Chapter 1170 - The Tribulation of Five Elements
"One more to go!"
"There are finally enough people."
"Everyone, get ready!"
"..."
Everyone was already calculating the numbers. Now, there was only one more person to gather up to a thousand people. Everyone was in high spirits and was ready to move at any moment.
"Rumble …"
However, just at that time, intense trembling sounds suddenly surged out from the depths of the stage. It was as if it was like a thunderbolt that could shake the heaven and earth, and could even tear one's eardrums. Soon after, the arch in the middle of the stage began to quickly dissipate. In the time it took for one or two breaths, it no longer existed.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
"What's going on? Isn't it said that 'a thousand people have gathered and the universe has started moving'? Now that there are only nine hundred and ninety-nine people, the 'Cosmic Dao Realm' is about to appear? "
"We already have a thousand people. Did we make a mistake?"
"How is this possible? One or two people making a mistake is fine, but everyone can make a mistake? "
"The arch has disappeared. Could it be that people outside won't be able to enter for the time being and the people inside won't be able to leave?"
"..."
Everyone's face was filled with surprise as they exclaimed in low voices.
Only Shao Yang and a few other cultivators could vaguely guess that the reason why the "Universe Dao Realm" didn't even need a thousand people to appear was probably because they had included Tang Huan's little nine-coloured bird.
The crowd quickly forgot about this matter as their attention seemed to be completely attracted by the commotion that followed.
"Rumble …"
The trembling sound continued, and after the arch disappeared, Pang Shuo's high platform also started to sink. Almost at the same time, the white misty aura started to surge in from all directions like stormy waves. In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered by chaos.
Unknowingly, the platform beneath their feet had also disappeared. Everyone was standing atop the clouds. After an unknown period of time, the deafening vibrations finally died down.
It was as if Heaven and Earth had just opened, and the murky air had sunk down to form the ground. A clear air rose up, which transformed into the Heavens.
Although the surroundings were still misty white, it had become much wider. It had to be at least a few dozen miles in radius, and the ground was flat and vast. There were no mountains, rivers, insects, fish, birds, flowers, trees, and so on.
However, the silence was quickly broken by exclamations and exclamations.
"What a rich power of the heaven and earth and the power of the Law of the Tao!"
"If I train here, I will probably be able to step into the Void Transformation Stage very soon."
"..."
Hearing the voices of the crowd, Tang Huan was also praising the power of the heaven and earth and Law of the Tao in his heart. An instant later, Tang Huan sensed something and suddenly raised his head to look.
Immediately following that, an incomparably boundless aura roared down, filling up the void.
Instantly, all the voices of the crowd stopped, and they all raised their heads to look. The shock in their eyes became denser and denser.
"Heavenly Road?"
Several cries of surprise sounded out at the same time.
Tang Huan frowned, Hu Si had a surprised look on his face, but Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya's expressions became extremely ugly. They were not afraid of the heavenly tribulation that accompanied the Heavenly Road, it was just that the Heavenly Road had suddenly descended before they had obtained the "Universe Divine Bead".
"Ga ji?"
A small head popped out from Tang Huan's chest, looking at the sky in shock, and in the surrounding crowd, many Void Transformation Stage cultivators had flustered looks on their faces.
"Everyone, don't panic. This isn't a true Heavenly Road!"
After a flick of his finger, Duan Wuya's vigorous voice suddenly sounded. His complexion had already turned for the better. Apparently, Nie Zhitong had realized this as well, and her tense face relaxed.
Everyone was startled by these words and immediately calmed down.
They had already noticed that the Heavenly Road in the sky above was shockingly large, practically enveloping the entire space within a radius of tens of kilometers. Throughout the countless years of history, such a massive Heavenly Road had never appeared before. No matter how strong the cultivators that were about to undergo tribulation were, the Heavenly Road wouldn't be this strong.
In just a breath or two, the Heavenly Road had completely descended, enveloping the nine spirits, Tang Huan and the other cultivators within.
"Rumble …"
The Heavenly Road trembled, and an incomparably terrifying power was born out of thin air.
Immediately after, the entire space started to distort and ripple. An instant later, all the cultivators felt as if they were enveloped by an incomparable force, and then, they quickly moved away. Even the nine spirits on Tang Huan's chest were pulled away by that energy, and then, they became further and further away from Tang Huan.
Not long after, the space returned to normal.
Tang Huan looked over in the blink of an eye, and discovered that a thousand creatures had already been evenly distributed within a radius of several tens of kilometers. Hu Si, Jiu Ling, Shao Yang, Geng Xun, Ji Haitian and the others who were originally by his side had already left. The ones closest to him, however, was Nie Zhitong, who was extremely close, just a hundred meters away.
Only then did the crowd discover that the reason why there were less than a thousand people in a series of movements was because the Nine-Colored Bird occupied a spot.
Even though they were somewhat curious as to how it had appeared, everyone's attention was quickly diverted once more. Somehow, a voice had sounded from the depths of everyone's souls: "The arrival of the Five Elements calamity … Life and death meant nothing to him... Those who are able to make it into the top ten of the Qiankun Dao World will be able to acquire a single Qiankun Dao Pearl … "
"Tribulation of Five Elements? Do I have to experience metal tribulation, wood tribulation, water tribulation, fire tribulation, earth tribulation simultaneously? "
"Life and death will be decided by fate …" could have died under the divine tribulation here? "
"Dammit, this is actually not the true 'Universe Dao Realm'. Only by passing through the tribulation of Five Elements can one enter the 'Universe Dao Realm', and only the top ten can obtain the 'Universe Dao Bead' … "Doesn't this mean that the cultivators who are ranked tenth and below, are all wasting their time?"
"..."
All kinds of distracting thoughts and expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Some were expectant, some were perturbed, some were excited, some were regretful, and some were full of confidence and some were anxious.
Amongst the thousand creatures, only the top ten could obtain the Heaven and Earth bead. Counting the hundred creatures, only one of them could obtain this opportunity. Everyone already knew that the Heaven and Earth dao beads would not appear in large numbers, but it was still rather surprising for it to be reduced to such a state.
The few who had weaker cultivations felt regret in their hearts.
If he had known about the situation on the third floor, he would not have entered. If he had not been able to enter the "Universe Dao World" and even lost his life, it would not have been worth it. It was a pity that things had gotten to this point. No matter how much he regretted, it was useless.
Currently, he was within the Heavenly Road. Without an exit, it was impossible for him to leave.
Now, all he could do was hope that the Celestial Tribulation wouldn't be that terrifying. However, the loud whistling sound that followed immediately broke the last thoughts in the minds of many cultivators.
"Hu!"
Above the sky, it was already a field of crimson red, and a violent and blazing aura crazily poured down.
