After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Just like that, he became a cultivator of the upper four realms?

Jiang Chen was somewhat bewildered.

Indeed, he had wanted to take advantage of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s support to earn some system rewards from the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor, but he hadn’t expected that this time the reward would be a direct promotion to a cultivator of the upper four realms.

This was rather too hasty.

One must know that a Core Formation cultivator breaking through to the upper four realms would seek an extremely quiet place to retreat and slowly guide the transformation of their Core Formation into a nascent soul!

But at this moment, he was right next to a teleportation array surrounded by cultivators.

So, this is definitely not the best place for a breakthrough!

He was completely unprepared.

The moment the system text appeared, the spiritual energy around him had already become violent, rushing into his body non-stop.

Seeing this.

“Is this… a breakthrough to the upper four realms?!” The Jiuyan Old Ancestor exclaimed in shock.

“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was horrified.

He couldn’t understand.

Just a second ago, Jiang Chen’s aura was stable, with no sign of a breakthrough.

How could it be that a breakthrough was happening after just a couple of show-off retorts to him? And it was a leap of such magnitude?

What’s more important was a cultivator of the upper four realms of such a young age was extremely rare even in the Upper Domain!

“Is… is this the Human Sacred Body?” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor’s eyes were filled with a cold light.

His reason told him that the talent Jiang Chen displayed was too monstrous, and such a person could not be allowed to stay.

But after glancing at the Jiuyan Old Ancestor and others who were watching him coldly…

“If you dare to make a move, you will die.” The Jiuyan Old Ancestor was blunt.

Su E was growing increasingly fond of Jiang Chen and stated her position: “As my husband is about to break through, it is my duty to protect him!”

“Shameless ghost woman,” Xiao Hongyi immediately scoffed.

“Have you ever seen a ghost that needed a face?” Su E retorted without anger.

Xiao Hongyi didn’t reply, just shook her head with a sneer.

“Haha! Worthy of being the young master! Such talent is comparable to the family head in his youth!” Chen Sheng laughed arrogantly.

Ever since the Mysterious Ice Realm appeared, Nangong Jiuxi had been taken aside by two Old Ancestors of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect and was being strictly protected.

Now seeing Jiang Chen about to break through, Nangong Jiuxi was both happy and worried.

She was happy because the man she fancied was indeed extraordinary.

But her worry was that Jiang Chen’s strength and cultivation far surpassed hers, and if this continued, she might not even qualify to stand by Jiang Chen’s side.

“I must return to the sect to retreat!” she murmured.

Hearing this, the two Old Ancestors of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect expressed their relief.

Both admired Jiang Chen’s talent, but they cared more about the prodigy of their own sect.

Even so, they still cast a wary glance at the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.

“Alas!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor sighed.

He was very certain that if he made a move now, he would definitely be the one to die.

If there was anyone to blame, it could only be the injustice of the heavens!

How could heaven let the demonic path produce such a monstrous talent?

Withdrawing his gaze, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor turned and left.

This made the Jiuyan Old Ancestor and others breathe a sigh of relief.

If not necessary, he didn’t want to fight with the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor, not out of fear, but because he was worried it would affect Jiang Chen’s breakthrough.

Seeing that there were still many cultivators around, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor immediately used his cultivation to declare: “A disciple of the Jiuyan Demonic Sect is breaking through, bystanders retreat!”

His voice boomed, causing everyone who heard it to tremble.

In just an instant, Jiang Chen and his people were left alone at the previously crowded teleportation array exit.

“A breakthrough of such magnitude requires an absolutely quiet environment. Let’s move further away,” the Jiuyan Old Ancestor told the others.

The others nodded and very tacitly moved a hundred steps away.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was indeed at a critical period of his breakthrough.

Although the system could directly elevate his cultivation level, it had not transformed his Core Formation directly into a nascent soul.

The good news was Jiang Chen had been through nine cycles of reincarnation and had broken through to the upper four realms several times.

Although unprepared this time, he still skillfully used his experience to control the spiritual energy.

The boundless spiritual energy under his control converged at the Purple Mansion like a vast ocean, continuously striking the suspended Core Formation.

Everything was going smoothly, but the unexpected happened at the moment the Core Formation was about to be sublimated and transformed into a nascent soul.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a suppression.

A suppression from the heavens!

This suppression was strange. Although it is as heavy as a thousand jin and enough to make the spiritual energy stagnate, it also opens a door and allowing him to break through this door.

Jiang Chen knew that the heavens were not so kind-hearted to him, but with the breakthrough imminent, he had no choice but to guide the spiritual energy, knock on the door, and wash over his Core Formation with even more force.

Suddenly, there was a “crack” sound.

A crack appeared in his Core Formation, and then, like an eggshell, it began to peel away, revealing a phantom figure that looked identical to Jiang Chen but appeared much younger.

This was the nascent soul!

“Success!”

Jiang Chen was overjoyed, but just as he was about to consolidate his cultivation in silence, thunder rumbled in the sky, and dark clouds quickly gathered overhead!

“Boom!”

“Boom!!”

A purple thunderbolt struck down from the sky, aiming directly at the top of Jiang Chen’s head!

Sensing the danger, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

His first reaction was that the heavens wanted to suppress him again, hence the divine punishment.

But soon, he realized something was amiss.

Although this purple thunderbolt seemed powerful, it also carried a rich vitality, as if…”Thunder Tribulation?” Jiang Chen was astonished.

Before his transmigration, he had read many fantasy and cultivation novels, so he naturally knew about the existence of Thunder Tribulation.

But he clearly remembered that cultivators in this world do not need to transcend tribulations when they break through.

So why does he have to transcend a tribulation?

After a brief moment of panic, Jiang Chen quickly came to a realization.

The reason other cultivators do not need to transcend tribulations is that they cultivate in accordance with heaven.

People like Xiao Hongyi, although mad and rebellious, have not yet reached the limits imposed by heaven with her cultivation, so she is still within the bounds of cultivating in accordance with heaven.

But he is different.

He is the great villain designated by heaven, and in terms of cultivation, he has broken through heaven’s suppression multiple times.

He is truly cultivating against heaven!

Going against heaven naturally comes with a price, and this Thunder Tribulation might just be heaven’s punishment!

If he successfully transcends it, his cultivation will rise.

Otherwise, his soul will be utterly destroyed!

Jiang Chen has no experience with transcending tribulations.

Although he read many novels before transmigrating, the methods of transcending tribulations in them were not the same.

Some withstand the thunder with their bodies, using it to temper their physical form, while others use spiritual tools to resist the thunder, focusing on just getting through…

At this moment, he has no idea which method is the correct one to use.

Helpless, Jiang Chen could only look towards the distant Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.

“???”

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor was startled and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, carrying a sky full of thunder, Jiang Chen actually ran towards him.

“What… what are you doing?!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor panicked.

“You help me withstand the Thunder Tribulation first, I need to summarize some experience!” Jiang Chen shouted.

Damn it!!!

I withstand the thunder, and you summarize the experience?

Listen to this, does it make sense?

Without any hesitation, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor turned and ran.

But he had only taken a few steps when a jade coffin appeared in front of him.

Before he could defend himself, he was struck by the coffin and sent flying several zhang away, landing precisely within the Thunder Tribulation circle.

At the same time, the purple thunder struck the ground.

“Boom!”

By some coincidence or not, it struck right on top of the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor’s head!

“Hmm, it seems that this Thunder Tribulation automatically targets the strongest person within the tribulation circle…” Jiang Chen nodded, beginning to summarize his experience.
