Chapter 213 - 242: The Ten-Thousand-Zhang Tripod Prison Appears, Single-Handedly Suppressing the Champions!
As Su Bai brought his palm down.
The blood-robed figure wielding the black Great Halberd, along with the monstrous Divine Technique he had unleashed...
...was obliterated in an instant.
Annihilated, reduced to nothing!
"This boy... so he’s the legendary Lord of Heavenly Punishment?!"
At that moment, it wasn’t just the other four Nine Tribulations Realm Venerable Lords present whose expressions froze.
The old Sword Saint, hidden somewhere in the void and secretly observing, was also stunned.
His trembling gaze was fixed on the white-robed figure high in the sky—a figure that seemed to stretch from heaven to earth, like one of the Ancient Immortal Gods.
He watched as the man, standing high amongst the clouds, slowly withdrew his right palm. The Sword Saint’s expression was dazed as he muttered to himself.
The younger disciple from the Celestial Net Sword Sect at his side was completely frozen in place.
He had been there when the Great Xia Boxing Saint suppressed the masters of the Demon Dao, and he had witnessed the man’s world-shaking divine might with his own eyes.
He had even had the good fortune to personally witness him condense the ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Black Tripod!
But seeing him again now, the shock he felt was several times greater than before!
It just felt...
It just felt as if the Great Xia Boxing Saint’s power had skyrocketed far, far beyond what it was before.
Yet it had been less than a month since he’d broken through to the Dao Palace Realm and condensed his ten-thousand-zhang Daoist Palace Dharma Aspect!
Such terrifying talent and power were truly beyond his comprehension.
...
High in the heavens.
Su Bai withdrew his right hand, looking down on the remaining four from above.
At the same time, his gaze flickered, seemingly by chance, toward a certain spot in the void.
Instantly!
This caused the secretly watching Sword Saint’s breath to catch, his pupils constricting slightly!
He was deeply unsettled.
Su Bai retracted his gaze and swept it over the four of them, speaking with cold indifference.
"Since you are all so interested in the Daoist Palace Dharma Aspect I’ve condensed."
"Then I shall grant your wish."
The moment he finished speaking.
The world seemed to fall silent!
In the next instant.
Before any of them could react.
An indescribably terrifying aura, sharp and piercing to the eye like a blade, erupted before them!
RUMBLE—
In a flash, this terrifying aura ripped apart the cage of killing intent the five Nine Tribulations Realm Great Powers had previously created.
The morning sun, which had been obscured, reappeared on the horizon.
But it was quickly enveloped by another, even larger shadow.
They all looked up...
...to see an incomparably majestic Black Tripod, rising higher and higher...
In just a breath or two, it had already reached a height of ten thousand zhang!
And it seemed to have no end, continuing to tower ever upward into the depths of the clouds!
There was no telling how high it ultimately rose.
In the end, the Black Tripod blotted out the entire sky above.
A single, massive, crimson word—"Sin"—hung high in the air, like an eye of heaven and earth judging all creation.
The four below tilted their heads back, staring up at the Black Tripod whose peak was nearly impossible to see.
For a moment, they were all utterly mesmerized.
"BOOM!"
The next moment, from within the Dharma Tripod Prison, a monstrous Karmic Fire blazed to life!
It stained the sky crimson, like a bloody curtain drawn across the world.
Su Bai descended, hovering above the great tripod.
Deep crimson light and shadow danced and shifted across his form.
It cast him in a light that was...
...part righteous, part evil; part god, part demon.
And when Su Bai’s gaze fell upon the one-armed man in the Black Robe, the man felt a boundless terror surge within him.
"This brat is demonic! Attack together!"
He swiftly raised his remaining left hand and roared, his eyes filled with terror, his body churning with Demonic Qi!
BOOM!!
The other three had already reacted before he even finished speaking. Their auras erupted, their gazes turning grim!
In the southern sky.
The green-robed Daoist, who stood upon a sea of bones, crushed the Jade Bell in his hand. He inhaled a cloud of deep green smoke from within it, and strange markings instantly coiled around his body!
His aura surged in an instant.
Then, he thrust out his right palm!
"Bone Transformation!"
As his cry faded, the flesh-and-blood palm he thrust out began to glow. In a flash, it transformed into a hand of silvery-white bone.
It shot fiercely toward Su Bai!
At the same time, the one-armed man in the Black Robe produced a sharp golden blade that radiated an incomparably keen Geng Metal aura, and his figure blurred!
