The moment the overwhelming aura that seemed capable of destroying Heaven and earth swept out, the sky above the Supreme Sword Dao Sect suddenly turned dark, looking very oppressive.At the same time, a huge maelstrom appeared at the center of the dark sky. Fierce winds blew and the huge trees in the surrounding mountain started to shake violently.
Their leaves began to float in all directions. The "clack" noises of huge trees getting broken were heard nonstop. It only took an instant for the atmosphere of the supreme Sword Dao Sect to change drastically.
Upon seeing this scene, the frightened old ancestor now became even more horrified as the thing he was afraid the most was happening. Nonetheless, he steeled his resolve as he continued to fly toward the direction of the core sect region.
After a few seconds, he managed to make it into the core sect region despite his overwhelming fear. He landed on the nearby mountain peak where he could see the tiny figure of Ling Chen surrounded by hundreds of dried corpses. Some of them were core sects disciples, while the others were elders.
The Supreme Sword Dao Sect only had a few hundred core disciples, and from the look of it, Ling Chen seemed to have to kill all of them in a short amount of time.
With his strength, slaughtering a few hundred core sect disciples was easy as chopping vegetables. None of them had the strength to withstand a single blow from him.
Furthermore, despite Ling Chen slaughtering almost every single core disciples of his sect who represented the future of his sect, the old ancestor didn"t dare to furiously attack him in order to get revenge.
The reason for this was simple, even though he was a little bit far away from Ling Chen, he could feel a fearsome and an incredible aura emanating from Ling Chen"s body.
Such terrifying aura far exceeded the scope of a Peak Martial Venerable warrior. Even someone like himself who was a Half-Saint powerhouse would crumble like dried weeds before Ling Chen"s heaven-defying aura.
At this moment, the old ancestor had realized that his greed had caused him to left a huge disaster behind. Even though Ling Chen didn"t suck his blood and life essence, the old ancestor suddenly looked twenty years older.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen stood calmly without moving in the middle of countless dried corpses while looking at the sky which had suddenly turned dark with a devious smile on his face.
Strangely enough, Ling Chen seemed to be antic.i.p.ating this as he said with an enigmatic smile on his face while looking at the dark sky: " You finally couldn"t wait anymore and showing your fangs"
Upon hearing Ling Chen"s words, The old ancestor who was watching Ling Chen from afar suddenly got scared s.h.i.+tless because he thought that Ling Chen had found out his location.
However, while the old ancestor was trying to figure whether Ling Chen was really talking to him or not, the maelstrom in the dark sky suddenly stopped spinning as it became a huge golden tribulation cloud that was flickering with flashes of lightning bolts.
The Golden Tribulation clouds filled the sky, and the countless bands of golden lightning, twisting about like snakes. The Tribulation clouds continued to roll, creating a continuous rumble of thunder. It exerted pressure on everything in the area directly below it.
"Rumble!" Each was as thick as a mountain range now with more than enough force to drill through the earth.
Upon seeing the golden Lightning bolts flashed in the sky, the old ancestor started to shake uncontrollably as he muttered with a shocking expression on his face " That"s not the Martial Saint"s tribulation, but a Heavenly Punishment!"
The expression on his face was as if he had just seen a ghost when he looked at the golden Lightning in the sky.
"Dammit, how could it be Heavenly Punishment? Just what did this guy do to offend the Heavens to invoke the legendary Heavenly Punishment like this!?"
Every warrior in the Great Luo World knew that one has to undergo a heavenly tribulation in order for one to become a Martial Saint Warrior. And unlike the other realms, the Martial Saint Realm was divided into nine stages, known as the Nine Heavenly Tribulation stages. Every time a Martial Saint broke though a stage, he had to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation and the Heavenly tribulation became stronger with each breakthrough.
However, legend has it that there was something even more frightening than the Heavenly tribulation and that was Heavenly punishment.
That golden heavenly thunder... was Heavenly Punishment.
This was the natural law of Heaven of this world. when there was a power that threatened the natural laws of the world or the existence of the Heaven and earth itself, there would be a punishment. More precisely, the Will of the world would try to eradicate that threat at any cost.
