161: Survive the catastrophe

The other people's gazes looked in that direction, and they were instantly stunned, because in that direction stood several loose immortals of ten tribulations or more.

As if noticing their gazes, they couldn't help but look back at them.

Frightened, several ordinary loose immortals shrank their necks, not daring to look directly at them.

It seems that the people targeting Li Haotian are not one group, and there are still many other powerful individuals also eyeing him covetously.

In the sky, the boundless black cloud energy was completely infused into the World-Ending Divine Lightning, making the entire world feel as if the sky was falling.

Li Haotian's expression was solemn, and he stared intently at the sky, waiting for the arrival of the final celestial tribulation.

Suddenly, the tribulation clouds in the sky completely compressed into a single bolt of World-Ending Divine Lightning, directly targeting Li Haotian.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Who could have imagined that the celestial tribulation still had such a move?

Originally, after passing the celestial tribulation, the tribulation clouds in the sky would disperse, but now they were completely compressed into the divine lightning.

Li Haotian calmly watched this scene. Seeing the overwhelming World-Ending Divine Lightning pressing down on him, the Spirit Essence Sword in his hand flew out and hovered above his head.

He then formed hand seals and shouted, "Gui Yuan Nine Swords, Nine Swords Return as One to Slay the Divine Lightning, Slay!"

As his voice fell, the sword intent around the entire Spirit Essence Sword condensed, transforming into a stream of light that shot towards the descending World-Ending Divine Lightning.

At this moment, the divine lightning was not just as thick as a millstone, but three millstone-thick bolts of divine lightning smashed down like meteors falling from the sky.

The Spirit Essence Sword sliced through the void, like a beam of light, cutting towards the divine lightning.

"Boom!"

In the end, human strength was no match for heavenly power. This World-Ending Divine Lightning was simply not something the Spirit Essence Sword could withstand; it only weakened the power of the World-Ending Divine Lightning significantly.

The World-Ending Divine Lightning, originally three millstones thick, was now only two millstones thick, its power reduced by thirty percent.

"Ha, Soul-Suppressing Bell, smash for me!"

Li Haotian coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, but he paid it no mind. He also disregarded the already tattered Spirit Essence Sword and controlled the Soul-Suppressing Bell above his head to smash upwards.

"Buzz!"

As the bell rang, the onlookers felt a wave of dizziness. Those with weaker cultivation even bled from their seven orifices, and even the ten-tribulation loose immortals were not feeling well.

"This, such powerful might, it's definitely a mid-grade or higher immortal artifact, possibly even a superior immortal artifact."

"Hahaha, he definitely can't block this celestial tribulation. The superior immortal artifact is ours."

"This is the World-Ending Divine Lightning. It would be strange if he could withstand it. Prepare yourselves, the celestial tribulation is about to disappear. We'll get ready to snatch the immortal artifact."

"And his cultivation technique and divine abilities can't be wasted either. Didn't you see how powerful that divine ability was?"

"Alas, it's just a pity about that sword. Now it can probably only exert the power of a low-grade immortal artifacts."

"What? You're still not satisfied?"

"That's not it. The main thing is the immortal artifact; I'm very satisfied with that."

"..."

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Li Haotian's Soul-Suppressing Bell was also struck and sent flying.

The World-Ending Divine Lightning lost another thirty percent, and the remaining forty percent was about to reach Li Haotian when two immortal swords, one azure and one purple, appeared, and then immediately merged together.

"Azure-Purple Twin Swords, Return as One, Slay!"

The two immortal swords combined and blasted towards the remaining forty percent of the divine lightning, instantly striking it.

Unfortunately, it still only cut away thirty percent of the World-Ending Divine Lightning. The remaining divine lightning directly struck Li Haotian's body.

Xiaotian's face was pale. It had signed a contract with Li Haotian. If Li Haotian died, it would also be injured, and severely so.

Mu Mu's face was expressionless, but her tightly clenched paws showed that she was very nervous.

The other powerful loose immortals were ecstatic. In the end, Li Haotian still couldn't block the World-Ending Divine Lightning. Wouldn't this benefit them?

