Chapter 724: Chapter 725: The First Calamity of the Nine Domains

Countless dark clouds shrouded the sky above Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian suddenly looked up, acutely aware that these dark clouds were coming for him.

Life and Death Tribulation.

Chu Fengmian had always been able to suppress the Life and Death Tribulation, even with his strength just short of the required level, until the moment all forty-nine threads of Supreme Sword Energy had been devoured and refined by him. Finally, Chu Fengmian’s strength reached the utmost extreme.

Chu Fengmian had now arrived at the limit of Divine Power, unable to hold it back any longer.

As soon as Chu Fengmian had refined all forty-nine threads of Supreme Sword Energy, the Life and Death Tribulation descended upon him directly.

The dark clouds seemed to envelop the entire desert, extending as far as the eye could see, almost never-ending.

Among them, countless Tribulation Lightning streaks were innumerable but far exceeded the number of lightning that had occurred when Chu Fengmian broke through to Divine Power in the Wind Control Realm.

Back when Chu Fengmian advanced from Wind Control Realm to Divine Power, he had triggered the Life and Death Tribulation, a tale frightening to recount.

Only those geniuses the heavens themselves envied in the Nine Domains would attract a Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to Divine Power, but even the most they summoned were ordinary ones.

The kind of Heavenly Tribulation that Chu Fengmian drew upon his breakthrough to Divine Power, the Emperor Thunder Tribulation, had never occurred in the history of the Nine Domains.

At the time, some legendary figures of the Nine Domains, who were super geniuses during their breakthrough to Divine Power, at most triggered the Thousand Lightning Royal Tribulation.

Even Chu Feng, in truth, only achieved this because of his rebirth as a human, with two lifetimes of accumulation.

During his initial breakthrough to Divine Power, Chu Fengmian had managed to attract the most terrifying Emperor Thunder Tribulation, and now that he had truly reached the peak of Divine Power, he was about to face the Life and Death Tribulation.

What kind of Heavenly Tribulation would appear, Chu Fengmian dared not even imagine.

But at present, looking at the Tribulation clouds enveloping the entire desert sky, he could feel that these clouds were many times vaster than those of the Emperor Thunder Tribulation he faced before.

An unprecedented, terrifying Life and Death Tribulation in the annals of the Nine Domains was now descending upon Chu Fengmian.

"I, the foremost person in the Nine Domains, will now pass through a Heavenly Tribulation never before seen in the history of the Nine Domains, and achieve the true status of the premier person of the Nine Domains!"

Chu Fengmian raised his head, his face not showing any panic, but filled with anticipation instead.

Such a heavenly tribulation was the most perfect recognition of his strength.

The more formidable the tribulation, the more benefits there were to be gained after passing through it.

Facing the onslaught of the tribulation, Chu Fengmian even became somewhat impatient; he moved, dashing straight towards the sky.

He didn’t wait for the tribulation; instead, he charged fiercely towards it.

"Boom! Boom!"

In the midst of countless tribulation clouds, claps of thunder suddenly erupted. It seemed the clouds had not expected Chu Fengmian to be utterly fearless, charging right into them.

Countless strikes of Tribulation Lightning fell directly from the clouds, upon closer examination, easily numbering over ten thousand.

This time, Chu Fengmian’s life-and-death tribulation was just a beginning, which led to the descent of the mighty Heavenly Tribulation of Ten Thousand Thunders.

Had anyone else witnessed this scene, they would have gone mad. In the Nine Domains, countless geniuses exhausted all their efforts, hoping to attract the Heavenly Tribulation of Ten Thousand Thunders. Yet now, during Chu Fengmian’s life-and-death tribulation, it was merely a prelude, just the start.

One after another, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, fierce and mighty, merged into one, transforming into a colossal and ferocious tiger that suddenly pounced towards Chu Fengmian.

"Tribulation Lightning can only become my strength!"

Chu Fengmian looked up at the sky. Suddenly, he spoke out and roared, transforming into a true Ancient War Dragon and soaring into the heavens.

His maw opened wide, engulfing the ferocious tiger, formed of countless strands of Tribulation Lightning, in one gulp.

Under this swallow, the tiger that had materialized from the ten thousand bolts of Tribulation Lightning was completely devoured.

Within Chu Fengmian’s body, countless bolts of Tribulation Lightning were churning wildly, attempting to tear his body to shreds.

Yet, this Tribulation Lightning could not harm even a fraction of Chu Fengmian’s body; instead, it was thoroughly subdued. The terrifying bolts of Tribulation Lightning were actually transformed into the thunderous force for Chu Fengmian’s body refinement.

It made the body of the Ancient War Dragon that Chu Fengmian had become look even more toughened.

The life-and-death tribulation that everyone feared was now being used by Chu Fengmian as a method of body refinement.

"So domineering! Who exactly is this character?"

The Xing Xuan, who had been slumbering within Chu Fengmian’s body, suddenly awoke, staring incredulously at this unbelievable scene.

Xing Xuan had traversed the Nine Domains for who knows how long, witnessing countless geniuses, peerless freaks, and even those ultra-rare super geniuses who come along once every many thousands of years, face their life-and-death tribulations.

But none could compare to Chu Fengmian’s spectacle.

This was not so much enduring a tribulation; rather, Chu Fengmian was utilizing the Heavenly Tribulation to refine his body, as a means of tempering his physique.

"The foremost person in the Nine Domains. If this continues, he may truly become the foremost person in the Nine Domains. To think that such an individual has emerged once again."

Xing Xuan looked at Chu Fengmian, as if muttering to himself, seemingly lost in thought.

The once-young Chu Fengmian had sworn to flatten the seven great sects and become the foremost person in the Nine Domains. At that time, Xing Xuan had thought that it was just Chu Fengmian’s naivety and arrogance.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation he now faced was indeed worthy of the title of the foremost person in the Nine Domains, and as long as Chu Fengmian continued to grow, such a title might not be mere empty talk.

"Across ancient and modern times, I am the first!"

Chu Fengmian silently chanted in his mind, and with a boom, all the Tribulation Lightning within his body was devoured, merging into his flesh and blood.

Thunder, in itself, was the best substance for body refining.

Tribulation Lightning was the most quintessential of thunders. Using Tribulation Lightning for body refinement was indeed the finest method in the world.

Yet, there were barely any who could actually accomplish this feat. Regular martial artists would be terrified at the mere sight of the life-and-death tribulation, let alone provoke it.

Surviving it was already difficult; who would dare use it for body refinement? Even if there were any, they would only harness a fraction of it.

To completely assimilate ten thousand bolts of Tribulation Lightning into one’s body for body refinement, like Chu Fengmian had done, was unprecedented throughout the ages in the Nine Domains.
