Chapter 110 - 109: A Terrifying Tribulation!

"Well, this just got dangerous." Wei Wuyin’s casual demeanor was discarded as a sharp seriousness surfaced within his eyes. A solemn light emerged and his heart was no longer steady and without ripple. That was because of the environmental shift!

He felt the atmosphere be enveloped by a world-halting force that brought everything to a stop. His eyes looked upwards, but he saw nothing above besides darkness. Yet he knew that there was something there, gathering and condensing! It was formless, invisible to outsiders, but it definitely existed.

He saw the black-robed Phantom Robe floating in the sky like a ghostly immortal, surrounded by rampant Evernight Qi. His Spiritual Evernight Qi was erupting with astonishingly forceful power.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

"Kekekekeke! I’ve been waiting for you!" Phantom Rogue cackled and roared at the skies, the darkness energy of the world started to converge towards him like a magnet. Despite this, the world didn’t brighten but became even darker. An abyss-like darkness was influencing the flow of light in the immediate area, barring its invasive nature.

"What...what’s happening?!" Sheng Xinmei held Wei Wuyin as her injuries seemed to force her body to be without strength. She could only grip onto his shoulder and arm in an attempt to stand.

"He’s assailing the Astral Core Realm, facing Astral Tribulation." Wei Wuyin explained. Sheng Xinmei’s face turned deathly pale as ash.

As a Ninth Phase expert, even though he was an Evil Cultivator, he still had the qualification to challenge the Astral Tribulation. His cultivation base was like an endless well of Evernight Qi. All his life’s cultivation was condensed around his Spirit of Qi, and with this, he would fight for his chance to stand at the top of the world.

"Stop him!" Sheng Xinmei screamed in horror.

Wei Wuyin softly sighed. He infused Sheng Xinmei with elemental wood qi with dense vitality within. She started as a foreign qi entered her body. But it was warm and gentle, her body lapped up every last drop to help promote her healing.

With that, he let her stand on her own strength.

Sheng Xinmei’s eyes glowed as hope filled her heart. If Wei Wuyin was a true expert, perhaps he could stop Phantom Rogue from ascending!

However, what happened next shocked her. Wei Wuyin didn’t rush forward with ferocity or attack from afar. Instead, he flashed away and disappeared from her sight. Within this world of darkness, she couldn’t see him.

Indeed, Wei Wuyin had directly left. He left her and those people to their own devices and fate.

Yet, he still could not remove this shackle.

At least, not now.

There was no hope in his heart for success, and whenever it was birthed, it would be doused by reality. Only those who cultivate the Soul of True Sin could survive failing a Calamity, and even they failed often. These were experts at the Realm of Sages! Perhaps to them, an Astral Core Realm expert was an ant.

Luck played a factor before, but will it again? Can he rely on this and pray for luck? The Heavens could not help him in the Calamity of Hell, after all...it doesn’t even know he’s an Inheritor of Sin. And even if it did, perhaps it would help eradicate him instead.

He sighed, but he didn’t allow his eyes to lower as he witnessed Phantom Rogue fight with his everything. The Phantom Rogue waved his sleeves and tens of thousands of lights emerged before him. They were shaped as orbs and were a variety of different lights, sizes, and intensity.

Wei Wuyin’s eyes widened. "Hearts of Qi!" This madman had brought out tens of thousands of extracted Hearts of Qi! Within this massive number of Hearts of Qi were three Spirit of Qi. Among these three was Sheng Jiu’s Spirit of Wind Qi!

"This is my life’s worth! I’ve gathered countless Hearts of Qi for this moment. Kekeke, take this!" Phantom Rogue laughed brilliantly as he pushed forward. Each Heart of Qi contained a trace of refined spiritual strength that belonged to Phantom Rogue. They listened to his commands as they shot forth to face the Astral Tribulation.

"Explode! Explode! Explode!!!"

BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!!

The world shook as devastating explosions started to occur above the skies. A colorful sheet of violent qi and energies blanketed the sky and pushed upwards against the invisible force that was the Astral Tribulation. This continued for an entire minute of ceaseless explosions.

When it all ended, Wei Wuyin’s eyes widened even further. "Impossible!" That assault was capable of severely injuring or even killing him, yet the Astral Tribulation was still present and merely reduced in presence by half.

"Terrifying!" Wei Wuyin felt his heart genuinely shiver with soul-shaking awe and mind-numbing terror. This was the Mortal Star Formation Tribulation?! How ferocious, how incredible!

"..." The Phantom Rogue no longer cackled or revealed courage befitting a valiant warrior fighting tirelessly against fate. His entire aura became destitute and his eyes were wide, fear, disbelief, and hopelessness were the only emotions present within. Wait, no, there was unwillingness.

"Thi-" Wei Wuyin wanted to speak, but a whistling force ripped through the sky and headed towards Phantom Rogue. He saw the visible depression of space from this force. It was terrifyingly powerful!!

Phantom Rogue didn’t even get a chance to gather his strength once more in retaliation. The force collided with his fleshy body and he met a mournful, soundless death. His demise was only evidenced by the burst of blood, bone, and brain matter that splashed and fell.

"..." Wei Wuyin stilled.
