Chapter 141 Calamity Clouds?
However, as Jiang Chen just began to attempt it, he encountered difficulties.
This act seemed to be intolerable to the Heavens. When Jiang Chen's intent sought to carve the first Inscriptions onto the Life Wheel, he suddenly felt a thunderous roar from the heavens and earth!
Rumble!
Crackle!
This thunder contained immense Heavenly might, shaking the heart and soul. If it were a weaker ghost, this single thunderous roar alone would have caused its Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
And this was merely the power of a single sound from the heavenly thunder; if it were to truly erupt, the destructive power would be unimaginable.
Hearing this heavenly thunder, Jiang Chen's intent, which had been flowing like water, suddenly paused. Only then did the dark clouds gathering in the sky and the lurking thunder show signs of receding.
But when Jiang Chen's intent once again sought to carve onto the Human-Shaped Life Wheel, he suddenly felt something.
The Life Wheel is bestowed by the Heavens and embodies a person's path of Dao. If it can be altered and modified at will, then is this truly a trace of the Dao, or a trace of oneself?
Jiang Chen's intent slightly lowered its hand, unable to help but feel that this made a lot of sense.
Thus, he prepared to let it be.
As Jiang Chen gave up, the Heavens seemed to sense it; the thunder no longer lurked, and sunlight broke through the dark clouds.
But the next moment, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his eyes, and a brilliant, crimson-gold light shot out from them, dazzling to the extreme!
"It is my Life Wheel. How I wish to handle it is not for you to dictate!"
After speaking, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his hand, and his intent, like him, gently raised its left hand.
Then, with a point and a stroke upon the Life Wheel, the first complete Inscription was outlined!
Rumble!
In a trance, it seemed as if the Heavens were enraged. The dark clouds that had been about to disperse in the sky gathered again in an instant, and this time, it was no longer a warning.
A purple heavenly thunderbolt, as thick as a thumb, struck straight down toward Jiang Chen!
Outside, everyone watched this scene in shock, not understanding why such a change had occurred.
The boundless thunder hidden within the dark clouds possessed a might that terrified them beyond measure.
It carried a madness and rage capable of destroying everything; this was true heavenly wrath, divine punishment, a Heavenly Tribulation!
However, would a Cultivator's Breakthrough really trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?
Everyone's heart was filled with this doubt at this moment, because this scene was something they had rarely seen in their lives, and no such record existed even in any ancient texts.
Suddenly, Cui Wei seemed to recall something and laughed wildly, drawing everyone's attention.
"Hahahaha! Any Heaven-Defying act must be met with divine retribution! He must have committed too many evils, to the point where even the Heavenly Dao cannot stand it!"
Everyone turned their heads in speechlessness, more curious and worried about how Jiang Chen would resolve this situation.
Such thunder contained its own will and was by no means something that could be easily controlled by lightning techniques.
In the distance, the Imperial Agent was terrified, but the pen in his hand did not stop for a moment.
"Twenty-seventh day of the eighth month, fifth year of Kaiyuan, a Daoist of the Maoshan Sect named Jiang Chen, possessing the ability to shoulder mountains, defeated Cui Wei."
"In a short span of time, he entered the Life Wheel realm through the Dao, breaking through to the Life Wheel, envied by the Heavens, which brought down thunderous divine punishment."
"Cui Wei stated: Any Heaven-Defying act must be envied by the Heavens!"
After the Imperial Agent finished writing, his emotions still could not calm down for a long time as he watched the situation on the scene.
He dared to swear on his father's boots under the bed that following Jiang Chen to record the process was definitely the craziest thing he had ever done in his life!
But the next moment, he witnessed something even more unforgettable.
The sky rolled, and then a bolt of thunder fell like a straight sword piercing the heavens, intent on beheading Jiang Chen!
