Chapter 470: Sacrificing Life to Protect
The reason why Chai Xin dared to make such a boast in front of Yi Zu, saying that no matter how strong the heavenly calamity was, it was nothing to worry about, was because of the confidence given to him by the Divine Jade of Creation.
The original power contained in the heavenly calamity is actually the power of heaven.
The power of Heaven is a force worthy of awe for any cultivator. Even the legendary Heavenly Sovereign must be treated with caution.
However, the Divine Jade of Creation can transform the power of Heaven into the original power of creation, and will not allow it to harm Chai Xin at all.
The moment the Jade of Creation was activated, an infinite amount of holy light immediately burst out from Chai Xin's body, and the whole person seemed to be wrapped in a vibrant river of starlight.
At this time, the ancient god of chaos in the sky also happened to wave his palm again and hit the Xuanhuang Seal.
"Buzz!"
However, this time, there was no earth-shattering explosion.
The moment the chaotic palm force containing infinite power of heaven landed on the surface of Xuanhuang Seal, it was like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, disappearing into nothingness in an instant.
Seeing this scene, everyone around couldn't help but widen their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
Even someone like Yi Zu couldn't help but have his eyelids twitching, finding it unbelievable.
"That Chaos Palm Power actually disappeared just like that... What kind of power is that clear light on Xin'er's body?"
Yi Zu stared at the warm light emanating from Chai Xin with burning eyes, and the worry in his eyes faded a little.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the heavenly tribulation underwent an even more shocking change.
"Humph!"
The ancient god of chaos wearing armor, seeing Chai Xin dissolve his palm power with his inexplicable power, actually let out a muffled groan like thunder.
Then, he raised his hands suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, which was one hundred thousandth of a finger snap, he slapped down nine times at the same time!
The nine palm prints were instantly superimposed together, and beings below the level of Saint Immortal could not even understand that these were nine palms combined into one.
He only felt a palm print that was ten times darker in color than the previous two palm prints, smashing down with a force that could oppress the sky.
However, despite the extremely powerful momentum of this palm, the moment it touched the Xuanhuang Seal, it once again turned into nothingness in an instant, just like the previous palm.
But this is not the end yet. After the ancient god of chaos slapped out nine times, he showed no intention of stopping.
Another round of palms came down, like a violent storm, completely covering Chai Xin.
Chai Xin stood in the surging waves formed by the palm power, but his expression remained calm, without any sign of panic.
And no matter how fierce the Chaos Ancient God's attack was, he could never break through his defense at all.
All the chaotic palm power will be completely absorbed by the Jade of Creation the moment it falls on the Xuanhuang Seal, and transformed into the purest original power of creation.
Under the nourishment of this force, the Jade of Creation not only did not suffer any consumption, but instead gradually grew stronger and its power became more and more powerful.
As the owner of the Jade of Creation, Chai Xin also gained some benefits from the power of chaos.
At least his body and soul had undergone some refinement, becoming more and more dazzling and unfathomable.
At this time, the body of the Ancient God of Chaos had become extremely weak, as if all of his strength had been consumed by the hundreds and thousands of palms just now.
"He... has survived this? Even such a calamity could not destroy him!"
"No! The calamity aura has not yet dissipated, I'm afraid there will be more calamities! This boy is so rebellious that the Hongmeng calamity couldn't kill him, so how can he trigger an infinite calamity?"
"Infinite calamity? How is that possible? According to legend, that is the calamity that only those who are promoted to emperors will encounter!"
Everyone who saw this scene was talking about it.
At this moment, they even ignored the fact that Chai Xin was the enemy. They were shocked by the terrifying strength Chai Xin showed when he was overcoming the tribulation, and the incredible tribulation he brought upon himself!
"Infinite calamity... It's actually an infinite calamity! Even for me, it would be extremely difficult to survive it. It contains countless dangers! I never thought that I, the last disciple, would be envied by the heavens like this?"
Yi Zu was hiding in the depths of infinite space, looking at the scene of his disciple transcending the tribulation from afar, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
He never imagined that the disciple he accepted before his death would have such an unheard-of talent!
“Anyone who enjoys great fortune must go through a great calamity. The ancients were not deceiving me… I hope that he can survive this calamity, condense the Heavenly Heart Holy Realm, derive the Holy Immortal Laws, and achieve the realm of a saint.”
