The moment they heard Jiang Che was about to undergo his heavenly tribulation, Yu Wan'er and the other girls couldn't sit still.
"Yaoyao-jie! That big jerk Jiang Che is facing his tribulation! Let's go watch!"
"Hmph~ I’ll pray really hard for the heavens to strike him down, preferably until he’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!"
Yu Wan'er crossed her arms, her face full of pride.
Seeing her like this, Ye Mengyao could only rub her temples helplessly.
"Pistol shrimp, let's go!"
With that, Yu Wan'er hopped onto the back of a pistol shrimp, which immediately arched its back and launched forward like a spring!
...
Jiang Che glanced at the thunderclouds gathering ominously in the sky.
Of course, he was going to face the lightning tribulation.
How else was he supposed to reap benefits?
While he could technically bypass the tribulation by using his Void Physique to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm—since doing so wouldn’t trigger a heavenly punishment—there was a catch.
Fakes were still fakes. The moment he deactivated the "Void Immortal Physique" illusion created by his god-tier special effects, the Heavenly Dao would immediately detect the deception.
It was like a computer virus. Even if a virus managed to slip past the firewall, the system would still purge it once identified.
Might as well face the tribulation head-on, let Dong'er activate the real Void Immortal Physique to siphon power from the Thunder Pool, while he himself milked some "show-off points" under the lightning strikes. Either way, he wouldn’t lose!
"BOOM—"
The thunderclouds had fully manifested, forming a massive black vortex high in the sky.
Terrifying arcs of lightning crackled around the vortex’s maw, giving off an apocalyptic vibe.
The Great Sun Saint Body’s Divine Transformation Tribulation was no joke!
Jiang Che’s tribulation was even more intense than Jiang Yunhuang’s had been.
[The Hundred Calamities Undying Tribulation! Husband, this lightning tribulation is the Hundred Calamities Undying Tribulation. Surviving it will forge the Hundred Calamities Undying Body, a type of acquired spiritual physique. While not as strong as a Saint Body, it’s still formidable...]
Mo Lianxing explained patiently.
"Uh... If it can’t even compare to a Saint Body, what’s the point?"
Jiang Che was speechless. The top-tier Saint Bodies in his system’s shop cost at most a couple million points. Even the Chaos Immortal Body was only 500 million—a few months of saving up, and he could buy it outright!
"Guess this Undying Tribulation was triggered by my Great Sun Saint Body. But what if..."
Jiang Che’s interest was piqued. With so many backup plans, he wasn’t afraid of death.
Why not simulate the Chaos Immortal Body using his god-tier special effects and see how the tribulation reacted?
The next second, Jiang Che started stirring up trouble.
Chaos Immortal Body—activate!
Though there were no flashy visual effects, the brewing thunderclouds in the sky suddenly froze.
It was as if the Heavenly Dao’s CPU had crashed. Where the hell did this Chaos Physique come from?!
But soon, the entire sky trembled.
Screw it—STRIKE!
"BOOM—"
The black vortex at the zenith of the sky exploded, and the dark thunderclouds instantly expanded across millions of miles.
Viewed from space, even though Earth had expanded dozens of times in size, the thunderclouds still spanned multiple continents. At the same time... space itself rippled violently, as though the entire world had been flipped upside down.
[H-Husband... it seems you’ve been pulled into a Mirror Dimension? This means the tribulation you’re about to face is too destructive, and the Heavenly Dao automatically created a separate space to contain it. In the Nine Heavens... tribulations like the Creation Tribulation or Emperor Tribulation are akin to world-ending catastrophes.]
Jiang Che: "..."
Ahem, my bad!
He was just trying to break through to Divine Transformation, not actually planning to risk his life!
The Chaos Immortal Body’s tribulation was infinitely more terrifying than the Hundred Calamities Undying Tribulation. One look was enough to know it wasn’t something to mess with.
While surviving it would undoubtedly bring great rewards, why gamble when he could just buy what he needed from the system?
So, he immediately deactivated his Chaos Immortal Body and even used his god-tier special effects to mask his Great Sun Saint Body, reducing himself to a completely mediocre physique.
Total trash-tier!
Once again, Jiang Che left the Heavenly Dao utterly baffled.
The sky was still packed with terrifying tribulation clouds, and the thunder dragons deep within the vortex had already taken shape—ready to unleash devastation.
But... no target detected???
Jiang Che was basically toeing the line and dancing on it.
The Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm was clearly dumb as a brick, not even qualifying as artificial stupidity.
After failing to detect the Chaos Immortal Body, the apocalyptic tribulation quickly dissipated—even the original Hundred Calamities Undying Tribulation vanished.
All that remained was a tiny, gloomy cloud floating above Jiang Che’s head, devoid of any grand phenomena.
Then, a single bolt of lightning struck Jiang Che squarely on the head, curling his hair before his aura surged wildly.
The energy of a first-stage Divine Transformation cultivator radiated from him.
That’s right—Jiang Che had "survived" his tribulation.
Without any Saint Body enhancements, the Divine Transformation Tribulation had only bothered to strike him ONCE?!
What the hell, was it looking down on him or something?!
Generally, the stronger one’s physique, the more terrifying their tribulation—especially for immortal-tier physiques, which would inevitably trigger once-in-a-hundred-millennia super tribulations.
But without a Saint Body, even the heavens couldn’t be bothered to punish Jiang Che properly.
The anomaly left countless spectators dumbfounded.
"What the... what just happened? Weren’t there tribulation clouds everywhere a second ago? Why’d they just vanish?"
"I’m not gonna lie—that tribulation scared the hell out of me! I live all the way on the Tibetan Plateau, and I could still see that monstrous lightning!"
"Just looking at that tribulation made my heart race. Are you telling me a human could actually survive that?!"
Everyone was stunned, especially Jiang Yunhuang—he’d nearly died of fright!
Just what kind of physique did his grandson have to attract such a terrifying tribulation?!
The scale of that lightning storm was at least a hundred times more intense than the one he’d faced back in the day!
"Hmph~ S-Such a shame... Why didn’t that wave of lightning just... just strike that bastard dead?!"
Nearby, Yu Wan'er and the others had long since arrived.
Though the little girl’s words were sharp, her voice carried a barely noticeable tremble.
"Wan'er, stop pretending. You were shaking the hardest earlier. If something really had happened to Jiang Che... you’d have nowhere to cry!" Ye Mengyao pinched Yu Wan'er’s cheek teasingly.
"Hmph! The good die young, while the wicked live forever. A scoundrel like Jiang Che... there’s no way he’d die so easily!"
"Wan'er, your face was pale just now... and you still claim you weren’t worried about Jiang Che? Keep lying to yourself!"
"Qiaoqiao-jie, I was NOT!!!" Yu Wan'er reacted like a cat with its tail stepped on, jumping up in protest.
"Hahaha, Wan'er, why so defensive? Someone’s getting flustered~"
Yu Wan'er: "..."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
