Chapter 376: Thirteenth Lava Wave (2/2)

Everyone was shocked including Zhang Badao. This was the first time they heard about it since they assumed the twelfth was the limit.

The king explained: “In the ‘Marvelous Record’, one supreme genius had been born in this region with an outrageous innate talent. He brought about the thirteenth wave during his Earth Tribulation. This wave is deep underground so one must get down in that ocean of lava to surpass this tribulation.”

“How come I’ve never heard of this before?” Zhang Badao was astounded. There were too many strange things in the cultivation world. One must be strong enough before finding out about them.

This was the reason why there were so many frogs under the well.

The Divine King gave him the side-eye in response: “This supreme talent was born tens of thousand years ago. The Jin Dynasty didn’t exist back then.”

“What height did he reach in the end?” Badao became excited.

Even prodigies with twelve waves had incredible achievements in the future and became invincible. Now, his Junior Brother has brought about the next wave. It meant that his talents were even greater than the others. Thus, Badao’s excitement became palpable.

The king shook his head: “The sea of lava down there isn’t a place a grand achievement God Base could go. That supreme genius turned to ashes down there with a failed Earth Tribulation.

The smile on Badao’s face disappeared instantly.

Incineration was the fate of a failed Earth Tribulation.

A power was pulling Feiyun in the center of the earth. His body had no choice but to approach closer. The soil and gravel actually made way for him.

The more downward he went, the hotter it became. Eventually, he fell into a sea of lava.

Feiyun was already prepared and summoned his spirit vessel. He stood on top with the Dragon-horse Diagram floating above to stop the liquid completely.

The lava here only had an ordinary temperature unlike the waves from the Earth Tribulation. They didn’t have the same destructive power either.

“So this is the inner earth?” Feiyun was sweating profusely while exerting all of his spirit energy outward to the vessel.

Who knows how deep this place was below. A cultivator like him couldn’t be here. Just the squeezing pressure of the earth alone could crush his body.

Luckily, the vessel barely protected him. This place was as deep as hell. The earth’s core just needed to quake a bit and he would die without a grave even with the vessel in his possession.

Luck played a great factor in this place. Even without the next lava wave, he would die under the natural force of the earth.

This was not the time to linger around!

“Why isn’t the thirteenth wave here yet?” The moment he had this thought, a monstrous flame swept through the sea of lava.

The thirteenth wave appeared and actually turned into a large humanoid form. It unleashed a palm towards Feiyun.

It was made from lava and the energy of the earth. This palm was very similar to the claw from the eleventh wave. However, this new one was a full humanoid.

While standing on the vessel, Feiyun had to withstand the force of the earth on top of fighting against this gigantic monster. This was more than ten times harder than dealing with the eleventh wave. He felt suffocated and unable to resist.

‘Can’t give up right now! Absolutely not! Giving up is death!’

Feiyun bit his teeth and his battle intent surged again.

‘I shall fight!’

“Rumble!”

Feiyun unleashed all of his techniques in order to risk it all just once. The Infinite Spirit Ring, Thunderfire Jewel, stone saber, and the Heaven Punishing Hammer created from his divine intents.

All 9,876 beast souls rushed out from his body as well and turned into a brutish torrent that flooded the area.

His true body controlled the spirit vessel to fly towards the monstrous humanoid.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

More than one thousand beast souls were melted into smoke. Feiyun spat out blood with this grievous injury. Even his forty divine intents were beaten into submission, on the verge of dissipating. They had to fly back into his mind.

Nevertheless, he was still able to barely shatter the thirteenth wave as the reward.

“Damn. Almost got erased by that earthly energy. My luck is really something, to attract such a terrible Earth Tribulation. At least I got through it…”

His heart suddenly skipped a beat and felt that another power deeper into the earth was pulling him down. His body sank towards the sea of lava for the second time. [1]
