Old Man Huo's Warning
Completely crushing everything in its path!
The powerful energy propelled the six meteors to their maximum speed. The last time they were observed, they were still far away in the sky, but now they were already in front of the Tianxin Sect's protective formation.
"Silk..."
The six meteors collided with the protective array's restrictions like lightning. Because of their incredible speed, they produced a sharp, grating sound, which was extremely piercing but also demonstrated the meteors' incredible speed!
These six meteors were much smaller than the previous six, but their energy increased from 30% to 60%.
To Zhang Xingfeng's dismay, he had no chance to use the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon formation to attack, because the six meteors were too fast for Zhang Xingfeng to keep up with, or rather, his speed was simply insufficient to surround the six meteors.
Therefore, Zhang Xingfeng could only keep setting up restrictions in an attempt to block or weaken the power of the six meteors.
"Puzzle..."
The sounds kept ringing out, and the more than one hundred restrictions that Zhang Xingfeng had set up in an instant were immediately broken. Zhang Xingfeng swallowed the Second Rank Crimson Essence Pill in his mouth, and the Limitless Power surged up immediately. With a thought, Zhang Xingfeng set up hundreds more restrictions!
However, this only slowed down the speed and still had no effect.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly realized that he no longer had a chance to set up the barrier, because the six meteors were already in front of him.
"Damn it, I'll risk it all! Immortal Undying Body! You're immortal, you have to hold on! Heavenly Fire Armor will support the Immortal Undying Body, we can definitely hold on, we definitely can!" Zhang Xingfeng tried to convince himself, but Zhang Xingfeng also knew that the last meteor, even after being weakened, still injured him upon impact. This time, the meteors, which hadn't been weakened at all, were still injuring him, let alone the six meteors that were even stronger.
"Forget it, if it really doesn't work out, I'll retreat halfway. Those six meteors are targeting the divine artifact in the Qi Cauldron, not me. Even if the divine artifact is gone, it can be reforged later. My life is very important. But I can't give up until the very last moment." Zhang Xingfeng made a resolute decision in his heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The tremendous impact caused the entire Fangyan Mountain to tremble. Violent spatial ripples even appeared around Zhang Xingfeng's Heavenly Fire Armor ...
"This is terrible. The impact energy seems to be six or seven times that of last time, ugh..." Zhang Xingfeng held back a mouthful of blood, but a trickle of blood still slowly flowed from the corner of Zhang Xingfeng mouth.
At this moment, all the core disciples of the Tianxin Sect were inside the Illusionary Heart Formation.
The Illusionary Heart Array covers a vast area, normally accommodating three to four thousand disciples for cultivation. At this moment, seven to eight thousand core disciples could still squeeze into it. They were all watching intently as their invincible, Supreme Elder resisted an attack that was a thousand times stronger than the Tribulation of the Loose Immortal.
Seeing Zhang Xingfeng's terrifying Heaven and Earth Opening —the Six Harmonies Formation—shatter space and then completely collapse, all the disciples of the Tianxin Sect cheered inwardly. They knew they couldn't let their Supreme Elder be distracted at this moment, so everyone remained silent.
But during the last attack, the intense impact relentlessly pounded against the Supreme Elder's body, leaving all the core disciples in a state of suspense and fear. They could sense the boundless energy contained within the meteor, and they knew that they were on the verge of being obliterated by the leaking power.
Despite the repeated impacts, their Supreme Elder Zhang Xingfeng remained standing proudly, like a god, until the six meteors were completely annihilated.
But this time, six meteors struck Zhang Xingfeng, much stronger than the last one. They even saw their Supreme Elder's body tremble slightly!
All the core disciples held a hope in their hearts that their Supreme Elder would persevere.
"Boom..."
A meteor that struck Zhang Xingfeng's body had some of its energy dissipated by the shockwave from his body, and that energy flew to one side. Zhang Xingfeng was powerless to do anything about it and could only watch helplessly as the energy collided with a peak of Fangyan Mountain.
Zhang Xingfeng could only sigh inwardly, "Fortunately, it wasn't the Illusionary Heart Formation that was struck!"
"Pfft!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed fiercely, "Damn it, I don't believe I can't withstand you!" The Limitless Power within Zhang Xingfeng's body began to frantically repair the injuries caused by the shock.
