Chapter 168 Why come now?

Even though Penglai Tianzun was extremely cunning, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of anger and viciousness at this moment.

Although it was fleeting and he quickly turned into a sighing and helpless look, Chai Xin was always paying attention to his face with his spiritual mind and could see it very clearly.

This surprised Chai Xin a little. This old guy who had fallen into the devil's way was really patient. He killed his men in front of him and remained calm.

In his mind, the danger level of Penglai Tianzun immediately increased to a higher level.

This kind of enemy who is good at forbearance is far more terrifying than those arrogant and self-righteous guys.

"Alas... He acted rashly and launched the great protective formation to surround and kill fellow Taoists without authorization. He really brought it upon himself. I think Kun'er's domineering character was brought up by him, so it is not a pity that he should die. I only hope that fellow Taoists' anger can be calmed down and the war can be turned into friendship."

Penglai Tianzun sighed deeply and showed a compassionate expression, as if he was really an indecisive and easy-going person who could be manipulated by others.

Chai Xin knew that he was acting, but his disciples did not and were all stunned.

Seeing that the headmaster was ruthlessly killed by Chai Xin, but the Tianzun they worshipped as a god still had this attitude, many people were chilled and confused for a moment.

What happened to this world?
Why did Penglai, which was once aloof from the world and seemed to be above all major religions in the world, become like this overnight?

He allowed anyone to break into the sect and kill the headmaster, deputy headmaster, and even a saint, but he could just swallow his anger!

Many ordinary disciples were disappointed and angry, but more of the older generation noticed something unusual.

In fact, it cannot be said that they are so perceptive, but they know Tianzun well enough.

Although Penglai Tianzun lives in seclusion, he has always been self-centered and decisive. How could he show such a weak side?
As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. In this situation, there must be something fishy going on.

They did not dare to ruin Tianzun's plan, and at the same time they were deeply afraid of Chai Xin's strength, so they killed the headmaster casually. Although it was an unexpected action, it was enough to scare everyone.

"Turn hostility into friendship?"

Chai Xin smiled as he took the precious tree floating in the air into his hands. The object had lost its controller and could not struggle at all.

"Old man, are you taking me for a fool, or are you just too stupid?"

His smile disappeared in an instant, and the coldness between his brows turned into a blade, chilling the hearts of those present.

As soon as he said this, his figure disappeared again. Only a faint purple light remained in the void, which quickly passed by the side of the nearest powerful old Penglai man.

"what!"

"No!"

In an instant, screams were heard everywhere, and several figures were covered in blood in the sky. They had almost no power to resist and were killed by Chai Xin. They then fell from the clouds, splashing up clouds of dust.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Chai Xin to be so murderous.

Tianzun didn't care about him killing the headmaster, but he became more aggressive and started a real killing spree!

It was not until this time that Penglai Tianzun came to his senses and realized that his plan had never worked from beginning to end, and the boy in front of him did not take his words to heart at all.

Given his temperament and cultivation, the reason why he was still stunned was actually that he was a little confused.

He didn't expect Chai Xin to be so cruel. He was even more evil than this guy who practiced magic. He had humbled himself so much, but he still refused to give up.

"What a mistake! This kid was able to destroy the Western Church without any scruples. He is indeed a ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye. We shouldn't treat him as an ordinary young boy who has practiced for more than ten years..."

At this moment, Penglai Tianzun felt a slight regret.

He used such roundabout means in the hope of capturing Chai Xin without bloodshed, but he never expected that so many powerful people and geniuses from Penglai would have lost their lives in vain.

"I have been tolerant and yielding, but you have no scruples at all. Do you really think that I, Penglai, am easy to bully?"

Penglai Tianzun no longer disguised himself, his face was as gloomy as water, and his voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, wrapped in a strong aura of murderous intent, as if he had become a completely different person.

The original gentle and simple temperament disappeared, replaced by a cold, domineering and self-centered attitude.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a huge black handprint that covered the sky and the sun. In an instant, it pressed through the sky and grabbed the purple light that was so powerful that no one could resist it.

This person's strength is extraordinary, far beyond the ordinary King of the Way of Slaying. Even the Western Pope who was killed by Chai Xin was far inferior to him.

Just this one attack, without activating the power of the innate magic circle, nor controlling any magic weapon, but it has already surpassed the Pope's strongest state.

If this big hand really grabs, the King of Zhan Dao will also be seriously injured and completely lose his combat effectiveness.

