Chapter 437: Chapter 437

Even with trust in Wen Zhixing, there was still fear of the unexpected.

Thunder Tribulation is the punishment from the Heavens.

Under such punishment, anything could happen.

Bai Luqiu took a deep breath, barely managing a smile. "It’s okay, I believe in your junior brother."

Though she said this, her face was etched with deep concern, and her hands involuntarily clenched tightly together.

"Don’t worry, that kid is tough as old boots. Just by looking at his expression, you can tell there’s no problem."

Wen Miner, however, was much calmer. Merely glancing at the void, she pinpointed the crux of it all.

They say an onlooker sees more of the game; this was the case for Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu because they cared too much about Wen Zhixing. That was why they were nervous.

Yet, Bai Luqiu and Liu Qingdai remained visibly concerned.

The Thunder Tribulation was massive, naturally drawing the attention of many. This place was where the younger generation of the Qin Family lived. At this moment, numerous cultivators from the Qin Family walked out from inside their houses, frowning as they looked up.

"Thunder... Thunder Tribulation!"

At a single glance, fear filled their faces, and they dared not even breathe heavily. This... this was Thunder Tribulation!

Most cultivators would instinctively feel fear in the face of Thunder Tribulation.

The crowd was shocked, their expressions changing drastically. The air around seemed to solidify, making it somewhat difficult to breathe. Why would Thunder Tribulation descend here? This kind of thing was hardly ever seen.

The next moment, they noticed something else amiss: beneath those thunderclouds, there seemed to be a person.

In the midst of the void, a figure looked up slightly, his body emitting a faint, ethereal light, as if bathed in celestial radiance. On his skin, fine golden ripples appeared, like streaks of thunder flashing across. Gradually, his skin began to reveal a faint yellow light screen, resonating with the Thunder Tribulation.

"He is actually undergoing tribulation!"

Soon, people recognized who it was. Given Qin Tian’s high status, some recognized him even from a great distance.

Many wore expressions of surprise. Why is Qin Tian undergoing tribulation? What is this all about?

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Before these people could ponder further, a massive bolt of lightning struck down directly at Wen Zhixing from above.

The golden thunder ruthlessly struck his body. In the void, a terrifying, blinding flash of lightning exploded.

"How... how strong this Thunder Tribulation is!"

All those below who saw it couldn’t help but retreat. The might of the Thunder Tribulation was too terrifying. It truly made one tremble from the depths of their soul. Many of the Qin Family members with lesser cultivation were even trembling in their boots, as if their very spirits had been shattered by that single heavenly thunder.

However, Wen Zhixing seemed to feel no pain; instead, he closed his eyes, an expression of enjoyment on his face. He had experienced this level of thunder countless times. To him, it was a piece of cake.

Soon, he absorbed the thunder power directly into the thunder pool within him.

Several more lightning bolts struck down. In the process, Wen Zhixing’s figure gradually began to float horizontally. He was suspended in mid-air, all the thunder absorbed by him.

Below, everyone who witnessed this scene felt their hearts tremble.

"The Divine Tribulation is being absorbed by Qin Tian!"

Some stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. This is too absurd! How could anyone absorb the Divine Tribulation? What an incredibly powerful physique that would require!

The next moment, many began to spread the news, informing others. Some simply reported it to their friends, while others informed their Elders. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFɪre.net

Within the Qin Family, not everyone was united. Where there are people, there is a Martial World. Qin Tian being so powerful was not necessarily good news for some.

In no time at all, the news spread rapidly.

At the same time, four powerful figures quietly appeared in the void not far away. These people did not approach, only watched from a distance. Although the four made no effort to hide their presence, it seemed as if no one present noticed them.

These four individuals were none other than the Supreme Elders of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect. They were also the Masters of Liu Qingdai and the others within the Divine Sect.

"Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill?" one of the elders, a man with crane-white hair, spoke with surprise. Despite his full head of white hair, he was extremely lively, displaying both powerful vitality and the marks of age. It created an odd yet harmonious sense of peculiarity.

