STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 847: Chapter 847 Ascension

Atop Tribulation Passing Peak.

A massive whirlwind was gathering above the mountain peak, appearing as though it might crush down at any moment. Lightning bolts, blue and purple, darted within the clouds, portraying the spectacle of an impending doomsday.

Not far from the peak, within and without Chang’an City, countless people witnessed the scene unfolding on Tribulation Passing Peak.

But no one could see Wang Chen, who was seated there.

Wang Chen, dressed in a white robe, looked up at the firmament where thunder flashed, his heart as calm as still water.

Ascension was imminent, yet he was extraordinarily composed.

This was because three years ago, Wang Chen had survived a Heavenly Tribulation, and now, facing the heavenly ordeal once more, he had experience.

Most importantly, his strength and cultivation level were now far more formidable than they had been three years ago!

But Wang Chen did not harbor any arrogance, for he was well aware that this Heavenly Tribulation was at least ten times more severe than the one before.

Bring it on!

Wang Chen’s gaze intensified as he raised his hand and cast out an ancient bronze-colored metal umbrella.

Crack!

Almost at the same moment, a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket plummeted from the sky, striking right above Wang Chen’s head.

The result? It was precisely blocked by the bronze umbrella!

Since the thunder carried overwhelming power, this magical treasure managed to hold out for only a few breaths before it melted into a shower of molten bronze.

Immediately after, one after another, even more powerful bolts of lightning continued to slam down.

The Heavenly Tribulation Wang Chen faced showed its ferocious fangs right from the start.

It was as if this world wanted to vent all the grievance that had accumulated because of him over the years, seizing the opportunity to explosively release it.

It was determined not to let Wang Chen pass easily!

Prepared for such a situation, Wang Chen, without any fuss, drew out one magical treasure after another from the Sumeru Ring to fend off the heavenly lightning.

Most of these treasures originated from the secret vault of Green Cloud Palace, while others were offerings obtained over the years from Taiji Palace.

After obtaining them, Wang Chen infused them with the essence of high-tier Fierce Beasts to restore their power and then slightly refined them. Now, they were all being used as shields to withstand the Tribulation.

It must be said that such “wasteful” behavior was extraordinarily extravagant.

Every magical treasure had its own history, some dating back thousands of years. If they could be taken back to the Haotian Realm and their full potential restored, their value would be immeasurable.

But for Wang Chen, nothing was more important than surviving the Heavenly Tribulation!

The barrage of lightning seemed endless, and with the passage of time, the strikes became denser, almost wholly enveloping the mountain peak, placing increasing pressure on Wang Chen, who was atop it.

He had no choice but to consecrate multiple magical treasures at once to defend himself.

However many treasures were stored in the Sumeru Ring, they couldn’t be consumed endlessly. After all, Wang Chen had prepared only about a hundred or so of them.

He had to consume more of his internal True Qi to enhance the defenses of his magical treasures.

Despite this, after persisting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the magical treasures stored in the Sumeru Ring were completely depleted!

But this steep price paid resulted in the partial dissipation of the tribulation clouds.

The thunder continued to strike, but both its strength and frequency had decreased to varying degrees.

Not only that, but Wang Chen also felt that with each successive strike of lightning, the heavens and earth were being split open, creating a slim gap.

The path to Ascension had appeared!

However, this thin sliver of space was barely enough for a bug to pass through, let alone for Wang Chen to ascend through.

He instantly stood up and, looking up at the firmament, he consecrated his last magical treasure.

A Flying Sword!

The sword burst forth like a rainbow, piercing the sky. In an instant, it entered the tribulation clouds and dispersed several brewing bolts of lightning.

This action enraged the heavens themselves, and the clouds that had begun to disperse abruptly surged. The thunderstorm intensified, shattering the Flying Sword in an instant and then attacking downwards towards Wang Chen.

Moreover, the lightning took on a purple-red hue, vastly different from before, containing an even more terrifying power.

Wang Chen knew that the hardest test had arrived!

“Hey!”

He exhaled and raised his voice as he threw his fist to meet the descending heavenly thunder.

That punch, pooling together a hundred percent of his strength, directly shattered the heavenly thunder.

Yet, the scattered lightning still relentlessly cascaded down, swallowing Wang Chen whole.

Wang Chen’s body quaked, but he stoically endured.

Despite having shattered ninety-nine percent of its power, the sensation of the tribulation lightning cleansing his body was far from bearable; every inch of his muscles and bones suffered a tremendous ordeal as powerful currents coursed through him.

He could remain steadfast only because of his formidable will and the physique forged by the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method!

The problem was, such tribulation lightning was not a solitary occurrence.

Wang Chen struck towards the heavens fist after fist, repeatedly.

Each punch drained a significant amount of his Innate True Qi, quickly depleting the reserves within his Dantian.

Wang Chen had no choice but to burn his Qi-Blood value to maintain his perseverance.

He finally understood why, throughout the ages, no one had managed to ascend to the Upper Realm, including those cultivators who had descended from it.

This Foggy Mountain Realm was truly a cultivator’s grave!

And at this juncture, there was no possibility for Wang Chen to retreat.

His feet were deeply entrenched in the solid rock, unwaveringly standing at the summit of Tribulation Passing Peak, continuing to throw punches at the thunderbolts plummeting towards him.

At the same time, he had to endure the baptism of the tribulation lightning!

Even with Wang Chen’s indomitable will, he gradually reached his limit.

There was no sign of the heavenly thunder ceasing, yet the expansion of the ascension passage was unbearably slow, offering hope and at the same time breeding despair.

Eventually, Wang Chen lost count of how many bolts of lightning he had shattered.

He became numb all over.

But he clenched his teeth and held on desperately, refusing to bow or to admit defeat!

At this very moment, within Chang’an City, countless citizens stood in the streets, on the roofs of buildings, and atop houses, staring in dumbstruck awe at the incredible sight atop Tribulation Passing Peak.

Everyone was clueless about what was happening, feeling panic and unease.

Suddenly, a voice rang out clear and distinct in everyone’s ears, “That is the Great Supreme Holy Master, Immortal Master Wang, undergoing his tribulation!”

The Great Supreme Holy Master facing tribulation?

A collective shiver passed through the crowd, and bursts of exclamations erupted.

Right then, a white-haired old man suddenly knelt down and prayed, “May the Holy Master pass the heavenly tribulation!”

Seeing this, others followed suit and knelt down to pray.

“May the Holy Master pass the heavenly tribulation!”

“Pass the heavenly tribulation!”

At first, there were isolated shouts, but they grew into hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands.

The will of the people surged, and the Qi of Humanity roiled!

Over the years, Wang Chen had not only built Bear City and Taiji Palace but had also implemented benevolent policies that touched countless common people.

Many households secretly worshiped the Longevity Tablet of Wang Chen, regarding him as a living deity.

This immeasurable Qi of Humanity, at this moment, once again coalesced into an unprecedented torrent.

It rushed towards Tribulation Passing Peak!

Wang Chen, nearly at his breaking point, suddenly felt the pressure lighten, as a rejuvenating power flowed into his body.

In an instant, he felt blessedly inspired, and with a sudden punch, he struck at the heavens.

“Open!”

With both fists unleashed, a passage piercing heaven and earth was blasted open in a flash.

Wang Chen’s form flickered, instantly engulfed by the boundless tribulation lightning, disappearing from sight!
