Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 236 A Hero Envied by Heaven
The falling lightning was thicker than mountains, like a celestial river falling from the sky. With a single strike, it pierced through the earth, creating a wide, bottomless crater.

Huge rocks were thrown into the sky, and broken mountains were flung thousands of feet away, only to crash down again like meteors.

Everything happened in an instant, leaving countless cultivators shocked and bewildered. Those who escaped looked at the destroyed mountain range with expressions of bewilderment.

"This is terrifying. Has he been envied by the heavens?" asked a powerful figure from one of the four great dynasties of Zhongzhou, who felt that Qi Zhe was probably in grave danger.

They witnessed countless mountains crumble in an instant, the Qinling Mountains stretching for tens of thousands of miles were destroyed, and countless evil creatures and ancient corpses died instantly.

This kind of heavenly tribulation is not something that a powerful cultivator could cause. Only by angering the heavens can it be explained. Otherwise, how can people believe it?

Having escaped, Ye Fan and his group had no choice but to leave quickly. Although they were surprised by Qi Zhe's strange encounter, they could not stay to investigate.

"Chucky!"

The Qinling Mountains were a scorched wasteland, littered with signs of destruction, but the heavenly tribulation showed no sign of stopping, crashing down one after another.

Many cultivators stared in disbelief at the sight, and after a moment someone exclaimed in astonishment, "There was actually a heavenly tribulation! He wasn't killed!"

That bolt of lightning was witnessed by all; its power was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Many powerful beings in the distance were terrified.

To truly block this bolt of lightning would require a level of cultivation beyond their comprehension; who but a sage could save someone from such a feat?

"boom!!!"

Lightning, like a cataclysmic disaster, continued to descend, affecting many parts of the Qinling Mountains, and countless hazy dragon energies rose from the earth.

The mountains here are shaking, the terrain is changing, the ancient dragon of the Qinling Mountains is shifting, and many creatures hidden in the mountains are being disturbed.

The powerful ancient corpses rose from the ground and had to flee while carrying their coffins. Various peerless divine materials that had developed sentience were unearthed one after another.

"That bastard is undergoing tribulation in the Qinling Mountains, don't you have a heart?" These beings were filled with resentment and cursed the person undergoing tribulation.

They felt they had been cursed for eight lifetimes to encounter such a scourge, and they stubbornly survived this heavenly tribulation.

Qi Zhe felt incredibly unlucky; his body had shattered countless times, and even the Chaos Stone Gate was almost reduced to dust.

"Although it was unlucky, the Qinling Mountains' geological veins helped me."

However, Qi Zhe was also grateful for the special nature of the Qinling Mountains. The land here would not attract heavenly tribulations but could reduce their power, dissipating at least half of the power of the lightning.

This land has many strange terrain features, and even if it is destroyed, it can dissipate the power of the heavenly tribulation. It can be said that without Qinling, he would definitely not be able to survive.

It's no wonder this place has become a breeding ground for corpses; it's naturally suited for the survival of demons and evil spirits, and it can even weaken heavenly tribulations, which is truly rare.

“Boom!”

Qi Zhe moved continuously underground in the Qinling Mountains, but his body was once again shattered by lightning, and an astonishing burst of blood light erupted underground.

His blood and bones carved a passage deep beneath the Qinling Mountains, turning countless stones and soil into dust, but only a handful of people could detect it.

The next moment he recovered, his incredibly strong body surging with evolutionary power, allowing him to adapt to being shattered to pieces time and time again.

Dozens of bolts of lightning struck him, each one shattering his body. Had it not been for the secret of the word "Zhe" that restored him, the power of evolution would most likely have already died.

With the cause and effect severed, Qi Zhe was finally safe after being struck by 140 bolts of lightning, and the terrifying heavenly tribulation lost its target.

Sunlight pierced through the long-suppressed sky above the Qinling Mountains, and countless cultivators observed from outside, staring at the Qinling Mountains with puzzled expressions.

