Chapter 161 - 161: Nine Heavenly Tribulations
At the center of the sea of lightning, right now, the power of the lightning had already reached the fifth heavenly tribulation.
Streams of blue lightning poured down from the sky like floodgates opening, extending towards the earth.
Everything within a radius of several hundred miles was annihilated.
The ground cracked open into terrifying chasms and canyons.
The most terrifying thing was that the power of the heavenly tribulation was still rapidly increasing.
In just the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the heavenly tribulation had already reached the sixth level!
Pitch-black clouds faintly leaked a hint of bloodlust.
The appearance of the blood-red lightning confirmed everyone’s guess.
This was really the ninth heavenly tribulation!
The bloody example from 100,000 years ago made everyone realize that the ninth heavenly tribulation was not so easy to overcome.
No matter how monstrous a prodigy was, they still faced the risk of ruin when encountering the ninth heavenly tribulation.
Meanwhile, Su Chen and Marquis Champion were still fighting within the lightning.
Up till now, the two of them did not care about the surrounding lightning.
To them, the heavenly thunder did not seem to be important.
Only killing the other party was the true top priority.
Boom!
The two clashed again.
From earth to heaven, terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations swept out like an ocean.
The dreadful might seemed capable of annihilating all things.
“The Great Dao is boundless, borrowing the laws of heaven and earth!”
Marquis Champion shouted.
As his voice fell, the power of blood and Qi in his body began to burn fiercely.
His combat strength steadily climbed, like a demon god reborn from flames, descending unto the world, seeming to want to destroy all creation.
“Is he finally going to use the killer move?”
Su Chen, who was bathed in the heavenly tribulation, looked at Marquis Champion’s transformation and smiled.
Calm and collected, his hands formed seals, unleashing a domain that spanned hundreds of miles.
Everything within a hundred miles was suppressed.
Infinite Expanding World!
This secret technique that he had obtained from the prince of Dashang was currently displaying its terrifying power.
In this domain, Marquis Champion’s newly elevated strength was completely suppressed.
On the contrary, Su Chen’s combat strength increased by more than three times!
“You…”
Marquis Champion was furious.
He never thought that Su Chen would have such a bizarre secret technique.
The strength that he had improved through the secret technique was suppressed, which was equivalent to wasting his energy.
However, the most important thing was that he did not dare to stop using the secret technique.
If he gave up on using the secret technique, his strength would weaken even more.
At that time, even he could only be suppressed by Su Chen.
“Are you surprised? What’s more surprising is yet to come!”
Su Chen shouted softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his blood and Qi began to erupt and scarlet flames rose from his body.
Terrifying temperatures incinerated the void, reducing the crashing lightning to nothingness.
His blood and Qi seemed to have turned into lava at this moment, submerging all around him.
“This is… Crimson Flame Divine Body?”
Marquis Champion’s pupils constricted, his heart surging with towering waves.
Earlier, when Su Chen did not fall into disadvantage while fighting him amidst the tribulation, he had already vaguely guessed.
Su Chen might also have a special physique!
However, what he did not expect was that Su Chen’s special physique was actually a divine body like his!
“So what if it’s the Crimson Flame Divine Body? Today, 1 will kill you!”
Marquis Champion quickly calmed down.
As his voice fell, he took the initiative to attack.
An enormous mountain was seized from outside the tribulation and smashed straight at Su Chen.
“Humph! Arrogant!”
Su Chen snorted coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched a fist with one hand and heavily hit the mountain that was coming at him.
Boom!
With a single punch, the thousands of meters tall peak was pulverized into dust.
Endless rubble cascaded down.
Smoke and dust soared into the sky, and the entire battlefield was instantly obscured.
Only two figures as swift as dragons could be seen colliding continuously, erupting with dazzling brilliance.
As the two fought, outside the heavenly tribulation, everyone could no longer remain composed.
The phenomenon on Su Chen’s body just now only appeared for an instant.
However, this moment was enough for many people to see the truth.
“Hiss… Crimson Flame Divine Body!”
A veteran Spirit Sea Realm expert with white hair and beard gasped and said seriously.
“I’ve long said that Su Chen must also have some kind of special physique, but I didn’t expect him to actually have a divine body!”
“So it’s the Crimson Flame Divine Body!”
“Crimson Flame Divine Body… It seemed that this kind of physique has not appeared for a long time.”
“Invincible Divine Body versus Crimson Flame Divine Body. The battle between the top prodigies of the two empires has suddenly turned into a battle between two divine bodies. This is going to be interesting!”
“After today’s battle, the defeated side will not only lose personal reputation, but the reputation of his divine body will also suffer a huge blow!”
“I didn’t expect a Crimson Flame Divine Body to actually appear in the Dachu Empire…”
“If Su Chen does not fall in the future, the entire Dachu Empire will benefit greatly!”
Everyone discussed it spiritedly.
Many people couldn’t see the battle amidst the heavenly tribulation.
However, they could see the splendor in the eyes of the experts from the Dachu Empire when they saw Su Chen reveal his Crimson Flame Divine Body.
When they thought of the great reputation that the person with the Crimson Flame Divine Body had left behind, they instantly understood.
If the current Su Chen did not fall in the future, becoming a saint was just the starting point!
He had the Crimson Flame Divine Body and was an existence that was qualified to step into the Great Emperor Realm in the future!
As for the Great Emperor Realm, not just in the entire East Barrens, but the pinnacle of the whole world!
Even those who had the qualifications to become emperors were not ordinary demons that could compare.
At this moment, Su Chen was indeed as brave as a young emperor.
[Demeanor of a great emperor: 998/10,000]
[Demeanor of a great emperor: 999/10,000]
[Demeanor of a great emperor: 1,000/10,000]
[…]
A virtual interface appeared before Su Chen’s eyes.
The characters on it changed rapidly.
However, Su Chen did not have time to pay attention to this. With a thought, he closed the interface.
The Azure Dragon Sword in his hand swept out like a white mountain range.
As the sword fell, the crimson lightning was instantly shattered.
One of the azure dragons seemed to come alive, letting out a deafening dragon’s cry as it pounced at Marquis Champion.
Clang!
Marquis Champion raised his hand to block it.
With just a single collision, the bones of his body cracked and snapped.
The joints of his right fist were dislocated, and a blood-red light appeared on it.
His secret technique was completely countered by Su Chen.
Using it was the same as not using it.
However, Su Chen’s strength had increased by three levels through the Infinite Expanding World!
Don’t look down on just three levels.
This bit of difference instantly widened the disparity between them.
The previously deadlocked battle had now become completely one-sided.
Su Chen had the absolute upper hand.
“Marquis Champion.Js bleeding!”
Someone exclaimed while watching the battle.
From the start of the clash until now, the two had always been deadlocked with neither able to overcome the other, treating the heavenly tribulation as nothing.
But at this moment, Marquis Champion was the first to be injured.
This was equivalent to sending out an ominous signal!