Zhang Xingfeng's Immortal Undying Body was still very powerful, but the strong shockwave from such a violent impact made Zhang Xingfeng's blood boil, and he had already coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng felt his legs, which had been standing proudly for so long, begin to weaken. He couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems I can't hold on for much longer!"
The Old Man Hei's house.
Old Man Huo was still slowly and carefully drinking the jar of wine, sip by sip. For someone with endless life, drinking wine was naturally something he had to do as slowly as possible. A jar of wine takes at least a month to make, and Old Man Huo had only been drinking it for a few days.
Suddenly, the seemingly Old Man Huo's eyes snapped open, and he muttered, "That bastard Lei De, he knows my apprentice forged a divine artifact on my turf last time, and this time he's even brought the Divine Artifact Tribulation upon me! That's incredibly disrespectful. Hmph, Divine Artifact Tribulation, go give that guy Lei De a heads-up! Oh, I'll just continue drinking my wine..."
Just as Zhang Xingfeng was about to give up and leave without further obstruction, the six meteors, still possessing most of their energy, vanished into thin air without a trace, as if they had never existed. If Zhang Xingfeng hadn't seen the mountain peak that had been cracked by the impact of the scattered energy, he would have truly thought he was dreaming.
The pitch-black world suddenly returned to its former clarity, and the terrifying hurricane turned into a gentle breeze...
At this moment, all the core disciples became excited, looking at Zhang Xingfeng's still extraordinary, godlike physique, and they all cheered...
Zhang Xingfeng smiled too. No matter what, the Divine Artifact Tribulation was over, and that was enough!
Lei De was showing off his muscles to his daughter, occasionally using his Divine Power to make them even more perfect, when suddenly...
"Boom..."
Six meteors that were about to collide with Zhang Xingfeng suddenly appeared in front of Lei De, having traveled from the Cultivation World to the Divine Realm!
Lei De was taken aback, glanced at his daughter, and immediately waved his hand, causing the six shooting stars to vanish.
"Hmm... Isn't this the Divine Artifact Tribulation? How come it suddenly appeared here? But isn't the Divine Artifact Tribulation supposed to happen in the lower realms? There's no Tribulation of Divine Artifact Tribulation when crafting divine artifacts in the Divine Realm." Lei De was a little confused.
"To be able to bring the Divine Artifact Tribulation directly from the lower realm to the Divine Realm, disregarding the barrier between the two, it seems only those eight old fellows and their sect elders who are long gone are possible. But who exactly are they?" Lei De wondered. Even a Heavenly Venerable cannot break through the barrier of the Divine Realm; only by breaking through the Divine Realm barrier can one reach the Great Perfection realm.
Suddenly, Lei De remembered what Yutang had told him last time: someone was forging divine artifacts on his Martial Uncle Huo's territory, and a thought struck him.
"Yutang!" Lei De transmitted his thoughts directly to Yutang.
With a flash of light, Yutang appeared before Heavenly Venerate Leide Venerable.
"Heavenly Venerable, what is the purpose of summoning Yutang here?" Yutang asked respectfully.
"You are in charge of the Divine Artifact Tribulation. Just how many Divine Artifact Tribulation have descended today?" Lei De asked.
Yutang's mind stirred, and he immediately replied, "Today, a total of three Divine Artifact Tribulation descended upon all dimensional spaces in the lower realm, but there is one place where six Divine Artifact Tribulation descended at the same time."
Lei De immediately recalled the six shooting stars from earlier. He promptly asked, "Tell me, which dimension was it? Was it the dimension where Martial Uncle Huo resides?"
After thinking carefully, Yutang immediately said, "Yes, it is indeed the dimensional space where Martial Uncle Huo is located. It seems that the weapon refiner is the same guy who refined the divine weapon in Martial Uncle Huo's Hall of Illusory Fire God last time. That little guy is really too stupid. How could he refine so many divine weapons at once? Oh dear... I observed that little guy last time. His power is not enough to withstand the fusion of six Divine Artifact Tribulation. Oh no!"
Yutang only realized something was wrong at this point.
Lei De sneered, "So Martial Uncle Huo directly sent that Divine Artifact Tribulation to me. You idiot, you've disappointed me greatly. I told you last time, yet you still made such a mistake. Remember this: this person might be Martial Uncle Huo's official disciple. Heavenly Venerable Huode and Heavenly Venerable Zhengyang were only given some guidance by Martial Uncle Huo, and Martial Uncle Huo has never acknowledged them as his disciples. You should know that my master has one disciple slot, and my Martial Uncle Huo's disciple is very likely this guy who forged the divine artifact."
