354: Chapter 156 Sins Must be Repaid_1 354: Chapter 156 Sins Must be Repaid_1 Amidst the horizon, tribulation clouds gathered, so black as ink, yet so blazed like roaring flas, others constantly changing without a fixed shape.
Bursts of biting wind swept through ceaselessly, causing the surrounding weeds and great trees to topple one after another, as if all were kneeling in homage.
Though the sun above was obscured, the surrounding area grew increasingly scorching.
Wind Fire Tribulation!
Cao Zhen, with Lan Pili, retreated five miles from the area before coming to a stop.
Above the horizon within the tribulation clouds, a fierce wind howled down, and in an instant, Cao Zhen felt as if the entire world, including his own ears, was filled with its roaring sound, so loud it seed as if it would flip the heaven and earth.
Surrounding him, countless weeds, pebbles, even trees wide enough for three people to embrace, and hills were lifted into the air by the furious wind, forming a tornado with Jue Ying at its center.
The next mont, flas roiled up within the tornado, and even from five miles away, one could feel the intense heat.
Where Jue Ying stood, the ground was scorched by the raging flas, turning the surrounding earth black in an instant.
Endless flas, as if able to incinerate the oceans and land, spun with the wind, engulfing Jue Ying in the middle.
Jue Ying appeared as though he was atop the raging waves of the sea, except not with water surrounding him, but scalding flas.
He was cloaked in a Protective Golden Light that shone like a golden eggshell, safeguarding him within, but under the flas that seed capable of turning the land to ash, the Protective Golden Light continuously lted away.
And the surrounding winds grew even colder.
The previous winds, though strong enough to lift great stones and hills, beca even more concentrated as the tribulation clouds in the sky thickened, transforming into blades as sharp as Divine Weapons.
Great stones the size of hills, within the tornado, were smashed to dust in an instant.
Line after line of the fierce wind shattered his Protective Golden Light in an instant, and the biting wind and rampaging flas swept over him unopposed.
Jue Ying’s clothes burst apart, and he instantly beca a man drenched in blood, while the surrounding flas furiously scorched his body, as if intent on burning him to cinders.
The next mont, Jue Ying’s body began to move rapidly, seen from a distance spinning swiftly amidst the encircling flas and tornado.
As his body spun, streaks of afterimages ford around him, linked together to give the illusion of a vacuum.
The fierce flas and winds were repelled by this vacuum of afterimages.
From afar, Lan Pili watched Jue Ying’s movents and couldn’t help but marvel, “This is the origin of Jue Ying’s na; his speed is incredible.”
But Cao Zhen looked on gravely from the distance, his face solemn, remaining silent.
Jue Ying’s thod of combating the Wind Fire Tribulation was indeed unexpected, but if he continued like this, he feared that Jue Ying would be unable to withstand it.
In his experience with alchemy and configuring Array Plates, he had triggered Heaven’s Tribulation, different from the Wind Fire Tribulation, yet also a tribulation in itself.
All tribulations shared a common trait, they grew stronger over ti.
Around Jue Ying, due to his movents, the converging flas and winds intensified, and the pressure on the afterimage vacuum created by Jue Ying’s rapid movents grew.
Crash!
Suddenly, a thunderous boom sounded, so loud that it pained one’s ears, even five miles away.
In the center of the Wind Fire Tribulation, the afterimage vacuum finally could no longer bear the strain and burst open.
The relentless winds and flas rushed towards Jue Ying like a breached dam’s torrent, engulfing him in an instant.
For a mont, Jue Ying appeared to be completely ignited, transford into a man of fire.
He struggled desperately against the flas but the fire on his body grew more intense, the relentless cold winds continuously ravaging his body.
Cao Zhen watched from a distance as Jue Ying resisted the assault of wind and fire, and he called out loudly, “Is this how you accept your fate?
Isn’t your greatest wish to beco an Earth Immortal?
Now, your opportunity is in front of you, why don’t you fight, struggle?
Haven’t you said that everyone believes you cannot beco a Golden Core, that you’ve been tempered ti and ti again between life and death?
Now, I don’t see the slightest trace of fearlessness in you…”
In the distance, inspired by Cao Zhen’s provoking words, Jue Ying let out a heaven-piercing howl, and once again his aura surged, defiantly opposing the Wind Fire Tribulation.
Cao Zhen knew that when Cultivators reached the Wind Fire Tribulation in their Immortal Cultivation, they had to make extensive preparations, finding guardians, forging Array Plates to help resist the tribulation, preparing Divine Weapons, or alchemizing Calamity Avoidance Pills.
In short, nearly all Cultivators relied on external forces to so extent when facing the Wind Fire Tribulation.
To face the Wind Fire Tribulation relying solely on one’s own strength was simply too difficult.
Jue Ying had made preparations too, but they were incomplete, his prepared resources now seemingly of no use.
He had never expected to face the Wind Fire Tribulation so soon.
Previously, he had placed most of his hopes on the Corpse General within the coffin.
