Chapter 158: Deceiving the Heavenly Tribulation!
Instantly, Ye Chen’s sword pierced through the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s heart.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster looked at Ye Chen in extreme shock. He could not understand how he could be defeated by someone at the early stage of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He looked at Ye Chen in extreme shock, and his face revealed an extremely terrified expression.
“How is this possible…who exactly are you? How can you have such powerful strength?”
Ye Chen looked at him calmly and did not say anything.
However, Ye Chen was somewhat interested in this old man’s memories.
This Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster had gone through three tribulations, and Ye Chen should be going through the tribulations in a few years. Therefore, Ye Chen wanted to see how this old man had failed the tribulations and did not die.
Ye Chen stabbed the Grandmaster with his sword.
At this moment, the Grandmaster was extremely terrified.
Countless bugs fell to the ground. Ye Chen used the Nanming Primordial Fire to burn all the bugs.
Ye Chen grabbed the Grandmaster’s neck and asked indifferently, “How did you survive the three tribulations?”
The Grandmaster looked at Ye Chen with a cold smile and said, “I know that you are a ruthless person. The Zhang family was exterminated by you. Therefore, even if I tell you, you will still kill me, right?”
Ye Chen looked at the old man. It had to be said that the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall had a thorough understanding.
Even if he got the answer, he would not let the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall live.
“Humph, do you think that I won’t know if you don’t tell me?” Ye Chen said indifferently.
At this moment, the Grandmaster’s face revealed a shocked expression. He looked at Ye Chen and hurriedly asked, “You…what do you want to do?”
Ye Chen looked into the eyes of the Hundred Herb Hall’s old ancestor and indifferently said, “Soul search!”
Immediately, Ye Chen entered the memories of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster.
Ye Chen was not interested in the other memories of this Grandmaster. What he was interested in was why this Grandmaster survived three heavenly tribulations and what was the Heavenly Tribulation?
Ye Chen directly found the Grandmaster’s memories.
The Grandmaster’s first tribulation was when he was three hundred years old.
Three hundred years of tribulation was normally quite normal.
The old ancestor had prepared everything.
Then, he put a medicinal elixir in his mouth.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to transcend the tribulation.
Rolling thunderbolts struck the Grandmaster’s body. Instantly, the Grandmaster’s surroundings were filled with thunderbolts. Ten thousand feet of thunderbolts struck the Grandmaster’s body continuously.
However, these tens of thousands of feet of thunderbolts were merely ordinary tribulation lightning power. They were similar to the divine sword lightning controlling true art that Ye Chen had released.
The tens of thousands of feet of thunderbolts struck the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster until his entire body was charred black. However, they did not take the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s life.
At this moment, an explosive sound could be heard in the sky.
Suddenly, an intense thunderbolt power struck down and struck the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s body.
Boom —
Endless Bolts of lightning landed on his body.
Bang —
A loud sound rang out.
His body instantly cracked open, and fresh blood continuously flowed out from the cracks.
Only now did the Hundred Herb Hall Grandmaster understand that he could not even withstand a single strike from the true lightning tribulation.
He immediately bit the medicinal elixir in his mouth.
In an instant, his entire body stiffened, and he became like a dead person as he fell to the ground. The lightning in the sky seemed to have grown eyes, and it looked as if the Hundred Herb Hall Grandmaster was dead, so…the lightning also stopped.
Ye Chen was a little surprised.
What kind of medicine did the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster take?
As time passed, the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s body slowly regained its ruddy color. Then, his aura returned to his body.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster slowly woke up and began to recuperate.
At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to have understood something.
The medicinal elixir in the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s mouth was not right.
Ye Chen continued to look down.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster cultivated for another three hundred years.
It was also when he was six hundred years old that he recovered from all his injuries. Then, he held another medicinal elixir in his mouth and prepared for the second tribulation.
It was the same this time. First, it was an ordinary lightning tribulation.
With the experience of the first tribulation, this time, the ordinary lightning tribulation did not hurt him at all.
Next, it was the thick lightning tribulation.
The lightning tribulation that was as thick as a bucket landed on the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s body.
Rumble —
Rolling power descended.
The power that filled the sky continuously roared on the Grandmaster’s body.
He withstood the first lightning tribulation.
Then, immediately after, the second lightning tribulation descended.
However, when it came to the second lightning tribulation…
He still could not withstand it.
He once again bit the medicinal elixir in his mouth, and then his entire body stiffened. The aura on his body was completely gone, and he became like a dead person.
Then came the Grandmaster’s third lightning tribulation.
This time, the Grandmaster survived the first lightning tribulation, and the second lightning tribulation…
However, when it came to the third lightning tribulation, the Grandmaster still could not withstand it. In the end, he still bit the medicinal elixir and entered a state of suspended animation, once again avoiding the tribulation.
Ye Chen looked at the memories of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster, and his heart was somewhat shocked.
It seemed that this Grandmaster had relied on that medicinal elixir to enter a state of suspended animation, using it to deceive the Heavenly Tribulation. Only then was he able to avoid the tribulation.
