Chapter 590 - 418: Total Annihilation, the Might of a Tribulation Crossing Expert

Bam bam bam—

In the next instant, countless Thunderbolt Arrows blasted straight into Huang Peng.

With a violent explosion, Huang Peng was sent flying, his whole body charred and blackened.

Even though a Mahayana Stage powerhouse has a tough body, facing the bombardment of Celestial Thunder, they’ll still suffer grave wounds.

Huang Peng, knocked backwards, crashed heavily to the ground. Just as he tried to get up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing things take such a turn, the remaining powerhouses were unwilling to die here, and erupted with their final bit of strength, planning to fight Lin Chang’sheng to the death.

But Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of wasting his Primordial Power on them; he signaled to Xiaonan to deal with them.

Xiaonan directly transformed into her Spirit Beast form, her Three-headed Ice and Fire Python body rampaging among those trapped in the Grand Array—like a wolf among sheep—leaving them no chance to fight back.

In just the time it took a stick of incense to burn, all were slain.

After they died, their Divine Souls were imprisoned within the array. Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand, summoning the Celestial Soul Banner and swept them all inside.

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t let the bodies go to waste, either—they were perfect for refining Corpse Puppets.

Now at the Early Stage of Integration, Lin Chang’sheng could use the Divine Corpse Technique to refine Mahayana Stage Corpse Puppets.

...

Celestial Emperor City.

At the same time, Lin Chang’sheng was slaughtering the enemies.

Wu Hao, seated in the Imperial Palace Hall, was waiting for good news from Huang Peng and the others.

He thought sending out three Mahayana Stage powerhouses would easily crush Lin Chang’sheng and let him reclaim the Holy Pill.

But after waiting for ages, suddenly three blood-colored birds darted into the hall from outside.

Wu Hao’s heart skipped a beat; he waved his hand, collecting the blood birds into his palm.

When Wu Hao looked down, he realized all three messages carried calls for help.

"What? Even three Mahayana Stage powerhouses couldn’t kill one Integration Cultivator, and instead got trapped?"

Wu Hao’s fury erupted—he’d never run into this kind of situation before.

If word of this got out, it’d be the ultimate disgrace for his Celestial Emperor City.

This was something Wu Hao absolutely didn’t want to see.

"Father, you mean Uncle Huang and the others couldn’t defeat Lin Chang’sheng? Their lives are in danger? How—how is that possible?"

Wu Yue was also utterly shocked.

No matter how strong someone in the Integration Stage is, they shouldn’t be able to take on Mahayana Stage powerhouses!

"I’ll go myself—I’ll kill Lin Chang’sheng no matter what. Otherwise, if that kid grows up, our Celestial Emperor City may not last!"

Wu Hao tossed out his words, transformed into a streak of light, and shot out of the palace toward Lin Chang’sheng’s location.

...

Right now, Lin Chang’sheng had just finished stowing away the Grand Array.

He immediately sensed an immense pressure surging out from Celestial Emperor City, heading right for him.

"Couldn’t hold back anymore, huh?"

Lin Chang’sheng had expected this; with a wave, he summoned the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle and leapt on, soaring toward the heavens, disappearing into the sky.

The Lightning Thunderclap Eagle could travel thirty thousand miles a day—not slow by any means.

But compared to a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse, its speed couldn’t compete.

Lin Chang’sheng could still feel Wu Hao closing in rapidly.

"Lin Chang’sheng, you’ve got some nerve!"

A furious roar came from the sky behind; the overwhelming pressure made Lin Chang’sheng’s heart shudder—even the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle trembled and its flying speed plummeted.

It showed just how terrifying a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator’s aura was.

If he got caught, Lin Chang’sheng would be dead for sure.

Even the Qiankun Godslaying Celestial Array couldn’t trap a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse.

Against a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, Lin Chang’sheng could use the Qiankun Godslaying Celestial Array and Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure to put up a fight.

But up against Tribulation Crossing Stage, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t even have the strength to look the other in the eye, let alone fight back.

So there was only one option: run as far as possible.

Seeing the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle was still too slow, Lin Chang’sheng was forced to carve a Teleportation Array to escape.

Buzz—

But halfway through, an overwhelming pressure swept over—locking even the surrounding space itself—instantly shattering the array Lin Chang’sheng was carving.

"What the..."

