192: Chapter 192 It was just a simple recharge, how did you manage to drain the heavenly tribulation dry?

Black thunderclouds swirled frantically above Dragon Tiger Mountain.

At the center of the vortex, the massive Eye of the Heavenly Tribulation stared fixedly at the high platform below.

There was no emotion, no mercy.

Only pure destruction, representing the will of the Heavenly Dao.

On the back of the Frost Giant Dragon.

Bai Li, who had just awakened her Nine-Tailed Bloodline, was now deathly pale.

The Yao Race inherently defies the heavens, and they possess a fear of the Heavenly Tribulation engraved into their very bones.

The moment this Eye of Thunder appeared, the Yao power within her body almost completely ceased its circulation, and her nine fox tails drooped uncontrollably.

"No! This power of lightning punishment is too terrifying! He can't block it!"

Bai Li gritted her teeth, enduring the trembling deep within her Soul, as she prepared to jump off the dragon's back to help.

"Don't go and cause trouble."

Mary grabbed her wrist. Although her deep blue eyes also betrayed a sense of gravity, her tone was exceptionally firm.

"Going down now will only distract him. Since the Boss didn't ask for our help, it means he's confident."

"But that's the Heavenly Tribulation!" Bai Li said anxiously.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is nothing," Chu Ling, who hadn't spoken until now, said coldly. "If you piss off Master, he'll punch a hole right through the heavens."

On the high platform below.

Zhang Zhengyang's body was rapidly collapsing.

Having sacrificed his Nascent Soul and Lifespan, his Physical Body had already begun to turn into specks of ash, dissipating in the wind.

But he was still laughing wildly, a hysterical laugh.

"Su Yang! Go to Hell with this old priest!"

"Heavenly Punishment! Descend!"

BOOM!!!

The Eye of the Heavenly Tribulation high in the firmament suddenly contracted.

A bolt of pure black Oblivion Tribulation Lightning, like a black waterfall spanning heaven and earth, crashed straight down toward Su Yang with a pressure that could destroy the world!

Space directly collapsed before this black lightning, revealing large swaths of black turbulent currents from the Void Realm.

Under this pressure, the entire main peak of Dragon Tiger Mountain was forcibly compressed down by three feet!

"Die! Die!"

Zhang Zhengyang roared frantically.

Facing this certain-kill Heavenly Punishment.

Su Yang did not dodge.

He gripped that rust-covered thunder-guiding divine needle with both hands, exerted force from his core, and actually met the falling black waterfall head-on, holding the iron rod high.

"Come! Let me see if your charge is enough!"

BANG!

The pure black tribulation lightning struck the tip of the rusty iron rod squarely.

There was no world-shaking explosion.

Time seemed to fall into a standstill at this moment.

Immediately following.

Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt!

A grating sound of electrical current rang out.

That black tribulation lightning, which was enough to turn a Soul Transformation Stage old monster into ash, was actually frantically sucked into the iron rod like water through a funnel the moment it made contact!

Crack! Crack!

Accompanying the injection of the massive amount of tribulation lightning.

The thick layer of rust on the surface of the iron rod finally could not withstand this enormous energy and began to shatter and peel off inch by inch.

An extremely dazzling dark-gold light burst out from the cracks, shooting straight into the clouds.

This ancient Divine Artifact, which had been covered in dust within the Thunder God Hall for tens of thousands of years, finally welcomed its true consecration today!

Buzz—!

The rust faded completely.

A cylindrical divine needle, dark-gold throughout and carved with countless ancient lightning totems on its surface, appeared in Su Yang's hands.

The divine needle emitted an excited hum.

A terrifying spiritual power vortex was generated at its tip, and the suction force instantly surged tenfold!

The black lightning waterfall that was originally pouring down was directly sucked into an inverted tornado.

"This... this is impossible!"

With only his head remaining before dissipating, Zhang Zhengyang watched this scene, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

What he had summoned was the Heavenly Tribulation!

It was the tribulation lightning that represented the punishment of the Heavenly Dao!

It was actually being drunk like a beverage by a rod?!

It wasn't just Zhang Zhengyang who was dumbfounded.

