Chapter 3116: Enraging the Heavenly Dao!

Above the void, beneath ten layers of tribulation clouds, a figure darted among them, sword intent surging, explosions echoing one after another, shaking the entire chaos.

Even the ball lightning that彼岸 experts could not withstand was completely blocked by Ye Yuan!

"Such a powerful sword! A sword forged from the sword spirit of a realm is indeed strong!" Yixue exclaimed in shock.

"It's not the sword that's strong, but the one who wields it! His sword dao is not far from mastering a dao. It can be said that he is the foremost under the Great Dao!" Bloodstone said gravely.

Without witnessing the tribulation, he truly wouldn't have known Ye Yuan was this strong.

He had thought that mastering the power of the Great Dao made him the strongest in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The life and death of all were within his single thought.

But now, he felt threatened!

Previously, he believed that even if Ye Yuan succeeded in the tribulation, he would only be at the Dominance Realm, insignificant.

But now, it was clearly not the case.

Swish!

Suddenly, several ball lightnings flickered unpredictably, heading toward the realm wall.

Mi Tian and the others felt their scalps tingle.

The realm wall could not withstand these ball lightnings at all!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several sword beams pierced through layers of encirclement, accurately striking those ball lightnings.

Mi Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a light sigh.

Escaped disaster!

"So when a person's sword dao is for protecting others, it can unleash such immense power!" Zhuo Bufan was moved.

The power of these ball lightnings had surpassed everyone's imagination.

But Ye Yuan had withstood them again!

Zhuo Bufan could feel the conviction in Ye Yuan's sword of protection!

This conviction was the secret to Ye Yuan's powerful sword dao.

A few days later, the countless ball lightnings finally dissipated without a trace.

Yixue murmured, "He... he actually made it through! Where is his limit?"

Bloodstone was somewhat surprised but not shocked; he had long guessed Ye Yuan had a backup plan.

"Nothing strange. According to my estimation, Ye Yuan should at least be able to pass eighteen tribulations! But the nineteenth, there's no way he can get through!" Bloodstone said.

Yixue, along with Wutian and Reincarnation, all shuddered, looking at Bloodstone in disbelief.

Eighteen tribulations? How is that possible?

After all, before this, the strongest had only passed seven levels of the Annihilation Tribulation!

Ye Yuan was going to more than double that?

Bloodstone Ancestor's evaluation of Ye Yuan was too high.

Of course, no one dared to question Bloodstone Ancestor.

Seeing their expressions, Bloodstone Ancestor chuckled, "This Annihilation Tribulation has never been passed beyond the eighth level, so I had no way to know. But now, I can infer the whole from a part. Although each level of the Annihilation Tribulation is stronger than the last, from the ninth to the tenth, the power and form change drastically. So I speculate that these thirty-three levels of Annihilation Tribulation are grouped in tens. That is, this tribulation has four tiers; after the ninth tribulation, the tenth directly jumps in power! As for the last three levels... their power is probably enough to annihilate the world!"

These words sent a chill through everyone's hearts.

Indeed, that made sense!

However, they were also convinced that no matter how extraordinary Ye Yuan was, he could not pass this Annihilation Tribulation!

The tenth level tribulation, ball lightning, Ye Yuan passed with his sword of protection, narrowly escaping danger.

The eleventh level tribulation, immeasurable heavenly fire, Ye Yuan still endured.

...

The fifteenth level tribulation, myriad dao profound ice tribulation, the sword of protection shattered, but Ye Yuan refined the myriad dao profound ice with alchemy, bombarded the tribulation clouds, and succeeded.

...

The nineteenth level tribulation, Ye Yuan barely passed by relying on his ability to refine all things.

At this point, the power of the Annihilation Tribulation had surpassed everyone's imagination.

Wutian's face turned ashen, "The power of this tribulation has already caught up to my strength! The twentieth level will definitely have a huge increase in power. I... definitely cannot pass it!"

