Chapter 1085: Chapter 1104: I’ll Bear My Own Tribulation—I Won’t Let You Die!
“Stars shifting, flowers grafting.”
Suddenly, an overwhelming power that could reverse Heaven and Earth was unleashed. A silhouette instantly shielded Liu Baiyi, transferring the Chaos Saint Tribulation back onto itself.
“Brother Ye?”
Liu Baiyi cried out in shock, for the person standing before him was Ye Xuan. A brilliant smile traced Ye Xuan’s lips, entering Liu Baiyi’s vision at that moment.
“I shall bear my tribulation, I will not let you die.”
Ye Xuan whispered mournfully, pushing Liu Baiyi out in the flash of a moment, then turned to face the Chaos Fourth Kill.
Bang!
The Chaotic Four Tribulation Formation exploded violently. Ye Xuan was engulfed in terrifying lightning, half of his body shattered, and his blood stained the endless stars.
“Brother Ye?”
Liu Baiyi wailed mournfully, tears streaming from his eyes as he gazed blankly at Ye Xuan’s broken body bleeding into the heavens.
“Why?”
“Why does it have to be this way?”
Liu Baiyi shouted in sorrow. He had already transferred the Chaos Saint Tribulation onto himself, so why did Ye Xuan reverse it back?
Indeed, Liu Baiyi had miscalculated one thing.
Years ago, Luo Hou had once transferred his calamity onto Ye Xuan. As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Ye Xuan had naturally been cautious and had even studied the art of transferring tribulations.
When Liu Baiyi attempted to bear the Chaos Saint Tribulation for him, Ye Xuan sensed it immediately. How could he let Liu Baiyi suffer the Chaos Saint Tribulation, resulting in his own downfall?
Ye Xuan was very aware of one truth: the Chaos Saint Tribulation could not be transferred. Even if Liu Baiyi succeeded in transferring it, once he perished, the Chaos Saint Tribulation would still descend upon him.
Moreover, Ye Xuan could not allow Liu Baiyi to die for him, having already experienced such a thing once before. He didn’t want Liu Baiyi to suffer any harm for his sake, to become a perpetual regret and pain in his heart.
“My…my tribulation…I will bear it…Brother Baiyi…I won’t let you die for me.”
Above the starry sky, only half of Ye Xuan’s body remained, appearing utterly tragic. His entire being was enveloped in the ultimate aura of death, yet his blood-smeared face still endeavored to smile at Liu Baiyi.
“Brother Ye?”
Liu Baiyi gazed blankly, tears streaming down his cheeks, his fists clenched tightly. He hated himself for lacking invincible cultivation, for being unable to share Ye Xuan’s burden, a guilt so profound it gnawed at his soul, rendering him unable to breathe for the pain.
“I swear, I, Liu Baiyi, vow to Chaos, from now on, I shall set foot on the road to supreme power, become the supreme of eternity, ascend to the pinnacle of the heavens, not to overlook all heavens, not for supreme power, but simply to protect you, Ye Xuan, for a lifetime, without regret even in death.” Liu Baiyi wailed mournfully, tears already blurring his vision.
At this moment, Liu Baiyi set a monumental goal in his heart. He would step onto the invincible path, protect those he wished to guard, and despite a perilous future, he was determined to blaze a trail forward.
Rumble!
The Chaos Fifth Kill was brewing, the nine-colored tribulation cloud rolling. It was a cyan lightning tribulation, harboring a lethal intent to obliterate all worlds, firmly locking onto Ye Xuan.
Under the nine-colored tribulation cloud, half of Ye Xuan’s body convulsed, pale bones exposed. The Chaos Mysterious Fog covered him, his flesh rapidly regenerating, restoring him to his original state in an instant.
Unfortunately, though Ye Xuan’s physical body seemed intact, he was actually utterly spent, his cultivation less than one-tenth left. Even the small time tree and the Silent Annihilation Origin lay dormant; he simply couldn’t fend off this Chaos Fifth Kill.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, black!
These are the colors of the Chaos Nine Kills. Each descending thunder is more terrifying than the last. Ye Xuan had just withstood the first four thunder tribulations, and there were still five more to endure, yet he was already spent.
In other words, even if Ye Xuan could withstand the Chaos Nine Kills, the Chaos Five-Colored Profound Fire awaited afterward, more terrifying than the Chaos Nine Kills, let alone the final Great Dao Heart Inquiry.
Beyond redemption, certain death.
The Chaos Saint Tribulation was too baffling and too terrifying. Even an ordinary Chaos Saint Tribulation might not be something Ye Xuan could withstand, let alone this mutated Chaos Saint Tribulation?
“Heavenly Venerate!”
“Ye Xuan!”
“Brother Ye!”
Crying voices erupted from all directions, powerless to aid Ye Xuan against the Chaos Nine Kills, only able to watch helplessly as the fifth thunder tribulation emerged, as if Ye Xuan would be scattered to the winds in the next moment.
“Ye Xuan, back then you spared me, Luo Hou. Today, this debt of causality is repaid. From now on, I, Luo Hou, owe you nothing.”
Rumble!
Luo Hou shouted, a thread of Causality Power drifting from his brow. This was the Causality Origin Power he had cultivated painstakingly over many years. When Luo Hou sacrificed his greatest asset, he fell into a state of extreme weakness.
“Go!”
Luo Hou released the Causality Origin Power, blood streaming from his seven orifices, his condition weakened to the extreme.
Throughout his life, Luo Hou had been proud and would never allow himself to owe Ye Xuan. Today, faced with Ye Xuan’s unimaginable lethal tribulation, he could only offer his Causality Origin Power to block the fifth thunder tribulation, which was all he could do.
The cause of past years, the effect of today, Luo Hou repaid the blessing of life granted by Ye Xuan’s compassion from years past.
Crack!
The Chaos Fifth Kill finally struck down on Ye Xuan, with Luo Hou’s Causality Origin Power transforming into a sky of red light, enveloping Ye Xuan.
Bang!
The Causality Origin Power shattered without a trace, and Ye Xuan was thrown violently backward; the fifth thunder tribulation was thus endured by Ye Xuan.
Wow!
Luo Hou spewed a mist of blood, fainting instantly. Lu Ya hurriedly caught him, preventing Luo Hou from falling into the Primordial World.
With the disintegration of the Causality Origin, Luo Hou was struck by a significant calamity. He wouldn’t recover from his injuries for three hundred thousand years.
“Luo Hou?”
Ye Xuan looked on in a daze, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. He gazed at Luo Hou’s pale and unconscious face, a complex look flickering in his eyes.
Ye Xuan never expected that in the brink of life and death, Luo Hou would exhaust his cultivation to shield him from a thunder tribulation.
Rumble!
The nine-colored tribulation cloud seemed enraged, as two thunders were birthed from it. The Chaos Sixth Kill and Chaos Seventh Kill brewed simultaneously, as if intending to annihilate Ye Xuan in one blow.
“Disciple, my whole life has been a fog, only you are my greatest pride as a teacher. This thing I have treasured for many years, never used even in the great battle with Pangu. Today, I give it to you, hoping it will help you through this tribulation.”
The Primordial Spirit whispered sorrowfully, a glow emerging in his palms. When the glow dissipated, an ancient, rustic Small Cauldron appeared in his hands.
“Void-breaking Heavenly Cauldron?”
In the distant starry sky, when the more than a dozen chaotic beings at Zhan Yunshan saw what was in the Primordial Spirit’s hands, Zhan Yunshan and others called out in shock, almost unable to believe their eyes.
