Weapon Master

Chapter 1123 - Heavenly Road (2)

Mountains and rivers?

Hearing this name being called by Ai Yinghao, Su Zhao and the others were greatly shocked.

Because it was related to the "Sword Illusion Paradise", they had heard about what had happened in the Hunyuan Sect fifty years ago.

At that time, even Master Hunyuan had died at the hands of the mountains and rivers.

After so many years had passed, he thought that the mountains and rivers had long since passed through the spatial crack and left the "Illusory Sword Paradise." However, unexpectedly, after fifty years, he had returned to Broken Sword Peak.

The girl that appeared with him had an unknown origin, but the man in black robe looked extremely similar to the guy from the Hunyuan Sect. It seems like the sect head made a mistake. This black robed man is the main instigator, and the one killed by Ai Yinghao should just be his substitute.

Why did they appear at the same time?

Before Su Zhao and the others could figure out what was going on, the violent fluctuation in the sky started to spread rapidly towards the sky.

"This is bad!"

As if he had thought of something, Su Zhao's complexion changed, "The Heavenly Road is about to appear. The heavenly tribulation of this person is about to descend. Let's quickly leave so we won't be affected!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Zhao had already shot off into the distance.

"Heavenly tribulation?"

The other few Ling Xiao Sword Sect Elders also retreated as if they had just awoken from a dream.

Astonishment was written all over Ai Yinghao's face. Back when he entered the "Sword Fantasy Paradise", he was only at the fourth transition. Now, he was able to cause the descent of the Heavenly Road?

Catching Tang Huan's gaze, Ai Yinghao regained his senses and suppressed the shock in his heart. He immediately chased after Su Zhao and the others.

"Little guy, little girl, you guys hurry up and leave." Shanhe lifted his head to take a glance and said in a deep voice.

"Grandpa Gao, be careful." Tang Huan could not help but exhort.

"Little brat, don't worry. It's just a divine retribution, so this old man doesn't put it in my eyes!"

With great confidence, Shanhe burst into laughter, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

When he was inside the cave, he was worried that the appearance of the Heavenly Road would cause even more damage to the space, so he had been suppressing his power and doing his best to delay the descent of the Heavenly Road. Now that he had returned to the Forging God Great World, he no longer had any worries.

"Let's go!"

The energy of heaven and earth in the area fluctuated even more intensely, causing Shan Shan to be unable to endure it any longer. Tang Huan no longer hesitated, he wrapped his arm around her waist and shot far away, and in the next moment, he was already at the peak's edge. However, he did not stop at all, and stepped into the void.

"Ga ji!"

The nine spirits stretched out their wings, and their body that was covered by the death aura expanded rapidly, instantly appearing beneath Tang Huan and Shan Shan, bringing the two of them flying away.

When he was around several thousand meters from the peak, the nine spirits had already stopped. Turning around, he saw that the fluctuations around the mountain and river were already visible to the naked eye on the peak. The natural energy in that area had already completely boiled up.

"Boom!"

After an instant, a bunch of white-colored odor s poured down like a waterfall from the endless sky. In an instant, they had already arrived at the peak of the mountain, enveloping the entire mountain and river within.

It was a huge tunnel that was like a pillar. It connected the sky and the earth, and it was completely formed by the power of the heavens and the earth.

As soon as the passage appeared, a majestic, vast, and imposing aura filled the air, causing one to feel the urge to bow down in worship, and making it difficult for one to even have the slightest resistance.

"This is the 'Heavenly Road'!"

Tang Huan's mind slightly stirred.

This was the first time Tang Huan had personally seen the "Heavenly Road". However, from the memories of Xiao Xun, Xia Lu and the others, he had already seen the "Heavenly Road" many times.

On the Heavenly Road, the boundless power of the heavens and earth will evolve different types of heavenly tribulations depending on the different characteristics of each cultivator's power.

Generally speaking, there were three levels to Celestial Tribulation. Each level was more dangerous than the last. After the third, one could follow the Heavenly Road's passageway and arrive at the Heaven Realms above the tens of thousands of great worlds.

Gao Zuishan was the Weapon Refiner, so his heavenly tribulation should be a fire tribulation within the "Five Elements heavenly tribulation"!

"Boom!"

The moment this thought flashed across Tang Huan's mind, a loud explosion suddenly occurred, and the entire world seemed to tremble violently. Immediately after, Tang Huan discovered that at the top of the Heavenly Road, it had become as red as fire, and was spreading rapidly along the passage at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From afar, it looked like a fiery torrent pouring down from the heavens. It didn't even take the time of a breath to appear clearly in front of him.

It was actually an enormous flame that rumbled down towards the peak of the mountain, as if it could crush any obstacle below into powder. Although the Heavenly Road had already isolated the ball of flames and did not emit the slightest bit of heat, its enormous might was enough to cause one's heart to palpitate.

"Tang Huan, Gao Zu, he …"

Shan Shan's face tensed up as she said that with a bit of fear in her heart. Before she could finish speaking, an incomparably resplendent blade light roared and rushed up at the bottom of the passageway.

In an instant, the ball of flame was crushed.

However, after a short moment, the second ball of captivating red blade light came crashing down. On the peak, Shanhe brandished his long blade and a dazzling red blade light rose up once again.

After the second ball of flames was twisted into pieces by the saber light, the third ball of flames followed suit, followed by the fourth, the fifth … The tenth ball of flame … Twentieth ball of flames …

"Boom —"

Explosions rang out one after another.

Saber after saber, thirty-six consecutive balls of flame vanished under his saber in the span of a few breaths.

These thirty-six balls of flame were the first level of tribulation.

Seeing this, the slightly nervous Tang Huan and Shan Shan subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that with Gao Zu's strength, passing the heavenly tribulation would not be difficult.

"This mountain and river, are they actually this strong?"

Thousands of meters away, Su Zhao, who was hovering in the air, couldn't help but exclaim out loud. A few Void Transformation Stage powerhouses beside him also had a face full of amazement.

The Celestial Tribulation was not something which could be overcome so easily.

From ancient times until now, even the very first Heavenly Tribulation had caused countless Void Transformation Stage cultivators to vanish into thin air. Generally speaking, before the divine retribution descends, any cultivator at the peak of the Void Transformation Stage would prepare pills, powerful weapons, protective equipment, and other items to protect themselves.

However, that mountain and river actually treated the heavenly tribulation as if it were nothing. Relying only on the blade in his hand, he easily withstood the first level of the tribulation.

"He actually was able to cross the first stage of tribulation fire so easily."

A green-robed old man could not help but sigh as he revealed an envious expression.

The easier it was to perform under heavenly tribulation, the stronger it was. However, that level of power was not something that every peak 9th Cycle Void Transformation Stage cultivator could possess. The vast majority of people were trembling in fear and trepidation when facing this heavenly tribulation. They were cautious and cautious, afraid that they would make any mistakes.

"Unfortunately, the Sect Leader and those few Great Elders aren't here."

Su Zhao's eyes flickered with a regretful expression.
