Chapter 474: Chapter 107: Out of Mana, Going to Die!
Qiu Changtian activated the Daoist formula.
Tai Yi Thunder shot out one after another, bombarding the rapidly approaching mass of Tribulation Lightning.
Due to the vast range of the Tai Yi Thunder and the not insignificant power of the Sun Tribulation Thunder, each collision and subsequent annihilation would take out more than a hundred of the surrounding Tribulation Lightning bolts.
However, Qiu Changtian’s remaining True Yuan was also plummeting just as fast as the number of the Sun Tribulation Thunder bolts.
For him, whether there were a few thousand left or just a few dozen, it actually made no real difference.
If struck by one, he would be shattered into pieces, his soul scattered, with no other outcome.
The expression on Qiu Changtian’s face darkened as he was left with only one-quarter of his True Yuan.
At this time, there were still more than five thousand Sun Tribulation Thunder bolts remaining, and they had descended to an altitude of one thousand six hundred zhang, approximately halfway- their flight speed was much slower than the previously encountered Tai Yin Tribulation Thunder.
His True Yuan was nearing its limit, and if he overtaxed himself now, he would undoubtedly die.
If he continued to digest the power of the elixir to recover his True Yuan, he would still undoubtedly face death when the five thousand Sun Tribulation Thunder bolts descended.
Once again, Qiu Changtian reached into the Heavenly Craft Treasure Bag and took out a magical treasure.
Without hesitation, he infused it with True Yuan and launched it toward the Tribulation Lightning above.

The magical treasure struck the Tribulation Lightning and instantly caused a large-scale explosion, annihilating more than a dozen nearby bolts of lightning.
Qiu Changtian did not feel distressed; with an impassive face, he reached in again and took out the second magical treasure from the Heavenly Craft Treasure Bag.
Initially, the Heavenly Craft Treasure Bag provided treasures capable of inflicting wide-area damage.
But as one treasure after another was consumed in the Heavenly Tribulation, the provided treasures began to have a smaller and smaller range of attack, until later they were all single-target offensive treasures.
The Sun Tribulation Thunder had descended to one thousand zhang in height, and there were still over three thousand bolts left.
If he continued to deplete the single-target treasures, he wouldn’t have enough time to destroy the remaining bolts of lightning and would be directly blasted to smithereens.
Relying on the time bought by using the magical treasures, Qiu Changtian had restored his True Yuan to half, clearly still insufficient to deal with the three thousand remaining Sun Tribulation Thunder bolts.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to wield the Thunder Punishment Sword once again and use the technique of leading disaster elsewhere.
This was a necessary sacrifice!
“Sword Master, don’t sacrifice me!” the Thunder Punishment Sword quickly pleaded, “Just one blast from that Sun Tribulation Thunder, and I’ll be powdered, unable to delay them for long!”
“Better to keep me; I still have wide-area Daoist magic that can help!”
Qiu Changtian was silent for half a second before saying,
“Let’s see how it goes first, but prepare yourself mentally.”
Thunder Punishment Sword: ……
“It’s right,” the Green Duckweed Sword suddenly said, “The Thunder Punishment Sword can’t delay for long.
What you need now is not time delay, but an attack method that can clear these Sun Tribulation Thunder in the remaining time.”
Without responding, Qiu Changtian continued to refine the power of the elixir against the clock to recover his True Yuan.
If his True Yuan were endless, he could easily sweep the entire field with Tai Yi Thunder, even if the Tribulation Lightning had already descended hundreds of zhang.
But neither the capacity of his True Yuan nor the speed of its recovery could hold on!
The Tribulation Lightning had descended to an altitude of eight hundred zhang, leaving him with precious little time to think, and Qiu Changtian decided to make an all-or-nothing gambit.
He held Thor’s Hammer and Thor’s Awl in his hands, channeling all his remaining True Yuan into them, creating a new, even larger Tai Xiao Divine Thunder Jiaolong.
The Jiaolong roared as it soared into the sky, charging towards the sky-filled Sun Tribulation Thunder.
Qiu Changtian quickly took out an elixir and swallowed it.
Before he could recover even one-fifth of the True Yuan he had just depleted, the Jiaolong, manifested by Tai Xiao Thunder, was already being torn apart by the Sun Tribulation Thunder.
Every explosion of the Tribulation Lightning would tear off a large chunk from its body – although the Sun Tribulation Thunder moved more slowly, its lethality was far more terrifying than that of the Tai Yin Tribulation Thunder.
At this rate, by the time the Tai Xiao Divine Thunder Jiaolong fell apart, he would not have enough time to recover much True Yuan!
