Chapter 1003 - 898: The Might of the Heavenly Tribulation
"Alright!"Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue and the others were overjoyed.
Although they very much wanted to obtain the Youquan Ice Flower, they knew their current situation was perilous and did not want to risk their lives for what could be a non-existent Youquan Ice Flower.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and then used his Flying Technique, slowly descending downwards.
He extended his Divine Sense to survey the surroundings.
Once he confirmed there were no Wolf Ghost Evils nearby, he cautiously continued forward.
He searched his past memories and found that in the Divine World, no divine being had ever mentioned the presence of Wolf Ghost Evils here.
"Perhaps the divine beings in the Divine World are not interested in this place!"
His eyes flickered as he felt the Wolf Ghost Evils he encountered today were unusual.
To validate his hypothesis, he carefully advanced toward the cave ahead.
Duan Gujin progressed roughly five or six miles before he noticed a strong aura of Wolf Ghost Evil along the path.
Yet even now, he still hadn't found the Wolf Ghost Evils themselves.
He found it peculiar, feeling something wasn't right.
After a while, he thought of a possibility.
"Could it be I've already fallen into a maze?"
Yet, he couldn't quite understand; he had followed the Wolf Ghost Evil aura until now, and there seemed to be no other paths in the narrow cave.
He took a deep breath and hurried toward the passage ahead.
No longer cautious like before, he quickened his pace, feeling a dangerous intuition that he had likely become trapped in a labyrinth.
This time, he sped through nearly a hundred miles.
Still, he didn't encounter any Wolf Ghost Evils.
Extending his Divine Sense, he heard no howls of Wolf Ghost Evils echoing from the passage ahead.
"This is odd. Why did we see those Wolf Ghost Evils as soon as we entered the passage? Could the place we appeared in be where someone fed dead bodies to Wolf Ghost Evils?"
Recalling the White Bones he had seen before, he concluded that those were corpses thrown down from the mountains.
Once the bodies landed, they attracted Wolf Ghost Evils for consumption.
And the place he stood now should be an underground maze.
Considering this, he suspected that the maze might be used to train the Wolf Ghost Evils' running abilities.
Duan Gujin immediately released his Life Aura, rapidly running through the passage.
After advancing over thirty miles, he sensed deafening howls of Wolf Ghost Evils ahead, along with hurried footsteps ascending from below.
He quickly concealed his Life Aura and rushed toward the cave's top.
Upon reaching the cave's peak, he planted several Dark Weapons, stabilizing his position.
Soon after, he saw a large group of Wolf Ghost Evils roaring past the passage beneath him.
Each Wolf Ghost Evil exuded a cultivation of at least the Eighth Level of Martial Emperor, many among them having broken through to the Martial Saint Realm.
This made Duan Gujin at the cave top furrow his brows as he realized that the strength of the Wolf Ghost Evils surpassed his prior imagination.
"These Wolf Ghost Evils are even stronger than the Ghostly Evil Cavalry or Ghostly Evil Infantry!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.
Eventually, the Wolf Ghost Evils all passed beneath him.
He contemplated and decided that he needed to follow the direction from which these Wolf Ghost Evils were coming to explore the maze's end.
He believed that perhaps he could find the answer at the maze's endpoint.
Thus, he sped along the cave following the Wolf Ghost Evil aura he sensed.
About an hour later, he exited the underground cave, discovering it ended at a high mountain.
Looking up, he saw a vast palace amidst the mountain ahead.
"What is that palace?"
His curiosity surged as he vanished in place, leaving behind a shadow.
However, moments later, he appeared before a stele.
"There's a Space Crystal Wall ahead!"
He discovered the Space Crystal Wall blocking his body, preventing him from passing through.
Noticing the pathway leading to a stele, he promptly approached it to inspect what kind of stele it was.
Upon getting close, he found the stele had no inscription, but sensed it emitted a powerful Space Crystal Wall force, immediately deducing that the barrier was created by the stele.
"This place is so eerie; it seems I need to use forceful means to deal with this Space Crystal Wall!"
After trying for a while, he realized he couldn't break the Space Crystal Wall with his current ability.
But he happened to have an artifact capable of breaking it: One-sided Heavenly Tribulation.
"Today, I'll test the might of this One-sided Heavenly Tribulation!"
Duan Gujin had consented to Gu Xiaoyue's adventure request in hopes of testing the power of the treasure given by an Immortal.
He had heard of the terror of One-sided Heavenly Tribulation and wanted to determine if it was a true Half-Immortal Artifact or merely a replica.
With a thought, he released the One-sided Heavenly Tribulation.
Upon its release, the sky instantly became enveloped in dark clouds, with numerous lightning flashes amid them.
Soon, thunderous roars filled the sky.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Quickly, the entire sky darkened as if covered by ink, resembling night, with occasional flashes of lightning illuminating half the night sky.
Continuous rumbling filled the air.
"This One-sided Heavenly Tribulation is indeed formidable!"
Duan Gujin took a cold breath, his mind directing One-sided Heavenly Tribulation to destroy the stele he saw earlier.
With a resounding "bang," multiple lightning bolts struck the stele, utterly demolishing it.
Following that, Duan Gujin sensed the Space Crystal Wall disappearing along with the demolished stele.
He rejoiced, knowing the lightning from One-sided Heavenly Tribulation shattered the barrier impeding his path.
Just as he considered retrieving One-sided Heavenly Tribulation, he suddenly saw countless Wolf Ghost Evils emerging from the fortress ahead.
