Dao Lord Taichu put away the Heavenly Dao Jade Talisman, then turned and left the area.
He arrived at a towering city and found an inn to stay in.
Inside the inn, Dao Lord Taichu took out the Heavenly Dao Jade Talisman and examined it carefully.
"It truly was condensed from supreme Dao runes. Moreover, it was an exceedingly rare slaughter rune. No wonder the Tianyin Immortal Sect sent so many people to guard it!"
Dao Lord Taichu pondered for a moment, then entered seclusion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Jade Talisman and study the heavenly runes within it.
The heavenly runes contained terrifying power and destructive force, yet they also held profoundly mysterious Dao intent.
Dao Lord Taichu cultivated in the inn without rest, comprehending the Dao intent within the Heavenly Dao Jade Talisman and deducing his own Dao.
One day, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Outside, thunder rumbled across the sky.
"Hmm, has the Heavenly Tribulation descended?"
Dao Lord Taichu murmured, frowning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive bolts of lightning punishment suddenly descended from the heavens, striking toward Dao Lord Taichu in an attempt to blast him into ashes.
Dao Lord Taichu watched it all indifferently.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to lock onto him. The lightning striking at him abruptly multiplied severalfold, densely filling the sky as it crashed down upon him.
"Haha, interesting. A mere mortal Heavenly Tribulation dares to harm me?"
Dao Lord Taichu laughed loudly. Golden light blazed across his body as a vast metal-element law surged into him. His body seemed to turn into cast metal, allowing the heavenly lightning to strike him at will.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was neutralized by him and could not harm him in the slightest.
Rumble!
The Heavenly Tribulation continued to strike, growing increasingly terrifying. In
