Chapter 1613 Defeated by the Heavenly Tribulation
“Huh?”
The old man in white let out a soft cry of surprise and said, “You’re not dead? You’re a Body Cultivator. Well, your physique is not bad.”
He was very relaxed and casual. This was incomparable confidence, as well as an unmatched posture.
“Retreat,” Zhang Han said to Yue Wuwei via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Yue Wuwei gave up attacking the nine suppressed Immortal Masters. Instead, he quickly retreated and came to Zhang Han.
The old man in white didn’t seem to be in a hurry to make a move.
“It’s rare to see someone who can withstand my punch and survive in the Star Sea. It seems that you are also someone with great opportunities.”
The old man in white looked Zhang Han up and down.
“Hahaha!”
Immortal Master Broken-mountain and the others relaxed.
They watched coldly from the side.
Even Immortal Master Aogu burst into laughter.
After laughing, the nine people cupped their hands.
“Greetings, Immortal Master Hetu!”
The white-clothed old man was called Immortal Master Hetu.
He waved his hand and didn’t even look at them. It was obvious that he didn’t attach much importance to them.
“Do you think you’ve won?”
Immortal Master Broken-mountain looked coldly at Yue Wuwei and said, “But since we dared to say that, how could we not be prepared? Immortal Master Hetu is a great Dao Seeking Cultivator in the Star Sea. In recent years, he has been traveling in the Center Galaxy. I’m lucky to know him. It’s the greatest honor of the Nine Mountains Alliance to have invited him. If he takes action, you’ll have no chance of escape!”
“No matter how strange and unpredictable your body movements are, you can’t escape. Immortal Master Hetu has advanced to the seventh tier of the Tribulation Stage. How can you two stop him?” Immortal Master Aogu snorted.
Who knew how much they had paid to invite Immortal Master Hetu here?
Many people had heard about the Nine Mountains Alliance. It was indeed a blow to their morale.
However, the reason they’d paid a high price to invite Immortal Master Hetu over wasn’t just to strengthen the momentum of the alliance, it was mostly because they were truly unable to take this insult.
If they didn’t fight back, it would become an unforgettable stain on their life, which they would never be able to get rid of.
Therefore, they made a move and asked Immortal Master Hetu for help.
They had to tell the world that if they were provoked, they would be able to invite a powerful backer.
Immortal Master Hetu didn’t respond to their flattery at all.
It was just that the nine Immortal Masters had given him a few useful spirit treasures, so he showed up to kill a few people. It was just a small deal.
They respectfully called him a seventh-tier master, but in fact, he was at the peak of the six-tier.
Immortal Master Hetu hadn’t dared to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation yet.
He had to be prepared, even though he had been preparing for three thousand years.
The higher the tier of the Tribulation Stage a cultivator was at, the more fierce the Heavenly Tribulation would be, and the more preparations needed to be made.
For example, Zhang Han was an extraordinary man who had reached the Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier in 500 years.
He was one of the few people who could achieve that in the vast Star Sea.
Some reached the Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier in a few decades, and their natural talent was unparalleled. Most cultivators were like Immortal Master Hetu, who needed hundreds or thousands of years to reach that level.
“Little guy, what kind of const.i.tution do you have?”
The old man in white said lightly, “If you perform well, I will spare you.”
“Do you want to know?”
Zhang Han narrowed his eyes slightly.
When Zhang Han was powerful, he could kill people like Hetu with a blow of his breath.
However, things were different now. He had just been destroyed once by his opponent.
Fortunately, he had three bodies. As long as they didn’t die at the same time, he wouldn’t die even if he was killed thousands of times. However, if he died too many times, it would damage his foundation.
“I’m just a little curious.”
Immortal Master Hetu put his hands behind his back, and his immortal aura was awe-inspiring. He said flatly, “A Dao Seeking Cultivator should be curious about something in his life. It’s his nature. You are all Dao Seeking Cultivators at the Tribulation Stage, and it’s not easy to reach this stage. If you cooperate, I can guarantee that you won’t be killed.”
“Is that so? What should I do to cooperate?” Zhang Han raised his eyebrows.
“He is just putting on airs.
“But what he said is true. In the current situation, we are at a disadvantage and are at his mercy.”
“Just come here and let me have a look.”
