124: Chapter 123 Successful Tribulation”Let him go.”

Gu You let out an angry roar and charged at the Queen Mother of the West once more. Pitch-black mist spread from his body, transforming into countless black chains that thrust toward the Queen Mother of the West.

However, as expected, such attacks were completely unable to break through the protective barrier of the xihuang pagoda.

There was not a shred of emotion on the Queen Mother of the West’s face; she seemed like a heartless killing machine. Regarding Gu You’s desperate assault, she did not even move, yet all the attacks were blocked.

”This is impossible!”

”Even if you were a true Dou Saint, you couldn’t block my attacks so easily!”

Gu You roared at the Queen Mother of the West with a ferocious expression. Facing such an opponent, his heart turned to ash; he could not even get close, so how could he defeat this figure formed from the lightning tribulation?

”Grand Heavenly Lord, I have failed your expectations.”

Gu You apologized to the Grand Heavenly Lord in his heart. Now, he could see death beckoning to him. Facing such a powerhouse, he could not think of any other way to fight back.

However, the Queen Mother of the West would not wait for Gu You to attack. She changed her hand seals, and the xihuang pagoda drifted out once more to cover Gu You.

”You want to kill me? Fat chance!”

”Blood Soul Great Art!”

The Blood Soul Great Art was a high-tier Earth-grade secret technique that could instantly convert all the blood energy within one’s body into endless Fighting Qi, boosting one’s strength.

Once this move was used, regardless of the battle situation, this body would be completely ruined. The blood energy would be drained instantly and could never be replenished. It would be like a corpse, never to recover its youth.

Black-red flames ignited on Gu You’s body; this was his life force burning. When the flames vanished, it would mean his blood energy was completely exhausted.

”Bang!”

Under the augmentation of the Blood Soul Great Art, Gu You threw a punch and knocked the xihuang pagoda flying.

”Black Soul Hand Seal!”

Endless black mist that obscured the sky transformed into a giant palm print, slamming toward the Queen Mother of the West.

”Hah!”

Gu You had used all his Fighting Qi for this move; whether he could defeat the Queen Mother of the West depended on this. Facing such an attack, the Queen Mother of the West changed her hand seals, and a small seal was thrown out accordingly.

”Boom!”

The giant black palm print broke upon a single strike. It couldn’t even last long in the Queen Mother of the West’s hands before being shattered, turning into black mist and dissipating in the sky.

However, the immense shockwave generated by such a powerful collision instantly destroyed countless mountains below.

The once lush mountain range turned into a barren wasteland.

”Pfft...”

Just as Gu You was preparing to dodge the Queen Mother of the West’s attack, a golden hand pierced through his chest.

”Gu You, lend me your power.”

Chen Yang’s incomparably cold voice rang in Gu You’s ear. Chen Yang circulated the Undying Heavenly Art, and an infinite devouring force immediately began to whale-swallow the Fighting Qi and blood energy within Gu You’s body.

Now, all of this would become Chen Yang’s reserve power.

”Heh heh... cough cough, I never thought that I, Gu You, with my lifelong reputation, would actually be defeated at your hands. You are truly worthy of being someone from outside the Fighting Qi Continent.”

”Old man... I...”

Gu You’s eyes gradually dimmed, and his flame of life extinguished completely at this moment. All the energy within his body, including his soul, was completely devoured by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang casually withdrew his hand and discarded Gu You’s withered body into the mountain range like trash.

Chen Yang gazed at the Queen Mother of the West before him with burning eyes; he also wanted to see just how big the gap was between him and a true Great Emperor.

”Secret of All!”

”Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!”

”Eight Forbidden!”

Chen Yang’s battle intent burned high.

”Come and fight!”

Chen Yang charged toward the Queen Mother of the West, raising his hand to combine four seals into one. The small seal in Chen Yang’s palm exuded boundless, powerful energy, but the Queen Mother of the West did not choose to dodge; instead, she raised her transparent palm to meet Chen Yang’s strike.

At this moment, it seemed as if nothing had been transmitted, yet it also seemed as if something had happened; everything was calm.

”Boom!”

The extremely compressed explosion erupted all at once at this moment, and both the Queen Mother of the West and Chen Yang were blown away by the shockwave.

The Queen Mother of the West seemed to have gained emotions, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile, as if affirming Chen Yang’s combat strength.

Burning battle intent shot from Chen Yang’s eyes as he raised his hand to release a low-tier Heaven-grade Dou Technique once more.

”Great Annihilation Finger!”

A giant, illusory finger crushed toward the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West opened her hands and pushed forward; the xihuang pagoda immediately struck out, using its spire to brace against Chen Yang’s low-tier Heaven-grade Dou Technique.

Facing this stalemate, Chen Yang naturally would not let the opportunity pass. He immediately summoned his weapon, the heaven burying coffin, and rammed it toward the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West raised her hand and knocked the heaven burying coffin away, but Chen Yang landed a punch on the Queen Mother of the West’s abdomen, utilizing the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body with ten times the combat power.

With a single punch, he sent the Queen Mother of the West flying. The Queen Mother of the West’s entire body, formed from the lightning tribulation, began to become illusory.

The Queen Mother of the West had used her body to take the punch head-on, so the energy within her naturally decreased, and in effect, her strength directly dropped.

The Queen Mother of the West changed her hand seals again, and the xihuang pagoda abandoned the Great Annihilation Finger to attack Chen Yang.

Chen Yang stood up and leaped backward to dodge the xihuang pagoda’s attack, but Chen Yang would not let the Queen Mother of the West off. He directly controlled the heaven burying coffin and trapped the xihuang pagoda inside it.

Fortunately, this was only a condensed manifestation. If it were a true Extreme Emperor Weapon, Chen Yang would not dare to do this, as an Extreme Emperor Weapon is the weapon used by a Great Emperor to attain the Dao.

It is not something that his coffin, which doesn’t even have any Divine Metal, could block.

Without the xihuang pagoda, Chen Yang decisively surged forward, suppressing the Queen Mother of the West, but is a Great Emperor really that easy to fight?

The Queen Mother of the West changed her move to dodge Chen Yang’s attack and struck Chen Yang’s back with a palm, leaving a bright red palm print.

”Pfft...”

Chen Yang flew backward and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. This was a true powerhouse of the Shrouding the Heavens world; presumably, those ancient freaks should be about the same.

The combat strength of Great Emperor descendants like the Golden Heavenly Maiden, Dragon Maiden, and Qilin Maiden must be even more terrifying. Currently, Chen Yang might not be their match in a battle at the same realm.

”Let me properly hone my combat skills!”

Since Chen Yang began cultivating the Shrouding the Heavens Method, he had never fought such a battle; usually, he would kill enemies across realms, but now, facing the Queen Mother of the West at the Four Extremes realm manifested by the lightning tribulation, he was fighting so arduously.

He couldn’t even gain the slightest advantage.

Now, to completely defeat the Queen Mother of the West, Chen Yang still had to undergo a bitter battle.

The Queen Mother of the West seemed to want to see Chen Yang’s limits as well, so she stopped using the xihuang pagoda and instead engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Chen Yang, punch for punch, kick for kick—a battle that was extremely simple yet reached the peak.

However, Chen Yang fought more bravely the longer he fought. The blood energy within his body was stimulated more and more comprehensively, his strength increased, and his attack power naturally improved.

Under Chen Yang’s attacks, the Queen Mother of the West was suppressed.

”Hah!”

Chen Yang punched directly through the Queen Mother of the West’s chest, while the Queen Mother of the West’s palm stopped in front of Chen Yang’s head, just a hair’s breadth away.