At this point, even someone as powerful as Yi Zu can only rely on prayer.
He couldn't even get too close, otherwise he would be pulled by the calamity energy, which might lead to an even more terrifying calamity.
Not only will they be unable to help Chai Xin, but they will end up dying together.
Of course, this was because he did not understand the characteristics of the Jade of Creation, which led to such worries.
In fact, if Chai Xin was not worried that his master would be frightened, he would even want to invite him into the calamity, so that the fate of the calamity would change beyond imagination.
In this way, as the calamity continues to intensify, not only will it not cause harm to him, but it will make the Jade of Creation even more powerful.
At the same time, he himself can also undergo further transformation by receiving the nourishment from the divine jade.
But there was no way to convince Yi Zu to do something as crazy as going through the tribulation with him...
"Shhhhh!"
But at this moment, endless light suddenly emerged from the void, bright and dazzling. Even those at the Saint level felt their eyes stinging when they saw it.
If you look directly at it for a long time, you may even go blind!
"The Infinite Tribulation is coming! That is the Infinite Light, each ray of which can kill a Saint Immortal. Even the Supreme Immortal must face it with caution!"
In Taining City, inside the temple of Eternal Lord, a Taoist priest who was guarding the temple cried out in surprise.
Like the old man who received Chai Xin in the temple of Shenning City, he is the strongest trump card of their respective cities. He is a true immortal and has the authority to control the guardian formation and the power of faith in times of crisis.
Even a person like this couldn't help but show shock when he saw the dazzling divine light in the void.
The Shenzhou Sect actually produced such an extraordinary monster. This is not a good thing for the Taiyi Sect and other major forces.
But now that things have come to this, he did not dare to rush into the heavenly calamity to kill Chai Xin, as that would almost be an act of seeking death.
However, the infinite light that even saints dared not look at and even immortals were afraid of was still unable to harm Chai Xin in the slightest.
Thousands of divine lights were quickly absorbed by the Divine Jade of Creation, and the world became clear again.
Afterwards, infinite fire, infinite wood, infinite water, infinite earth, infinite gold... all kinds of disasters came to attack Chai Xin according to the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements.
However, under the power of the Divine Jade of Creation, these world-destroying disasters could not do anything to Chai Xin.
Finally, a god with a body like colored glass and glowing with colorful divine light suddenly appeared in the air.
"boom!"
The moment this deity appeared, he raised his hand and pointed a finger directly at Chai Xin's forehead.
Chai Xin immediately felt something in his heart and understood that this Wuliang God was the last calamity of this heavenly tribulation.
So he had an idea and quickly put away the power of the Creation Jade.
“We can’t let the Wuliang God disappear like this. The purpose of this trip has not yet been achieved…” He flashed and rushed directly towards Taining City!
This sudden scene made everyone in Taining City a little confused. They didn't understand why Chai Xin, who was undergoing a tribulation, would behave like this.
"Not good! This boy wants to lead the heavenly calamity to the city! Please, ancestor, quickly activate the guardian formation!"
"Quick, everyone return to your positions and prepare to jointly control the Dharma Protector Formation!"
But soon, some people reacted, with unconcealable panic and anxiety on their faces.
There was no need for them to remind him. The immortal ancestor in the Temple of Eternal Life set up the protective formation without hesitation almost the moment Chai Xin rushed towards Taining City.
"Buzz!"
Following a powerful spatial fluctuation, a huge Yin-Yang Bagua diagram immediately appeared above the entire Taining City.
The vast golden divine light instantly enveloped the entire city, as if a sun was rising in the city.
The Immortal Ancestor held a whisk in his hand and slowly rose up from the temple. Between his hands, dense golden runes kept flashing.
"Your Excellency's act of annihilation, are you really going to fight to the death with my Taiyi Sect?"
The old Taoist has snow-white hair and a somewhat aged face, but his aura is like that of a dragon. Entangled by the power of faith, he displays all the domineering power of an immortal.
His eyes were fixed on Chai Xin who was approaching, and Wuliangshen who was chasing after him, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Before this, he had never thought that the other party would take such an extreme action.
It’s not that he thinks the other party doesn’t have the courage to fight to the death with Taiyi Sect, but he is well aware of the difficulties of overcoming the tribulation.
