Chapter 1189: Chapter 47: Yesterday Is Gone Forever (Part 2)
But he did not die immediately.
He stood upright, ignoring the Vast Righteousness Sword Qi that was destroying his vitality, and looked at the calm face of the Peak Master of Vastness Peak, whose face, devoid of any color, first showed anger, horror, and unwillingness.
But moments later, the Sect Leader of Zhuzhao, perhaps recalling something, suddenly sneered hideously and said to the Peak Master of Vastness Peak, "Don’t be too proud."
Hearing this, the Peak Master of Vastness Peak slightly frowned, but his hand did not stop.
Once again, he swung the Taibai Sword in his hand, slashing towards the Sect Leader of Zhuzhao.
A crisp sound echoed.
The Sect Leader of Zhuzhao’s head was severed.
...
The terrifying energy was still exploding continuously, and the Peak Master of Vastness Peak was bleeding all over, with the Vast Righteousness Sword Intent rampaging within his organs.
It was not as easy as imagined to kill a Cultivator of the Merge Path with the cultivation of the Third Tribulation Realm.
Even for the Peak Master of Vastness Peak, it was only possible by forcibly activating the Vast Righteousness Qi, which did not align with his current cultivation, using his three lifetimes of cultivation.
However, anyone wishing to gain power beyond their limit must pay the corresponding price.
And that price began to exist the moment the Vast Righteousness Qi was unleashed.
Injuring others sometimes injures oneself.
The rampaging Vast Righteousness Qi surged through his body like a runaway horse.
At this moment, all the acupoints of the Peak Master of Vastness Peak oozed tiny blood beads, which joined into streams of blood, flowing down and looking extremely horrifying.
This near self-destructive method of mutual destruction allowed the Peak Master of Vastness Peak to unleash an attack equivalent to fifty percent of his peak power from his previous life.
Yet, things were not over.
After delivering the final threat, the body of the Sect Leader of Zhuzhao fell backward, life extinguished.
The separated head had its hair wildly flying.
However, the mountain-like Tianpeng behind him let out a long howl into the sky, breaking free from the body of the Sect Leader of Zhuzhao, and soared into the air.
A terrifying pressure assaulted forth.
Equally of the Ninth Grade Realm, the Tianpeng descended into the world.
This was not a one-on-one, but a two-on-one.
The person died, but the beast remained.
This was one of the major characteristics of the Beast Cultivator.
The Tianpeng roared, its massive body covering the sky and earth, with golden feathers standing on end, seething with rage, prepared to avenge its master.
The reason for its anger was that it could tell the Peak Master of Vastness Peak had paid a great price for that slash, and was now at the end of his strength.
If the Peak Master of Vastness Peak were in good shape, the emotion of the Tianpeng would be fear and terror instead of anger.
Demons, inherently one of the most bullying and cowardly of creatures.
The Tianpeng, having left the body of the Sect Leader of Zhuzhao, was glowing fiercely with golden divine light as if it were ablaze.
Boom!
Boundless mana, with overwhelming golden divine light, surged forth, turning the entire sky into an extremely terrifying realm.
The terrifying energy surged like great waves as if the next moment it could overpower the heavily injured Taibai Sword Master.
The physical body of the Taibai Sword Master was bleeding severely injured, with Vast Righteousness Sword Intent still surging in his chest and abdomen, worsening his injury, and in front, the attack from the Ninth Grade Tianpeng Demon Beast was already upon him.
It seemed a certain death scenario.
But the Taibai Sword Master smiled, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
In the next moment.
The aura of heaven and earth descended, and dense power of heaven and earth coldly flowed into his body.
The power of heaven and earth brought by the Four Nine Heavenly Tribulations, now finally brewed, descended from the heavens.
Like a dry desert for a century welcoming a spring rain precious as oil.
The heavily injured body of the Taibai Sword Master welcomed the spring rain.
This power of heaven and earth was incomparably powerful and mysterious, and upon entering his body, it caused transformations and elevations in all aspects like the physical body, cultivation, primordial spirit, etc.
During the process of the physical body’s transformation and elevation, the power of heaven and earth more than transformed into a warm current, fully healing all of his injuries in a very short amount of time.
The Vast Righteousness Sword Intent, previously forcefully activated and now out of control, started to flow smoothly like a stream under the guidance of this power of heaven and earth, turning from violent to joyful, becoming still in delight.
The feeling of the injuries being healed and nurtured was very pleasant, and the Peak Master of Vastness Peak instinctively relaxed his brows, with countless power infusing into his muscles, bones, dantian, and mind sea, intoxicating him.
This is the heavenly tribulation, an existence that makes cultivators both love and hate it.
Moments later, the Peak Master of Vastness Peak ascended from the Third Tribulation Realm to the Fourth Tribulation Realm.
All around him, acupoints no longer shed blood, but rather faint essence was seeping out.
His injuries were healed, and his cultivation had further advanced.
This was certainly no fluke.
Everything was within the calculations of the Taibai Sword Master.
Among tens of millions of the Human Race in the Human Realm, who could surpass him in terms of experience and the number of tribulation crossings?
Thus, regarding heavenly tribulations, he not only had no fear but could even reasonably utilize the mechanisms of heavenly tribulations.
Buzz!
The Taibai Sword Master, having grown even stronger, once again brandished his sword to confront the assault launched by the Ninth Grade Tianpeng.
Wherever the sword edge reached, wind stirred the clouds.
The terrifying energy surging like waves could only move aside.
To make way for the Taibai Sword on a path to the heavens.
Thus, the Taibai Sword Master proceeded forward with his sword, unimpeded.
I have Vast Righteousness Qi, so naturally, I proceed freely.
At this moment, he transformed into a divine light, charging towards the Tianpeng.
"Roar!" The Tianpeng Demon Beast opposite let out a roar of utmost panic and anger, but it was futile.
The now formidable Peak Master of Vastness Peak was far beyond comparison to his earlier self.
An overwhelming strike, crushing everything in its path.
Taibai turns black, Vast Righteousness to kill.
