Chapter 203 - 203: 157: Nascent Soul Heavenly Calamity_3

A name flashed through his mind, but the figure’s speed just now was too fast, not at all inferior to the speed of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Just then.

The Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, which had collided with the colossal sky-piercing sword, suddenly shrank rapidly, and then flew into the Heavenly Tribulation. The figure covered by lightning caught it in their hand.

At that moment.

The fifth Heavenly Tribulation struck, the figure trembled violently, blood spilling into the void.

The sixth Heavenly Tribulation struck, a faint golden light emanated from the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, enveloping the figure and resisting the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. As the Heavenly Tribulation was about to dissipate, the figure suddenly opened the Pill Furnace and swallowed the Heavenly Tribulation into its belly.

Whoosh!

The Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, and the sky cleared.

A figure, tattered robe fluttering, stood in the void, holding a purple pill furnace in his hand.

Above the figure’s head, a miniaturized version of the figure, only one foot tall, emerged from the body and hovered in mid-air.

Nascent Soul.

Upon sensing some kind of invisible fetters, the Nascent Soul reentered the figure’s body.

The pill furnace held by the figure, on which divine fire floated, was an extremely precious treasure. The spirit of the treasure rejoiced, as if it had received a great immortal affinity by swallowing half a thunder tribulation.

To put it briefly.

From the moment the thunder erupted and the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, to the figure soaring into the sky and the six successive Heavenly Tribulations, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

What Han Yi saw was only the surface; he didn’t see how much resistance the person undergoing the tribulation had put up within the thunder tribulation.

The might of Heavenly Tribulation was no ordinary matter.

Only at this moment did a startled cry erupt, containing uncontainable fear.

“Nascent Soul Tribulation!”

This voice actually came from the mouth of the Blood God Sect Master, Jiang Yichuan.

His cold and stern face suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.

Then.

In mid-air, the giant sword shrank rapidly into a long sword of about one meter in length, returned to the ground at his feet, and in the next instant, he fled on the sword.

However.

He was fast, but someone was faster.

In the sky, the figure holding the Pill Furnace revealed their true face after the thunder, or Heavenly Tribulation, had dissipated. It was none other than the previously severely wounded Yuan Shun.

Without uttering a word, Yuan Shun gently tossed the Pill Furnace forward, and it instantly swelled to a size of ten zhang (about 33 meters) tall. Breaking through the void as if teleporting, the Pill Furnace descended directly above Jiang Yichuan’s head, looming over him.

“Half-step Treasure?” Jiang Yichuan instinctively looked up, and these four words flashed through his mind.

Then.

Bang!

The Pill Furnace crashed down, obliterating both Jiang Yichuan’s physical body and divine soul with this Treasure that had just been baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation and had given birth to a trace of immortal aura.

The Blood God Sect Master, Golden Core Ninth Stage, Jiang Yichuan, perished.

The Blood God Sword whined as it fell, piercing one of the outer peaks. That peak immediately split in two, creating two isolated peaks.

On the other side.

Feng Wusheng, who had just exhausted Mu Jianxu, turned around and fled without a word. His speed was even faster than Jiang Yichuan’s.

When fleeing, he saw Jiang Yichuan crushed to death, and his divine soul trembled. Without hesitation, he swept his divine sense around and saw the second and fourth deputy sect masters of the Heavenly Soul Sect, one of whom was in the Golden Core Early Stage, and the other in the Middle Golden Core Stage. The two cultivators’ eyes darkened, and as if they were puppets, they threw themselves at Feng Wusheng without any hesitation, standing behind him.

Then, they self-detonated, turning their magic treasures, divine souls, and bodies into terrifying destructive energy, rushing towards Yuan Shun.

These two deputy sect masters had, unbeknownst to them, been controlled by Feng Wusheng long ago through restrictions on their divine souls. At this critical moment of life and death, he could not afford to hold back.

Just then.

In the void, the Pill Furnace inhaled and absorbed the two Golden Core cultivators who were in the midst of self-detonation.

Boom, boom, boom.

Their self-destruction turned into continuous muffled sounds in the Pill Furnace.

Meanwhile, Feng Wusheng took advantage of the brief moment to flee several thousand meters away. He even somehow unleashed a secret technique to increase his speed, and ghostly wailing and howling echoed in the places his body passed through.

Yuan Shun did not give chase. Instead, he looked around for the first time.

At this moment, the scenery in Xuandan Sect had changed drastically. Among the nine Inner Peaks, four had been sunk, one was tilting and about to collapse, three had been destroyed by supernatural artifacts, and one had been split, with either hellish flames, ghosts running rampant, or destruction beneath a sea of blood.

And the cultivators of the Xuandan Sect suffered heavy casualties.

