Chapter 1087: Chapter 1106: Great Saint Body
Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, Heavenly Punishment Halberd, Power of Space-Time, Silent Annihilation Origin, and his cultivation of Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations—all of these factors combined have allowed Ye Xuan to stand at the pinnacle of this realm.
Yet even with all his power, he still cannot withstand the Chaos Nine Kills, and the Undying Heavenly Lord of the past certainly did not surpass him; how did the other party cross the Chaos Nine Kills, and how did they traverse the two great tribulations afterward?
As this question arose, Ye Xuan began to ponder, for as he was crossing his tribulation, he felt he had missed a great opportunity. When connecting to this question, an answer surfaced.
What is crossing a tribulation?
Those who pass live, those who fail die?
As they say, life and death are interdependent, with only a fine line separating them. The extremity of life breeds death, and the extremity of death breeds life. Essentially, to break it is to establish it anew.
Everyone regards the Chaos Saint Tribulation as a terrifying disaster, with death lurking within, but think of it this way: what if the Chaos Saint Tribulation is merely a path to temper oneself?
The key issue is that figures like the Undying Heavenly Lord were able to cross this tribulation, and their cultivation during the Great Saint Tribulation would not have surpassed his own. This once again affirms Ye Xuan’s suspicion.
Thunderclap Body, Mysterious Fire forging the soul!
Eight simple words made Ye Xuan’s eyes shine bright, his body radiating light. This was a light of enlightenment, a light of relief.
All the heaviness vanished, all the oppression dissipated, and Ye Xuan’s expression gradually calmed as he gazed faintly at the nine-colored tribulation clouds, a hint of hope in his eyes.
Rumble!
Life and death profound thunder intertwined and fell, the black and white thunder crashing toward Ye Xuan, but this time, Ye Xuan did not dodge. Instead, he opened his arms and walked toward the Life and Death Profound Thunder.
“Heavenly Venerate?”
“Disciple?”
“Mad, he’s mad!”
Exclamations arose, none understanding Ye Xuan’s actions. No one could bear to watch because in the next moment Ye Xuan would be destroyed under the Life and Death Profound Thunder.
Bang!
Blood rain splattered, flesh shattered. Under the Life and Death Profound Thunder’s bombardment, Ye Xuan’s entire body exploded into a sky full of blood mist. Primordial Spirit’s eyes threatened to burst with sorrow, and the Heavenly Court cried out in grief. Only Liu Baiyi clenched his fists, staring intently, because he believed Ye Xuan would never seek a dead-end path.
Flesh shattered, soul scattered. This seemed to be Ye Xuan’s fate, but the next moment, a bizarre thing occurred.
In the chaos of Life and Death Profound Thunder, a silhouette began to form. Shattered flesh flew toward the silhouette, emanating a profound, ancient aura.
“What is life? What is death?”
“Extremely alive, then die; extremely dead, then live. Forge my Great Saint body with Chaos Divine Thunder, and temper my Great Saint soul with Five-Colored Mysterious Fire.”
Across the ancient heavenly vault, all heaven chanted. This silhouette bore Ye Xuan’s outline, and under the black and white thunder’s envelopment, his flesh grew rapidly, while a chaotic might subtly emanated from all around.
“Great… Great Saintly Might?”
In the distant starry sky, Yun Shan and a dozen chaotic beings shouted in shock, unable to believe their own eyes. The Saintly Might exerted on their minds made them tremble and want to kneel.
“Brother Ye!”
Liu Baiyi shouted excitedly, tears welling in his eyes, for he knew Ye Xuan wouldn’t die so easily.
“Heavenly Venerate!”
The Thirty-Three Layered Heavenly Court cheered excitedly, their desolate expressions turned into extreme joy.
“Great Saint aura? This is the aura of a Great Saint, has my disciple finally become a Saint among Saints?” Primordial Spirit muttered, eyes growing red.
Rumble!
The nine-colored tribulation cloud seemed enraged, nine rays transformed fiercely, presenting the Chaos Nine Kills entirely. The nine-colored thunder shattered this part of the Chaos Starry Sky and descended upon Ye Xuan with overwhelming might.
Bang!
Ye Xuan’s newly formed flesh burst into misty blood again, but his chanting echoed in the heavens’ void, that illusory figure forever unextinguished, reassembling his flesh once more.
Chaos Nine Kills raged, nine-colored thunder intertwined, creating a terrifying nine-colored thunder pond, submerging Ye Xuan completely.
Maintaining some Undying Holy Soul, regardless of the ravaging thunder tribulation, it couldn’t harm him. Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the nine-colored thunder pond, his flesh shattering then regrouping repeatedly.
“Thunderclap Body?”
“So that’s it, so that’s it!”
“Hahaha.”
Liu Baiyi laughed wildly, having anticipated Ye Xuan’s intentions. Seeing Ye Xuan using the Chaos Nine Kills to forge his body, he realized Ye Xuan had no fear of the Chaos Nine Kills; rather, this trial was crafting for Ye Xuan a terrifying Great Saint body.
Rumble!
Chaos Nine Kills roared, nine-colored thunder shook, yet Ye Xuan sat steadfast within the nine-colored thunder pond, unmoved, letting the thunder destroy his flesh, only to have it regroup instantly.
An astonishing ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times, his flesh reunited, Ye Xuan’s body shone with an indescribable luster that at first glance, seemed to fragment one’s soul.
Rumble!
The nine-colored tribulation cloud gradually dissipated, the raging Chaos Nine Kills vanished, and the primordial chaos starry sky returned to clarity, leaving Ye Xuan cross-legged in the void, silent but emitting a Saintly Might spreading across the cosmos.
“Great Saint body, achieved!”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, releasing a sound echoing throughout the lands, spewing a breath that rolled into a river of stars stretching thousands of miles, turning countless Chen Stars into ashes.
“Want to leave?”
Ye Xuan abruptly lifted his gaze, his fingers reaching toward the vanishing nine-colored tribulation cloud, causing the chaos starry sky to rumble, his fearsome Great Saint body embodying terrifying strength.
Boom!
The nine-colored tribulation cloud transformed into nine-colored halos absorbed by Ye Xuan as astonishment engulfed all who witnessed.
Screech!
Ye Xuan’s mouth opened wide as if swallowing the heavens and earth, unexpectedly ingesting the nine-colored tribulation cloud, which appeared on his skin as chaotic lines of nine-colored thunder that encircled his form, towering beyond imagination.
Absorbing the mysteries of chaos, assimilating the star river of sun and moon, swallowing the nine-colored tribulation cloud whole, for he sought perfection; unsatisfied with merely forging a Great Saint body, he aimed to refine the Chaos Nine Kills, using it fully as his offensive weapon.
Crack!
The nine-colored thunder encircled and ravaged Ye Xuan’s body before falling silent, leaving his form ever more intimidating, impossible to behold directly.
“This… how is this possible?”
Yun Shan trembled and shouted, staring dumbfounded at Ye Xuan’s majestic and blinding figure, his teeth chattering fiercely.
Never before! Truly never before!
Even the Undying Heavenly Lord of old who passed the Chaos Nine Kills never heard of swallowing the nine-colored tribulation cloud whole, or refining the nine-colored mysterious thunder for personal use.
