Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 952: Chapter 951 [Divine Gold Vajra Formation]

Exterminating the Five Poison Sect, Ye Tianchen indeed showcased his heaven-defying potential. This was an annihilation action that required immense courage and profound wisdom, and Ye Tianchen accomplished it. Not only did he have the courage to go alone and exterminate the Five Poison Sect, but he also possessed the strategic and meticulous wisdom, making everyone sit up and take notice!

In terms of courage, Ye Tianchen has always had his own principles in doing things, only recognizing reason, not people, fearless of heaven and earth. He would never bow to forces that humiliate him, nor would he spare enemies who threaten his family and friends. Many believed Ye Tianchen was courting death during the operation against the Five Poison Sect. Even with some cultivation and battle prowess, some claimed anomalies might just be a brute, courageous but not wise. However, now it seems, Ye Tianchen is both courageous and wise. He had long planned to use his Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation to destroy the Five Poison Sect. He had already succeeded in shock-killing Du Tianqi and now only faced the final battle with the old Demon Du Mie. Two-thirds of the Five Poison Sect has been destroyed, leaving only a remaining few, protected by Du Mie, reluctant to let their foundation be severed.

A heaven-defying prodigy, shaking the ancient, Du Mie, the old demon, witnessed Ye Tianchen crossing two tribulations consecutively. Having just passed the Late Martial Venerate Realm catastrophe, he still aimed to cross another tribulation, seizing the opportunity to reach the Martial Saint Realm. How did he achieve this? Had he been suppressing his cultivation all along? Until now, releasing it all and angering the heavens, triggering the Martial Saint Realm catastrophe, vowing to strike him down.

To consecutively cross two tribulations in one breath, aiming to reach the Martial Saint Realm, for someone as cautious as Ye Tianchen, he wouldn’t typically act recklessly. This action for him was a significant risk, nearly a death sentence. The previous Late Martial Venerate Thunder Tribulation was already earth-shattering, and he barely crossed that calamity, only to almost reach the peak of the Late Martial Venerate Realm, yet without stabilizing cultivation or martial arts true power, he was already crossing another tribulation. Rarely recorded among martial artists, such an audacious act throughout history might only find Ye Tianchen daring to do so.

It can be imagined that originally, such Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation was a punishment descended from above, sensing a martial artist’s defiance, to obstruct their cultivation path, preventing breakthrough then. Yet, the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation descending upon Ye Tianchen was purple, symbolizing special intolerance from the heavens toward martial artists. It was not impeding development but intent on destruction. Ye Tianchen narrowly survived the Late Martial Venerate Realm Thunder Tribulation’s descent but then had the boldness and determination to trigger another Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, attempting the Martial Saint Realm Thunder Punishment in one go was truly astounding, a shocking demonstration of a heaven-defying prodigy. What is this if not the attitude of a phenomenon?

Ye Tianchen triggered all the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulations, concentrating them into one point that descended, only a finger-thick bolt of lightning yet world-ending. The old demon, Du Mie, watching the lightning from above, abandoned resistance. Instead of killing Ye Tianchen, he wanted to drag him into death even if it meant his own demise, which would be enough, showing how much Ye Tianchen’s presence shook him.

Abandoning resistance entirely, Du Mie knew he couldn’t withstand such Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation. Ye Tianchen gathered all his treasures, achieving peak battle state, sitting cross-legged mid-air, hands clasped together, using all his might to resist. Despite the bleak hope of survival, in Ye Tianchen’s dictionary, there was no word for surrender. Resolute in death, he utterly refused to sit and wait for doom, which is Ye Tianchen’s style.

The tiny purple thunder punishment descended, lacking the imagined overwhelming power, without the wildly explosive force to destroy the entire Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and trigger an Earth-wide shock, but instead, a lightning web enveloped the entire Five Poison Sect. Ye Tianchen was at the epicenter of this lightning web, and starting from him, a white light flashed, with the entire Five Poison Sect vanishing. An area of a hundred miles became a desert, not merely destroyed but the terrain and topography utterly transformed, a display of astonishing power.

