Saints Beg Me Not to Show Off

Countless great divine powers who had just returned from listening to the Dao at Purple Cloud Palace felt a stirring in their hearts at nearly the same moment, turning their gazes toward the far western lands shrouded in endless tribulation clouds.

On Kunlun Mountain, within the Three Pure Ones Hall.

Primordial Lord of Heaven sat upright on his cloud bed, frowning deeply as he gazed upon the scene of heaven-shaking, earth-shattering thunder tribulation.

"Such a thunder tribulation—its power far surpasses the ordinary Grand Unity tribulation, even faintly brushing the Quasi-Sage Threshold. Who has provoked this? What Dao do they cultivate, that the Heavenly Dao finds them so intolerable?"

Beside him, Sect Master Tongtian's Four Immortal Slaying Swords hummed softly, his eyes gleaming with excitement and curiosity.

"Indeed, a tribulation like this heavenly punishment is truly unheard of. If I could witness it, I would surely seek a discussion on the Dao!"

At the eastern extremity of Buzhou Mountain, on Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Empress Nuwa furrowed her delicate brows slightly, counting on her fingers to divine, yet found the heavenly mechanism utterly chaotic, veiled by an exceptionally peculiar power.

She turned to Fuxi beside her: "Elder brother, can you calculate who it is?"

Fuxi shook his head with a wry smile: "This person's Dao method is strange, seemingly independent of the Primordial Heavenly Dao. I too cannot fully discern their form."

"However, judging by their aura, it bears some resemblance to that Daoist friend Ao Chen we encountered at Buzhou Mountain..."

Deep within the Sea of Blood, Old Ancestor Minghe's face showed terror.

At Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun stood shoulder to shoulder, their expressions grave.

Countless gazes, all tinged with curiosity, turned toward that region shrouded in tribulation clouds.

They marveled at this unprecedented, terrifying thunder tribulation like heavenly punishment, while also speculating which divine being dared to defy heaven so boldly, drawing such wrath from the Heavenly Dao!

And at this moment, at the center of the tribulation clouds.

Ao Chen looked up at the sky, his expression more solemn than ever before.

He could clearly sense that the true trial had only just begun!

The tribulation clouds churned, no longer condensing into mythical beasts, but twisting and shaping themselves!

Gradually, three figures, towering and majestic, radiating authority, each wielding divine weapons forged from thunder laws, slowly emerged from the tribulation clouds!

These three figures had indistinct faces, yet they exuded a terrifying pressure far surpassing the previous thunder beasts, having clearly reached the Quasi-Sage level!

Heavenly Tribulation manifested! Thunder War Generals with Quasi-Sage combat power!

The ninety-nine and eighty-one tribulation thunders were barely halfway through, yet already this terrifying!

"Quasi-Sage combat power, huh..."

Ao Chen took a deep breath, tightening his grip on the Kunwu Sword. The Star River Universe within him spun at an unprecedented speed, and the myriad mysteries of the Mythical Grand Unity Method flowed through his mind.

"Very well, let me see just how great the Heavenly Dao's resolve to erase me truly is!"

His battle intent soared to the heavens, his sword pointing at the sky! He would use this tribulation to validate his Mythical Method, which the world could not tolerate.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Mythical Heavenly Immortal Late Stage, Bloodline Transformation, A Unique Lineage

Above the desolate mountain range, the tribulation clouds were like ink. Three Thunder War Generals, each with auras rivaling Quasi-Sages, held law-forged divine weapons, their gazes icy and murderous, surrounding Ao Chen in a triangular formation!

This was the Heavenly Dao's final means of eradication, gathering the most terrifying destructive power from the latter half of the ninety-nine thunder tribulation!

"Quasi-Sage combat power? Perfect, let me see how you law-forged creations differ from true Quasi-Sages!"

Ao Chen let out a long roar, his battle intent shattering the clouds!

The power of the Mythical Heavenly Immortal mid-stage poured out without reserve. The Star River Universe within him spun wildly, and billions of stars blazed with light simultaneously!

The Kunwu Sword in his hand hummed with a craving for battle!

"Kill!"

The three Thunder War Generals moved at once!

One thrust a thunder war spear, piercing through the void, straight for Ao Chen's brow—the sharpness of its law seemed capable of nailing even the Primordial Spirit!

One swung a thunder giant axe, splitting the mountain with the might of Pangu Creates the World, aiming to cleave Ao Chen and this very space in two!