Immortal Master Hetu spoke indifferently.
“And then you can prepare to possess me upon seeing that I have an excellent physique?” Zhang Han shook his head. “You think I’m a frog at the bottom of a well. In fact, sometimes, you are the frog at the bottom of the well. Only you don’t know that.”
Immortal Master Hetu wasn’t embarra.s.sed at all when his thoughts were exposed, and he clapped his hands. “Alright, then I’ll kill all of you.”
“How dare you rebel!”
“How dare you speak to Immortal Master Hetu in such a way!” Immortal Master Aogu cursed furiously. “Who gave you the courage to do so?”
“I can kill a puny Supreme Expert like him,” Immortal Master Broken-mountain said. “Immortal Master Hetu, don’t dirty your hands. I’ll handle it!”
“You’re so arrogant.”
Yue Wuwei said with a cold face, “If this old thing hadn’t suddenly appeared, the nine of you would have been beaten to death by me. How could you still be in the mood to talk about this?”
Supreme Expert Tufeng smiled. “We don’t know if we’ll live or die, but it’s true that you’ll all die.”
“You minions have become arrogant now,” Yue Wuwei said.
“Even minions can deal with you. It’s just that we didn’t go all out just now!” someone said stubbornly.
“Heh.”
The nine Immortal Masters of the Nine Mountains Alliance argued with Yue Wuwei like shrews cursing in the street.
The tens of thousands of people around were stunned.
“Are they still the aloof Immortal Masters we used to know?”
Yue Wuwei was no longer as aloof as he used to be. No matter what the other party said, he would talk back.
It was because they were at the same level.
It was also because Yue Wuwei was under pressure at this time.
As for Zhang Han, he was standing next to them with a calm look, as if he was not worried at all.
“Then you can do it.”
Immortal Master Hetu suppressed Yue Wuwei with his mind and said, “Let me see how many times this little guy can be resurrected.”
“Thank you, Lord Hetu, for giving us this opportunity!”
The nine Immortal Masters were excited. With ferocious smiles on their faces, they rushed over.
Zhang Han frowned slightly and suddenly said, “We can’t have our families worry. Let’s start directly.”
“Okay.” Yue Wuwei nodded.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?”
Immortal Master Aogu and the others were stunned.
“Pretentious!”
Immortal Master Broken-mountain laughed coldly. “You still want to play tricks. Are you trying to draw our attention before using your strange body movements to escape? Dream on! Lord Hetu is here, so not a single one of you can escape!”
“Hahaha, is that so?”
Yue Wuwei laughed and looked ahead. “Hetu? Doing trash talk is all you can do. Come and kill me if you can!”
What Yue Wuwei said was enough to show his despise for the enemy.
“Hmm?”
Immortal Master Hetu raised his brows. “You’re just a n.o.body. How dare you clamor in front of me?”
He moved at an extremely fast speed.
Right at this moment-
Buzz!
An incomparably powerful aura suddenly shook the entire void.
Clatter!
Yue Wuwei’s eyes lit up, and his momentum soared.
A thick tribulation cloud suddenly appeared in the sky.
When it appeared, it was very normal. It was only about a few dozen miles in size.
It had been like this when the members of the Nine Mountains Alliance underwent their tribulations in recent days.
But when the tribulation cloud found that it was Yue Wuwei-
“f.u.c.k, it’s him! How dare you undergo your tribulation here?”
Therefore, the Heavenly Tribulation got excited.
The tribulation cloud within several dozen miles suddenly expanded by a thousand times.
“Hahahaha.
“This man is breaking through to the sixth tier from the fifth tier. I’ll see how that thunder thief resists me!”
The wind howled.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Within the black clouds, fiery-red lightning began to form.
This was the process of an ordinary Thunder Tribulation evolving into a Qualitative Thunder Tribulation.
Under the control of the will of the excited Heavenly Tribulation, the process was forcibly shortened to a second.
It was just a normal bolt of lightning. It had just flickered, but when it ended, it had turned fiery red.
“Qualitative… Qualitative Heavenly Tribulation?”
Immortal Master Hetu was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly stopped moving and retreated.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Immortal Master Aogu and the other eight people didn’t dare to get close to the field.
“This kind of Qualitative Thunder Tribulation is tens of thousands of miles long. It’s kind of scary. If it accidentally strikes us to death, we’ll be doomed.”
