Chapter 497: White Jade City, Purple Sky Divine Thunder
What shocked everyone the most was John. After half an hour of Thunder Tribulation relentlessly striking him, he managed to withstand all of it using his body alone. He didn’t use Heaven and Earth Transformation, nor did he activate any defensive skills or items.
Even a one-star Emperor would have likely been shattered into oblivion under such intense Thunder Tribulation.
Indeed, John’s strength defies all logic.
"Huh? What is he doing?" Suddenly, the Heavenly King exclaimed, unable to believe what he was seeing in front of him.
At this moment, beneath the tribulation lightning, a massive, pitch-black skull-shaped city appeared.
It was Dark City!
John had actually summoned Dark City.
Whoosh...
The winds howled, the sky darkened, and the clouds above grew even darker, rapidly expanding and enveloping the city, blocking out the sun.
Under the Karmic debt of Dark City, the power of the Thunder Tribulation surged even further.
The group was startled and quickly retreated in a panic, watching the dark clouds spread above them.
"Is this kid crazy?" Blood Fiend Emperor felt a chill in his heart. To him, John’s actions seemed like a reckless suicide.

Chaos Emperor, however, furrowed his brows, as if realizing something. He spoke, "I remember that by practicing the Ten Thousand Souls Bloodthirst Sovereign Technique, one can use Thunder Tribulation to purify the undead."
The group froze upon hearing his words.
Nine Phoenix nodded and added, "Indeed, that’s one way, but one must cultivate the Ten Thousand Souls Bloodthirst Sovereign Technique to achieve it. Could it be that John has mastered this technique?"
They knew that John had refined Dark City and slain Celestial Vault, but they were unaware that he had also plundered the Ten Thousand Souls Bloodthirst Sovereign Technique.
The Thunder Tribulation baptism purifies the soul and can eliminate the Karmic debt of Dark City. However, doing so would weaken the power of Dark City slightly, though future killings would be free of any karmic consequences.
With John mastering the Ten Thousand Souls Bloodthirst Sovereign Technique, Dark City could be enhanced through slaughter. This minor weakening meant nothing to him.
Boom... Boom...
Bolts of Thunder Tribulation fell one after another, shaking Dark City. The wails of spirits filled the air, as ghostly figures of malevolent spirits struggled in pain, their horrific and twisted forms dissolving into white light.
John calmly watched the scene unfold, not a trace of pity in his eyes.
To them, this wasn’t torment—it was liberation.
Breaking free from Dark City’s shackles, they would be reborn into the cycle of reincarnation.
Under the relentless bombardment of the Thunder Tribulation, the dark and malevolent energy surrounding Dark City began to dissipate, and the city itself slowly began to change.
John sat cross-legged, activating the Ten Thousand Souls Bloodthirst Sovereign Technique, deliberately absorbing the Thunder Tribulation and re-refining Dark City.
However, with the endless evil spirits drawn towards him, the power of the Thunder Tribulation had grown, reaching the limit of what he could withstand.
At this moment, golden light flickered around him, and he activated his defensive skill, Diamond Body Protection.
Crack... crack...
The sky was filled with an enormous thunderweb, and the golden light around John surged violently, on the brink of collapse.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Even though Diamond Body Protection was shielding him and increasing his defense a hundredfold, it still couldn’t block the damage from the Thunder Tribulation.
However, this damage meant nothing to him.
Time passed little by little, and before he realized it, another hour had gone by.
The heavy black clouds began to roll, and the first round of Thunder Tribulation gradually subsided.
John’s body was drenched in bloodlust, his form in disarray. He finally had a moment to catch his breath.
But the most significant change was to Dark City.
Under the Thunder Tribulation’s baptism, the undead spirits vanished, and the city’s pitch-black color faded, transforming into a pure white like jade. A faint purple glow shimmered, and the city stood tall and majestic, no longer carrying its previous aura of evil.
It was a Ruin Beast, a Three-Star Emperor-level creature. This was the very beast that had killed the Heavenly Emperor, Zhutian Emperor.
"We can’t let these guys cause trouble!" Chaos gritted his teeth, gathering Chaos Force around him, but in front of these three massive beasts, his strength seemed as insignificant as a firefly.
"Leave it to me, I can handle them!" At this moment, John’s commanding voice rang out, filled with overwhelming confidence.
He knew that Nine Phoenix and the others were no match for Three-Star Emperor-level magical beasts, and under the Thunder Tribulation, he had no fear of these creatures at all.
Boom... boom...
The thunder rumbled, and within the dark clouds, several massive purple lightning bolts surged, resembling giant dragons, stirring the wind and clouds.
John’s expression turned serious as he no longer paid attention to the terrifying beasts. He focused solely on the flashing lightning twisting within the storm above.
Crack!
A streak of purple light spread across the entire sky, as if the Vault of Heaven was being torn apart. A massive purple lightning bolt descended, aiming directly at John.
It was the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, the most powerful strike of the Thunder Tribulation.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, John’s colossal body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground.
Blood covered his body, his breath in disarray, and his soul trembled.
The Purple Sky Divine Thunder could destroy the heavens and earth. Even in his Heaven and Earth Transformation state, he couldn’t block it.
Boom... boom...
The thunder rumbled again, and the dark clouds churned as the second round of Thunder Tribulation began, giving John no time to react.
Ignoring his injuries, he gritted his teeth and summoned World-in-Hand.
Hum!
The powerful Law’s Power surged as a vibrant world emerged around him.
World-in-Hand’s Tree of Life, the Immortal’s great sword, Law Tree, and the Dark-Light Mirror all flew out, surrounding John to defend against the Thunder Tribulation.
Crack!
Another deafening boom sounded as the second Thunder Tribulation descended.
"Go!" With an enraged shout, the three monstrous beasts also launched their attack, roaring as they charged at John.
"Get lost!" John bellowed. Four Extermination Swords and White Jade City flew out, smashing toward the three beasts.
Boom!
His attack collided with the Thunder Tribulation simultaneously.
Even with the Tree of Life blocking the blow, John was heavily injured, his body soaked in blood.
The three beasts only paused for a moment before continuing their relentless charge toward him.
Even more terrifying was the fact that World-in-Hand couldn’t withstand the destruction caused by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder. The space cracked open, creating fissures as boundless chaotic space rippled and spread rapidly.
John paid no attention to the three beasts anymore. United Sword appeared in his hand, its sword intent vibrating as he unleashed his divine skill, Creation and Destruction.
Hum!
A massive golden sword beam shot out, enveloping World-in-Hand. Wherever it passed, the shattered space was mended and restored.
Boom... boom...
At that moment, the rumbling thunder echoed again. Beneath the roiling tribulation clouds, another Purple Sky Divine Thunder formed and descended, striking simultaneously with the three terrifying beasts.
"Damn it!" John cursed through gritted teeth. With a thought, he quickly retracted World-in-Hand. His figure flashed as he charged straight at the three monstrous beasts.
He intended to use the three beasts to block the Thunder Tribulation.
The beasts realized his plan and, upon seeing his movement, their expressions changed, causing their attacks to falter.
John seized the opportunity, quickly diving beneath them. The terrifying Purple Sky Divine Thunder followed closely behind, crashing down with a deafening roar, targeting John beneath the beasts.
