven and earth, Gui Guzi’s strength reached a terrifying level, comparable to a late-stage Martial Artist in the Primordial Great Emperor Realm. But this was still far from enough.

"Power of Confucianism, lend me your strength!" Gui Guzi shouted. Thıs text ıs hosted at NoveI[F]ire.net

In the Sea of Fortune, a cluster of white Confucian Fortune transformed into a surge of scholarly energy, flowing into Gui Guzi’s body.

At this moment, the Extermination Heavenly Thunder in the Ninth Heaven had fully absorbed the power of all other thunders. Its colossal dragon body filled the one hundred thousand li of thunderclouds, its head alone spanning hundreds of li. Wrapped in one hundred thousand li of thunderclouds, the Extermination Heavenly Thunder struck down towards Gui Guzi.

The East Border trembled! The three thousand Laws in the Void retreated. Space-time and Reincarnation shattered, as if all the heavens and earth it passed through were returned to寂灭.

"Still not enough!" Sensing the power of the Extermination Heavenly Thunder, Gui Guzi mused, retrieving the State Preceptor’s Seal from his storage space. He then boomed, "Fortune of the Qin Dynasty, lend me your strength!"

In the Sea of Fortune, the Fortune Golden Dragon raised its head and spewed forth a dense stream of Fortune, which enveloped Gui Guzi. Instantly, Gui Guzi’s strength reached the Peak of the Primordial Great Emperor Realm!

"Myriad powers, condense!" Gui Guzi declared with a cold smile. The Power of Laws, Star Power, Heaven and Earth Power, Confucianism Power, Fortune Power, and other energies emerged in his palm, coalescing into a chaos-colored palm print ten thousand zhang in size.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Gui Guzi stepped forward. His body suddenly seemed to tower, and he thrust his palm towards the Extermination Heavenly Thunder. Endless power shook Heaven and Earth! The palm print tore through the Void, a sight that stunned the universe!

A sound like a divine pronouncement echoed as the palm print and the Extermination Heavenly Thunder collided, like two stars crashing into each other. Immeasurable energy erupted! Between heaven and earth, it was as if an additional greyish-black sun had appeared, changing the color of the world.

The Extermination Thunder Dragon roared, gathering all its might to unleash a raging torrent of lightning. This torrent radiated outwards in all directions, and anything it touched shattered like paper, turning to dust. Only the palm print conjured by Gui Guzi remained steadfast in the sky, completely unscathed.

"Expand!" Gui Guzi uttered softly.

The palm print, initially ten thousand zhang in size, began to grow continuously: one hundred li, five hundred li, one thousand li, six thousand li... In the blink of an eye, the palm print reached a staggering one hundred thousand li, matching the Thunder Dragon in size! And still, the area of the palm print continued to expand. Finally, it enveloped the Extermination Heavenly Thunder, forming a prison within his palm, trapping the Heavenly Tribulation that mortals feared.

"Shatter!" A faint smile touched Gui Guzi’s lips. The palm slowly closed, immeasurable power bearing down. The Extermination Heavenly Thunder was crushed inch by inch, wailing incessantly until it completely vanished.

After eliminating the Extermination Heavenly Thunder, Gui Guzi stood in mid-air, looking towards the other five tribulation sites. Although the power of the Heavenly Tribulation had intensified, Guo Jia, Huo Qubing, and the others were not to be underestimated, repeatedly shattering the Heavenly Thunders. Li Yuanba, in particular, had abandoned all defense, using the Heavenly Thunder to temper his body.

Half a day later, the Heavenly Thunder above the East Border dissipated. The six individuals who had successfully passed their tribulations gathered, smiling, and flew towards the Imperial Capital. They landed before Qin Wudao and performed a respectful salute.
