Episode 146

  It was just when the sky and earth were changing colors, and dark clouds were rolling in, that the fifteen powerful ones who had been cultivating ascended to ride on the clouds and arrive. The fifteen cultivators gazed at the strange and wondrous heavenly phenomena, their feet unconsciously coming together as they stood still, their eyes wide with wonder.

  "What does this celestial sign mean?"

  "Could it be that some extraordinary treasure has been born?"

  "I don't know! I've never heard of it before."

  "It seems like, it seems like a demon cultivator crossing tribulations?"

  "Will the demon cultivator cross the tribulation? The tribulation cloud is indeed so! What tribulation has such might? Which direction does the demon cultivator have such power?"

  "For several hundred years, there has been no news."

  "Never mind! Since we've already come this far, let's capture that puppet Feng Cheng first."

  "What the Taoist brother said is true."

  All practitioners are like this.

  The five teams of fifteen looked at each other, suddenly shouted in unison, and drove the clouds to hunt down the insufficient ones.

  At this time, the anxious Chang'er was about to break through the great calamity, when suddenly the 15th Great Repair came crashing in, causing her heart to worry greatly! Fearing that at this moment they would fight and harm Chang'er, she turned around wanting to leave, but was quickly blocked by the two Repairs.

  "Hmph! Where are you going? You insignificant ant, I shall grant you a death!"

  Yi Shang Xiu Da De let out a cold snort, pointed with his finger, and the void shook instantly. A giant fist suddenly appeared out of thin air, and Yi Shang Xiu Da De pointed again, causing the giant fist to strike down at Bu Zu's body in mid-air. Bu Zu felt that the heavenly energy and primordial forces around him were being suppressed, his own Qi mechanism was locked down, and escape was impossible.

  "What's there to fear when death is all that awaits!"

  Then did not avoid.

  Insufficient rage fills his eyes, which are wide open and bloodshot. He clenches his fists tightly, constantly chanting incantations in his mouth, combining the four incantations with the must-kill technique of Heart Method to achieve a state of transcendence. With a loud shout, he charges forward to meet the attack head-on.

  "Hum! You insignificant ants! Dare to insult my abilities and disobey my will? Kill!"

  That great virtue rose in anger and struck out. His massive fist suddenly accelerated downwards.

  Crack!

  A flash of lightning suddenly appeared at the intersection of the insufficient and the large hand. After that, a sound like thunder roared out. The figure of the insufficient jumped up, suddenly sinking down.

  Get out!

  It was like a wooden stake striking the ground, and half of his body directly inserted into the rocky peak of this mountain! The soil layer had long since disappeared, and it was impossible to stand on the rocky stone, extremely hard. However, the enormous force he received was all guided by his killing technique's mental method, directly entering the stony rock at his feet. In an instant, the hard stone turned to powder, and the massive boulder split open. He managed to resolve most of the force that his body had received. After all, a master who has reached the peak of the Way is like a land-based immortal, and one strike from him contains a thread of divine power that remains in the body, still causing no small harm. Indeed, at this moment, not even a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, but his face turned from flushed to deathly pale, unbearable to behold.

  "Hmm! This little ant is actually quite sturdy! It's rather that I've disgraced myself!"

  That great virtue above is enraged and ashamed, and wants to take out his flying sword to kill this cultivator.

  "Haha... It's been many years, Brother Dao's hands have gone soft!"

  In the blink of an eye, with a flick of his sleeve, seventy-six flying swords shot out like fish swimming in the air, spinning once before diving straight down to slash at Insufficient. Seeing this one strike could be fatal, it was not surprising that fear and dread filled his heart! There was no way to avoid or escape, and in this moment of life and death, with only a hair's breadth between survival and demise, Insufficient suddenly sprang up, flying towards the swords. The cultivator on the cloud saw this and continuously chanted incantations, as the seventy-six flying swords shot through like meteors, instantly piercing through Insufficient's body that had flipped over, before curling back up in a double layer formation. Dozens of inner swords pointed at Insufficient's mortal body, while the outer layer of sword blades turned inward, seemingly not intent on killing him, but rather having an air of protection and shelter.

  At that time, he was not yet willing to close his eyes and wait for death. The swords on both sides had already reached the point of destroying his body, but his body was suspended in mid-air, unable to fall, as if it were being held back by some kind of prohibition. He slightly opened his eyes, only to see that he was surrounded by a ring of sword lights, which trapped his body inside and prevented him from falling. The tips of the swords shone with a cold light, and it seemed that if he made even the slightest movement, his life would be over in an instant. He turned his head to look down, and suddenly felt as if he were naked; then, sweeping his gaze downward again, he saw that the clothes on his body had been stripped away piece by piece, and the leather belt around his waist was dangling off to one side, swaying back and forth. The package in his bosom had already been thrown out, and was now falling towards the rocks below.

