214: Chapter 214 This is fucking heaven-defying!

[You have mined four Low-Grade Spirit Stones and twenty-one Medium-Grade Immortal Stones. experience points +2104.]

[First time mining a Medium-Grade Immortal Stone. Reward: good luck card (nine heavens).]

Zhao Yi could hardly believe his ears.

The quantity from this swing of the hoe was about the same as the last, totaling only twenty-five stones,

but he had unearthed twenty-one Medium-Grade Immortal Stones. His experience points had increased a hundredfold, gaining two thousand one hundred points.

"System."

[Miner: Zhao Yi]

[Cultivation: Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm (Can be upgraded)]

[experience points: 3021/1600]

[Reward: good luck card (nine heavens)]

"This is truly Heaven-Defying."

He thought back to how much effort and time he had spent breaking through from the Mid-stage Earth Immortal Realm to the Late Stage; the process could be described as pure agony.

And now?

In just over half a day, Zhao Yi had actually accumulated enough experience points to Breakthrough the Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm.

"Oh my goodness!"

"Medium-Grade Immortal Stones?"

"Master, don't stop!"

"This place is full of the good stuff. Maybe the Divine Stones are here too."

Approximate held a Medium-Grade Immortal Stone in his hands.

The bright light of the Medium-Grade Immortal Stone illuminated his Dragon Face.

Crunch!

He tossed a Medium-Grade Immortal Stone into his mouth and chewed it directly.

"That's the flavor!"

Zhao Yi: "Hmm?"

Was this the reason Approximate had been constantly urging him to mine?

His thoughts didn't stop, and neither did Zhao Yi's hands.

Circulating his full Immortal Qi,

Zhao Mo even added the Law of Money into the mix.

Though he didn't know if it would help, his main goal was to give it his all.

"Dig!"

The golden-glowing hoe sank into the mountain rock. Before Zhao Yi could pull it out,

the mine tunnel collapsed.

Countless rocks buried him and Approximate.

"Damn it!"

"My Immortal Stones!"

"Approximate, help me—"

"Flip this mountain over."

Before Zhao Yi's voice had even faded, a pair of golden Dragon claws suddenly tore through the rubble in the darkness. Dust scattered as golden light surged.

"Roar!"

A low dragon roar exploded from the side, carrying an aura that crushed heaven and earth.

Debris flew in all directions like crashing waves, and the entire Mang Mountain trembled.

"Damn it, keep the noise down."

Zhao Yi complained.

He was still clutching the hoe handle. Each swing was worth one or two thousand experience points; Zhao Yi really couldn't bear to lose it.

Meanwhile, Approximate's golden scales bristled with fury. His Dragon tail swept across, turning the massive boulders weighing down on Zhao Yi into fine powder.

A faint light flowed through his Dragon horns, and a golden rune actually appeared above his head.

"Master, get back!"

Approximate growled low, his claws slamming into the earth. His back arched like a mountain range as golden light gathered at his waist and abdomen. Then he shouted loudly,

"Rise—!"

Rumble!

The collapsed mountain was actually hoisted up by his sheer brute force.

"Ah!"

"Go up for me—!"

The mountain peak that had already pressed down was lifted by the strength of a single Dragon, Approximate.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

Zhao Yi's gaze seemed to pierce through the mountain rock. He saw that outside Mang Mountain, Gui Xu, Measuring Dust, Jian Xu, and the other ten Hall Masters of the Netherworld Hall were gritting their teeth.

With their backs to the Heavenly Tribulation, a beam of light appeared in each of their hands, 'tethered' to the peak of Mang Mountain.

Looking at their strained expressions,

it was obvious they were pulling Mang Mountain back.

"You guys really are good people."

"In that case, I'll give you a hand."

Zhao Yi gripped the hoe handle between his legs and pressed his palms together. The Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm Immortal Qi surged wildly within him, and a phantom performing the same action faintly appeared behind him.

This was an immortal technique he had just thought of on a whim.

"Primordial One-Shoulder Burden Technique!"

"Rise!"

His originally bent legs snapped straight.

The phantom mirrored the movement, standing up abruptly.

Immense power acted upon the mountain rocks overhead.

Bang!

