Chapter 554: 554: Ancient Purple Sky Dragon Tribulation
Although he didn’t know how powerful this heavenly tribulation was, he did know that anything related to the Purple Sky and the Divine Dragon was definitely not weak!
The might of this tribulation was explosively intense!
A sense of strong regret filled Jiang Xiaobai’s heart. How could he have hesitated and become distracted!
Things wouldn’t have come to this if it hadn’t been for that. But one thing’s for sure– the system is screwing him over for sure!
That’s absolutely reprehensible! Truly appalling!
But what good was regret now, Jiang Xiaobai thought, the system had sealed all his cultivation power.
He could only resist it head on!
The only piece of relatively good news was that the system was somewhat humane and promised to help him recover eighty percent of his injuries after each heavenly tribulation.
Well, even though it was only eighty percent, it was better than nothing.
But truth be told, if he survived this tribulation, then…
“How the hell am I supposed to resist this?”
Jiang Xiaobai was left huffing in indignation!
The lightning from a great distance struck right outside the range of the dark clouds, sparing those underneath.
But the mere sight of it was surely enough to frighten them!
The tribulation clouds now seemed to be almost ready, and the purple lightning was becoming increasingly frequent.
They could even see the figure of the purple dragon within the tribulation clouds.
Everyone was genuinely shocked and taken aback!
“What…what’s going on here, is that Jiang Xiaobai?”
Ao Yan looked towards the silhouette under the tribulation, her face full of shock.
After confirming that it was indeed Jiang Xiaobai, she felt her heart rise up in her throat!
Without any hesitation, she wanted to rush over, but Gu Ning promptly grabbed her.
“Let me go! I can’t let Jiang Xiaobai face this alone!”
“You’ll get yourself killed!”
Ao Yan howled.
“This is his test, if you go, you’ll die.” Gu Ning tightened his grip on her arm. “None of you are able to withstand it, and not only that, if you get involved, the tribulation will double.”
At these words, Ao Yan’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
Double?
Heavenly tribulation?
“What… what the hell is going on?” Ao Yan eagerly called out. “You must have a solution, right? Don’t lie to me!”
Ao Yan was seriously aghast.
The sight of the terrifying purple lightning was enough to make people’s hair stand on end.
The infinite and overpowering might of the tribulation clouds were like a giant hammer pounding on everyone’s hearts.
What would happen if someone was struck by this lightning, could anyone survive?
Probably not, even Gu Ning might not make it.
Bai He stood beside Gu Ning, looking equally worried. “We’re doomed. Jiang Xiaobai has really outdone himself this time, he’s really overstepped the mark.”
“The Ancient Purple Sky Dragon Tribulation, such a terrifying force, this world won’t be able to take it.”
Bai He murmured.
The only consequence of not being able to withstand it would be the collapse of this world.
But it was too late to turn back, this was the will of the heaven and earth!
Who could oppose it?
“Let’s just hope that the kid, Jiang Xiaobai has a countermeasure.” Bai He murmured softly.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were glued on Jiang Xiaobai at the center of the tribulation clouds, far beyond the stage of merely sweating buckets, everyone was waiting for the heavenly tribulation to come.
This tribulation was terrifying!
Even more terrifying was that no one knew why it appeared. Most of them didn’t even know what a heavenly tribulation was!
Only Gu Ning and Bai He had expressions of alarm on their faces.
Not just this region, the whole holy city was trembling under the clouds of tribulation stretching for miles.
Everyone could feel the pressure that made their hearts race!
They all fled in panic, no one dared to get close because they all had a feeling in the back of their minds.
Whoever went there would meet with certain death!
This was the resonance of all the cultivators with heaven and earth!
In the center of the tribulation clouds, Jiang Xiaobai stood like an idiot on the spot. Since all his cultivations were sealed, he could only stand.
Where could he run even if he wanted to?
He couldn’t even take to the sky. When the horrifying pressure of the tribulation descended, he couldn’t even climb a wall.
In other words, his current predicament was preparing him for death.
In the midst of his boredom, he found some comfort from his composure and poured himself a drink from his flask as he sat on the stone bench.
One last drink before embarking on the journey, that wouldn’t be too much to ask, right?
“Damn, how is this possible, isn’t it supposed to be that you only encounter a heavenly tribulation when you reach a certain level of strength? Why did I encounter it?”
Jiang Xiaobai was really confused.
“System notification: Heavenly tribulation is not only encountered at the time of breaking through a realm, it can also be said to be a punishment!”
“The host’s act of fusing the power of seven laws violates the rules of destiny considerably, but it is because of the system that you were able to accomplish this step, by your own merits.”
“Not by exploiting loopholes or shortcuts, which is why fate did not erase you, but rather punished you with a heavenly tribulation.”
After the system’s voice echoed, Jiang Xiaobai finally understood completely.
At the same time, his heart sank!
He never imagined that his actions would violate the laws of fate, but because his methods were legitimate, he was not erased.
But due to such actions, the rules of heaven and earth, of course, were upset.
When rules are upset, they’ll screw you over, it’s that simple.
“Oh, when you put it like that, I suddenly feel like I’m asking for it, huh?”
Jiang Xiaobai murmured as he sipped his wine.
Kaboom!
The tribulation clouds in the sky exploded with another horrifying thunderclap, which seemed to resonate with the entire continent!
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but shiver.
He wanted to challenge the tribulation in the sky, but then thought better of it, he was already half in the coffin, there was no need to speed up his death.
Boom!
Another flash of lightning shot across, the purple electricity in the tribulation clouds constant, appearing to be ready to pounce at any moment.
It seemed as if the real tribulation was about to descend in the next second!
Jiang Xiaobai also had a premonition, he drained his cup of wine in one sip, looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, his heart, surprisingly, was very calm.
What could he do? Apart from accepting, all he could do was accept.
Sure enough, in less than ten seconds, the pressure in the heaven and earth suddenly surged, as if the heaven and earth were fiercely angry!
At that moment Jiang Xiaobai truly understood, this was the punishment of heaven!
Immediately after, a slender thread of purple lightning, over ten meters long, blasted from the tribulation clouds, aiming straight for Jiang Xiaobai on the ground.
In that moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt engulfed by death, his scalp tingling!
Nearly in the blink of an eye, the purple lightning fiercely struck straight down on Jiang Xiaobai’s head. From top to bottom, his whole body emitted a burst of black smoke.
He stood there like a charcoal figure, with only the whites of his eyes visible on the outside.
His whole body was scorched!
The moment he opened his mouth, a puff of black smoke came out.
Despite it, Jiang Xiaobai began to laugh immediately.
