Immortal Divine Tribulation

Chapter 218: Heavenly Radiance

Tian Fan had truly gone mad. His pupils were blood red. Facing the traitor from years ago, the demon who killed Xuan Nu, his killing intent was like a raging torrent, as if it would tear the entire sky apart. His golden fist swung out, shattering endless space and time, and shaking the clouds for thousands of miles.

Boom!

Like the creation of heaven and earth, the golden fist slammed into the Demon Spirit Ball. 

Instantly, countless cracks appeared, and then it exploded with a bang. 

The brilliant light transformed into an energy vortex, devouring everything around it, more like a star system collapsing. 

Long Yuyun and the others in the distance watched in stunned silence. They had never imagined that human power could achieve such a feat.

This was a catastrophe. He nearly sank the Immortal Island of No Return. His body, forged through heavenly lightning, was now terrifying, comparable to a supreme being in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. He had actually shattered an energy sphere belonging to a being in the Earthly Immortal Realm. His bloodline power was incomparably strong, fully awakened after entering the Immortal Ascension Realm, seemingly capable of crushing all the heavens and myriad worlds.

“Ah!”

Tian Fan roared, his golden blood energy vast and boundless. He instantly lunged forward, throwing a punch at the energy vortex. A beam of light pierced the sky from his fist, instantly cracking the sky like porcelain before shattering it with a deafening boom.

At this moment, he remained silent, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. His golden hand covered the entire sky, severing endless void. His powerful aura was awe-inspiring. At this moment, nothing could stop him; even the Primordial Saint Emperor would be killed.

“You really think I’m afraid of you!”

The demonic figure roared. Although sealed for countless years and his cultivation greatly diminished, he was still at the Earthly Immortal Realm. To be so suppressed by someone from the Immortal Ascension Realm was unbearable for someone who was once second only to the Demon Emperor.

His gleaming green eyes flashed with ruthless cruelty. He glanced at the beautiful woman and the white fox a hundred miles away, noticing their worry but reluctance to attack. He then said viciously, “Having evaded countless years, today I will utterly annihilate their hopes. After suppressing me for a million years, I’ll collect some interest from their descendants!”

A terrifying demonic aura erupted. His green eyes were filled with a chilling light. He was like a black sun, his blazing demonic light piercing the heavens and earth, transforming into a towering demonic aura. Countless fragments of stone flew upwards, only to be reduced to dust.

A dazzling silver light emanated from Tian Fan, and behind him, one hundred and eight silver waterfalls cascaded upwards, their sacred aura permeating the vast expanse, possessing an aura of majesty, like ten thousand horses galloping, like the Milky Way flowing backwards, directly soaring into the heavens.

Boom!

Above, lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark clouds gathered, as if the end of the world had arrived. Cracks appeared everywhere, and spatial turbulence constantly emerged. Terrifying power destroyed space after space. The silver light was sacred and majestic, while the black demonic light was eerie and cold. One yin and one yang, the consequences of these two opposing forces were unimaginably terrible.

It was a horrifying sight. Countless black vortexes floated there, as if the world was being destroyed and the stars were exploding. Even just glancing into them gave one a feeling of their soul cracking.

The beautiful woman was shocked. She raised her hands and unleashed tens of thousands of holy lights forward. This was the power of the laws; the hazy radiance held up this world, otherwise, this Immortal Island of No Return would have been sunk by them.

“What happened!”

“This is! What terrifying power…”

Millions of miles away from the Immortal Island of No Return, many cultivators looked towards it. They saw that direction alternate between pitch blackness and soaring golden light, like fireworks exploding. However, they absolutely refused to believe that someone was actually setting off fireworks, because even a mere wisp of aura emanating from there made them, standing millions of miles away, feel as if their bodies were about to crack.

“Pfft…”

Above the sky, Tian Fan was sent flying backward, shattering a towering mountain. Golden divine blood splattered across the sky, leaving a crimson stain. Although his physical body was invincible, he was still only at the Immortal Return realm. Facing someone at the Earthly Immortal realm, he was utterly powerless.

“Tian Fan!”

“Brother!”

Several people cried out simultaneously, wanting to rush forward, but were stopped by the beautiful woman. Their arrival was futile; they couldn’t help in any way. More importantly, this was his battle, a battle spanning millions of years.

“Young Master…”

The white fox’s face was filled with worry, no less than that of Zi Ying and the others. This was Xuan Nu’s child, her dearest woman, the man she respected most, their only descendant. How could she not be anxious? Yet, she suppressed her worry.

“Bang…”

A mountain range ahead exploded. 

Blood trickled from Tian Fan’s mouth, his clothes were torn, but his aura remained undiminished. He strode through the void, the space below cracking, his overwhelming killing intent threatening to destroy everything.

Above his head, silver immortal script floated gently, cascading strands of holy light, protecting him as if guarding his child.

“Mother…”

Tian Fan murmured, his pupils slightly red. His hands began to move, a dazzling silver light obscuring the sky. Nine ancient silver characters appeared beside him, exuding an ancient and weathered aura, as if traversing countless ages.

“Why not use the Heaven-Slaying Demonic Art? Young Master should use it!”

The White Fox cried out worriedly. The Heaven-Slaying Demonic Art possessed an innate deterrent effect on demons, as it was the peerless sacred art of the Demon Emperor, the master of the Demon Realm. It contained his will and had an irresistible power over demons.

“Although he’s a traitor, he was once a member of the demon race. He probably wants to take revenge using the Xuan Nu’s technique…” the beautiful woman said softly, gazing in that direction.

