Chapter 456: Chapter 370: Teleportation Departure
Outside the forbidden land, a blue sword light suddenly halted, exclaiming in shock, "How is this possible? This is the aura of a great emperor?"
Qingzi the Great Saint revealed his true form, looking fearfully at the top of the forbidden land, sensing an irresistible pressure that made him dare not advance further.
He was somewhat agitated, "Damn it, that birdman must have swallowed the Emperor Pill, I have no chance now!"
At that moment, the sky, previously without a cloud, suddenly filled with dark clouds, streaks of electricity appearing with rolling thunder.
Qingzi was momentarily stunned, "Is it really the Emperor’s Tribulation? Hmph, it’s not easy to step into the realm of a great emperor. I’ll wait for you to fail the tribulation, and I’ll take your Emperor’s Blood. It won’t be much less effective."
He abruptly retreated, waiting for the outcome of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Meanwhile, Yan Cang, looking weak, saluted an elder, "Grandfather."
The elder, just arriving, didn’t look at him but towards the forbidden land, "It’s not your fault this time. Who would have thought a phoenix preparing to become an emperor was lying dormant here?"
Under the elder’s gaze, thick purple lightning as wide as barrels roiled within the clouds, faintly illuminating a multi-colored phoenix within.
"Let’s see if it can survive. If it fails, perhaps you’ll have the chance to undergo Phoenix Blood Tempering Body, allowing your roots and bones to take another step forward."
Outside the ruins, numerous ambushed members of the Demon Race didn’t wait for adventurers who gained treasures, but instead saw the scene of the phoenix emerging.
"What is this? Such terrifying pressure!"
"This isn’t good, it’s a Heavenly Tribulation. What kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this, covering the entire forbidden land!"
Before they could grasp the situation, the thundercloud had quickly formed, the world shone brightly, and immediately a thick purple lightning bolt struck down towards the phoenix.
This is precisely the advent of the Heavenly Tribulation after nirvana.
The phoenix showed no fear; merely breaking through is not enough, it must cross the tribulation to completely stabilize its realm.
This is a trial it must pass, so there’s nothing to fear, confronting the lightning head-on.
As the first bolt of lightning hit, its entire body erupted with multi-colored light, contending with the purple lightning.
For a moment, fire and lightning intertwined, erupting with deafening roars.
The earth inside and outside the ruins began to shake violently, seemingly unable to withstand the impact of this powerful force, forming numerous cracks.
The ambushed outsiders screamed, caught by the aftermath, and most were killed or injured on the spot.
Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan felt the ground shake as they saw the situation outside through the Array’s projection, involuntarily frightened.
"Never thought I’d witness an Emperor’s Tribulation in my lifetime."
Shi Kongxuan was dumbfounded, then shuddered, "Fortunately, son-in-law, we didn’t go out, otherwise..."
Shen Wang nodded. If they ventured out, not only would they be targeted by those lurking outside, but also be shattered to pieces by the aftermath of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Shen Wang continued to watch the struggle between the phoenix and the Heavenly Tribulation, meanwhile placing a Magic Crystal into the Teleportation Array, simultaneously forming seals to activate the Array Power to light up the Array.
Otherwise, with his strength, it would be very difficult to activate such an advanced Teleportation Array.
Buzz buzz!
Spatial waves, the Teleportation Array radiated brilliant light, with a twist in the space within, a patch of darkness appearing, seemingly leading to an unknown place.
"Did it work?"
Shi Kongxuan asked uncertainly.
"It did."
Shen Wang nodded,
Shi Kongxuan was extremely excited, "Then let’s go quickly."
"No rush, due to the Heavenly Tribulation, surrounding spatial waves are violent, even causing spatial cracks to appear; teleportation at this time might lead to problems."
Shen Wang, having been spooked by a previous teleportation mishap, preferred to wait; he didn’t want to be swept away by a space storm again.
This world is of a higher level, and possibly encountering a space storm equals certain death.
Shi Kongxuan’s expression changed, glanced at the Heavenly Tribulation, gritted his teeth, "Not to mention if it can successfully cross the tribulation, even if it succeeds, it would likely be exhausted, and still has to deal with the strong ones attracted over. It probably won’t have time to bother with us."
"I think so too."
Shen Wang watched the situation of the Heavenly Tribulation, waiting for the best moment to activate the Teleportation Array.
After initially enduring the Heavenly Tribulation’s strikes, the phoenix fell on the losing end, as each subsequent lightning bolt contained world-destroying power, each more terrifying than the last.
Even relying on its tenacious will and the power of rebirth, fending off the attacks again and again, as the Heavenly Tribulation intensified, it began to struggle.
The phoenix’s body bore numerous charred marks, many of its feathers struck down by the lightning, its aura somewhat weakened.
Its gaze grew ever more determined, with each flap of its wings dispersing the surrounding ordinary lightning, but succumbing to the purple tribulation lightning repeatedly striking from above.
Rumble!
Two more bolts of tribulation lightning, it spat blood, suffering considerable damage.
It calculated the next wave of tribulation, turned, and plunged into the ruins, activating the Array.
With the descent of the tribulation, the entire ruins shook violently, the Array Power incredibly fragile, shattering into pieces in an instant.
Underground, Shen Wang’s ears buzzed, realizing the comprehensive array of the ruins was shattered by lightning. If not hiding deep underground, they might have been destroyed as well.
They suddenly lost the projection of the outside world, Shen Wang anxiously sensing, feeling an even more terrifying force descending.
Boom!
The entire underground volcano cracked open, a part split directly, even allowing a glimpse of the outside.
Shen Wang hastily activated the remnant Array Power to avoid being buried.
He protected the Teleportation Array, startled at the exterior, even though this was a hundred feet underground, merely scored by a bolt of lightning, this Mahayana Tribulation was truly terrifying.
Afterwards, above suddenly fell silent.
Peering through the crack in the volcano, Shen Wang saw the Heavenly Tribulation abruptly cease, the dark clouds gradually dissipating, the sky restored to clarity.
The multi-colored phoenix was nowhere in sight, not even its aura could be sensed.
"Did it fail?"
Shen Wang murmured.
"Probably struck dead, the Emperor’s Tribulation isn’t something easily overcome."
Shi Kongxuan remarked.
"Let’s get ready to leave."
Shen Wang sensed the nearby space rapidly stabilizing with the cessation of the Heavenly Tribulation, immediately activating the Array, with mysterious power gathering.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Teleportation Array emitted dazzling light, condensing a light beam as Shen Wang saw the foundation was intact, altering some elements with seals.
The Teleportation Array began absorbing energy, the Magic Crystal Shen Wang had thrown in instantly dimmed, with the surrounding remnant Array Power drained completely, then the space trembled, a dark shadow light beam tore through the void, carving a passage.
"Go!"
Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan stepped onto the Teleportation Array, choosing the direction of Black Stone City, initiating teleportation, with even more terrifying Power of Space unleashed.
Simultaneously, within the ruins, where the Heavenly Tribulation struck had melted, revealing a damaged multi-colored small tower, beside it, a dim cluster of five-colored fire.
Lying there was a completely charred phoenix, seemingly reduced to ashes.
Spatial fluctuations arrived, crack, its body shattered, a miniature phoenix emerging.
It looked around cautiously and confusedly, shrinking its body, letting out a low chirp.
The ground trembled, a light beam shot out from the nearby volcano, it hesitated, rolled up the broken small tower, transformed into a blaze, and charged forward.
Shi Kongxuan seeing the surrounding space distort, feeling assured as the transmission began.
Just as the space twisted and darkness encroached, a blaze broke through the teleportation barrier, diving straight into his arms.
