Supreme Sword God-Chapter 459 - 458: Power of Thunder Tribulation, Hundred Poison Divine Bead
Ye Chen widened the distance between himself and the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad.
For any living being, when crossing a Thunder Tribulation, the surrounding area is forbidden!
Anyone who gets close will be affected by the Thunder Tribulation, and by then, there will be no place to cry if they want to.
At this moment, Ye Chen was like an experienced hunter, quietly waiting for the right moment to strike.
That Soul-Devouring Poison Toad had strength equivalent to the Peak of Unity Realm, and Ye Chen did not think he was its match.
Especially since just hearing its name, one knows this creature is incredibly poisonous.
Even with the ancient bloodline coursing through him, Ye Chen did not dare to casually touch poison.
The ancient bloodline could restore strength, heal wounds, and make cultivation more effective, offering some resistance to poison. But that doesn’t mean it is fearless of poison.
When poisoned too strongly, even the ancient bloodline can only prolong life, unable to detoxify!
"Ribbit!"
"Ribbit!"
"Ribbit!"
The croaks of the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad continued incessantly, with the colorful warts on its body deepening in color!
Suddenly, the croaking of the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad stopped. Immediately, an incredibly oppressive aura descended from the sky, covering a range of tens of miles and dispersing all the clouds and mist.
This was the heavenly might of the Thunder Tribulation!
Under this heavenly might, the eyes of the Soul-Devouring Toad revealed a strong fear.
Ye Chen, who was also experiencing this heavenly might, felt a tremor in his heart.
"Is this the power of the Heavenly Dao? Even a trace of heavenly might is so formidable. If I truly oppose the Heavenly Dao, it seems there is still a long road ahead," Ye Chen thought to himself.
But this still couldn’t shake his faith!
"Rumble!"
A deep thunder roared in the sky as dark thunderclouds gathered in rolling waves.
"The Thunder Tribulation is coming, quickly seal the Sword Tomb, and be careful yourself!" Master Legs’ voice echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.
Immediately after, the connection between Ye Chen and the Sword Tomb was directly severed.
Feeling a little uneasy, Ye Chen concentrated and added another layer of seal to the Sword Tomb!
Within a short time, the thunderclouds in the sky had amassed to a thick level, with darkness covering the earth beneath the clouds.
Next, crackling arcs of electricity rampaged within the thunderclouds, dense arcs like agile spirit snakes.
Ye Chen held his breath and concentrated, completely restraining his aura.
A moment passed.
The rolling thunderclouds overhead suddenly became still.
A violently rotating vortex appeared in the center of the thunderclouds.
Arcs of electricity within the thunderclouds surged toward the vortex.
Ye Chen looked at the vortex and felt as if his gaze was being sucked in, as though everything about him would be torn apart by it.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion sounded as a lightning bolt as thick as a large water barrel shot down from the vortex, heading straight for the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad.
The Soul-Devouring Poison Toad let out a croak, and a long tongue shot from its mouth, fiercely whipping toward the descending lightning.
The lightning burst apart abruptly.
The tongue of the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad was also shattered by more than half.
Immediately, the second wave of Thunder Tribulation followed. The Soul-Devouring Poison Toad, as large as a house, leaped into the air, enveloped in multicolored lights, enduring the second wave of Thunder Tribulation head-on.
"Boom!"
The mottled lights on the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad shattered, and its body was blasted into the swampy quagmire, leaving a gigantic crater.
Watching this scene from the side, Ye Chen thought to himself, "It seems this unfortunate poison toad doesn’t stand a chance of surviving the Tribulation."
The weakest Thunder Tribulation has nine waves, and this was only the second one, yet the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad was already in such a sorry state.
When the third wave of Thunder Tribulation came crashing down,
a dazzling and brilliant radiance suddenly erupted from that giant crater.
This layer of radiance directly blocked the third wave of Thunder Tribulation!
Ye Chen’s pupils contracted!
Although the poison toad’s body also emitted multicolored lights, those lights gave off an eerie feeling.
