The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 983
Chapter 983 The Only Hope
In the depths of the starry sky, it was cold and dry. Above a desolate and lifeless planet, powerful Dao Realm experts descended one after another.
This was one of the strongholds of the Righteous path.
In the depths of the universe, endless galaxies, wanting to find such a star stronghold was like searching for a needle in a haystack. It was simply impossible. Therefore, even Li Qing couldn’t find them!
Only a few Dao Realm experts who controlled the void movement knew the coordinates of this star. Even if one or two traitors appeared among their people, there was no way they could betray it, let alone lead the way to this place, so it was extremely safe.
“Li Qing survived the ninth stage of the heavenly tribulation and Palace Master of War God died in vain. What do you think?” Immortal Sovereigns asked.
“There’s no hope, no hope at all. No one can overthrow Li Qing’s rule in ten thousand years!” The Ice and Snow Queen sighed. She regretted it in her heart. If she had known earlier, she should not have agreed to the request of the Towering Sect and revived in this era.
“Perhaps Li Qing’s only weakness is his wife. We might as well write some articles on it.” Someone said.
“Hmph, threatening other people’s wives. Why are you guys going back more and more alive? What’s the difference between your behavior and Diabolism’s?” Someone snorted coldly.
“Moreover, Evil Empress is not in our hands now. There is nothing we can do to threaten Li Qing.”
“Although we don’t have Evil Empress, we know the whereabouts of Evil Empress. Using this to negotiate with Li Qing might be useful.”
“Even if we can negotiate, so what? If we can’t kill Li Qing, it’s still in vain. Not even the slightest bit of benefit is worth my effort!”
At this moment, the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, said, “If there is nothing in the world that can kill Li Qing, then that’s not necessarily the case. I know that there is one thing that might succeed.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Tenth Heavenly Tribulation!”
“Tenth Heavenly Tribulation? Isn’t that nonsense? I also know that the tenth Heavenly Tribulation can kill Li Qing, but is it meaningful?”
“Li Qing will definitely not cross the tenth level of the Heavenly Tribulation in the near future. That is simply courting death! Many invincible existences have been defeated by this obstacle since ancient times. If it is really that easy, then how can it be Li Qing’s turn? He is not an idiot, how can he be so impulsive?”
“Haha, everyone, calm down. Please listen to me. Li Qing is indeed unable to cross the tenth level of the heavenly tribulation, but don’t forget that I happen to have the power of the tenth level of the heavenly tribulation!”
Everyone was stunned. Hearing this, they really remembered that when the Sword God crossed the tenth Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master carried a Heavenly Thunder Pagoda to the side to absorb power. It was unknown if he had succeeded.
According to what the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master said now, did he really successfully absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation? This was truly a miracle!
Thinking of this, everyone said excitedly, “Did your Heavenly Thunder Pagoda really succeed in absorbing the power of the tenth Heavenly Tribulation?”
“It’s not a complete success. It’s only about 70% absorbed. Its power is equivalent to more than 60 bolts of heavenly lightning, right?”
“More than sixty bolts of heavenly lightning!” Everyone’s eyes lit up. This was already considered a terrifying power. One had to know that the Sword God had only crossed more than forty Heavenly Tribulations back then.
Although they weren’t sure at that time, based on the energy fluctuations and time, they could guess the progress of the Sword God.
With the strength of the Sword God, he could only survive forty bolts of heavenly lightning. Perhaps he really had a chance to kill Li Qing!
“I’m afraid it’s not safe. Li Qing’s strength should be even stronger than the Sword God of the past. More than sixty bolts of heavenly lightning might not be able to kill Li Qing!” Someone said.
The Sword Sect’s expression darkened. To say that the Sword Sect’s Ancestor was inferior to Li Qing in front of them was clearly to look down on them!
“Li Qing has just passed the ninth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation, and our grandmaster has cultivated for 10,000 years. How can Li Qing compare to the Sword God?” The Heavenly Dipper Sword Master said unconvincingly.
‘”That’s right. The Sword God has cultivated for ten thousand years. Of course, he is no weaker than Li Qing at his peak. But don’t forget, when the Sword God crossed the tribulation, his lifespan was almost exhausted and his age was declining. In addition, he had spent hundreds of years killing the Heavenspan Devil Ape and fought against Li Qing, causing his blood vitality deficit to be so severe that it was no longer at his peak.”
‘”That’s right. Based on the Sword God’s tribulation state back then, he definitely couldn’t compare to his peak state. That’s why he was only able to survive more than 40 Heavenly Tribulations. Li Qing is currently at the peak of his life, full of vitality and blood. In addition to his indestructible body, more than 60 Heavenly Lightning bolts might not be able to kill him!”
“Then what should we do? We finally found a way to kill Li Qing. Could it be that we just give up?”
The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master said, “I had expected this. Under normal circumstances, the chances are slim. However, we can still increase the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tower a little.”
“Oh? I wonder how to improve it?”