Qiu Changtian understood clearly that he could only put away Thor’s Awl and Thor’s Hammer and stuffed all other Flying Swords back into the Sword Box, leaving only the Green Duckweed Sword to shoot into the air, activating the second layer of Daoist Magic on the sword, “Mountains After a Fresh Rain”.
This Daoist Magic could generate many Water System Sword Qi, and it consumed very little True Yuan (compared to other offensive means), serving as a last, barely sufficient makeshift measure.
Qiu Changtian then took out the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle and silently looked up at the sky above.
There were less than a thousand Sun Tribulation Thunder left, descending to a height of five hundred zhang.
If they entered within three hundred zhang, the explosive power of the Tribulation Thunder would reach Qiu Changtian himself.
???G?.??
Therefore, Qiu Changtian had already utilized all his quick wits to devise a risky, desperate plan:
When the Tribulation Lightning was about thirty zhang away, he would cast a Supreme Jasper Spiritual Talisman, suppressing and slowing the approaching Sun Tribulation Thunder.
In this way, the Tribulation Thunder outside the range of the Spirit Talisman would travel faster than those in front, causing these Tribulation Thunders to close the distance between them and gather together.
At that moment, he would simultaneously cast Tai Yi Thunder and activate the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle.
The Tai Yi Thunder could detonate all one thousand pieces of Tribulation Thunder, while the instant invulnerability of the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle would prevent him from being instantly shattered to pieces.
However, the risks involved were numerous and deadly: if the Tribulation Thunders didn’t gather properly, if the Tai Yi Thunder was cast too early, or if the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle was activated too slowly, all would lead to an extremely tragic end.
Qiu Changtian had no choice.
With a resolute and cold heart, he maintained a clear consciousness and silently watched the pure white, sacred, and eerily emanating Sun Tribulation Thunder drawing closer and closer.
The Sun Tribulation Thunder flew slowly, but that was only in comparison to the Tai Yin Tribulation Thunder; a few hundred zhang passed in a flash.
One hundred zhang!
Seventy zhang!
Forty zhang!
At thirty zhang, Qiu Changtian fiercely pinched the Daoist Formula and cast the Supreme Jasper Spiritual Talisman.
As soon as the Spirit Talisman shot into the Tribulation Thunder, Qiu Changtian’s face immediately changed, as he found that the speed at which True Yuan was being consumed to suppress these Sun Tribulation Thunders was so rapid that it far exceeded his expectations!
Fortunately, the slowing down of the Sun Tribulation Thunder in front and the catching up from behind, the closing distance, and the gathering, all happened just as he had planned.
With these Tribulation Thunders gathered in one place, Qiu Changtian cast another Tai Yi Thunder, the attack range perfectly enveloping all of them.
Then, with timing that couldn’t afford a split-second delay, he channeled the scarce remaining True Yuan into the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, activating its first layer of Daoist Magic: Great Universe Inverting Technique.
Reality and illusion gave birth to each other; the universe was inverted, and for a moment, the world seemed to turn upside down.
The True Yuan gushed out like water from an open dam.
Qiu Changtian watched the explosive fiery waves of the one thousand Sun Tribulation Thunders wash over his illusory body, causing no harm or pain.
Suddenly, the Jade Mansion spasmed and twitched; the True Yuan in the Qi Sea was depleted.
Forcing an overdraft!
Squeezing the last remnants of True Yuan from the meridians!
At the final juncture, what was there to hold back for the sake of the body!
The clouds of tribulation in the sky had dispersed, and five types of True Yuan converged and fused within Qiu Changtian’s body, transforming into a Golden Core the size of a grain of millet.
Inside the Jade Mansion, there was nothing but emptiness, only strands of True Yuan were flowing, squeezed out from the meridians, and quickly channeled into the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle.
The Sun Tribulation Thunder had been entirely exhausted, but the high-temperature environment produced by the explosion was still maintained.
If he were to disengage the Great Universe Inverting Technique now, he would undoubtedly be burnt by these high temperatures.
The Kunlun Mirror had already switched him to the Long Long template because the bodies of the Jiaolong race were much more robust, but even in the high-temperature environment at that moment, they still wouldn’t be able to hold out for long…
probably only a few more breaths, experiencing the scorch of death’s heat before the end.
Long Long clenched his teeth, almost every meridian in pain.
Even though he was extracting True Yuan to the fullest, without regard for anything else, the slender strands of True Yuan still gradually and irresistibly moved toward depletion.
Just as he finally depleted himself to the brink of unconsciousness and disengaged from the Great Universe Inverting Technique, a sudden lid descended from the heavens, covered Long Long whole, and then dragged him into the icy waters.
It was a giant turtle shell.
