Chapter 378: Chapter 376: The Fearsome Celestial Tribulation Destroys the Fiendish Demon, Celestial Demon True Body Reveals Its Might (Part 2)

To diminish the power of the Celestial Tribulation, one must possess Heavenly Dao Merit.

Heavenly Dao Merit is not something that can be obtained through ordinary acts of kindness and accumulating virtue.

Under the Heavenly Dao, myriad beings exist, and humans are not the only living creatures. If one were to only perform good deeds within the human race, it would ultimately be minor goodness and would naturally lack the possibility of achieving the so-called Heavenly Dao Merit.

Only by benefitting the development of the Heavenly Dao, or maintaining its stability, can one truly obtain Heavenly Dao Merit and protect oneself.

But achieving this is easier said than done.

The middle-aged monk from the Ancient Buddha Sect said, “Blood Transformation Demon has slaughtered living creatures, harming the Heavenly Dao. The descent of Celestial Punishment today is proof of this. If everyone can slay the Blood Transformation Demon, you may hope to obtain Heavenly Dao Merit, which would be beneficial for future cultivation.”

“Is Master Xuanhui’s statement true?”

Someone was pleased, and Monk Xuanhui nodded.

“A monk doesn’t speak falsely; these words are naturally true.”

Once these words were spoken.

The others looked at Blood Transformation Ancestor, who was in the midst of the Tribulation, with a gleam in their eyes.

They didn’t doubt the truth of Monk Xuanhui’s words.

Because the Ancient Buddha Sect itself is a top Righteous Sect, and its conduct is well-regarded by the people. Therefore, what Monk Xuanhui said must not have any issues.

At this moment.

Many cultivators did not hope for Blood Transformation Ancestor to perish under Celestial Punishment; rather, they hoped he would survive the Celestial Tribulation so they themselves could kill him later.

Only in this way.

Could they earn merit and rewards themselves.

No matter how small the obtained merit, it would surely be of great help.

…

At this time.

Within the Celestial Tribulation.

Blood Transformation Ancestor’s demonic flames soared to the sky, and the power of the Celestial Demon True Technique erupted within his body. Each punch and palm carried terrifying power, shattering the void and obliterating each Celestial Tribulation.

And some of the obliterated Celestial Tribulation power merged into his physical body, gradually transforming his power of the Celestial Demon True Technique.

When the transformation is complete, it will be the moment for Transcendence and Tribulation Crossing.

“What about Celestial Punishment? Today, no one can stop the Ancestor’s Tribulation Crossing!”

Blood Transformation Ancestor laughed loudly, the power of the Celestial Demon True Technique surging, giving him an aura of devouring heaven and earth.

If he had cultivated the Celestial Demon True Technique before, not to mention facing Celestial Punishment comparable to an Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation, even a regular Seventy-Nine Celestial Tribulation wouldn’t have much chance of success in Tribulation Crossing.

But now it’s different.

Cultivating the Celestial Demon True Technique, Blood Transformation Ancestor’s strength has skyrocketed, and even facing such Celestial Tribulation power, he remains entirely unafraid.

Not long after.

Tribulation clouds surged once again, the original power of the Celestial Tribulation swelling so much that Blood Transformation Ancestor’s defiant expression changed slightly, his eyes revealing traces of shock and a faint, untraceable fighting spirit.

“Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation!”

“Who would have thought that I, the Ancestor, would one day face the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation!”

“Good, good, good. This is truly my era to achieve the Dao, and no one in the world can stop me!”

As Blood Transformation Ancestor’s voice fell, the sky shook violently, and terrible Thunder Power crashed down, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

At this moment.

Under the impact of Celestial Punishment, the power of the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation had completely left its level, almost reaching the level of the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation.

Such terrifying Celestial Tribulation power made even Blood Transformation Ancestor change his expression.

Yet.

Blood Transformation Ancestor was not afraid.

His ability to summon the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation showed the depth of his current foundation. As long as he could successfully cross the Tribulation, he would certainly have the potential to break through to the Mahayana Stage in the future.

It’s known.

Many Mahayana Stage powerhouses, when facing the Middle Celestial Tribulation, do not necessarily evoke the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation.

On the other side.

The powerhouses watching Blood Transformation Ancestor’s Tribulation Crossing also had their expressions change drastically upon seeing the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation appear.

Clearly.

The appearance of the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation completely exceeded their expectations.

No one imagined that Blood Transformation Ancestor had the ability to summon the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation.

However.

Beneath the shock, some cultivators were somewhat relieved.

Since Blood Transformation Ancestor could summon the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation, his strength must be terrifying. If allowed to successfully and safely cross the Tribulation, it might be beyond their ability to deal with him.

But now, with Celestial Punishment descending, the power of the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation had directly reached a level comparable to the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation.

