Chapter 2084 - 2085: Humanoid Heavenly Tribulation
"He actually overcame the first six Heavenly Tribulations!"
Looking at Ye Qiu’s figure, the Donghua Holy Son and the elderly figure beside him were momentarily stunned.
In their eyes, the tribulations that should have ensured Ye Qiu’s death were surmounted by him, and he didn’t appear too battered; at least his physical body remained intact, with substantial strength left.
Of course, the formidable soul body Ye Qiu manifested also startled them both.
Especially the Donghua Holy Son, as he considered Ye Qiu’s soul body compared to his own Soul Power, he became even more envious. How could a Loose Cultivator possess a soul body stronger than his own?
"Even if he overcame the initial tribulations, he couldn’t possibly continue surviving the subsequent ones; the latter tribulations are notably more terrifying. Given the strength of the prior tribulations, those to follow would undoubtedly be stronger." Despite Ye Qiu having managed to endure through the first six tribulations, they didn’t believe he could continue overcoming the rest.
The elder didn’t speak further, as he couldn’t predict what kind of tribulation would come next; historically, very few have managed to pass through nine tribulations, with only scant records as evidence.
Moreover, many have perished during the initial stages, with very few overcoming the first six.
In the void, the black sphere didn’t immediately unleash the seventh tribulation.
It seemed to provide Ye Qiu some time to rest, allowing him as much recovery as possible; instead of being overjoyed, Ye Qiu felt the dangerous calmness was foreboding.
This indicated that the coming tribulation would be extremely terrifying.
The black sphere flickered with black lightning, appearing immensely intimidating, causing anyone who watched to feel a chill run down their spine.
Ye Qiu wasted no time and began absorbing the spiritual energy of the cosmos. As he opened up his Dantian, absorbing the surrounding energy, the power within a radius of ten thousand miles continuously gathered into Ye Qiu’s body, rapidly converting it to Rule Power.
He wanted to restore his state to its peak; the upcoming tribulations would surely surpass all previous ones.
Suddenly!
All the lightning around the black sphere retracted inward, and Ye Qiu stopped absorbing spiritual energy; the seventh tribulation should be appearing any moment.
Fixing his gaze on the black sphere, suddenly, two hands emerged from the sphere and spread apart, revealing a figure.
Immediately afterward, another figure emerged from the sphere as well.
A total of three figures appeared in the void, staring at Ye Qiu.
Seeing these three figures, Ye Qiu’s heart jumped, his spirit shook violently.
Human-like Heavenly Tribulations!
And they resembled actual humans.
The appearance of these three figures truly made one’s blood run cold; it didn’t seem like overcoming tribulations, but rather like the descent of three powerful beings.
From afar, the Donghua Holy Son and elder were also dumbfounded, their shock was no less than Ye Qiu’s. If news of the humanoid tribulations, after the ancient beast form tribulations, reached the ancestral grounds, it would surely stir quite a storm.
"These are certainly supreme figures from some era, similar to the ancient beast tribulations, transformed by Heavenly Dao into tribulations," the elder said dazedly.
Even though he wasn’t the one overcoming tribulations, seeing the three tribulation figures, he felt a touch of suffocation, even as a Supreme Saint, he wasn’t confident to defeat these three humanoid tribulations.
"Nine tribulations, wielding nine Rule Powers, you are digging your own grave, can you still endure this? Haha..." the Donghua Holy Son suddenly burst into laughter.
The terrifying nature of the tribulations, arriving all at once, placed Ye Qiu again in a seemingly fatal position.
From heaven to hell, in just an instant.
Ye Qiu found he couldn’t even muster a bitter smile; three humanoid tribulations, could one still live?
Even if they hadn’t attacked yet, Ye Qiu already sensed the scent of death.
Not them dying, but his own demise!
"No wonder the people from the ancestral grounds don’t grasp more Rule Powers during the Imperial Realm, because the more you master, the more terrifying the Saint Realm tribulations become!"
Ye Qiu couldn’t muster a smile, feeling he had dug his own pit and buried himself in it.
The bitter fruit he sowed, finally had to be harvested and consumed by himself!
His mood plummeted to the lowest point, truly stirring a sense of reluctance to resist within his heart.
Those three humanoid tribulations merely stood there, instilling heart-stopping fear. How could he possibly overcome them? Let alone three, even one appearing, he wasn’t confident!
And all at once, the appearance of three humanoid tribulations brought a sense of desperation, helplessness, surrender, all these negative emotions swirling within.
"No, having this mindset while confronting tribulations will surely lead to my downfall." Ye Qiu shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to calm down, to clear his mind—escape, fear, ultimately are no solutions, the tribulations were right there, unavoidable.
He took a long breath in, then firmly expelled it, repeating this three or four times, finally Ye Qiu’s mood settled again, becoming tranquil like a still water.
In his gaze, brilliance gradually flickered; it signified eagerness, a fighting spirit, an all-out gamble.
"What of the tribulations? I firmly believe that man can triumph over heaven; a person’s path is theirs to forge."
"Since the predecessors couldn’t pave the way, I will take the lead and force open a path, even if it’s filled with thorns, I will progress with all my might, using my light to shine further!"
Ye Qiu felt a surge of grand aspiration; there were few who dared to undergo nine tribulations on the ancestral land, yet Ye Qiu embarked on a path others feared to tread.
Despite the path being deemed unfavorable, since it’s his choice, even if the future appears bleak, he must try.
Martial arts are about contending with the heavens, contending with others.
What harm is there in failing!
Kill!
Ye Qiu charged directly, delivering a punch.
Wave...
Ripples expanded through the void, the first tribal humanoid Ye Qiu attacked, extended a hand, gripping Ye Qiu’s fist, then twisted sharply—causing piercing pain, while Ye Qiu’s other arm smashed down, but failed to land on the humanoid tribulation, instead receiving a kick to the waist.
Bang!
Ye Qiu was knocked flying, crashing harshly against the distant planet.
"How strong!"
Battered Ye Qiu had blood at the corner of his mouth, merely one strike had inflicted severe injury, eliminating any sight of a path or hope.
Yet Ye Qiu didn’t surrender to self-seclusion because of it; to give up was to die, to fight was to die, so he fought.
Swish swish swish!
Lightning-like attacks, still missing their mark; in response, Ye Qiu faced simple moves from the humanoid here and there, whether fist or foot, each time landing, Ye Qiu spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion whitened further.
"Again!"
Like a wounded wolf, Ye Qiu exuded an aura of fearless determination, pouncing once more.
The outcome remained unchanged, just witnessing Ye Qiu’s newly transformed Sacred Body being gradually battered and bloodied, marked as the most tragic encounter in history.
