Chapter 1727 A new mode

Immortal Master Copper Trigram said, “This is crazy. Do you all not want to live? So many of you are here, yet you drew the heavenly tribulation?”

True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon explained, “To be accurate, little friend Shuhang had already been transcending the tribulation, and then we suddenly emerged from a spatial passage and got involved in his heavenly tribulation one by one. So… we’re the ones in the wrong.”

Immortal Master Copper Trigram went silent for a while. “We’re dead.”

Sorry, little friend Shuhang, your seniors are simply too unreliable. We’ve even caused you trouble.

“Yes, we’re all going to die.” Fairy Dongfang Six sighed quietly, and looked desperate. “Copper Trigram, can you show us your real face? Anyway, we’re all going to die.”

Copper Trigram replied, “No. Since we’re going to die anyway, I’d rather bring this secret to the grave. It would be best for everyone to continue guessing what I truly look like all the way until death.”

“...” Fairy Dongfang Six.

I hate those like you who don’t act according to normal routines.

Song Shuhang said, “As long as we don’t get brought into the ‘Heavenly Tribulation Realm’, we’ll be able to make it through.”

Both the ‘Impregnable Holy City’ and the ‘Holy Sword of the End’ were ready. Moreover, Song Shuhang was connected to the Dragon Network, which was constantly supplying him with energy.

“Shuhang, you’ve already said that,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer said. Before transcending the tribulation, can we not keep on planting flags?

But if I had not mentioned it again, I would have felt uneasy. Song Shuhang sighed inwardly.

He was actually cheering himself up.

“Boom~”

In the sky, the last wave of the heavenly tribulation finally condensed.

Its momentum was incomparably vast.

The tribulation clouds covered several ‘small dragon scale worlds’. Tribulation lightning and tribulation fire could be seen shuttling within the clouds. All kinds of strange forms of the heavenly tribulation were born, destroyed, and reborn in the clouds... It seemed that the heavenly tribulation was in the process of creating stronger forms.

Song Shuhang frowned.

Judging from the surface area of ??the tribulation clouds, the power of the heavenly tribulation had reached the level of ??the ‘enhanced Lightning Palm’ that Lady Kunna had drawn from the Ninth Stage heavenly tribulation.

If this were the case, then the power of the heavenly tribulation had fully and truly reached the Eighth Stage, perhaps even reaching the Ninth Stage.

And according to the laws that protected the main world, once the power of the heavenly tribulation reached the Eighth Stage—as it would cause immense damage to the surrounding area—the ascender would be forcefully dragged into the ‘Heavenly Tribulation Realm’.

I hope that that bug has been fixed already, Song Shuhang said in his mind.

[Beep~ Reminder: The main world’s cross-world heavenly tribulation has evolved and surpassed the Eighth Stage Realm in strength. A special space, the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’, has been created.] A prompt from the Dragon Network sounded in Song Shuhang’s ears.

“!!!” Song Shuhang.

He had been ready for the first half of the prompt, but the same could not be said for the second half.

The heavenly tribulation of the main world was constantly evolving, and even that bug that had previously made it so that they were sent to an ‘Eighth Stage Heavenly Tribulation Realm’ during the last ‘group tribulation’ had been patched.

Even though they were transcending as a group, the heavenly tribulation appeared to have optimized its calculations, making the tribulation much more bearable overall. If it were the old heavenly tribulation, the power of the heavenly tribulation would have probably broken past the Ninth Stage after most of the seniors got involved with their primordial souls. But under the new rules, the strength of the heavenly tribulation was temporarily just over the Eighth Stage.

However, the bug having been fixed did not mean that Song Shuhang and his party were going to transcend the tribulation right where they were.

When the heavenly tribulation was patching the bug, it came up with a brand-new idea—the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’, a space that met the needs of the practitioners of the universe.

This guaranteed that the might of the heavenly tribulation would not cause harm to the main world, and it also dealt with the bug of giving away ‘Sage Seals’ for free.

[It’s refreshing to transcend the tribulation with a group, though it is a path that leads to one’s death... Yu Jiaojiao’s seabed cemetery here! We have an end-of-the-year 40% sale!]

It was likely that this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ was able to host a Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation, but after the group got through it, they would not be rewarded with something as huge as a ‘Sage Seal’.

Honestly, this trip might end with a loss overall.

A Dragon Network prompt sounded. [The special space ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ has opened. Spatial transfer in progress.]

“Can I still connect to the Dragon Network while in the Group Tribulation Transcension Space?” This was what Song Shuhang was worried about the most.

On his shoulder, the Dragon Network Assistant replied, “Uncertain.”

This was the first time in history that a space like the Group Tribulation Transcension Space was created, as well as the first time anybody was entering it. Therefore, nobody had any idea what it looked like or in what form the heavenly tribulation would descend inside that space.

??????

The sky began spinning.

In the next moment, Song Shuhang felt that he was transferred to another place.

With him were the majority of the members of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ and Li Yinzhu.

He was able to bring in the two sets of Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. Ultimately, they were still Song Shuhang’s life-bound weapons.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer looked at this unfamiliar space, and asked, “Is this the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?”

See, this is why I said that you shouldn’t be planting flags before transcending the tribulation!

“This isn’t the Heavenly Tribulation Realm,” Song Shuhang replied. “This is the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’, a new idea the heavenly tribulation came up with after evolving.”

“...” Venerable Yellow Mountain.

To have been able to make the heavenly tribulation evolve and take on a new form, little friend Shuhang will definitely go down in history.

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber asked, “Where is the heavenly tribulation?”

