Chapter 177: Saint's Tribulation, Emperor's Punishment
Prince Duan is already a person who stands at the pinnacle of the way of killing. After wearing the quasi-imperial level battle suit, he can even contend with the semi-saint level without losing the upper hand.
However, facing Chai Xin's two most powerful secret techniques, he was still unable to contend with them and eventually died.
"Lao Wu!"
A cry of shock and grief came from deep within the palace. It was Emperor Yuhua who noticed the death of Prince Duan.
"Your crimes are as deep as the sea. I will kill all nine generations of your clan! Death!"
In an instant, the imperial dragon energy swept across the heavens, and the golden dragon of destiny, which had been constantly weakened by He Laodao and others in the killing formation, suddenly let out a dragon roar that resounded throughout the universe.
The next moment, the Feathered Battle Suit, which was suppressed by the Xuanhuang Seal, shone brightly. Even though Chai Xin blocked it forcefully, it was still in danger of slipping away due to the pull of its bloodline power.
"Once you're in my hands, where can you escape?"
Chai Xin took out the Lihuo God Furnace and, with all his strength, he finally suppressed the Yuhua Battle Suit that was activated by the Yuhua Emperor. He put it in the furnace and suppressed it temporarily.
"evil creature!"
When Emperor Yuhua sensed that his Yuhua battle suit was out of control, he almost vomited blood, and his majestic old face was extremely cold.
"Old man, you're still distracted when fighting me?"
The dragon horse's hooves were like mountains, crushing layers of space and pressing down on the shoulders of the Yuhua Emperor.
The real combat power of Emperor Yuhua is actually only slightly higher than that of Prince Duan, but has not yet reached the level of a semi-saint.
Without the blessing of the feathered battle suit, he is even worse than Prince Duan who is wearing the battle suit.
However, as he formed seals with his hands and summoned with the Jade Seal of the Lord of the Divine Dynasty, the huge golden dragon of luck roared and flew up and rushed into his body.
In the blink of an eye, his aura surged out of thin air, immediately surpassing the semi-saint level and almost touching the border of saint!
With the Golden Dragon of Luck possessing him, even if a true saint came, he might not be able to defeat him in a short time.
This kind of secret method can only be performed by Emperor Yuhua, who is the emperor of the Divine Dynasty and holds the imperial seal. Even Prince Duan cannot do it.
"A horse is just a mount, yet it dares to kick and kick me! It is a heinous crime!"
The Yuhua Emperor's black hair fluttered, his golden dragon robe fluttered, and his whole body seemed to be burning with the fire of destiny, which made all the clouds above the sky disappear.
"Dragon Horse, retreat quickly!"
Longma was already furious at being treated so lightly, and wanted to do his best to make the old guy in front of him suffer, but he stopped immediately after hearing Chai Xin's light shout.
Chai Xin transformed into a purple-gold dragon and came close in an instant.
"Not only Longma, but also Old Crane, Old Ox, and Old Ape. All of you retreat, retreat ten thousand miles... no, fifty thousand miles away! Immediately!"
His face was serious and his voice was unquestionable as he issued some confusing orders.
Although Ryoma usually says he is not afraid and goes against Shiba Nobuyuki, he does not let down his guard at critical moments.
Seeing Chai Xin being so cautious and confident, he immediately transformed into a body of several dozen feet tall and pulled He Laodao and others who were still in a daze onto his back.
"What's going on? Now that the situation is favorable, why are you asking us to retreat?"
"Don't talk nonsense, just listen to the master!"
The dragon horse roared and disappeared hundreds of miles away in an instant.
At this time, they finally sensed something was wrong. There seemed to be a gloomy and heavy atmosphere between heaven and earth.
“This… this is a heavenly tribulation! That old fellow, the Yuhua Emperor, actually attracted his saintly tribulation!”
Taoist He had the most profound cultivation and was only half a step away from becoming a semi-saint. In a mysterious way, he was already very close to his own sage tribulation, so he was the first to realize the truth.
"He hasn't even touched the threshold of a semi-saint, how could he possibly attract the saint's calamity? Moreover, even if he did, how would he be able to survive it?"
The black ape had a solemn expression on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were almost bursting through.
Thunder and fire appeared under the dragon horse's feet, and its speed was getting faster and faster. In a short while, it had already escaped more than a thousand miles away. At this moment, the calamity energy between heaven and earth was already evident, and all the cultivators could sense it.
“After all, the Yuhua Divine Dynasty was founded by the Great Emperor, so it’s not surprising that they have some secret methods to trigger the heavenly tribulation… And don’t forget, with the blessing of the Golden Dragon of Luck, the difficulty of overcoming the tribulation will be reduced by at least 30%!”
Longma's tone was more serious than ever before, with a hint of worry in it.
"The master asked us to leave because he was worried that we wouldn't be able to withstand the Saint's Tribulation. The most important thing is that the three of you have already reached the peak of the Way of Slaying, especially Old He... If you are also triggered into the Saint's Tribulation, the added increase will be enough to finish us all off!"
