Chapter 686: Break It with the Heavenly Tribulation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Within one day, Xu Que had crossed the Upflowing Sea and returned to the first level of the Mystery Land with Liu Jingning.
At this time, most of the cultivators had left the Mystery Land. Only a few people still searching for opportunity and fortune remained.
Now the Mystery Land was about to close. The lucky ones would be teleported out, and the unlucky ones would disappear with the Mystery Land.
“According to my calculation, the Mystery Land will close in three days. We still have time to leave!” Liu Jingning said.
“Right! Three days is enough!” Xu Que nodded.
He didn’t want to put things off to the last minute. Therefore, he decided to enter the elixir plantation now and take Xiao Rou out. Then, they would leave the Mystery Land immediately.
However, when they arrived at that enormous mountain, Xu Que realized his mistake. He could previously enter as an ordinary person who could ignore the effect of the restrictive spells.
But now he had finished his re-cultivation. After crossing his 69th Heavenly Tribulation, he would reach the Void Training Stage. It was impossible for him to enter the elixir plantation!
“Oh no! Now we have a big problem!” Xu Que said anxiously.
He had decided this was the best place for Xiao Rou’s cultivation, but he had forgotten the most critical part of this plan: how to get her out.
“What happened? You said we’re going to get someone. Are you going to take Senior Duan’s Master out?” Liu Jingning was surprised and didn’t understand why they had returned to this mountain.
Xu Que had told her they were going to meet a cute girl. No matter how wild her imagination was, the Zi Xia Fairy couldn’t be deemed a cute little girl!
“No!” Xu Que said with furrowed eyebrows. “I refined the Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid in the elixir plantation, which could revive an ordinary person. But I forgot I can’t go inside after my re-cultivation!”
“Maybe Senior Duan could solve this problem. He almost broke these restrictive spells before!” Liu Jingning suggested quickly after noticing Xu Que’s anxiety.
He shook his head. “It’s too late! We don’t know where the old beggar and b.u.t.tface are. Now we don’t have enough time to find them!”
They only had three days. They would be better off leaving here to find a solution than try searching for Duan Jiude aimlessly in the Mystery Land.
According to b.u.t.tface’s message, Duan Jiude and he might have left the Mystery Land a long time ago.
After considering the situation for a while, Xu Que stepped to the golden barrier and sent a message with a magic art. “Zi Xia Fairy, I am sorry to trouble you. Would you please send Xiao Rou out?”
This time he was quite polite and humble for he didn’t want to annoy the Taoist Nun anymore. Otherwise, things could get messy.
However, after sending several messages, Xu Que still didn’t get any response.
Xu Que had a bad feeling. The worst possible scenario was that the Zi Xia Fairy hadn’t woken up and couldn’t receive his message.
“Little Queque, you just stay here and try to find a way to get inside. I’ll try to find Senior Duan.” Liu Jingning decided to help Xu Que to find Duan Jiude as she had seldom seen Xu Que this serious and anxious.
Xu Que waved his hand. “Don’t do that. I bet he’s not in the first level anymore. You can’t reach the other levels within such a short period of time. It will be bad if you can’t come back to this place before the closing of the Mystery Land!”
“Then, what is your plan? We can’t just wait here!”
Xu Que also hesitated. A moment later, he looked up and smiled. “I’ve got an idea!”
“What?” Liu Jingning was surprised.
“Little sister, please get away from me!”
“What are you going to do?”
“Just get away from me, please! Be good and be obedient!”
Liu Jingning hesitated before slowly stepping back.
After witnessing Xu Que perform so many amazing actions, Liu Jingning trusted him. She believed in him now, even if he stated he could break the powerful restrictive spell.
However, Xu Que really couldn’t break it. The restrictive spell was too powerful—almost as powerful as the restrictive spells outside the Ancient Bronze Hall where the Empress was imprisoned.
But Xu Que never followed conventional rules and regulations. If he couldn’t break it himself, he would break it with external force!
Let’s get started!
He released his magnificent pressure and aimed it toward the golden barrier.
After that, he took a deep breath and tried to reach the Void Training Stage by focusing all the spiritual energy in his body.
Rumble!
All at once, the sky was covered by surging thunderclouds. The entire area was as dark as midnight.
Liu Jingning was shocked and said, “Are you . . . going to cross your Heavenly Tribulation here?”
“Exactly! Since I can’t break the restrictive spells, I will have it bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulations!” He looked up and shouted, “Come on! Show me some powerful Heavenly Tribulations! Don’t let me down!”
A magnificent waterfall of golden lightning rushed down at him!
Xu Que stood very close to the golden barrier and he did nothing to prevent the golden lightning from falling on his head.
Bang!
With a violent explosion, Xu Que was wrapped in the lightning. Even the golden barrier of the mountain trembled with the explosion.
Liu Jingning was stunned and didn’t know what was happening.
The Heavenly Tribulation had come down too fast. The first tribulation was a bolt of magnificent golden lightning even more powerful than the 69 Heavenly Tribulations of Jiang Hongyan!
Will 1,000,000 celestial soldiers appear now?
Boom!
As Liu Jingning’s brain was occupied by various wild speculations, another crash came from the sky. The second Heavenly Tribulation had arrived without giving Xu Que a break. A tremendous golden sword slashed down from the sky with suffocating momentum.
“This . . . ” Liu Jingning’s eyes widened.
Xu Que’s 69 Heavenly Tribulations were so horrible. The tribulations were fast! The 1,000,000 celestial soldiers didn’t come, but the tremendous golden swords were immediately summoned.
Even more shocking was that Xu Que stood upright under the golden sword without flinching.
In front of such a magnificent Heavenly Tribulation, his body was small but full of momentum so gigantic it was as if nothing could defeat him!
The tremendous golden sword slashed down at Xu Que’s head.
With clenched fists, he shouted, “The first move of How the King of Tough-Acting is Born – The King of Tough-Acting Fist!”
Ding! “One thousand Acting-Tough Points have been consumed. The Host’s magic art, The King of Tough-Acting Fist, has now been activated!”
Boom!
A giant white fist appeared in the sky and collided with the tremendous golden sword with turbulent momentum and pressure!
The sky was covered by golden light. The horrible explosion created a shockwave that rippled out in every direction.
The golden barrier on the mountain trembled violently, like a canoe in a violent storm that was about to be torn apart by the waves.
At the center of the explosion, Xu Que stood firm. His long hair floated with the wind. The explosion had failed to make a single scratch on him—even his clothes were intact!
Liu Jingning was, naturally, dumbfounded.
