Chapter 1493: Ultimate Black Hand Appears?

What did he see?! An overwhelming, surging murderous aura filled the air!

Chu Feng's scalp was tingling. Had discarding the stone jar truly brought about this deadly tribulation?

At that moment, countless immortal swords, too numerous to count, pierced down from the sky. They were dazzling, incredibly sharp, and rent the very air.

Especially, these sword bodies, tens of thousands of feet in length, could be called sky-piercing swords. They formed a formation of ten thousand swords piercing the heart, all converging on one point and striking at him.

Such enormous sword bodies, if they truly reached him, wouldn't pierce; they would smash into him like a mountain of swords, pounding him directly into a pulp!

Dazzling beams of light erupted as tens of thousands of incomparably sharp, sky-piercing divine swords chopped down violently. It was terrifying, leaving one utterly powerless to resist.

Chu Feng's pupils contracted. He had never encountered such terrifying, inexplicable killing swords! Could he block them?

He used his spatial manipulation ability, swiftly moving sideways, vanishing from his original spot, and reappearing hundreds of miles away!

Yet, the magnificent sword light, like a blazing sun, rotated like a galaxy. Limitlessly brilliant and vast as the sea, it was utterly unavoidable. It enveloped the heavens and earth, forming an overwhelming force that followed him, descending.

Was this an inescapable death trap?

Chu Feng felt a chill from head to toe. He couldn't evade it at all; even with his incredible speed, he couldn't match the swiftness of the sword light!

Patterns emerged beneath his feet, forming a domain. The shimmering, crystalline patterns spread like a net. He intended to traverse dozens of states, to leave this deadly, desolate place.

However, something terrifying happened: the domain runes exploded, disintegrating completely in an instant.

At the same time, inexplicable beams of light appeared, locking his feet like shackles or fetters, binding him and making escape impossible.

Moreover, his body immediately trembled violently. His physical body suffered a terrible attack as the shackles on his ankles pulsed with electricity, scorching his flesh.

What exactly was the origin of that stone jar? Chu Feng was both shocked and enraged. He had merely thrown it away, and it had caused such a massive disturbance? Was it retaliating against him?!

This was going to torment him to death!

In the sky, tens of thousands of massive swords descended, all converging on him. He couldn't help but let out a furious roar; his entire body glowed as he prepared to fight for his life.

Who was orchestrating all this? Was there truly an ultimate mastermind silently observing him?

And now, because he was "disobedient," discarding the stone jar and defying that entity's will, was he being targeted for a cruel and merciless elimination?

All this happened in a flash; others wouldn't have been able to react at all.

As for Chu Feng, the one involved, he was now experiencing a deadly tribulation!

Beams of light stretching billions of feet, boundless sword energy, all chopped down.

Chu Feng couldn't dodge, nor could he move his body. His feet were locked to the ground; he could only passively endure.

But how could he willingly die like this? Enraged and desperate, he would not simply surrender to death; waiting to die without resisting was not his character.

Even if he was outmatched, even if it was like a moth flying into a flame, he would fight to the very end.

His Eternal King power erupted, and boundless runes covered his body like crystalline armor, protecting every part of him.

At the same time, his Ultimate Fist tore through the air. The dazzling fist imprint smashed towards the sky.

In an instant, he punched through the void itself, meeting the boundless sword light that cascaded like a galaxy!

Furthermore, his Human King blood had long since awakened. His body seemed dyed in a silvery-white hue, even his hair was as brilliant as platinum, and his entire body was aglow!

The Human King Domain appeared; he hoped to mitigate the damage with it.

Even the attacks of a Heavenly Venerate were ineffective against him; the various wondrous techniques of beings at that level posed no threat. He was immune to all spells.

But now, he was confronting an immeasurable death tribulation!

The sword light descended, engulfing Chu Feng.

"Argh..." He let out a great roar that shook the entire land. Boundless ancient trees swayed, their leaves withered, then exploded.

Next, rocks tumbled. Many mountaintops broke apart, then exploded!

This was caused by his roar and also by the terrifying sword light in the sky. The desolate mountains, the boundless ranges, were all on the verge of destruction.

Had he not traversed a hundred miles away from the city, countless lives would surely have perished; a modern city would have turned into ruins, and many people would have died.

The night moon was already bright, but now it was even more brilliant.

Boom! Chu Feng was "pierced by ten thousand arrows." All beams of light and all sword energy converged, ultimately striking him and making him completely disappear.

Because the beams were enormous and there were too many sky-piercing swords concentrated here, they were too vast and terrifying, effectively "burying" him.

The mountains exploded, earth and stone disintegrated. Many mountaintops were leveled, disappearing entirely, and the entire ground cracked, engulfed by the dazzling light beams.

"Damn it!" Amidst the sword light and surging, dazzling energy, Chu Feng was not dead. He struggled out from a large fissure in the ground, covered in blood and utterly miserable.

He didn't die from such terrifying sword light? If an outsider saw this, they would be stunned; those were tens of thousands of sky-piercing swords, chopped down from the heavens!

Chu Feng was covered in blood and wounds. His Human King Domain had been shattered, and his Ultimate Fist had not even shattered all the sword light in the sky.

To outsiders, this would be a miracle. How could a person of flesh and blood resist such a boundless, immeasurable death tribulation?

However, Chu Feng was dissatisfied and immensely annoyed, because he now knew what kind of energy this was, what kind of tribulation it belonged to.

Boundless thunderous roars deafened him; the sounds reached him only after the sword light had fallen, exploding in his ears. These were all... Great Heavenly Lightning?!

Chu Feng's face was extremely grim. These weren't real sky-piercing swords; they were all lightning?