“This matter requires everyone to work together to refine the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda and turn it into a high-quality magic treasure. This way, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will be even more powerful!”
“Oh? There’s such a saying?”
‘”Of course, if the quality of the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda is not high, how can it display the power of the Heavenly Tribulation? After the Heavenly Tribulation is put into the pagoda, it is actually some dead creatures that do not have the consciousness of self-control. We need to personally control it!”
“That’s why! ‘
“Everyone, let’s start refining together. Also, we need some precious treasures. At that time, we might have to spend money on them. Please don’t be stingy.” The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master said.
“Do you still need treasures?” There are some people who are unwilling to help you refine treasures for free and take things. That would be a huge loss.
“Everyone, don’t worry about the gains and losses for a moment. Speaking of which, taking out the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda is the biggest loss. This tenth level of Heavenly Tribulation isn’t something that can be obtained at any time.” The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master smiled.
“That’s right. The tenth level of heavenly tribulation is indeed rare. It’s rare once every ten thousand years. Even if I encounter it, I might not have the chance to collect it for you!” When everyone thought about it, they also felt that this was the truth.
“This is probably the only hope to kill Li Qing. It’s worth a try!” They all nodded in agreement.
“However, there’s still one more problem. It’s not that easy for Li Qing to enter the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda obediently.” The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master said.
“Oh? Do you need Li Qing to enter? You can’t carry the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda and directly release the 10th Heavenly Tribulation?” Everyone was stunned.
To dare to say so much, there was still a prerequisite?
“Of course. Even if I can carry the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda and release the Heavenly Tribulation, I still need to have a chance.” The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master smiled bitterly. “I’m afraid I’ll be crushed to death by one of his fingers before I get close to Li Qing.”
“Moreover, if you want to unleash the full power of the Heavenly Tribulation, you must enter the Heavenly Thunder Tower. It might not have much effect if you unleash it.”
Everyone’s faces darkened. “Are you kidding? No matter how stupid Li Qing is, he can’t just enter the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda and die. What’s the point of making so much preparations?”
“Who can be sure about such a thing?” The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master smiled.
“May I know what kind of brilliant plan you have?”
“Don’t forget, we still have Li Qing’s wife’s whereabouts in our hands. If this is the condition, will Li Qing be willing to enter the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda?” The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master said.
‘”I think this matter is quite mysterious. Li Qing indeed loves his wife very much, but he is not an idiot! He knows that his life is in danger, but he dares to barge in. That’s really stupid to the point of being stupid!”
The Heavenly Thunder Sect Master said, “If it was a situation where death is inevitable, Li Qing would definitely not enter. But now, even we are not sure if we can kill Li Qing. Li Qing is so confident and arrogant and fearless now. Maybe we can go inside and try!”
“The secrets in the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda shouldn’t be concealed from Li Qing. Seeing the tenth level of Heavenly Tribulation inside, he might be curious and want to experience its power. Therefore, I think the chances of success are still very high!”
Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that what the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master had said was very reasonable. The Heavenly Thunder Pagoda might not really be able to kill Li Qing. This was not a situation where death was inevitable. Since there was a chance of survival, with Li Qing’s current invincible posture in the world, it was likely that he would personally try it out.
“I don’t think there’s much wrong with this plan. The chances of success are high. If Li Qing really loves his wife, he should take risks for her.” The Ice and Snow Queen said.
“There’s nothing we can do. Perhaps this is our only hope. No matter how low the chances of success are, we still have to give it a try. Otherwise, everyone will have to obediently wait for 10,000 years.”
“Everyone vote to decide. If more than half of the people agree, then we will start sacrificing the Heavenly Thunder Pagoda and implement this plan!”
…
Time passed, and several decades passed. Ever since Li Qing passed through the tenth heavenly tribulation, his strength had become even more unfathomable. He was supreme, and no one dared to disobey his intentions.
However, during this period of time, Li Qing saw that Eternal Devil Abyss’s Dark Golden Crow and Corpse God Burial Ground had joined forces at an unknown time. The two great Jedi had actually merged into one, making Eternal Devil Abyss’s strength even more terrifying.
With Li Qing’s current strength, it was obvious that the origin of the Corpse God Burial Ground was actually the source of darkness that was inherited from the chaos of darkness.
Most of the Dark Origins of the past had been destroyed, but there was still a portion of the Dark Burial Earth left behind by the Corpse God, and the Graveyard of the Corpse God had been built since then.
Otherwise, the reason why this territory was so special was precisely because of this.
The Corpse God didn’t know what the Dark Golden Crow was confused about, but he was actually willing to take out the Dark Burial Earth from the Graveyard of the Corpse God and merge it into Eternal Devil Abyss, making this place even closer to the source of darkness.
Of course, the Dark Golden Crow and the Corpse God didn’t dare to defy Li Qing’s intentions on the surface, but they secretly captured a large number of ordinary humans and transformed them into Dark Combat Weapons. The Dark Powers were rising in height.