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the mouth of a loose immortal, and he unhesitatingly charged towards Li Haotian.

"Quick, get those immortal artifacts, and that person's treasures."

"Kill quickly, don't be slow."

Many loose immortals unhesitatingly charged towards Li Haotian's direction. In their minds, with the immense power of the World-Ending Divine Lightning, Li Haotian definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.

There were also some who were about to charge over but were suddenly stopped.

"Wait, something is wrong here. You wait and see."

"Oh? Is there some unexpected change?"

"Do you think he still has any backup plans? He's basically been attacking. Have you seen him defend?"

"Yes, could it be that he's doing it on purpose?"

"I don't know, let's wait and see. If things go badly, we'll immediately flee."

"Okay, let's wait and see."

There were still some clear-headed people. They could tell that Li Haotian was not at the end of his rope, so they chose to wait.

However, those who had been blinded by greed unhesitatingly charged forward. Their eyes had been lost to Li Haotian's immortal artifacts.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Li Haotian. When they rushed to Li Haotian's side, they were surprised to find that the divine lightning had dispersed, replaced by Li Haotian, who was emitting a faint immortal light.

At this moment, the sky cleared, and there was no more celestial tribulation or anything else, only pure energy.

This was the reward he received for passing the celestial tribulation. Li Haotian believed that as long as he absorbed this ball of energy, he could instantly improve by several minor realms.

The ball of energy in the sky descended, and Li Haotian instantly absorbed it into his body. This was a reward from the Heavenly Dao. Even if he didn't use it, it would still be stored in his body, waiting for him to refine it.

A look of joy appeared on Li Haotian's face, and his gaze turned towards the loose immortals who were charging towards him.

"System, boost and repair the Azure-Purple Twin Swords!"

"Ding, boost successful. All immortal spirit crystals consumed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the superior immortal artifact, Azure-Purple Twin Swords."

The Azure-Purple Twin Swords instantly flew back and hovered above Li Haotian's head.

Li Haotian's expression was serious, and he said coldly, "Are you here to die? I will fulfill your wish."

At this moment, Li Haotian was very cold, so cold that it made people tremble, as if he had no emotions.

This time, in order to pass the tribulation, all the immortal spirit crystals were consumed, and two supreme grade immortal artifacts were destroyed. Li Haotian was in a state of fury.

But these loose immortals actually dared to come and cause him trouble. They truly had a death wish.

Xiaotian murmured, "He's angry. These loose immortals are finished."

Mu Mu nodded and said, "He has never been a soft-hearted person. This time, he is truly enraged."

Xiaotian sighed, "These people are really something. Boss has attacking immortal artifacts, so why do they think Boss doesn't have defensive immortal artifacts? Isn't this just rushing to their deaths?"

Mu Mu shook her head slightly and said, "They have been blinded by the immortal artifacts in Boss's hands."

Those powerful individuals who had been blinded by the immortal artifacts did not stop because Li Haotian was unharmed. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, and that was to kill Li Haotian and seize the immortal artifacts in his hands.

This thought was very dangerous. Li Haotian controlled the Azure-Purple Twin Swords.

"Two Principles Return as One, Twin Swords Combine, Kill!"

Li Haotian roared and controlled the Azure-Purple Twin Swords to attack the loose immortals who were charging towards him.

Although those loose immortals were extremely powerful, in Li Haotian's eyes, they were nothing. The Azure-Purple Twin Swords were supreme grade immortal artifacts, and wherever the flying swords passed, there were heads rolling.

Li Haotian didn't even move from his position. By simply controlling the flying swords, he caused the heads of those loose immortals to fall.

He continued to kill in this manner, and Li Haotian didn't consume much immortal essence because at this time, a portion of his magic power had already been converted into immortal essence.

Although the Azure-Purple Twin Swords were supreme grade immortal artifacts, they were also his life-bound magic treasures, so they didn't consume much immortal essence.

He had known for a long time that after passing the tribulation, there would definitely be some reckless fellows who would have improper thoughts, but he didn't expect there to be so many loose immortals.