Unless one is aware of the inevitable death, no one would bring their own heavenly tribulation into a capital city with dozens of holy immortals, thousands of Yuan immortals, and a supreme immortal!
The characteristic of the heavenly tribulation is that it will be immeasurably strengthened depending on the number and strength of the people involved.
For most cultivators, overcoming the tribulation itself is something that is difficult to "grasp".
If the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation is further increased, the possibility of surviving it will be even slimmer.
Therefore, any cultivator with a clear mind would not do what Chai Xin did at this moment.
"Is this kid just conceited and thinks that overcoming the tribulation is no problem at all, or is he completely crazy?"
"With our combined strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop that Infinite God... After all, the intensity of the heavenly tribulation will increase with the number and quality of participants..."
"It's over. How could I encounter such an unexpected disaster!"
After the extreme shock, everyone in the city felt their whole bodies numb and an intense fear swept through them.
Any cultivator knows the horror of heavenly tribulation.
What's more, Chai Xin's great calamity this time was so powerful that it was almost despairing.
If it is further "amplified" by hundreds of millions of monks in the city, how powerful will this catastrophe be?
"Fight to the death? When you sent people to shout at the gate of Shenzhou, did you ever think that it would be a fight to the death?"
Chai Xin's voice was cold, and he looked like a golden-winged roc, instantly flying over tens of thousands of miles and arriving outside Taining City.
"Today I will tell you that anyone who dares to offend our Shenzhou Gate will be killed no matter how strong he is!"
Before he finished his words, he had already passed the remaining distance and crashed into the surface of Taining City's protective formation without any avoidance.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram above Taining City suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, and the entire city shook.
Many cultivators below the Yuanxian level even felt their blood boiling uncontrollably after this collision, with a faint crimson color at the corners of their mouths.
“Evil creature, if you really break through this city, the masters of our sect will kill you without a burial place! And the Yongning City behind you will also pay an extremely painful price!”
The white-haired old Taoist groaned and felt his whole body full of magical power surging. Even he felt some pressure from the collision just now.
However, this is not the end. Chai Xin’s collision is just an appetizer, and the real highlight is yet to come.
The infinite god that seemed to be made of colorful glass followed Chai Xin closely. The finger he pointed out crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, penetrated the endless space, and landed on Chai Xin's descendant.
"puff!"
A palm-sized blood hole was immediately blown into Chai Xin's body, and one could even see his heart beating inside, emitting a crystal-clear light.
The finger force passed through his body and finally landed on the protective formation of Taining City.
"when!"
With a loud sound like the vibration of a golden bell, the entire formation quickly dimmed after bursting out with brilliant golden light.
This impact was more than ten times more powerful than the one Chai Xin had just used.
"cough!"
The white-haired Taoist priest staggered and almost fell from mid-air. Eye-catching blood splattered from his mouth onto his gray Taoist robe.
"No, if we let that guy rush into the city, the consequences will be disastrous! We can't deal with him in the city... Well, at worst, I'll just have to put an old man to death!"
Thinking of this, the old Taoist knew that he had no way to retreat, so he gritted his teeth and waved the whisk in his hand.
"Crash..."
The vast power of faith surged out from the temple below, gathered on his floating dust, and flashed with holy light.
"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
With a vicissitudes and resolute roar, the old Taoist soared into the sky, gave up control of the formation, and rushed straight to Chai Xin who was above the city.
Chai Xin only felt a river of white light rushing towards him from below. Although the killing power was not too strong, it directly rushed him back thousands of miles!
"The Supreme Immortal? As expected of the Supreme Immortal, he is experienced and decisive in his actions!"
Chai Xin immediately understood the other party's intention.
The old Taoist was obviously aware that if he was allowed to rush into the city, the increase in the power of the heavenly tribulation would become an irresistible destructive factor.
By then, not only him, but the entire Taining City would be doomed.
Therefore, at the critical moment, he made a quick decision - abandon the protective formation, directly infuse himself with the power of faith, and take Chai Xin to a place far away from the city!
In this way, even if he was eventually dragged into the heavenly calamity and died, he could avoid immeasurable damage.
"Ancestor, this is..."
"He would rather sacrifice himself for the sake of the overall situation!"
"That damned little bastard actually forced me to resort to such a desperate measure. I must kill him!"
