Chapter 725 - Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind
“Ahhh...”
Those devils, drawn by Chen Fan’s tribulation, let out strange cries when they saw the Jambudvipa Water and fled in terror.
The Jambudvipa Water drowned some of the slow ones. They let out miserable screams and instantly turned into dust.
Even Manifestation realm experts would avoid the Jambudvipa Water as if it were a plague.
Rumor spoke of their might when the world of the ancient gods ended. Jambudvipa Water gushed from the lowest position; ultimately, it reached the sky. Soon, it swallowed the entire universe, reaching the gods’ paradise, and drowning them.
The waves swallowed everything, even the light, shrouding the world in darkness.
Only in the next epoch did the tribulation water recede and the world glowed with new vitality.
The tribulation water would penetrate through space and time to reach the other side. Those undergoing the tribulation simply couldn’t hide.
Currently, Chen Fan was submerged in the Jambudvipa Water.
However, the water couldn’t dissolve his flesh, which emitted a golden luster. Soaked in the tribulation water, his flesh underwent a baptism.
“Heavens, that human’s physique has already surpassed that of those old-timers in the clan. Don’t even think about fighting with brute force. How could such a monster appear among the lowly human race!”
Far away, the demon experts who had escaped the academy’s net were shaking with fear. They simply couldn’t comprehend how a human was safe and sound inside the tribulation water.
This kind of calamity was unheard of for a Heavenly Star realm tribulation, and no martial artist at that level should have been able to endure it.
Yet, here was Chen Fan, defying all logic. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
His mind remained resolute as he furiously refined the vast energy within him.
He had already opened the door to the Heavenly Star realm, and the Jambudvipa Water was only the beginning of his heavenly star tribulation.
Endless flames flew out from the heavenly tribulation’s space-time wormhole.
This kind of flame was bright red like blood. These flames were deep, blood-red, resembling the short-lived epiphyllum flowers. They floated atop the tribulation water, fire and water combining in harmony. [1]
Epiphyllum oxypetalum perished in a flash, but these flames were eternal.
“Ephemeral Epiphyllum Fire!”
The surrounding demons recoiled in terror at the sight of the blood-like flames. Trembling with fear, their eyes widened in horror.
Both the Ephemeral Epiphyllum Fire and the Jambudvipa Water were rare and ominous calamities, symbols of impending disaster.
No one could fathom why such catastrophic forces had appeared during this human's tribulation. Was Chen Fan too monstrous for the heavens to allow his survival?
Suddenly, he stood up, stepping on the tribulation water, surrounded by the flickering bright red Ephemeral Epiphyllum Fire as it entered his meridians, orifices, and even the Heaven Seizing Furnace.
“Hoho, you demons came at the perfect timing. Turn into points for me, all of you!”
While he was undergoing his tribulation, he did not weaken as one might expect. Instead, he grew fiercer, his aura becoming more concentrated, and the quality of his true primeval advancing to a higher level.
Chen Fan strode forth, heading toward these demons.
“Run quickly, that guy is crazier than us demons!”
The demons, paralyzed with fear, watched in horror as Chen Fan, still immersed in his tribulation, dared to launch an attack.
It wasn’t just because of Chen Fan’s terrifyingly powerful aura. They also didn’t want to come into contact with the Ephemeral Epiphyllum Fire or the Jambudvipa Water.
Those phenomena didn’t discriminate; the demons would be done for if even one of them touched their thick hide.
Like a tiger out on the prowl, Chen Fan killed everything that came before him; consequently, his points immediately began to soar.
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted once again, this time with an even more chaotic aura of calamity.
A heavy—as heavy as a mountain—yellow mist materialized. Wherever it surged, it pressed down with unimaginable force. Demons that came into contact with were crushed.
“Ahhh, a monster, a devil, who exactly is he?”
“It’s the Black Yellow Tribulation Earth! Run, quickly run!”
These demons were in a frenzy, terrified of Chen Fan’s heavenly star tribulation.
The demons had initially planned to strike when Chen Fan was at his weakest, after his tribulation.
However, after witnessing the horrifying forces of the Jambudvipa Tribulation Water, the Ephemeral Epiphyllum Fire, and now the Black Yellow Tribulation Earth, they were consumed by panic.
“Ah!”
A third-level Heavenly Star realm demon expert was shrouded by the Black Yellow Tribulation Earth, absorbing much of the yellow qi current into himself. He swelled, like a black-yellow ball of blood.
His voice, twisted with terror, echoed in the language of hell, “Black Yellow Tribulation Earth, that’s something that would only appear when someone is breaking through to the Legendary realm...”
Wherever the tribulation earth reached, the landscape was drowned in its deadly embrace, leaving no trace of life behind.
However, Chen Fan could not feel the power of the Black Yellow Tribulation Earth at all. He absorbed this tribulation earth wantonly, throwing it into the Heaven Seizing Furnace.
The Heaven Seizing Furnace was absorbing the power of all these calamities.
Chen Fan sensed that the Heaven Seizing Furnace would undergo a metamorphosis by absorbing the power of these calamities and advance into a Heaven and Earth Furnace.
As the Black Yellow Tribulation Earth swept across a five-thousand-kilometer radius, its killing power was unparalleled. Every demon caught in its path perished without a trace.
Chen Fan’s score had skyrocketed to a level equivalent to the combined scores of the top hundred participants.
Countless experts around the Demon Realm Platform watched the crystal scoreboard, where the names kept jumping and disappearing.
“Look, that’s Chen Fan. My god, how did his points soar by this much suddenly? Did he go kill more geniuses?”
Many people saw Chen Fan’s score soaring.
His ranking could not rise any higher, but his score was skyrocketing madly. It simply shocked the crowd so much that their eyes nearly popped out.
“A devil, I said. That little bastard Chen Fan is a great devil, the reincarnation of disaster. He’s come to bring calamity to our True Martial Academy. This devil must be killed!” Xiao Qianhe immediately roared angrily.
No one echoed Xiao Qianhe’s sentiments. The crowd’s eyes were crystal clear.
“Wait... that's not right. None of the names are disappearing. Could it be that Chen Fan is killing the demon experts like crazy?” someone muttered, disbelief creeping into their voice.
Countless gusts of wind, centered around Chen Fan, began swirling violently.
The winds intensified, forming wind spirits. Among them were eerie placentas, each carrying ferocious unborn entities.
“Eternal Divine Wind! It’s the Eternal Divine Wind!”
Those madly fleeing demon experts’ complexions turned pale from fright, devoid of any color of blood when they saw the wind.
Though the demon race was known for their brutal nature and insatiable bloodlust, none of them could contain their terror at this moment.
Despite their disregard for life and death, none of them wanted to meet such a horrendous fate at the hands of the Eternal Divine Wind.
