865: 244 865: 244 The skies above the ancient ruins were filled with innumerable bolts of lightning that crazily descended, bathing the entire world in a purple hue.
Majestic mountains, under the relentless pounding of unparalleled thunderous force, were blasted apart peak by peak; rivers boiled, their waters evaporated; the earth collapsed unstoppably.
One by one, the Golden Core Stage Masters who entered this place fell to the ground under the strikes of lightning.
And it was far from over.
Lightning continued to fall, and within the void, amidst clusters of tribulation clouds, streaks of flame were also shot out.
The sky was ablaze, forming a continuous sheet of fire.
Even after passing through the light screen and descending into the ruins, it poured down like a sea of fire, enveloping the entire site.
Suddenly, the temperature of the whole ruins soared even more.
The scorching air seemed as if it would completely incinerate the whole world, reducing it to ashes.
With so much flame emerging, it almost as if the air of this realm was being purified and drained away.
The Golden Core Stage Masters who were still alive felt waves of intense suffocation washing over them.
The Tribulation Array, this is the Tribulation Array, not just a Heavenly Tribulation, but a convergence of numerous Heavenly Tribulations, akin to a Formation!
In the next moment, as the flames fell, the entire ruins ignited in an instant.
Not just the vegetation, but the air, and even the ground’s sand and stones, as well as the seawater—everything within the ruins was set ablaze.
Cao Zhen looked up, and wherever his eyes could reach, there were flames burning fiercely.
Only those at the Golden Core Stage could enter the ruins, and even those below the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage were extremely rare.
In this Reversal Mini Epoch Period, the Golden Core Stage was the top existence.
They had even grown accustomed to their own strength.
But under this Tribulation Array, they once again felt their own insignificance, and the Tribulation Array was still far from ending.
Endless gales swept in, uprooting trees that took several people to embrace, tumbling huge rocks down from high places, and lifting the broken earth into the air.
Amidst the hurricane, sharp Wind Blades shot out haphazardly, each so keen that upon striking the earth they instantly carved out deep ravines.
At that moment, even snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The snowflakes were bone-chillingly cold, as if they could freeze one’s soul, and despite the surrounding high temperatures, they seemed to encase the entire world in ice.
At the same time, within the void, drops of rain also descended.
These drops, appearing no different from ordinary rainwater, were as heavy as a thousand pounds, cratering the ground upon impact.
And from the void, there even wafted the stench of decaying matter.
Thunderbolts, gales, flames, frost, heavy water, miasma, great stones…
Countless Heavenly Tribulations swept in, and for a time, the entire ruins seemed as if Doomsday had arrived.
Cao Zhen unleashed his Divine Skills to fend off these Heavenly Tribulations.
Even with each of his Visionary Golden Cores possessing ten Divine Skills, he began to appear somewhat flustered.
Although he had previously triggered Heavenly Tribulations through Alchemy and Artifact Refining, those were merely tribulations, not a Tribulation Array.
Moreover, back then, existences like Ai Yunqi and Gu Chengyu from the Earth Immortal Realm helped him withstand the Tribulations.
Now, there was no one to help him.
Gradually, however, he realized there was no need to wield all ten Divine Skills from his Visionary Golden Cores together to counteract the Tribulations.
These were Tribulations from the Tribulation Array, naturally terrifying in power.
If it weren’t for the screen of light outside the ruins, they would all perish under this Tribulation Array.
But with the light screen present, the sheer force of the descending Heavenly Tribulations was much less, so he didn’t need to use the Divine Skills from his Visionary Golden Cores to fend them off.
Besides, he had many Divine Skills.
After all, he had connected with so many people.
The Divine Skills of those he was connected with were in his possession too, and the levels of their Divine Skills were all the same.
Especially Xiang Ziyu, who had been constantly practicing the numerous Divine Skills of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Thanks to the existence of “Essence of All Things,” Xiang Ziyu had cultivated those skills to the pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novᴇlfire.net
He could counteract the falling tribulations with different Divine Skills and techniques, whether they were thunderbolts, flames, or miasma.
Though he couldn’t dodge the Heavenly Tribulations by moving, as he became more accustomed to the frequency of their descent, he became increasingly composed.
Meanwhile, despite facing the greatest number of Heavenly Tribulations like Cao Zhen, Prince appeared even more composed than many other cultivators.
Treasured items flew around his body, warding off the assault of the Heavenly Tribulations.
While fending off the Heavenly Tribulations, he even had time to glance over at Cao Zhen’s situation.
The more he watched, the deeper his frown became.
What was going on with this Cao Zhen?
How could he have so many Divine Skills?
Divine Skills were naturally better in greater numbers, but a person’s experiences are limited.
How could one cultivate so many Divine Skills, and to such high levels?
In just this short period, in addition to those displayed by Cao Zhen himself, he had already released over a hundred different Divine Skills from his Visionary Golden Cores.
Moreover, these Divine Skills were a hodgepodge, every sort imaginable.
With all this time, wouldn’t it be better for him to cultivate other things?
