No matter how many the divine essence, it was also just a consumable. It was very hard to replenish.
He did not think that transcending tribulation this time actually had to utilize so much divine essence.
At this rate, the divine essence in Ye Yuan's body was already unable to support more than a few times of his consumption.
It was just that this current sort of situation, Ye Yuan had no other alternatives too. No matter how precious divine essence was, it was also not as precious as his life.
Rumble …
The quadruple-heavenly tribulation landed in succession. Even if he had the Sacred Dragon Token in his possession, Ye Yuan was also slammed by the massive energy undulation until he tumbled around everywhere.
When the dragon clan's members saw the situation, all of their expressions changed drastically.
It changed not because Ye Yuan was sent flying, but because the clan protecting grand array's tremors were already becoming more and more intense under this kind of terrifying impact.
Under the four heavenly tribulations, the entire Azure Dragon Clan felt the earth quakes and mountains sway. This sort of feeling was distinctly more much intense compared to before.
Ao Duo's expression also changed, and he said to Long Zaitian, "Prepare to activate the Seven Constellation Grand Array! The clan protecting grand array probably can't last until Ye Yuan finishes transcending the tribulation!"
Long Zaitian's expression changed, and he said, "This … This isn't possible, right? Making the experts in the clan maintain the array formation, it shouldn't be possible to breach it, right?"
Ao Duo shook his head and said, "This boy must have done something that violated Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, it's definitely impossible for Dao Profound heavenly tribulation to be so terrifying! Carry on developing like this, the power of the ninth wave will definitely be unimaginable. Even you and I might not be able to survive inside it too."
Long Zaitian opened his eyes wide but was still somewhat half-dubious towards Ao Duo's words.
But the meaning in Ao Duo's words was that this Ji Qingyun was dead for sure.
At least, the Sacred Dragon Token was going to return to the dragon clan.
Bolt after bolt of quadruple-heavenly tribulations landed, each more powerful than the last. Ye Yuan's divine essence poured into the Sacred Dragon Token like it was free. But even so, after nine bolts of quadruple-heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan's injuries were already very frightening.
If not for Ye Yuan being powerful, just the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation were sufficient to smite him to death.
Ye Yuan had just recovered for not long, and he was covered in blood all over again, becoming a spent force.
Except, the heavenly tribulation did not have the slightest intention of pitying him. After the eighth round's nine bolts of heavenly tribulation, the fifth tuft of tribulation cloud started slowly forming in the sky.
At this moment, even heaven and earth changed color!
Sensing that terrifying pressure, Long Zaitian's expression became incomparably ugly. Only now did he know that Patriarch's words were not exaggerating things to raise the alarm!
Even though this quintuple-heavenly tribulation was not coming for him, he actually had an impulse to turn around and run. Then the pressure of Ye Yuan situated in the center of the storm could be imagined!
Ao Duo's expression could not help changing greatly when he saw the situation and shouted sternly, "Quick! Activate the Seven Constellation Defending Grand Array!"
In the wake of Ao Duo's order, several rays of light beams rose from the ground up in the totem territory, exactly identical with the White Tiger Clan.
Seven light beams directly condensed and formed a grand array, but did not summon out the spirit of the azure dragon.
After this Seven Constellation Grand Array condensed and formed, the originally faltering dragon clan territory also stabilized itself.
"Huuuu …"
With the fifth tribulation cloud as the center, a fierce wind suddenly howled. Countless flying sand and stone closed in.
Gradually, those scattered sand and rocks all condensed together, becoming larger and larger!
At first, it was a small hill.
Later on, this small hill became bigger and bigger!
Ye Yuan dragged his exhausted body, his entire scalp tingling as he said with a bitter smile, "Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation! Truly thinking too highly of me, Ye Yuan! This kind of heavenly tribulation, how can a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse possibly transcend it?"
It was also just Ye Yuan. If it were others, they would have long been blasted into residue by the heavenly tribulation at this time already.
But facing this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Yuan also somewhat broke down.
Even if he had the Sacred Dragon Token in possession, facing this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, a feeling of powerlessness also welled up in his heart.
