The dazzling sword light contained an extremely sharp sword intent. It pierced through the clouds, tore through space, and broke through the first level of punishment!
It had to be said that the power displayed by Chen Hao's slash was incredibly fierce. The sword will, energy, and profundity of the ultimate skill contained within it had all reached a rather high level. However, what it brought to the crowd was not shock, but … relief. Yes, it was a sigh of relief. No matter who it was, when they saw an existence that was so powerful that it was shocking, inconceivable, and unbelievable, they would be jealous and hate the heavens for being unfair in the depths of their hearts. They were all humans, so why was there such a huge gap between them? And now, Chen Hao didn't take the punishment head on. Instead, he chose to break through the clouds. From their point of view, Chen Hao couldn't take the punishment and was forced to break through the clouds.
Without a doubt, when they saw this, they naturally thought that Chen Hao wasn't as strong as they thought.
…
"Brother Hao, he … why couldn't he take it? That's not right … "
"Strange …"
Long Ting and Long Yi, who knew Chen Hao very well, frowned when they saw this. Chen Hao took the punishment head on, and all of them were magnified six times. To the two of them, it wasn't difficult at all. They were clearly aware of how terrifying Chen Hao's strength was. His fleshly body, soul, and will were all abnormal to the point of causing one's hair to stand on end. But now, why was he unable to withstand the first level of Heavenly Punishment?
The two of them didn't understand and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Similarly, Baili Ning Bing frowned. However, her eyes flashed with disdain. It had to be said that she knew that Chen Hao was strong, but she didn't know how strong Chen Hao was. Chen Hao was able to break through the tribulation cloud with the first strike of the sixfold heavenly punishment. Although it was a little unexpected, it was understandable. From his point of view, it was obvious that Chen Hao was too confident and let the alliance magnify the punishment six times, but he couldn't take it … This made him sigh in relief and gloat.
…
The staff of the Alliance's Heavenly Punishment Plaza, as well as all the spectating cultivators, believed that Chen Hao would definitely request the Alliance to reduce the size of the Heavenly Punishment. However, what they didn't understand was that Chen Hao, who was standing proudly, didn't issue any orders even as the second and even more terrifying tribulation cloud gradually formed. Until the moment it rumbled and descended, he didn't even give any orders. Instead, he raised his head to look at the sky without a trace of fear. He didn't even condense any ultimate technique to attack.
Crack!
Rumble … Rumble …
Chi chi chi …
"What's going on?"
At this moment, the same question appeared in the minds of Chen Hao and everyone else's mind. The only difference was that the question was different.
What everyone couldn't understand was why Chen Hao, who had to rely on his divine ability to break through the first heavenly punishment, was now facing the second heavenly punishment that was even more terrifying than the first heavenly punishment. This didn't make sense. To be more precise, if one couldn't even withstand the first strike, then the second strike would result in instant death! But it didn't seem like they imagined …
On the other hand, Chen Hao was puzzled … Since when did he become so powerful? The punishment was supposed to be terrifying and had an excellent tempering effect on his body. How could it have no effect on his soul, willpower, and state of mind? Chen Hao didn't even feel the slightest bit of challenge when it came to his physical body. This was illogical … At the very least, Chen Hao was confused. This was a heavenly punishment, a heavenly punishment triggered by a cultivator's heaven-defying actions … How could it be ineffective?
But that was the truth.
"Sigh … Break!"
Chi chi! Chi chi! Chi chi chi!
Rumble … Rumble …
The brilliant sword light appeared again. Unlike the previous time, Chen Hao's sword light was weakened. He had to wave his sword a hundred times to break through the second level of punishment.
…
Chen Hao didn't understand. Everyone present, including Long Ting and Long Yi, didn't understand what was going on with Chen Hao. If he couldn't take the first level of punishment, the second level of punishment would definitely be a direct attack. There was no reason for him to take it head on. However, Chen Hao didn't only choose that, but he was also fine. Was he really strong? If he was really strong, he could continue to take it head on. However, Chen Hao broke through the punishment cloud again …
It was the same for the first two levels.
The third, the fourth … As the Heavenly Punishment of the Tribulation Clouds became stronger and stronger, Chen Hao continued to do the same. After enduring for a while, he would activate his sword light and perform his ultimate techniques continuously, destroying the Tribulation Clouds in one go. The fifth, sixth … Until the end of the ninth level of punishment, he didn't waste too much time and maintained a way that puzzled everyone.
"D * mn …"
Every single person, every time they passed the Heavenly Punishment and received the energy of the tribulation clouds, whether it was their physical body, soul, mental state, willpower, or comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Laws, they would all experience a qualitative improvement. Moreover, their spirit would be incomparably comfortable, and they would feel the excitement of being reborn. But this time … Chen Hao almost cursed out loud. Depressing, that was really depressing ….