He vanished from his original position.
In response to the green-robed Daoist’s killing blow, Su Bai simply extended his right hand, meeting the Daoist’s silvery-white bone hand in an instant!
KRAK!
Amidst the sound of shattering, fine cracks spiderwebbed across the green-robed Daoist’s jade-like arm.
The cracks spread instantly, and soon the flesh of his arm began to flake off in large chunks, like clay from a statue.
Even the translucent, silvery-white bones within his arm began to emit crisp, shattering sounds.
They were cracking, inch by inch!
’He actually possesses such Divine Power!!’
The green-robed Daoist’s pupils contracted as he scrambled backward, the thought echoing endlessly in his mind.
A look of utter disbelief washed over his face.
BOOM—
However, Su Bai continued to press forward, his palm reaching out.
Amid a roar of despair...
...he seized the man in an instant!
...pulling him into the Dharma Tripod Prison.
Just then, the one-armed man in the Black Robe, blade in his left hand, closed in on Su Bai.
He was less than three feet away!
SHHIIING!!
He immediately swung the blade, unleashing a golden torrent as he stabbed at Su Bai’s chest!
’It won’t go through?!’
But in the next moment, he felt as if his blade had struck indestructible Immortal Gold; it couldn’t pierce through at all!
Not only had his assassination attempt failed to pierce Su Bai’s chest, but it had actually caused a corner of his own blade to chip!
’Just how powerful is this man’s Physique?!’
’It can’t even be pierced by a Geng Metal Artifact?’
The thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the next instant, he tried to flash away!
But to the Black Robe’s utter horror...
Su Bai reached out and seized his left arm.
Then, in the next instant, he squeezed!
In a flash, a spray of blood bloomed in the sky!
With both arms now destroyed, a piercing pain washed over him, and the man in the Black Robe let out a soul-tearing scream!
It was the roar of a dying beast.
With a thought from Su Bai, a ball of deep red Karmic Fire emerged from the tripod’s mouth and shot into the sky.
It transformed into a long, scarlet Dragon.
It completely engulfed the body of the man in the Black Robe!
After the man in the Black Robe vanished, Su Bai caught the golden blade as it fell through the air.
Then, he touched the blade with his fingertip.
And flicked it.
KRAK!
The Geng Metal Artifact let out a piercing shriek.
It instantly disintegrated!
It shattered into a thousand tiny golden fragments.
Which scattered to the winds.
The Black Lotus Elder, standing on his cloud, and the thousand-zhang Demon Lord had been about to make their move, but now they suddenly froze in place.
Their expressions were dazed.
From the moment the two had attacked to the moment of their utter defeat...
...no more than two or three breaths had passed.
The realization was chilling!
’This is bad! His strength... he might even be able to fight someone in the Void Realm!’
’I have to run!’
Seeing two experts of comparable strength to himself be crushed so instantly by Su Bai, the peerless, thousand-zhang Demon Lord felt a wave of terror crash over him.
His very Divine Spirit trembled!
SWOOSH!
In a flash, he transformed into a streak of scarlet light and vanished over the horizon.
Su Bai paid him no mind, merely dispatching a Divine Thought Incarnation to give chase.
Now, his gaze fell slowly upon the Black Lotus Elder.
As his eyes met Su Bai’s, the Black Lotus Elder slowly rose from his Lotus Platform.
He then took a deep breath. A fine black flame erupted all over his body, hissing like a Black Dragon.
Countless lotuses bloomed in the sky.
Staining the heavens black as ink!
He then fixed his gaze on Su Bai.
He slowly raised his right index finger and pointed it forward!
A black light swirled between the bones of his finger, and a heaven-piercing Evil Qi erupted!
Su Bai simply glanced back at him.
His right hand shot out, a palm strike pressing down.
The descending palm was like the sky itself collapsing!
BOOM—
Accompanied by the thunderous roar...
...in an instant, the finger bone shattered, the black lotuses wailed, and the Evil Qi vanished!
THUD, THUD, THUD!
The Black Lotus Elder was forced back several steps across the sky.
He spat out a great mouthful of blood as his body suddenly began to tear apart.
It looked like shattered porcelain!
"Truly peerless..."
He closed his eyes and bowed his head, sighing his last.
BOOM!
Then, his physical body disintegrated in the sky.
It dissolved into wisps of black light.
A complete Jie Mie!
