Chapter 166: A Narrow Escape

As the couple raised their heads up, they indeed saw that all 5 elements were present in the tribulation clouds. The five element lightning tribulation was said to be more special since all 5 elements could be combined into one to release a final Five Element Primordial Lightning,  which was believed to be up to 10 times stronger than a normal lightning.

Up until now, there were almost no cultivators who had managed to survive a five element lightning tribulation. In other words, Little Fatty was currently placed in a very bad situation.

While the sect master and wife couple was worrying needlessly for Little Fatty, he still seemed to be singing leisurely. Finally, the tribulation clouds had been completely gathered, with lights beginning to flash within them.

Following which, a red-coloured lightning around the size of a water bucket struck down like a dragon. Seeing the frightening might of the lightning, a small mountain would probably be flattened by it as well.

But, facing this frightening blow, Little Fatty was completely unafraid. In fact, he could still say coldly, “Since it is red, it should be the Fire Divine Lightning. Let me use the Water Essence Sword to destroy you!”

As he said that, Little Fatty purposefully displayed an elegant demeanour. With his left hand behind his back, his right hand activated his sword spell. Combined with the effect of the lightning rumbling above his head, Little Fatty really seemed like he was that high spirited and was able to completely ignore the lightning.

However, despite the cool appearance of Little Fatty, the only thing he predicted wrongly was that his Water Essence Sword did not appear!

In other words, Little Fatty displayed such a cool appearance for nothing at all. The moment he realised that the Water Essence Sword did not fly out in accordance to his commands, it was already too late.

The Fire Divine Lightning which was released by the heavenly tribulations was extremely fast. It was still possible to defend against it if he had prepared beforehand. But now that something went wrong, he did not have the chance to make any adjustments. The thick lightning bolt mercilessly struck Little Fatty right on his head.

After a loud bang, a series of explosions happened. The dust cloud generated from the explosion had completely covered his surrounding hundred odd feet. One could only vaguely see Little Fatty letting out a miserable shriek before landing flat on the ground.

Seeing the situation, whether the sect master or his wife, HongYing and even ShuiJing were all badly shocked. The sect master even shouted out, “Darn fatty, what are you doing? You have to use your magical artifact, not your head!”

Being a YuanYing cultivator, his roar could be heard by everyone in the surrounding hundreds of kilometres, including Little Fatty.

But at this moment, Little Fatty had no choice but to suffer in silence. He was no idiot, and would naturally know that he needed to defend against the tribulation lightning with his magical artifacts. But the problem was that his Five Elements Essence Sword had all went on a strike. After Little Fatty was struck, he had tried a few more times to summon it, but to no avail.

At this moment, the second bolt, Metal Divine Lightning had arrived. Helpless, Little Fatty had to use his final trump card as he roared, “Precious copper bell, come out and save me!”

Little Fatty’s shout was very direct, but a pity it was to no avail either. The Metal Divine Lightning directly smashed onto his back with a sharp metal Qi pervading his body and rampaging through his meridians. It combined with the fire Qi which had entered previously, one burning him like fire and the other cutting him like a knife. The pain make him break out in cold sweat, almost crying out on the spot.

But, this was not the thing which worried Little Fatty the most. It was actually why he just could not take out any of his treasures. The Five Element Essence Sword could be explained by the fact that it was in the hands of the nine beauties. But, the large copper bell was his own Natal Artifact, and it was impossible for him not to be able to summon it!

With doubt in his mind, Little Fatty hurriedly activated all the other magical artifacts in his Natal Artifact before realising that he was unable to activate anything in his Natal Artifact. Unfortunately, Little Fatty had placed almost all of his wealth into his Natal Artifact.

In such a scenario, Little Fatty was now in deep trouble! Having lost his treasures, he was akin to a lousy chicken who could only flap its wings. Helpless, he could only find something from the dimensional storage bag which he used for display. Finally, he took out a black iron sword, which was the broken sword he received from the sect. This had became the only sword which he had in his possession now.

But obviously such a weapon would be completely unable to help him defend against the heavenly tribulation. The next Earth Divine Lightning which appeared was able to easily destroy this memorable black iron sword before yet again smas.h.i.+ng mercilessly onto his head.

In this way, Little Fatty had received 3 consecutive attacks, having 3 different foreign Qis entering his body. As though they were horses without their leashes, they stampeded through his meridians. The worst part was the fact that Little Fatty did not have the ability to purge them out and could only lay on the floor like a human vegetable.

The moment he was paralysed, all of the various lightnings began to struck down at him as though he was a live sandbag. It was also lucky that he had a stunning physique. If not, any other person would have probably been dead by now.

Despite the fact that Little Fatty could endure the lightning, the five elements spiritual Qi rummaging through his body was creating a large burden. Helpless, Little Fatty could only circulate his Primal Chaos Formula and attempt to convert all the Qi running amok through him into his own primal spiritual Qi.

This was a task of paramount difficulty; not only did Little Fatty have to endure the impact of the lightning, he also had to endure the destruction of the five elemental Qi in his body. Plus, he had to be extremely careful while circulating his Qi in order to prevent cultivation deviation.

Such a stringent requirement immediately made Little Fatty feel extremely miserable. It was only with his strong willpower and the mental state which had been tempered through his years of suffering that he managed to hang on without dying.

When Little Fatty was struck to the point he could not even stand, everyone from afar became extremely worried for him as they could not ascertain his status. At this moment, nothing could be seen at where Little Fatty was receiving the heavenly tribulation. All that could be observed was the dust cloud which spanned across thousands of feet and debris which had been sent flying by the divine lightning. As for Little Fatty, there was completely no sign of him at all.

“Aiyah, father, mother!” HongYing nervously pulled her parents’ hands and asked, “What is fatty bro doing? What happened? Why isn’t he using his magical artifact?”

“How would I know!” The First Lady replied with an anxious expression. At the same time, she turned towards ShuiJing, hoping for a reason from her.

On the contrary, ShuiJing shook her head helplessly and said, “I’m sorry, the heavenly tribulation is part of the cycle of heavenly laws and is far out of my divination capabilities. There is no way for me to know what is going on in a heavenly tribulation!”

“Then how do you think pudgy boy is now?” The sect master asked anxiously, “Is his life in danger?”