This elder was Bai Luqiu’s Master, Jin Boji.

Jin Boji. This person was once considered a laggard within the Purple Cloud Divine Sect. Unexpectedly, while numerous God prides vied for supremacy, he accumulated his strength steadily and eventually surpassed them. After achieving great success in his cultivation, he made a renowned name for himself in Zhongzhou, becoming a celebrated figure. And now, his cultivation had clearly advanced even further.

With just one glance, Jin Boji had already seen through the origins of this Divine Tribulation. Who would have thought that in this day and age, someone would still be practicing this cultivation skill? Moreover, judging by the intensity of this Thunder Tribulation, they’ve likely reached a considerable level.

The others exchanged knowing glances. They had also cultivated this skill when they were young but had abandoned it after a while. There was no helping it; every breakthrough involved undergoing a tribulation, and every tribulation was practically a brush with death. It was manageable once or twice, but the Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill required enduring a hundred such tribulations. Thus, naturally, not many individuals pursued this path of cultivation.

"Who is this youngster?" another thin elder then spoke up. He was hunched and emanated a heavy air of his twilight years, lacking the imposing aura one would expect from a powerful expert. He appeared as though he might collapse at any moment.

No one who saw this man would ever guess he was once the mightiest God pride of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect a thousand years ago—Sha Yanru.

A millennium ago, Sha Yanru burst onto the scene, full of youthful vigor, sweeping away numerous top God prides of Zhongzhou. This continued until he joined the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. Still proud and haughty, he challenged the Holy Land’s God prides as he had done before. This time, however, he met his match. In just three moves, his limbs were broken, and he was left gravely injured.

Sha Yanru, however, did not let this setback dampen his spirits. After recovering, he challenged several more powerful disciples of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. The outcome was predictable: Sha Yanru was no match for these God prides. Eventually, he slowly disappeared from everyone’s view. Unexpectedly, he now bore this appearance. Although his cultivation was strong, he no longer had the spirited presence of his youth.

As a Supreme Elder of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, Sha Yanru had not emerged from seclusion for a long time. Naturally, he did not recognize the newer generation. He had only emerged these past few days because he had accepted a new disciple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come out of the forbidden area.

"Is this youngster Qin Tian?" Among the four, a woman looked at the person in the midst of the Thunder Tribulation and spoke slowly, her tone holding a hint of disbelief.

This person was none other than Yun Xinyue’s Master, Nangong Luoling. Clad in a light blue gown with a green ribbon tied at her waist, her features were picturesque, and her bearing was ethereal. Her mere presence seemed to transport one to fairyland.

"It is indeed this youngster."

By Nangong Luoling’s side stood another woman of breathtaking beauty. However, this woman’s face was veiled with a light gauze, revealing only a pair of clear and expressive eyes. In terms of figure, she was on par with Nangong Luoling. The two of them were unparalleled beauties. Yet, the veil added an extra layer of mystery to this woman’s allure.

"The Qin Family is truly fortunate." The woman’s voice was as pleasant as the singing of orioles, and as she spoke, a faint, barely perceptible fragrance wafted through the air.

Nangong Xian was this woman’s name. Both had joined the Purple Cloud Divine Sect midway through their lives, and almost no one knew their true identities. But their strength was undeniable. At this moment, both of them became somewhat interested in this "Qin Tian."

Just as everyone’s attention was fixed on Wen Zhixing.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The Thunder Tribulation grew even more ferocious. A massive thunder dragon, tens of meters long, flew out from the void. It radiated a daunting presence, as if imbued with life itself. The display wasn’t over; the power of the thunder in the sky grew denser. Behind this thunder dragon, more and more smaller thunder dragons, each several meters in length, emerged.

Wen Zhixing had yet to react, but everyone else watching was visibly shaken. Damn it! Why is this Thunder Tribulation so terrifying!

However, Wen Zhixing just let out a hearty laugh and took a step forward without the slightest hint of retreat.
