Destiny is ashes

Chapter 540 Overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation

The Chonggang Town is now like a spider web, with people coming and going from all directions gathered into lines, whether they are hopeful independent cultivators, professional exploration teams or the company's own team; whether they are victorious people returning with a full load, or disappointed people returning empty-handed, or even losers who have lost their comrades, they come and go like rivers.

Hiding in such a river, even though An Jing had strange signs around him, he did not attract anyone's attention - perhaps it was some of the young gang members' favorite special modifications to their motorcycles? Those young guys liked to drive their bright and dazzling modified motorcycles around, although they died quickly, but it was really cool!
Soon, An Jing and others left Chonggang Town and even the area of ​​​​Fuchenyuan and arrived at the "wilderness".

Of course, this isn't really wilderness.

Strictly speaking, the boundaries of the Floating Dust Plain had been set hundreds of years ago. With the expansion of human activities, the wilderness outside the boundaries of the Floating Dust Plain is no longer home to any dangerous monsters or demons. Even wilderness villages composed of tax evaders or various lawbreakers have appeared.

However, living here, there is neither spiritual network nor various convenient tools. Everything has to be done by oneself. Even farming requires fighting against overly tough demonized plants and trees. At first glance, these villages are just like ancient villages, extremely inconvenient and life is extremely difficult.

The villages and towns around Fuchenyuan are relatively good, as they can still get some support. But deeper into the wilderness, except for the forces that provide foundation support, even food and clothing are difficult to come by.

Teng Shuangbai flashed through the air, and most of the residents in these villages and towns just looked up - they were all cultivators, and they could see that the thunderclouds around Teng Shuangbai were a bit strange, but life had already crushed their spirits. After confirming that An Jing and others were just passing by, they gave up thinking and continued with their work.

Not long after, when An Jing sensed that a calamity was about to strike, the two came to a deep forest between two mountains.

"You go!"

After arriving, An Jing immediately handed Teng Shuangbai over to Huo Qing: "Don't let me get involved!"

“We must hold on!”

Huo Qing also knew that he was just a burden to An Jing at the moment, and he could only ride Teng Shuangbai to retreat far away. An Jing stood on the black mud made of rotten leaves, looking up and looking around.

This forest seems impenetrable, but in fact the bottom has long been rotten, forming a hidden valley. There are some traces of human life and equipment operation here. It was the base of operations for Tie Shou and others when they sneaked into the vicinity of Xuan Ye City many years ago.

——This place is really good and could have been used as a base, what a pity.

With this thought in mind, but without any extra time to think, An Jing heard the whistling of the strong wind and the rumbling of thunder in the sky the moment he landed.

There was no time to set up the formation or make any other preparations, the heavenly calamity was about to come.

At the top of the sky, the heavy clouds seemed to be surging normally. Winds from all directions caused the clouds in the sky to surge violently. Layers of lightning spread among them, and they were about to condense into a light blue pupil.

The clouds are the eyes and the thunder is the pupils. This vortex formed by the dark clouds in the sky is like an eye overlooking the earth, looking directly at An Jing.

Rumble!
Without any chance to breathe, bolts of light green lightning struck down, blasting through the covering grass and trees. In just a moment, this secret stronghold that had been hidden for decades was illuminated by the lightning, and the horrifying thunder and fire ignited the two mountains.

And this was just a prelude. Soon, as the cloud vortex spun, heavy rain suddenly fell, and a green mine dropped from it and struck An Jing!

"Mine? Why? Can An Jing survive it?"

In the distance, on Teng Shuangbai, Huo Qing activated the protective array to avoid being blown away by the increasingly strong wind. He looked at An Jing from afar, his heart full of worry: "This lightning is not ordinary, it is not a normal heavenly tribulation, right?"

"No, can Qi Refining really have such a heavenly tribulation?" He also had Qi Refining strength, and could see that the power accumulated in the heavenly tribulation was more than that of Qi Refining, and was rare even in Foundation Establishment. The lightning nets intertwined and turned into a natural lightning array, which made him subconsciously take out the jade slip and start recording: "Oh my God, what kind of treatment is this?"

He fell into a tangled distress - because the cloud of thunder and lightning turned into an array plate, it meant that the thunder and lightning that An Jing was going to encounter would be more powerful. As a friend, he shouldn't hope that the array plate would be more complete.

But as an array master, he really wanted to see the complete thunder tribulation array plate. This was a Dao rhyme that was hundreds or thousands of times more precious than any natural spirit gathering array!
An Jing has always been very kind to his friends, so he didn't give Huo Qing any room to feel entangled.

Bright green lightning fell from the sky with a turbulent momentum like a falling river from the sky, and the end of the lightning had branches like trees. In the deafening thunder, the surrounding rain was vaporized and turned into a white mist column between heaven and earth, standing upright between heaven and earth.

An Jing stood between two burning mountain valleys. The flames could not harm his body, and the lightning could only flow along his skin. At the moment when the green mine fell, he just showed confusion in his eyes, and then clenched his right fist.

In just a moment, the surging spiritual evil turned into a sharp sword, which was held in the young man's hand and raised smoothly.

The moment An Jing grasped the sword, his aura changed. The murderous aura visible to the naked eye was draped over his body like materialized armor, and his eyes suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light, like two little suns.

The layers upon layers of Taibai magic forbidden divine patterns were all flowing, glowing, and lighting up on An Jing's evil armor and the surface of his skin. His internal organs, flesh and blood, and limbs, which were completely integrated by the six great divine powers, were all tense, giving birth to the most violent power.

This swing of the sword was like a volcanic eruption. The surging golden energy turned into a sharp sword, shaking the atmosphere, as powerful as a dragon or snake, tearing open gaps in the vacuum and emitting a series of sonic booms like thunder.

then……

He slashed at the blue mine falling from the sky!

【Kill thousands of troops】

Boom!

The sword light collided with the lightning, making a thunderous explosion. The sudden burst of strong light and shock waves overflowed layer by layer, making the ground shake like waves. The forest that was previously ignited by the lightning was extinguished in an instant. The blown dust mixed with rainwater turned into mud, and then was dried by the high heat of the overflowing lightning, turning into a circle of continuously falling, continuous sparks and embers.

The surrounding hills shook and rocks rolled down. It was because of the collision that the outer shell of the mountain vibrated and collapsed!

"That's it?"

And in the countless sparks and ashes, An Jing, who was unharmed, slashed down the first heavenly thunder with one sword, and immediately felt a sense of relief: "A heavenly tribulation that is not even at the Shenzang level wants to test me? I just escaped from the prying eyes of a group of great demons and Shenzang Zhenren!"

Heavenly tribulation? I feel... not as good as the human tribulation in the Void Realm!
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Realm did not know how horrible the human calamity An Jing encountered in the neighboring world was. In short, although the trial it gave was beyond the standard, it was not too difficult for An Jing, who was also beyond the standard.

However, soon, the essence of Ren water and Gui water condensed after the mine collapsed, sank into his body, slowly nourishing his water spirit roots, making An Jing's eyes light up.

——Is that so? It is both a test and a resource...to survive the heavenly tribulation...It turns out that for the heavenly tribulation, the key is to survive!

“So this is the essence of the Nine Tribulations Ascension to Heaven!”