No matter who it was, as long as one was determined to have the possibility of endangering the stability of the world, they would utterly be eradicated.
Ling Chen"s sudden increase of strength had threatened the normal fluctuation of the laws of the world, therefore Heaven was trying to thunder down with golden lightning to completely destroy him.
Despite the frightening golden Lightning bolts flas.h.i.+ng in the sky, Ling Chen"s eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with excitement.
"Now, I would appreciate it if you could hurry the f.u.c.k up and give me your best shot. I"ll still have places to go to. Haha." Ling Chen said with a condescending look on his face as he was looking at the Golden punishment clouds in the sky.
His dark hair whipped around him, and his eyes filled with disdain as he laughed uproariously toward the Heavens.
At the same time, the energy in Ling Chen"s body immediately surged forth. In an instant, his body radiated a white light that covered his entire body at once, forming a protective energy cover.
Unlike his dark true Qi energy, this white light was similar to the power of light. It was filled with benevolence, love, holiness, and wisdom. Ling Chen didn"t look like his demonic self at all, but rather a celestial being.
The old ancestor smiled wryly. Anyone else would be stricken with fear before a heavenly punishment but Ling Chen seemed to be excited. Just how crazy was this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d?.
The old ancestor was also happy because he knew that Ling Chen"s death was a done deal the moment he was targeted by the Heavenly Punishment.
This was the punishment of this world.
It was like a curse that one could not escape from.
Meanwhile, Ling Chen"s behavior seemed to infuriate the heavenly punishment. Like the hammer of the thunder G.o.d, golden thunderbolts fiercely strike upon Ling Chen"s body.
Boom!
Under the fierce and powerful strike of the golden thunderbolts, Ling Chen"s protective energy cover was destroyed like paper as the golden Lightning bolts. .h.i.t his chest, leaving behind a large gaping hole and a burning smell.
However, the moment the large gaping hole appeared on his chest, it instantly healed.
"Haha, it"s this all got. I"m afraid you won"t be able to leave a scratch on me with that meager thunderbolt." Shouted Ling Chen as he was laughing like a madman while looking at the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" It seemed that the actual heavenly punishment above was enraged by his action. It sent down more lightning barrages, never resting until there was nothing left of him.
One golden lightning bolt after another began to form together and then fall down. The area for thirty meters around Ling Chen was transformed into a lake of golden lightning.
"It feels good, really good. Send me more you b.a.s.t.a.r.d." Yelled out, Ling Chen. He became very excited and treated the Heavenly Punishment like a feast
Every time he was injured by the golden Lightning bolts, the injuries instantly closed and healed themselves.
At the same time, the bones in his entire body emitted a series of clack noises. As the golden thunderbolt ran through his muscles and cells, a fairly large portion of its energy was gobbled up.

"Rumble!" The hostile golden lightning bolts were still attacking. Alas, they no longer could do anything to him. Instead of harming him, they served as nutrients to increase his power.
One could even hear the furious cry of the Heavenly punishment now. It maintained its h.e.l.lbent determination on taking Ling Chen down.
It sent down golden ocean after ocean of lightning towards him, wanting to drown him completely. The ground shook violently as the lightning slammed into it.
Witnessing this scene, the old ancestor was so frightened that he peed on himself. A Heavenly punishment was like this was enough to destroy both body and soul of any peak Martial Saint realm expert, yet that Heaven-defying punishment was being treated as a delicious meal by the little devil.
In fact, this was indeed a delicious feast for Ling Chen. Though it heavily injured his body earlier, the golden bolts have become a part of his body, increasing his power.
While Ling Chen was still bathing in golden Lightning, a tiny figure suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
"Little Lei!" Yelled out Ling Chen with a surprise expression on his face. At this moment Ling Lei looked like a one-year-old baby after eating all the medicinal pills and spiritual treasures that Ling Chen had given him.
"Mama, food. Yummy food," Shouted Ling Lei in his baby voice as he opened his little mouth, biting towards the golden Lightning and swallowing them
Seeing this, not mention the old ancestor, Even Ling Chen was shocked by this scene. While the Golden lightning was able to injure him, they didn"t leave a scratch on Ling Lei"s body.
