Chapter 335: Daylight Ascension
Bai Dongsheng was so enraged that his face was turning dark. Ao Yu was about to go through his tribulation, but Heaven had detected him too.
At this moment, he has felt a terrifying aura being fixed on him from above.
It was the Ascension Tribulation!
He was now about to ascend, and there was no way he could avoid it!
With that thought, he glowered at the Mussel Spirit below. If not for her, he would have long exterminated Chen Chen and be spared from the misery of transcending the tribulation. He would have been able to just ascend right away.
However, he now had to fight for that 60% chance!
The thought of it made him feel a little fearful, but fortunately, he had made preparations before coming. Otherwise, he would definitely die.
Boom!
Before he could continue to think, a massive golden thunderbolt struck down on Ao Yu.
Ao Yu remained indifferent, but the scales on his body became brighter.
Soon, another golden thunderbolt landed, but this time, it was blasted at Bai Dongsheng instead.
Without even thinking about it, Bai Dongsheng took out three or four treasures to protect himself before sitting cross-legged in the void as he began to meditate quietly.
...
When Chen Chen, who was in the clamshell below, saw this scene, he said softly to the woman in blue beside him, "Senior, why don't you let me out?"
The woman in blue stared straight at Ao Yu who was in the sky without paying any attention to Chen Chen at all.
Feeling rather helpless, Chen Chen added, "Senior, I need to relieve nature's call."
He then went to a corner inside the clamshell and began to untie his belt.
However, before he was even halfway done with it, he was pushed out of the mussel shell and plunged into the Boundless Sea.
Looking at the scene outside, Chen Chen felt much more relaxed. 'I should have passed this round, right?'
He did not believe that Bai Dongsheng would be able to divide some of his attention during the Tribulation Transcendence and kill him.
Despite thinking so, Chen Chen flew a distance away for safety reasons.
He then took out a communication token and informed his master Yu Qiong and the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan of the news that Bai Dongsheng was hunting him down. He also told them that he had seen the Yuan Gang Shield.
In just a few moments, he received a reply from the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan.
"What? Bai Dongsheng is after you!"
Chen Chen replied, "Grandmaster, don't worry, I'm alright. He's going through his Ascension Tribulation now, he can't kill me."
There was a long silence on the other side of the communication token, and sometime later, some cracks appeared on it. Clearly, the clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan was infuriated.
"It's good that you're fine. When you have a chance, scold that old thief for me, he claimed that he wants to kill powerhouses of the demon race before he ascends, which is why several of our clans lent him valuable treasures. Who would have thought that this old thief, who is the former emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty and a top powerhouse at the peak of the Void Refinement realm, would be so brazen as to go back on his word!?!"
Chen Chen was slightly stunned by his words, and when he looked at Bai Dongsheng in the distant sky, the contempt in his gaze reached the extreme.
He didn't expect that he had underestimated how shameless Bai Dongsheng really was.
The thought of these treasures landing in the hands of Bai Dongsheng made him feel extremely indignant because he had wanted to borrow those treasures!
Now, Bai Dongsheng had already borrowed them, and what can Chen Chen do if Bai Dongsheng were to bring it to the upper realm with him?
Without hesitation, Chen Chen sent a message via voice transmission.
"Old thief! You shameless man! You're the disgrace of the human race!"
Bai Dongsheng, who was going through the Ascension Tribulation, looked rather composed as if he didn't hear anything at all. Chen Chen was appalled by how thick-skinned he was.
However, Chen Chen was not the type to easily admit defeat. After a while of silence, he continued to curse, "Old thief Bai! The lie you told to the four major clans has been exposed! Now the whole human race knows that you are a despicable, shameless, filthy, and vile person! It is said that tens of millions of human cultivators are now cursing you, and from now on, your name will be associated with the crooks."
"They're cursing you to have no butthole, develop sores on your head, make blunders during your ascension, and end up in the realm of beasts..."
No matter how happy Bai Dongsheng was, there was a change in expression when he heard Chen Chen's cursing.
With that change, the Yuan Gang Shield began to lose its stability.
Chen Chen was overjoyed to see that and he continued, "Old thief Bai! Do you know that all the humans with the last name Bai want to change their last names because of you? The royal family of the Great Jing Dynasty has become the subject of hate of the entire human race! Your ancestors have been cursed all over, all because they gave birth to a beast like you!"
Psht!
In the Yuan Gang shield, Bai Dongsheng spat out a mouthful of blood while glowering at Chen Chen with a burning gaze.
If his eyes could kill, Chen Chen would have been killed 108 times by him now!
"Old thief Bai, don't think that everything will be fine just because you can ascend sufficiently. I will spread the word about your doings in the mortal world so that the seniors in the upper realm will know what you're like!"
"Old thief..."
...
Hearing Chen Chen's fancy curses, Bai Dongsheng was furious, but after hearing it for a while, he was suddenly relieved.
"We cultivators only care about the Heavenly Dao. The other things are nothing to me. Perhaps, it's all a test from Heaven."
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became benevolent while a sacred light glowed in his eyes.
Chen Chen, who was in the distance, felt rather helpless when he saw that.
Bai Dongsheng was obviously shameless to the point of being able to deceive himself. It would be too difficult to hurt a shameless person like him using verbal insults.
...
An hour later.
The golden thunder in the sky suddenly turned black, and even Ao Yu's scales began to explode.
As for Bai Dongsheng who was in the Yuan Gang shield, his face also turned pale beyond recognition. The black thunderbolt had obviously caused great damage to him as well.
"Kill him! Kill him! Quickly kill him!"
Chen Chen silently recited hundreds of times in his heart. At this moment, he regretted not learning the Art of Cursing when he was at the Demon Clan. Otherwise, it might come in handy now.
Boom!
Several more black lightning bolts landed!
Ao Yu, who was in the sky, suddenly hollered, "Rascal, don't forget the agreement I made with the descendant of the Sea God!"
Hearing these words, Chen Chen answered, "Senior, don't worry, I'll always bear this in mind!"
"Lan Fei, I'll leave those few descendants of mine in your care!" Ao Yu instructed again.
The Mussel Spirit burst into tears after hearing his words and nodded profusely.
Dong!
At this moment, the ringing of bells suddenly sounded in the sky, and immediately afterwards, five-colored lights appeared in the dark sky.
Ao Yu bathed in the five-colored light slowly rose into the air, and finally completely disappeared in the sky of the Boundless Sea.
Chen Chen was astonished to see that.
'This should be Immortal Ascension, right? It looks pretty cool, it's like becoming an immortal.'
"Hahaha! I pulled through! I knew it, Heaven wanted me to ascend! I'm the chosen one!"
As soon as Ao Yu succeeded in his Immortal Ascension, Bai Dongsheng suddenly let out a loud and rampant laughter.
Hearing this, Chen Chen felt terrible. 'Heaven must be blind.'
Seeing the colorful light appear above Bai Dongsheng, Chen Chen angrily said, "Bai Dongsheng, if you still have some humanity left in you, leave those treasures you borrowed, behind! Leave some hope for the remaining human cultivators to ascend in the future!"
Bai Dongsheng ignored him and instead, glared at Chen Chen resentfully. He said ferociously, "Rascal, you'd better pray that you can stay in the mortal world forever! Otherwise, when you get to the upper realm and meet me, I'll definitely skin you alive and torture you for a thousand years!"
After he said that, the five-colored light in the sky enveloped Bai Dongsheng and slowly pushed him into the sky.
He also took all the treasures that were meant for resisting the Thunder Tribulation, away with him.