But they were too realistic; he hadn't been able to discern it immediately. All the sword lights contained runes, forming gigantic swords.

Furthermore, within them, there was an unfathomable sword intent, with patterns of sword dao rules emerging!

And were the shackles binding his feet also formed from lightning? But why hadn't they exploded? And why were they even more realistic, containing astonishing patterns of order?

"Get lost!" Chu Feng roared furiously. His entire body glowed as he unleashed all his vital energy and power, striking towards the sky while struggling to break the shackles on his feet.

Crackle! Thunder erupted, the heavens and earth roared, and many divine chains of order appeared.

Chu Feng was like a primordial demon god. In his fury, he roared and tore apart the shackles wrapped around him. His feet could move again, and he could leave that mountainous area.

However, he couldn't escape the boundless thunderous roars. They were like demonic howls, like immortal ancestors chanting scriptures, suppressing and covering him. He remained enveloped by the lightning.

Bang, bang, bang! He continuously threw punches, exploding one dazzling sword light after another, dispersing the blinding lightning.

Then, behind him, a myriad of colors erupted as he employed the Seven Treasures Divine Technique, sweeping away the dense lightning that poured from the void like a galaxy.

Crackling sounds were ceaseless. Countless mountaintops were destroyed, turning into dust; one could imagine how high the energy level of this tribulation was.

After Chu Feng realized it was lightning, he was initially shocked and enraged, even a bit dazed, but he quickly realized what was happening.

He understood he had been overthinking. This didn't seem to be orchestrated by anyone; it wasn't some indescribable entity peeking and delivering punishment.

If there was, it was only... Heavenly Punishment! More precisely, it was—Heavenly Tribulation!

He instantly understood all the causes and effects. Not long ago, he had elevated his Dao Fruit in the Yang Realm from the Golden Body level to the Transcendent King realm!

This was more than just one big step; it was ascending several major steps consecutively, a qualitative transformation.

After reaching a certain height, evolvers experience a corresponding lightning tribulation with each realm increase. How could he, after crossing so many steps and achieving the ancient, legendary Eternal King Dao Fruit, not have a Heavenly Tribulation?

He had simply been negligent at the time, immersed in the joy of his twin Eternal King Dao Fruits, and hadn't thought of this matter at all.

In fact, nothing unusual happened then. No lightning descended; there were no signs at all.

"All this... is because of the stone jar!"

Chu Feng suddenly understood. Because the stone jar had been too active recently, semi-resurrected, it was so heaven-defying that it concealed everything and obscured heavenly secrets. That's why the lightning tribulation hadn't arrived.

And when he just threw away the stone jar, it was like taking off a protective cloak and exposing himself. He directly allowed himself to be targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation in the ethereal realm. Therefore, he was struck by lightning!

And he was struck by heavenly lightning immediately!

At this moment, Chu Feng wanted to roar and shout, but no sound came out. He was completely buried alive by lightning; the moment he opened his mouth, it was filled with electric light.

Sea-like electric light, densely packed golden snakes, and massive divine swords covered him from all directions, with no blind spots. Even lightning emerged from underground, which was bizarre.

Many lightning bolts came from underground, from mountains and rivers, not from the sky.

By this point, Chu Feng was almost half-cooked. His entire body was struck by lightning, and there was no escaping it; he could only resist forcefully and passively endure.

As a result, every inch of his body, all his skin, was being electrified. Moreover, the powerful lightning corresponding to his realm pierced him, striking him from head to toe.

Chu Feng's flesh was torn open; he was charred everywhere, and there was even a burning smell. He was heavily wounded.

And this was just the beginning. He had achieved the most powerful twin Eternal King Dao Fruit in history, and the corresponding lightning was destined to be the strongest Heavenly Tribulation of this realm!

Especially, this was the accumulation of several minor realms. He should have been struck by lightning multiple times, but it had all accumulated into one.

In this short period, Chu Feng was repeatedly struck until he was half-dead. Even the Seven Treasures Divine Technique was dispersed, and his current incomplete Ultimate Fist was useless. His fists were stained with blood, then charred black, and his bones were on the verge of breaking.

Chu Feng grew anxious and said furiously, "I'm an old man about to retire, and you're still striking me?!"

He looked to be in his teens; if outsiders saw or heard him roar like this, they would be speechless.

"I truly am going to retire, jumping out of the Three Realms and Five Elements! What are you dead heavenly lightning doing striking me? I'm no longer in the mortal world, not involved in any disputes, yet you still strike me! Still striking? Get lost, you damn thing!"

Chu Feng was exasperated. Even though he knew cursing was useless, he still wanted to try, because it truly hurt; he was almost struck to death, and his entire body smelled of roasted meat.

"You utterly useless thing, don't you know how to respect the elderly and cherish the young? Get lost, you dead lightning, you damn tribulation!"

Chu Feng roared continuously, while also fighting endlessly.

Unfortunately, all his words were drowned out by the Heavenly Tribulation and covered by lightning. He was being "baptized" from all directions, with various colors of lightning intertwining within his body.

This strongest Heavenly Tribulation encompassed everything: from golden electric snakes to blood-red lightning, to black arcs of electricity, and then to beams entangled with chaotic mist. They were densely packed, intertwining within his body.

At this moment, Chu Feng coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, struck so hard he lost the will to live. It was too painful, simply unbearable; he had never encountered such torture.

Many Heavenly Tribulations, concentrated together, formed an enhanced, strongest Heavenly Tribulation in history. For unknown eons, the Divine King realm had never seen such a tribulation.

"If you can't strike me dead, I'll destroy you!" In the end, Chu Feng also became ruthless.
