Chapter 659: Chapter 656: Celestial God Dharma Image
At the sight of the Dharma Image, the expressions of the four Transcenders changed drastically. They cried out in shock, almost in unison, "A Celestial God Dharma Image!"
A terrifying pressure instantly filled the vast expanse between heaven and earth.
The Mortal World fell silent.
Before the Celestial God Dharma Image, there was only submission.
The Celestial God Dharma Image raised a finger, as large as a mountain peak. It pointed toward the Endless Void, right where Jiang Jichen’s Thunder Tribulation was converging.
With a single point of its finger, the endless orange Thunder Tribulation vanished in an instant.
The sky became clear once more.
So terrifying!
’It can actually repel a Thunder Tribulation with a single finger!’
Everyone watched this scene in utter disbelief.
The power of the Celestial God Dharma Image was beyond their comprehension.
With a flick of a finger, mountains and rivers fell; with a turn of the palm, the very heavens shattered.
The might of a Celestial God was truly just as the legends described!
In the Mortal World, certain Supreme beings who had lived for eons knew of such secrets.
Witnessing this, their hearts filled with sorrow.
In the distant past, the Mortal World had beings as powerful as Celestial Gods. But now, even those above the Supreme were few and far between.
’Is the destiny of the Mortal World truly at its end?’
Although the Celestial God Dharma Image had not descended into the Mortal World, appearing only in the Void above, the might it displayed was far beyond what any Mortal Cultivator could hope to match.
"The tribulation is no longer a threat to you. Hurry up and annihilate that ant!"
The booming voice of the Celestial God Dharma Image echoed from above.
The four Transcenders were jolted back to their senses.
Without further hesitation, they attacked again, unleashing their Supreme techniques as they charged forward.
Though the Thunder Tribulation around him had vanished, Jiang Jichen ignored the four Transcenders. His cold gaze was fixed on the massive figure in the Void above.
"Heh. I must be quite important for a major figure from the Heavenly Dao Realm to be so concerned as to personally send down a Celestial God Avatar."
"But a Celestial God Dharma Image is just a stray wisp of a Celestial God’s consciousness. Do you really still think of yourself as some high and mighty Celestial God?"
"Today, I will slay this god!"
Jiang Jichen’s resonant voice echoed between heaven and earth.
It was nothing less than a declaration of war against a Celestial God.
Everyone was utterly shocked, unable to believe what they were seeing.
At this moment, Jiang Jichen was like a mere mortal ant, roaring a challenge to the heavens, vowing to slaughter demons and slay gods!
But that was completely impossible!
The Celestial God Dharma Image had repelled a celestial Thunder Tribulation with a single finger. What could Jiang Jichen possibly use to slay a god?
It was the four Transcenders, however, who were the first to speak out in rage.
"How audacious! You dare to speak with such arrogance before the Celestial God Dharma Image! Die!"
"You dare speak such madness? Do you want the entire Mortal World to be buried along with you?"
The four of them roared as four terrifying Supreme attacks shot toward him simultaneously.
Meanwhile, from high within the Endless Void, the Celestial God Dharma Image cast its gaze upon the Mortal World. "For blaspheming a Celestial God, the sentence is death by the Celestial Dao’s ultimate punishment."
That single glance descended upon the Mortal World like the might of the heavens made manifest. No one dared to even breathe.
Simultaneously, thousands of terrifying instruments of torture materialized around Jiang Jichen.
These instruments were formed from the Heavenly Dao Rules, and they were all about to descend upon Jiang Jichen.
Jiang Jichen stood upon the earth, his head tilted toward the heavens. His calm voice once again echoed across the world.
"Third Layer of Thunder, come!"
"Fourth Layer of Thunder, come!"
"Fifth Layer of Thunder, come!"
As his three calls echoed, the thunder that had just faded from the Endless Void reappeared.
This time, three layers of Thunder Tribulation—yellow, green, and cyan—surged forth one after another, churning between heaven and earth.
The tricolored lightning descended as one, engulfing Jiang Jichen. Simultaneously, the attacks from the four Transcenders were annihilated once again before they could even reach him.
