Aspiring to the Immortal Path-Chapter 908: Heavenly Wrath

Tang Jie finally understood a problem that had troubled him for a long time.

This problem was that after attaining the Immortal Spirit Body, he had felt that a body cultivator was clearly weaker than a law cultivator.

Other than the twelve Combat Emperor strikes, body cultivation seemed to have very limited use.

Only now did he understand that his Immortal Spirit Body had never been complete. The real Immortal Spirit Body meant a mastery of Immortal energy. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Being able to master Immortal energy at the equivalent of the Violet Palace Realm was an enormous achievement, proof that the Martial Lord had possessed heaven-defying talent, and this wasn't even considering his other feats like the Parting Classic and the Weapon Dao.

Perhaps it was precisely because he was so heaven-defying that the world could not tolerate his existence. When Tang Jie's Immortal Spirit Body was completed, he felt an enormous rejecting force from the world.

A moment later, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashing within them.

Tang Jie knew this spelled trouble. "Get out of the way! It's a Heavenly Tribulation!"

The Parting Classic went against the Dao, and the world would not tolerate it!

Tang Jie finally realized why the Martial Lord had not transmitted the complete versions earlier: because the heavens themselves would not stand for such a thing!

Everyone backed away, leaving Tang Jie's original body gazing up at the sky, a fiery will to fight burning in his eyes.

So what if the world would not tolerate it?

A cultivator defied the heavens! If it incurred the wrath of the heavens, it meant it was a path worth walking!

A purple bolt of lightning, suffused with destructive power, cleaved through the sky. Such was its savagery that it seemed capable of tearing through anything in its path, shattering mountains or plowing through the earth if it had to!

Xu Miaoran had never seen such a terrifying bolt of lightning before, and her heart almost leaped out from her mouth. But Tang Jie's original body roared and jumped into the air, swinging a fist at the lightning bolt.

BOOM!!!

A massive shockwave tore through the world.

The shockwave was so powerful that even Tang Jie's avatar, Xu Miaoran, and the Vermillion Bird, who had all retreated a great distance, were instantly sent flying.

As they looked at the site of the impact, they saw a scene of devastation, with only a giant standing tall—Tang Jie. One arm was drenched in blood, swiftly recovering through Immortal energy.

But the heavens were clearly not ready to give Tang Jie a chance to recover. The second lightning bolt had already congealed, and it cleaved down.

Tang Jie's original body gave another wild punch.

Each lightning bolt was more savage than the last, but the original body seemed to only grow more excited. The entire hidden realm shuddered under their clash, the skies flashing with rainbow colors, seeming about to collapse.

It had to be understood that the sky was actually the barrier of the hidden realm. It was so sturdy that even the Guangfa Godhead's Divine Will finger hadn't been able to destroy it, but now, it was being taxed by this battle!

Xu Miaoran cried out, "Why is this Heavenly Tribulation so frightening?"

A Heavenly Tribulation had come down when Tang Jie had entered Deification, and if it had been this powerful, Tang Jie wouldn't even exist right now.

Tang Jie casually replied, "It was just part of the process at that time, while it's true wrath this time. The two can't be compared."

Xu Miaoran was stunned.

As she looked into the distance, she saw Tang Jie's original body drenched in blood and immersed in battle, even using the Combat Emperor Catalog's twelve strikes. Now that he had reached greater attainment in the Immortal Spirit Body, he no longer had a limit on the number of times he could use the strikes, and he threw out punches so fast that the afterimages of his fists seemed to fill the heavens. So powerful and intimidating was the pressure he exuded that it was like the Martial Lord had been reborn. Xu Miaoran and the Vermillion Bird were enchanted by the sight, and even Ice Phoenix had been let out at some point, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

The Heavenly Tribulation continued, the lightning growing stronger and stronger, each bolt suffused with the black-gray energies of Slaughter and Destruction.

The power of Slaughter ignored the original body's tough constitution, slicing off chunks of flesh and causing blood to flow. Meanwhile, the power of Destruction constantly harassed him, eating away at his flesh and stripping away his healing powers.

The power of Destruction and Slaughter filled the world, robbing it of all life.

Xu Miaoran turned pale, and she turned to Tang Jie's avatar. "Aren't you going to help?"

Tang Jie replied, "This is his trial, his Fate. He needs to endure it on his own."

But isn't he you?

Xu Miaoran was confused.

As if he could see what Xu Miaoran was thinking, the avatar smiled and said, "The original body cultivates the Martial Lord's Dao, which the world cannot tolerate. If I help him, I will only draw the wrath of the heavens onto myself. Don't worry. He'll be fine. If what the Martial Lord had left behind were so easily undone, he wouldn't be the Martial Lord."

These words made Xu Miaoran sigh in relief.

"But this hidden realm might be lost," Tang Jie sighed.

As if to confirm his words, a bolt of lightning blasted a hole through the sky curtain. This hidden realm was located in a crack of the Rosecloud Domain, so the moment this hole was created, the Gold Ignis Astral Winds rushed in.

The avatar waved his hand, summoning the Mountain River State Diagram and pulling in Xian Tao and Ice Phoenix, who were too weak to withstand the Astral Winds. He then suspended the diagram in the air, seeking to absorb the surviving land before the Astral Winds destroyed everything.

Meanwhile, a new kind of lightning had appeared in the sky.

Unlike before, this lightning remained in the air, and as bolt after bolt appeared, they interlinked and accumulated power, gradually taking the form of a mountain.

A giant mountain formed from intertwined lightning!

And this mountain of lightning was brimming with Slaughter and Destruction.

It began its descent, and though it was not fast, it annihilated anything and everything in its path.

Tang Jie's original body turned grave.

He roared, his entire body emitting white energy as he grew two heads and four arms, and then he punched with all his strength!

Boom!

Another world-shaking clash!

The berserk energy overflowed into a frenzied tide of destruction that devoured all and turned it into void.

And in the center of this vortex of power, the original body froze, and then he began to crumble, swiftly dissolving into dust in the wind…
