The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 288 - 234: Ancestor Witch Hou Yi (Part 2)

Hou Yi’s heavenly punishment arrived, its grandeur unparalleled!

Endless thunder, countless Tribulation Thunders, thirty-nine, sixty-nine, ninety-nine, and even Chaos Divine Thunders, all interwoven together, a variety of mixed categories, all were the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulations in the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

This time, the heavenly punishment was utterly unpredictable; each strike seemed to contain boundless mighty force.

Under the personal tutelage of Li Qingming for more than a Primordial Meeting, Hou Yi’s mastery of the Earth Element Law Power and control over Heart Power had reached perfection. Along with his formidable physical body, he truly possessed the qualifications to withstand the heavenly punishment.

From this heavenly punishment, it was easy to see that this was far from an ordinary one, the lightning was frighteningly intense, almost divine in its terror.

Electricity formed from the void, enveloping Hou Yi, transforming the area into a pool of tribulation. Hou Yi’s frenzied roars shook the heavens.

In the sky, the Taiyin Star seemed to have also shown signs of abnormality, bright silvery radiance rising up like smoke and mist, where a gigantic Moon Rabbit leaped and hopped intermittently, sprinting straight towards Hou Yi.

This was a profound threat; the Moon Rabbit’s eyes were blood red, its body not only enveloped in various Law powers but also filled with dense Power of Taiyin, mercilessly grinding away all life.

Fifteen hundred thousand zhang tall Ancestor Witch True Body glowered at the dark clouds; a dull yellow brilliance rose from the ground, wrapping Hou Yi entirely. The scattering yellow dust, each particle heavier than ten thousand catties, smashing the void with cracks.

For Hou Yi, invoking heavenly punishment was to refine and hinder the Power of Heaven, to comprehend other Laws’ Order. This was his opportunity, as well as the Witch Tribe’s chance. Once this tribulation was survived, the Witch Tribe would see the rise of the thirteenth Ancestor Witch, such a formidable group strength would be enough to completely shatter the Demon Race.

Time slowly passed, and gradually, Hou Yi stopped fiercely resisting the heavenly punishment head-on, instead finding the trick to maintain balance, drawing the necessary power, using the force of the heavenly punishment to dissolve the Tribulation Thunder. Of course, heavenly punishment was also extremely dangerous, his earth-yellow protective light was quickly shattered, not even managing a lower degree of ability.

This was the heavenly punishment, the most terrifying, since the creation of Heaven and Earth by the Pan Gu God, except for Li Qing, no one could pass through it with ease!

Hou Yi roared, directly striking the Heavenly Thunder with fists wrapped in it. Each blow completely pulverized the Heavenly Thunder, each blow absorbing a sliver of the Heavenly Thunder into his physical body, becoming his own strength.

The Ancestor Witch Qiang Liang, the progenitor of thunder, gaped in astonishment from the clouds thousands of miles away. No one knew better than he the terror of these Heavenly Thunders, and Hou Yi was actually directly countering Heavenly Thunders with his newly advanced Ancestor Witch Body. How terrifying was that!

"This, our Ancestor Witch Body right after the breakthrough, could it ever have been so powerful?" After being stunned for a long while, Qiang Liang bitterly squeezed out a sentence.

Zhu Jiuyin and other Ancestor Witches looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Even Di Jiang, the strongest among the twelve great Ancestor Witches, kept shaking his head, saying, "This heavenly punishment is infinitely powerful, with our current strength, there is no doubt we can survive this tribulation. But for Hou Yi, to actually have such capability, this kid is truly abnormal!"

The Heaven and Earth Taoist stood quietly by the side; he knew what was happening. The physical bodies of the Witch Tribe were incomparably powerful but not indestructible. Judging by Hou Yi’s current strength, which had just broken through to the Ancestor Witch Body, it was at most equivalent to the mid-late stage of a Quasi-Saint. To forcibly resist heavenly punishment with such a body was like throwing an egg against a rock.

