A Bountiful Harvest
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, entirely composed of Lightning, circled the Thunder Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace in the sky, its loud and Distant Resonance roars echoing across the heavens, as if proclaiming the birth of a new Lightning, Natural King.
Zhuge Xiang, wielding the Sword of Judgment, stood suspended in Void, head held high, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. He had survived the pursuit of Void Returning Stage expert; what was this Heavenly Tribulation? What was Heavenly Tribulation stronger than the Sword of Heavenly Punishment?
Boom!
As if sensing the challenge of Zhuge Xiang's indomitable will, and the dignity of the dragon, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon roared and descended from the sky, pouncing towards Zhuge Xiang with rolling Thunderclap, its power earth-shattering and filled with an aura of destruction.
Scarlet power emerged from Zhuge Xiang's body, swirling around him. This Scarlet power even materialized into various faces—some ferocious, some in pain, some filled with hatred...
As Zhuge Xiang fell below the Tenth Layer of the Divine Ability Stage, he unleashed Zhuge Xiang Bloodthirsty Technique. The masks on the masked figures became increasingly realistic, each one resembling a living, breathing person. Facing this Heavenly Tribulation attack that surpassed even the Sword of Heavenly Punishment, Zhuge Xiang activated his Bloodthirsty Technique without hesitation, something he hadn't used in a long time.
At the Tenth Layer of the Divine Ability Stage, with the Bloodthirsty Technique and the Night Emblem's enhancement, Zhuge Xiang's strength has reached a terrifying level. In his hand, the Skill of Vast Sword Qi is unleashed once again. With the additional enhancement of the Bloodthirsty Technique, the pillar of light of Zhuge Xiang's Vast Sword Qi is three times more ferocious than before.
A lifelike Thunder Dragon appeared out of nowhere, filled with an aura of destruction, confronting an enormous pillar of Sword Qi energy. Neither yielded. The Thunder Dragon and the Sword Qi energy collided, creating a terrifying explosion that threw the primordial Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth and earth into chaos. The terrifying shockwave even shaved a layer off the earth.
"Did I block it?" Zhuge Xiang murmured to himself, looking up at the terrifying explosion above. With the Bloodthirsty Technique enhanced, his Vast Sword Qi was twice as strong; it should be enough to block this Thunder Dragon?
Aww...
A tall, slender figure forcefully passed through the explosion zone, and the resounding dragon roar made Zhuge Xiang's pupils shrink to pinpoints.
The Thunder Dragon remained intact, showing no damage whatsoever even to the naked eye. This Thunder Dragon, colliding with his own Vast Sword Qi, actually suffered no injury, instead shattering his Vast Sword Qi entirely?
Palm Thunder!
He was terrified. But Zhuge Xiang's cultivation was earned through battle, and his reaction in combat was very timely. He forcibly mobilized the power in his body, and held the dazzling Lightning in his palm. He was only half a step away from entering the Spell Control Stage. He was able to use the Palm Thunder Spell with even more ease.
Holding a Thunderclap in his palm, and with Zhuge Xiang's cultivation breaking through to the Tenth Layer of the Divine Ability Stage, he could mobilize the power of heaven and Heaven and Earth for his own use. The power of this Palm Thunder Skill was several times stronger than before.
Lightning against Lightning. A ball of lightning the size of a washbasin was held in Zhuge Xiang's palm. Holding the Thunderclap, he pressed it down hard on the Thunder Dragon.
Lightning shattered, scattering everywhere. Zhuge Xiang's face showed undisguised horror. The palm-sized Palm Thunder was truly unprecedented in its size, yet under the impact of the Thunder Dragon, fragments of the Palm Thunder- sized thunderbolt flew everywhere. The Vast Sword Qi couldn't stop it, and this Palm Thunder couldn't be stopped either...
The Vast Sword Qi and the Palm Thunder are Zhuge Xiang's strongest attack Skill, and all the Forbidden Technique Skill invincibility are on cooldown. Now, what way is there to stop this Thunder Dragon?
Explosive Steps!
A white ripple spread out from beneath Zhuge Xiang's feet; it was the air explosion caused by his Explosive Steps in mid-air, tearing through the air.
After unleashing his Explosive Steps, Zhuge Xiang retreated hundreds of meters. Seeing the unharmed yet still ferocious Thunder Dragon charging towards him, Zhuge Xiang had no choice. He spread his arms, and a point of light appeared between his brows and in his Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform. It grew larger with the wind and instantly transformed into a huge, ancient Treasure Pagoda. From the Treasure Pagoda, one could see lifelike dragons coiling around its body.
Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda
Although Zhuge Xiang cannot fully mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, this Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda is, after all, the object upon which Dharma attained enlightenment. The sturdiness of the Treasure Pagoda alone is beyond doubt. Using it to withstand the attack of this Thunder Dragon should not be a problem, right?
Standing tall before Zhuge Xiang, the towering Evil Suppressing Pagoda exuded an aura of antiquity Distant Resonance, as if it had existed since time immemorial. The Thunder Dragon roared and crashed heavily into the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, the powerful impact causing the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda to tremble.
The Heaven and Earth Vital Energy was completely disrupted, making Zhuge Xiang feel unsteady on his feet. The terrifying bombardment continued, leaving Zhuge Xiang's mind blank.
The Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace, as a test for Natural King, is naturally powerful. This terrifying tremor lasted for a full Half a Tea Interval of tea before it slowly calmed down.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding land had been completely turned into scorched earth, with deep and long cracks like abysses. The terrain had been completely altered for dozens of miles around. Only in the very center, the ancient and Distant Resonance Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda still stood tall, completely undamaged.