Reincarnation also looked grim, "If not for this Annihilation Tribulation, if we two came to cause trouble, we'd probably be in deep trouble! This kid, clearly not even at the Dominance Realm, why is he so strong?"

The others looked at them with a hint of sympathy.

These two supreme beings were originally two of the three strongest in the heavens.

But who would have thought that after breaking their shackles and obtaining a sliver of the Great Dao's power, they would end up being suppressed directly.

Now, they had also discovered to their dismay that they were no match for Ye Yuan.

From beginning to end, the two of them had been nothing but a joke!

Though they were supreme, they were born at the wrong time!

Blood Stone glanced at them and said with a smile, "You don't need to belittle yourselves. This is about Ye Yuan's limit too! There's absolutely no way he can survive this twentieth Calamity of Annihilation!"

As he spoke, the twentieth layer of calamity clouds began to gather.

This time, even powerful beings like Reincarnation and Wutian were visibly moved.

Blood Stone Ancestor's guess was spot on—the power of the twentieth Calamity of Annihilation was such that they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

This was the true might of the Great Dao!

The previous Calamities of Annihilation had all been calamities of the Origin.

But in this twentieth calamity, they clearly sensed the power of the Great Dao!

That is to say, starting from this calamity, it was truly the Great Dao Calamity.

No matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, there was no way he could survive it!

But just then, Ye Yuan's aura suddenly changed, and a domineering, unparalleled force shot straight into the sky.

This aura was actually no weaker than the calamity clouds that were gathering!

It was as if he were challenging the Heavenly Dao itself.

Yi Xue's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "That aura again! This... is the Five Steps of Heaven Trampling! So powerful! Compared to when he killed Xue Nuo, this move is countless times stronger! How is this possible? In just a few short years, his momentum has grown to such an extent!"

It was the same Five Steps of Heaven Trampling, but now that Ye Yuan executed it, its power was incomparable to before.

Forging the Chaotic Heavenly Spirit Ranking had improved not only his swordsmanship.

More importantly, Ye Yuan had come to understand his own Dao!

That was why his strength had increased so dramatically in just a few years.

The Great Dao governs all daos!

When one method is understood, all methods are understood!

Whether it was the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of Alchemy, or the Dao of Arrays, they were merely means to realize his own Dao.

The Dao in one's heart is the true Dao!

What he wanted to protect was his home and the people closest to him.

For the sake of this Dao in his heart, what did it matter if he trampled the heavens?

As soon as Ye Yuan's "momentum" emerged, Blood Stone Ancestor's eyes showed shock.

This move was outrageously powerful!

But soon, he was relieved.

He curled his lips and said, "This move is treasonous! It should be his final trump card. The stronger this move is, the faster he'll die! Just watch—he will thoroughly enrage the Heavenly Dao!"

Boom!

"One step tramples mountains and rivers, eternal loneliness stretches long like night!"

Beneath the immense "momentum," Ye Yuan took a step forward.

That step seemed to tread upon the very vault of heaven.

The twentieth layer of calamity clouds, along with the previous nineteen layers, collapsed and scattered with a roar!

This legendary twentieth Calamity of Annihilation was fragile and brittle before Ye Yuan's Five Steps of Heaven Trampling.

However, as if to confirm Blood Stone Ancestor's words, the rolling calamity clouds almost instantly gathered again.

And this time, the calamity clouds were completely different from before.

Gale winds howled, and the calamity clouds churned, as if they were the roar of the Heavenly Dao.

Soon, twenty-one layers of calamity clouds had formed.

Everyone thought that the twenty-first Calamity of Annihilation was about to descend.

But it did not!

Above the twenty-first layer of calamity clouds, the twenty-second layer continued to take shape.

Then came the twenty-third, the twenty-fourth... all the way to the twenty-ninth.

Nine layers of calamity clouds had actually merged together!