In this way.

The chances of Blood Transformation Ancestor successfully Crossing the Tribulation were slim.

At this moment.

The pitch-black Celestial Tribulation, carrying an aura of destruction, crashed down, dispersing the Demonic Qi. For the first time, Blood Transformation Ancestor, who was unscathed in the Celestial Tribulation, was wounded.

Such terrifying power, even the power of the Celestial Demon True Technique could not fully resist.

Instantly.

Blood Transformation Ancestor roared, the overwhelming Demonic Qi gathered on his body, allowing him to gradually leave his human form, transforming into a terrifying Celestial Demon with a fearsome face, enveloped in black bone armor, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

“What does Celestial Punishment matter? Who can withstand my Celestial Demon True Body!”

Blood Transformation Ancestor’s fists pounded out, pushing the power of his Celestial Demon True Body to its limits. Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, two earth-destroying powers clashed, unleashing extremely terrifying waves.

Boom!

The void shattered and crumbled.

The Ancient Sea Dynasty’s capital beneath Blood Transformation Ancestor’s feet instantly turned to ash.

Many cultivators watching the Tribulation Crossing hurriedly retreated, fearing they would be caught up in this power.

However.

Even though the Celestial Demon True Body was powerful, it couldn’t completely withstand the power of the Celestial Tribulation. Only seeing the bone armor shatter, Blood Transformation Ancestor was besieged by the raging Tribulation.

Five Thunders Zhenren’s eyes gleamed coldly: “Blood Transformation Ancestor’s foundation is indeed terrifying, but unfortunately, he attracted Celestial Punishment. Without its appearance, he would have certainly broken through the Tribulation Stage with the Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation.”

Upon hearing this.

The other cultivators did not counter.

Now, anyone could see that Blood Transformation Ancestor’s strength was indeed unparalleled at the same level; a normal Eight-Nine Celestial Tribulation would certainly have been unable to do anything to him.

Barring unforeseen circumstances.

Blood Transformation Ancestor would surely succeed in the Tribulation Crossing.

But unfortunately.

Now that Celestial Punishment has appeared.

Blood Transformation Ancestor was destined to fail at the last moment.

As people conversed, the Celestial Tribulation was drawing to a close, and even with Blood Transformation Ancestor’s power, the Thunder Power, akin to the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation, was something he could not fully resist.

His Celestial Demon True Body was broken.

A large amount of Demon Blood spilled on the ground.

Upon observing Blood Transformation Ancestor’s current state, he was already in a miserable situation.

“To claim the Ancestor’s life, you’re not qualified!”

Blood Transformation Ancestor gritted his teeth, directly summoning the Soul Refining Banner. A small flag, the size of a palm, quickly expanded to several meters, and terrifying black mist surged out from the Soul Refining Banner, with a dreadful figure taking shape within.

“Roar!”

The terrifying roar made everyone’s expression change drastically.

“Ghost Emperor!”

“Blood Transformation Demon has actually cultivated a Ghost Emperor!”

No one expected Blood Transformation Ancestor to have such a card up his sleeve, harboring a ghost of Ghost Emperor level—the kind of existence capable of rivaling Tribulation Stage experts.

Moreover.

This Ghost Emperor’s aura was terrifying, not merely at the entry level.

At this moment.

Blood Transformation Ancestor wielded the Soul Refining Banner, manipulating the Ghost Emperor to confront the Celestial Tribulation. Even though Thunder Power has a great restraining effect on ghosts, the Ghost Emperor he commanded was not the typical entry-level existence.

After massacring numerous beings, this Ghost Emperor had reached the peak of initial Ghost Emperor level, nearly stepping into the intermediate Ghost Emperor level.

As a result.

Even with the Celestial Tribulation’s strength, it couldn’t completely obliterate the Ghost Emperor.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The terrifying thunder crashed down, making the Ghost Emperor roar continuously. On one side, there was Celestial Punishment, akin to the Ninety-Nine Celestial Tribulation, on the other, a ghost about to enter the intermediate Ghost Emperor level. The confrontation between the two can be imagined.

Ultimately.

As the last Celestial Tribulation descended, the Ghost Emperor let out a sorrowful cry, its enormous body crumbling inch by inch, and the Soul Refining Banner manifested numerous cracks before shattering completely.

At the moment the Soul Refining Banner broke, the dense Tribulation clouds dissipated without a trace, and an aura of terrifying Heavenly Might swept across the world, with Demonic Qi filling the sky, as if heralding the birth of a Demon God.

At this moment.

Blood Transformation Ancestor successfully stepped into the Tribulation Stage.

He glanced at the broken Soul Refining Banner with a trace of pain in his eyes, then shifted his gaze to Five Thunders Zhenren and the others, wearing a sinister smile on his face.

“You’ve watched for so long; now it’s time for you to pay the price!”
