The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 236
Chapter 236 Deng Jiu Chong Tian (6)
Just as Li Qing ascended to the Ninth Heavenly Layer, the outside world also underwent some changes.
The mysterious immortal array in the depths of the Misty Forest had been broken, and the eternal mist that enveloped it gradually disappeared. The sunlight shone in, bringing a glimmer of light to the dim and deep primeval forest.
The ancient lands of the Wilderness that had not been visited for countless years had finally appeared in front of the world.
Soon, a martial artist discovered this situation, and the news quickly spread. There were a few Xiantian experts nearby, so they organized and led a group of martial artists into the forest.
After many treks, this group of people successfully passed through the primeval forest and finally arrived in front of the ruins.
Walking inside, he felt as if he had entered a world of black and white. Between the heavens and the earth, there were black and white gases everywhere.
What appeared in front of them was a peculiar terrain. It looked like a whirlpool, surrounded by long mountains, like a spinning river converging towards the center.
“What kind of place is this? It’s actually so magnificent!” Someone couldn’t help but sigh.
“Let’s go in and take a look!” The leader said.
They felt that this place was extraordinary. Although they couldn’t tell what kind of place it was, the black and white gas and the magnificent terrain around it all showed the magic of this place.
Perhaps there are some treasures growing in this place, it’s really exciting!
They walked inside with excitement. However, before they could enter much further, the wind and clouds suddenly changed color and let out a “rumble” sound. Countless gales blew towards the crowd from the heavens and earth.
“Not good, it’s dangerous. This is a grand formation!” Everyone felt their hair stand on end, as if a catastrophe was imminent.
They immediately wanted to retreat, but found that there was no way to retreat. A gust of wind swept past in an instant. Countless screams rang out. All of the people who entered were instantly blown into pieces and turned into a puddle of meat.
When the people who hadn’t walked in saw this scene, their faces immediately turned pale with fear. Luckily, they didn’t go in. Otherwise, it would be them who died.
“What a terrifying place! What exactly is this place? Why is there a grand formation set up by someone?” Someone said in horror.
Another person said in a deep voice, “This should look like a supreme killing array! It’s just a guardian array on the periphery. It’s already so terrifying. I can imagine that it must be a remnant left behind by a peerless expert!”
‘”If a terrifying killing array isn’t something we can break through, why don’t we bring this news out and let the big powers nearby know about it so that the great clans and sects of the world can come here and open this ruin? Perhaps we can also obtain some benefits,” he said.
“That makes sense …”
Just like that, the ruins in the depths of the Misty Forest were discovered by the world. The news spread like wildfire. Everyone in the surrounding area received this news, and some large clans and sects sent people here to find out what was going on.
At this moment, in Jiangyuan City, City Lord Su and Su Jingxiang heard this news, and their expressions were somewhat worried. This was because Li Qing had entered the Misty Forest to explore some time ago and had yet to return.
According to this information, that ruin was so terrifying that just the killing array outside could sweep through a large area of experts, and no one who entered would survive.
If Li Qing rashly entered without knowing, would something happen?
Thinking of this, both of them couldn’t help but shiver.
“Don’t worry, Jingxiang. Li Qing’s strength is unfathomable and he has many trump cards. I believe nothing will happen. Don’t worry.” City Lord Su comforted.
Su Jingxiang forced a smile and said, “Well, big brother Li has created miracles many times. His background is mysterious and his handling of affairs is steady. I believe that he will be fine! However, he hasn’t returned for a long time, so I wonder if others will suspect him.”
City Lord Su smiled and said, “According to the report of the scouts, Baifu City and the Lu Clan’s Clan Masters have disappeared for a long time. I don’t know what they are doing. I’m afraid they won’t invade Jiangyuan City in the near future. The problem isn’t that big. I hope Li Qing will return soon.”
Su Mansion had always claimed that Li Qing was in seclusion and didn’t see any outsiders. No one had noticed his disappearance, so there shouldn’t be any problems in the short term. However, if it was a long time, it was inevitable that someone would discover an abnormal situation, and then the enemy would invade Jiangyuan City.
…
The news that the Misty Forest was adjacent to the three continents attracted the attention of the aristocratic families and sects in the three continents. They sent people to the center of the Misty Forest.
Amongst these people, even Xiantian seventh layer experts appeared, gathering in front of the Yin Yang Seven Killing Array.
After some research, they discovered that this killing array was extremely powerful. Anyone who entered would die. No one could be an exception. Even Xiantian 7-dan experts were unable to resist the might of the Nine Heavens Spirit Wind.
