The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3198 - 3193: The Tribulation Begins_1

"Hahaha, it seems the heavens truly favor the persistent! I was certain Yang Chen couldn't have fled far; he had to be hiding on Law God Star. Regardless of his exact location, let us move out immediately and eliminate him." Several Heavenly Boundary experts were already brimming with anticipation, ready to strike.

The rewards for slaying Yang Chen would be immense, and every one of them was eager to claim the glory.

"Do not be reckless. We launched a joint assault last time and he still managed to slip through our fingers. We cannot permit a repeat of that failure. If we miss this chance, we won't get another once the Heaven-appointed Realm masters arrive. Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye has signaled that Yang Chen is currently deep in cultivation. There is no need for haste; let us first mobilize all available forces from the other planes and weave a Sky-Roaming Net to ensure his death."

...

In an instant, a multitude of Heavenly Boundary masters mobilized, taking up their positions. Before long, another ten days had vanished.

Ten days later, Yang Chen vaguely perceived that he was surrounded by a swarm of Heavenly Boundary cultivators. Despite this, he showed no signs of agitation, remaining perfectly still with his eyes tightly shut.

By now, the essence of the Liuli Mine before him had been entirely drained, and the physical form of Xuan Jie had dissipated into nothingness.

His Qi fluctuated wildly, surging one moment and waning the next, indicating he was at the most precarious stage of a realm breakthrough.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Boundary experts from the Grand Abyss Palace were creeping toward him in total silence.

"Dark Night King, you are leading this operation. When do we strike?" the other Heavenly Boundary masters asked, looking toward a figure clad in black nearby.

The man in black, known as the Dark Night King, replied as he moved through the ranks, "We have twenty-three Heavenly Boundary experts at our disposal. Four will seal the exits, while three maintain the formation. The rest will follow me to suppress Yang Chen directly. Last time, we only failed because the Calamity King was intimidated by you, but such a blunder will not happen again."

Just as the Dark Night King finished speaking, his gaze locked onto the distance. "What is happening with Yang Chen? Why is his aura surging so violently?"

"That fluctuation... could he be breaking through to the Heavenly Boundary Realm?"

"Judging by the intensity, he seems to be on the very threshold of the Heavenly Boundary Realm. Is he actually about to succeed?"

The group was stunned. The Dark Night King roared, "Attack now! Kill him immediately!"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, he wanted to strike before the process completed.

However, at that exact moment, a thunderclap exploded across the clear sky, followed by the roar of the Thunder Pool and churning clouds. In an instant, the atmosphere transformed completely.

"Darn it, the Heaven’s Tribulation has arrived!" The Dark Night King and his fellow Heavenly Boundary cultivators recoiled in haste, their expressions filled with alarm.

They knew they were too late. Once the Heavenly Tribulation began, interfering became nearly impossible.

The Dark Night King ground his teeth in frustration, but he was powerless to intervene.

Though they could communicate with the Heavenly Dao, they lacked the power to alter it. The birth of a Heavenly Dao was an absolute event, representing the fundamental laws of the Universe Starry Sky.

Only those who had attained the Heavenly Extreme Realm could potentially rewrite the Heavenly Dao; even those in the Heaven-appointed Realm lacked such authority.

Even for a Heavenly Extreme Realm expert, attempting to modify the laws would invite a terrifying Thunder Tribulation of unprecedented horror.

Consequently, they could only keep their distance from Yang Chen’s Thunder Tribulation, unable to interfere.

"This Thunder Tribulation comes at the worst possible time, and its intensity is staggering!"

"Normally, a Boundaryless Cultivation expert entering the Heavenly Boundary Realm faces the thirty-nine Thunder Tribulations. Exceptional geniuses might face the forty-nine. Even among the top names on the Great Luo Celestial Stele, the fifty-nine Thunder Tribulations are a rare sight."

"Could the power of his tribulation be this terrifying if it were merely the fifty-nine?"

"Our Grand Abyss Palace had a prodigy ranked fourth on the Daluo Celestial Monument who faced his tribulation 240,000 years ago. It was a fifty-nine Thunder Tribulation, yet even with those celestial changes, it wasn't nearly this powerful..."

The Heavenly Boundary cultivators traded shocked glances.

"Could it be... the Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder?"

The possibility sent shivers through the experts.

A Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder was a nightmare; even cultivators ascending to the Heaven-appointed Realm might not trigger such a high-level event. How monstrous was Yang Chen to summon such a tribulation while only entering the Heavenly Boundary Realm?

Yang Chen finally rose from the ground.

Although he was aware of the ambush surrounding him, he remained unruffled and composed.

As he had predicted, the Heavenly Tribulation was an unstoppable force of nature, and his enemies could do nothing but watch from the sidelines.

Nevertheless, the sheer might of the tribulation was enough to make anyone nervous.

"The Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder!" Yang Chen’s expression turned grim.

It felt as though the heavens were perpetually testing him, with every Thunder Tribulation nearly claiming his life before relenting.

He wasn't sure how powerful the final stages of the Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder would be, but he hoped for a fighting chance.

Glancing around, Yang Chen noted the formations and ambushes set by the Heavenly Boundary experts. It was clear that even if he survived the lightning, he would immediately be met by a coordinated strike from a group of masters—a dire situation indeed.

But for now, he had to clear his mind and focus entirely on the task at hand.

Distraction during a tribulation was a death sentence.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yang Chen gazed up at the swirling black clouds and the crackling lightning above as his aura began to steady.

Finally, the first wave of the Thunder Tribulation descended.

The power of the One-Nine Thunder Tribulation was formidable, yet for Yang Chen at his current level, it was trivial. He annihilated every bolt of the first sequence with ease.

Suddenly, the Two-Nine Thunder Tribulation began!

The intensity of the second sequence was on a completely different level than the first.

However, having already stepped into the Heavenly Boundary Realm, Yang Chen’s strength had surged exponentially.

The Two-Nine Thunder Tribulation was also crushed!

Then came the Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation!

Yang Chen’s swift and decisive handling of the strikes left the Grand Abyss Palace experts watching in stunned silence.

"Yang Chen is far more powerful than he was before—significantly so."

"Entering the Heavenly Boundary Realm naturally brings a massive leap in power. But even so, this is absurd."

"He hasn't even been fully tempered by the lightning yet, meaning his Heavenly Boundary strength isn't at its peak, and yet he's already this capable..."

The observers felt a chill down their spines as they compared themselves to him.

They realized that if they were to face Yang Chen one-on-one right now, the result would be a humiliating defeat with no hope of victory.

"This brat could kill Heavenly Boundary cultivators while he was still in the Boundaryless stage. Now that he has advanced, his power has naturally soared. But do not let fear take hold. We have over twenty experts here; do you truly believe he can flip the heavens and earth?" the Dark Night King said chillingly.

Hearing his words, the others began to calm down. "Indeed. Whether he can even survive this tribulation is uncertain. And even if he does, we have nothing to fear from a man crippled by the strikes of heaven."
