Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 101: Thunder Tribulation

In that instant, the atmosphere in the arena became completely different.

Two immense wills collided, and even the ordinary spectators in the audience couldn't help but feel a sense of sublimity.

It was like standing before the great pyramids, or looking down upon the winding Great Wall.

These were things that shouldn't exist according to our conventional understanding, yet we were witnessing them with our own eyes.

One word could perfectly summarize all these things that inspired such a sense of sublimity.

Miracle.

And at this very moment, whether they were aware of it or not, the audience felt their very souls shaken by this miracle of the human spirit.

Zhang Zhizhen's eyes were like lightning, his will like thunder. He hadn't spoken a word since entering this state.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, he stomped a foot forward. The ground boomed like muffled thunder. His massive, terrifying figure moved as fast as a lightning strike, kicking up dust and smoke as the ground cracked beneath him. With no feints or tricks, he appeared directly in front of Zhou Yuanjue.

The might of heaven, utterly firm and Yang. No need for variation, only a direct assault!

Zhang Zhizhen's attack was devoid of any cunning or complexity, like the majestic Celestial Dao descending from above. A single palm strike fell from the sky.

The shape of his wide palm looked somewhat strange. It wasn't flat like in a typical Palm Technique. Instead, his palm was cupped inward and the back of his hand was raised, as if he were holding an egg.

This hand posture, combined with the fierce downward strike, compressed a large amount of air in the hollow of his palm, forming a high-pressure pocket in a split second.

Then, at the moment of impact, the cupped palm flattened out with immense force, detonating the pocket of air with a violent explosion.

BOOM!!

With this strike, Zhang Zhizhen's palm actually produced a grand, resounding peal of thunder.

At the same time, Zhang Zhizhen's spirit soared. A light flashed in his eyes, as if he were a great God from the highest heavens, wielding the punishment of lightning and thunder to strike fear into all demons and evil.

Commanding thunder and lightning, walking on fire and wind!

The Palm Technique merged with the true intent of his spirit, unleashing the brilliant might of thunder and lightning to its fullest extent!

Celestial Heart Five Thunders Palm—Thunder Palm!

It was a direct frontal assault, seemingly without any variation, but under the pressure of that immense will, it was simply impossible to dodge. If the heavens wished to punish you, it was useless to flee to the ends of the earth.

The air, shattered by the immense Palm Force, was like a bomb. Zhou Yuanjue crossed his arms to block, but his body was still blasted away by the tremendous power. At the same time, a clap of thunder echoed in his mind, stunning him.

Being hit by that palm was equivalent to taking a direct hit from a rolling thunderclap from the heavens.

What god would not submit? What ghost would dare to charge? With one shock from the divine thunder, all evil is extinguished!

This was the Thunder Skill of the Celestial Heart Sect. In a sense, it had already transcended Martial Arts and become a Divine Power.

Forcing Zhou Yuanjue back with a single palm, Zhang Zhizhen showed no mercy. He pressed his advantage, closing the distance and unleashing a continuous chain of palm strikes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

The entire venue fell silent. The only sound was a series of thunderous impacts from the arena. Even from so far away, the crowd could clearly feel that soul-shaking power.

"The Thunder Skill..."

Watching Zhang Zhizhen's utterly firm and Yang Palm Technique in the arena, hearing the sounds like muffled thunder, Wu Tianhe felt his own body trembling slightly.

Or rather, it wasn't him, but the "Divine Format" within him that was feeling fear. In a way, beings like them were a type of "evil entity." Moreover, the one he followed had died amidst heavenly thunder. Wu Tianhe felt that if he were in the arena, his "Divine Format" would be scattered by a single palm strike, robbing him of his ability to fight.

In the arena, Zhou Yuanjue's massive body was slightly curled, his arms crossed before him like a shield to block Zhang Zhizhen's attacks.

In the hands of Zhang Zhizhen, a top-tier Martial Artist beneath the level of Saint Awakening, the power of the Thunder Skill was beyond imagination.

A Secret Technique rooted in the five viscera allowed Zhang Zhizhen's physical strength to match his own, reaching the pinnacle below Saint Awakening. That peculiar way of exerting force and detonating the air was like a bomb exploding, each strike sending the body into violent shock and paralysis. But the most terrifying part was his Spiritual Will, which constantly battered Zhou Yuanjue's mind.

The Flaming Giant Bird behind him tucked in its wings to shield his body. Streaks of lightning exploded against it, causing the giant bird's form to shake violently, as if it might be dispersed at any moment.

This was the true power of the Thunder Skill—an attack on the spiritual level.

Zhou Yuanjue retreated continuously. In his perception, Zhang Zhizhen was like a tribulation cloud, constantly striking down with lightning, trying to obliterate him, a mere mortal, body and soul.

A Thunder Tribulation.

Legend has it that when Ancient Cultivators transcended themselves and defied the heavens to achieve the Dao, a tribulation would befall them. The nine heavens would stir, and thunder would roll across the sky. To fail to withstand it meant death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

Tribulation was a punishment, but also a test. Just as uncut jade cannot become a masterpiece, only after countless trials can one attain the fruits of the Dao.

In Zhou Yuanjue's eyes, tribulation was an opportunity. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

What couldn't strike him down would only make him stronger.

'Transcend! Transcend!'

From ancient times to the present, humanity has never halted its steps in the face of natural disaster.

If the sky falls, we patch it. If the floods rage, we tame them. If there are too many suns, we shoot them down!

From primitive society, to agrarian civilization, to the technological era, and then out into the vast, starry sky.

From a weak, ordinary person, to an accomplished master of Fist Technique, and then to transcending the limits of humanity.

He had always believed that the spirit of humanity could overcome everything, could shatter all shackles.

Nothing could stop Zhou Yuanjue's conviction to transcend himself.

This had nothing to do with race, profit, or position. It was the most fundamental belief driving the continuous progress of all human civilization, and it was the inevitable law governing the development of all things in the world.

And at this moment, Zhou Yuanjue seemed to be the very incarnation of this belief, this law.

When a man unleashes his killing intent, heaven and earth are overturned!

Zhang Zhizhen discovered that under the assault of the Thunder Skill, amidst the entanglement of their wills, the round, rolling core of Zhou Yuanjue's spirit had begun to crack. But this did not signify destruction. It was merely shedding its outer shell, revealing its true nature.

It was a brilliant, flawless, golden sphere.

'Why would such a person exist in this world? Why would such a will exist?' Zhang Zhizhen couldn't understand it.

'This shouldn't be a will possessed by a human. Beneath that impure shell, what I'm seeing seems to be the simplest law of this world.'

'Pure, immense, unchangeable, and indestructible.'

'How can one destroy a law with mere human power?'

He suddenly had an epiphany. It was absolutely impossible to defeat this person on a spiritual and mental level. His spirit had no limits.

There was only one way to defeat this man.

He had to use the most ferocious attacks to completely destroy his body on a physical level in the shortest time possible. There was no other way. Any pressure would only become fuel to drive the law of "transcendence."

The Heart Fire began to burn on Zhou Yuanjue's body, spreading continuously and igniting the other Acupoints within him.

His body gradually became translucent. A candle flame burned, and a jade-like light bloomed.

The Thunder Tribulation was refining his Jade Body!

SCREEE!!

Under the bombardment of the lightning will, the cowering Flaming Giant Bird went from tottering on the brink of collapse to gradually stabilizing. Finally, it slowly raised its head. Its cry pierced the sky as it spread its wings, facing the endless lightning head-on.

Soaring!
