147: The terrifying tribulation

You quietly observed from the side, hoping to discover the fundamental reason for Mo Xiao's failure.

Soon, a vast life force appeared, causing Mo Xiao's originally weak aura to rise again.

And he burst into laughter: "Little friend, do you see? This is the Myriad Dynasty Heaven-Covering Grand Formation, this is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xiao's voice abruptly stopped again.

You immediately used your Divine Sense to investigate.

But Mo Xiao's aura had already plummeted to its limit; his face was filled with terror, as if he had seen something horrifying.

Mo Xiao died!

He perished once again under the Lightning Tribulation!

But unlike last time, this time you saw fear on Mo Xiao's face!

A fear that came from the depths of his heart!

"Mo Xiao is a Peak Immortal Lord Cultivator, what could make him feel such fear...?"

You muttered to yourself.

An ominous premonition surged in your heart.

The 2001st year.

You continuously searched the space where Mo Xiao was, but found nothing.

But just as you were about to leave, Qiu Haitang's message arrived in your mind.

She told you that Liu Xinghe was going to participate in a Trial Grounds.

At that time, Liu Xinghe would be alone, presenting a perfect opportunity to kill him.

As for Liu Changhai, she would keep him occupied for you.

After a moment of hesitation, you finally decided to go to that Trial Grounds.

Because you knew that after the two worlds merged, the Law forces would attract each other.

At that time, you would inevitably clash with Liu Xinghe, so it was better to strike first now and nip him in the bud.

Soon after, you arrived at this Trial Grounds.

This place was called the Immortal Ascension Pagoda.

Anyone under three thousand years old could enter it.

And after Cultivators completed the trials within, the Immortal Ascension Pagoda would provide a suitable reward based on the number of floors they ascended.

The amount of this reward varied.

It depended entirely on how many treasures the Cultivator offered to the Immortal Ascension Pagoda's Artifact Spirit before entering the pagoda.

This method gave you a strange sense of familiarity.

But before you could ponder it further, the Immortal Ascension Pagoda opened.

Liu Xinghe entered with the flow of people, and you, using the Law of Space, subtly followed behind him.

Soon, you all entered the Immortal Ascension Pagoda.

Every Cultivator accompanying you gave a large amount of treasures to the Artifact Spirit.

After a slight hesitation, you also gave the various treasures you had obtained over the years through the Year Wheel Gift to the Artifact Spirit.

In an instant, your vision blurred.

When you could see your surroundings clearly again, you had already arrived in a new space.

You felt waves of fluctuations around you.

More than half of the Cultivators who entered with you fell to the ground, forced to crawl forward.

However, you were completely unaffected.

"Why is this?"

You were startled at first, then suddenly understood.

The age requirement for the Immortal Ascension Pagoda was limited to three thousand years old.

Cultivators of this age were mostly Heavenly Immortals and Profound Immortals; even those in the Immortal King Realm were few, let alone an Immortal Emperor Cultivator like yourself?

You remained calm and began to climb upwards, following the first group of Cultivators.

Soon, only a few people remained ahead of you.

They were almost all Immortal King Cultivators, each of whom could be called a top Prodigy in the Heavenly Wasteland Great World.

But as time passed, these so-called Prodigies also couldn't hold on and gradually began to be teleported out of the Immortal Ascension Pagoda.

Only Liu Xinghe persisted!

And having Cultivated the Law of the Sword, he charged forward; even after many Cultivators of his same Realm failed their trials, he still had the stamina to continue climbing upwards.

But just as he thought he could break through the layers of obstacles in the Immortal Ascension Pagoda, you moved!

In an instant, the world changed color!

A powerful sword light tore through layers of Void Realm, heading straight for Liu Xinghe.

"Hm?!"

Liu Xinghe suddenly turned his head, seemingly surprised that you still had the energy to launch an attack, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Pfft!!!"

The sword light pierced through Liu Xinghe in the blink of an eye, but he did not fall; instead, he looked at you with a smile.

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flesh and blood on Liu Xinghe's body churned, and his internal organs, which you had just shattered, instantly recovered.

This scene made your scalp tingle.

You didn't know what was happening to Liu Xinghe, but you were certain that he was the same kind as Han Feng and Xu Tianhe!

However, Han Feng and Xu Tianhe only became like this after death.

But he was born this way!

You dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately unleashed the Law of the Sword with full power to attack him.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Xinghe's eyes.

But he remained calm, conjuring an Immortal Artifact that blocked all your attacks.

"You also have the Law of the Sword? Where did you obtain it from?"

Ignoring his words, you immediately activated the Law of Space to attack him again, and this time, you burned a portion of your Lifespan.

A powerful force suddenly filled your limbs and bones; when you attacked Liu Xinghe again, you directly shattered the Immortal Artifact in his hand!

"Crack!"

"Bang!"

Liu Xinghe flew backward; although his injuries still instantly recovered, this time a hint of shock flashed in his eyes!

"Law of Space! A complete Law of Space!"

"You are not from this world, who are you, and why are you trying to kill me?!"

Liu Xinghe immediately spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and his Realm rapidly ascended!

Immortal Emperor Third Layer!

This was indeed a Realm comparable to yours!

You clashed again, but this time, he already had a three-point advantage over you!

You began to rely on the Law of Space to engage in a drawn-out battle with him.

And although Liu Xinghe's Physical Body was extremely powerful, his speed had not improved.

Despite his repeated roars of anger, he could never touch you.

Liu Xinghe's aura gradually weakened; a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he immediately communicated with the Immortal Ascension Pagoda's Artifact Spirit, withdrawing from the Immortal Ascension Pagoda!

And in order to shake you off, he even chose not to claim his final reward!

But who would have thought, he was fast, but you were even faster.

In just a thought, you appeared outside the Immortal Ascension Pagoda via Celestial Travel!

The moment Liu Xinghe exited the Immortal Ascension Pagoda, thousands of Immortal Swords had already appeared before him!
