Chapter 1173 - Wood Calamity
An incomparably sharp aura poured down from the sky, as though nothing could stand in its way.
Tang Huan's body continued to float upwards without the slightest bit of hesitation. Hu Si who was at the highest point was the first to encounter the first wave of golden tribulation. These rays of golden light were dozens of meters long. They resembled shooting stars that tore through the air and descended with shocking speed, dragging a long tail behind them.
Hu Si was the strongest, and the heavenly tribulation she faced was also the most powerful.
However, whether it was the fire tribulation, the earth tribulation, or the metal tribulation, they all posed no threat to him.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light had been destroyed.
After Hu Si, it was Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya who had to bear the metal tribulation. Tang Huan was next. This time, Tang Huan did not use his fist again, but brandished the "Hundred Lava Flame Spear" in his hand. When they were a hundred meters apart, a spear ray that was surrounded by blazing flames shot out.
"Boom —"
Amidst the piercing sound, the heavenly tribulation of Five Elements continued without end.
After the twenty-seven cycle of the Golden Tribulation, it would be the twenty-seven cycle of the Water Tribulation, and then the twenty-seven cycle of the Wood Tribulation … The power of the Heaven Stage was getting stronger and stronger, and the number of creatures that could endure till now was getting fewer and fewer.
Relying on the powerful "Battle King's Gold Body", Tang Huan steadily climbed upwards.
In this Heavenly Road, the consumption of true essence from using the 'Battle-King's Golden Body' far surpassed that of the 'Wind, Fire, and Thunder Realms' outside. Initially, Tang Huan had thought that he would have to spend a large amount of precious fruits in order to recover his True Essence in order to maintain this ability.
But as time passed, Tang Huan realized that he had completely overthought things.
Every time when his true essence was about to run out, he would be able to withstand a heavenly tribulation. Then, the energy that was poured into his body not only increased his cultivation, but also caused the true essence in his body to be filled up once more. Until now, Tang Huan had not consumed any strange fruits.
The reason for this was because the True Essence capacity in Tang Huan's body far exceeded that of a Void Transformation Stage cultivator.
If it were any other War Clan cultivator, they would probably not even have enough time to finish the heavenly tribulation before their body's essence was completely used up.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed before the final round of tribulation began.
"Hu!"
An enormous green leaf swept across the sky like a waterfall.
The green leaf looked lively, but in truth, it also contained a boundless life force. However, within the range of the green leaf, this life force condensed into a whirlpool that stirred up Pang Shuo.
However, what the Green Leaf sucking had was not a body, but a life force.
From the first round of this wood tribulation, no matter what form it displayed, the sucking would still be alive, and this was exactly the thing Tang Huan was least afraid of. As long as Tang Huan pushed the business within the "Great Ultimate Spiritual Fire" to its limits, and protected himself, he would not have to worry about his life being lost at all.
Counting it all, within the Five Elements and heavenly tribulation, the wood tribulation was the least threatening.
However, for the other cultivators, other than Hu Si, who was the strongest, who was still a deity, all the speed of the Void Transformation Stage cultivators, including Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya, were greatly reduced. By the time the eighteenth wood tribulation had finished, Tang Huan had already caught up to Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya. By now, Tang Huan had already traveled more than a kilometer away from them.
Not only that, but the massive loss of life energy also made these two peak-level powerhouses look as if they had aged dozens of years.
The originally beautiful Nie Zhitong already had a head full of white hair and wrinkles could be seen on her delicate cheeks. The already old Duan Wuya's body was now even more hunched, as if he had already stepped into a coffin. The other Void Transformation Stage experts also experienced the same situation.
There were even some cultivators who died of old age in the Heavenly Road.
Although Tang Huan had never seen that kind of scene with his own eyes, he could judge the number of wood tribulations that were constantly decreasing from the sky. Until now, out of the first 1000 creatures that entered, only 200 or 300 remained. The number of dead Void Transformation cultivators had actually reached seventy to eighty percent.
Of the puppets that Tang Huan had released, only Geng Xu, Chou Rui, Yin Yu, Ji Haitian and the rest were still alive. All the other Void Transformation Stage cultivators had already been turned into ashes.
Such a death rate was extremely shocking.
If they had known earlier, most of the cultivators would not have entered the third floor of the "Tong Tian Tower". However, Jiu Ling was able to hold on. Especially after the wood tribulation descended, the little guy was like a fish back in water. The powerful aura of death had reduced the power of the wood tribulation to its limit.
Ever since the first round of the wooden tribulation, the nine spirits had been constantly overtaking the Void Transformation cultivators who had been at the forefront. Now, they had already caught up to Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya.
"Whoosh!"
Tang Huan's body moved like a stream of light, the green flames on the surface of his body churning.
The long spear in his hand struck the green leaf whirlpool with an irresistible force, the Strength Qi erupted crazily, in a moment, the green leaf was torn apart, Tang Huan's body froze for a moment, then pierced through the green leaf that was everywhere. In an instant, that familiar energy appeared once more and entered his body.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
Inside the Dantian, an invisible barrier once again shattered and the spiraling went on for another lap.
Seven Transformations Void!
Sensing the change in his own aura, a great joy emerged from the bottom of Tang Huan's heart. In the "Profound Frost Snow World", by relying on the numerous "Profound Ice Red Lotuses", he had directly broken through from the Void Transformation Stage to the Void Transformation Stage Five. Now on the third floor of the Tong Tian Tower, he had once again gone from the Void Transformation Stage Five to the Void Transformation Stage Seven Transformations.
It was right that he had come to the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain"!
If he were to leave this place, he would have to seize every moment to gather energy. He had to not bring him to the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, as the "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace" was still as dilapidated as ever.
"Hu!"
With that thought, Tang Huan suddenly realized that he seemed to have broken through a thin, formless barrier. Immediately after, the space around him began to fluctuate rapidly. Tang Huan felt as if he was enveloped by a gentle force that pulled him forward unceasingly.
After a short moment, the power suddenly disappeared.
Tang Huan felt that his two feet had landed on the ground. Looking ahead, he saw that he was already in a white space, which was around a thousand meters in size. After some thought, Tang Huan realized that this place looked extremely similar to the "Tong Tian Tower".
This should be the so-called "Heaven and Earth dao world." He never thought that it would actually be so small and completely different from the "Mystic Frost and Snow Realm" and the "Wind Fire and Thunder Realm."
"Such pure energy!"
Soon after, Tang Huan couldn't help but get excited.
Within this space, an extremely pure energy seemed to have solidified, giving off an extremely sticky feeling. It was as if a casual grab would allow one to grasp a large amount of the energy. Tang Huan did not know what kind of power it was, but he knew that the quality of this energy was definitely not inferior to the energy he absorbed in the Heavenly Road.
