Chapter 204
“The Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation!” The crowd’s eyebrows twitched wildly as they were struck with intense shock.
This kind of tribulation was something even Quasi-Emperors had never witnessed before, yet Jiang Chen was encountering it for the second time in a row.
“The heavens truly want to erase the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land!”
“To face the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation twice in a row, could it be that future tribulations for the Saint King, Great Saint, and even Quasi-Emperor realms will also be the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation?”
“Who could possibly cross such a path?”
The thought of the tribulations yet to come made everyone’s scalps tingle. The Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation became more terrifying the further one progressed.
The higher the realm, the smaller the gap between levels, and the harder it was to make up for the difference in battle power.
Moreover, the Emperors who had stepped into that realm were some of the strongest throughout history. Facing even one of them would be overwhelming, let alone nine!
Especially in the Quasi-Emperor realm, where even a small difference in level meant a world of difference in power. The gap in strength was not even comparable. Moreover, reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm made it nearly impossible to directly face Emperors of the past—let alone nine of them.
So, when they considered that future Quasi-Emperor tribulations might also involve facing these Emperors, everyone was utterly paralyzed with fear. This was a path unimaginable to tread. Just thinking about it made them tremble uncontrollably.
“It’s coming!”
*Boom!*
The sea of lightning churned as nine imposing Emperors descended, their vast auras resembling that of divine generals.
*Boom!*
A dragon’s roar resounded as a massive black dragon charged downward. This black dragon was surrounded by black lightning, emanating a destructive aura as if it could obliterate everything in its path, even the heavens and the earth.
“The True Dragon Emperor!” someone exclaimed.
This was the first Emperor of the True Dragon Clan, a pureblood True Dragon. After his emergence, no one could stand against him. From beginning to end, he suppressed all opposition. Among his peers, there were no equals.
The black thunder dragon was unstoppable, turning everything in its path to ashes, disappearing into an endless light, and vanishing from everyone’s sight.
Witnessing all this, the crowd’s hearts skipped a beat, especially those in the Saint Realm and Saint King Realm. Their scalps tingled with fear. Just a wisp of this aura was enough to make them tremble. They couldn’t comprehend the pressure Jiang Chen was facing.
“I suspect just this one thunder dragon could crush me!” a Saint King said with lingering fear. He was millions of kilometers away, yet even at this distance, the thunder dragon’s aura intimidated him.
“Perhaps this is the gap between geniuses and the rest of us!” another Saint King couldn’t help but lament.
They had once been geniuses envied by all, but in front of Jiang Chen, their pride had been utterly shattered, leaving nothing behind.
“And this is just one Emperor. Can the Primordial Holy Land survive this?” someone questioned.
“I think it will be difficult. This is the True Dragon Emperor of old, who was invincible in his time, with no equals across the world. In that era, not only were there no rivals, but even those at the same level couldn’t compare!”
“Isn’t this just like the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land? Can you find anyone in this generation who can match him?”
“That may be true, but this is still an Emperor of the past!”
“So what if it’s an Emperor? It doesn’t mean he can crush the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land in this realm!”
“I believe they are more or less evenly matched, maybe even with the True Dragon Emperor being stronger!”
“You’re favoring the old over the new. Even if I don’t want to admit it, the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land isn’t much weaker than the True Dragon Emperor!”
“I tend to agree!”
“Of course you would; you’re from the human race!”
“It seems you still underestimate the True Dragon Emperor. This is an invincible figure from the past. It’s not that simple. And this is just the first one. Even if no one interferes, the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land will struggle to survive!”
As the True Dragon Emperor made his move, the divine senses of various forces collided, speculating about the final outcome of the confrontation.
Perhaps the legendary status of the True Dragon Emperor, combined with the fact that no one had encountered such a figure in countless years, led most to side with the True Dragon Emperor. For them, it was a matter of pride and honor.
After all, this was their side of the conflict, and they had no good relationship with the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land. Naturally, they couldn’t favor Jiang Chen. Many even hoped that Jiang Chen would be crushed by the True Dragon Emperor.
The human race, on the other hand, had slightly more confidence in Jiang Chen. However, because of his monstrous talent, there was also fear, which led some human forces to be less optimistic. They didn’t want Jiang Chen to grow stronger.
*Boom!*
The thunder dragon descended, bringing destruction. Its vast might spread out, causing stars to explode and the Great Dao to wail. It was as if the world was ending, with everything being obliterated!