At this time, the space where everyone was situated was a pure white world. There was nothing else in this world besides the white ground. There was nothing above their heads, either—no tribulation clouds, no tribulation lightning—and it was completely empty.

At this time, Song Shuhang’s feet were planted on the ground.

The Holy Sword of the End was by his side, and the Impregnable Holy City guarded Li Yinzhu.

The virtuous lamia gently wrapped around him.

The primordial souls of the seniors were gathered together and floated behind Song Shuhang—they looked just like how the Holy Apes would when Song Shuhang used the ?Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique?.

“I don’t see any heavenly tribulation, and I don’t sense its aura, either,” Fairy Lychee said. “What a strange world.”

Song Shuhang squeezed his chin, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind. “Could it be that this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ has yet to be completed? Maybe it’s still a semi-finished product?”

The heavenly tribulation was constantly evolving as of late, and it could even patch bugs.

However, it was not easy to create something like the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’. A space like this would require various rules about the power of the tribulation, the tolerance of the space, the mode of the heavenly tribulation, as well as other specifications...

Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da said, “If this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ is still a semi-finished product, then do we only need to stay in it for a while and, once we’ve ‘successfully transcended the tribulation’, we’ll be let out?”

Venerable Yellow Mountain reminded them, “I don’t think that the heavenly tribulation would be so kind. It’s still best for us to plan for the worst.”

The heavenly tribulation was a test for cultivators. Since it was a test, how could it be passed so easily?

“Everyone, stay alert. The heavenly tribulation could come crashing down at any moment.” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator agreed with Senior Yellow Mountain’s statement.

The fellow daoists worked as one, vigilantly keeping watch around themselves inside this white world.

After a long while…

Song Shuhang remarked, “I might know the reason the heavenly tribulation has not descended in this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’.”

Venerable Yellow Mountain asked, “What has the little friend Shuhang discovered?”

Song Shuhang replied, “We’ve been brought into this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’, but since I was transcending the heavenly tribulation in the Black Dragon World, which we came from, it’s probably stuck over there. In other words, the heavenly tribulation might be unable to get into this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’.”

He’d tried connecting to the Dragon Network through the ‘Dragon Network Assistant’ just now. He’d been able to form a connection, but it was very unstable, and it immediately cut off after he connected. He was thus unable to draw the energy of the Dragon Network.

However, through the Dragon Network, Song Shuhang had been able to get a glimpse of a few scenes—such as the roiling tribulation clouds that were still hanging above the Black Dragon World.

“...” Venerable Yellow Mountain.

The people who were to transcend the tribulation were already in, but the heavenly tribulation was shut outside. What kind of situation was this?

“If the heavenly tribulation can’t come in, what are we supposed to do here? If it never gets here, are we going to be stuck here forever?” Young Master Phoenix Slayer rubbed his brows. This was not the ending he wanted.

Northern River said, “Copper Trigram, it’s time for you to shine. Divine our fate and see if we can transcend this heavenly tribulation smoothly.”

“Do I still need to remind you that you shouldn’t ever divine your own fate?” Immortal Master Copper Trigram rolled his eyes.

Song Shuhang said, “I’ll continue to pay attention to the heavenly tribulation that’s hanging over the Black Dragon World. I’ll immediately inform you seniors if there are any changes.”

He was still able to intermittently connect to the Dragon Network through the Dragon Network Assistant, and through this intermittent connection, he was able to acquire bits of information.

Above the Black Dragon World, the roiling tribulation clouds finally stabilized.

When Song Shuhang connected to the Dragon Network this time, he got a message.

[Beep~ Detected a cross-world enhanced Eighth Level heavenly tribulation from the main world. Would you like to have it assimilated and transformed into a Black Dragon World’s tribulation?]

Even an enhanced Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation could be transformed?

Authority truly was a great thing. No wonder everyone wanted to have it.

“Transform it immediately,” Song Shuhang said quickly.

The Black Dragon World’s heavenly tribulation was mainly aimed at one’s spirit, and its physical damage was weak. In the same realm, the power of the Black Dragon World’s heavenly tribulation was far weaker than that of the main world.

[Beep~ The transformation has begun.]

However, before the transformation could be completed, the tribulation clouds above the Black Dragon World suddenly disappeared.

Song Shuhang loudly said, “It’s coming!”

There was only one possible reason for the disappearance of the tribulation clouds—they had been extracted from the Black Dragon World, and transferred into this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’.

Rumbling thunder sounded.

The tribulation clouds had finally entered this space.

A huge tribulation cloud covered the sky, its edges nowhere in sight.

At the same time as the tribulation cloud appeared, a purple flame emerged from the ground and blazed.

Li Yinzhu, who was being protected by the ‘Impregnable Holy City’, was fine for the time being.

However, Song Shuhang and the seniors were struck by the sudden burst of flames.

This kind of flame ignored defenses below the Sixth Stage, and only magical treasures and defenses above the Seventh Stage could resist them.

“So hot, so hot!”

“Why do I feel like these flames are directly burning my soul?”

“Eh? Strange?” Venerable Yellow Mountain held a purple flame between his fingers. “Are these flames illusory?”

The primordial souls of the seniors were not receiving much damage, but the pain of the purple flame burning their bodies was transmitted to their minds and magnified several times.

Song Shuhang stood amidst the purple fire, assessing the intensity of the pain.

This level of pain... It was still something he could easily bear.

He looked at the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group behind him, and his heart thumped.

In the next moment, all of their primordial souls ‘resonated’ with Song Shuhang’s primordial soul.

It was like the resonance which he had had with Venerable Yellow Mountain just a short while ago.

After the resonance, the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group felt that the pain of the ‘purple flame burning their body’ had weakened significantly.