But immediately after, the place where Jiang Chen was located erupted with an earth-shattering crimson-gold light. This thunder, which could easily annihilate a Cultivator of the Bitter Sea Realm, fell into the area shrouded by the crimson-gold light, like a stone sinking into the sea, without raising a single ripple.
"Hahaha, this is the consequence of not respecting your elders!" Cui Wei acted somewhat hysterically.
In just an instant, his smile froze on his face.
The crimson-gold light slowly receded. On the ground, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, completely unscathed, his eyes tightly closed as if he were Cultivating.
Above his head was a somewhat illusory, tall, and blurry figure, emitting an indescribable Dao rhyme.
This phantom had one palm facing upward toward the heavens, and the overwhelming thunder gathered in its palm.
This palm was like a chasm; above the chasm was the thunder, and below the chasm was the Immortal Master!
"This, what on earth is this thing? A Life Wheel? What kind of Life Wheel looks like this?" As if greatly startled, Cui Wei exclaimed in shock.
Vajrabodhi also widened his eyes, unable to maintain his composure.
As a Cultivator who had just entered the Bitter Sea Realm, he was all too familiar with the ripples of Dao rhyme emanating from that humanoid phantom.
That was the manifestation of a Life Wheel!
But why was this Life Wheel in the shape of a human? It was simply unheard of!
What was even more baffling to him was that the Dao rhyme emitted from this Human-Shaped Life Wheel actually gave him a feeling of being unable to comprehend it!
How ridiculous was this? He, a great Cultivator of the Bitter Sea Realm, actually could not understand the Dao path of a Cultivator who had just entered the Life Wheel realm?
For a moment, Vajrabodhi actually felt a bit of Cui Wei's state of mind.
Using the Life Wheel to fight an enemy was not unfeasible, but Cultivators generally would not do so.
The Life Wheel could serve as a vessel to ferry people across the Bitter Sea, so it was naturally incredibly powerful and could not be broken by ordinary human strength.
But the Life Wheel was also the foundation of a person's Dao path; if it were easily shown to others, it would be easy for them to observe one's own Dao path and find flaws within it.
However, Jiang Chen seemed to have no such worries, because his Dao path was something others simply could not understand, damn it!
At this moment, Jiang Chen's Life Wheel stood quietly behind him, one hand holding up the heavens! The thunder gathered in its palm, rampaging and constantly emitting a destructive aura.
But it was all in vain; it could not even make the Life Wheel flinch.
The change in this Life Wheel was caused by Jiang Chen carving the first Inscription.
Before carving the Inscription, other than being humanoid, his Life Wheel was no different from an ordinary Life Wheel.
But after carving that Inscription, it seemed as if a certain trick had been activated, causing this Human-Shaped Life Wheel to suddenly erupt with earth-shattering power.
Moreover, in a trance, Jiang Chen actually felt that this Human-Shaped Life Wheel seemed to have developed its own will.
Because when he looked at this Life Wheel, he actually had the feeling of being watched by an unknown existence as well.
But this gaze held no malice; it was without sorrow or joy, possessing only an indescribable, strange charm.
But this feeling came quickly and went quickly, so fast that Jiang Chen almost thought it was just an illusion.
The Human-Shaped Life Wheel held the heavenly thunder with one hand, its blurry face slowly looking toward the people around.
Even though it was a face whose features could not be clearly seen, when it faced them, it still made everyone shudder in shock, as if they were being watched by an indescribable, magnificent existence.
Especially Cui Wei; under the gaze of this Human-Shaped Life Wheel, the Greedy Wolf power hidden within his Star Palace seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, actually conveying a sense of fear to him!
The next instant, before Cui Wei could react, this Greedy Wolf Star Power suddenly tore open his starry sky, dashed up into the celestial firmament, and returned to the Greedy Wolf Star.
Cui Wei, suddenly suffering such a turn of events, could not withstand the backlash and violently spat out a mouthful of blood, with blood streaming from his seven orifices!
… (Brothers, something came up temporarily. One update tonight, will catch up later.)