Zi Ying looked in that direction, her face full of worry, but she could do nothing but pray for him. She was too kind, so kind that it pained the entire Shangguan family. Even with mortal enemies, she wouldn’t let Tian Fan kill; she didn’t like him killing. But now, she truly hoped that man could immediately slay the Demon Shadow.

“Ugh…”

Nine ancient silver characters appeared hazily beside Tian Fan, like a grand road. A flash of silver light appeared in his pupils, and his figure vanished instantly. At the same time, a mournful scream rang out. Above the demonic shadow’s head, the nine ancient silver characters descended from the sky, like an unparalleled divine weapon striking its body. Puffs of black smoke rose from its body, and in many places, bone was already visible.

“Instant teleportation!”

In the distance, the white fox exclaimed, her face trembling with excitement. This was a supreme profound technique of the divine race, a divine art of the Xuan Nu. At its peak, it could even allow one to instantly traverse from one world to another—an absolutely unparalleled divine power, comparable to the legendary Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

“Pfft…”

Despite his miserable state, the demonic figure still managed to throw a punch, piercing Tian Fan’s chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his white clothes crimson. Yet, he seemed oblivious to the pain, his eyes blazing with boundless killing intent. He attacked with both hands, engaging the demonic figure in close combat.

“Pfft…”

At this moment, he was like a demon. His left hand ripped off the demonic figure’s arm, his right fist shattered the figure’s chest, and finally, he bit into the figure’s neck, his mouth gushing demonic blood. 

Seeing this, Zi Ying trembled, tears streaming down her face.

“Ah!”

The demonic figure screamed, his green eyes blazing with fury. To be wounded like this by someone in the Immortal Ascension Realm was an unbearable humiliation for him, a former peerless demonic expert of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

It instantly reformed its body, ceasing its close-quarters combat with Tian Fan. Unleashing thousands of magical laws, countless vengeful spirits roared, as if bursting forth from hell, their boundless aura of death engulfing Tian Fan.

“Pfft…”

Tian Fan was in a miserable state, fighting his way through the endless ghostly shadows, his body stained crimson with divine blood. Yet, his eyes remained unchanged, cold and ruthless, brimming with boundless killing intent, causing one to tremble involuntarily.

“Blood Slaughter Across Ten Thousand Miles!”

A chilling roar resounded. 

The demonic shadow was incredibly powerful, once the second strongest in the Demon Realm. Although sealed by the Immortal Emperor for millions of years, its cultivation reduced to the early stage of Earthly Immortal, it remained terrifying. Now, standing at a distance, it attacked with the power of divine laws. 

Tian Fan was no match, suffering repeated heavy blows. Four or five transparent bloody holes appeared in his chest, bone fragments spilling out in many places, a bloody mess, as if he had suffered a lightning tribulation.

“Tian Fan!”

“Brother!”

“Young Master!”

Zi Ying cried out, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes. She and Long Yuyun charged forward together. The little dragon let out a low roar, its cry echoing through the heavens. Its body instantly expanded tens of thousands of times, its supreme dragon might sweeping across the world. Even the white fox could no longer restrain herself, taking a step forward. If anything happened to that man, it would be unbearable for her.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Above the heavens, Tian Fan roared, panting heavily, yet the killing intent emanating from him seemed capable of destroying the entire universe. His pupils were bloodshot, and despite his numerous wounds, he declared resolutely, “If I cannot kill him with my own hands, I would rather die!”

Zi Ying wept bitterly, and the others abruptly stopped in their tracks. The little dragon, wielding its massive body, circled above their heads, its enormous dragon eyes filled with worry. 

The beautiful woman sighed sadly, gazing into the depths of the endless starry sky. 

Had the person who had ruled the Immortal Realm truly made the right choice against the one at the Earthly Immortal Realm?

Above the heavens, Tian Fan, with his early-stage Immortal Ascension Realm cultivation, fought against a demonic expert at the Earthly Immortal Realm. He coughed up blood repeatedly; his Heavenly Immortal Realm body began to crack, riddled with fissures, and golden divine blood stained the sky red. Yet, he seemed oblivious, not even uttering a sound. His eyes, filled with killing intent, were fixed on the demonic figure before him.

“Hehe, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!”

The demonic shadow glanced one last time at a distance of a hundred miles, its chilling voice ringing out. A monstrous surge of demonic flames erupted, an immense pressure spreading outwards. Even the little dragon couldn’t help but show fear. It spoke each word slowly and cruelly: “The call of death!”

“Damn it!”

At this moment, even the beautiful woman paled. 

In that sky, demonic flames raged, the aura of death surged like countless waves, and countless black ghostly figures appeared in the sky. Each ghostly figure held a light black scythe, exuding a chilling aura, and they all charged towards Tian Fan, instantly tearing the sky apart.

“The hatred of my mother, the resentment of my father, the wrath of the gods—today I will make you pay for it all!”

His furious roar echoed through the heavens and shook the netherworld. His left eye turned completely black, like a spatial black hole, seemingly ready to devour everything. Chaotic energy surged within it, like a deathly ocean, from which thin streams of blood trickled down his face.

“Heavenly Radiance!” (G: 天照  (天 tiān – heaven, 照 zhào – radiance) – actually means Amaterasu, another anime reference. So the eyes mentioned before might have been the Sharinggan, which activates from extreme sorrow. The author is clearly an anime fan.)

The cold, merciless words escaped Tian Fan’s lips. 

Those two words seemed to crush all the heavens and the myriad realms. Before him, endless black flames appeared without warning in the sky, instantly engulfing the demonic shadow…
