Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1061 - 112: 99 Days of Tribulation_2

Gu Chen was strong, but facing this ultimate heavenly tribulation, his fate was still an unknown.

"What is the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?" Princess Xidie asked in confusion, her jade-like face filled with questions.

Chu Yue Ling, the saintess of Taoxu Road, did not answer, but focused intently on Gu Chen. She had been full of confidence in Gu Chen, but now, she had lost the composure she once had.

Princess Xidie was very perceptive, and although Chu Yue Ling didn't speak, she could tell from her increasingly serious gaze just how terrifying the so-called "Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation" must be.

However, in the face of the heavenly tribulation, others could not help even a little, and the one undergoing the tribulation had to strive to cross it on their own.

If they made it through, they would live; if they did not, they would die.

Princess Xidie felt extremely anxious at the moment, but she was helpless.

Boom boom boom!

Before long, Gu Chen had managed to cross thirty-six bolts of thunder by relying on the Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra.

At this moment, he stood in the vault of heaven, confronting the endless lightning, facing the terrible heavenly might without a trace of fear.

But the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation consisted of eighty-one thunderbolts, and each was stronger than the last; what Gu Chen faced now was just the beginning.

Indeed, from the thirty-seventh thunderbolt, the power of the tribulation began to sharply increase. Even though he used the Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra, and with his powerful physique, Gu Chen was still struck hard, stumbling almost to the point of tumbling down from the heavens.

"So powerful!"

Gu Chen marveled, his eyes solemn, and at the corner of his mouth was a trickle of fresh blood. He was injured.

"Roar!"

Seeing this, Gu Chen did not hesitate to use the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret. Strands of imperial dragon energy flowed around him, making him resemble a Co-Owner of the Human Clan on an expedition, every move filled with immense dignity and charm.

With both the Divine Sun World Illumination Sutra and the Emperor's Extreme World-Shaking Secret in use, coupled with the Immortal Sacred Body and the four thousand one hundred years of power accumulated in his body, it could be said that Gu Chen had given it his all!

Crackling sounds!

Countless lighting flashes dazzled, and myriad strands of silver light burst forth. This place had become a land of destruction, as if myriad great dragons were roaring in the world, able to cause the whole cosmos to collapse.

The tribulation's might and power were truly unparalleled and terrifyingly strong, causing Princess Xidie to pale, and even from a safe distance, she felt a sense of panic.

"Can anyone really cross such a powerful thunder tribulation?" she said in a nervous voice that trembled unconsciously.

As expected, after enduring another thirty thunderbolts, many parts of Gu Chen's body became a blur of blood and flesh. He coughed up blood incessantly, and his complexion turned extremely pale.

Even Gu Chen himself was unclear when he had last been so battered since he had realized his magical powers and come to the higher realm.

In life-or-death battles, no one could push him to this point at the same level, but the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation had succeeded.

It was evident just how extraordinary this thunder tribulation was. If it were anyone else from the younger generation, they would have already died by now, unable to withstand it.

"There are still fifteen thunderbolts to go before the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is over," Chu Yue Ling spoke up, and without realizing it, she too became a bit nervous, her bright eyes unwaveringly watching Gu Chen.

"Fifteen more?!" Princess Xidie exclaimed in shock. Seeing Gu Chen's battered state, she couldn't bear it, saying, "No, I must find a way to help him. I can't let him perish like this!"

"Don't act rashly!" Taoxu Road's Holy Girl, Chu Yue Ling, upon hearing this, her expression for the first time turned somewhat serious. She looked at Princess Xidie and said, "His condition is already at its limit. If you make any move, it will certainly cause interference for him. At that time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is too terrifying. Whoever faces it is destined for death. By then, not only will you have harmed him, you will have done the same to yourself."

"But... but I can't just watch Gu Bai die. He is my savior..." Princess Xidie lightly bit her cherry lips, her face full of worry. She did not want anything to happen to Gu Chen.

"As it stands, the only thing we can do to help him is to do nothing here so as to not distract him. That is the greatest help we can provide him," Chu Yue Ling said softly.

Upon hearing these words, Princess Xidie was anxious, but she had no choice but to wait helplessly by his side.

She knew that with Chu Yue Ling's wisdom, she naturally understood more than herself. Princess Xidie had simply been too anxious just now.

Her mind was pure, with only one goal in mind—to save Gu Chen.

At this moment, in the very center of the celestial tribulation, Gu Chen's expression also became extremely solemn, just as Taoxu Road's Holy Girl, Chu Yue Ling, had said; he was indeed nearing his limit.

Gu Chen did not understand what the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was; he only knew that he was currently facing a crisis that could lead to his demise.

"It seems that to get through the heavenly tribulation with my own strength, I really can't afford to hold back too much," Gu Chen looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, the sixty-seventh thunderbolt descended, its power unlike any before, its terrifying momentum, at a preliminary assessment, at least ten times stronger than before—possibly even more!

"This really wants to kill me," Gu Chen said resolutely, tension marking his entire body.

Taoxu Road's Holy Girl, Chu Yue Ling, and Princess Xidie both changed complexion instantly, unable to maintain their calm anymore.

"This is bad! Such power in this lightning tribulation is almost equivalent to that of the Union Realm. Gu Bai will die!" Princess Xidie became truly panicked, disregarding everything, she wanted to rush forward and intervene.

Taoxu Road's Holy Girl, Chu Yue Ling, could no longer remain as indifferent as before. Subtly, she began to gather her vital energy, intending to use a sacred instrument to help Gu Chen.

It was evident, both women were genuinely anxious and couldn't bear to watch Gu Chen die before their eyes.

However, the next moment, both women's actions came to an abrupt halt.

Because they saw, in the distant skies above, around Gu Chen's body, there was an incredibly intense divine light blooming, heavenly light flowing around him, accompanied by pristine light rain; it seemed as though his entire being was about to ascend.

A mysterious and boundless space, with endless dimness and thousands of fantastic visions flickering, like an immortal domain, appeared on the surface of Gu Chen's body, enveloping him entirely within it.

It was the Unique Holy Domain!

Under the light of the Unique Holy Domain, Gu Chen's body shone at every pore, with 366 specific points manifesting spirit shadows in meditation, bestowing power upon him!

At the same time, the inner world within his body was also surging with boundless power. At this moment, Gu Chen's strength once again reached its pinnacle.

An incomparable aura spread across heaven and earth, unobstructed even by the divine might of the lightning tribulation. This fluctuation seemed to shake the entire cosmos and the Eight Desolations, as if an ancient war god had awakened, ready to emerge in the world and fight to the utmost!

Enveloped by the Unique Holy Domain, Gu Chen shone brightly to the extreme. His hair also fluttered gently with the wind, various auras entwined around him, and endless divine light swirled over his body; he looked like a heavenly deity descending to the mortal realm.

At this moment, Taoxu Road's Holy Girl, Chu Yue Ling, was also deeply shocked. Like an ethereal fairy from the moon palace, she, who was usually cold and detached, for the first time seemed to have been "cast down" to the mortal world, she showed a humanized expression. Her bright eyes fixed on Gu Chen, as if frozen in place, she remained silent for a long time.

As for Princess Xidie from the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, watching the awe-inspiring Gu Chen, who was formidable as if a god had descended to earth, her delicate eyelashes trembled slightly. Her eyes were filled with deep fascination as she stared intently at Gu Chen, unable to shift her gaze, her flawless face caught up in the moment, unable to extricate herself.
