Chapter 372: Chapter 266, 6 Heavenly Thunders_3
Tie Dan was scurrying around the palace, and although he didn’t find the Nine Cauldrons, he did find a secret chamber.
Surrounding him were skeletal remains and blood, a chaotic mess, but the passage to the secret chamber was clean and tidy. It seemed as if all the demons coming and going were blind, not noticing this part of the palace. This must qualify as ’secret’.
So Tie Dan went straight into the palace, pushed the door open, and entered. Inside, he saw a dragon bed and jade carriage adorned with brocades and a canopy, decorated with fragrant herbs, gold, and silver. In the grand hall, a jade dragon relief was holding a Bright Pearl in its mouth, emitting great light that illuminated the lifelike corpse on the bed.
Well, it should be him.
Tie Dan took a closer look, judging from his attire and facial features, he guessed the corpse was likely the Kan Country Master.
Ha, a King of a country, dead with his nation fallen, not even entombed, exposed to the palace like this—truly a pitiful sight.
Recalling the chaos caused by the Stone Dragon, this king must’ve been dead for quite a while. But such nobles’ Divine Souls were under the Immortal Records and Divine List’s protection, and seeing as the corpse hadn’t decayed, there must be some safeguarding effect from that big Bright Pearl.
Since he was already there, Tie Dan decided to give it a shot by drawing a Soul Summoning Talisman and slapping it on the dead man’s head with a "biaji".
The Kan Country Master suddenly opened his azure eyes, staring at Tie Dan.
"Hey old man, where’s the Nine Cauldrons."
The Kan Country Master glared at Tie Dan but didn’t answer.
Maybe his tongue rotted?
Tie Dan was about to pry open his mouth when the Kan Country Master abruptly spoke,
"Whose child are you?"
Tie Dan frowned,
"None of your damn business, now it’s my turn to ask, where’s the Nine Cauldrons."
The Kan Country Master stared at Tie Dan for a while,
"Granted by the Emperor’s Throne, buried in Gu Yan by the Stone Dragon."
"No, the nine..."
"The human heart is perilous, the Daoist Heart is faint, precise and unified, execute its path."
"Hey! I’m asking where the cauldrons are!"
"Though the emperor’s virtue is weak, the Heavenly Destiny is unchanged, the weight of the cauldrons should not be in question."
Then the Kan Country Master rolled his eyes, kicked once, and was dead.
Tie Dan, "...Huh??"
"Boom!"
With the sound of thunder, the grand hall collapsed, and the jade dragon on the dome shattered, burying the Kan Country Master within.
Right at that moment, it started thundering, leaving Tie Dan speechless. He had no choice but to leap out of Hanlan Palace to dodge and escape.
Up in the sky, the Wei Ji God Monarch was being besieged by a swarm of demons.
Indeed, besieged, but this old being with two thousand five hundred years of Daoist practice and two hundred and thirty layers of Gang Fist was holding his own. However, the number of demons, including those in the Demon God Realm, exceeded a hundred, and he couldn’t hold out past the second round. Forced to unleash all his Dao Power, he summoned the Six Dao Divine Thunder to clear the field.
Tie Dan glanced up to see rolling black clouds in the sky, with strong winds, thunder, and flashing electric serpents; golden thunder churning, as towering Thunder Power gathered at the Sky Dome!
Just before the first Divine Thunder had struck, diverted by the Yu Gong Whip, it exploded among the demons! Blood and flesh splattered instantly! The residual energy even leveled the corpse chamber of the Kan Country Master! The scent of roasted meat filled the air!
Both Tie Dan and the swarm of demons were shocked, having yet to regain their senses, when "clang!" the second Heavenly Tribulation Divine Thunder arrived! Like a Heavenly Dragon breaching the sea, a downpour fell, as if a golden sword tore through the Sky Dome!
"Boom!"
"Speed!!"
The Wei Ji God Monarch roared, his treasure soaring into the sky! Crossing the tribulation to block the thunder! The Yu Gong Whip had been a painstakingly prepared Lightning Avoidance Treasure! Thus, it withstood another strike! Redirecting the colossal Thunder Power, scattering it towards the demonic horde!
"Boom!"
"Ow ow ow!"
"Ah ah ah!"
Ghosts wail and gods howl! The demon swarm disbanded! The consecutive bursts of Thunder Power blasted the demons, sending their flesh flying! Striking the ground shattered the ice layer, breaking apart like a spider’s web!
"Crackle crackle!"
Golden serpents danced, the third strike was imminent!
The demons weren’t fools. Seeing this old bastard turning up in their den to undergo tribulation, they were also dumbfounded! The demon horde scattered in panic, turning tail to flee!
Tie Dan was numbed by the residual shock on the ground, cursing inwardly damn it! He couldn’t even bother with hiding in the Cloud Seal, hastily retreating! Unable to escape! The world filled with Thunder Power! Without the Thunder Escape, there was no way to flee!!
"Boom!!"
Blown away!! The Yu Gong Whip was blasted aside! Like an iron tower rolling wheel-like over the demon horde, smashing the ice surface, plunging into the Hanhai!
"Can’t hold on!"
The Wei Ji God Monarch fled, covering his head like a rat! Riding the wind, escaping alongside the demon swarm!
Tie Dan and the demons cursed out loud damn it!
"Clang!!"
The fourth thunder chased the Wei Ji God Monarch! Directly crashing into the demon horde! Striking the God Monarch!!
"Ah ah ah!"
"Boom!!"
Without a treasure to ground and dismiss the thunder, that strike detonated among the demon horde, and the scene was simply horrific, a large group of demons were executed by the thunder, turned to ash, shattered to pieces, flesh flying everywhere, charred outside, tender inside, diminishing in succession.
Even Tie Dan, far on the perimeter, got shocked, was sent flying, rolling dozens of times on the Hanhai ice layer before stopping!
Just one hit shattered his protective inner energy, leaving his chest bloodied and scorched, his breath tinged with blood.
Damn! The Venerable’s life-saving Residual Soul! Already consumed!
"Cough cough cough, why is it so fierce, this is ridiculous... "
Tie Dan quickly used the Blood Jade Technique to heal, grabbing some nearby demon corpse meat to chew on, looked up, and felt a chill in his heart.
The Wei Ji God Monarch seemed to falter!
Indeed, the lightning tribulation meant getting struck by lightning, each time crossing a tribulation adds another strike, with thunder power doubling! Six-fold tribulation means being struck six times! Nine Tribulations Divine Thunder involves nine strikes! By the time it reaches the Nine Tribulations Residence, the quantity won’t increase, only the might!
But not to mention six strikes! Why does it seem like Wei Ji God Monarch couldn’t withstand even the fourth one!
The whole figure had turned black! What’s to come next two strikes! Wouldn’t it be complete obliteration!?
"Crack!!!"
Coming down! Fifth thunder!
The Wei Ji God Monarch glanced at the sky! Spat out!
Nascent Soul Emergence!
Decisively Soldier Disintegration!
"Boom!!!!"
The fifth thunder descended!
The Wei Ji God Monarch! Dao Body perished!!
In the face of the onrushing hot wind, Tie Dan stood stunned.
The Wei Ji God Monarch, couldn’t hold on...
At that moment, a wave of inexplicable fear surged in his heart.
Yes, Tie Dan, was afraid.
Because the thunderclouds hadn’t dispersed!
Because Six Dao Heavenly Thunders! Gathered in the sky!
Because a thunderbolt flashed! Heading straight for Tie Dan!!
Can’t hold on
"Boom!!"