One manifested a thunder seal, pressing down to suppress the ten directions, grinding all things to dust, embodying the supreme authority of Heavenly Dao judgment!

Facing this combined killing strike that would make even any early Quasi-Sage's scalp tingle, Ao Chen advanced instead of retreating!

"Grass Extinguishing!"

He uttered a low shout, and the Kunwu Sword sliced through the sky!

A gray sword qi, more condensed and more terrifying than any before, swept outward!

Within this sword qi lay not only the annihilating true intent of the Grass Extinguishing Sword Art and the immortal sharpness of the Kunwu Sword, but also his preliminary understanding of "self-attaining the Dao" and "independent immortality" from the Mythical True Immortal Chapter!

Where the sword qi passed, time seemed to freeze, and space tore like a scroll!

Clang!

The thunder war spear was severed mid-shaft by the sword qi, its law collapsing into scattered arcs of lightning!

Crack!

The thunder giant axe was struck head-on by the sword qi, its blade covered in cracks as it flew backward!

Boom!

The Thunder Seal was pierced straight through by the Sword Qi, and the Heavenly Dao majesty it contained dimmed and collapsed in an instant, as if it had met its natural nemesis!

One sword broke three moves!

Ao Chen pressed his advantage relentlessly, his form appearing before a Thunder War General like a teleport, not giving the opponent any chance to reassemble his laws!

"Fist Suppresses the Star River!"

He clenched his left fist, gathering the power of the Star River Universe within his body into a single point, and punched out with a simple, straightforward blow!

Bang!

The Thunder War General's body shattered inch by inch like porcelain, completely obliterated by the unmatched force contained in that punch, dissolving into the most fundamental fragments of Thunder Law!

Then, his form flickered again, and the Kunwu Sword lashed out once more, cutting down the other two Thunder War Generals who tried to regroup or counterattack, one after another!

Overwhelming!

Truly overwhelming!

Three Thunder-condensed beings comparable to Quasi-Sages were so fragile and powerless before his strength as a mid-stage Mythical Heavenly Immortal!

Yet Ao Chen did not stop!

Gazing at the tribulation clouds still churning violently in the sky, seemingly brewing an even more terrifying attack, a flash of madness and dominance gleamed in his eyes!

"Not over yet? If that's the case, then let This Seat devour you completely!"

"Heaven and earth as the furnace, creation as the craftsman; yin and yang as the charcoal, all things as the copper!"

Ao Chen roared to the heavens, his hands suddenly clapping together toward the sky!

Rumble!

The phantom of the Star River Universe within his body fully manifested, expanding and deforming outward in an unprecedented manner!

It actually transformed into a colossal furnace phantom that covered heaven and earth, seemingly forged from billions of stars!

A terrifying, unparalleled suction force erupted from within the furnace!

"Refine... for me!"

The endless tribulation clouds in the sky, along with all the destructive thunder and fragments of Heavenly Dao laws contained within them, were forcibly pulled and devoured into the Star Furnace like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Within the furnace, star fire blazed fiercely, and Dao runes spun wildly!

Ao Chen was using his own Star River Universe as a furnace, his Mythical Heavenly Immortal Dao as the flame, to forcibly refine, absorb, and transform this destructive Heavenly Tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao into nourishment for his own advancement!

Such a mad and domineering act would likely shock other great beings in the Primordial Wilderness if they witnessed it!

Heavenly Tribulation is the might of the Heavenly Dao; all living beings flee from it in fear. Who would dare to actively devour and refine it?

But Ao Chen dared!

His Dao was inherently independent of the Heavenly Dao! If the Heavenly Dao sought to destroy him, he would refine this tribulation of the Heavenly Dao!

Endless destructive thunder rampaged and crashed within the Star River Universe Furnace, trying to destroy everything!

But Ao Chen's will was as firm as a rock, and the Star River Universe operated without cease, constantly wearing down, breaking apart, and transforming these violent energies!

It was an extremely painful and perilous process!

Ao Chen could feel his physical body, Primordial Spirit, and even the entire Star River Universe enduring unimaginable impacts and tearing!

Yet at the same time, under this ultimate tempering, his understanding of the Mythical Heavenly Immortal Dao deepened rapidly!

The Dao resonance of "Eternal Uniqueness, Time is My Sole Proof" grew richer and more solid!

The thin membrane separating him from the late-stage Heavenly Immortal realm gradually dissolved amidst this refining that combined destruction and creation!

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of destructive thunder was fully refined and merged into the Star River Universe, becoming the purest energy and law comprehension—

Boom!
