Chapter 239 - 239 The Heavenly Tribulation (1)
239 The Heavenly Tribulation (1)
On the scorched earth, a ray of light shot down from the sky. At this time, the ray of light suddenly rippled, accompanied by a mottled rain of light fragments. The rune fragments were flowing in the light, as if they contained boundless energy.
It was not until this moment that Jiang Ming realized that the seemingly thin glimmer was far vaster than he had imagined.
Under the shroud of the light, Jiang Ming did not have time to react before he disappeared from his spot. He was swept up by the light and flew into the ray of light that connected the sky and the earth.
In the ruins far away, a black sword that had been hiding for a long time suddenly let out an exasperated curse. It suddenly leaped into the air, and it trembled with excitement as it chased after the ray of light.
The ray of light seemed to be slow and gentle. However, when the black sword chased after it, it was as fast as lightning. No matter how fast the black sword flew toward it, it could not catch up.
“d.a.m.n it! Wait for me! I’m with that cultivator. I haven’t even f*cking gone up yet.”
The ray of light completely disappeared along with Jiang Ming’s figure. The place returned to peace. It was like nothing had happened at all.
The black sword instantly fell silent and stopped in the void. The sword seemed to have become even darker.
After a long while, the black sword suddenly let out a regretful voice, “F*ck! How could such an accident happen? The remnant light of the heavenly tribulation has not moved for a long time. Even among the peerless geniuses and descendants of martial saints of the past, only two or three people could cause this strange phenomenon to occur every thousand years. Although this kid has reached the divine realm of martial arts, it’s not like there weren’t such people in the past. Moreover, no one has ever caused the remnant light of the heavenly tribulation to be so abundant before! The most abundant light recorded before was caused by a genius who had comprehended a secret technique from ten thousand years ago!”
As he recalled this, the black sword could not help but tremble.
“What kind of f*cking monster is this?”
The black sword was completely at a loss. In its memories, the remnant light of the heavenly tribulation had only ever descended on geniuses, cleansing their bodies from the inside and out.
Only those who were outstanding could draw in a more abundant ray of light and occasionally obtain some fragments of the great cultivation contained in the light, laying the foundation for their future cultivation.
The magical tools and demonic beasts belonging to the geniuses could also benefit greatly from this cleansing. It was even possible for them to advance to a higher level in the future.
However, no one had ever heard of the light directly sucking people away!
It was simply ridiculous!
“d.a.m.n it! I’ve suffered a huge loss!”
The black sword’s entire body trembled, and its heart ached so much that it could not breathe. It did not have to think too long to figure out what kind of shocking opportunity this was. Even the few powerful masters that it had followed in the past had not had such an opportunity.
If it could enter this light, it might be able to transform again and reach unprecedented heights.
However, because it was stunned for a moment, it completely ruined this opportunity.
It stared at the pool of blood on the ground and cursed, “It’s all your f*cking fault!”
The black sword immediately blasted the pool of blood away and then flew around on the charred ground to vent its anger. From time to time, it would stomp.

Everything he could see flew past him at the speed of light.
Ads by PubFuture Jiang Ming seemed to have become a star wandering in the lonely universe. Countless sounds and lights burst out and dissipated in front of his eyes.
He did not know how much time had pa.s.sed. It felt like a moment, but it also felt like a year. Suddenly, there was silence in Jiang Ming’s ears. He felt that his feet were on the ground, and the scene in front of him became clear.
A path condensed by faint starlight appeared under Jiang Ming’s feet. It was only three feet wide and narrow. The stars and clouds flowed and spread into the distance. There was no end in sight.
Apart from that, there was nothing but darkness all around. There seemed to be broken stars in the endless distance, and there were skeletons of unknown creatures that were thousands of miles tall floating in the void.
Jiang Ming seemed to be at the edge of the universe. Everything seemed to be destroyed, and he was the only one left.
“What is this? Is it the future? Will everything be destroyed? Will I be the only one to live forever?” Jiang Ming murmured and tried his best to look at the scene in the distance. However, the more he tried, the more unfocused it became.
He strode forward, following the path of stars.