Lin Chang’sheng’s heart lurched—is this the true power of a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse?

Within the area covered by their Divine Thought, even space could be sealed off?

A Mahayana cultivator’s Divine Sense could cover tens of thousands of miles.

This Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator’s Divine Thought must reach almost a hundred thousand miles.

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t use the Teleportation Array, and the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle was too slow.

Lin Chang’sheng frowned deeply—if this kept up, he’d get caught sooner or later.

"Where are you running?"

In the next instant, before the figure arrived, a shout rang out behind Lin Chang’sheng.

Lin Chang’sheng looked back to see an enormous Palm Seal, like five mighty mountain ranges, crashing toward him.

With nowhere to dodge, Lin Chang’sheng could only summon the Blood Jade Bracelet in defense.

The Blood Jade Bracelet expanded in the wind, turning into a giant, circular mountain range, sealing Lin Chang’sheng inside.

Rumble—

In the next moment, the golden Five-finger Mountain Range smashed into the Blood Jade Bracelet, creating a deafening roar.

The powerful impact sent Lin Chang’sheng and the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle hurtling into the ground, flattening all the mountains nearby.

Once Lin Chang’sheng struggled to his feet, the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle was severely wounded; Lin Chang’sheng waved it back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

When he looked up again, Wu Hao was already standing not far in front of him.

Wu Hao was surrounded by golden light, looking like a divine being descended to earth—holy and majestic.

"You’ve got some nerve, daring to kill my ministers!"

Wu Hao’s cold voice was full of murderous intent.

On the way over, he’d already learned that Huang Peng and the others were all dead.

"How can you blame me? I wanted peace with you, offered compensation in Immortal Crystal Elixirs—but you treated me like an enemy, tried to hunt me down! Killing them was the only thing I could do!"

Lin Chang’sheng shot back.

The pressure from this Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator was overwhelming; his Divine Thought covered Lin Chang’sheng, making it hard for Lin Chang’sheng to even lift his hand, let alone fight.

"What a joke. If you’d just married my daughter, none of this would’ve happened. But now it’s too late—I’ll pay you back for this grudge with your life!"

Wu Hao, words falling cold, slowly raised his palm. His five fingers curled, and an immense force burst forth.

Clearly intending to crush Lin Chang’sheng.

In seconds, Lin Chang’sheng felt the space around him controlled by Wu Hao, compressing madly.

Crack crack crack—

Lin Chang’sheng could even hear his own body popping under the pressure, like he might shatter at any moment.

Luckily his body was tough—otherwise, Wu Hao would’ve crushed him in an instant.

Xiaonan saw Lin Chang’sheng about to die and struck out, launching ice and fire attacks at Wu Hao again and again.

But a golden Elemental Shield instantly formed around Wu Hao.

The attacks did absolutely nothing.

Instead, Wu Hao waved his hand; a surging wave of Primordial Power slammed Xiaonan away, crashing her heavily into the distant rocks, blood flooding her mouth.

Just showed how unfathomably strong a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator was.

Lin Chang’sheng and Xiaonan were powerless against Wu Hao.

Just as Lin Chang’sheng felt death closing in, he suddenly noticed Wu Hao’s force in his hand weakened a little.

The area began to fill with a bone-chilling cold, making Lin Chang’sheng break out in goosebumps.

Wu Hao felt the icy blast as well.

He turned to see a cold and beautiful woman, radiating extreme cold, appearing behind him.

"Who are you?"

Wu Hao’s aura didn’t recede as he demanded.

"Let him go!"

Only three icy words answered Wu Hao.

"And if I say no?"

Wu Hao’s killer intent was set—he wouldn’t stop just because someone appeared.

This woman’s aura was as strong as his, maybe even stronger with her Power of Cold Ice—but he had no intention of letting Lin Chang’sheng go.

If he let this kid grow up, Celestial Emperor City would be doomed.

"You can try! If he dies, I’ll bury your entire city with him!"

The woman’s freezing words rang out again, every syllable laced with deadly chill.

Wu Hao hesitated instantly at her words.

He didn’t doubt her power in the slightest; he could feel it—she too was a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse.

He had no idea what her relationship was with Lin Chang’sheng, but he was sure: if he killed Lin Chang’sheng, she would seek vengeance.

The life of an entire city for one Lin Chang’sheng—didn’t seem like a fair trade.
