Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 684: Cross-robbery, Attract Beasts, Ascension_1

The news of the five Transcendance Tribulation Stage individuals ascending swept swiftly through the land.

However, the content of the news had been slightly altered.

For instance, their Ascension was not for their own benefit, but as a tactic to lure out the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast that had been in hiding for hundreds of years. The propaganda side of things had to be handled well.

The reason for doing so was to amass sufficient power to annihilate the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast in a single strike.

Otherwise, relying on individual power alone would not be enough to significantly harm the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast.

It may have been a hundred years, but due to their unique nature as Cultivators and the enhancements from their transformation into the Merit Giant race, their lifespans had significantly increased. Thus, many from that generation were, in fact, still alive.

Therefore, this call to action from the Tao Tian League was naturally answered by many.

The threat of the giant beast was evident to all. Only a hundred years had passed; how could they possibly forget such hatred? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

So, spurred on by the Tao Tian League, all Merit Giants promptly began their actions, each taking up their assigned roles according to the Tao Tian League's plan.

Their thinking was quite simple: they purely wanted to exterminate the giant beast.

As for the newer generation who felt the giant beast was innocent or tried to speak up for it, their fate was self-evident.

The world still respected the strong, and those Cultivators who were persecuted by the giant beast had, with the passage of time, become strong themselves.

If a junior of the new generation dared to speak for the enemy, then it would depend on how stubborn they were.

If they weren't stubborn and yielded, they would merely suffer serious injuries.

But if they were very stubborn, then it would depend on whether their fate was equally tough. Even if the law of the jungle—the strong preying on the weak—had been somewhat obscured, the privileges of the strong over the weak still persisted.

Therefore, in this climate, such individuals generally did not fare well and consequently held no significant standing.

How could anyone, after experiencing such national and familial hatred, allow their descendants to glorify the enemy? For us Merit Giants, this is utterly preposterous.

The Ascension, prepared for over a year, had finally begun.

Lu Xing appeared calm on the surface, but the trace of unease and tension in his eyes exposed his actual thoughts.

"This time, it's the Five Tribulation Numbers. Absolutely no mistakes can be allowed," Lu Xing urged once more.

This time, their plan was not to become five Merit Giants, but to unite as one, just as they had done before.

It wasn't because the five had become the closest of friends during these hundred years, but rather because doing so would yield a greater chance of success.

Currently, their Dharmic Incarnation Divine Skill was at the Great Success stage. If the five of them merged to form a Merit Giant, it would reach the Fulfillment stage, which was equivalent to stacking the effects of all five of their Divine Skills.

This was the result of a year's preparation.

However, although there was only one Merit Giant formed by their combination, the Tribulation Numbers during Ascension were calculated based on their individual count. Therefore, they naturally had to face fivefold Tribulation Numbers.

This time, our lives are interconnected. Any grievances can be settled after the Ascension. For now, we must be of one heart and mind, Yang Song thought, knowing this was not the time for any scheming. Scheming against others now would be like scheming against myself.

Moreover, they were not only facing the Tribulation of Ascension but also the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast.

Although the Tao Tian League had made thorough preparations to immediately draw away the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast's attention the moment it appeared, they couldn't be certain if its attention would truly be diverted. If not, they would have to face not only the Tribulation but also the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast.

The people from the Tao Tian League won't rescue us. Publicly, they project an image of being great, glorious, and correct, but in reality, in such a perilous situation, no one would sacrifice their own life to help us.

"The time is almost upon us. If there's anything more to say, we can talk about it in the Green Nether Fairyland," Liang Shun interrupted their conversation.

The remaining individuals did not object. Instantly, they activated their Dharmic Incarnations. An immense radiance enveloped the five, transforming them into a colossal Merit Giant.

Compared to other Merit Giants, the giant formed by these five was a blank slate in appearance, and its abilities were not as diverse as those of normal Merit Giants.

The reason, naturally, was that they hadn't concurrently cultivated the "Golden Wheel Wall Skill" or possessed Divine Light Series Magic Treasures. Cultivating the Dharmic Incarnation Divine Skill had already consumed a vast amount of their energy; how could they possibly have any spare effort for anything else?

