Chapter 170: Chapter 158: Destruction Divine Thunder! Celestial Doctor ’Seal’ Mark!
Chang Qing was young, but he had read extensively, knowing all sorts of secrets in the world.
Yet, even so, the scene before him far exceeded his understanding.
In fact... such a phenomenon should not happen at all.
There are tribulations in the world, but these tribulations come only when advancing to the King’s Realm.
Simultaneously, a tribulation is both a challenge and an opportunity; once overcome, one’s strength will surge.
But what Su Changqing encountered now was not a heavenly tribulation, but Celestial Fury!
A heavenly tribulation can be overcome, as it’s merely a test of the heavens.
But Celestial Fury signifies heavenly wrath, giving no chance for survival to the one enduring it.
Even Chang Qing had only seen sparse mentions of such events in ancient texts.
"In ancient times, an unparalleled fiend slaughtered life in a domain just to prove his imperial path."
"Blood flowed like rivers, corpses were piled everywhere. Trillions of souls cried out, invoking heavenly wrath."
"The Heavenly Dao descended nine bolts of world-destroying thunder, instantly obliterating the fiend on the verge of proving his path..."
Remembering the records in the texts, Chang Qing swallowed hard, and looked up stiffly at Su Changqing’s head above, where countless world-destroying divine thunders gathered.
The fiend back then slaughtered life in a domain, with billions of bones, and the Heavenly Dao only descended nine world-destroying divine thunders.
But Su Changqing...
This was not just nine, but countless, seemingly intending to destroy all of heaven and earth!
Moreover, the killing intent in the heavens was still intensifying, not just looming over the Wu family, but covering the entire South Region under boundless dark clouds.
"Chang Qing... what heaven-shocking and earth-infuriating thing did you do that left the Heavenly Dao without a shred of mercy for you."
"Even... wanting to take the entire South Region with it?"
Looking at Su Changqing, Chang Qing only felt his scalp go numb and his body tremble.
At this moment, not just him, but all life in the South Region was trembling and looking up at the sky about to fall.
Numerous elders from various sacred grounds, members of the Little Immortal Sect, Domain Master Su Nan...
Everyone looked skyward with shock, not daring to move half an inch.
"What is happening..."
At this moment, the instigator, Su Changqing, was also numb.
He looked at the endless thunders, knowing that even a sliver falling would mean inevitable death, a Celestial Doctor couldn’t save him.
And at the center of the endless thunders, nine mysterious needles were already in their final fusion.
It was a character emitting dark light, ancient and profound with Dao patterns, sealed!
Su Changqing could clearly feel that once the ’seal’ character fully fused, it would be when the divine thunder fell.
"Right... the Heaven-Covering Array..."
Suddenly, Su Changqing’s eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, an ancient array map appeared behind him, shrouding the heavens and earth with dark light.
Instantly, the heavenly mechanism became chaotic, and the dark light isolated everything outside.
Rumble...
The intertwined world-destroying divine thunder paused for a moment, as if the locked target had suddenly vanished, unable to find direction.
The divine thunder roared and howled for a while before gradually dissipating with the dark clouds.
Swoosh!
At this moment, the nine mysterious needles completely fused, and an ancient and dark ’seal’ character Dao pattern fell onto Su Changqing’s forehead.
"Phew..."
Su Changqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, muttering softly,
"No wonder the Sealing Needle technique has to merge with the Heaven-Covering Array to condense the Lifebound Dao Seal."
"Without the ability to cover the heavens, the day of sealing would be the day of downfall."
Thinking of this, Su Changqing couldn’t suppress his curiosity, and waved his hand to manifest the ’seal’ character Dao seal.
Of course, during the moment of taking the seal, the Heaven-Covering Array was always enveloping his body.
Looking at the ’seal’ character Dao pattern emitting dark light in his hand, Su Changqing couldn’t help but show confusion.
Unlike other Lifebound Dao Seals, this seal character Dao seal seemed nothing unusual, looking rather ordinary.
"How to use this?"
Su Changqing showed contemplation, then reached out to grasp the seal character Dao seal in mid-air.
Swoosh.
