Chapter 1019
The overwhelming might of heaven pressed down on Xu Shan as he was about to face the Heavenly Tribulation head-on.
At that moment, a roar of celestial fury seemed to echo across the sky above the famous mountain, as if to psychologically crush all those who dared to defy the heavens!
In an instant, a violent aura, deep purple and black, enveloped the entire mountain and even affected the surrounding area.
"Ow."
'Chirp chirp...'
This caused the overburdened birds and beasts to let out shrill screams. It also caused the wandering swordsmen who wanted to find out what was happening in Ghost Valley to cough up blood one after another.
Some even died on the spot!
'Squeak!'
Chen Dingtian, Zhang Liansong, and the others, who had unleashed their righteous spirit, had their feet buried in the hard rock.
Their knees trembled slightly, but they all tried their best to straighten their backs!
That young figure who bravely faced the calamity was using his own way to support the entire mortal realm's martial artists, ensuring that their strength wouldn't be crushed, at least not in their presence!
Anyone can kneel, but they can't!
'Roar! '
At that very moment, Xu Shan, who had not yet exerted his full strength, was struck by the overwhelming power of heaven...
Nine crimson true energies, as they circled around his body, transformed into red dragons.
Having inherited the will of their master, they all opened their blood-red maws to meet the divine might that was trying to make Xu Shan 'submit'.
'boom! '
The two energies collided from a distance!
It burst forth with blinding light and flames.
In that instant, Xu Shan's resolute and stern face was illuminated so clearly by the firelight.
Inside the Imperial Palace, within the Divine Mechanism Hub!
With the help of several high-ranking officials, Yuan Tiangang, who was performing the ritual, immediately bit his finger and used his own blood to draw a Bagua diagram in the purplish-black area of the landscape map that was being covered.
Immediately afterwards, he spoke as if his words were law: "Heaven and Earth are the profound origins, the root of all Qi."
"Cultivate for countless eons, and prove my divine powers..."
"open!"
In an instant, the area on the landscape map that had been obscured by the Heavenly Gang slowly unfolded.
Immediately afterwards, the worshippers, led by Watts, began to perform a spell.
'boom.'
The next second, the activated mountains and rivers reflected a 'sky curtain' on the Qi Yun Platform.
Immediately afterwards, everything that was happening in Guigu Valley was presented to everyone in a somewhat hazy way.
"It really is Supervisor Xu!"
Upon seeing that familiar crimson shadow, many of the worshippers exclaimed on the spot.
At this moment, Zhu Youwei, clutching the hem of her dragon robe, had eyes filled with tension and worry.
"Supervisor Xu, why did you rashly take to the air to meet the attack?"
"Given his expertise in formations, shouldn't he be using the advantageous terrain of Guigu Valley to set up a formation at this time?"
"In that case, perhaps he still has a chance to live."
The worshipper, who was puzzled but impressed, immediately voiced his doubts.
"In the face of the Heavenly Tribulation, the formation hastily erected at the last minute is utterly vulnerable."
"Rather than sitting and waiting to die, it's better to take a gamble."
Upon hearing the news, Qinglong rushed over and said with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang, whose face was slightly pale, forced a smile and said, "Qinglong, you didn't hit the nail on the head."
"Huh? Celestial Master, you mean..."
"His name is Xu Shan."
"Who has ever seen him bow his head to the heavens?"
"Who has ever seen him bow before the Emperor's might?"
When Yuan Tiangang uttered these words in a low, progressively loud voice, the entire Divine Mechanism Hub fell into complete silence!
He was the God of War of the Ming Dynasty!
He is a royal envoy!
He is the Chief Supervisor of the Divine Machine Office!
He was the totem of all the Imperial Guards!
At this moment, he became the representative of countless mortal warriors who sacrificed themselves to slay the heavens.
There is no retreat, only death; there is no surrender!
Inside the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Spirit Pavilion!
Tianyi Daoist, who also used his own spiritual energy to open the 'sky curtain', gathered here with his disciples, gazing up at the crimson figure facing the calamity within the mirror image.
Behind him were not only Gu Wuyai, Jiu Siming, and Zhu Youning, but also his disciples and grand-disciples.
Life is like a game of chess, and I am a pawn. Though my movements are slow, who has ever seen me retreat even half a step?
"Xu Shan's words have become concrete at this moment."
"I have never dared to take this step, for fear of dying and being forgotten."
"So, my inner demons are fear of death and attachment to the world."
Gu Wuyai, who had been stuck at the Ninth Grade Great Perfection for many years, seemed to be muttering to himself, or perhaps revealing his inner demons.
Upon hearing this, Tianyi Daoist, without even turning his head, murmured, "Mortals are mortals, and immortals are immortal. Who says mortals are greedy for life and afraid of death? Who says celestial beings are immortal and carefree?"
"How important is life and death?"
"How insignificant are life and death?"
At this point, the Taoist Tianyi paused briefly, then added meaningfully, "Regardless of whether Xu Shan's fate is a blessing or a curse today..."
"Once he draws his sword, who among the celestial beings would dare to claim immortality without worry?"
'bass! ’
It was as if they were echoing the philosophical words of the Taoist Master Tianyi.
Inside the sky, Xu Shan, who was facing the calamity head-on, drew his sword fiercely the instant he was struck by nine thunderbolts!
'Uh-huh. '
In that instant, the dragon that had formed from lightning patterns on his back roared out with a furious cry of resentment.
Furthermore, it was superimposed on the nine layers of sword intent, perfectly aligned with the master's mind.
The continuously spinning sixth-grade black lotus, after being 'shattered', attached itself piece by piece to Xu Shan's body, transforming into black armor.
The veins on his right arm, holding the knife, bulged as he chopped downwards.
The heavenly might and lightning tribulation that came head-on remained as violent as ever.
But Xu Shan's resolute gaze never changed.
On the contrary, he was even more certain the moment he drew his sword and swung his arm.
"My mortal warriors have to overcome the tribulations of your Heavenly Realm to become saints?"
Look in my eyes!
“Tell me…”
Why?
Xu Shan's sudden words truly stunned everyone.
They understood the first sentence.
But what about the next few sentences?
Birdsong?
dialect?
Or was it the incantation he had comprehended?
'boom! ’
As such questions arose in their minds, the Ninefold Blade Intent slashed fiercely at the Nine Thunder Tribulation.
In an instant, nine thunderclaps, each more piercing than the last, resounded throughout the sky, across the famous mountains, and even across the skies of Shu County.
'boom! '
The first lightning tribulation shattered the golden bell shield attached to Xu Shan's body.
'Bang, bang.'
The second and third lightning tribulations also dimmed the nine scarlet rays of Nine Suns Shining in the Sky!
'Bang, bang, bang!'
The fourth, fifth, and sixth lightning tribulations directly shattered the domain power that Xu Shan had unleashed—the Dao of Limitlessness.
Immediately afterwards...
The most ferocious seventh and eighth lightning tribulations dissolved the 'All Rivers Flow into the Sea' and made Xu Shan's black armor even thinner.
So much so that, in everyone's eyes at this moment, Xu Shan...
When the ninth lightning tribulation struck, he could only rely on his mortal body to resist it.
It should be understood that the power of this ninth tribulation lightning is the sum of the previous eight!
"Resisting eight lightning tribulations is already Xu Shan's limit."
"Now, he can only fight against fate with his life!"
