The heavenly tribulation, a phenomenon only seen in the previous era, has reappeared in the mortal world—and with such ferocity that even the gods shudder in terror!
No one expected Huang to act so decisively, so ruthlessly, even at the cost of his own life, summoning the heavenly tribulation to confront several mighty Celestial Deities.
**”BOOM!”**
The thunder roared, each strike more devastating than the last. The blinding arcs of lightning, thicker than mountains, crashed down, shattering peaks and tearing the void apart.
Never had anyone witnessed such a terrifying tribulation. Was there even a path to survival? This was annihilation—utter and complete!
There was no hope. Under normal circumstances, even a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Flame Realm would be powerless to resist. Even ascending to the True God Domain mid-tribulation would be futile.
**”Ahhh—!”** Ma Yuan screamed, his face twisted in despair. The overwhelming lightning carried unimaginable curses.
A sinister, liquid-like force enveloped him, turning his body ashen. A putrid stench oozed from within, filling the air.
His flesh rotted away, his legs below the knees already reduced to bone. Black blood oozed, a sight too gruesome to bear.
**”CRACK!”**
A massive bolt struck, exploding his kneecaps. His lower legs shattered into dust, vanishing into nothingness.
The curse ravaged flesh, blood, and bone!
**”You vile beast!”** Ma Yuan roared, lunging at Shi Hao, desperate to kill him before his own demise.
**”BOOM!”**
But Shi Hao stood at the heart of the tribulation, where the curses surged like volcanic eruptions, endless and relentless.
The moment Ma Yuan approached, a bolt struck his skull, splattering blood, tearing off his scalp, and setting his hair ablaze!
The curse, mingled with lightning, seared into him like molten iron on snow. Flesh sloughed off, his skull blackened, and corpse spots spread.
Ma Yuan shrieked as he was blasted away.
The curse was too severe—a lethal threat even to Celestial Deities!
**”Old man, you’re already failing? And this is just the beginning!”** Shi Hao taunted, though he was no better off.
Covered in blood, his body charred and cracked, he had suffered grievous wounds from the first few strikes.
This tribulation was beyond imagination—so brutal it defied reason. Even in the ancient era when heavenly tribulations existed, none had seen such devastation at this cultivation level.
This was extinction. No mercy.
The moment this tribulation appeared, it meant annihilation—the heavens themselves crushing geniuses beneath the storm.
The lightning was unnatural, its colors horrifying. Golden, silver, and purple bolts gave way to crimson flashes and corpse-like streaks, splitting the sky.
**”BOOM!”**
A five-colored bolt struck Ma Yuan’s head—a true **”Five Thunders Strike the Crown”** calamity.
**”AHHH—!”** Ma Yuan howled as the curse gnawed at his skull, rotting it from within.
**”CRACK!”**
A bloody bolt tore open his skull, smoke rising, blood spraying—a ghastly sight.
Those who witnessed it trembled, their skin crawling. A Celestial Deity, suffering such torment!
The scene was chilling, sending shivers down their spines.
**”Run!”** Ma Yuan tried to flee, terrified. The curse had already ravaged him, and his old wounds flared anew.
But escape was impossible.
In the distance, two primordial Chaos Mosquitoes, though outside the tribulation, had been driven mad by its aura.
Their boundless power warped space, sealing the area.
The other Celestial Deities had already tried to flee, but ambushes awaited.
A Qiu Dragon tore through the void—only for a bloody flash to sever half its body.
A Chaos Mosquito had struck, its proboscis slicing through the dragon’s tail, draining half its essence in one sip.
Even a Celestial Deity couldn’t regenerate instantly. In this cursed land, weakness meant doom.
**”NO—!”** The Qiu Dragon wailed, forced back into the lightning.
The curse gnawed at it, flesh cracking and peeling like dried bark.
White bones emerged as half its body withered away.
A Celestial Deity, reduced to such misery!
**”What a waste! My heart bleeds—that’s dragon meat! Celestial-grade!”** Shi Hao lamented, despite his own battered state.
The Qiu Dragon trembled with rage. A mere Divine Flame Realm ant dared covet its flesh?
But it was helpless. The tribulation’s curses had ignited the latent corruption within them all.
**”This isn’t like Ma Yuan’s useless fat—this is Qiu Dragon meat!”** Shi Hao groaned.
Ma Yuan nearly choked on his fury.
At this moment, they all wished for death.
**”You wretched brat, may you die horribly!”** the Qiu Dragon snarled.
**”Fellow Daoist, let’s escape! Dying like this is too humiliating!”** Ma Yuan urged.
But then—a sight froze them in terror.
A Dragon Sparrow tried to flee, its Celestial wings slicing the sky—only for a palm-sized mosquito to pierce its body.
**”AHHH—!”**
The Dragon Sparrow withered instantly, all essence drained.
It forced the mosquito out but collapsed back into the lightning, struck by a bolt.
The curse consumed it.
**”CRACK!”**
Its body split from the brow, flesh melting into pus, leaving only rotting bones.
A gray-white divine bird—its soul—emerged from the skull, darkening under the lightning.
**”POP!”**
Its spirit shattered.
A Celestial Deity had fallen!
The weakest among them, the Dragon Sparrow, was the first to perish.
**”Heavens! A Celestial Deity, reduced to ashes—all because of one boy!”**
**”Yet Huang still lives! He’s still enduring!”**
People trembled. A supreme being, untouchable, had died—because of a mere youth!
It was like a myth.
**”NOOO! My Dragon Sparrow meat! Such a waste!”** Shi Hao wailed, even as his bones showed through his tattered flesh.
**”You deserve to be struck dead, you little bastard!”** a Celestial Deity roared.
**”Hah! I’ll outlive you all, you old turtles!”** Shi Hao shot back, gritting through the pain.
Even he sensed something amiss—the curse was seeping into him.
But unlike the natives, his body hadn’t harbored such corruption before. The first invasion wouldn’t kill him instantly.
**”CRACK!”**
Blood-red lightning webbed the sky, smashing Shi Hao to the ground. His bones cracked under the force.
The Celestial Deities fared no better.
**”We can’t die like this! We must escape!”** the Qiu Dragon growled.
Beside it, a Pi Xiu and a golden ancient ape—elite Celestial Deities—joined the desperate charge.
**”Damn it! Is that mosquito regaining its mind? It’s attacking again!”** the ape bellowed.
Despite its golden scales, the mosquito’s proboscis pierced through, drawing blood.
**”Monkey! Don’t you dare run! Leave that brain of yours behind—it’s my food!”** Shi Hao yelled.
**”@#￥%&…!”** The ape nearly exploded with rage.
**”Help me, brothers!”** Ma Yuan screamed.
He had tried to slip away during the chaos but was impaled by another mosquito, losing half his body.
When he staggered back, the lightning and curse finished him.
Corpse spots spread as he disintegrated.
**”Old Ma! Let’s duel!”** Shi Hao declared, descending dramatically.
**”Duel my @#￥%…!”** Ma Yuan cursed, wishing he could flay the boy alive.
As Shi Hao closed in, the tribulation’s center followed, hastening Ma Yuan’s doom.
**”NO—!”** Ma Yuan wailed, filled with regret. Why had he provoked this calamity?
The other Celestial Deities ignored him, too busy saving themselves.
**”POP!”**
His skeleton collapsed, his soul flickering out.
**”Old Ma, let me send you off!”** Shi Hao landed, lightning and curse in tow, and stomped down.
**”CRUNCH.”**
Ma Yuan’s skull shattered, his spirit extinguished.
**Celestial Deity Ma Yuan—annihilated!**
