Chapter 1484: Chapter 1484: Why Don’t You Try Breaking Through Again!

With a flicker of movement, Ye Qiu headed straight for the heavens, standing above the clouds in just a few breaths’ time.

The Yatagarasu transformed back into its eight-headed form, undergoing the baptism of lightning.

Ye Qiu’s heart trembled; this Yatagarasu was originally at the illusion-breaking realm. If it successfully broke through now, wouldn’t it be even stronger than the illusion-breaking realm?

Can he still defeat this monster?

Ye Qiu couldn’t be certain. However, another thought emerged in his mind. The Descenders on Earth can only utilize up to the illusion-breaking realm’s power. If the Yatagarasu truly breaks through and exceeds this realm, would Earth’s rules reappear? Would they actively manifest themselves to kill the Yatagarasu?

This way, he would save a lot of effort.

No, that’s not right.

The Yatagarasu is an Earth creature, albeit a monstrous one. If it breaks through the illusion-breaking realm and becomes a higher level of existence, and the Earth’s rules don’t appear to kill it, wouldn’t that be worse? Even among the Descenders, no one would be a match for the Yatagarasu then.

No way, he can’t gamble on this!

Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered. He absolutely can’t gamble on this variable. If the Earth’s rules don’t appear, both he and Earth’s humanity would be in danger. The threat level of the Yatagarasu is no less than that of the Descenders.

Just thinking about how the Yatagarasu is the totem of Japan, if it truly becomes an invincible existence, wouldn’t Japan be turned upside down?

He can’t let the Yatagarasu successfully break through. Ye Qiu decided to interrupt its tribulation, causing it to fail its lightning tribulation.

The Nine-colored King Yan’s Fury formed in Ye Qiu’s palm. As he raised his hand and tossed it, the Nine-colored King Yan’s Fury rushed into the heavenly tribulation.

Boom…

The power of the Nine-colored King Yan’s Fury was great. However, falling into the lightning tribulation, it didn’t stir even a splash.

The Yatagarasu’s entire body was being refined by the seven-colored divine thunder. Ye Qiu saw the Yatagarasu glance at him, seemingly sneering.

“The monster’s even got some intelligence now,” Ye Qiu cursed, preparing to give the Yatagarasu a few more strikes, when suddenly the lightning tribulation on the Yatagarasu turned towards Ye Qiu.

This scene made Ye Qiu’s heart nearly leap out of his chest in fear.

This was the heavenly tribulation of the illusion-breaking realm. How could he, someone in the emperor realm, withstand it? Ye Qiu didn’t have the time to ruin the Yatagarasu’s tribulation as saving himself became the priority, he dashed away rapidly.

However, the seven-colored divine thunder seemed to have eyes, always catching up with him no matter where he ran.

This is intolerable!

Ye Qiu was so mad he could curse. Clearly, he was disrupting someone else’s tribulation, so why was the lightning tribulation directed at him? Moreover, this tribulation was different from the rule power of thunder. Ye Qiu could feel that if he were hit by the lightning tribulation, even if he didn’t die, he’d be half-crippled.

Ye Qiu sprinted wildly. It was only then he realized the look the Yatagarasu gave him earlier meant it knew disturbing someone else’s tribulation would attract the lightning tribulation.

Ye Qiu had no knowledge of this connection, and thus was inexplicably caught up in the lightning tribulation.

He screwed himself over. The seven-colored divine thunder chased him, making him feel as if his rear was burning, becoming unbearable if he slowed down even a bit.

This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it. Ye Qiu, for the first time, trapped himself in his folly.

Actually, one can’t quite blame Ye Qiu for this; he didn’t know intruding on another’s tribulation would result in such consequences. Otherwise, why would he have disturbed the Yatagarasu’s tribulation with the Nine-colored King Yan’s Fury?

Fortunately, no one witnessed this scene, else it would’ve been embarrassing.

Ye Qiu ran chaotically, chased by the lightning tribulation, unbearably stifled. But since it was just a heavenly tribulation, Ye Qiu hardened his resolve. Instead of fleeing anymore, he wanted to test the power of this seven-colored divine lightning tribulation.

When the lightning tribulation struck Ye Qiu, he felt absolutely unwell, or more accurately, a sudden sensation of total scorching.

He seemed to have been cooked by the electricity!