This is also because Penglai Tianzun has witnessed Chai Xin's several attacks and knows that the opponent cannot be judged by the strength of an ordinary second-level cultivator of the Immortal Platform.

Therefore, he would use all his strength when he attacked, without holding back at all, in order to kill with one strike.

Unfortunately, Chai Xin was much more powerful than he had imagined, and he was well prepared for this trip.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap and dazzling blue lightning burst out from the void, aiming directly at Chai Xin's head, but was blocked by the black handprint that arrived at the same time.

"boom!"

The huge black handprint was suddenly dimmed by three or four points, and when it pressed towards Chai Xin again, it was no longer worth mentioning.

"Old man, do you really think I would dare to break into your lair alone without any preparation?"

Chai Xin laughed loudly, and with his right fist surrounded by purple energy, he casually punched out, completely defeating the weakened handprint.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Penglai Tianzun and his disciples could react, the entire sky suddenly darkened.

Then, a sea of ​​blue and purple thunder suddenly descended, covering the entire sky.

The terrifying pressure made it hard to breathe.

"What kind of magic weapon is this, or is it a Taoist technique?"

"What on earth is going on? Why did such a massive thunder appear out of nowhere between heaven and earth?"

Most people had never experienced a calamity before and had no idea what had happened. They thought that Chai Xin had used some powerful secret treasure or spell.

However, there were also some experienced and powerful elders who, when they saw these thunders, couldn't help but think of the records in many ancient books.

Heavenly Tribulation!

The earth is still in the Dharma-Ending Age. There are very few people who can break through to the Xiantai Secret Realm, and it is even rarer to be able to trigger a heavenly calamity.

Although these old masters were quite powerful, they had spent countless years to cultivate themselves. How could they have ever seen a heavenly tribulation? Seeing it with their own eyes, their eyes almost popped out.

Penglai Tianzun recognized him immediately. After all, he was the King of the Way of Slashing. He must have experienced a great calamity when he first entered the realm of the Way of Slashing.

However, the scale of this thunder tribulation was enough to dazzle even him.

Who triggered the heavenly calamity? And it was only the beginning, but it already had such terrifying power?

It’s no wonder that he found it hard to believe. The extent of this thunder tribulation was simply too terrifying.

As soon as it appeared, there was a sea of ​​thunder that covered the sky and the sun, as if the entire sky had crashed down from the heavens, and there was no escape at all!
"Ruined……"

Even as powerful as Penglai Tianzun, the first thought that came to his mind the moment he saw this shocking thunder tribulation was this.

It’s not that he is a coward, but he has a clear understanding that this level of thunder tribulation is enough to destroy the entire Penglai!
Not only that, he was well aware of the characteristics of the heavenly tribulation - it would trigger the heavenly tribulation of all those who were about to undergo the tribulation within the attack range!

And on this Penglai Island, all the cultivators above the Xiantai Secret Realm have been trapped at the limits of their respective realms for many years, unable to make any progress.

Including himself, they have reached a certain limit and it is difficult to go any further no matter what.

It's not that his talent is too poor or that he doesn't have enough resources. It's simply that the laws on earth are not clear and he can't comprehend the great Dao!
If not so, how could the Heavenly Lord of the Penglai Fairy Island, a giant of the righteous path who was born in the late ancient times and has lived to the present day, abandon everything, disregard his ancestors and reputation, and take the initiative to trade with the demon fetus?

He had been trapped in the Zhan Dao realm for too long and had been unable to break through. His life span had come to an end and he could not delay any longer. He had no other choice at all.

This also means that he has already reached the point where he can trigger a heavenly calamity, but has been unable to overcome it only because the avenue of the earth is not obvious.

"Why did you come now?"

Suddenly, Penglai Tianzun's eyes turned red, and wisps of black energy emanated from his body, as if he had gone possessed.

"Why did you come now? You came now and made me lose all hope! I gave everything! I hate it!"

He roared and snarled, completely disregarding everything, and rushed towards Chai Xin who was in the center of the sea of ​​thunder.

Neither the thunder that kept striking him nor the disciples who were screaming and turning to ashes under the heavenly calamity could attract his attention.

At this moment, he had fallen into a hysterical state, with only extremely strong murderous intent in his eyes, and he was determined to kill Chai Xin.

Chai Xin frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled.

