Chapter 465: Chapter 188: The Book of Reincarnation Emerges, Celestial Punishment Descends
For a moment, the sound of bubbling was incessant. The entire Netherworld seemed to be heating up.
AHHH!!
The very instant the thunder boomed, an unknowable number of Demon Ghosts throughout the Netherworld were swept away and annihilated by the pure yang energy.
Countless more Demon Ghosts fled into the earth as if they had gone mad, some even escaping toward the Sea of Netherworld that they feared.
GLUG GLUG GLUG!
On the Netherworld Ocean Floor, the head of a Peng bird lowered, sinking deep into the sludge as it let out a low roar filled with complex emotions:
"Celestial Punishment!"
The moment the Book of Life and Death Netherworld appeared in the world, the Celestial Punishment followed, poised to descend as a world-ending Thunder Tribulation!
"Celestial Punishment!"
Upon the desolate, ruined landscape, Jin Yunfeng and the others couldn’t help but feel their Heart Spirits tremble.
"This is Celestial Punishment! It’s Celestial Punishment!"
"The Ancestral Master actually managed to draw the Celestial Punishment!"
Chen Shaoyou’s emotions were on a rollercoaster.
At this point, he could barely contain himself.
Celestial Punishment!
According to legend, it is one of the most ferocious calamities between heaven and earth. Even a world-ending catastrophe must begin with the tribulation of a Celestial Punishment.
In the legends recorded by later generations, throughout all the ages and countless eons, over the long span of more than a million years, not a single person has ever truly withstood this heavenly thunderous punishment.
Even the Elder Celestial Master—revered by gods and men in later ages and considered a legend—was rumored to have disappeared amidst a Celestial Punishment.
Even someone as overwhelmingly powerful as Wang Lingtian vanished without a trace after a Celestial Punishment.
Feathered, Spirit Immortal, Celestial Mandate—none of them could escape from this Celestial Punishment, also known as Heaven’s Wrath.
"Celestial Punishment..."
Su Bai gazed at the heavens, feeling that the vortex of thunderclouds was like a single, cold, and merciless Vertical Eye, looking down dispassionately upon all living things.
The roiling, descending, and seemingly endless Thunder Essence Qi looked as if it would pour down like an inverted Tian He in the next instant, cleansing the world of everything.
Now, with this Book of Reincarnation in hand, he had drawn the Celestial Punishment down upon himself in a mere instant.
And there was no escape, no place to hide.
But he had no intention of running, for this was his choice.
Defying the heavens is not something that can be done by one person alone.
At least, with his current Cultivation, he was not yet able to contend with it. He would have to rely on the power of others.
And to obtain a Supreme Treasure and wield its power, one must naturally accept the corresponding responsibility.
In other words, it was karma.
Now that he had become the one targeted by the Celestial Punishment, he was destined to be the one to face the tribulation.
WHOOSH!
Between heaven and earth, the Thunder Essence Qi swept out in all directions.
The pure yang energy spread all around, seeming to momentarily sweep away all the gloomy haze of the Netherworld.
The oppressive aura was indescribable, even more terrifying than the roaring electric serpents and Thunder Dragons in the sky.
At this moment, even the countless, trembling Demon Ghosts did not dare to make a single sound.
It was as if they were suffocating.
Amidst the howling gales, Su Bai stood upon the altar, his expression unchanging as his robes whipped about him.
This was also the first time he had directly faced this world’s thunderous punishment.
Directly facing that which was so high and distant as to be beyond sight...
Heaven!
Ever since gaining insight into this world’s secrets, he had pondered its Heaven, and the Heaven of the Jin Yun Great World.
A deeper curiosity and doubt had formed in his heart.
’What exactly are the Heavens of this world, and the Heavens of the Jin Yun Great World?’
As Su Bai’s thoughts were turning, he once again heard Bai You’s voice ring beside his ear:
"It’s not too late to back down now!"
The white-robed, white-haired Bai You remained as stoic as ever, their expression cold and indifferent.
Venerable Hei Ming, who was usually talkative, was now completely silent. He merely swung his black Soul Hook Chain, slapping it incessantly against his own palm.
"I appreciate your kind intentions, Venerable, but this Heaven..."
Replying with this, Su Bai looked up at the vault of heaven.
He took a step and ascended toward the heavens!
"I’ve been sick of It for a long time too!"