Often, it is not only the earth-shattering explosion that constitutes the strongest force; the mightiest, most violent force may only gently point a finger, sufficient to destroy an entire planet, a feat achievable only by an individual in the Emperor Realm.

A wasteland remained, without a sky full of dust, only drifting sands. The Five Poison Sect was destroyed, whether it was by Ye Tianchen or not, was indeed related to him. Within a hundred-mile radius, centered on the Five Poison Sect, everything turned into a desert. Changes happened in the blink of an eye, mountains and rivers altered their appearance. Such overwhelming power and unbelievable force is not the result of unrestrained bombardment; it is a method akin to great divine power, with the heavens using such means to exterminate Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen challenged the heavens, disrespectful to both heaven and earth, vastly powerful. Such an attitude is not something shared by many, not even dared by few, causing the heavens’ anger, descending unusual Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, intending to kill Ye Tianchen stubbornly. But Ye Tianchen did not submit, did not show weakness, nor retreat, striving with all his might to resist. He did not overthink life and death, only steadfast in his invincible heart. The path of martial arts is brutal and bloody. Overthinking means one cannot move forward.

However, this time, it seems Ye Tianchen truly faced a nearly dead-end scenario, within a hundred-mile radius lies a wasteland, full of flying dust, with no sign of any life. Nothing, not even a bird could be seen; everything was utterly eradicated, all turned into ashes, with not a trace of ruins left behind. Such a method and power is truly staggering, provoking a tremor of the soul.

Is Ye Tianchen dead? It seems like it. Within a hundred-mile radius, nothing could be seen; unlike before, where only his body shattered, he could still use ”Undying Golden Body Skill” to reassemble himself, defiantly resurrecting. Yet this time, not to mention shattered limbs, even his head was gone, seemingly struck into ashes like everything else within the hundred-mile range by the purple thunder punishment?

A thought, a divine remembrance, floated in space, pain, Ye Tianchen felt a soul-piercing pain. He didn’t know where he was, what had happened; he only remembered the purple thunder punishment striking down. Holy Heaven Prison, Taie Sword, couldn’t withstand the purple thunder punishment. Perhaps it was due to his improper use of these treasures, unable to unleash their power, resulting in his comprehensive defeat, leaving no room for counterbalance, leading to being struck down completely, soul and body shattered in death.

”Am I dead? Where is this place?”

Ye Tianchen asked himself, feeling a sharp pain, opening his eyes. When he opened them, he found himself in an unknown place. Looking around, when Ye Tianchen looked up, he was stupefied, seeing four enormous Golden Buddha Statues standing before him, each sitting cross-legged on the ground, approximately three to four zhang in height. These Golden Buddha Statues were not alive, but rather like sculptures.

”Where is this...” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of place was this? Why hadn’t he truly perished and came to such a strange place.

Buzz!

Just when Ye Tianchen did not know his location, he suddenly felt a massive pain in his head, and the Yijin Jing emerged. Without knowing where it opened, the Yijin Jing revealed itself, showing something he hadn’t noticed, for the sutra is profoundly extensive and complex. Even with all his talent and understanding, he only scratched its surface, barely grasping any spells, realizing the Yijin Jing is so profound that it might take a lifetime to entirely comprehend it.

Ye Tianchen rarely saw such a powerful hidden divine art within the Yijin Jing as the Guardian Vajra Formation. His heart was amazed at the vastness and depth of the Yijin Jing, truly formidable. The Guardian Vajra Formation, hidden within the Yijin Jing, was a powerful protective array that could save a cultivator, should their body be shattered during a battle, enduring an annihilative attack. In an instant, this formation would activate, preserving a wisp of their divine thought from being destroyed.

”I didn’t expect such a powerful hidden divine skill in the Yijin Jing. What kind of being was the Buddhist Emperor who created this scripture? It’s unimaginable. To gain the Yijin Jing inheritance is my blessing, an advantage I must fully utilize. Now, with only a wisp of my divine thought remaining, I’m too weak. I’d best stay, unseen and untouchable, inside this Guardian Vajra Formation to cultivate well.” (Unknown words omitted for recommendation)
