Chapter 373: Chapter 267 Capture Alive
At this moment, even the usually calm Tie Dan was momentarily stunned, feeling a chilling sensation in his heart.
Previously, he had never witnessed tribulation thunder firsthand and never had a direct impression of it. He always thought it was just a stronger, thicker, and larger version of thunder magic. Moreover, the rogue thunder skills were quite trashy, so he never took it seriously, always feeling that the Old Xuan Sect was hiding on purpose, cowardly and malicious.
But now, with the heavenly tribulation looming overhead and faced with the vast thunder light, Tie Dan finally understood how perilous and terrifying the might of heaven and earth truly was.
My gosh, an old Divine Monarch of two thousand five hundred years, gone in an instant, turned to dust without even a line of dialogue.
When tribulation thunder descends, heaven’s punishment comes upon you, truly locking away the three thousand Great Dao, sealing various escape skills, leaving no way to flee or hide, you can only face it head-on and endure this heavenly tribulation.
What’s even more deadly is that this thunder strikes so quickly, faster than the speed of thought. Mere mortals simply cannot react, much less make any moves, as the Heavenly Thunder strikes directly at the Divine Court.
Ha, what’s the difference between immortal and mortal, what’s a Great Cave True Immortal?
Before heavenly thunder, they are all but mortal bodies, all but ants.
... But wait, why is he still thinking about these things? A flash from the past? Logically he should have perished, right? Should have at least switched to someone else?
So Tie Dan fixed his gaze upwards, only to see golden light exploding overhead, electric sparks blooming, and thunder fire flickering! Upon closer inspection, the dazzling light was suspended three feet above Tie Dan’s head, as if something had actually caught the Six Dao Divine Thunder!
It seems like a palm-sized golden cymbal...
What is this thing?
"Boom——!"
Electric light shatters! The golden cymbal cracks to pieces! The outer circle of golden chains explodes completely!
No time for another look! At this moment, Tie Dan awoke as if from a dream!
All goosebumps! All muscles! All cells in his body cried out and leapt under the threat of annihilation in both form and spirit!
There’s a chance!
He can live!
If he fights, he can live!
Activate the Triple Turbines! Activate the Blood Poppy Skill! Activate the Heavenly Ruin Sword Qi! Activate, activate, activate, whatever you have, activate all of it!!!
"Crack, crack!"
The golden cymbal is fracturing
"Crack, crack!"
Tie Dan is fracturing
The thunder cracks the gold open
The skin bursts, the blood explodes
A blood-red figure bursts through the skin! Turns into a rainbow and flees!
Blood Shadow Divine Movement! It can still be used!!!
"Let me escape ahhhh——!"
Tie Dan surges forward fiercely! Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell! Sacrificing the body to shed the skin!
Rushing out of the thunderstorm! Breaking through the icefield! Crashing into the demon tide!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
Then exploded.
Under the divine power of the heavenly tribulation, the Six Dao Divine Thunder was crashing down!
Couldn’t withstand it! The golden cymbal shattered!
"Bang——!!!"
A massive golden thunderball fell to the ground, unleashing the remaining power of the sixth heavenly thunder completely!
Electric serpents and thunder fire spread like golden waves, sweeping the endless sea of demons and beasts into mincemeat, turning them to flying ash!
Endless lives were extinguished without even a scream, annihilated in both form and spirit, leaving no bones behind!
The exploding thunderbolts chased relentlessly! Winding around like a golden python!
No matter how fast like a blood shadow neon, Tie Dan was ultimately not truly the Dao Body of the Blood God’s Son! Being hit repeatedly by the thunder light! The whole body ruptured, ionized, and disintegrated!
"Boom!"
The entire Taoist Body was struck black by the thunderbolt! Blasted to pieces!
The whole person was blasted away! Smoking black, charred and shattered skeletons, sliding along the ice surface!
A demon yak was watching the scene by the lake, suddenly seeing a burnt and shattered skeleton, spinning and blown in front.
The yak was stunned for a moment, sniffing and smelling the charred odor, unable to tell if it was human or demon, but thinking if it was blown to such a ghostly state, it’s cooked and ready to eat. So it opened its mouth to bite...
"Clang!"
Sword energy broke in, instantly slaying the demon.
Shed the skin and emerged again, withstanding the strike of lightning, Tie Dan, almost like a skeleton, got up, tore the yak’s head apart, and stripped off the steaming hide, wrapping it like a fur coat.
Survived.
Using the golden cymbal to block it for a moment, gaining a sliver of life, he raced with Blood Shadow Divine Movement, frantically fleeing for his life, finally narrowly escaping the killing range, wriggling back to life beneath the heavenly thunder.
Absorbing the essence blood of the yak, Tie Dan gasped heavily, turning his head to look behind him.
Shattered
The frozen ice lake of Hanhai was shattered by a thunderbolt, instantly melting the thick ice sheet that allowed the demon army to pass, boiling the entire lake’s water with high-energy thunder, steaming up pervasive Water Qi, like smoke and gauze, blown up by hot winds, and condensing into water droplets, freezing into frost in midair in the chilling cold wind, a visible thick fog spreading over the lake, as if a divine being pulling up a veil in the void, enveloping the entire Beidu, turning the sky and earth and ice into a sea of fog.
Only then did Tie Dan’s heart race wildly, unable to stand for a while, just like a yak, slumping to the ground.
Nearly died
This time it was truly no joke
A moment’s delay would have meant annihilation in both form and spirit
Even someone as determined as Tie Dan was a bit bewildered.
Heavenly tribulation, is it truly this terrifying?
Is the Great Dao truly so difficult to pursue?
After exhausting all calculations and weathering countless dangers, tempered for two thousand five hundred years, only to be beaten to ash by a single thunder, what for...
Then, from within the fog, came the ghostly howling and wailing of demons, piercing shrieks of agony.
Listening to the hoarse cries amid the fog, the waves of demonic sounds, suddenly, Tie Dan, surprisingly, felt calmed amid the panic, as if he realized something.
Yes, even if you don’t pursue the Dao, wouldn’t you still get struck by lightning?
These demons must have struggled and toiled to reach here, yet inexplicably faced disaster, annihilated by the thousands, turning the land into a living purgatory.
