Chapter 2442 Turning This World Upside Down!
Song Shuhang was a person with a strong heart. People like him often remained calm and composed even in critical situations. Their robust mental resilience allowed them to make rational decisions when facing extreme challenges.
In order to eradicate the liquid metal within the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, Song Shuhang had limited options due to the restrictions on his Inner World, which prevented him from using many external means. He needed to find a solution within those limitations.
Apart from the Krypton Gold Strike, he had a few other potential methods that included the Karmic Saber and a sealing technique he initially intended to use against the fat ball, namely the Holy Ape World Refining technique along with mysterious Whites 1-33.
However, the Karmic Saber was a ruler-level technique, and without the assistance from the Black Dragon World, using it solely with his own power could result in unpredictable outcomes. It might work well if luck was on his side, but it also carried the risk of being ineffective.
To effectively wield the Karmic Saber, Song Shuhang needed to wait for his cultivation chat talent to improve and strengthen his connection with the pendant boss. In this situation, where he had only one chance to strike, the unstable nature of the Karma Blade was not advisable.
As for the Holy Ape's World Refinement and Whites 1-33, they were both limited by the Heavenly Tribulation Realm and required the cooperation of the disposable flying sword, the Small Black Room Destruction Version. These methods introduced too many variables, and if not executed perfectly, they could provide the liquid metal entity with an opportunity to escape.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Song Shuhang concluded that the most suitable approach for the moment was to pay his way through.
Coincidentally, Song Shuhang had recently acquired a batch of heavenly and earthly treasures, along with valuable materials for repairing the Sacred Shadow Land that had been brought by Half-body No. 2 upon its return. Additionally, he possessed a valuable 50% discount coupon.
With a determined resolve, Song Shuhang decided to proceed with this payment strategy.
He understood that if the treasures were expended, he could always acquire more. However, if this enigmatic liquid escaped, it might be lost forever.
"Purchase!" Song Shuhang declared internally.
He retrieved the precious treasures from his bracelet, the spirit stones he had recently acquired, and the valuable materials intended for the repair of the Sacred Shadow Land. Simultaneously, he presented the 50% discount coupon.
He activated Divine Strike!
Song Shuhang's hair stood on end as it took on a brilliant golden hue. Wings of light emerged to form an 'eye' in the space between the wings. This eye synchronized with Song Shuhang's divine third eye to enhance the efficiency of the Krypton Gold Strike.
"Money is but a worldly possession!" Song Shuhang recited an incantation he had created.
Each time he added a treasure to the mix, the strength in Song Shuhang's palms grew stronger. With each increment of power, his trembling hands intensified.
"50% discount coupon!" Finally, he included the coupon within the orb of light.
Song Shuhang pondered how this 50% discount coupon would function. Would it save half of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for his Krypton Gold Strike, or would it double the attack's potency?
The answer became apparent as the 50% discount coupon was absorbed. The energy in Song Shuhang's palms surged exponentially. He could sense that the power of the Divine Strike had increased by several folds. It was indeed the latter!
His heart ached. He had spent a substantial fortune on this divine attack.
Using the eye drops to exchange for treasures from the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had nearly depleted his resources. Most of the acquired treasures had been placed in the Inner World as sacrifices. Song Shuhang had retained only a small portion of the heavenly treasures to aid his disciples in crafting magical treasures.
The repair materials for the Sacred Shadow Land had only included one Qiankun bag, but its quality was exceptionally high. According to the calculations of the Shadow Overlord, the cost of repairing the Sacred Shadow Land was comparable to the flat imperial crown worn by the virtuous lamia and equivalent to an Eighth or Ninth Stage spirit stone, which Song Shuhang possessed.
With a considerable number of treasures and the 50% discount coupon, the power behind this payment-driven strike was overwhelming.
Curiously, Song Shuhang had noticed a peculiar trend. Each time he employed the Krypton Gold Strike, it was somehow linked to the fat ball. In the Scholarly Faction, he had used it to confront the Scholarly Sage's obsession, ultimately exhausting his resources and executing the attack on the fat ball's incarnation. This battle had solidified his unique status in the Scholarly Faction, although he had lost much in the process.
Subsequently, during his escape from the Wielder's small black room, Song Shuhang had once again expended all his assets to execute the Krypton Gold Strike against the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball. It had left him bankrupt and fleeing.
Now, having gathered a considerable number of treasures, Song Shuhang had once more emptied his pockets to employ the Krypton Gold Strike against this droplet.
Three different Krypton Gold Strikes, each tied to the fat ball, the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball, and the Heavenly Dao, had depleted Song Shuhang's wealth.
'You make my heart ache so much that I can't breathe, so I'll make your body stop breathing!' Song Shuhang's inner cry reflected the emotional and financial turmoil he had experienced.
"One Hit of Krypton Gold—Divine Strike!" Song Shuhang's voice resounded like rolling thunder as it echoed throughout the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
Pavilion Master Chu could hear the anguish in Song Shuhang's roar.
With a deafening boom, the energy on Song Shuhang's fingertip transformed into a brilliant white light, piercing through the droplet engulfed in white smoke.
At that moment, nothing else existed in the world but this radiant white light.
Wherever the light passed, everything disintegrated.
The entire Profound Sage Heavenly Tribulation Realm trembled violently. The sea of lightning dissipated, and the tribulation clouds ruptured.
It was as if doomsday had arrived.
The liquid metal was annihilated by the beam of light. It disintegrated along with the surrounding space before being consumed by the explosion of the light.
The residual power of the strike reverberated within the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm for an extended period.
No being could survive such an onslaught.
"Has the target been eradicated?" Pavilion Master Chu inquired, her disbelief apparent. She could no longer sense her target's presence.
Song Shuhang retracted his finger and accessed his cultivation chat friend list.
[Ding! Your friend 'Blacklist 2,' member Heavenly Dao Sphere has perished.]
Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief.
He intended to share the good news with Pavilion Master Chu, but before he could speak, the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm suddenly erupted.
The spatial confines of the Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation could no longer contain the tumultuous force and exploded instantly.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
On this day, the first Sage in a thousand years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, overturned the table and set a new record by transcending the tribulation!
