Chapter 2085 - 2086: Unyielding Will!
"He’s about to die, he’s about to die..."
Donghua Holy Son stared ahead, at Ye Qiu, who was gradually revealing his skeleton, his face full of coldness.
This humanoid Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying, even more so than all previous tribulations combined—this was truly a death tribulation.
Not to mention, it was only one humanoid tribulation that attacked; if the other two had joined in, Ye Qiu would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
At this moment, Ye Qiu looked somewhat ghastly, as with the humanoid tribulation’s attack, his flesh and blood were gradually beaten off, leaving only a skeleton almost in the blink of an eye, with his soul residing in the skull, flickering like a flame.
Ye Qiu had thought of using his own power to regenerate new flesh, but the opponent was too fast. As soon as he used some energy to grow new flesh, it was beaten off again and again, leaving him without any recovered flesh and increasingly exhausted energy.
This also led him to stop repairing his body and continue to collide with it in a skeletal state.
Gradually, the skeletal bones also began to shatter and disintegrate.
This was a desperate tribulation process, with no clear path forward. Such a formidable Heavenly Tribulation, who could pass through it? It’s no wonder many geniuses perished on this path.
Ye Qiu was not the first, nor would he be the last.
Crack!
Ye Qiu felt his skull fall apart, then saw his entire skull collapse like a set of blocks, turning into a pile of bones, with his Soul Body jumping out of the skull.
His physical body was utterly destroyed!
With only a Soul Body remaining, Ye Qiu couldn’t even smile bitterly; destroying his body was just the beginning, and now the opponent was targeting his soul.
They wanted to annihilate him completely.
The humanoid tribulation struck again, tearing open a void, but Ye Qiu’s Soul Body managed to dodge it. From beginning to end, the humanoid tribulation showed no expression, its cold face like a machine, seemingly executing its master’s task.
Fortunately, the formless armor formed by the power of faith protected his soul from easy damage.
But continuing like this was not a solution either.
Constantly evading, with no counterattack, in the face of the humanoid tribulation, Ye Qiu seemed to return to the weakest period of himself, unable to resist against the strong.
This was an extremely frustrating feeling, suffocating, even though he was now a soul without a chest, the feeling was still very clear.
"I will not fall like this, nor will the tribulation be able to obliterate me!"
Ye Qiu’s Soul Body burned with soul fire, no longer passively taking hits. He wanted to fight back, even if his attacks were ineffective; he had to attack the opponent.
The electricity transmitted by the humanoid tribulation paralyzed Ye Qiu’s soul, more unbearable than being subjected to high-voltage currents throughout the body. It was a scorching soul-scorching sensation, like placing one’s arm in a charcoal fire, the pain surged from the depths of the soul, unforgettable for eternity.
Ye Qiu’s Soul Power had previously been largely consumed, now less than half remained, yet his will was exceptionally strong, and this fierce determination instead caused his Soul Power to gradually grow.
You cannot kill me!
This thought echoed repeatedly in Ye Qiu’s soul. Consequently, no matter how the humanoid tribulation attacked, even as Ye Qiu’s Soul Body dimmed, it would not extinguish.
Bang!
Suddenly, the humanoid tribulation slapped down a giant palm of the heavenly tribulation, covering the area where Ye Qiu was, striking down fiercely.
"Die!"
Donghua Holy Son gazed at this scene, as if speaking for the humanoid tribulation, urging Ye Qiu to die sooner.
As the energy dissipated, a slight flicker of light jumped out from the soil, which was Ye Qiu’s soul emitting light. At this time, Ye Qiu’s soul had become the size of a fingernail, like a faint shimmer.
Swish!
The humanoid tribulation’s figure slightly paused. Clearly, Ye Qiu’s Soul Body was still alive, somewhat unexpected for it, although Ye Qiu was not dead, it was but a mere ripple for the humanoid tribulation.
Having failed to kill with one strike, then two strikes would do.
Without warning, the second palm suddenly came down, even stronger than the previous one, directly striking Ye Qiu’s Soul Body onto that small planet.
Rumble...
Lava gushed from the small planet like a fountain, the active volcano on it erupting due to the power of the tribulation, spewing a great deal of magma.
"Ha ha... can you still survive this? Not only does the heavenly tribulation want to kill you, but even the volcano wants to kill you." Donghua Holy Son was in great spirits; he couldn’t believe Ye Qiu could withstand the power of the humanoid tribulation in his current state.
At this moment, the humanoid tribulation did not return to the other two humanoid tribulations but hovered in the void, gazing at the small planet with eruptions everywhere, this time to confirm whether Ye Qiu was truly dead.
Dreary, dark, silent.
Ye Qiu couldn’t see anything, as if exiled to a world devoid of everything.
Am I dead?
Ye Qiu asked himself, because he felt nothing, neither body nor soul, seemingly only thoughts remained.
A very peculiar state, yet unsettling for the mind.
I failed the tribulation, already dead, right?
Gradually, Ye Qiu’s thoughts seemed to fall into a state of sleep, even the thinking process was halting.
Deep in the core, a faint flicker, like that of a firefly, gradually dimmed; this was Ye Qiu’s last remnant of soul, now, it was slowly disintegrating—he was dying.
However, as the last bit of light was about to vanish, suddenly, from it burst another light, star-shaped, and then Ye Qiu found light before him; though dim, he could feel, sense, and see from deep within the earth, as if revived from death.
He was still alive.
"Heavenly tribulation, I won’t concede like this!"
"I still have Shen Mengchen, Fang Sijie, Caroline, and Lin Qiao’er to find."
"I still haven’t rescued the members of the Du Gu clan."
"I still haven’t avenged my mentor Zhuang Miao Shan."
"I haven’t yet stood at the peak of martial arts."
As Ye Qiu talked to himself, the light from his soul grew ever brighter, although small, it was nonetheless radiant!
Bang!
Ye Qiu’s Soul Body burst forth from the earth’s surface, he saw the flowing magma on the ground, the Donghua Holy Son who was watching him as a joke in the void, and the humanoid tribulation that represented the Heavenly Dao.
"I am not dead; it is not over yet!" Ye Qiu looked at the universe, speaking to the humanoid tribulation, to Donghua Holy Son, and seemingly to the entire universe.
"Impossible, his soul shouldn’t still exist..."
Donghua Holy Son was dumbfounded, utterly incredulous.
The Supreme Saint elder beside him also had a changed expression, equally shocked.
"This tribulation, I will pass it. Bring it on!" Ye Qiu declared, his voice echoing through the cosmos.
