Chapter 260: Wind Blades and Frost Swords
"Give this Dragon Fish to me as well; here are one hundred immortal essence stones." Liu Chen said as he stored that desolate beast Dragon Fish into his own immortal aperture.
Then, he took out the immortal essence stones from his robes, handed them to Fei Hongyun, and said with a smile, "Master will consider this as buying those previous two desolate beasts as well!"
In fact, Liu Chen did not intend to keep these desolate beasts formed by the Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity for his own use.
After all, they contained heaven's will within them; if he forcibly refined and used them, it would likely invite unexpected trouble. Thus, after some careful consideration, Liu Chen decided to put all these desolate beasts up for sale on Treasure Yellow Heaven. Although it was somewhat wasteful, it was much safer.
After handling the transaction, Liu Chen turned his head, his gaze falling upon Bian Sixuan and Zhao Lianyun beside him, and asked with a smile, "Hongyun has already successfully ascended to an immortal. Next, it's your turn. Who among you will go first?"
Hearing this, Bian Sixuan and Zhao Lianyun exchanged a glance and fell into silence; Undergoing Tribulation to ascend to an immortal was inherently fraught with difficulties.
After a moment of silence, Bian Sixuan was the first to break the deadlock, softly saying to Liu Chen, "Master, let your disciple try first."
Liu Chen nodded slightly in agreement and then spoke, "Alright, in that case, you shall be the one to attempt the Breakthrough in Realm. Go with peace of mind; Master will be here as your Protector to ensure everything is foolproof."
Bian Sixuan acted decisively, without hesitation activating the surging purple crystal true essence within her Aperture, which rushed towards her Aperture like a bursting flood. With a crisp "crack," the Aperture instantly shattered!
At the same time, an incredibly powerful aura erupted from her, as if it wanted to pierce through the clouds. This aura swept through the surroundings like a tornado, drawing the heaven and earth qi to undergo Fusion and rapidly gathering toward Bian Sixuan's body.
Bian Sixuan was a renowned Shadow Assassin in Northern Plains! Not only that, she had even personally participated in that Imperial Court contest! Now, she had made a great name for herself in the Eastern Sea region, and the human qi she had accumulated was quite considerable.
However, even though Bian Sixuan possessed such vast human qi, she was still a notch below Fei Hongyun.
After all, the human qi Fei Hongyun possessed was simply enough to blot out the sky! That being said, even Bian Sixuan's own human qi was comparable to Tai Bai Yun Sheng's!
Having successfully assisted Fei Hongyun in resisting the Heavenly Tribulation before, Liu Chen appeared much more experienced when facing the same situation. He waved his palm again, scattering countless precious and rare petty gu into the air. They then devoured the surrounding heaven and earth qi at an extremely fast speed, thereby greatly reducing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation that Bian Sixuan had to endure.
The heaven and earth qi merged and gathered together, accompanied by bursts of rumbling and sharp, ear-piercing whistles, as an extremely violent storm suddenly descended! This storm was like a ferocious giant beast, roaring and brandishing its claws, its astonishing power leaving one speechless.
The wild winds roared, like countless sharp blades rapidly shuttling through the air, the sound of them tearing through the air being deafening. These wind blades were ubiquitous; wherever they went, whether it was rock as hard as iron or the surging sea, nothing could withstand their fierce assault. The sea seemed to be split open by a giant war blade, kicking up monstrous waves in a soul-stirring scene.
Earth Calamity: Wind Blade Tribulation!
Meanwhile, Bian Sixuan, who was currently in the midst of this terrifying storm, felt as if she had fallen into a high-speed meat grinder; her situation was exceptionally dangerous.
She did not dare to be the least bit negligent, exerting all her strength to activate the Shadow Escape Valley Worms within her body, causing it to rapidly transform into a pitch-black shadow so that she could flexibly dodge those lethal wind blade attacks.
However, just as Bian Sixuan breathed a sigh of relief, the dark clouds that were originally rolling overhead suddenly began to surge violently.
Immediately after, a rare spectacle appeared—"snow" actually began to fall from the sky! But upon closer inspection, one would find that these so-called "snowflakes" were not snowflakes in the true sense, but a dense rain of swords composed of countless crystal-clear ice and snow swords!
Heavenly Tribulation: Frost Sword Tribulation!
"Master!" Zhao Lianyun cried out, her face full of terror and her voice trembling. The terrifying scene of the calamity before her made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body cold. Only at this moment did she deeply realize that the danger of Undergoing Tribulation far exceeded her imagination. It turned out that not everyone could be as lucky as that dummy to encounter a relatively weak calamity.
Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Bian Sixuan, who was struggling against the disaster, her heart filled with worry and fear. She was afraid that her Senior Sister might be swallowed whole by this destructive power if she wasn't careful. Meanwhile, she didn't dare to relax in the slightest, knowing that it would soon be her turn to face the same cruel trial.
At that moment, the previously silent Liu Chen suddenly broke the silence. His tone was exceptionally calm, yet the majesty contained within it could not be ignored: "Your Senior Sister can still hold the situation for now, but you must immediately adjust your state and prepare to face the upcoming challenge of Undergoing Tribulation!"
Fei Hongyun, who had already ascended to an immortal, was also somewhat surprised that the calamity of immortal ascension could be so terrifying.
This is quite interesting! Such a scene is what a normal calamity should be like!
Standing to the side, Liu Chen's gaze was tightly locked on Bian Sixuan, who was weaving freely between the wind blades and frost swords. A slight smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth as he nodded gently, expressing his appreciation and affirmation of her coping ability.
Just then, Bian Sixuan's figure flashed, swiftly passing through layers of wind blades like a phantom to reach a relatively safe spot.
However, before she could catch her breath, even more and fiercer wind blades and frost swords swept toward her, blotting out the sky.
Seeing the critical situation, Liu Chen did not hesitate to unleash his most powerful Immortal Path Killer Move—Difficulty-Removing Sword Light!
In an instant, a dazzling sword light shot out from his hand, like a giant Dragon soaring into the sky, charging straight into that terrifying storm woven from wind blades and frost swords with the momentum of a thunderbolt.
With a loud boom, the sword light and the storm collided violently, bursting with countless sparks and light.
Subsequently, the sword light was unstoppable, forcefully tearing a gap in the center of the storm before plunging headlong into the rolling dark clouds above.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light vanished, but it took away a full third of the Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity!
However, after only a moment, the Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity seemed to sense something amiss and began to surge frantically, showing signs of returning to their original state. Faster than words can say, Liu Chen, seeing this, did not dare to be negligent and immediately swung the longsword in his hand, consecutively striking out two dazzling Difficulty-Removing Sword Lights, fiercely bombarding those calamities that had not yet dissipated.
The two Difficulty-Removing Sword Lights collided, shattering into countless tiny sword lights that covered the entire Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity, directly causing all the Heavenly Tribulation and Earth Calamity to vanish into nothingness.