Moreover, there was also a terrain of ten thousand rivers returning to the sea that provided boundless spiritual energy for the grand formation. It was perfectly combined with the slaughter formation and was unbreakable.
Such a terrifying killing array, even if all of them worked together, they would not be able to break it. They could only stand outside and stare.
‘”This should be a grand formation set up by a peerless expert. At the very least, it’s at the Void Realm and above. With our strength, entering it is only a suicide mission. Is there any way to break this grand formation?” One of the experts asked.
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent. Obviously, they were helpless against this matter. This was because their strength was limited.
“Looks like I can only send a message back to the sect for help!” One of them sighed.
“That’s the only way! This place has extraordinary origins. Perhaps there really are treasures left behind by peerless experts inside, and there are even ten thousand rivers returning to the sea within. No matter what, we cannot let it go!”
So they each sent people back to the sect to send a message to inform them of the news here. Please save and support them.
Originally, they had only come to inquire about the situation, but now that they had discovered such important news, they naturally had to send a large army over. One could foresee that more and more people would rush over and gather countless martial artists.
The center of the Misty Forest had already become the focus of attention in this area.
…
Li Qing was currently leisurely staying in the world of thunder. Of course, he did not know that the wind and clouds were already surging outside. More and more people came to the front of the Yin Yang Seven Killing Array.
He stayed in the area of the forty-nine lightning tribulations for a whole day. About every fifteen minutes, a lightning tribulation descended, continuously tempering his body, increasing his strength at an extremely fast rate.
One day later, the forty-nine lightning tribulations finally had no effect on him, and he could no longer temper his body. At this moment, his ability to resist lightning had greatly increased. He wandered through the sea of thunderstorms, almost unscathed.
“It’s time to leave this area. I wonder what will happen in the final stage.” Li Qing’s heart was filled with confidence as he continued to walk forward.
With his current body’s ability to resist lightning, there was almost no need to be afraid of ordinary lightning. No matter how many lightning bolts he had, there was nothing to be afraid of.
The fiftieth trial was behind him. Could it be that fifty bolts of lightning had descended?
After walking for about a hundred meters, he stopped and quietly waited for the next round of lightning.
“The Gate of Light hasn’t appeared yet. There should still be one more trial. I hope that the power won’t disappoint me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to temper my body.” He thought proudly.
The terrifying lightning had already become his tonic. Instead, he hoped that the greater the power of the lightning, the better. In this way, he could continue to strengthen his strength.
At this moment, he suddenly felt his hair stand upright, and his Heavenly Saber trembled violently. This was a dangerous situation!
“Not good!”
Without even thinking, his figure immediately flashed and moved to another place. Then, he heard a “cracking” sound, and an extremely purple lightning struck down from the spot.
There was only one!
Although this bolt of lightning looked small, its power was much more terrifying than the lightning tribulation combined!
“This is Purple Firmament Divine Lightning!” Li Qing cried out loudly. He secretly complained in his heart. He didn’t expect that the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning would descend in the final trial. How could he withstand such a high level of lightning?
Just now, he was too proud. Now, he finally received his retribution.
“Isn’t this the last trial too difficult? Who in the world, with my cultivation, can withstand it?” He found it hard to believe and didn’t understand why the difficulty was so high.
‘”However, that lightning just now seems to be smaller than an ordinary Purple Firmament lightning. It seems that it has reduced the difficulty by a bit according to my cultivation. However, it can be considered extremely frightening. I doubt if I will be killed by a lightning bolt.”
Being able to dodge the first bolt of lightning didn’t mean that he could always succeed. Perhaps he wouldn’t be able to dodge the next bolt of lightning. He had to think of a way.
“The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning is a weakened version, and my body has been tempered for such a long time, and my ability to resist lightning has greatly increased. Perhaps I can really resist it.” He was uncertain.
In the end, he had never really tried it before. He was always a little nervous in his heart. He didn’t know if he could endure it. If he couldn’t endure it, wouldn’t he really have to die?
The prestige of the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning was simply too frightening. No wonder he didn’t have the confidence to do so.
‘”No matter what, I have to bear it head-on anyway. I don’t believe that my body can’t survive! If even I can’t survive, then no one in the world can survive! The test was set up to let people pass. How could a certain death end occur?” He gritted his teeth fiercely.
Just as he was making up his mind, the sky suddenly lit up and another Purple Firmament Divine Lightning descended. Li Qing subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was already too late and he was directly hit.
