CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 487: SWORD SLASH HEAVENLY DAO!

Ha!

Those cultivators, it sounds good to rebel against the heavens and attain godhood.

Yet in the end, all they do is wag their tails and beg, craving the rewards after the ordeal of the Plane’s will; without those rewards, how can they break through their own limits and attain godhood?

But posterity naively believes that after successfully defying the "Heavenly Dao," the "Heaven" will yield and bestow benefits upon them.

Think about it, the Plane’s will that controls the Heavenly Tribulation Punishment can unleash punishment without limits!

If someone really tries to defy the heavens, they are bound to be blasted into nothingness!

The best course of action is to earnestly seek the forgiveness and recognition of the Plane’s will, to quell its fury.

Even Bai Yan, whose strength has drastically improved, has less than a one in ten chance of surviving under the Plane’s will’s punishment!

Begging for mercy equates to a chance between life and death, and still leaves a glimmer of hope.

If you continue to provoke the Plane’s will, it means certain death, and even someone as strong as Bai Yan is destined to perish in the Biochemical Plane!

Go!

Beg for the Plane’s will’s forgiveness like a dog!

"Boom!!!"

The thunder roared louder!

Dark clouds closely followed above Bai Yan’s head, becoming denser, and seemingly about to drip water, indicating the Biochemical Plane’s will’s immense fury towards Bai Yan.

Wantonly interfering with the Plane’s process and disturbing the natural order, that deserves punishment!

A strong sense of oppression came from the dark clouds, with thunderous booms shaking Bai Yan’s internal organs, causing unbearable discomfort.

Is it submission? Wagging your tail and begging for mercy, gritting your teeth through the Heavenly Punishment?

Or fight? Fight until the skies shatter, until the Plane collapses?

This is yet another choice.

Bai Yan’s eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened wide, a sharp light flashed within them, like thunder lighting up the heavy dark clouds.

"I haven’t reached the corresponding strength and I’m not a native of the Main Plane, yet you still give me such a grand surprise? How capable!"

Bai Yan sneered, looking up at the dark clouds, which spread out hundreds of miles, completely enveloping him!

"Boom!!!"

An even louder thunderclap echoed,

Want me to submit?

Want me to bow down?

Bai Yan’s sneer grew thicker.

"Let me tell you, I don’t give a damn about your post-tribulation rewards! Want me to bow down? Fuck your mother!"

Bai Yan arrogantly raised his right hand, his middle finger extending boldly, his voice filled with utmost defiance.

The more pressure he faces, the more domineering and arrogant Bai Yan becomes!

He is a proud king, never allowing himself to indulge in wishful thinking or retreat!

A mere secondary Plane’s will wants Bai Yan to submit? To grit teeth and endure the punishment?

If he ever harbored such thoughts, then the firmness of mind he had built up with great difficulty would instantly crumble to dust!

Rather than accepting rewards, he would never tolerate anything acting pompously above his head!

The path to ascendance demands one to wield a sword upright, to cut down all enemies, and crush all!

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

As if provoked by Bai Yan’s tone, the Plane’s will grew furious, and three bolts of astonishing thunder fell from the clouds!

Pale lightning, carrying unparalleled natural power, struck down, lighting up the entire human world!

"Whizz~!"

The Void rippled, and the Dragon Pattern Longsword appeared, resoundingly unsheathed!

"Dragon Vein!"

Bai Yan roared. The Dragon Pattern Longsword trembled lightly, a Dragon Vein from a mountain range in the Main Plane surged out from within the sword, ferociously lunging towards the three bolts of thunder.

"Howl~!"

The Azure Dragon Illusion was immense, soaring upwards with a dragon’s roar, its Dragon Claw reached out and instantaneously crushed the three bolts of thunder!

Due to being a secondary level Plane, and Bai Yan previously hiding underneath the Hive, the Plane’s will’s punishment was delayed in coming—only today when Bai Yan emerged did the Biochemical Plane’s will impatiently begin its trouble.

Even though Bai Yan already knew the reasons and the Dragon Vein easily destroyed the three bolts of thunder, Bai Yan still did not dare underestimate the Plane will’s punishment.

The dark clouds at the horizon became even thicker and heavier!

The previous three bolts of thunder were merely consequences of Bai Yan’s insolent words, with the Plane’s will unable to hold back and striking early.

The real Heavenly Punishment has not yet arrived!

Bai Yan’s eyes were cold, but his sword-wielding arm trembled slightly, unable to suppress it.

After all, it is only a mortal body, even if it’s as hard as mysterious iron, containing the immense power of the Demon Power and Martial Arts Gang Qi, it couldn’t change the essence of Bai Yan’s Constitution.