Fortunately, we aren't too concerned about it. Once we reach the Green Nether Fairyland, it won't be too late to cultivate those anew. Why should we remain in the Qiandao Realm? What if Wang Linchi has tampered with these techniques? Wouldn't we then be controlled by him?

They activated their Mana, and the Ascension began.

Dark clouds gathered densely in the sky, and a vortex of lightning appeared. At its center was not Heaven's Gate, but a black passage—this was, of course, the Ascension Channel leading to the Green Nether Fairyland.

As for Heaven's Gate, it had been destroyed by the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast years ago.

Thick bolts of lightning struck down upon the Merit Giant.

An invisible gravitational force descended upon the Merit Giant, slowly pulling it towards the Ascension Channel.

With the Merit Giant as their shield, they had no fear of the Heavenly Tribulation's threat.

Yet, their hearts were not at ease; they remained suspended in anxiety, for the true danger was the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast.

As they drew ever closer, a terrifying pressure began to emanate.

"ROAR!"

A deafening bestial roar erupted. Visible cracks appeared on the Merit Giant that directly faced the roar. These cracks were located at the junctures where the five had merged. Evidently, because they were not a single, seamless entity, the Merit Giant possessed flaws.

Five overlapping voices roared, "BREAK!!!" as they smashed through the lightning, madly rushing towards the Ascension Channel.

At this moment, they couldn't care less about anything else, not even the sight of countless rays of light appearing behind them, attacking the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast's massive head.

After the bestial roar, the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast revealed its grotesque face. The other Merit Giants, not to be outdone, all attacked simultaneously.

The attacks landed on the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast, naturally provoking an enraged roar from it.

It immediately abandoned the combined giant that was frantically dashing towards the Ascension Channel and turned towards the group of Merit Giants on the ground below.

Forcibly tearing space asunder, its massive body squeezed directly into the Qiandao Realm.

Only then did the assembled Merit Giants truly behold the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast's actual appearance.

Its colossal, heaven-spanning body, the bizarre hues surrounding it, and the oppressive might it exuded, made the very sky and earth seem to change color.

The power of the Immortal Monarch Realm had long since surpassed the Qiandao Realm's capacity to contain it. Unlike Wang Linchi, this being did not restrain its aura, naturally triggering immense upheaval.

It had even begun to affect the Tribulation Numbers the five were facing during their breakthrough.

"Not good! Our Merits are being annihilated!" Lu Xing was the first to sense something was wrong.

Yang Song added, "It's the Heavenly Tribulation! The Heavenly Tribulation is reclaiming the Merits from our bodies! If our Merits become insufficient, the Dharmic Incarnation will vanish!"

Liang Shun estimated, then reassured the other four, "We can make it! Before the Merit Giant perishes, we can successfully break through the Heavenly Tribulation and enter the Ascension Channel!"

The closer they got to the Ascension Channel, the more of the Merit Giant's outer layer was annihilated.

Without the protection of the Dharmic Incarnation Divine Skill and their Merits, the five of them would have absolutely no way to withstand this Fivefold Thunder Tribulation.

BOOM!

A terrifying heatwave swept over them; it was the flames spewed by the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast, affecting the Cross-robbery region of the five.

This counted as good news: the vortex of lightning was scorched by the flames, and the vast majority of it dissipated.

This instantly lessened their pressure. As for the battle between the Tao Tian League and the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast, that was simply not something they needed to concern themselves with.

"One last step! BREAK!" the five roared as they broke through the final bolt of lightning. Simultaneously, their Dharmic Incarnations shattered completely, and all their Merits dispersed at that very moment.

But they could no longer afford to worry about such things now, frantically charging into the Ascension Channel.

The lightning behind them receded into the distance, and the searing heat also gradually subsided.

As they took the final step out, they felt a vast amount of immortal spirit energy from the surrounding heavens and earth surge into their bodies.

Yet, before they even had a chance to rejoice, an aura comparable in might to the Sky-Devouring Huge Beast enveloped them.

A voice boomed in their ears, "I didn't expect someone to ascend at this precise moment. As it happens, the southern mining veins are still short a few workers. You lot can fill those spots."

The five were utterly unable to withstand the might carried by the sound; they fainted on the spot and lost all consciousness.

They had never, ever imagined that such a calamity would befall them after Ascension. Before they could even process what was happening, they were seized and sent off to become miners.
