Chapter 492: Deathly Tribulation
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Cultivators who were able to make it to the Lifeless Riverbed were no weaklings and almost every one of them was extremely sensitive to treasures like this one. ‘To keep these ants here’ would definitely imply that these experts wanted to kill all of them instead of letting them leave.
After everyone heard this sentence, all the Heavenly Immortal experts tried even harder to escape in all four directions.
If they were outside, the five of them would be confident that they could contain all hundreds of them. However, now that they were in the Lifeless Riverbed coupled with the fact that they came with regulation talisman on them, the five of them were unable to capture everyone at once.
Mo Wuji was even crazier as he tried to escape. Fortunately, nobody noticed this fella who ran towards the unknown depth of Lifeless River instead of towards the surface.
Half a day later, Mo Wuji arrived where the black whirlpool was located at. The black whirlpool hadn’t emerged yet so Mo Wuji could only lurk around as he waited patiently.
Concurrently, there were only a minute few Heavenly Immortal cultivators with extreme speed or unique means who managed to escape from the clutches of the five experts and reached the surface of the Lifeless River.
This was also the disadvantage of escaping from the riverbed because if it was any other place, the five experts would definitely not be able to capture everyone once they had escaped in all four directions.
However, now that these cultivators were escaping from the riverbed, these experts simply had to wait for them at the surface of the river to hold everyone back.
Po Feng was the last to arrive at the Lifeless River and among the five experts from the Immortal World, he was evidently the strongest.
Currently, his eyes shifted from the hundreds of Heavenly Immortal cultivators in captive to the other four Immortal World experts before said, ”Fellow Dao friends, the gourd must definitely be on one of us and I believe the truth will be revealed very soon. As for those who managed to escape, I believe we will be able to find out about them very soon.”
”And if there was still someone hiding in the riverbed?” A slightly shorter man grunted as he disagreed with Po Feng’s words.
Po Feng was slightly startled before realising how true the words of this short cultivator was. So what if someone didn’t escape but chose to hide in the riverbed?
”No matter who they are, I believe that as long as they had arrived at the Lifeless River, someone would notice them,” Po Feng answered.
The Lifeless River was vast with no boundaries so if someone really chose to hide within the riverbed, it would truly be difficult for them to find him given their current strength.
…
Mo Wuji waited for over two hours and the black whirlpool finally reemerged as he charged straight into it.
Just as Mo Wuji charged into the black whirlpool, a tremendously shocking spiritual will swept across the area. In fact, this spiritual will was many folds stronger than the five experts’ spiritual will.
This spiritual will paused for a moment at the place Mo Wuji waited and then shifted away very soon after. As the spiritual will swept across the entire riverbed, it didn’t stop for anything else.
As the spiritual will reached the five experts on the surface of the Lifeless River, all of them felt the spiritual will and immediately bowed before greeting respectfully, ”Greetings Lord Heavenly Emperor.”
”Which one of you obtained the treasure of the Lifeless Dao Sect?” The majestic spiritual will could be felt by everyone.
Po Feng was the strongest there but he knew that the moment Heavenly Emperor asked about it, he wouldn’t get anything even if they had found the gourd. Even though he knew he wouldn’t get anything, Po Feng stood up and answered respectfully, ”The gourd disappeared all of the sudden and we are still in the midst of finding it.”
As the prestigious spiritual will became clearer, a faint silhouette started to appear gradually.
…
At this moment, Mo Wuji had already stepped onto the ninth step of the Immortal Seeking Staircase. His body started to disappear from the Immortal Seeking Staircase as he entered the mist at the top of the Golden Immortal Seeking Staircase.
Mo Wuji’s whirlpool domain extended out and the pressure from the Immortal Seeking Staircase on him was almost negligible.
After a few hours, Mo Wuji’s body became light as a powerful force swept him off his feet.
”Boom!” Mo Wuji felt like he was thrown from midair onto a pile of ruins.
Dense immortal spiritual energy could be felt and even before Mo Wuji started cultivating, his meridians were already unblocked.
As he used his spiritual will to scan the area, other than the ruins he was in, there was a continuous, superimposed mountain range with thick mist located further away from him.
It seemed like this should be the Immortal World and that everyone who exited the Lifeless River Immortal Seeking Staircase wouldn’t end up at the same place but a random location. The only problem was that he didn’t know which immortal domain he was in.
Just as Mo Wuji was wondering about his location, am immensely strong energy locked onto him and the sky above him turned gloomy. Could it be a lightning tribulation?
Mo Wuji became suspicious as he lifted his head and saw the dense dark clouds and the flashes of lightning within it. He was clearly not ready for the Golden Immortal tribulation so if it wasn’t the Golden Immortal tribulation, what tribulation could this be?