"It blocked it? As expected of the treasure that Patriarch Bodhidharma used to attain enlightenment," Zhuge Xiang was overjoyed upon seeing this. He looked up and saw the Heavenly Tribulation slowly dissipating.
However, at that very moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the Void, then widened and transformed into an enormous eye, as large as a mountain, which locked onto Zhuge Xiang.
These eyes held no emotion whatsoever, no fluctuation of feeling whatsoever. The feeling they evoked made one instinctively recall the phrase: "Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."
Staring at him, Zhuge Xiang felt as if he were being squeezed by the Heaven and Earth, unable to even move his fingers. It was as if he were being suppressed by the Dao of Heavenly Dao.
"Could it be? There's another Heavenly Tribulation to come?" Zhuge Xiang's expression changed drastically. When would this end? The terrifying Thunder Dragon could only be resisted by the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, but being stared at by those enormous, indifferent eyes, Zhuge Xiang even doubted whether the Evil Suppressing Pagoda could withstand the power of those eyes.
Fortunately, this enormous, emotionless eye did not intend to attack. Instead, a soft light emanated from it and entered Zhuge Xiang's body. Then, the enormous eye slowly closed and disappeared into the Void.
"Ding, notification: Successfully survived the highest-level Heavenly Tribulation, Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace, gained the Heavenly Dao's recognition, and possesses the King's Aura."
"Once the King's Aura is released, it has a soul-shaking effect on most Cultivator, and the duration depends on their cultivation level."
The system notification startled Zhuge Xiang slightly. King's Aura? What is that? After looking at the information about this thing, Zhuge Xiang suddenly realized that all Cultivator who have passed through the Heaven and Earth Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace should obtain such an ability. This ability can actually cause soul shock to the vast majority of Cultivator in the world. The ability is really quite good.
Call...
Letting out a long breath, Zhuge Xiang hovered in mid-air and put away the Evil Suppressing Pagoda. Today had truly been more intense than ever before for Zhuge Xiang. First, he fought with Man Kui, then used the Peacock Plume to kill Bai Wuming, then he was chased by Myriad Flowers Elder, and then he underwent his Tribulation Transcendence, facing the Hundred Strikes of Lightning Tribulation, the Sword of Heavenly Punishment, and the Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace...
Time and again, Zhuge Xiang gave it his all, his nerves on edge. Finally, the series of battles ended, and the intense crisis was thankfully overcome without serious danger.
Of course, the risks were terrifyingly high, but the rewards were also astonishing. Putting aside Bag Space revealed several Dao Item inside.
Random Teleport Stone (Special Dao Item): Can Space Rend at will and appear anywhere in the current Empire. 33 uses.
Green-Faced Fangs (Two-Star Treasure Artifact): Pet equipment, requires Spirit Beast, First Layer, Attack +2300, Passive: Tooth tearing attack, can cause tearing and bleeding effect, Duration 200200, Weight 12.
Time Headwear (Three-Star Treasure Artifact): Requires Ninth Layer of Divine Ability Stage, Defense +3000, Passive: All Skill cooldown time -35%, Durability 250/250, Weight 3.
Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect Scroll (Special Treasure Artifact): Effective for Deity Transformation stage, grants the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect Image buff, increasing all attributes by 1000% for 60 seconds. Description: Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect is an ability possessed only by Void Returning Stage Divine Ability who have comprehended the Dao of Heavenly Dao. This ten-thousand-foot Dharma Image, with a casual strike, possesses the divine power to shatter Myriad Phenomena.
All four Dao Item are top-tier, none of them ordinary. The Random Teleport Stone is truly a godsend for escaping, though it can only be used three times. The Green-Faced Fangs is a rare pet equipment for Xiao Yue. The Time Headwear, as Three-Star Treasure Artifact, offers excellent defense and, more importantly, reduces Skill cooldowns. And finally, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect Scroll needs no further explanation...
Zhuge Xiang glanced at the four Dao Item, then put the Time Headwear on his forehead. He could clearly feel that his defensive capabilities had increased significantly. Finally, Zhuge Xiang took out the Intermediate Big Turntable he had obtained from the mission to kill the Myriad Flowers Elder from his Bag Space.
Zhuge Xiang had obtained two Beginner Big Turntable before, and both yielded good items. What would he get from this Intermediate Big Turntable? Since it was intermediate, the items would naturally be much better than those from the beginner-level wheel.
Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze fell on the Intermediate Big Turntable.
The first prize drawn was a Giant Sword with an exaggerated design. This Giant Sword gave people a feeling of Zhang Kuang and domineering power. A domineering golden light flowed over the blade, full of violent beauty. I believe that no man would refuse it.
Mad Dragon Sword (Four-Star Treasure Artifact): No level requirement, Attack +3800, Passive: Every strike carries the Mad Dragon Power, whether it's a normal attack or Skill, damage +20%, Active: Mad Dragon's Wrath, can instantly convert all defense into an equal amount of attack power, a desperate strike, cooldown 100 seconds, durability 380/380, weight 30, draw probability 25%.
The attributes of the Mad Dragon Sword made Zhuge Xiang's eyes light up, but this was only a weapon with a 25% probability of being drawn. According to the rules of the roulette wheel, the higher the probability of drawing it, the lower the value of the Dao Item. (To be continued...)