But Hou Yi was a clever man, Heart Power is the power of the mind and spirit. Applying the power of the mind and spirit onto the arrow could significantly enhance its might. Similarly, why couldn’t Heart Power be applied to the physical body?

Thus, Hou Yi attempted to merge the explosive growth of Heart Power into his fists, with nearly every strike containing one ten-thousandth of his Heart Power. An ordinary punch from an Ancestor Witch may crack mountains and rocks, but if supplemented with Heart Power, it could break the sky and shatter the earth, with greatly increased might!

"Boom!"

At this instant, the heavenly punishment erupted completely, reaching an unmatched level of violence, those dazzling thunderous radiance, flashing endless brilliance, like countless stars falling, submerging the area.

If Heavenly Tribulation is likened to descending rivers of stars, converging into an ocean, covering the heavens, then heavenly punishment is the direct fall of that ocean, burying all heavens and myriad worlds completely!

Hou Yi was cold and indifferent, wisps of Heart Power leaked from within his body, mixed in the Earth Element Law Power, divine radiance blossoming. His entire body was thick and brilliant, as if crafted from gold, surging Blood Qi like giant dragons soaring across the sky, bursting forth from the battle runes between his eyebrows.

In this horrific thunderous light, stars began to explode, turning into dazzling brilliance. Yet, in this ocean of Heavenly Tribulation, it merely caused a few ripples, without stirring much commotion.

Around Hou Yi’s body, crackling sounds echoed, his sinewed muscles trembling violently under the siege of the heavenly punishment, each bone seemingly enduring bone-carving agony. The formidable Heavenly Punishment tempered every bone and flesh in his body. It could be said that he was hammered and reassembled completely, steadfast until achieving the goal.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Hou Yi’s Heart Power had been greatly depleted; the might of the heavenly punishment abruptly intensified. He wanted to howl, wanted to roar, but he was hoarsely mute and unable to make a sound. He only felt his bones being shattered countless times, his entire body nearly obliterated, continuously tempered, reassembled, and gleaming brightly!

"Ssss!" The gigantic Moon Rabbit leaped frantically, surrounded by the Power of Taiyin, flashing strange black light, pouring down like raging waves. Mixed in the Divine Thunder, crashing down upon Hou Yi.

"Taiyin Divine Thunder!" The Heaven and Earth Taoist’s eyes shot out dazzling light, he exclaimed in a low voice.

Qiang Liang narrowed his eyes, waiting for the colossal Moon Rabbit in the depths of the Thunder Sea to emerge in a daze.

From the distant Primordial Inland, on his leisurely way to the Netherworld Blood Sea, Li Qingming let out an amused chuckle: "Xi He? I never expected my beloved Ancestor Master to have left such a trump card! Yet you still cannot withstand Hou Yi’s breakthrough! Ancestor Master, oh Ancestor Master, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Boom!"

Black Light engulfed the entire Qing Mountain Peak, as Taiyin Divine Thunder descended, surpassing all previous Heavenly Thunders in magnitude, suffusing an area tens of miles around. Many stars in the Void were swallowed by it, exploding in succession. Its otherworldly luminance shot tens of thousands of miles, smashing directly towards Hou Yi.

This was an unparalleled Heavenly Punishment; the immense thunder tribulation was enough to chill every Great Ability in Primordial to the bone. How could the Heavenly Dao permit someone to break through and then send down such a disaster? Clearly, it was an intentional tribulation unleashed by the Heavenly Dao, exerting all its might to utterly annihilate Hou Yi.

This wave of Taiyin Divine Thunder, suffused with mysterious black radiance, flickering dusky lights, completely shattered Hou Yi, his hundred and fifty-thousand-zhang figure breaking apart, casting a sprinkling luminescence through the Void, suffusing it with an air of desolation.

The eleven Ancestor Witches’ faces changed drastically, staring at the Void with a terrible look.

