115: Chapter 115 The Powerful Lucky Card

A group of Mahayana Cultivators curiously surrounded the miniature tribulation cloud. Even Li Yingtang could not avoid being swept up in the curiosity; he, too, had never seen such a small tribulation cloud.

However, having learned from Fire Cloud Child's lesson, no one dared to reach out and touch the tribulation cloud this time.

They simply observed from a distance.

"This truly captures the creation of heaven and earth. If we could contemplate this tribulation cloud day and night, it would be of immense help for our Undergoing Tribulation."

Li Yingtang was already at the Late stage of Mahayana Realm, but had halted his progress due to his fear of the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. Now that a Lightning Tribulation was actually operating right before his eyes, how could he possibly restrain himself?

"Everyone, move aside. I'm going to slice it open and take a look~"

In his excitement, Li Yingtang could no longer hold back.

A kitchen knife appeared in his hand at some point, and he prepared to strike at the miniature tribulation cloud, completely unaware that his entire body had already turned gray.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"We are all Mahayana Cultivators; gaining a bit more understanding now will increase our chances of success during our own Undergoing Tribulation."

"Ninth Prince, cut from this side, make the slice thinner."

Those observing Cultivators had also gone mad; instead of dissuading Li Yingtang, they actually egged him on and offered suggestions.

Zhao Yi, who was hidden within his Immovable Void Technique, was on the verge of breaking down.

Heavens above, had this group of people suffered Qi Deviation?

What were they doing?

Slicing up a tribulation cloud?

"Should I run?"

"Can I even get away?"

Zhao Yi's face was filled with despair; he figured that no matter what choice he made now, it was death.

"Sizzle~"

With a sound similar to tearing fabric, Li Yingtang sliced the miniature tribulation cloud in two.

The tribulation cloud, once divided, seemed to have lost some kind of restraint and began to expand wildly.

In the blink of an eye, it returned to that massive tribulation cloud that covered ten thousand miles.

"Have we been locked onto by the Lightning Tribulation?"

Li Yingtang had not yet come to his senses.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out.

"We've been locked onto by the Lightning Tribulation!"

"Damn it, how did this happen?"

Twenty-two Mahayana Cultivators, including Li Yingtang, were present, and eight of them were at the Late stage of Mahayana Realm—these eight were the most terrified right now.

"We're dead for sure this time."

Boom, boom, boom!

The Lightning Tribulation had already struck down.

Including Zhao Yi, it was an indiscriminate attack.

"What the f*ck!"

The very first strike of the Lightning Tribulation shattered Zhao Yi's Immovable Void Technique.

Zhao Yi opened his mouth and spat out a puff of black smoke. Looking at the other twenty-one charcoal-like figures, he remarked sarcastically, "Are you satisfied now?"

"You guys are truly despicable. With nothing better to do, why did you have to go and slice the tribulation cloud?"

"None of your business!"

"Hmph, I'll kill you first. Maybe the tribulation cloud will disperse."

Li Yingtang's mind worked differently from others. While the other Cultivators were anxious about whether they could survive the Undergoing Tribulation, he was already thinking about eliminating the person who was undergoing it.

"Die!"

Li Yingtang was already close to Zhao Yi and held a sharp knife; logically, Zhao Yi should have been unable to escape. But life is unpredictable. When bad luck attaches itself to you, even a Mahayana Cultivator has to kneel!

Boom!

The tribulation cloud in the sky erupted.

The tribulation cloud of over twenty Mahayana Cultivators—how spectacular was that?

The entire sky of Hezhou Prefecture seemed like it was about to collapse.

The lightning electrocuted Zhao Yi and the others into skeletons, their flesh and blood completely vaporized.

In that instant, streams of gray Qi surged toward the skeletons of the Cultivators.

At this moment, a Cultivator finally realized something was wrong.

"This is Misfortune Qi. If Misfortune Qi attaches to our bones, we will likely never have a chance at the Immortal Realm for the rest of our lives."

At this, the many Mahayana Cultivators were stunned. They no longer cared about restoring their Physical Bodies; all their cultivation was used to protect their skeletons, terrified of being tainted by the Misfortune Qi.

