邪神之道 B1

Making a Mockery of the Tribulation

At the same time as Ye Gui Feng throws up a mouthful of blood the vortex closes.

Replacing that vortex is the sight of rumbling lightning from within a layer of dark clouds.

"A Tribulation?"

Alarmed Elder Shu and Elder Cai look towards Ye Gui Feng.

"It's for him!?"

Having noticed this as well Yang Jian Hao and Wei Hailan also turned their eyes towards Ye Gui Feng. They didn't believe it but it was most certainly directed at Ye Gui Feng.

A Tribulation from the heavens is not meant to happen until the Nascent Soul realm.

"Isn't he just at the Core Formation realm?"

"There's no time to get an explanation! Back away!"

In actuality this is a special characteristic for those with the physique of a Heavenly Demon. The heaven despises demons so transcending immortality as a demon is by far a greater challenge than to do so as a normal practitioner.

In the midst of a Tribulation no one can help Ye Gui Feng. He had to rely on himself. Generally a practitioner will have a magic treasure at the ready to help but this situation is just far too sudden so no one had expected this to happen.

"Uh..."

Wiping away the blood from his mouth Ye Gui Feng stares up at the Tribulation Clouds. His body releases more dark mist as ghosts surround him.

Inwardly Ye Gui Feng knew that he must withstand a total of nine lightning bolts to pass through this Tribulation. Each one will be double the strength of the last.

"So the heavens in this world despises demons..."

With a weak laugh Ye Gui Feng smiles. He wasn't too surprised. Within Xie Mo Xin's notebook there was a saying...

"Cāngqióng hèn mó, mó hèn cāngqióng. (苍穹恨魔，魔恨苍穹。Translation: The heavens hate the demons, the demons hate the heavens.)"

It was a mutual relationship of hate. Since that's the case the demon must be overbearing in their Tribulations and force the heavens acknowledge their existence.

"I'm going down the final boss route so there's no way for me to die under the hands of anyone other than the main character."

Ye Gui Feng's bloodshot eyes shine with determination. He didn't know why he had been brought into this world but he is surely not going to die so easily.

"..."

Silence dominates the entire battlefield. Everyone turns their eyes in Ye Gui Feng's direction as they wanted to see just how he will surpass it.

At the same time fighting while in the midst of someone's Tribulation can be rather risky as they might accidently attract the lightning bolts to themselves.

*Crackle!* the first thunderbolt comes down and Ye Gui Feng raises the Sky Serpent Cane in his hand towards it.

The dark mist around Ye Gui Feng churns as they form a dense layer of smoky walls in front of him.

*Boom!* the first bolt hits the wall of dark mist and dissipates rather easily.

Soon the second bolt follows as a beam of red thunder pierces down from the dark clouds and zaps the wall of dark mist!

The second bolt also dissipates just as easily and immediately after a third bolt comes forth. This one moves even faster than the last and smashes onto the dark wall of mist.

It wasn't fully stopped as a bit of it pierces through and struck Ye Gui Feng who grits his teeth.

Ye Gui Feng knew for certain that the incoming fourth bolt will pierce through his defense completely but he isn't too worried.

"I've nothing to fear from this Tribulation after all..."

With an arrogant expression on his face Ye Gui Feng clenches a fist in excitement for the Tribulation to pass.

Just as Ye Gui Feng had predicted the fourth thunderbolt falls and pierces right through his defensive wall but at the moment of when it would hit him a pale white hand blocks it off causing many eyes to widen in astonishment.

"What!?"

"That Jiangshi just-!"

Snow white hair flows as Xiao Ju Hong with an expressionless face holds a hand over Ye Gui Feng's face. It had easily blocked off the fourth thunderbolt.

The eyes of the disciples, elders, and the patriarchs from the Heavenly Pillar Sect are nearly on the verge of popping out.

For the people of the Burial Grounds Sect it was a lot better. They merely looked towards Ye Gui Feng with mixed feelings.

"Senior brother Ye is truly godly..."

"Isn't this cheating?"

"Dammit I want a Jiangshi like that!"

"So unfair..."

Ye Gui Feng smirks as he soon breaks out into a demon lord like laughter.

"Muahahahaha! Heavenly Tribulation my ass! What do I have to fear with Xiao Ju Hong by my side!? C'mon rain the remaining bolts down and get this over with!"

Just for good measure Ye Gui Feng purposefully points a middle finger towards the thunder clouds in a mocking fashion.

*Rumble!* the dark clouds roar viciously as if it was thoroughly offended.

The thunderclouds didn't bother to rain down each thunderbolt one by one anymore. Instead it directly strikes down a single bolt of thunder that caused many to put on a dumbfound expression.

"Ah...?"

"This...?"

"Holy..."

The thunderbolt is bright red and is as thick as a giant's arm. It has the combined strength of the last five thunderbolts put together!

Despite the shock that the others are going through Ye Gui Feng felt no sense of fear when Xiao Ju Hong expressionlessly stepping in front of him.

The red eyes of Xiao Ju Hong shines as it clenches its right fist. The Chrysanthemum of the Bloody Moon on the side Xiao Ju Hong's head shines as it releases particles of red.

Towards the incoming thunderbolt Xiao Ju Hong punches out with its pale white fist!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!* the bright red thunderbolt that is the size of a giant's arm collapses upon meeting Xiao Ju Hong's fist head on!

It didn't matter if it had come from a Tribulation Cloud or not in the face of a Soul Separation realm Jiangshi's force of power it meant nothing!

"Heh."

Ye Gui Feng smiles as the red light around his body intensifies. He can feel his strength climbing into the 21st level of Qi Condensation.

The three eyed crow's phantom that's behind Ye Gui Feng's back becomes slightly more corporeal as it raises another cry.

As his cultivation base rises Ye Gui Feng's nails turn black. The edges sharpen almost like the talons of a crow.
