88: Chapter 88 Hundred Days of Fire and Thunder Tribulation

In the small courtyard on Mount Heng.

Zhao Yi looked at his Physical Body sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, feeling it was particularly strange, as if he had been split into two.

One self was Cultivating with eyes closed, and the other was watching himself.

With a move of his Divine Sense, everything within ten thousand miles was clear at a glance.

"Hmm?"

"Why are there so many Cultivators?"

"What are they looking at?"

"Holy crap, a tribulation cloud?"

"Who is Undergoing Tribulation?"

Zhao Yi hadn't reacted yet.

Boom!

A black-purple Lightning Tribulation suddenly descended from the sky.

Zhao Yi realized belatedly.

"This is my Lightning Tribulation."

The divine infant in the state of Soul Emergence shot back into his Physical Body; he had just attained Void Refining, and if he were hit by the Lightning Tribulation while out, he would likely be in grave danger.

Boom!

A hole was blasted directly through the roof of the small courtyard, and the Lightning Tribulation continued unabated, hitting the top of Zhao Yi's head.

A massive force pushed Zhao Yi directly into the ground.

"Ptooey, ptooey!"

"Holy crap, that's powerful."

Zhao Yi still hadn't realized the severity of the problem.

Boom.

Before he could get out of the pit, the second Lightning Tribulation came again.

Sourness, pain...

This was Zhao Yi's only feeling; the Lightning Tribulation struck the top of his head, as if it were about to tear his head open.

In the pit, Zhao Yi's left hand gripped the edge of the pit, and his right hand extended its five fingers.

"Come!"

The expected sensation did not come.

Zhao Yi panicked a little.

Where was the great sumeru treasure hoe?

Then he remembered, it seemed to have been taken by A Da.

"It's over. If I can't summon the great sumeru treasure hoe, wouldn't I be dead for sure?"

As someone who relied on cheats, Zhao Yi had no confidence in surviving the Lightning Tribulation on his own.

At the same time Zhao Yi shouted 'Come', A Da in the Chaotian Spirit Realm of Anning Prefecture was feeling smug.

"Humph, two top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, the heaven suppressing brick and the demon binding rope, are comparable to semi-immortal artifacts. The Sect rewarded them to me for my tribulation. With them suppressing it, can you, a tiny little hoe, still turn the world upside down?"

It turned out that the great sumeru treasure hoe had started to disappear bit by bit earlier, but A Da used the demon binding rope to tie the hoe.

The other end was tied to the heaven suppressing brick. Most of the great sumeru treasure hoe had etherealized, leaving only the hoe head unable to etherealize.

The hoe head that couldn't etherealize revealed its trajectory at a glance; it actually wanted to fly away, pulling the demon binding rope taut in an instant.

Unfortunately, the heaven suppressing brick was tied to the other end of the demon binding rope, and the great sumeru treasure hoe's escape failed.

At this moment, A Da was squatting in front of the great sumeru treasure hoe.

"What level of treasure is this exactly?"

"It clearly looks like an ordinary hoe, yet it's not ordinary at all."

"Truly strange!"

"It seems I'll have to take it back for the Sect Elder to see."

Just then, the great sumeru treasure hoe took flight again.

This time it didn't etherealize, but directly pulled the demon binding rope and heaven suppressing brick into the Void Realm.

Leaving A Da in a state of confusion.

"It's not a big problem. Both Spiritual Artifacts have been refined by me. Recalling them is just a matter of an instant."

"Heart as the lamp, thought as the guide. heaven suppressing brick, demon binding rope, return at once!"

A breeze blew past...

A Da was dumbfounded.

"My rope, my brick..."

...

On Mount Heng.

The great sumeru treasure hoe finally appeared.

Zhao Yi had been truly panicked just now.

If he couldn't summon the great sumeru treasure hoe this time, he had even thought about how he would die.

"Damn it."

"Which immoral bastard tied a brick to my hoe?"

"Pah! I hope you have ten sons in the future."

Zhao Yi cursed and swore, enduring the Lightning Tribulation while trying to untie the brick, cursing more and more foully as he went.

In this short time, he endured three more lightning strikes, and his entire back was already charred black.