A mortal body, under the Plane will’s pressure, would unconsciously shake and tremble, ingrained with a biological fear of the "Heavenly Dao".

But, Bai Yan won’t accept this!

"Whoosh!"

Bai Yan curled his lips into a cold smirk, enduring the trembling in his body as he swiftly flew away into the distance.

The clouds representing the will of the Biochemical Plane, which enacted Heavenly Punishment, closely followed him like a shadow.

But Bai Yan never looked back; he never intended to easily shake off the Heavenly Punishment.

As long as Bai Yan remained in this plane, he couldn’t shake off the Heavenly Punishment.

Here, the will of the plane was the true ruler!

Bai Yan was merely an outsider.

"Whoosh!"

Atop the snow-covered peak, fierce cold winds blew as Bai Yan, holding his sword, stepped on a beehive and looked up. His deep eyes fixated on the black clouds almost within reach above the sky.

It was as if he could touch the cloud containing terrifying plane-rule power just by reaching out!

Being the will of a plane...

Does it have the liberty to arbitrarily take and give from mortals?

Ridiculous!

"Today, let’s see how powerful you really are!"

Bai Yan proudly smiled, holding his longsword upright and quietly awaited the descent of the Heavenly Punishment from the dark clouds.

He could fully open the gate to the Demon Plane and escape to Demon Island in the Main Plane, but Bai Yan’s pride wouldn’t allow him to flee in such a manner.

Yes, this kind of straightforward confrontation might seem foolish.

But sometimes, Bai Yan is just such a stubborn man, stubborn to a nearly pathological degree.

You want to oppress me?

Then I will cut you down with my sword!!!

"Boom!!!"

The clouds churned, releasing a massive roar, terrifyingly loud enough to be heard across a significant portion of Hua Xia.

People in nearby cities looked up towards the direction of Hua Xia XZ area, where thick black clouds gathered at the horizon, visible even from a great distance!

Thick as fog, enveloping the sky, the majesty of heavenly power filled the air, as if a Demon God descended upon the world!

"Could it be someone is undergoing Heavenly Tribulation to ascend?"

Some trembled inside, yet couldn’t help but joke with a trembling voice, trying to alleviate their fear.

Under Heavenly Punishment, no living being could remain calm; most people on the streets had bewildered expressions from the moment they saw the black clouds, fear already spreading among everyone.

Ordinary people facing such calamities would take it very seriously, dare not slack off, but Bai Yan was rather impatient.

What of Heavenly Punishment, what of the will of the plane!

No matter how powerful they are, they can’t make Bai Yan yield!

Even if Bai Yan could marginally survive the Heavenly Punishment, he wouldn’t receive the so-called rewards of the tribulation, as Bai Yan is different from those who undergo tribulations.

If the tribulation goers are like chosen candidates of gods under the review of a plane. then Bai Yan is a criminal in the eyes of the plane’s will, an existence immensely hated by it!

A mortal who constantly challenges the dignity of the plane’s will, how could he possibly deserve the plane’s reward!

Bai Yan understands the reasons and consequences, but what of it?

If you try to suppress me, regardless if you are a mortal or a god, I just won’t submit to you!

"Fight!"

Bai Yan, growing impatient, raised his longsword and shouted in anger at the plane’s will: "How much longer are you going to dawdle!"

He chose to fight!

Not for profit, not for benefits, but only for this indomitable pride!

His aura surged, and his shoulder-length black hair wildly flew like electric snakes. His lips lightly pursed, his eyes were both serious and arrogant.

At this moment, Bai Yan was like a proud pine tree under the Heavenly Punishment, standing unyielding at the mountain summit.

Bai Yan’s attitude thoroughly enraged the hundred-mile black cloud representing the plane’s will.

"Boom!!!"

A massive roar erupted.

A pitch-black lightning bolt, as dark as ink, fiercely struck down towards Bai Yan standing on the mountain peak.

"Dragon Vein, arise!"

Bai Yan roared, and another dragon vein shot into the sky, two dragon veins soaring upward, interlocking with the black thunder in an endless tussle, claws and electricity clashing, mutually depleting their energy!

"Pff!"

The two dragon veins barely neutralized a bolt of black lightning at the same time.

However, at the very moment the first strike of Heavenly Punishment disappeared, the second was already descending!

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Nine continuous bolts of black lightning fell!

The first strike amplified by nine times!

Each bolt was as powerful as a full-force strike from an SS-tier expert, but their attack speed surpassed that of an SSS-tier!

And this was only the second strike of Heavenly Punishment, yet it was already immensely powerful!
