Chapter 378: Chapter 379: Lamp Oil Exhausted? (4th Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

Chu Fengmian’s words were laced with chilling intent, unreservedly unveiled.

He had indeed harbored a killing intent. Chu Fengmian gave people only one chance.

Since they were not prepared to submit, Chu Fengmian would show no more mercy.

"Do you want to kill us? Boy, do you really think our royal family of the Qinhuang kingdom could stand for a thousand years without any trump cards?"

Saint Qin Mang looked at Chu Fengmian and scoffed.

"I concede that your power is formidable, even more terrifying than Zhao Wudi. Indeed, you’re a once-in-a-millennium talent, but you are too arrogant! Your arrogance will lead to your downfall today!"

Saint Qin Mang shouted angrily.

"Let’s act together and awaken the divine power of the earth veins for our use! Today, even if it takes all we have, we will kill him!"

"Alright!"

Five peak saints suddenly launched their attack, awakening the power of the earth veins, and that power began to bless their bodies.

These five, all with royal blood, could awaken the earth veins beneath the Qinhuang kingdom. Now, augmented with that power.

Their current strength was not the least inferior to Emperor Qinhuang at his peak.

"Arrogant youngster, accept your death!"

Feeling their power surge, the five peak saints attacked simultaneously.

Waves of Spiritual Power erupted, shaking the very space around them to the brink of fragmentation.

Their strength was infinitely close to the realm of life and death, and it was likely that after a while, they would attract the attention of heavenly tribulations and trigger the great life and death catastrophe.

"Supreme Overlord of Heaven and Earth!"

Ancestor Wang Feng took the lead, unleashing his supreme tyrant’s presence in full force.

He practiced the supreme tyranny, and now the earth vein power boosted his confidence, manifesting the power of his absolute tyranny.

To his eyes, he was like an existence akin to a supreme overlord.

This technique, once employed, seemed to make the entire space submit. Its power was unparalleled and terrifying to the extreme, comparable to the Tribulation Lightning once cast by Emperor Qinhuang.

With the earth veins added to their power, these people possessed something akin to a "minor Divine Veins."

Although it was far from the true Divine Veins’ miraculous nature, with their endless Spiritual Power, they could still use the earth veins’ power for their techniques, wielding strength several times greater than usual.

Such strength, even the pinnacle of saints, once augmented with the power of the earth veins, would unleash overwhelming might.

This overwhelming force could overpower many peak saints; even Zhao Wudi, wary of the royal family’s earth vein power, dared not trouble the royals before stepping into the realm of life and death.

Ancestor Wang Feng’s move was also meant to be fatal, aiming to obliterate Chu Fengmian with a single blow.

But Chu Fengmian’s eyes had long penetrated Ancestor Wang Feng’s technique. He too struck with a palm, and their powers clashed, faintly equal.

Chu Fengmian and Ancestor Wang Feng each took a step back, but a smug smile appeared on Ancestor Wang Feng’s face.

"Indeed, no matter how powerful this kid might be, his strength still falls within the realm of Divine Power. The strength of the earth veins we are now blessed with is already not far from his. If we act together now, we can suppress him and strike him down alive!"

Ancestor Wang Feng laughed heartily.

The remaining four peak saints also moved simultaneously.

In an instant, the entire palace was flooded with numerous martial techniques, barrage after barrage directed at Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian could only manage to parry tirelessly, seemingly unable to counterattack, as if he was being thoroughly suppressed.

"Kid, now you know what it feels like to be suppressed! Today, you shall surely die!"

Elder Xia Zu, mad with rage, bellowed furiously, finally able to unleash the pent-up anger he had been harboring.

In the blink of an eye, he exploded with dozens of martial techniques simultaneously.

Bolstered by the power of the earth veins, the spiritual power he expended in executing his martial techniques was but a fraction of the usual cost, so he had no worries about running out of spiritual power.

An endless barrage of martial techniques came crashing down towards Chu Fengmian.

And those saints standing by, seeing Chu Fengmian being suppressed, showed excitement on their faces as they struck out in unison.

Their power, if unleashed singly, wouldn’t even come close to injuring Chu Fengmian.

But now, with Chu Fengmian held in check, inevitable gaps in his defense would appear, making their martial techniques extremely lethal.

Kicking someone when they’re down.

Beating a dog in the water.

These saints, one by one, all sought to kill Chu Fengmian, so when it came time to divide Chu Fengmian’s fortune, they could also share a piece of the pie.

Chu Fengmian kept up his defenses against the countless martial techniques as best as he could, appearing slightly at a disadvantage, yet his Divine Sense was always keenly aware of every movement around him.

Suddenly, above the imperial city, an immense cloud of tribulation lightning appeared out of nowhere.

This cloud of tribulation lightning was actually two to three times larger than that of Emperor Qinhuang’s.

The life-and-death tribulation of these five peak saints had finally arrived.

Their full-powered strikes had at last triggered the life-and-death tribulation.

This was precisely what Chu Fengmian had been waiting for.

A hint of a smile crept onto Chu Fengmian’s lips as he looked at the five calmly and said,

"The life-and-death tribulation has emerged."

"So what? Kid, today the five of us will kill you, even if it costs us our lives!" replied Elder Xia Zu, looking at Chu Fengmian with disdain and a hint of mockery in his voice.

He thought Chu Fengmian was clutching at tribulation lightning as a last straw for survival.

The descent of the life-and-death tribulation was not an immediate matter, and within this time frame, he was confident he could utterly destroy Chu Fengmian.

"Kid, don’t think the life-and-death tribulation will save you; today you are doomed! Don’t think we have no way to kill you! You’re already running on fumes! Once we join forces again, your death is certain!"

Ancestor Qin Mang’s voice rose, seething with anger. They had triggered the life-and-death tribulation because of Chu Fengmian.

Today, they were determined to drag Chu Fengmian down with them.

"Is that so? Running on fumes?"

Hearing Ancestor Qin Mang’s words, Chu Fengmian’s eyes suddenly sparkled with amusement, and in an instant, the spiritual power in his body, which had seemed nearly exhausted, surged, and he returned to his prime condition.

Chu Fengmian had Divine Veins and never worried about running out of spiritual power.

He had intentionally suppressed most of his spiritual power just now, feigning a state of depletion, all to provoke these five peak saints into going all out and thus bringing upon the life-and-death tribulation.

The lives of these five were insignificant to Chu Fengmian. What he valued was the tribulation lightning itself.

Or, to be precise, the mystical power at the heart of the tribulation clouds.