Ye Qiu activated his Black Flame Elixir body, instantly channeling energy throughout, for his body to regain sensation.

Yet, another seven-colored divine thunder arrived.

Crack!

Ye Qiu shuddered again, experiencing the ‘delight’ of being electrocuted into charcoal anew.

After feeling as if his soul would ascend to the heavens several times due to the electric shocks, Ye Qiu thought since the Yatagarasu could break through, why couldn’t he break through as well?

So, he immediately adjusted his breath, attacking the shackles of the illusion-breaking realm.

Crack!

The seven-colored divine thunder gave Ye Qiu an all-over massage again, making him ache to his bones.

However, he gritted his teeth, focusing intently, while enduring rubs of several lightning tribulations. Ye Qiu attacked the shackles of the illusion-breaking realm but couldn’t break through. Instead, he noticed a residual trace of the seven-colored divine thunder’s power left inside him. He tried to manipulate this trace of seven-colored divine thunder, but it wouldn’t heed his will at all.

No techniques worked. Ye Qiu, on another thought, began to provoke this trace of seven-colored divine thunder.

Whoosh.

The seven-colored divine thunder moved, aiming to shatter Ye Qiu’s spiritual power. Though this provocation was dangerous, its effect was remarkably obvious.

One could see the seven-colored divine thunder rushing toward his spiritual power. Ye Qiu led it to the barrier blocking his advance to the illusion-breaking realm. Nobody knew Ye Qiu intended to use the seven-colored divine thunder to break through his realm; this idea was undeniably insane.

Boom.

The shackle of the illusion-breaking realm was blasted open by the seven-colored divine thunder, revealing a small fissure. Ye Qiu was overjoyed; it was indeed possible! Shouldn’t he, by drawing more of the seven-colored divine thunder toward himself, eventually break the shackle of the illusion-breaking realm?

Ye Qiu disregarded the pain from the baptism of the divine thunder, laboriously turning around to look at the Yatagarasu, which was also being baptized by the seven-colored divine thunder.

This time, he continually gathered ten Nine-colored King Yan’s Fury in his palm.

With both hands flicking forward simultaneously, ten fires shot straight at the Yatagarasu. Instantly, while the Yatagarasu was undergoing tribulation, it quivered all over, provoked the divine thunder, which became ten times more than before, all directed at Ye Qiu.

The scene made it look as if Ye Qiu was the one undergoing the heavenly tribulation, instead of the Yatagarasu.

After a while, Ye Qiu shot the King Yan’s Fury again, attracting another portion of the seven-colored divine thunder.

And so, back and forth, Ye Qiu repeatedly invoked the seven-colored divine thunder more than ten times. Originally meant to refine the Yatagarasu, all of the seven-colored divine thunder charged toward Ye Qiu.

The Yatagarasu was confounded; wasn’t it supposed to be undergoing tribulation?

The heavenly tribulation got snatched away, what’s going on here!

Without a tribulation, how could it continue its tribulation passage?

At this moment, Ye Qiu cared little for what the Yatagarasu was thinking. He was immersed in the midst of pain and joy.

The pain was due to the seven-colored divine thunder, which turned his body to charcoal several times. Were it not for his timely activation of the Black Flame’s power, he would have been thoroughly scorched.

The joy was in how the residue of the seven-colored divine thunder inside his body began to blast against the shackles of the illusion-breaking realm as Ye Qiu guided it.

With the cracks on the shackle increasing, Ye Qiu felt the breakthrough to the illusion-breaking realm wasn’t far off.

He didn’t believe the Descenders’ words; what about understanding the nine rule powers? That doesn’t mean one couldn’t break through to the illusion-breaking realm. Just because others couldn’t do it didn’t mean he, Ye Qiu, couldn’t do it too.

“Bring on more heavenly tribulation,” Ye Qiu prepared to obtain more seven-colored divine thunder from the Yatagarasu.

However, as he turned his head, he saw the Yatagarasu with a pair of resentful eyes staring at him, devoid of even a trace of the seven-colored divine thunder on its body. Ye Qiu felt awkward; the tribulation seeker had no lightning tribulation left. Where was he supposed to get it?

Ye Qiu awkwardly smiled at the Yatagarasu: “Um… how about you break through again? I promise I won’t steal your heavenly tribulation this time.”

Yatagarasu: “You liar…”