“Are you going to undergo your tribulation here?
“You’re not prepared at all. You deserve to die!”
Immortal Master Broken-mountain cursed in the distance.
He was still a little upset that he couldn’t kill his opponent with his own hands.
“Tribulation clouds!”
Yue Wuwei pointed his sword at the sky and said, “You can only make noises above. If you are capable, you can strike some powerful thunderbolts at me. Let’s see if I will crush you or not. I’ve made a lot of preparations for this tribulation. There is even a seventh-tier Tribulation Stage master watching from the side!”
There was nothing wrong with those words in the ears of Immortal Master Aogu and Immortal Master Hetu.
It seemed that Yue Wuwei had been preparing for undergoing his tribulation for a long time. And when he encountered such a situation, he was sure that he could break through to the sixth tier and fight against the others.
However, that is not the case according to the tribulation cloud’s will.
“This thunder thief is too arrogant!
“Does he think that there is a seventh-tier Tribulation Stage cultivator here? Bah! Seventh-tier? That’s bulls.h.i.+t. He’s just a piece of sixth-tier tras.h.!.+ I’ll hack you to death today.”
Clatter!
The fiery-red tribulation lightning had changed again.
Similarly, the tribulation cloud expanded rapidly by 10 times.
The hundreds of thousands of kilometers of tribulation cloud completely covered this area.
Even the tens of thousands of spectators in the distance were covered.
Looking at the huge round-shaped tribulation cloud, Hetu was slightly dazed. “What scale of Heavenly Tribulation is this?”
He suddenly became cautious.
“In this case, wouldn’t the fifth-tier cultivator who is breaking through to the sixth tier be hacked to death in an instant? And he’ll be dead for sure.”
“I’ll do it.”
Zhang Han took a light breath.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The fiery-red tribulation cloud gradually turned pale white.
“This is…
“The Tae Baek Spiritual Thunder.
“This tribulation thunder is quite powerful. Very good.”
Zhang Han smiled.
Just as the tribulation thunder was about to strike down-
“Let’s go!”
Yue Wuwei quickly took out the One Cloud and tried his best to cast it. He and Zhang Han hid in it.
The tribulation cloud was dumbfounded.
“Are you toying with me?
“How could you do that?”
It couldn’t vent its anger and was extremely displeased.
Sizzle!
Right at this moment, Zhang Han’s Thunder Body showed up, which turned into an electric current and wandered in the void of the universe.
The Heavenly Tribulation took a look.
“d.a.m.n it! How dare you turn into lightning to p.i.s.s me off!
“I can still recognize a thunder thief like you if you turn into ashes.”
Rumble!
A pale white-colored tribulation thunderbolt that was a thousand meters thick suddenly descended.
It went straight to the electric current at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Han’s Thunder Body ran to Immortal Master Hetu.
“What?”
Immortal Master Hetu watched as the two bolts of tribulation lightning, one big and one small, shot straight at him.
He was so scared that he trembled all over.
“I, I, this is not my tribulation!”
Swoos.h.!.+
Immortal Master Hetu turned around and fled.
However, no matter how fast he was, there was no way he could be faster than the Heavenly Tribulation.
“Is he trying to run away?”
The Heavenly Tribulation paid attention to the trajectory of Thunder Body.
It wasn’t far from Immortal Master Hetu.
Thus, the Heavenly Tribulation was enraged.
Thousands of thunderbolts suddenly flashed in front of Immortal Master Hetu and turned into a big net.
Immortal Master Hetu was completely in a daze.
“Is it trying to kill me?
“Defend!”
He took out more than a hundred defensive treasures.
However, he was still struck by the pale white tribulation of lightning.
Zhang Han’s Thunder Body couldn’t resist it at all and was directly turned into ashes.
As for Immortal Master Hetu-
Poof!
He had been struck by a portion of the tribulation lightning.
Blood sprayed from his mouth, and his aura dropped sharply. Fortunately, he had a precious treasure, so he managed to escape.
He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
“What kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this?
“I need to flee now!”
Immortal Master Hetu felt as if he’d escaped with his life, and he fled without looking back.
At the same time, the nine Immortal Masters who were left in the area locked down by the Heavenly Tribulation were dumbfounded.
