Chapter 1916: Chapter 1916: The Terrifying Heavenly Tribulation!
"Who could have imagined this is a Martial Artist’s first time Crossing a Tribulation?"
Ye Wutian’s heart was pounding in shock.
The descent of a Heavenly Tribulation happens because a Martial Artist’s power has already Transcended, so Heaven sends down a Tribulation to punish them.
The strength of each person’s Heavenly Tribulation is different.
It corresponds to each person’s level of "Evil" talent.
The more of a genius one is, the more likely they are to die under the Heavenly Tribulation.
"If I had known, I should’ve stopped Little Junior Brother."
Ye Wutian felt a bit vexed.
No matter what, they should have prepared for a period of time before Crossing the Tribulation.
Of course, it was already too late to stop him now.
"Little Junior Brother, you’ve got to hold on, otherwise Master might take my life."
Ye Wutian clenched his fists as he spoke.
"Ye Wutian, haven’t you gone through a Heavenly Tribulation yourself? Little Junior Brother just took the Tribulation Summoning Pill, and you let him Cross the Tribulation?"
Su Yihuan somehow had also arrived near Yan Jia Mountain.
Seeing Qin Chen’s condition over there, Su Yihuan’s face turned icy cold.
She had seen movement over here at Yan Jia Mountain, and since Yan Jia Mountain had always been Ye Wutian’s usual cultivation spot, she rushed over.
She originally thought it was Ye Wutian Crossing a Tribulation, but unexpectedly, it was Qin Chen!
Ye Wutian said, "I regret it too."
"You were too careless."
Su Yihuan also knew that saying anything more now was useless. She turned her gaze toward Qin Chen, extremely worried.
The two of them, who usually loved to joke around, were both watching Qin Chen anxiously at this moment.
For Qin Chen, this was definitely a great calamity.
"Chi la!"
A surge of Thunder Force streaked across the sky like Lightning.
"It’s about to fall."
Ye Wutian’s mood tightened, and Su Yihuan’s brows knitted together.
This was the most helpless part of Crossing a Tribulation: no matter how worried you are, you can’t help, or you’ll only make things worse.
Qin Chen took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. "Come!"
"Boom!!!"
An incomparably terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, as if it would destroy heaven and earth, came crashing down savagely toward Qin Chen.
"How is this possible? Even if he’s a Body Refining Martial Artist, this is only his first Tribulation Transformation. How can the Heavenly Tribulation be this strong?!"
The terrifying Tribulation aura made Su Yihuan’s face change drastically.
"Little Junior Brother will definitely make it."
Ye Wutian’s face also changed, his regret growing stronger in his heart. His fingers dug into the flesh beneath his nails as he stared deathly fixed at Qin Chen.
"Boom!"
The endless Heavenly Tribulation drowned Qin Chen’s body.
The ground trembled violently.
With Qin Chen at the center, everything within a radius of ten miles collapsed, simply annihilating heaven and earth.
"Little Junior Brother!"
By instinct Su Yihuan was about to rush over, but Ye Wutian grabbed her. "It’s not completely over yet, we can’t go. If you do that, you’ll harm him."
The Thunder Force in the sky gradually dissipated; only after the Thunder Force completely dispersed could others go check on the Tribulation Transcender.
Ye Wutian and Su Yihuan stood in the distance, fervently hoping that even the slightest movement would come from the center.
But it was a vain hope.
Aside from the lingering aftershocks of the rolling Thunder Force, there was no movement at all from the center.
The two of them tried hard to restrain themselves from overthinking, but reality made it impossible for them to control their thoughts.
"Ye Wutian, do you think Little Junior Brother... is still alive?"
Su Yihuan’s voice trembled slightly.
Although Qin Chen had only just come to the Ninth Palace, before that, the Ninth Palace had only the two of them and Dream Saber Lord.
So when Qin Chen came to the Ninth Palace, the two of them treated Qin Chen as family.
Now, with Qin Chen’s life and death unknown, it was truly heartbreaking.
Ye Wutian didn’t answer Su Yihuan.
Because he had no way to answer!
The Tribulation aura in the sky completely dispersed, but Ye Wutian and Su Yihuan didn’t immediately rush over to check on Qin Chen.
They faltered!
For a time, they didn’t dare face reality.
Everything around them gradually quieted down.
In the end.
Ye Wutian took a step and walked toward the center. "Little Junior Brother!"
He shouted.
Hoping to hear Qin Chen’s response.
But.
Only his own voice echoed all around.
Ye Wutian’s body trembled; on the spot, he wished he could slap himself.
Although he knew regret was useless, at this moment he truly regretted it to the extreme!
He didn’t even dare imagine what he would do if Qin Chen was dead.
Leaving aside how Dream Saber Lord would treat him, how would Su Yihuan treat him?
And even he himself—how was he supposed to face himself?
A thick sense of self-blame filled Ye Wutian’s heart.
He walked to the edge of the huge collapsed pit and looked down.
The pit was filled entirely with rocks; he didn’t see Qin Chen’s figure at all, as if Qin Chen had already been buried beneath countless boulders.
"Little Junior Brother!"
Ye Wutian shouted again.
The echo was intense.
It reverberated inside the collapsed pit.
Once again, there was no response.
Ye Wutian suddenly felt like his soul had flown away. Even facing the strongest enemies had never left him like this, with hollow eyes.
"Shua shua shua!"
Red Immortal Silk unfurled from Su Yihuan’s hand, flinging the boulders in the collapsed pit out one by one.
Su Yihuan remained silent, biting down hard on her teeth, her beautiful eyes fixed on the pit as she searched for Qin Chen’s figure.
After that, Ye Wutian also moved.
He channeled a massive power between his palms, and boulders flew out of the pit one after another.
Before long, the bottom of the pit was about to be exposed.
Yet they still hadn’t seen Qin Chen!
Only when they had cleared out every stone in the pit did Ye Wutian and Su Yihuan finally see Qin Chen’s figure.
At this moment, Qin Chen was covered in blood, lying in the sludge, motionless.
At this instant.
The two of them were struck as if by a Thunder Strike.
"Little Junior Brother!"
Stunned for a long moment, Ye Wutian cried out, rushed down, ran to Qin Chen’s side, and lifted Qin Chen’s body up.
"Little Junior Brother! It’s all my fault! All my fault!"
Ye Wutian’s face was full of pain, while Su Yihuan’s beautiful eyes were already wet.
"Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"
All of a sudden, Qin Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the currently bawling Ye Wutian, and spoke.
"Holy crap!"
Ye Wutian was startled.
By reflex he directly dropped Qin Chen from his hands.
"Thud."
Qin Chen’s body fell back into the sludge, mud splattering all over his face.
"Ye Wutian! What are you doing!"
Su Yihuan’s beautiful eyes were full of joy, even as she glared angrily at Ye Wutian.
Only then did Ye Wutian come back to his senses. He hurriedly propped Qin Chen up again, looking at Qin Chen with the same joy. "Little Junior Brother, you scared me to death!"
"Good thing you didn’t die, otherwise what would I do!"
Qin Chen’s brows furrowed at once; those words sounded a bit off.
"Many thanks for Senior Brother’s Tribulation Summoning Pill, allowing my Physical Body to Breakthrough."
Qin Chen was clearly badly injured.
But.
He had succeeded!
"Boom!"
An extremely powerful wave swept out from his Physical Body, making the entire pit tremble as the ground shook violently.
From this moment on, his Physical Body Cultivation had taken the lead in stepping into the Tribulation Transformation Realm!
Ye Wutian’s pupils shrank. "This... this is a Heavenly Dao Body?!"
