Chapter 894: The Ultimate Tribulation (I)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
This was the final Celestial Immortal Tribulation of the era. There was no way the Treasure-snatching Rock could stop a tribulation this intense. A rumble of purple Heavenly Thunder lured in the depths, violently bombarding the Treasure-snatching Rock. Then, the rock exploded.
A huge storm erupted in the Immortal Realm, wreaking pure havoc. This storm came so suddenly and was so terrible that most of the Earthly Immortals were absolutely astonished. The tribulation was not coming on account of the Immortal Realm, it had a specific objective.
“Celestial Immortal Tribulation, Dharma Ending world, this is the Celestial Immortal Tribulation of the Omnipotent Sage!” In the depths of the Immortal Realm, after countless years, an ancient Celestial Immortal opened his eyes.
“The final Celestial Immortal Tribulation of the era has finally arrived! The Omnipotent Sage is about to arise, and the Dharma Ending era is going to start, haha——!”
The ancient Earthly Immortal laughed mockingly at himself for some time before sighing lightly. After all, this would not be his era.
In that very moment, in the endless, hidden spacetime, many ancient Earthly Immortals were sighing in the same manner. In every era, a Celestial Immortal arose. In addition to the special Celestial Immortals such as the Primeval Sage and the Omnipotent Sage, there were other, more ordinary Celestial Immortals such as the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage and the Gale Sage. They had more or less all risen from among the ancient Earthly Immortals. In a short era such as this, as long as there was a small minority of practitioners from eras of great luck like the Jade Emperor Sage had been, they had an opportunity to become Celestial Immortals.
These ancient Earthly Immortals had been through many eras — countless years. They could not insist on Primeval Sage or Omnipotent Sage status. A Celestial Immortal Karmic Rank was fine. They had the time and patience for it.
However, they knew that once the Omnipotent Sage arose, the pneuma and fate of the era would completely disappear and condense into the Omnipotent Sage’s body. Therefore, in the Dharma Ending Age, there would be no new astonishing talent, nor would one with amazing luck emerge, either. Even the most ancient and mightiest Earthly Immortals had to conceal themselves in the secret, desolate spacetime, even hide away in extraterritorial areas, dragging out their feeble existences as they awaited the end of the era, so that they could painfully seek out an opportunity in the new era.
“We have missed this era. All we can do is continue to wait for the new one!” Such is how the Earthly Immortals mulled over their loss. They were disappointed, they sighed, and most of all, they were jealous.
“Hmph. Every single one of these guys is as slick as a ghost. It is not easy to take their power and use it!” the Gale Sage said blandly. He was at the brink of the Immortal Realm.
“That’s not necessarily the case. If this guy really does give out benefits, then these guys will certainly not refuse!” the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage said. “There will always be those who cannot resist the temptation. Those old bastards might have planned thoroughly, but the temptation of the Celestial Immortal’s Way is really too much!”
“Who do you think will attack?” the Gale Sage asked.
“The strongest one!” the Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage said without a moment’s thought. “Because his strength has reached the critical point. He must be really grateful for this opportunity!”
“So he’ll be completely out of place, like a tiger on a plain bullied by dogs?” There was a glint of a strange expression on the Gale Sage’s face. “When has an Earthly Immortal ever had the guts to get involved in the affairs of a Celestial Immortal?”
“Has he still not become a Celestial Immortal himself?” The Nine-headed Fierce Beast broke out in laughter.
The golden shadow of a whip suddenly appeared and then disappeared. It seemed very peculiar.
“Sure enough, it’s Jiang Shang!” The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage reacted as expected. “He couldn’t resist!”
“He’s resisted for the past 30 years. No one would be able to resist that long! Now he’s taking his chances. Maybe he’ll achieve Primeval Sage status in the next era!”
“Primeval Sage status? No way. He already reached his limit when he achieved Celestial Immortal status. Remember, the Primeval Sage and the Omnipotent Sage of each era are the Dominator’s most powerful competitors. He’s the one who committed the crime, he would never let him succeed!”
“We’re just entrusting the nobodies in the second layer of the vacuum with the primordial spirit. Who said anything about the Dominators?” Gale Sage said indifferently. “But you’re right. They would never give Jiang Shang a chance to become a Primeval Sage.”
“Let’s wait and see who the winner actually is.” The Nine-headed Fierce Beast Sage gave a slight sigh. “As one of the nine greatest Dominators that ever lived, Cundi is probably pretty depressed about how things have ended!”
“Without a doubt!” The Gale Sage raised his eyebrows. “Look, the God-striking Whip has been cracked!”
From above, the God-striking Whip looked like a one-meter long bamboo whip. Its slightly yellowed appearance made it look like it had been cut from moso bamboo. It only needed to be cut lightly with a sharp object, and it could be broken in two.
But the unremarkable looking bamboo whip did not shatter when it landed in the middle of the violent Celestial Immortal Tribulation. Rather, it landed like a fish in water, swimming freely with the current.