The massive Eye of the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky also seemed to sense that something was wrong.

It discovered that the energy it struck down not only failed to cause any destruction but instead, its own Origin thunder power was being rapidly drained!

A hint of human-like panic actually flashed through the Eye of Thunder.

It wanted to cut off the lightning output.

It wanted to close its eye and flee.

"Since you're already here, why be in such a hurry to leave?"

Su Yang gripped the thunder-guiding divine needle tightly with both hands, and the Pure Yang Golden Core within his body rotated frantically, pouring his own spiritual power into it as well.

"Suck it up for me!"

Rumble!

The ancient totems on the thunder-guiding divine needle instantly came to life.

The massive suction force actually followed the black pillar of lightning light, flowing directly upstream and locking onto the Eye of the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky!

"Screeech—!"

A shrill scream, like that of a wild beast, actually echoed from the sky.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone.

That black Eye of Thunder that blotted out the sun was forcibly distorted by an invisible force.

It was like jelly being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner.

The Eye of Thunder struggled frantically within the clouds, and the surrounding dark clouds were churned into fragments.

But it was all in vain.

Whoosh!

In less than five seconds.

The massive Eye of the Heavenly Tribulation, along with the black tribulation clouds covering a hundred-mile radius, were all sucked completely dry by the thunder-guiding divine needle in one breath!

Not a single drop was left!

The gale stopped.

The dark clouds dissipated.

The star-filled sky reappeared over Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The bright moon hung high, as if the world-destroying scene from just now was merely an illusion.

*Burp.*

The thunder-guiding divine needle in Su Yang's hand emitted an extremely satisfied vibration, and the dark-gold light flowing on its surface gradually receded, becoming simple and heavy.

"Monster... you are an out-and-out monster..."

At the edge of the high platform.

Zhang Zhengyang's remaining head uttered one last desperate murmur.

Then, a breeze blew past.

The dignified Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain was completely turned into a pile of ash, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Dead silence.

The thousands upon thousands of Dragon Tiger Mountain Disciples on the square were all slumped on the ground now.

Their Dao Hearts had collapsed.

Even the Heavenly Tribulation was sucked dry. How the Hell could they still fight!

The remaining few Purple-Robed Elders, who were heavily injured, supported each other as they crawled up. Without any hesitation, they all knelt down toward Su Yang in unison.

"Senior Su, please spare our lives!"

The Grand Elder kowtowed until it made a thumping sound, his forehead covered in blood.

"All of this was Zhang Zhengyang acting on his own! It has nothing to do with us!"

"Dragon Tiger Mountain is willing to surrender! We only beg Senior to stay your hand and leave a sliver of the Legacy for the Celestial Masters Mansion!"

Facing this group of Old Daoist Priests who were scared out of their wits.

Su Yang toyed with the brand-new thunder-guiding divine needle, feeling the thunder power within it that was surging to the extreme with satisfaction.

With this thing, if he encountered any yin or evil objects in the future, one strike from the rod would guarantee not even a speck remained.

"Leave a sliver of the Legacy?"

Su Yang shouldered the divine needle and walked up to the Grand Elder.

"I am a person who always listens to reason. Zhang Zhengyang took the lead in going to Qingqiu Mountain to cause trouble, and now he has been obliterated. The main culprit has been executed."

"By all rights, I shouldn't make things difficult for you anymore."

Hearing this, a sliver of hope just began to rise in the Grand Elder's heart.

But Su Yang's next sentence plunged him directly into an ice cellar.

"However."

"Just now, your Dragon Tiger Mountain used a grand array to strike me several times and even brought out a Heavenly Tribulation to scare me."

"The mental damage compensation cannot be less."

Su Yang reached out his hand.

"Hand over the keys to your Scripture Pavilion and treasury."

"If one is missing, I'll turn Dragon Tiger Mountain into Dead Tiger Mountain today."

The Grand Elder shuddered all over.

Handing over the treasury keys—what difference was there between that and being looted clean?

But looking at that dark-gold iron rod beside him that was emitting a terrifying pressure, how could he dare to say a single 'no'?

"We'll hand them over... we'll hand them over..."