Crucially, he couldn't untie this rope.

"Motherfucker."

Zhao Yi was going crazy.

Boom!

Another Lightning Tribulation hit his shoulder directly.

The massive lightning bolt charred Zhao Yi through and through.

His newly formed divine infant was now just like Zhao Yi, charred black.

The Lightning Tribulation in the sky showed no signs of weakening.

"I can't take it anymore, forget the rope."

"I really can't hold on."

Fortunately, Zhao Yi could still control the tied great sumeru treasure hoe and held it upright over his head.

Zhao Yi sat cross-legged on the brick, which didn't seem to affect anything...

Boom!

The Lightning Tribulation hit the hoe handle, and the weakened lightning was conducted through the rope, the brick, and Zhao Yi.

"This..."

"Could they be Spiritual Artifacts? They're actually helping me resist the Lightning Tribulation."

"Who was so kind as to send two Spiritual Artifacts over?"

"What a good person."

Zhao Yi almost cried; once he survived the Lightning Tribulation, he would definitely visit them in person to express his gratitude.

Meanwhile, A Da in Anning Prefecture was continuously tearing through space.

He was following that faint connection to give chase.

"It must be that little thief Zhao Yi, how hateful."

"When I catch him, I will definitely tear him into ten thousand pieces."

A Da was furious; he had tried to gain an advantage only to end up losing out.

"Puff!"

Just then, his mind felt a sharp pain; the Divine Thought he had originally attached to the two Spiritual Artifacts had been crudely wiped out.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Yi only had Soul Transformation cultivation; he certainly couldn't wipe out his Divine Thought so cleanly and decisively.

"Could it be Li Yingzhen?"

Within the Void Realm, A Da's expression shifted.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, he turned and returned to the Chaotian Spirit Realm.

"Once I undergo my Lightning Tribulation..."

A Da had been saying this sentence for fifteen hundred years; if he truly had the determination to undergo the tribulation, he might have achieved Immortal Ascension long ago.

Yet A Da was unaware, and kept this phrase on his lips, making it his catchphrase and his reason for backing down.

...

"It's been a month."

"He's really hard to kill."

Outside the tribulation cloud, Li Yingzi remarked with emotion.

Beside him, Li Yingzhen and Li Yingren were speechless.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

"Why do you keep running here every few days?"

Li Yingzi threw up his hands.

"Well, I finished my business."

"I've already looked into it; this is the Hundred Day Fire and Thunder Tribulation. Originally, only the most heinous demonic Cultivators would trigger this tribulation."

"I didn't expect a mining Death Cultivator to also undergo this tribulation. You tell me..."

Li Yingzi pointed at the sky.

"Is this a bit unfair?"

"How did mining Spirit Stones offend it?"

"Sigh!"

"Counting the days, today should be the day the Lightning Tribulation turns into a fire and thunder tribulation. I've come to broaden my horizons."

Just as Li Yingzi finished speaking.

Sheets of flames descended from the sky, turning the entire Mount Heng into a Flaming Mountain.

Zhao Yi, who was originally hiding under the great sumeru treasure hoe, was caught right in the fire.

"Where did this fire come from?"

"Fire Avoidance Incantation!"

Zhao Yi made hand seals, and the power of Void Refining surged out, driving the surrounding flames away.

"Is this never-ending?"

Zhao Yi originally thought the flames would die out in two or three days, but they were endless and continuous, and even seemed to upgrade.

Zhao Yi's Fire Avoidance Incantation only lasted for three days before becoming ineffective.

"This is insane."

Even though Zhao Yi's Physical Body had been tempered a thousand times, it couldn't withstand the combination of thunder and fire at this moment.

This was evident even from the rope tied to the great sumeru treasure hoe.

It only lasted seven days before being burned to ashes.

Above, the Lightning Tribulation continued to fall.

Around his body, flames rolled.

Zhao Yi's hair had long since been burned away, and his heart was filled with desolation.

"Goddamn heavens, you're not giving me any way out at all."

From a distance, a bald Zhao Yi sat cross-legged on a pitch-black brick, with the great sumeru treasure hoe standing upright above his head.

Above, the lightning was continuous.

Below, the flames had already engulfed Zhao Yi.