Moreover, the thousands of torture instruments that had appeared around him shattered into dust, fading into the Void.
"Hmph. A mere Fifth-Layer Thunder Tribulation. Such pathetic tricks. You don’t know your own limits!"
"By the Celestial God’s Finger, all thunder recedes! Begone!"
High in the Void, the Celestial God Dharma Image spoke coldly and once again pointed its finger.
This time, however, the Celestial God Dharma Image was no longer as effortless as before.
The pointing of the giant finger became slow and strained.
In the end, the tribulation clouds in the Endless Void vanished once more.
"Haha! So what if you can summon a Fifth-Layer Thunder Tribulation? It was still dismissed with a single point of a finger!"
"Jiang Jichen, stop this pointless struggle!"
"It’s time to send you to your death!"
The four Transcenders roared, unleashing their Supreme attacks for a third time.
In truth, having had their attacks repeatedly destroyed by Jiang Jichen, the four were filled with boundless rage and resentment.
Yet, Jiang Jichen ignored them once again. His gaze remained fixed on the Celestial God Dharma Image in the Void as his voice rang out once more.
"Sixth Layer of Thunder, come!"
"Seventh Layer of Thunder, come!"
As his two calls rang out, heaven and earth trembled, and the winds and clouds swirled.
The Thunder Tribulation reappeared high above in the Endless Void.
This time, fields of blue and Purple Thunder appeared.
Its terrifying might seemed powerful enough to crush the ages.
"This... How is this possible? Jiang Jichen actually summoned a Seventh-Layer Thunder Tribulation!"
The four Transcenders had lost all of their previous smugness; their faces were now deathly pale.
Jiang Jichen’s Thunder Tribulation was beyond anyone’s imagination.
The blue and Purple Thunder of the dual-layered tribulation seemed to have come from the eternal heavens, from a distant, primordial era.
The aura it carried was terrifying beyond measure, capable of destroying everything and turning all of creation to ash.
But the more terrifying the destructive Thunder Tribulation, the more astonishing the sliver of life it contained.
At that moment, Jiang Jichen took a single step forward.
BOOM!
The four Transcenders had no time to react before they were engulfed by the endless blue and Purple Thunder.
"Aah, help me!"
"We beseech the Celestial God Dharma Image to intervene and repel the Thunder Tribulation!"
"No! This Thunder Tribulation can destroy my Divine Sense!"
Miserable screams echoed from within the swirling blue and Purple Thunder.
The four Supreme Transcenders, all at the Saint Realm Ninth Layer, were utterly powerless against the dual-layered blue and Purple Thunder.
They tried to flee and retreat, but once touched by the Thunder Tribulation, it clung to them like karma.
They would have to face the tribulation alongside Jiang Jichen.
Their only hope was for the Celestial God Dharma Image to make the Thunder Tribulation retreat as it had before.
But Jiang Jichen didn’t spare the four Transcenders a single glance. He stepped into the air, instantly appearing before the Celestial God Dharma Image.
"Normally, you could kill me with the lift of a finger."
"But now, I am wreathed in this Thunder Tribulation, and I will have you face it with me."
Jiang Jichen gave a chilling smile as he drew closer to the Celestial God Dharma Image.
The cold voice of the Celestial God Dharma Image rang out, "I am a Celestial God Dharma Image, eternal and indestructible. What can a mere Seventh-Layer Thunder Tribulation do to me?"
"Instead, let this god obliterate you within your own tribulation."
With one hand, the Celestial God Dharma Image sealed the heavens, preventing the blue and Purple Thunder from descending further and temporarily saving the four Transcenders from their plight.
Its giant palm was like the sky itself, capable of blotting out the firmament.
At the same time, it raised its other hand and swatted down at Jiang Jichen.
The Celestial God Dharma Image was unbelievably powerful. With a single palm, it could block the Sixth and Seventh Layers of the Holy Dao’s Thunder Tribulation.
In the face of the Celestial God Dharma Image, everyone in the Mortal World felt a profound powerlessness. Their hearts had already surrendered, unable to muster even a shred of defiance.
But just then, Jiang Jichen’s voice rang out once more across the world: "Eighth Layer of Thunder, come!"