The Grand Elder tremblingly pulled out three uniquely shaped bronze-colored keys from his robes and handed them to Su Yang with both hands.

"These are the keys to the Celestial Masters Mansion's outer treasury, inner treasury, and Scripture Pavilion."

"Very sensible."

Su Yang took the keys and turned toward the sky to snap his fingers.

Roar!

The Frost Giant Dragon dove down and landed steadily on the square.

Reba, Mary, Chu Ling, and Bai Li jumped off the dragon's back.

Bai Li walked to Su Yang's side, looking at him with a complex gaze.

The scene of him sucking the Heavenly Tribulation dry just now had completely conquered the pride of this Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

The Yao Race admires the strong.

This man was so powerful it made one feel suffocated, but it also made one feel an unprecedented sense of security.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Bai Li asked softly, her voice losing a bit of its coldness and gaining a bit more tenderness.

"It was just a few bolts of static electricity. How could I be hurt?"

Su Yang casually pinched Bai Li's soft cheek; the feel was excellent.

"Come on, Hubby's taking you to stock up."

...

Dragon Tiger Mountain Treasury.

As a Daoist ancestral court that had been passed down for over two thousand years, the foundation here was even several points richer than Mount Shu's.

Especially the various lightning-attribute Materials and Talismans, which were simply piled up like mountains.

"Wow! So much lightning-struck wood!"

Chu Ling's eyes lit up as she looked at the dozens of pitch-black logs piled in the corner of the treasury.

These were all top-grade lightning-struck wood over a thousand years old. For her, a Purple Thunder Flying Zombie, they were excellent Materials for crafting a coffin... oh no, for crafting a Lifebound Treasure.

"Take it all if you like it."

Su Yang waved his hand generously.

Mary was even more like she had entered a supermarket, pushing a small cart she had found from somewhere and frantically stuffing all sorts of gold and silver jewelry and rare medicinal Materials into it.

"System, activate the One-Click Recycling function."

Standing in the center of the treasury, Su Yang issued an order.

"Ding! Detected a large number of low-level Talismans, Magical Artifacts, and Heaven And Earth Treasures. Scanning for value..."

"Recycling successful!"

"Obtained points: 650,000!"

A white light swept across, and ninety percent of the items in the treasury instantly disappeared.

Six hundred and fifty thousand points!

Adding what he had scavenged before at Mount Shu and the Jade Pool, Su Yang's current point balance had already broken through the 1.5 million mark!

A total tycoon!

"Boss, come look at this."

Just as Su Yang was checking his balance, Mary called out from the deepest part of the treasury.

Su Yang walked over.

He saw that in a secret room at the end of the treasury, there were no Magic Treasures placed. Instead, there was only a solitary bronze altar.

In the center of the altar sat a square red sandalwood box.

The surface of the wooden box was covered with dense yellow Talismans, and the cinnabar on the Talismans had already turned somewhat black.

"I wanted to open it just now, but the Talismans on this are very strange. They have a very strong counter-shock force," Mary said, shaking her somewhat numb fingers.

Su Yang activated the Eye of Investigation.

"Ding! Detected a special sealed item: [Celestial Master Secret Box]."

"Description: A forbidden object personally sealed by the first Celestial Master, Zhang Daoling. It contains an energy fluctuation that transcends this plane."

"Danger Level: Extremely High!"

"Energy that transcends this plane?"

Su Yang's eyebrows twitched.

Something that could make the first Celestial Master apply so many sealing Talismans was definitely no ordinary item.

"Stand back."

Su Yang had the women retreat to a safe distance.

He stepped forward. Instead of using his hands to tear those Talismans, he directly clenched his fist, which was covered in a layer of Pure Yang Golden Flame.

"I don't care what you've sealed. Now that you're in my hands, you'd better open up obediently."

BANG!

Su Yang punched the red sandalwood box hard.

Those yellow Talismans, which were claimed to be able to suppress great Yao, instantly turned into ash under the burning of the Pure Yang Golden Flame.

Click.

The lid of the red sandalwood box slowly popped open a crack.

An extremely ancient purple Qi, filled with a prehistoric aura, seeped out from the crack.