In midair, among Golden Core Stage Cultivators, only Zhuge Wu You remained, and there were only a few scattered Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After scanning the scene, his expression darkened.

“You all deserve to die!”

The usually gentle Yuan Shun couldn’t help but reveal his overwhelming anger at this moment.

The suspended Pill Furnace seemed to sense its master’s rage, suddenly opening and releasing the Xuan Yuan Six Ding Divine Fire. As the divine fire passed through, all the cultivators’ bodies, Divine Souls, magic weapons, and even treasures were all melted away.

“It’s Yuan Shun!”

“Damn, he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage!”

“Run! Damn it, wasn’t he supposed to be severely injured?”

“We’re finished!”

“Run, run, run…”

At this moment, the cultivators in the sky finally came to their senses after the shocking scene.

Blood God Sect Master Jiang Yichuan was killed, Heavenly Soul Sect Master escaped, and the second and fourth deputy sect masters of the Heavenly Soul Sect died from self-explosion.

The sudden change happened so quickly that the Foundation Establishment cultivators were completely dumbfounded. At this moment, as they came to their senses, their hairs stood on end and they fled for their lives.

However, it was useless.

The Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, which had transformed into a Half-step Treasure under the Heavenly Tribulation, was not something ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could imagine. Even more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators were swallowed by the divine fire in an instant.

In less than ten breaths of time, there were no more invading enemies in the sky. Only seven Golden Core cultivators and a small portion of the outermost Foundation Establishment cultivators escaped.

Yuan Shun gently beckoned and held the Pill Furnace in his hand. The purple Pill Furnace and Yuan Shun, who stood in the void, were now the focus of the entire Xuandan Sect.

Then, he took a step forward and chased after them.

At the back of the mountain, Han Yi, who had entered the woods, also saw this scene.

He had only one emotion in his heart.

Elation.

The Xuandan Sect didn’t have to be destroyed, he didn’t have to become a loose cultivator, and he didn’t have to worry about the pursuit of the Blood God Sect and Heavenly Soul Sect. This was the reason for his elation.

He walked out of the woods, his gaze fell on the chaos in the Inner and Outer Peaks, and without stopping, he flew up to the Inner Peak on his sword.

At this moment,

The battle between the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples on the Inner and Outer Peaks of the Xuandan Sect was still going on. To be more accurate, the invaders were trying to escape, and the disciples of the Xuandan Sect were holding them back.

Han Yi joined the battle on his sword, like a wolf among sheep. No enemy could match the power of his Green Reed Sword, and he even decapitated a legendary cultivator of the Qi Cultivation stage with a single sword stroke.

At this moment, there was no such rule that Foundation Establishment cultivators were not allowed to attack Qi Cultivation cultivators. The sect was on the verge of destruction, so who would care about such rules? Any more hesitation would result in more Xuandan Sect disciples being killed.

In an instant, the atmosphere was filled with murderous intent, as chasing, escaping, and slaughtering scenes unfolded, from the inner Xuandan Sect to the outer Xuandan Sect, and even spreading to the five major Immortal Cities.

Han Yi didn’t chase down the mountain but returned to the sect at the foot of

Xuandan Mountain on his sword.

He stopped in midair and looked at the still-enraged Xuandan Sect. After a long time, he sighed.

“This is both the misfortune and the great fortune of the Xuandan Sect.”

At this moment,

Yuan Shun returned after chasing and killing several fleeing Golden Core cultivators, and the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace in his hand had a few new karmic fires.

Seeing Han Yi, he nodded to him, but didn’t speak and directly returned to Xuandan Peak.

Han Yi bowed in return, and as he looked up at Yuan Shun who entered Xuandan Peak, his expression became slightly serious.

Yuan Shun’s expression just now seemed a little off.

Han Yi didn’t notice this through his Qi Observation Skill. With Yuan Shun’s level, it would be futile to try and observe him using that skill. It was purely Han Yi’s intuition.

Could it be that Yuan Shun had been injured even in the pursuit just now?

It was possible. Although Yuan Shun had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he had just entered the early-stage. After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, he had killed numerous Golden Core cultivators, which might have had some unknown cost to him.

Han Yi remained floating in the void, his gaze sweeping over the battered Xuandan Sect, not relaxing in the slightest, but instead, a sense of urgency was added.

The battle was over, and the ensuing post-war matters would undoubtedly be complicated. Han Yi simply flew directly to Azure Dragon Peak and returned to his courtyard.

Fortunately, the courtyard was not destroyed. However, the formation that came with the courtyard could no longer be used due to the destruction of the Zhou Heavenly Xuangang Array.

Han Yi set up his own formation and entered the meditation chamber.

Then, a wave of exhaustion hit him. It was not physical exhaustion but mental fatigue..
