Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Thunder Law
"Buzz!"
However, unexpectedly, from the Ming Emperor’s body, the dissipating purple lightning began to converge. In just a little over ten breaths, his body returned to its previous state, standing in mid-air, like an invincible god, immortal and undying!
"Kill!"
This scene seemed to be within Ji Chen’s expectations.
He was not overly surprised, but after a light exhale, he once again gripped the Emperor’s Coffin and smashed it out with force.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The loud noises reverberated between heaven and earth, deafeningly loud.
Each collision was as if heaven and earth were making contact.
The terrifying residual energy unleashed in the battle seemed capable of obliterating all living beings in this world into dust.
The battle zone roiled with momentum, the endless Thunder Law mingled into the air, even the elderly Saints in the Divine City couldn’t help but feel a tingling on their scalps when sensing the terror of that Law.
They had no doubt that if they were caught within, they would likely be injured.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Ji Chen wielded the Emperor’s Coffin as a weapon, launching a fierce attack, smashing towards the youthful Ming Emperor.
The young Ming Emperor’s black clothes fluttered with the wind, like a king from the eternal night.
Facing Ji Chen’s attack, he didn’t retreat an inch, confronting it with his physical body; his presence was as otherworldly and unparalleled as in years past.
Their skirmish was extremely intense, shaking the entire sky and earth, as cracks appeared in the void, unleashing a massive force of space that threatened to engulf the world.
With the Emperor’s Coffin in hand, Ji Chen seemed to have completely taken the initiative.
At this moment, the Thunder Law almost had no major impact on him, and Ji Chen, seizing the victory, relentlessly attacked, forcing the young Ming Emperor to keep retreating.
His body collapsed time and again, distorted beyond recognition, but was continually repaired by the Celestial Tribulation, making him indestructible, impossible to truly annihilate.
Yet, even so, Ji Chen showed no intention of stopping.
"Boom!"
Finally, after countless attacks, someone noticed that the young Ming Emperor’s body was repairing itself much more slowly.
There were two reasons for this.
After innumerable attacks, the strength the Celestial Tribulation could provide to the young Ming Emperor had already become considerably weaker.
Moreover, there was the reason of the Emperor’s Coffin.
This was the supreme and invincible Magical Treasure among all things. In ancient times, whoever was injured by such a weapon hardly ever recovered.
Were it not for the fact that the Ming Emperor before them was a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao Will, his shattered body from the first time he was struck by the Emperor’s Coffin would’ve been impossible to recover.
Only the Heavenly Dao Will can reverse such injuries.
"Kill!"
Ji Chen clearly noticed the anomaly in the young Ming Emperor, aware that the power the Celestial Tribulation could provide was running low.
Seizing the victory, he continued to smash with the Emperor’s Coffin, each attack stronger than the last, leaving the young Ming Emperor helpless to counter.
In the end, just as his shattered body hadn’t yet had time to recover, he was struck again by Ji Chen’s Emperor’s Coffin.
Thus, repeatedly, after hundreds of consecutive attacks, finally, the young Ming Emperor was turned into a mass of purple lightning, his body completely destroyed.
The purple lightning trembled, as if trying to restore him, but the remaining power of the tribulation in heaven and earth had weakened to the extreme, seemingly unable to support his recovery.
"Boom!"
Ultimately, a single explosion shook heaven and earth, with the purple light spreading across the void, pushing back the endless sea of lightning above the void.
In the distance, a ray of sunlight shone forth, returning the land to its former brightness.
Ji Chen stood in mid-air, his white clothes peerless, under the sunlight appearing especially transcendent.
His breathing gradually calmed, and a strong aura emanated from him, having officially reached the First Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm!
The thunderclouds were completely destroyed, dissipating into the void.
In the Divine City, everyone silently stood in place, speechless.
Or rather, they were too stunned to speak.
The appearance of the young Ming Emperor, representing the will of the Heavenly Dao, came to hinder Ji Chen’s breakthrough.
It was thought that in the face of such an existence, Ji Chen would inevitably meet with failure today.
But who could have imagined, he ultimately broke the shackles of the Heavenly Dao’s order, breaking through the clouds to see the blue sky.
Even the Ancient Emperor as strong as a youth was eventually repelled by him.
An invincible, unbeaten record was proclaimed to end at this moment.
"This child... what a terrifying talent!"
On a distant mountain top from the Divine City, many Outer Realm cultivators had gathered here, their faces filled with extreme astonishment, their gazes focused on Ji Chen.
When the Celestial Tribulation descended, they dared not continue Controlling the Sky, afraid of being caught in the calamity.
Now here, they witnessed the entire process of Ji Chen overcoming the tribulation.
No one could abstain from amazement.
Whether it was the Stellar Law Phenomenon of the Hongmeng Body, the Nine Spirit Veins, or his repelling of the Ancient Emperor youth, and advancing into the Celestial Essence Realm.
Any of these events was enough to shock the world.
Even in the Outer World, hardly anyone could possess such feats or achieve them.
But today, Ji Chen defied their understanding.
Having accomplished this, in the not-so-distant future, Ji Chen’s name will surely resonate across the Outer World starry sky.
"Is he called Ji Chen... To think that in the current environment of the Celestial Martial, such a monstrous talent could still emerge..."
"This indicates that this world is indeed as legendary as they say, with incomparable riches buried in those perilous ancient forbidden zones!"
The Outer Realm cultivators were all astonished; it was their first time understanding Ji Chen, realizing that such a young king existed within this realm.
Although located at the extreme northern end of the starry sky, very remote, through the ages, this land has also birthed countless strong beings, the emperors of the Ancient Race, the Great Emperors of the Human Race, any one of whom, within the starry sky, could be called invincible.
It was thought that in this era of diminished magical influence, it was impossible for another such figure to appear in Celestial Martial.
But now, on Ji Chen, these Outer Realm cultivators couldn’t help but feel their hearts shaken.
They all clearly knew, barring any accidents, in the future someday, this young man named Ji Chen would surely become an Overlord Level presence in this starry sky!
"Buzz..."
And just as they were thinking this, above the Divine City, Ji Chen stood in mid-air.
With a slight movement of his fingers, flickers of purple lightning could be seen dancing at his fingertips.
"This is..."
Ji Chen muttered to himself, gazing intently at the purple lightning dancing on his fingertips. By coincidence, after breaking through to the Celestial Essence Realm, he had mastered a second Law, the Thunder Law!