Furthermore, every time his tiny body was. .h.i.t by the golden lightning, instead of dissipating, the golden Lightning bolts disappeared as they were swallowed by his body.
Not only he was swallowing the golden Lightning bolts with his mouth, but his little body was also like a sponge, swallowing the golden Lightning bolts as well while shouting excitedly; " Mama, yummy food. Yummy food."
At this moment, as though it possessed a consciousness of its own, the Heavenly Punishment seemed to be enraged and terrified. It couldn"t recall ever feeling this hopeless.
Originally, it should have been in a position above all other living things. Ling Chen was nothing but a puny mortal, a little ant. Yet, it couldn"t even squash that little ant with its divine Lightning.
Nonetheless, it wasn"t going to give up that easily.
At the same moment, an unspeakable pressure could be felt from up above. As the clouds contracted, it seemed as if they were now filling with unprecedented lightning of annihilation.
The lightning rumbled as the final collection of Heavenly punishment formed. Within the s.p.a.ce of about ten breaths, no more tribulation clouds could be seen in the sky. The only thing visible now was a giant golden palm made of countless golden Lightning bolts.
Upon examination, this ma.s.sive palm truly seemed incomparable and it contained a Heavenly destructive aura.
Fwoos.h.!.+
As the palm descended, Ling Chen could feel an unprecedented pressure. His body trembled for the first time. His feet were dug on the ground as he was being pushed down by the immense pressure.
The descended golden palm seemed capable of crus.h.i.+ng a mountain into nothing. Ling Chen felt as though he would be squished flat the moment the golden palm fell upon him.
" So, this is your final trump card." Said Ling Chen with an ugly look on his face while he was being pushed down by the sheer pressure of the golden palm.
"The same way you"re trying to destroy me, it"s the same way that"ll swallow you." roared out Ling Chen. He emanated an air viciousness and madness as he was looking at giant golden palm.
Rumbling filled the air as the giant Golden Palm began to fall down from the sky.
As it neared, the ground shook, shattering the mountain peaks of the core sect region, including the one the old ancestor was hiding.
While Ling Chen was about to release his true Qi energy to protect his body from the attack and sending Ling Lei back within his sea of consciousness, a small figure suddenly flew straight up into the sky toward the giant golden palm with a pair of dark wings on his back.
"Little Lei, come back." This sudden action caused Ling Chen"s eyes to grow wide from fear. Even he wasn"t sure that he could come out of this attack in one piece.
At this moment, Ling Chen was scared s.h.i.+tless for the first time. Without any hesitation, he quickly flew into the sky an attempt to capture and protect little Lei.
However, he was too late. Little Lei"s speed was as fast as lightning. Before Ling Chen could even catch him, Little Lei had already dove within the giant palm.
The moment the giant palm made contact with Ling Lei"s body, it suddenly closed on itself like a giant fist with Ling Lei inside as it continued to fall down in order to squash Ling Chen.
Boom!
"Little Lei." Yelled out Ling Chen in anguish when he saw that scene. To him, there"s no way Ling Lei could survive that.
However, something amazing happened. Even when Little Lei was swallowed by the giant golden Lightning palm, Ling Chen could still feel the connection with him, which meant that he didn"t die. Also, instead of the connection getting weaker, it was getting stronger by the second which meant that Ling Lei was strangely getting stronger while inside the golden palm.
" Huh." Looking at the giant golden fist descended from the sky, Ling Chen couldn"t help but exclaimed in surprise. And that was because he found out that the giant golden fist made of golden Lightning was getting smaller and smaller as it descended. It was as it was being eaten away from the inside by something.
By the time the golden giant fist made it to the ground, all the golden Lightning bolts had already disappeared and what appeared in its place was a seven years old little boy with giant dark wings shrouded with dark Lightning on his back, as well as a small pair of horns on his forehead.
"That was a really delicious meal." shouted the little boy in a childish voice as he licked his lips with an exciting and satisfied look on his face.
"Now, I"m sleepy." He added before he fell on the ground unconscious.