In fact, at this point, without his explanation, the three demons including He Laodao understood Chai Xin's intention.
"Why doesn't the master retreat with us? After all, it is a saint's calamity, it is no trivial matter!" Manniu pondered, with some worry in his tone.
"How can you and I guess what the headmaster is thinking? And in my opinion, the headmaster's ultimate combat power is not necessarily weaker than that of an ordinary saint. He is probably trying to hone himself through this."
Taoist He seemed much calmer. Whether in terms of cultivation or vision, he was the sharpest among the few.
Long Ma also nodded and said: "The strength of the master is indeed beyond your and my imagination... We just need to follow his orders."
"Hey, Longma, what happened in the core of the fairyland? Since then, you have more confidence in the master than we do..."
"Yes, stop hiding it and tell us!"
"Want to know? If you can make me happy, I'll tell you!"
"Screw you……"
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, the three of us will beat you up!"
Yuhua Imperial City, deep in the palace.
"You little devil, I underestimated your courage. You clearly sensed the coming of the calamity, yet you were still so calm!"
Emperor Yuhua was originally wary of Chai Xin's escape, but he found that the other party had no intention of leaving at all. He was both surprised and delighted.
When he learned that Chai Xin had returned, he and Prince Duan made a plan.
Originally, I thought that even if the other party could suppress Prince Yuhua, it was only because of the favorable time and location of the Demon Fetus World. Even if his strength was not weak, it was at most the initial stage of the Way of Killing.
That's why he sent the Prince of Duan and set up a killing array using the dragon veins, intending to surround and kill Chai Xin.
The two of them discovered the secret in the half-scroll of "The Picture of Becoming Immortal" handed down by the royal family, and found a secret method to overcome the tribulation.
This matter concerns whether one can become a saint, so it is naturally more important than killing Chai Xin.
Unfortunately, Chai Xin's strength was beyond their imagination. He crushed their enemies with unstoppable force all the way to here.
Even the killing formation set up by the Golden Dragon of Luck was unable to do anything to the opponent.
Emperor Yuhua had no choice but to send Prince Duan to meet the enemy. He also had to change his plan and no longer try to comprehend the secret art of transcending the tribulation. Instead, he practiced a part of the secret art that he had already mastered.
That is the method of forcibly attracting one's own natural tribulation!
Although there are risks in doing so, after all, if one has not practiced the complete secret technique of overcoming the tribulation, one may not be able to safely overcome the saintly tribulation if one is attracted to it.
However, facing the current situation and the strong strength displayed by Chai Xin, they had no choice. Unfortunately, the two still underestimated Chai Xin and his followers.
Not only did Chai Xin crush Prince Duan who was wearing a feathered battle suit, but even a horse could compete head-on with him, the emperor!
In a hurry, they had no choice but to drastically consume the fortune of the Divine Dynasty and draw on the blessing of the Golden Dragon of Fortune.
While resisting Chai Xin, he finally completed the last step of triggering the heavenly calamity.
"So what if it's a saint's calamity? I just want to see it for myself."
Chai Xin didn't think that the saint calamity of the old guy in front of him could be much stronger than his great calamity of beheading, so he was very confident.
The reason why He Laodao and others were asked to retreat was indeed because they were afraid that their heavenly tribulation would be triggered.
By that time, the saintly calamities of several people will be superimposed, and the power will be so great that even the Saint King would be seriously injured, let alone him.
Self-confidence is not arrogance. Chai Xin has not forgotten who he is just because of his powerful strength.
"But you, old fellow, without your Feathered Battle Suit, relying only on the Luck Golden Dragon, can you really survive the Saint Tribulation?"
While he was speaking, his hands were not idle. He kept waving the Xuanhuang Seal like a huge brick, repeatedly hitting the dragon head that appeared above the head of Emperor Yuhua.
At the same time, the Yuantian secret technique was also in operation, not forgetting to seize the dragon energy from the golden dragon of luck.
Emperor Yuhua was extremely depressed. Normally, the dragon energy of the Golden Dragon of Fortune had the effect of suppressing the enemy, but when facing Chai Xin, it was like meat on a chopping board.
He could only rely on the increased strength brought by the Golden Dragon of Luck to fight Chai Xin head-on, and he was unable to avoid being swallowed by the opponent.
As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, it is easy to fall into a disadvantage over time.
"boom!"
But at this moment, hundreds of blue-purple lightning bolts as thick as mountains fell from the void and covered the two of them in an instant.
Emperor Yuhua was not surprised but happy. The heavenly calamity had finally arrived. This was his last resort to suppress Chai Xin.
Protected by both the imperial dragon energy and the golden dragon of luck, he was indeed unharmed by the thunder, but he just stared at Chai Xin with burning eyes.
"Alas, that's all."
The lightning dissipated, and Chai Xin's handsome face emerged, even with a hint of disappointment.
This is truly someone else's heavenly calamity. It cannot be compared with the first wave of his great calamity, which was a scale of sea of thunder all over the sky.