“Meteor Fist!” Facing the overwhelming thunder dragon, Jiang Chen remained calm, fully releasing the power of his Hunyuan Dao Body.
A supreme aura erupted from Jiang Chen, representing his path—the path of the Sovereign of All Ways. Under this aura, all other paths were suppressed, including the Thunder Dragon itself.
*Boom!*
The Thunder Dragon roared, as if enraged by the suppression it was under. In the next moment, a silver fist streaked across the sky like a falling meteor, crashing into the Thunder Dragon. The immense power exploded forth, causing the entire Thunder Dragon to shatter.
Seeing this, the True Dragon Emperor’s eyes flickered, as if infused with a soul. He also swung his fist towards Jiang Chen, unleashing the True Dragon Fist, one of the divine abilities he had created.
The collision of their techniques was catastrophic, causing the surrounding stars to burst like fireworks.
*Boom!*
The two forces clashed, but there was no evenly matched struggle as many had anticipated. Instead, there was only overwhelming dominance and unrivaled might.
The True Dragon Fist immediately crumbled under Jiang Chen’s Meteor Fist, with the entire arm of the True Dragon Emperor shattering, and the Meteor Fist continued its trajectory toward the Emperor’s head.
With a loud bang, the figure of the True Dragon Emperor exploded, unable to withstand the overwhelming power. It was completely annihilated. As the True Dragon Emperor dissipated, the vast starry sky was left with only the violent sound of thunder.
“Defeated with a single punch? Did I see that right? The shadow of the True Dragon Emperor couldn’t withstand even one punch from the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land!”
“This is unbelievable! Even if there’s a difference in the quality of their imprints, it shouldn’t be this extreme!”
“Could it be that even the True Dragon Emperor at the Saint Realm level isn’t a match for the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land?”
“Impossible! No matter how monstrous the Holy Son is, he shouldn’t be able to so easily obliterate the True Dragon Emperor at the same level!”
“The imprint can’t fully revive the Emperor’s past power, but it should at least have eighty percent of his strength!”
“Eighty percent? I don’t think it even had fifty percent! This so-called strongest tribulation doesn’t seem all that formidable to me!”
“Perhaps it’s been exaggerated! This definitely wasn’t the True Dragon Emperor’s full power!”
“If the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation were really that weak, it wouldn’t be known as the most powerful tribulation, one that countless Quasi-Emperors have fallen to over the ages!”
“You all underestimate the power of the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation!”
The annihilation of the True Dragon Emperor with a single blow caused an uproar among the experts of the foreign races. They couldn’t accept this reality.
While they could believe that Jiang Chen might defeat the Emperor, they never expected it to be in such a manner. After all, this was the imprint of the True Dragon Emperor, an unparalleled Emperor of the past. Even as an imprint, it shouldn’t have been so easily eradicated!
This was highly unrealistic.
This led them to speculate that the imprint might only have thirty to fifty percent of its original power. However, many knew that the imprint likely had at least eighty percent of its original strength. If it only had thirty percent, those monstrous
Quasi-Emperors would have long since overcome the tribulation. It’s important to note that before Jiang Chen, those who had successfully passed the Nine Emperor Heavenly Tribulation were few and far between—countable on one hand.
On one hand, they didn’t want to acknowledge this. On the other, they couldn’t comprehend how Jiang Chen could be so powerful at this level. Even when facing the invincible True Dragon Emperor, he could still dominate at the same realm.
Everything stemmed from Jiang Chen’s own strength and trump cards. With the Origin Immortal Bone and the path of the Sovereign of All Ways, coupled with his Primordial Dao Body, Jiang Chen could easily suppress any opponent within the same realm.
Furthermore, the control he had over the Origin domain allowed him to elevate his battle power to unimaginable heights.
Suddenly, in a dark and shadowy space, a pair of eyes opened, as if awakened by something.
“My imprint was so easily defeated! This human is indeed unique. If he grows further, he could become a perfect meal for me, greatly replenishing my energy!”
“And with a Primordial Dao Body—if I refine him when he reaches the Quasi-Emperor realm, I might be able to repair my own Emperor laws!”
Jiang Chen was unaware that he had already attracted the attention of an ancient monster—none other than the True Dragon Emperor himself.
At this moment, under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, three more Emperors in the vast heavenly court seemed unable to hold back any longer.
They too began to descend.
