chapter-1337

1337 My realm is skyrocketing, what do I do about my combined magical treasure? At this moment, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song suddenly understood how such a huge number of Skylark’s body parts ended up inside the giant turtle of disaster’s belly.

“Oh, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, you are awake.” Skylark, who was rolling around within the heavenly tribulation, somehow still had the time to greet Song Shuhang.

She waved at Song Shuhang while showing a heroic smile.

She looked truly miserable.

“Senior Skylark, are you not going to consider transcending the heavenly tribulation in another way?” Song Shuhang asked while quickly retreating to avoid the aftermath of the tribulation lightning.

The target of the heavenly tribulation was Skylark, and he was only dragged into it. As long as he kept his distance, the heavenly tribulation temporarily wouldn’t pay him much heed.

Yes, temporarily…

After disposing of Skylark, the heavenly tribulation would definitely go after him.

Skylark smiled, and said, “No, I’m very well right now… Aaah! You don’t have to worry about me.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

But Senior Skylark, I really can’t see how the hell you’re ‘very well’ right now! It looks like you’re going to end up dead very soon.

Also, judging from the form of the tribulation, the next wave of attacks is coming. It’s likely that that next wave will already be the modernized heavenly tribulation.

Ah, it’s coming already.

Just as Song Shuhang had thought of it, swarms of heavenly tribulation guided missiles emerged from the sea of lightning.

They were only ordinary guided missiles, not nuclear warheads.

If this wave were to explode, Song Shuhang felt that he would find it hard to get through it with his weak body.

“Fairy Waiting for a Promise, come out!” Song Shuhang summoned the virtuous lamia.

Unfortunately, the virtuous lamia didn’t appear.

The [Wielder’s small black room] was a very mysterious place, and the virtuous lamia was currently still attached to the main body, and couldn’t be transferred over.

Song Shuhang complained, “Heavens, I forgot to renew my tribulation-transcending cheat.”

As stated before, there were roughly three paths a cultivator could choose to transcend their tribulation. Skylark did not choose any of them, and neither did Song Shuhang.

He recalled that for his Third and Fourth Stage tribulation, he had actually relied on external cheats to get through them.

It wasn’t that he was a coward, but the heavenly tribulations that he had to face were simply too abnormal. Even this time, he met an Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation! How was he, a Fourth Stage cultivator, supposed to be able to deal with them in a normal manner?

There were proper heavenly tribulations that could be given to him! For example, he wasn’t afraid of an ordinary Fourth Stage heavenly tribulation, and he could’ve even faced it head-on.

However, when faced with abnormal heavenly tribulations, he had no choice but to use external cheats.

The virtuous lamia was currently Song Shuhang’s biggest cheat against heavenly tribulations. She and Song Shuhang were one entity, so working together to get through the tribulation would not increase its power. In addition, as long as she wore the ‘flat imperial hat’, even if it was an Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation, she would be able to deal with it.

Besides that, he had another constantly evolving cheat, his ghost spirit Ye Si. But similar to what had happened during his last heavenly tribulation, she was closing up and thus unable to help him.

As for the ‘puppet maiden’ who had played a huge role in the previous heavenly tribulation, she was still in the process of self-repair. She had already acquired the materials she needed from ‘Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman’, but she had yet to completely repair herself.

Moreover, the puppet maiden was with his main body, and could not be transferred over.

He did still have some other cheats, which included Senior Turtle, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, and the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, all of which were in his Inner World.

However, these were considered ‘external forces’… As such, once they intervened in the heavenly tribulation, its power would greatly increase.

Moreover, the Inner World was also restricted after entering the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.

After Song Shuhang’s Inner World had upgraded, its functions became stronger, and the restrictions placed upon it by the Heavenly Tribulation Realm were greatly weakened. However, the restrictions were still there, and so to open it while in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm would take a considerable amount of time.

Should I fight back? Song Shuhang looked at the rain of guided missiles coming at him.

This is truly beyond what I can handle.

It was especially so now that his equipment wasn’t with him, and all of his cheats were unavailable. Once the guided missiles exploded, they could directly take his life.

Skylark boldly said, “Just stay back… I’ll block the entire heavenly tribulation! Fire at me!”

Song Shuhang said, “Fairy Skylark, will you be able to handle it? I’ll be dead if you can’t.”

Skylark valiantly said, “Trust me, I will never let you die in front of me!”

Why did that sound like a line from some TV show?

Song Shuhang backed away with every ounce of power he had.

“Boom~”

The guided missiles exploded.

Skylark puffed out her chest and relied on her flesh to block the heavenly tribulation while at the same time striving to absorb and constrain all of the power of the explosions to protect Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song.

Although the guided missiles were blocked… There was still some shrapnel that shot towards Song Shuhang.

“I knew it would be like this.” Song Shuhang let out a sigh.

He used the Steel Hands Technique and made it so that his entire body was covered with a layer of steel.

Immovable Body of the Buddha!

Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha!

Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique!

Come on, it’s just some shrapnel, I can face it head-on!

Because he didn’t even have a weapon, he could only use his fist to meet the shrapnel.

“Boom~”

Even if it was mere shrapnel, it was still born from the heavenly tribulation. After a brief contact, the shrapnel turned into tribulation power that exploded on Song Shuhang’s body.

Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “Ah~ It’s that pain again! However, I should still be able to bear it.”

He kept swinging his fists and resisting the fragments of the heavenly tribulation.

While he was busy, he himself had not noticed some changes that were taking place in his body—the injuries that he was receiving from the heavenly tribulation were recovering in a mere dozen breaths.

It was a terrifying recovery speed.

This physical recovery ability came from Cheng Lin’s ❮Self-Healing Technique❯ that was automatically working and raising the speed of his recovery several times over.

The power of the explosions scorched his body black. However, after around ten breaths of time, the scorched layer of outer skin would fall off, revealing new and stronger flesh beneath.

The ❮Steel Hands Technique❯ continued to shine with a black sheen.

The ❮Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha❯ continued to gather more righteous qi and temper his body.

The ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯ began working on condensing a second Ancient Holy Ape Projection behind Song Shuhang.

His physical body continued to become stronger as he resisted the fragments of the weapons.

The heavenly lightning was also stimulating his body.

The second ‘immortal bone’ had grown and pierced the fat whale illusory core.

For other cultivators, leading their immortal bones to their illusory core was a very dangerous process. If they were careless and ended up breaking their illusory core, they would be stuck in their realm forever.

But for Song Shuhang, there was no such annoyance.

At this time, the saber intent armor exhibited an extraordinary magical effect.

As they pierced the fat whale illusory core, the immortal bones transformed into ‘saber intent armor’, and a piece of armor appeared on the back of the illusory core.

With the second immortal bone having formed, the third immortal bone began to show some movements.

At this time, Song Shuhang finally felt something.

Heavens, has my realm began to skyrocket? Is there no way to put a stop to this?

An improvement in his realm was a good thing, but he also needed to forge the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure before he reached the Fifth Stage Realm.

Currently, he’d only created the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Glove’.

My realm is improving too fast, this is troublesome!
