Chapter 2263: Black Rain Tribulation and Blood Tribulation

The Heavenly Dao would unleash nine tribulations, each of which was formidably powerful.

Right now, they were facing the Black Rain Tribulation of the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao.

Countless drops of ink-like rain poured down from the sky, pitter-pattering onto the earth. The devastating energy contained within these raindrops left the earth pockmarked and disfigured.

However, the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace had a protective light barrier that could block these powerful raindrops.

The black rain continued to lash at the black and white spear that was pierced into the sky. Cyril was still tightly gripping onto this spear, yet his hand was trembling slightly. It was clear that he was under immense pressure.

Meanwhile, Chen Chen was bathing in the black rain as he stood high in the sky. As the devastatingly powerful raindrops landed on his jet-black hair and delicate face, they did no damage at all, sliding off instead as if they were just ordinary raindrops. They were as obedient as children.

Chen Chen extended a hand to catch the black raindrops.

“This black rain is birthed by the heavens, and its destiny is the earth.

“The journey that it takes is like the unending path of Dao…

“From where the heavens begin? From where is Dao? To where will the rain cease? To where does Dao end?”

Chen Chen sighed softly as he gazed at the black rain around him.

If they couldn’t defeat this Black Rain Tribulation, it was very likely that this tribulation would continue forever. After all, each raindrop represented a Dao that existed amid heaven and earth. Yet… was there a limit to the number of Dao?

Chen Chen understood that the black and white Heaven Crushing Spear would definitely be affected by the black rain. Similarly, the core heaven-crushing spell formation in the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace would also be affected by the black rain. The power of humans was finite, yet the power of Dao was infinite. This black rain could continue for all eternity…

If Chen Chen couldn’t defeat this tribulation in a timely manner, the difficulty of crushing the heavens would rise by an exponential degree.

However, he was like an unmoving statue as he continued to gaze at the pouring black rain.

The powerful beings inside the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace started to become extremely tense and anxious.

“What’s Heavenly Disciple Chen Chen doing?”

“Why isn’t he moving?”

“Nothing’s wrong, right…?”

The black raindrops possessed a devastating power. Although Chen Chen wasn’t wounded by the raindrops, this didn’t signify that he didn’t need to expend energy to block these raindrops. By standing there unmoving, wasn’t he pointlessly wasting his own energy?

Xue Yan gracefully flew out of the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace.

She then cast a glance at Chen Chen before extending a dainty and jade-like hand to catch one of the black raindrops. This back raindrop was in complete contrast with her pure and pale skin.

“Rain is birthed by the heavens, and its destiny is earth. Yet in this process, each raindrop possesses the ability to undergo infinite transformations. Each looks the same, yet each is unique.” Xue Yan lightly flicked her hand, causing the black raindrops in her surroundings to condense into small flakes of snow that drifted through the sky.

Chen Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Xue Yan gazed up at Chen Chen, and there was a rare feeling of warmth in her pure and ice-cold blue eyes.

Chen Chen looked toward Xue Yan and said with a faint smile, “Each of them is unique and eternal, so I must cherish them all.”

Black raindrops continued to accumulate and fall from the fractures in the sky. Heaven and earth were experiencing a peculiar rainfall, with the stretch of black rain vast and boundless.

A white halo suddenly erupted from Chen Chen’s body before gradually spreading outward.

Regardless of whether it was the black raindrops or the sky, all of them would be engulfed and obliterated upon entering this halo of light. It was as if they had fallen into another dimension.

“Spotless Realm,” Xue Yan said softly. There was a glimmer in her beautiful eyes.

The Spotless Realm was Chen Chen’s absolute domain, and it was a reflection of the universe that existed within Chen Chen.

One lifeform could be a universe, one cell could be a universe, and one particle of dust could also be a universe. There was no concept of high-level or low-level, and there was no concept of large or small. Each would appear as magnificent as another.

This was what Chen Chen had once told Xue Yan.

The Spotless Realm represented a notion of absolute fairness and equilibrium. This was a world where all matter and all Dao were in absolute equilibrium.

At this moment, the white halo started to expand and expand again, eventually enveloping all areas of heaven and earth that could be seen with the naked eye. Everything that was enveloped by this white halo disappeared.

They had all entered Chen Chen’s peculiar dimension.

The black rain in the sky continued to stubbornly fall. However, after being comprehensively obstructed, it was as if a flawless and harmonious cycle had been forcefully stopped. Life started to creep toward death, and reincarnation was also obstructed. Dao was also terminated.

There was an indiscernible whimper.

The ink-like raindrops then started to vanish from the fractures in the sky.

“Look! The black rain has disappeared!”

“Did Heavenly Disciple Chen Chen do this? What’s his white halo? It looks so powerful…”

The powerful beings of the Heaven Crushing Sect started to exclaim in admiration.

In their eyes, the appearance of Chen Chen’s white halo had immediately absorbed all of the black raindrops from the sky. Everything had occurred in such a rapid and tranquil manner. In fact, they were completely unable to comprehend just how dangerous and alarming Chen Chen’s exchange with the Heavenly Dao had been.

However, before Chen Chen could even breathe a sigh of relief, a deafening explosion in the sky caused him to immediately tense up again. He could see a bloody and skinless head before the fractures in the sky. This was the head of a Godfiend that was purely formed from flesh.

This head cracked a silent grin at Chen Chen.

A devastating aura instantly swept through heaven and earth.

All of the powerful beings in the Heaven Crushing Glazed Palace suddenly felt a stifling pressure bearing down on them, making it extremely difficult to breathe. They could only gaze on in awe and stunned silence.

Chen Chen’s expression changed slightly.

“Second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao, Blood Tribulation.”

The fleshy head in the sky started to slowly descend, becoming larger and larger in Chen Chen’s eyes. This head was still smiling, and as its muscles stretched, bright red blood flowed from the folds in its face like a towel being wrung. Heaven and earth were suffused with a monstrous aura.

However, Chen Chen was unfazed by this daunting aura.

He remained silent and unmoving as he gazed at the head that was edging closer and closer and becoming more and more contorted.

However, Xue Yan was unable to withstand this bloody head. As it edged closer and closer, she discovered that her originally calm and aloof emotion had now become one of fright and unease.

“Die, die, die!” She suddenly extended an arm, sending countless snow-white ice blades roaring toward the head in the sky. These ice blades transformed into giant blue dragons as they tore through the sky.

The might of these blue dragons was formidable, yet they were like exploding bubbles as they viciously slammed into the colossal head. The energy contained within these blue dragons transformed into flakes of white snow before raining down from the sky.

“How is this possible? My full-power attack was instantly decomposed?!” There was a look of unconcealable shock on Xue Yan’s flawless and exquisite face. Terror started to flood her mind again.

Flee, I have to flee! Otherwise, I’ll definitely die!

This became the only thought in her mind.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chen’s expression instantly became gentle and soft.

Falling flakes of white snow, falling drops of red blood.

This was clearly a monstrous and daunting aura.

Yet he spread both of his arms apart.

“White snow flutters like butterflies; blood tears stain like rhododendrons… I understand, you’re probably not the embodiment of terror. Rather, you represent pain and fury. Thus, you yearn to destroy all those who near you and attempt to destroy you…”

Chen Chen flew toward the colossal and smiling head.

“Since that’s the case, let me endure all of your pain and fury.”

Chen Chen didn’t hesitate as he comprehensively fused into the colossal head in front of everyone, causing all of them to look with stunned expressions. His body vanished from view.