  "Ah! Mother!"

  Insufficient to sink his body, he wanted to rush towards the package. However, dozens of flying swords blocked him, what could he do?

  One of them flew over and grabbed the falling package, while another shouted:

  "How dare you!"

  A bolt of lightning suddenly struck, and Fei Lunzhi flipped his body to avoid the attack, furious:

  "Despicable! You actually launched a sneak attack!"

  "Hmmph!"

  Another flash of lightning swept across, and the package suddenly burst into flames, revealing two objects inside. One object was like a box, unknown what material it was made of, but emitting five-colored light, obviously not an ordinary object! The other object was like a coffin, probably carved out of ordinary stone materials.

  "Jiǔ Líng Shén Hé! Nǎi shì Jiǔ Líng Shén Hé!"

  Translation:

  "The Nine Spirit Divine Box! It is the Nine Spirit Divine Box!"

  "Ah! What? Can borrow the heaven and earth's vital energy to repair the spirit's most precious treasure?"

  "Indeed! With this treasure in hand, the path of cultivation will be greatly smoothed, and there will be no more obstacles!"

  "Nine Spirits Divine Box! Passed down for ten thousand years in the Shi family, a treasure that remains even after the clan's destruction, an object that defies heaven. Younger brother, come forth!"

  "Hum! The divine treasure has a spirit, only those with virtue can possess it!"

  "Take this! You little scoundrel! Die!"

  In an instant, the area of a thousand feet was in chaos, with magical instruments flying wildly, clashing and colliding, creating a deafening din that shook the heavens and darkened the earth, blocking out the sun and moon. They were all masters of the Great Way, possessing extraordinary powers, and although they weren't fighting for their lives at this moment, who would dare to retreat in front of the treasure? It was just like when Chang'er crossed her tribulation, where even the most skilled cultivators wouldn't be foolish enough not to recognize that if they continued to fight for too long, they risked being affected by the Great Tribulation of the Broken Void and dying unjustly. At this moment, each side still possessed their divine abilities, and the battle was intense and thrilling. But I was insufficient and couldn't hold my ground in the center of this war circle, unable to escape no matter how hard I tried to dodge left and right. As soon as there was a slight opening, another cultivator would come to attack. Alas, all I could do was desperately block and parry, jumping up and down in a most undignified manner!

  Those two objects were frequently hit, but not only did they not fall on the mountain rocks, but they actually rose higher and higher. More than a dozen cultivators surrounded them, fighting with all their might. At that time, the flying swords outside his body had already been drawn in by the cultivators to join the battle, only the inner layer remained, still revolving around his body.

  Inside the Jiuling Divine Box, the small, beautiful figure condensed from Bai Jiao's soul suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

  "How could the Jiuling Divine Box be attacked like this? How is that possible? Oh no! It can't be, it must be that my sister has encountered danger!"

  He immediately stopped his cultivation and slowly released his spiritual awareness outside the box for a look.

  "Aha! Sister has also suffered a great calamity! It must be that she was besieged by the cultivators of this land! Alas, alas! Where is brother?"

  With delicate and cleverness, it didn't take long to understand the reason. Looking at the place where Qian'er crossed the tribulation, the tribulation cloud condensed, in the central part of which a purple light group slowly rotated like a round plate. The purple color gradually became dazzling, and soon it was ablaze with flames, transforming into a ball. However, this ball was not fire-red in color, but instead displayed an extremely strange and eerie hue, seemingly a mixture of dark red and black, both sacred and evil!

  Dark clouds continue to gather and come in endlessly.

  Boom!

  A single sound resonates.

  Crack!

  A flash of lightning.

  Clang clang!

  The sound of a vessel shattering into pieces.

  After the earth-shaking sound, the giant ball in the center of the calamity cloud cracked open, and several blood-red light balls flew down, directly falling towards Chang'er's head. Chang'er was both anxious and vigilant about the situation, while also using her divine powers to defend against it.

  "Ah!"

  A mournful cry. The true body of Chang'er burst forth, a golden giant snake over ten thousand feet long and nearly a hundred feet thick suddenly appeared before their eyes. Those several glowing orbs struck down one by one, exploding with a shocking divine energy impact that transmitted its shockwaves in an instant, even though they were hundreds of miles away, the crowd of cultivators still felt their breathing become difficult, their divine senses unable to emerge. The true body of Chang'er was instantly riddled with wounds, golden blood spraying out, while its snake head still turned towards the insufficient place.

  "Chang'er!"

  Insufficient, frantic and mournful howling.
