Chapter 239 The Heaven-Shattering Sword and the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations

The other side of the sword body bore similar ancient markings, but this time resembling a black phoenix, poised to spread its wings and take flight.

One side a black dragon, the other a black phoenix; dragon and phoenix united, the heavens could be shattered!

Heaven-Shattering Sword!

That's right!

In Ye Lingyuan's hand was the divine artifact, the Heaven-Shattering Sword!

He looked coldly at the swirling vortex in the sky and roared, "Since you refuse to yield, then I shall shatter the heavens!"

"Ye Lingyuan!"

Just as Ye Lingyuan was about to ascend, he heard a familiar voice.

This voice haunted his dreams; though they had been apart for only an hour, it felt like a year.

"Lin'er!"

Ye Lingyuan looked at the person rushing towards him, still slightly out of breath, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

He didn't want her to worry, but in the end, she still did.

"Ye Lingyuan, you are forbidden to get hurt!"

Zi Lingling's lips moved several times before finally uttering seven words.

As she spoke these seven words, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.

"Mmm!"

Ye Lingyuan nodded, his heart filled with strength. "It cannot harm this King!"

He gestured towards the thunderclouds in the sky as he spoke.

The smile on Zi Lingling's face vanished. "If you dare to get hurt, you'll never marry me!"

Ye Lingyuan was stunned, then overjoyed.

Zi Lingling's words were very clear: if Ye Lingyuan didn't get hurt, she would agree to marry him.

A smile curved Ye Lingyuan's lips. "Alright!"

Zi Lingling ignored him and turned her gaze to the tribulation clouds in the sky, her voice stern, "He is mine, and whoever hurts him, I will destroy! If you dare to harm him even a little, I will certainly not let you go!"

The tribulation clouds felt wronged!

He was undergoing a tribulation, a heavenly punishment!

If he was forbidden to get hurt, what was the point of undergoing the tribulation?

At the same time, the tribulation clouds were also enraged!

One after another, they wanted to provoke me, did they really think I was made of paper?

However, why did it feel a sense of fear when it saw this woman?

Never mind!

The thunderclouds grew larger, and the tribulation clouds churned furiously.

Six bolts of tribulation lightning descended!

Ye Lingyuan sneered and slashed out with his sword, severing the tribulation lightning at its waist.

The Heaven-Shattering Sword was incredibly excited, flying into the sky and weaving through the tribulation lightning.

Soon, the tribulation lightning was cut into pieces the length of a finger joint and gradually dissipated.

The tribulation clouds became even more enraged.

A person provoked it, and even a sword dared to provoke it!

It was unbearable.

Six more vortexes formed.

The Heaven-Shattering Sword let out a cry and shot straight into the clouds, piercing the tribulation clouds.

Then, with a flurry of activity, the six vortexes were instantly torn apart.

Of course, this was the result of Ye Lingyuan's mental control.

The tribulation clouds roared, churning even more violently.

But before they could even form vortexes, the Heaven-Shattering Sword had already cut them into nine pieces.

The tribulation clouds roared in unwilling fury, quickly piecing themselves back together.

Thirty-six vortexes instantly formed.

The entire Misty Forest became incredibly oppressive, and the beast race wished they could bury their bodies deep underground.

The onlookers retreated another thousand feet, yet their hearts still pounded with trepidation.

The simultaneous appearance of thirty-six bolts of the Sixty-Nine Tribulation Lightning was likely a rare occurrence even in ancient records.

Zi Lingling's expression turned cold, and she thought to herself, "Damn tribulation lightning! You dare to harm my man, I will settle the score sooner or later!"

A trace of anger flashed in Ye Lingyuan's eyes.

He let out a loud roar, "Shatter the heavens!"

The Heaven-Shattering Sword glowed brightly and traversed through the tribulation clouds.

The thirty-six unformed vortexes instantly vanished without a trace.

The tribulation clouds churned again, extending for a radius of five hundred meters like a dark canopy.

Nine vortexes slowly appeared.

Heavens!

The Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning!

It was the legendary Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning!

The surrounding onlookers were utterly shocked.

"Can the Underworld King withstand it?"

"This is too terrifying! No one has undergone tribulation for a thousand years, and the first person to do so has brought down the Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning, what is going on?"

"I believe he can! Because he is the Underworld King! The God of War of Tianqi!"

...

Of course, there were also some with ill intentions. These individuals were none other than Ye Lingyuan's enemies.

They had already communicated through telepathy: it would be best if Ye Lingyuan could not overcome the Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning. If he did, then it would be their turn to act.

Because, in their opinion, even if Ye Lingyuan survived the tribulation of destruction, he would be severely injured, and that would be their opportune moment to snatch victory.

Zi Lingling looked at Ye Lingyuan beneath the tribulation clouds, her face filled with worry.

This was because Elder Du was currently explaining the knowledge of tribulation lightning to her, and she now understood just how terrifying the Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning was.

Meanwhile, within her spiritual sea, Feng Lixia looked at the nine vortexes forming in the sky with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

A hint of solemnity finally appeared on Ye Lingyuan's face. The suffocating pressure made him have to take it seriously.

The Heaven-Shattering Sword continuously pulsed with light, the entire sword filled with excitement. It seemed eager to compete with the most formidable heavenly tribulation.

Just as most people were holding their breath for Ye Lingyuan, nine bolts of tribulation lightning, as thick as a baby's arm, roared down towards Ye Lingyuan.

The power of the Law of Light within Ye Lingyuan instantly surged into the Heaven-Shattering Sword. The sword shot towards the sky like the sun, piercing into the tribulation clouds.

Ye Lingyuan was not idle either. The Laws of Slaughter, Reincarnation, Death, and Darkness surged forth, rapidly weakening the tribulation lightning descending from the sky.

After being weakened by the four great laws, the tribulation lightning was easily caught by Ye Lingyuan in his palm and flowed into his body.

The tribulation of destruction tempered his body!

It had to be said, Ye Lingyuan was incredibly bold.

The tribulation of destruction, even after being weakened, was not comparable to the One-Nine Tribulation Lightning.

But perhaps "boldness comes with skill," and that described Ye Lingyuan.

As Ye Lingyuan absorbed the tribulation lightning, he slowly closed his eyes.

Soon, two more law halos appeared outside his body – a golden halo and an ink-black halo.

The golden color represented the Law of Metal, and the ink-black color represented the Law of Thunder.

This meant that through the tribulation of thunder, Ye Lingyuan had comprehended two more powers of law.

Ye Lingyuan opened his eyes, recalled the Heaven-Shattering Sword, pointed his sword at the sky, and declared, "Nothing more than this!"

The tribulation clouds became enraged again. The Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning, which should have been divided into eight more drops, now unleashed seventy-two bolts at once.

The area within a five-hundred-meter radius became a sea of lightning.

Ye Lingyuan strolled casually through the sea of lightning, but the tribulation lightning could no longer harm him in the slightest.

On the contrary, with every step he took, a bolt of tribulation lightning disappeared.

As for where this tribulation lightning went, it was naturally collected within him.

However, due to the short time, he had no opportunity to refine it.

By the time Ye Lingyuan had taken seventy-two steps, the vast sea of lightning had vanished without a trace.

The tribulation clouds in the sky rumbled unwillingly, but they were helpless.

After all, even the Nine-Nine Tribulation of Destruction could not do anything to Ye Lingyuan, so what else could they do?

Soon, the tribulation clouds retreated, and a seven-colored auspicious cloud appeared, enveloping Ye Lingyuan.

This auspicious cloud quickly permeated Ye Lingyuan's body and disappeared without a trace.