The mountain that had been slowly rising was suddenly launched upward, flying higher and higher.

Outside, Gui Xu and the others, who had been struggling, suddenly felt the weight in their hands vanish.

They were overjoyed. The ten of them acted in perfect synchronization.

"Come on up for me!"

With the combined strength of the ten men, plus the assistance of Approximate and Zhao Yi,

Gui Xu and the other ten Hall Masters actually uprooted the entire Mang Mountain out of thin air and hurled it toward the tribulation cloud in the sky.

Boom, boom, boom!

Faced with the provocation from Gui Xu and the others, the tribulation cloud shifted violently.

All sorts of lightning went wild, striking the Mang Mountain suspended in mid-air.

The tribulation cloud only returned to normal after Mang Mountain had been blasted into ash.

"Haha—"

"As expected of the Death Cultivator Old Ancestor."

"You actually broke the Seal."

"If not for you, we wouldn't have known how much longer we'd have to endure."

Gui Xu and the others surrounded Zhao Yi and Approximate,

completely ignoring the tribulation cloud in the sky.

Boom!

A bolt of Heavenly Tribulation descended.

The eleven people and one Dragon were all struck.

Zhao Yi didn't even twitch an eyebrow; this power was far inferior to the Hundred Deaths Tribulation Realm.

But Gui Xu and the others screamed repeatedly. Green smoke rose from their bodies, and their hair stood on end like wild cats struck by lightning.

"Oh, my mother!"

"Why is the Lightning Tribulation so much more powerful?"

"This... this is too brutal."

Gui Xu looked at Zhao Yi.

"Is it you?"

Zhao Mo...

He was clutching the hoe handle; he had no time to worry about Gui Xu and the others.

"Come out for me!"

Circulating Immortal Qi and applying the Law,

the light of the Immortal Stones illuminated Gui Xu and the other ten Hall Masters.

The System notification rang in Zhao Yi's ear at the same time.

[You have mined ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones and eighteen Medium-Grade Immortal Stones. experience points +1810.]

"Medium-Grade Immortal Stones?"

"One swing of the hoe actually unearthed over a dozen?"

"Good, very good!"

"This is undoubtedly a Divine Stone Mine."

"Haha, I didn't expect that after tens of thousands of years of planning, it would actually come to fruition today."

Gui Xu nearly wept with joy.

"Bastard, put down those Immortal Stones! They all belong to my Netherworld Hall."

Seeing Approximate picking up the Immortal Stones, Gui Xu grew furious.

"What nonsense are you talking?"

"These Immortal Stones were clearly mined by my Master, so they naturally belong to us."

"You say they belong to the Netherworld Hall? Come on—"

"Call out to them and see if they answer!"

Approximate, who specialized in the Nonsense Sutra, was talking nonsense anytime and anywhere.

Gui Xu...

"You... you—"

"What audacity."

"Everyone, set up the Ten Directions Heavenly Net Formation."

The other Hall Masters didn't react, but Jian Xu grew anxious.

His cultivation was the lowest, and he had become an immortal through trickery. Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation was already taking everything he had. If they formed the Ten Directions Heavenly Net Formation, he feared he wouldn't survive.

"Hall Master Ji Lun, should we wait for the Heavenly Tribulation to pass before forming the Ten Directions Heavenly Net Formation to take their lives?"

"They are also locked within the Heavenly Tribulation and cannot escape anyway."

"No!"

Jian Xu hadn't expected Gui Xu to give him no Face at all, still lecturing him as if he were the Left Deacon.

"To undergo the tribulation, we must kill them first."

"Otherwise, if they cause trouble during the tribulation, how can we undergo it in peace?"

"Form the formation, do not hesitate."

"Don't forget how you obtained your current cultivation!"

"Yes!"

Jian Xu had no choice but to bow his head.

"Heavenly Net Incantation!"

The ten people took up different positions, their hands constantly forming Seals,

chanting the words of the Heavenly Net Incantation.

Soon, a thousand-foot-tall Heavenly Net gradually solidified from illusion into reality.

The appearance of a Mid Celestial Immortal Realm Heavenly Net was no small matter; it was like a splash of cold water into a pan of hot oil.

The entire Heavenly Tribulation exploded with a 'bang'.