Even though they had a deep hatred, he was still a powerful being who dominated the world. How could he suddenly lose his composure like this?
Could it be that the magic skills this guy was practicing were triggered by the heavenly calamity?
Chai Xin thought about it and finally only thought of this possibility.

I have to say, he barely guessed it right.

There are actually two reasons why Penglai Tianzun is so crazy.

Firstly, he had already entered the path of evil and it was impossible for him to withstand the heavenly calamity, so he planned to preach to the west, to gather his faith and to enter the holy path in an alternative way.

As we all know, the control of the heavenly tribulation over the evil path has reached an unprecedented level.

Secondly, the reason why he chose to practice magic was because the great way was not obvious and he could not sense the heavenly calamity.

If he had a choice at the beginning, even if he had to borrow someone else's heavenly tribulation to cut his way through, he would have given it a try. He might fail, but it was not impossible for him to succeed.

In that case, no matter whether he succeeds or fails in the end, he will still be upright and worthy of the reputation of Penglai Tianzun, a sage who was admired by his ancestors, and a giant of the righteous path.

Although it is very likely that the tribulation will not succeed, there is still hope - after all, even when practicing magic, there is a great possibility of failure!
In the end, it's just a fight for your life.

Since we are all risking our lives, who wouldn't want to die honorably and gloriously? Rather than abandoning the great cause that one has pursued all his life and turning into a despicable monster?

Now, Penglai Tianzun has been deeply possessed by the devil and there is no turning back.

At this moment, the heavenly tribulation that he had been seeking so hard for in the first place was suddenly triggered. Moreover, as a demon, there was no possibility of success. How could he not fall into madness?

This is also the fundamental reason why he shouted "Why did you come here only now?"

If Chai Xin had come earlier and given him hope of triggering the heavenly calamity, perhaps he would not have taken that step.

It has to be said that even though he has been possessed by the devil, he is the only one who understands what it has been like over the years.

Chai Xin didn't know all of this, and even if he did, he would just sigh a few words at most.

The enemy is the enemy, no matter how helpless and sad it is, it is still the enemy.

Since they are enemies, they must be eliminated. Only dead enemies are good enemies.

This has always been his purpose.

Although Penglai Tianzun was powerful, he had practiced magic and was suppressed too harshly in the heavenly calamity. The thunder seemed to have eyes and struck him more fiercely than chopping firewood.

In addition, he had lost his rationality to a large extent, and his actions were extreme but illogical. Although they caused some trouble to Chai Xin, they did not cause him any substantial damage.

Moreover, as the thunder tribulations became more powerful, the suppression and attacks on Penglai Tianzun became greater. Soon he was no longer able to trouble Chai Xin and could only do his best to withstand the fierce heavenly punishment.

The great calamity of beheading was indeed terrifying. Even the calamity clouds could not be seen. Every corner of the space was filled with surging thunder, as if one had entered a world where only thunder and lightning existed.

Penglai Island also suffered from this. Many towering mountains were smashed into pieces by lightning, and even some cities were destroyed. Countless people screamed.

If it weren't for the extremely powerful innate magic formation here, which has a certain protective power even if no one is controlling it, these people would probably have died.

However, the heavenly calamity seemed to have some "intelligence" and would try its best to avoid areas with more ordinary people. Therefore, the cities that were struck were basically inhabited by cultivators, just like the Holy City in the Big Dipper Star Region.

At this point, no one cared about Chai Xin except Penglai Tianzun.

Everyone was running for their lives, but at this moment, thunder and lightning were everywhere. In the cave world that spanned tens of thousands of miles, there were flashes of lightning almost everywhere, giving a scene of doomsday.

This is because many old and powerful people who were on the verge of undergoing the tribulation were also triggered by the thunder tribulation. They had already run out of the range of Chai Xin's tribulation and wanted to hide in the corner to survive their own heavenly punishment.

It has to be said that with the "bonus" of so many people, Chai Xin's heavenly tribulation was amplified many times.

In the past, the tribulations came one after another, but this time, they were continuous, without a moment's rest from beginning to end. All kinds of divine thunders, recorded or not recorded in ancient books, kept falling down.

Even with Chai Xin's strength, he gradually became covered with wounds, and there was no intact skin left on his body.

Despite this, he was not afraid. Instead, he became more courageous and more motivated.

He hung the Xuanhuang Seal above his head and used his fists to fight against all kinds of thunder. The powerful energy and blood rumbled and shook the nine heavens and ten earths.
