Chapter 143: Taking The Tribulations Too Lightly
Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation
”He… He managed to withstand that first wave?”
”That was the most horrifying and strongest wave of Tribulations I’ve ever seen and he managed to survive it?”
”My god… Who on earth is this monkey?”
”The amount of strength he possesses is extremely scary!”
”He even dared to challenge the heavens and requested for nine waves?”
All the different tribes were appalled as their faces revealed looks of fear and astonishment.
Su Ling’er and her Sky Demon Tribe members were equally shocked as they watched on in utter disbelief.
”This… This friend Sun is so powerful!” An elder spoke out as his lips trembled.
”I’m afraid none of us here would be able to survive that first wave! And he came out completely unscathed!”
”He is indeed powerful. It’s so hard to believe whatever I just saw!”
”But the way he provoked the heavens, that wasn’t very appropriate huh?”
The few of them started to worry for him once again.
Su Ling’er gorgeous looking eyes turned towards the altar as she whispered, ”Maybe…. He’s really that powerful!”
On the side where the Thousand Demons Tribe lingered, they were equally stumped by the recent spade of events!
Even the Tiger King was intimidated by the ferocity of the first Tribulation wave. And he was further shocked by the way Xu Que managed to handle it effortlessly!
However, this made him even more convinced that he had to kill Xu Que no matter the outcome!
The rest of Thousand Demons Tribe were first shocked by this. When they finally regained their composure, they broke out in ridiculing taunts once again.
”It’s impossible that the monkey was able to withstand such a wave. It must be that he got lucky and somehow managed to survive.”
”You’re right. I think the lightning bolts came down slanted, and most of it missed his body and landed elsewhere!”
”The most ridiculous thing was that he even dared to provoke and challenge the heavens. He’s really asking for death!”
”He’s just a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, how dare he overestimate himself and challenged the heavens to nine waves of Tribulations. Is he even worthy of activating nine waves?”
”What an ignorant monkey!”
”Look, the second wave would be much stronger than the first wave. Even if the second wave were to miss, the devastating effects of it would be sure to kill him without a doubt!”
”I’m sure enough to say that this monkey won’t even be able to survive three waves, much less nine waves?”
...
”Boom doom!”
At the same time, the lightning within the skies started moving with increased frenzy and stirred up violently. It was almost as if the heavens were responding towards Xu Que’s trash talk and was upset.
The second wave of Tribulations was indeed more fearsome than the first wave.
The clouds which were completely black at this point dipped even lower threateningly. The sky seemed to be an expanse which resembled a huge abyss looming over Xu Que, and drawing the clouds towards him. Arcs and arcs of lightning whipped and cracked around him as the second wave charged up.
Indeed, Xu Que’s expression was unwavering as he stood still in the middle of the altar, not budging a single inch.
Within his mind, the system rang out once more.
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 40 act tough points!”
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!”
”Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!”
”Ding! The system has detected the strength of the forthcoming lightnings.- God of Hell’s Compulsion has been automatically activated. 1% of the lightning powers has been absorbed.”
”God of Hell’s Compulsion, I almost forgot. This manual required absorption of elemental spiritual energies. Seems like this Heavenly Tribulations gave me one for free!”
Xu Que’s lips curled into a smile.
Although the first wave of Tribulations seemed to have been withstood by Xu Que effortless, the main reason was because of the Banshee’s Veil’s protection.
Now that the shield had absorbed the entire wave, it was completely spent and disappeared. It would take a day before the item could be used once again, when it’s cooldown was over.
However to Xu Que, the most important thing to him was to take advantage of the Tribulations and temper his physical body, and increase his strengths.
And the God of Hell’s Compulsion would help him to do this!
”Boom!”
At last, the next wave of Tribulations had descended.
It was evidently more terrifying and intimidating that the first wave. It almost seemed like several violent waterfalls stacked ontop of each other were raining down lightning bolts upon him. In that moment, they engulfed the entire altar with surges of bolts.