Di Jiang said: "Damn it, has Hou Yi perished under this Heavenly Punishment?"

Zhu Rong cursed angrily: "This damned Heavenly Dao, to treat our Witch Tribe so! Could it be that our Witch Tribe has offended the Heavenly Dao?"

"Damn it, destroy this Heavenly Dao!" Gonggong stomped around in frenzy, the light of ferocity bursting in his eyes.

"Right, rise up and battle Heaven! Rise up and battle Heaven!" Naz clamored chaotically, his expression vicious and fierce.

"Silence!" The Heaven and Earth Taoist snorted heavily and said: "Even if Hou Yi hasn’t died, even if he did, how could you contend with the Heavenly Dao? This is merely Heavenly Punishment; above it lies Divine Punishment. If a single Divine Punishment strikes down, the entire Witch Tribe would be finished! Pretending to be wolves with big tails!"

Hearing this, the Ancestor Witches shivered, silenced as if gripped by cold frost.

"Thump! Thump!"

Suddenly, a series of dull heartbeat sounds rang out, like the pounding of a heavenly drum, making the entire Void tremble.

After Hou Yi’s dispersed form vanished, the Sky Breaking Bow on the mountain peak abruptly burst forth shafts of yellow divine brilliance, and a huge heart comparable to a mountain, pulsating with vigorous life, slowly coalesced from the Void. Following closely were layers of shattered bones and strands of flesh, slowly forming at the mountain peak.

"Witch!"

Hou Yi, having reformed his body, let out an explosive shout. The many broken parts of his body fused back together, his bloodline robust and unrivaled.

He suddenly lifted his head to gaze at the sky, stretching out his arms forward, taking the Sky Breaking Bow beside him. Right hand on the bow, pulling it into a full moon. Even without an Arrow, a Law Arrow of yellow haze leapt onto the string, its heavy, dazzling radiance causing the bowstring to quiver. For a moment, sand and stones flew across Heaven and Earth, Spiritual Energy surged, various lights entwined, and the boundless power of bloodlines soared wildly.

The Heavenly Punishment above Cangqiong seemed enraged, the giant Taiyin Moon Rabbit’s eyes shining with ferocity, the voice of the Great Dao thundering continuously. It was an apocalyptic disaster, the most terrifying tribulation, with Chaos Qi boiling and sweeping across the starry sea, as the immense Taiyin Divine Thunder thunderously descended.

Hou Yi’s expression was icy, his furious gaze fixed on the Taiyin Divine Thunders, his right hand released. The Earth Element Law Arrow shot forth, a long tunneling light tearing through the firmament, revealing a yellow divine brilliance amidst the cloud-covered land.

"Crack!"

The Void fractured, with dozens of immeasurably deep, enormous cracks, leaving the Void riddled like a sieve. The dreadful Taiyin Divine Thunders, not even reaching a hundred zhang, were sucked into the spatial rifts.

The Law Arrow shone with blinding divine charm, continuing its unstoppable flight toward the Moon Rabbit within the clouds.

The Moon Rabbit, panicked, watched the Law Arrow and became restlessly anxious. Madly fleeing towards the direction of the Taiyin Star, at the same time, countless types of other Heavenly Thunders emerged, doing everything they could to fend off the divine might of the Law Arrow.

With a plaintive scream, the mountain-sized Jade Rabbit looked miserably at Mount Buzhou, disintegrating into particles of starlight, vanishing completely amidst the vast expanse of Primordial Heaven and Earth.

"Break!" A roar shook the mountains. The earthy-yellow Law Arrow, swift as lightning, streaked through the clouds.

The endless Heavenly Punishment clouds abruptly halted, thunderously dissipating, revealing the Qingtian and the bright sunlight.

Thus, Hou Yi crossed the Tribulation to ascend to the realm of Ancestor Witch, becoming the thirteenth Ancestor Witch of the Witch Tribe! (To be continued.
