I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 333 - 269: Taking the Initiative
The silver-white virtual image above Qingxi Market had not dissipated yet, when the sky suddenly darkened.
The originally drifting pale silver clouds were replaced by thick black tribulation clouds. The clouds crackled constantly, as purple thunder light wandered between the cloud gaps, reminiscent of a giant dragon in hibernation.
Each flicker caused the spiritual qi between the heavens and earth to tremble violently, with a rustling sound echoing from the forests a thousand miles away—the Celestial Thunder Tribulation had begun to nurture.
The tribulation clouds gathered thicker and thicker, pressing down like heavy ink, making it hard for people to breathe.
Under the clouds, an invisible pressure made cultivators retreating to hundreds of miles away all summon their defensive magical artifacts, looking pale at the sky, and someone couldn’t help but mutter:
"This must be the Celestial Thunder Tribulation, the most difficult of the three major tribulations, truly worthy of being a calamity bestowed by heaven, indeed terrifying!"
...
At the same time, a black-robed figure quietly appeared in the void hundreds of miles away; it was Mo Wuchang, the Demon Monarch of the Black Evil Sect.
He floated under the clouds, his black robe fluttering with invisible airflow, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes reflecting the thunder light in the clouds.
"Fortunately, I came in time; the first two stages were passed so quickly, at such a speed of crossing tribulation, passing the Celestial Thunder Tribulation should not be a problem."
Holding a black bone staff, the skull on the staff gleamed with a ghostly light under the thunder, and he raised the corners of his mouth:
"Yet, although the Celestial Thunder Tribulation is difficult, it is not as perilous as the tribulation caused by humans—at this moment his nascent soul, though having both form and spirit, has not yet imprinted the Void Mark, and can’t even perform Void Shuttling, hence this is the most fragile time."
Thinking of this, greed flashed in Mo Wuchang’s eyes, his throat involuntarily moved:
"Such a Sword Dao Nascent Soul, gathered from countless essences, if refined, my ’Black Evil Demon Technique’ might advance further, truly a great supplement!"
Yet he did not rashly advance; his figure remained hidden in the void, his divine sense carefully swept over every corner of Qingxi Town Market.
Daring to cross tribulation under the eyes of the three Nascent Soul Sects, it’s impossible not to have a backup plan; he shall see what this cultivator relies on to cross tribulation.
It was at this moment that Mo Wuchang suddenly sensed two familiar auras, his mouth curled into a cold smile, telepathically calling to the void on both sides:
"Since the two of you have come, why hide?"
As soon as the words fell, a blood mist surged on the left side of the void, revealing the figure of Bloodthirsty, the leader of the Blood Soul Sect, dressed in a blood robe with the Blood Soul Banner in hand slightly swaying. The ghostly shadow on the banner appeared even more fierce under the thunder light.
On the right side of the void, a silver-white light passed by, Emotionless Daoist stood holding a small bell, his silver daoist robe flapping in the wind, with the usual cold expression.
The three of them faced each other across hundreds of miles, their divine senses swiftly interwoven in the air.
"Brother Black Evil is really fast, arriving ahead of me."
Bloodthirsty chuckled, his blood-red pupils scanning the tribulation clouds below with undisguised greed, secretly thinking:
"Judging from the tribulation clouds, this one’s foundation is not ordinary. If my Blood Soul Banner can absorb this nascent soul, it might advance further."
Emotionless Daoist initially intended to discuss joining forces to stop this person from crossing tribulation, but when his divine sense pierced through the tribulation clouds and landed on the figure standing below with hands behind his back, his expression suddenly changed.
Within that mana fluctuation was a scent he knew all too well!
"Rebellious disciple, it’s you!"
The angry roar came from his mouth, trembling with shock and fury, reverberating in the void, even the thunder light in the tribulation clouds seemed alarmed, flickering more frequently.
Mo Wuchang and Bloodthirsty were first stunned; Emotionless Daoist was always arrogant, treating sect disciples as slaves, never heard of him accepting disciples.
But on second thought, a rumor circulated over a century ago that Emotionless Daoist had accepted a direct disciple with Celestial Grade Spiritual Root, supposedly to cultivate as a spare Dharma Body. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Later, this disciple mysteriously disappeared, and Emotionless Daoist did not change the Dharma Body, sparking some discussion among cultivators in Jiang Country at that time, but gradually forgotten.
Hearing the angry shout now, the two immediately realized, looking at Emotionless Daoist with a few more playful glances.
Bloodthirsty Demon Monarch even started to laugh oddly, full of sarcasm:
"So this sword cultivator about to cross tribulation is the Young Venerable who fled from Emotionless Daoist in those years!"
"Brother Emotionless, your disciple really has some skills, not only escaped from your hand but also cultivated to a stage of crossing tribulation, seems he’s had quite some fortuitous encounters over the years!"
Emotionless Daoist suppressed the fury in his heart, his expression returned to calm, telepathically speaking to the two:
"When this child escaped from me years ago, he already possessed notable Void fortunes and could perform Void Shift at Foundation Establishment. Who knows what fortunes he’s gained over the years to cause such grand phenomena."
"When the Celestial Thunder Tribulation falls, while he resists the tribulation thunder, the three of us will strike simultaneously, sever his path, and share his fortunes after soul searching, how about it?"
While saying this, he was also wary at heart.
To this day, this disciple and that Void Talisman remain mysteries in his heart, he had various guesses but doesn’t know which one is true.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wuchang’s heart immediately moved; nascent soul cultivation most values void power, this child’s fortunes concerning the void are highly tempting for him, and he nodded immediately:
"Alright, let’s do as brother Emotionless says, act when the Celestial Thunder Tribulation falls."
Bloodthirsty hesitated for a moment; he knew well Emotionless Daoist’s temperament, if there’s truly a great fortune, he wouldn’t easily share it.
Doubt flashed in his eyes, yet he didn’t refuse—regardless if there’s a fortune trap, just obtaining the nascent soul, he has ways to dissolve it, better than letting this nascent soul fall into Mo Wuchang or Emotionless Daoist’s hands.
The communication between the three took but a moment, while the Celestial Thunder Tribulation in the sky had already been nurtured sufficiently.
Amidst the thick tribulation clouds, a water-barrel thick purple celestial thunder gathered, the flashing thunder light exerting terrifying pressure stopping the spiritual qi within hundreds of miles from flowing, as if ready to strike in the next second.
And under the celestial thunder, Chen Sheng stood in the void with hands behind his back, the Cyan Nether Sword at his waist still unsheathed.
His simple long robe gently swayed under the tribulation wind, not a trace of nervousness faced with the Celestial Thunder Tribulation, instead showing some composure.
When the aura of the three appeared in his perception, he smiled lightly: "Been expecting the three of you!"
As the words fell, he didn’t even look at the celestial thunder about to strike above, flicking his right finger. The Cyan Nether Sword at his waist hummed lightly.
The sword sheath automatically ejected, and the sword split into three silver-white points of light, moving at extreme speed, breaking through the void, shooting towards the three at once over hundreds of miles.
During the flight of the light points, no air currents were stirred, yet along the way, the void rippled in fine patterns as if even space was being sliced by the sword light.
——He unexpectedly initiated an attack on the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs at the moment when the Celestial Thunder Tribulation was about to strike!
