Chapter 636: All Sides to the Stage (2/2)

“Well done!” Hope rekindled in the hearts of the Exalted immortals outside the tribulation. Zhao Wushuang had managed to hack open the tribulation, keeping at bay the lighting that would invoke fear in anyone’s heart.

“Something’s amiss here. Zhao Wushuang is living up to his bloodline as a pureblooded Exalted Divine. We can’t allow him to pass this tribulation!” Immortals from Primus Major looked on with stern expressions. “Deploy the lord-grade fortress ship and kill him!”

Rumble!

The fortress ship that the ninth prince of Primus Major had obtained from the Dusk auction slowly sailed out of the void. As soon as it emerged, a white beam of light lit up from the mouth of the main cannon at the ship's bow, charged to the maximum with ten billion crystals!

Threatening heaven and earth, the powerful offensive almost punched a hole into the sky.

“Here it comes!” The Exalted celestial emperor sprang into action the moment the fortress ship appeared.

Boom!!

With a light wave of his hand, the Divine Sea exploded. Piercing shrieks rang through the skies, eliciting strange reverberations throughout the energy of the land. These were the sea divines, finally revealed in their full glory!

Somehow, their shrieks proved effective against the pillars of light spewing forth from the crystal cannons. Auxiliary cannons firing in conjunction with the main cannon, they were all aimed at Zhao Wushuang. The attack was gradually offset, rendering it ineffective when it reached the tribulation.

“A lord-grade fortress ship?!” With an ear-piercing cry and a quick shake, Ge Yanxia transformed back to her true form. The enormous black fur seal twisted her bulbous body into a charge at the fortress ship.

“No!” The Primus dao immortal steering the ship changed course in panic and rammed Ge Yanxia.

“Hehehe!” Cackling, Ge Yanxia retaliated in kind with black, rotten seawater seeping out of her skin.

Rumble!

Knocked off-kilter, the giant fortress ship spun in place. Meanwhile, other spectators in the area made their moves as well. Blinding rays of sword energy pierced through the sky, arcing toward Zhao Wushuang. All sorts of treasures, talismans, and even formations were activated to attack him.

Even dao immortals would be critically injured by such a barrage, let alone a void realm cultivator attempting their ascension.

“Hmph.” Donglin Taihuang and Qi Hai acted as well. They didn’t put their backs into it like Ge Yanxia had, but merely blocked the terrifying attacks with a few simple flicks instead.

Nevertheless, there were too many who’d plumbed the depths of Exalted Major’s capabilities. In addition to the human race and the monster spirits, even some fellow divines were attacking Zhao Wushuang. The melting pot of immortal swords, treasures, and combat arts in the air seemed even greater than the tribulation itself!

Faced with this very real secondary threat, Zhao Wushuang had to deal with the attacks and fight the tribulation at the same time. Blood quickly drenched his clothes and he seemed on the verge of collapsing.

Within the tribulation clouds, otherkind creatures more deadly than the lightning gradually sharpened into focus.

The Exalted celestial emperor roared with hapless rage. He was blocked by two figures of his level, as two celestial emperors had come to intervene in person!

Kaboom!

An earth-shattering explosion rang out from the tribulation clouds, turning the clouds covering the Divine Sea scarlet. The power of the lightning grew exponentially as well, marking the evolution of the already deadly Diabolical Tribulation of World Refinement into something else, something unknown.

A figure descended from the air with the Sword of Chaos in hand.

Dongfang Hao, Sword Divine.