"The heavenly tribulation is dissipating, is he dead?" A powerful being looked on incredulously, realizing that Qi Zhe had actually withstood over a hundred terrifying bolts of lightning. Many cultivators who had experienced tribulations thought Qi Zhe was dead, simply because the heavenly tribulation had not yet exhausted its power and could not sense the target dissipating on its own.

"He has every reason to be proud; he withstood 140 heavenly tribulations!" Someone exclaimed in shock, thinking the man was already dead, and didn't hesitate to give him an amazing evaluation.

It should be noted that Qi Zhe was only at the Great Power realm. It was already incredible that he could withstand one bolt of lightning, let alone more than a hundred.

The various prodigies gathered in Zhongzhou are now all silent, just like Wang Teng, who was almost killed by Ye Fan with an imperial weapon, is full of worries.

Qi Zhe killed his father and had not thought of revenge for a single day since escaping from Wang Teng in the Eastern Wilderness, but at this moment he felt no joy at having avenged his great grudge.

The other party did something earth-shattering, enough to be remembered by the world. Even if he becomes an emperor in the future, he will still be ridiculed.

"Why didn't you die by my hand!" Wang Teng's face was pale with anger and rage, and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the Golden Emperor Sword tightly.

Aside from him, many others remained silent, finding it unbelievable and lamenting that Qi Zhe's departure was a loss to this great world.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body deity who had previously escaped from the Gate of Immortality was filled with astonishment. Only it knew what had happened and thought Qi Zhe was a monster.

"What is that door? Could it be a real celestial artifact?"

It possessed astonishing insight, formed from the obsession of a Great Accomplished Saint Body, and believed that the illusory figure might be the true immortal artifact.

This celestial artifact is too powerful to exist in the world; even a mere phantom of it would be envied by the heavens. Only in this way can it be explained, and this also led it to a terrifying speculation about Qi Zhe.

"Qi Juejing is dead, where is his divine weapon?" At this moment, a powerful figure finally realized what was happening and remembered the Changsheng Taoist Temple, which had intervened many times before.

The Changsheng Taoist Temple had displayed its divine power many times under Qi Zhe's control. Many cultivators believed it to be a divine artifact only comparable to an Emperor-level weapon, and even the Primordial Great Saints had to be wary of it.

"Whoosh!" Upon hearing this, a cultivator rushed into the Qinling Mountains. Hearing the devastation of the mountains and rivers, he did not stop and wanted to be the first to reach the center.

"Damn it!!!" The cultivators of the various schools of thought in Zhongzhou roared in anger, and almost instantly became greedy for the unclaimed divine weapon.

At this moment, at least dozens of powerful figures rushed into the depths of the Qinling Mountains, including people from the four great dynasties, and many forces in the Eastern Wilderness were also wavering.

"The divine weapon belongs to the virtuous!"

With a loud roar, the powerful figure from the Central Continent Dynasty was the first to set off, and now arrived at a bottomless abyss that was a thousand feet wide.

This abyss was incredibly dark, surrounded by scorched earth blasted out by the heavenly tribulation, and even now faint flashes of lightning could be seen nearby.

This person rushed into the abyss without hesitation, like an ant being swallowed by a giant mouth, leaving those who followed in astonishment.

"Why is this happening? I feel a chill run down my spine!" Someone stopped immediately upon seeing this, a bad feeling creeping into their heart.

The next moment, his idea was confirmed. A shocking burst of blood-red light shot out from the abyss, followed closely by a figure covered in blood.

"boom!!!"

Qi Zhe soared into the sky, slapped his palm at the several powerful figures who were standing before the abyss, and then quickly left, leaving only drops of blood in the air.

Many powerful figures who arrived later witnessed this scene, and some of them felt their hair stand on end and exclaimed in shock, "He's still alive! How is that possible!"

But some people exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? He's seriously injured and seems to be at his last gasp!"

He's gone mad.