The barrier between the peak of the Later Stage of the Human Celestial Stage and the Earth Celestial Stage collapsed instantly when the Heaven's Punishment ended. Chen Hao had successfully stepped into the Earth Celestial Stage. He could clearly feel that his strength had improved tremendously. But he was still unhappy, very unhappy … because he had only improved his True Core Stage. Other than that, he did not feel anything at all. The Divine Punishment just now was like a battle that did not hurt him at all. It was completely meaningless.
…
Chi chi!
Chen Hao directly turned into a stream of light and left gloomily without any pause.
At this moment, the practitioners in the whole Heaven Punishment Square began to discuss in a buzz. They were all confused and didn't understand why it was like this. It could be said that 99.9% of the people present were like Chen Hao. They didn't understand what was going on. Even the staff in the center of the alliance didn't understand. They had seen countless people trigger the punishment of heaven, but they had never seen such a strange and puzzling person …
However, when a knowledgeable Daluo Jinxian hidden in the center of the Heaven Punishment Square of the alliance appeared, he solved the doubts in everyone's hearts.
The Completion!
The mysterious young practitioner just now was a practitioner who triggered the punishment of heaven in the Completion state, which was rare in the cultivation world. The so-called Completion meant that Chen Hao's Human Celestial Stage had reached the Completion state. Even if he didn't trigger the punishment of heaven, he was basically a master in the Earth Celestial Stage. The only thing he lacked was a layer of membrane … a membrane that could be broken by a gentle poke … The only function of the punishment of heaven for him was to help him break that membrane. It didn't have any tempering effect on him. Because he had already tempered himself to the Completion of the Human Celestial Stage.
In the cultivation world, to be able to do this, basically any top genius could do it, but no one was stupid enough to do so. Because it was a complete waste of time and energy. In fact, as long as one had 80% Completion, they should trigger the punishment of heaven. Because through the punishment of heaven, they could directly temper themselves to the Completion state. Who would waste time tempering themselves to the Completion state before triggering the punishment of heaven? That would be crazy … After all, the Completion state was a complete waste of the punishment of heaven …
Daluo Jinxian's explanation quickly spread in the Heaven Punishment Square. After Long Ting and Long Yi heard it, their frowns and puzzled expressions turned into smiles …
Immediately, the two of them disappeared and hurried back to Vast Universe City.
…
However, Baili Ning Bing, who followed closely behind Chen Hao, didn't hear Daluo Jinxian's explanation.
"Hmph, this time, I must make you kneel in front of me and beg me! Beg me! "
Baili Ning Bing, who had changed her aura and restrained it to the extreme, relied on a wisp of extremely pure, extremely mysterious, and extremely weak rune aura to lock onto Chen Hao from afar and follow behind him. She suppressed the hatred that had accumulated in the depths of her heart and waited for an opportunity. She believed that this time, she would definitely be able to give Chen Hao an unforgettable lesson and wash away the hatred in her heart.
Kill Chen Hao? That would be letting him off too easily. Regardless of whether others thought of it or not, at least she had never thought of it. Chen Hao's "humiliation" to her was absolutely not something that could be repaid with death …
It had to be said that this woman was already extreme to the point of being incurable and stubborn to the point of madness. She simply couldn't be measured by ordinary people's thinking.
The reason she believed that she would be able to vent the hatred in her heart a little this time was firstly because her current strength was absolutely not something Chen Hao who'd just stepped foot into the Earthly Immortal Realm could compare to, and she was confident that she could fiercely trample on him beneath her feet. Secondly, she had a Divine Artifact with concealment and tracking attributes, which allowed her to have absolute information to silently follow Chen Hao and find an opportunity to vent her anger. This was also the Divine Artifact that she had given up all the tempting rewards from the Everlasting Sect after entering the Divine Temple. The purpose was to follow Long Ting, who was temporarily a little stronger than her, in order to obtain Chen Hao's whereabouts. Now, the opportunity had come, and it came very quickly …
…
Beep! Beep!
"Eh?"
While flying gloomily, Chen Hao, who had just entered the second world, received a message from Long Ting as soon as he entered.
"Brother Hao, congratulations on stepping into the ranks of the Earth Celestial Stage at the Perfection Stage!"
"What does this mean? I haven't even said anything, and the message came? And the Perfection Stage … "
Beep! Beep!
Chen Hao did not hesitate and immediately sent out a communication request.
"Hahaha … Brother Hao, congratulations, congratulations. You're really powerful. The aura of Divine Punishment is so strong, it's even stronger than mine back then … Unfortunately, you're at the Perfection Stage, so it's useless …"
"Ahem … Sister Ting, don't tell me you're coming over?" Chen Hao felt that Long Ting's words had a hidden meaning, and it was precisely what he did not understand.
"No, no, I'm so obedient. Why wouldn't I listen to you and come over …"
"Then how do you know about my situation?"
"This … I'm not telling you. Anyway, I just know … Hahaha … "Long Ting laughed proudly, staring at the image in her mind, her eyes dazed. She wanted so much to appear in front of Chen Hao. However, for the sake of the Promise of Ten Years, for the sake of better tempering both of them, for the sake of maximizing the effects of the medicine, and for the sake of not disrupting his state of mind and plans, she could only endure it … If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
