Chapter 1192: Supreme Thunder Tribulation
Seeing Jiang Cheng pass through the seventh thunder tribulation unharmed, everyone in the Celestial Pill Department finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It’s finally over!"
"Yeah, Elder Jiang is so mighty, he actually succeeded in passing seven thunder tribulations."
"Damn it, I want to go up and question what the Divine Thunder Bureau is trying to do!"
"That’s right, we must demand an explanation from them!"
"This is simply murder!"
A group of Pill Masters flew upwards, only to find they couldn’t approach that area at all.
Because, the layers of tribulation clouds hadn’t dispersed.
Normally, once the thunder tribulation ends, the tribulation clouds would disappear quickly.
Now that they hadn’t disappeared, it meant the thunder tribulation wasn’t over.
And before the thunder tribulation was over, no one else could intervene.
"How could this be?"
"Are they crazy? What are they trying to do?"
The Pill Masters exclaimed in surprise, while the Thunder Master Immortal Official behind the tribulation clouds exchanged glances with the two Ninth-grade Immortal Officials.
"Still unscathed."
"How can he still withstand it?"
Even if he just bled a little, at least it would show they had been here.
What does this mean now?
"What do we do now?"
"He just passed the thunder tribulation, should we just leave like this?"
The Supreme Thunder Master shook his head vigorously.
"No, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!"
He quickly activated the Communication Immortal Artifact to contact the headquarters of the Divine Thunder Bureau.
"We must ask for permission to use a more advanced thunder tribulation!"
Thus, the higher-tier Supremes and Daoist Venerables of the Divine Thunder Bureau were quickly informed that Jiang Cheng was undergoing the Celestial Venerable Thunder Tribulation.
Immediately, the Divine Thunder Bureau was abuzz with excitement.
"What are we waiting for, kill him immediately!"
"We must not show mercy, do it according to the Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation’s standards!"
"Our Divine Thunder Bureau’s reputation must be restored!"
"If Jiang Cheng isn’t dead, we’ll always be a laughingstock!"
The hall was filled with rowdy shouting from Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth-grade Immortal Officials.
They wished they could charge in themselves.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t.
Whoever presides over the thunder tribulation is fixed, it can’t be changed.
The Second Grade Chief Immortal Official Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, with a face full of authority and killing intent, gave a stern order.
"Don’t leave a single one of the seven thunder tribulations, you must fully kill this miscreant!"
He knew Jiang Cheng was the chief of the Celestial Pill Department with high status, but so what?
The power and realm are plain to see.
Moreover, the Divine Monarchs tacitly allowed him to retaliate against Jiang Cheng with such a grandiose method as a thunder tribulation.
"If you can’t kill him, bring your heads to see me!"
His order was like an imperial edict, spoken with authority.
However, the three Immortal Officials opposite had long faces.
"We’ve already blasted the seven thunder tribulations at him, yet unbelievably, he hasn’t died, and he’s unscathed..."
"What?"
Far away at the Divine Thunder Bureau, many high-ranking officials jumped up in surprise.
"Unscathed?"
"How can this be?"
How could this be tolerated?
"An opportunity like this might not come a second time!"
"That’s right, we must seize this opportunity!"
"Daoist Venerable, give him the Supreme Thunder Tribulation!"
"Yes, give him a thunder tribulation far beyond his current realm, I don’t believe he can’t die!"
The Divine Thunder Bureau controlled the thunder tribulations under the Celestial Palace, and such a thing was indeed possible.
Just that, this kind of action was against the heavenly rules and regulations.
"Never mind that!"
"The higher-ups actually tacitly approved us to use the thunder tribulation to kill him."
"That’s right, at that time, just say we got it wrong..."
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable finally made up his mind.
"I authorize you the Supreme Thunder Tribulation!"
"Make sure to kill him!"
"Yes!"
The Thunder Master Immortal Official, who finally received support from above, was elated.
"Quick, quick, quick, start the Supreme Thunder Tribulation now!"
Subsequently, the Pill Masters from the Celestial Pill Department who were watching saw a new thunder tribulation descend.
When they saw the pitch-black, starry-edged new thunder descended, everyone screamed.
"Supreme Thunder Tribulation!"
"How could this happen?"
"Sect Leader Jiang is clearly breaking through to Celestial Venerable, how could they unleash the Supreme Thunder Tribulation?"
"This is murder, this is murder!"
"Has the Divine Thunder Bureau gone mad?"
Nothing they said could make a difference, they couldn’t enter the center of the thunder tribulation, much less interrupt it.
In essence, the Divine Thunder Bureau was administering tribulations on behalf of the heavens, which was part of the Heavenly Dao’s power.
After the first thunder tribulation struck down, Jiang Cheng finally felt a trace of sensation.
But it was just a trace.
Not even worth an itch.
The cigarette in his hand was still leisurely burning, and he was too lazy to change his posture.
When the first Supreme Thunder Tribulation subsided, everyone in the Celestial Pill Department was prostrate with admiration.
"Damn, our Elder Jiang is just too strong?"
"A Celestial Venerable Realm can actually withstand a Supreme Thunder Tribulation and still remain unharmed?"
"He’s a peerless martial dao genius held back by alchemy!"
"What are you saying, clearly a genius alchemist delayed by martial dao!"
Celestials like Taiheng and Liuyuan, who came out of the Ancient Immortal Realm, laughed proudly one after another.
"Haha, now you know why we had such confidence?"
"That is Sect Leader Jiang!"
"A thunder tribulation is nothing in front of him!"
Truth be told, when they saw the Supreme Thunder Tribulation, they broke a sweat too.
"The Supreme Thunder Tribulation has a total of eighteen strikes, it’s hard to say."
"Don’t worry, seeing Sect Leader Jiang’s relaxed demeanor, you know it’s going to be fine."
Above, the jaws of the three Thunder Master Immortal Officials nearly dropped in shock.
"He’s, he’s what kind of freak?"
"This person can kill Venerable Shang Lian, a bit of peculiarity is quite normal!"
"Continue, let him try the full set of Supreme Thunder Tribulation, I don’t believe he can still be unharmed!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, thunder tribulations struck Jiang Cheng.
But it all seemed futile.
Jiang Cheng didn’t move like other tribulation crossers, didn’t use rules, didn’t activate cultivation techniques, nor did he deploy any secret treasures or armor to block.
He remained utterly still, too lazy to move.
The thunder tribulation struck him as if a stream hits an unchanging reef for millions of years.
The waves only proved how strong he was.
The three Thunder Master Immortal Officials were nearly questioning their existence.
Far away at the Divine Thunder Bureau, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable and others were also dumbfounded.
They were remotely observing the scene through special means.
"How can he be completely fine?"
"He should at least suffer some injuries, right?"
"Is he really newly at the Celestial Venerable level? Is that even real?"
"This is too bizarre!"
Someone noticed the cigarette in Brother Cheng’s hand, already half-burnt, as if making a major discovery.
"It must be because of the special secret treasure he’s holding with that swirling smoke!"
Venerable Fan Lei suddenly ’understood’.
"I know it, I know it all!"
"That Trust Incense Secret Treasure must be deflecting the damage in some miraculous way!"
He stared tightly at the burning cigarette on the screen.
"Look, that Trust Incense is getting shorter, clearly sustaining damage."
"In my view, this incense absorbed the thunder tribulation’s damage to Jiang Cheng, transferring it to itself!"
"That’s why Jiang Cheng is unscathed!"