Dark light flashed, the Dao seal vanished, and a dark ’seal’ materialized on the back of his hand.
Su Changqing felt peculiar, throwing a simple punch.
But in an instant, his face turned pale, swiftly stopping.
At the moment of punching, his internal vital energy surged out like floodwaters, wildly pouring out.
In the blink of an eye, his abundant vital energy disappeared entirely.
"This..."
Looking at the punch without any momentum, Su Changqing couldn’t help but show astonishment.
The consumption was so huge, yet there was no killing power at all?
"Enough, I’ll ponder it slowly later."
Su Changqing shook his head, lifting his somewhat weakened body, walking out of the valley.
However, he did not notice.
In the small area where he had just punched, the wind stopped, the dust settled, and even time and space were frozen there, unshakable.
This state remained unchanged even after Su Changqing turned to leave.
As if... a piece of the complete world was missing...
...
Outside the valley.
The Wu family members were slick with cold sweat, still not fully recovered from the previous fear.
Seeing Su Changqing approaching, many instinctively showed fear and took a step back.
Wu De suppressed his inner terror, looking at Su Changqing and hesitating to speak:
"Nephew Changqing, earlier that was..."
He was quite knowledgeable, but this kind of terrifying situation was his first experience.
"I had a little mishap in my cultivation, it’s nothing." Su Changqing casually waved and smiled.
He didn’t understand what celestial tribulation was, nor what Celestial Fury meant.
In his view, although the momentum was a bit intense, these elders should be used to such things?
Upon hearing Su Changqing’s words, Wu De and the Wu family members all twitched their lips.
A little... mishap?
That was not a little mishap, the gathered divine thunder earlier could have destroyed the entire South Region.
Wu De gave a deep look at Su Changqing and didn’t ask further.
The world is vast and full of wonders, which peerless geniuses don’t have secrets?
If one digs too deep, inevitably the other party might misunderstand.
"Changqing, don’t use that Dao seal in front of others again."
Chang Qing said nothing more, but his voice was grave as he sent a message.
Invoking Celestial Fury, if manipulated by those with intent, Su Changqing could indeed become everyone’s enemy.
Although he didn’t know the specifics, why the Heavenly Dao was so hostile to Su Changqing.
He guessed maybe it was an issue with a mysterious inheritance that Su Changqing possessed.
Thinking of the scene with the mysterious needles, Chang Qing’s eyes glimmered.
"Is it the Celestial Doctor..."
...
"Hahaha, why are you all making such dead fish faces, didn’t we just win greatly!"
Compared to the solemnness of others, Wu Yong was the first to bounce back.
He directly grabbed Su Changqing’s arm, his eyes burning as he said:
"Senior brother, we have the Array now, you have to help me!"
"The Celestial Demon Pool opens soon, and junior brother wants to participate too, I need to complete the Divine Body, right!"
Su Changqing knew that Wu Yong’s cultivation had very high requirements for the Array.
Hearing Wu Yong’s request, he didn’t refuse, lightly smiling and nodding:
"Alright, prepare a place, I’ll help you."
Wu Yong immediately rejoiced upon hearing this.
His cultivation wasn’t just about engraving array patterns within his body, but also invoking the source of his physical body.
In this regard, no one compared to Su Changqing.
"Hahaha, Great! Senior brother, come with me quickly!"
Before the Wu family members could inquire further, Wu Yong directly dragged Su Changqing away swiftly.
Those present looked at each other, then all shook their heads with wry smiles.
"What was that exactly..."
At this moment, Wu De was still pondering the earlier scene.
Suddenly, he furrowed his brow, looking at the Communication Talisman on his waist.
Su Nan: "What just happened, even Celestial Fury appeared, it seems to be at your Wu family!"
"What heaven-shocking and earth-infuriating thing did your Wu family do, and why did it stop afterward?"
Seeing Su Nan’s message, Wu De’s mouth twitched, sending two responses back.
Wu De: "It’s nothing, it’s your son’s cultivation mishap."
Su Nan, who had just arrived at the Void Forbidden Abyss, looked at the Communication Talisman in his hand, falling silent for a while.