But this time, the radiance exuded a sense of grandeur and magnificence!
"Could this be the treasure that Master Legs mentioned might exist?" Ye Chen thought with joy.
At this point, the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad, now completely charred, leaped out of the crater again, floating in the air.
A thumb-sized bead slowly emerged from its mouth.
The dazzling radiance spreading was precisely from this bead.
The fourth wave of Thunder Tribulation also suddenly descended.
Once again, it was blocked by the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad using this peculiar bead.
In another direction from where the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad was undergoing its tribulation, Liu Xingfeng, Qi Cultivator, and a few others lay on the ground, their faces filled with intense excitement!
"The Hundred Poison Divine Bead, the legends of the Cloud Mist Swamp, it turns out to be true!" someone gasped, urgency in their voice.
Liu Xingfeng’s eyes flashed with a bright light, saying, "The bloodline of this Soul-Devouring Poison Toad is ordinary, yet it can provoke a Thunder Tribulation. Clearly, it has been boosted by the Hundred Poison Divine Bead. Who would’ve thought that the much-searched-for Hundred Poison Divine Bead would be inside this poison toad."
Qi Cultivator also nodded secretly, saying, "This Soul-Devouring Poison Toad has hidden itself well, likely no one knew there was such a toad in the Cloud Mist Swamp...Liu brother, this Hundred Poison Divine Bead is very useful to me, please lend me your support. After the deed is done, there will be no obstacle to the marriage of my sister and Brother Liu."
Previously, Qi Cultivator was very much against Liu Xingfeng the lecher becoming his brother-in-law.
But now, with the Hundred Poison Divine Bead in front, his own sister was nothing compared to it. Liu Xingfeng could do as he pleased.
Liu Xingfeng gave a slight nod, saying, "Alright, it’s settled then!"
Compared to the Hundred Poison Divine Bead, Liu Xingfeng chose the identity of a Qi Family son-in-law.
Qi Cultivator then turned to the five people behind him, saying, "My friends, from now on, you are all honored guests of the Qi Family. The Qi Family ensures you will not be treated poorly!"
The five of them said nothing, gaining no advantage by competing with Qi Cultivator for the Hundred Poison Divine Bead now could build goodwill.
After Qi Cultivator spoke, he turned back and exchanged a glance with Liu Xingfeng beside him, eyes full of murderous intent.
Liu Xingfeng gave a slight nod in agreement.
The five people behind them could not be left alive!
Firstly, fearing they might double-cross and snatch the Hundred Poison Divine Bead, secondly, worried they might leak what happened in the Cloud Mist Swamp.
A moment later,
the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad relied on the power of the Hundred Poison Divine Bead to barely survive the eighth wave of Thunder Tribulation.
The ninth wave, however, swiftly followed!
Liu Xingfeng, Qi Cultivator, and the five people behind them all prepared to make a move the instant the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad survived the last wave of Thunder Tribulation!
However, Liu Xingfeng and Qi Cultivator’s targets were not the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad but the five people behind them—they aimed to silence them!
On the other side, Ye Chen had also slowly drawn out the Celestial Mark Sword!
If the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad survived the Thunder Tribulation, its strength would rapidly ascend to a higher realm, thus the opportunity to kill the poison toad was right after the ninth wave of Thunder Tribulation descended!
"Boom!"
The ninth wave of Thunder Tribulation came crashing down, a terrifying bolt of lightning nearly ten meters in diameter!
Even with the protection of the Hundred Poison Divine Bead, the Soul-Devouring Poison Toad was struck miserably, its flesh exploding as it fell toward the ground.
At the moment the toad was falling, it didn’t forget to extend its long tongue, drawing the Hundred Poison Divine Bead into its belly. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
And just then, Ye Chen, hiding not far away, shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring!
The dazzling sword light burst forth from the Celestial Mark Sword, with a lifelike Cyan Dragon Illusion soaring and swirling within the sword light.
In addition, seven top-grade spiritual swords emerged from the Storage Ring, joining the fray!