Yutang broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding. He knew what it meant if the disciple was one of those eight old guys. Because almost every generation of Heavenly Venerables was connected to those old guys.
The previous Heavenly Venerable Huode was none other than Old Man Huo, and the Heavenly Venerable of Old Man Huo's predecessor was Old Man Huo's master. Even if there was no formal master-disciple relationship between the two generations of Heavenly Venerables, there was a de facto one; otherwise, how could Fire Virtue have attained the position of Heavenly Venerable? It's important to understand that while there are many Upper Heavenly God, almost all those who achieve a final breakthrough require guidance from their predecessors; only a few can truly comprehend it on their own. However, even if one comprehends it independently and becomes a Heavenly Venerable, it will only be a Heavenly Venerable without real power.
Because the power in the Divine Realm is entirely controlled by the Eight Great Celestial Venerables, while the other Celestial Venerables only have titles and status, but no real power. For example, the Heavenly Venerable Zhengyang, although also a Celestial Venerable, does not have much power. On the other hand, the Heavenly Venerable Huode and the Heavenly Venerate Leide are Celestial Venerables who have inherited their positions, and their power is astonishing.
Other Upper Heavenly God, even those with Fire Attribute, who break through to the Celestial Venerable realm, are not qualified to be called Heavenly Venerable Huode! This is because "Fire Virtue" is a title, passed down through generations. Only by gaining the approval of the previous Heavenly Venerable Huode can one become one of the eight supreme Celestial Venerables.
"Yutang, you should know what to do from now on. Apart from the Divine Tribulation, which is beyond our control, all other calamities that we can control should not befall us, and even if they are, they should not harm us." Lei De was worried that his nephew was too stupid, so he simply explained everything.
Yutang immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.
Zhang Xingfeng was still pleased. Apart from the mountain peak being knocked down and the traces of intense energy appearing on Qingshaping, there was no other impact. The entire Tianxin Sect only suffered minor damage, with one building collapsing due to the collapsed mountain.
"Alright, brother, that's enough, you can put the cauldron away now!" Aqi's voice echoed in Zhang Xingfeng's mind.
Zhang Xingfeng immediately showed joy, and instantly unleashed the Eighteen Divine Forging and Cauldron-Gathering Hand Seals. The Blazing Heavenly Fire returned immediately, and the Qi Cauldron grew smaller and smaller, flying to Zhang Xingfeng's front.
With a thought, Zhang Xingfeng opened the lid of the Qi Cauldron, and six divine artifacts flew out.
Zhang Xingfeng instantly absorbed the two Jie Sha Blades and another piece of defensive armor into the sky, leaving three Yan Yang Thorn floating in the air!
The material Zhang Xingfeng used was the most precious Jianyu Essence. Although his current skill level is not very high, he still managed to forge a mid-level divine weapon. The three Yan Yang Thorn were instantly upgraded to mid-level divine weapons, and their attack power reached a new level.
Meanwhile, the Qingshaping was already filled with core disciples, who were all looking at the floating divine artifact. The faint but powerful aura emanating from the artifact made these disciples tremble with fear.
"Yan Feng, Yan Yu, Yan Huo, why aren't you going up and get your divine artifacts?" Zhang Xingfeng shouted with a laugh as he looked at the three Yan Bao brothers who were dumbfounded.
The three brothers immediately snapped out of their daze, cheering and shouting as they soared into the sky to grab their weapons.
"A divine artifact? A divine artifact? He forged a divine artifact!" As soon as Great Emperor Ziwei discovered that his Divine Sense could enter Tianyan Star, he entered it again. But as soon as he entered, he found that what came out of the Qi Cauldron opened by Zhang Xingfeng was actually a divine artifact!
"He really is Pangu's disciple, and like Pangu, he possesses the method of forging divine artifacts. Forging divine artifacts! If I knew the method of forging divine artifacts, wouldn't my power far surpass those two guys!" Great Emperor Ziwei immediately made up his mind.
Meanwhile, the Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor also discovered the divine artifact forged by Zhang Xingfeng, and simultaneously formulated their countermeasures.