Thus, Zhao Yi witnessed the most spectacular sight of his life: over twenty white jade skeletons, colorful and vibrant within—that was their energy-manifested internal organs.

Outside, they emitted faint fluorescence—that was the manifestation of the Cultivators' Law.

This left Zhao Yi incredibly shocked.

"I've heard that Mahayana Cultivators have begun to contemplate the Dao of Law. Seeing it today, it is indeed true. I never expected that Law could also be materialized."

Then, Zhao Yi's situation turned tragic. He was not a Mahayana Cultivator; although he had managed to save his life thanks to the Immovable Void Technique, the Misfortune Qi had gathered, and he had become a small gray skeleton.

"Misfortune Qi attaching to my bones—is this going to make me unlucky for an entire lifetime?"

"No way, I still have to mine Spirit Stones."

Zhao Yi panicked. If bones could sweat, he would be drenched right now.

Mining Spirit Stones relied on luck; if he was unlucky, could he still find Spirit Stones?

He feared that he would end up with nothing during the day, nothing at night, and nothing day and night.

"It's all over."

Zhao Yi watched as his bony hand turned from gray to black—this meant he was going to be unlucky to the core.

Boom!

The Lightning Tribulation didn't care if Zhao Yi was unlucky to the core; it continued to strike down. Zhao Yi now experienced the benefits of being unlucky to the core ahead of time: the lightning striking him was bigger and brighter than anyone else's, practically becoming a small, lightning-based sun.

His bony hands and legs were carbonized directly, leaving only two rows of ribs supporting a skull, suspended in mid-air.

Zhao Yi felt like crying but had no tears.

"Is this the end?"

"No, I don't want to die. I haven't become the greatest Miner yet! System, save me!"

But it was useless; the System didn't react at all.

The Lightning Tribulation in the sky was churning again. Seeing that the lightning was about to descend, Zhao Yi was truly anxious.

"System big brother~"

"System daddy~"

"System grandpa, I beg you, just make a sound, will you?"

A rumbling sound came.

Zhao Yi's heart went cold.

"System, f*ck you."

As the keyword "System" appeared, the System panel materialized in Zhao Yi's vision.

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Body Integration Early Stage (Insufficient experience, cannot upgrade)】

【experience points: 1571 / 3200】

【Reward: good luck card (30 days)】

"Damn it, I'm about to be struck to death by lightning, and you're showing me this now?"

"Damn it, can you raise my cultivation to the Mahayana Stage right now?"

Zhao Yi was spewing profanities, but as his eyes swept over the System panel and landed on the rewards column, he froze.

Then, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he thought: currently, Misfortune Qi was attached to his bones, but what if he used the good luck card?

"System, claim reward!"

"Hurry up and claim the reward for me."

Zhao Yi had never been so desperate to claim a System reward.

Fortunately, the System reward had never been delayed. An abstruse aura descended before the Lightning Tribulation arrived.

Boom!

Blinding lightning lit up around Zhao Yi. Any Cultivator who got close to Zhao Yi suffered terrible bad luck; the power of the lightning was eighty percent stronger than what the others faced.

Li Yingtang, who had the highest cultivation and was closest to Zhao Yi, bore the brunt of it and was struck until the world went dark.

In Zhao Yi's vision, a countdown of 29 days, 23:59:35 appeared.

Looking at this long countdown, Zhao Yi secretly rejoiced.

"Good thing I graduated from elementary school, otherwise I really wouldn't have understood this."

"This should be 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 35 seconds, right?"

"Oh, it should be 30 seconds now."

Now, there seemed to be an invisible barrier outside Zhao Yi's body, isolating those gray strands of Misfortune Qi.

"Such a powerful good luck card. It seems it was too wasteful to use the good luck card for mining before; it was truly squandering a precious item."

With no threat from the Lightning Tribulation or Misfortune Qi, Zhao Yi let out a sigh of relief.

"Restore!"

His Physical Body reappeared.

"Come!"

The great sumeru treasure hoe appeared in Zhao Yi's hand.

Holding the great sumeru treasure hoe, Zhao Yi's heart finally settled completely.