"Why bother being so stubborn? This is just the first wave. I don't believe you can remain calm!"
There was a flash of solemnity in Emperor Yuhua's eyes, but he quickly returned to his calm state.
With the strength that Chai Xin had demonstrated before, it was natural for him to withstand this first wave of thunder tribulation.
However, the saint's calamity will never be so simple.
"It's really disappointing. You might want to see it to the end, but I just don't have the heart to do it."
From the power of the first wave of thunder tribulation, Chai Xin could estimate the strongest level of the opponent's saint tribulation.
Obviously, it was inferior to his Dao-slaying Great Tribulation. For him who was now able to fight against saints, it was indeed not worth mentioning.
Originally, he wanted to use the opponent's saint tribulation to hone himself, but looking at the current situation, he was afraid that this heavenly tribulation would hardly have much of a tempering effect on him.
"what?"
Emperor Yuhua frowned. He didn’t quite understand what Chai Xin was saying.
Chai Xin was too lazy to say anything more. He just raised his right fist and smashed it out regardless of the thunder that was pouring down from the sky again.
"boom!"
A punch was thrown out, purple light wrapped around the void, and hit the right face of Emperor Yuhua solidly.
The golden dragon energy surged, dissolving a part of the fist force, but it was difficult to offset it completely. Emperor Yuhua was caught off guard, and a purple fist mark immediately appeared on his majestic cheek.
If it weren't for the golden dragon of luck protecting him, this punch would have been enough to take his life.
"I've said it before, without your Feathered Battle Suit, you're nothing."
Chai Xin's tone was cold, he no longer held back, his whole body was surging with energy, surging purple air enveloped the sky, he looked like a god of war from heaven.
The blessing of the Golden Dragon of Luck is certainly not weak, but it is not a weapon after all. If compared with the quasi-imperial feathered battle suit which is purely used for combat, it is obviously used in the wrong place.
Emperor Yuhua was a little confused. Not only did he have to fight against Chai Xin's attack, but he also had to resist the thunder from the sky.
He is not as perverted as Chai Xin. Even with the protection of the golden dragon of luck, he still cannot completely ignore the heavenly calamity.
But he couldn’t understand, no matter how powerful Chai Xin was, how could he be immune to the saint’s heavenly tribulation!
Under the dual attack of Tianjie and Chai Xin, he was completely defeated in just a dozen breaths.
"You... why do you have to force me so hard? Just tell me what you want, I will definitely grant it!"
Emperor Yuhua was panicking. He had realized that his so-called last "trump card" could not do anything to the young man in front of him.
Hearing this, Chai Xin shook his head and sneered: "I didn't want anything at first, but now... I want everything from your Yuhua Divine Dynasty!"
Emperor Yuhua was about to vomit blood. He recalled the reason for the whole incident and wished he could resurrect Prince Hui Yuming and then strangle him to death with his own hands.
Just because of an arrogant and domineering playboy, such a terrifying and powerful enemy was provoked, which was about to destroy the Yuhua Divine Dynasty that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years!
"Young man, our Yuhua Divine Dynasty was founded by the Great Emperor after all, and it has a foundation that you cannot imagine... Do you really want to do this to the extreme? If you want compensation, you can sit down and talk."
Emperor Yuhua was already in a desperate situation, with no power to fight back, and could only bow his head and surrender.
He might not be afraid of death, but he could not accept being the king of a fallen country and the destroyer of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty!
At first, he didn't take Chai Xin seriously at all, and just thought of him as a young genius who was dissatisfied with the Divine Dynasty - there were too many geniuses like this, and they had emerged one after another over the past hundreds of thousands of years.
The way to deal with them is nothing more than to win them over or eliminate them.
But the other party had already killed the direct descendants of the royal family, so there was naturally no possibility of winning him over, and he could only decide to eliminate him.
However, he could never have imagined that the other party was growing so fast. In the past few years, he had to fight hard with the prince, but now he can crush him, the king of a country!
"Don't worry, I'm not that cruel. I won't destroy the Yuhua Dynasty. I'll just get rid of you, the emperor. When the time comes, I'll be able to take whatever you have in your treasury."
Chai Xin was telling the truth. In his opinion, killing the emperor was not the same as destroying the Divine Dynasty.
The emperor can be re-appointed after his death, but only when the royal power collapses completely can the country be considered destroyed.
The reason why they did not plan to massacre all the Yuhua royal family was that they had some concerns. No one knew whether a dynasty that once produced a great emperor would have any hidden means at the moment of extinction.
"As long as no one provokes me again, I will only kill the emperor today."
Chai Xin's voice rumbled and spread throughout the imperial city.
But it was not just said to Emperor Yuhua, but also to let him feel the possible existence of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty in the dark.
"You are so clear about these things. You are indeed from a great emperor's family... Well, I am not strong enough, so I can't blame anyone. I hope you will keep your promise and only kill me... Otherwise, you will regret it."
Emperor Yuhua had lost all desire to fight. After saying this dejectedly, he completely lost his life force.
