Leave right after the blast to avoid any mishaps
Venerable Spirit Butterfly and Venerable Seven Cultivations acted simultaneously, shielding their vital areas before experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation Missile exploding beside them to the fullest, carefully gauging its power and the way it inflicted damage. This experience would be immensely helpful when they faced their upcoming seventh-to-eighth advancement heavenly tribulation.
The two Venerables stood like reefs amid the waves, unmoving despite being at the very center of the explosion. At the same time, they spared some attention for their fellow cultivators behind them.
If any of their fellow cultivators were in danger, they could intervene in time to shield them from the explosion.
Boom, boom, boom~~
The instant the Heavenly Tribulation Missile's explosive force swept past the two Venerables, it engulfed the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Faced with the explosion's power, almost everyone instinctively tried to activate their defensive measures. For cultivators, activating their defenses in an instant was instinctive, much like ordinary people blinking when they saw something flying toward their eyes.
But when they tried to activate their defenses, they discovered that nothing had activated.
While everyone stood there dumbfounded, the Heavenly Tribulation Missile's explosion swallowed them all.
"Aaaahhh~~" The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group screamed in unison, as perfectly synchronized as a choir.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly and Venerable Seven Cultivations glanced at their fellow cultivators in puzzlement.
From their vantage point, they could see that when the explosion engulfed their fellow cultivators, the Little Eight-Trigrams Formations on their bodies emitted a layer of light, enveloping and protecting everyone. The blast had not harmed a single hair on their heads.
Yet their screams did not sound like cries of fright. Instead, they sounded as though they had truly suffered the explosion's damage.