This battle with the heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying than when he faced Ji Canglan.
This power of heaven and earth was not what a human's strength could resist at all!
Lightning belonged to metal. It was a metal-attribute heavenly tribulation.
Tribulation fire was fire-attribute heavenly tribulation.
Ice belonged to water, it was a water-attribute heavenly tribulation.
Wind belonged to wood, a wood-attribute heavenly tribulation.
This fifth heavenly tribulation was naturally an earth-attribute heavenly tribulation.
That towering high mountain already gradually formed, giving people a pressure of Mount Tai crashing down.
Five elements gathering, this power was already completely not what individual attributes could compare to.
Five elements gave birth to each other. This Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation gathering together, the power was not as simple as one plus one.
"Patriarch, is … is this really heavenly tribulation? Why do I feel like the entire world is going to be destroyed?"
Only at this time, did Long Zaitian know that Ao Duo's prediction was not over-the-top, but too light.
This level of heavenly tribulation, with his current strength, going up was also certain death!
Ye Yuan had only just stepped into Dao Profound, and he had to face such a catastrophic heavenly tribulation. How was there still any chances of survival?
Even though Ao Duo had long expected it, seeing that kind of heavenly tribulation in the sky, he was deeply astonished too.
"For 100 thousand years, I've never heard before of anyone who could encounter this level of heavenly tribulation! What in the world did Ji Qingyun do to attract such a heavenly tribulation?" Ao Duo muttered to himself.
Long Zaitian s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said, "Patriarch, if nine bolts come from such a heavenly tribulation, can the Seven Constellation Grand Array withstand it?"
Ao Duo shook his head and said, "If my conjectures are right, this ninth round of heavenly tribulation should just be this one bolt!"
Chapter 1018 - Vast Heaven Stele, Open!
Five elements gathering, this was the process of quantitative change to qualitative change. It was already entirely different from the heavenly tribulations before.
Five elements reinforced and counteracted each other. But under the heavenly tribulation, the counteraction of the five elements was weakened to the lowest, while the reinforcement was augmented to the greatest!
This was also the reason why after the last tuft of tribulation cloud appeared, it gave people a feeling of decimating the heavens and destroying the earth.
The eight rounds of heavenly tribulation at the front were all for the sake of brewing this ninth round!
Hence, Ao Duo judged that this ninth round of heavenly tribulation was only one bolt.
This Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation completely could not be judged with common sense already.
Its terror was already tot
ally not what a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation could compare to.
Ye Yuan's scalp tingled. The power of this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation was seriously too terrifying. If he currently had Divine King Realm strength, maybe he could attempt to resist it a little.
But the present him could not oppose it at all.
Even if he had a divine artifact, it would not do either!
Just as Ye Yuan lost all hope, Long Teng's voice suddenly transmitted into his head.
"Ye Yuan, quickly inject emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele!"
Ye Yuan was startled, but there was already no time to think at the moment. His mind stirred, and he escaped into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
But this scene aroused the dragon clan's attention.
"Eh, where did Ji Qingyun go to? Why is he gone?"
"Heard that he has a spatial quasi-divine artifact. He should have hidden inside, right? It's just that … is this useful?"
"Heavenly tribulation points directly at the martial artist themselves. Even if he has a spatial divine artifact, it's also not possible to avoid the heavenly tribulation! Furthermore, such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, even a quasi-divine artifact probably has to receive damage as well, right?"
The matter of Ye Yuan possessing the Vast Heaven Pagoda was already not some secret. Therefore, the dragon clan's members all guessed where Ye Yuan went very quickly.
It was just that they thought that Ye Yuan was afraid of the heavenly tribulation and went to hide.
In virtually an instant, Ye Yuan's figure appeared before the Vast Heaven Stele.
Long Teng's figure also appeared at his side and said, "Fang Tian's heavenly tribulation back then was also very terrifying. But his Dao Profound heavenly tribulation only called down a tri-heavenly tribulation, while you actually summoned the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation in full!"
Clearly, Long Teng was speechless too.
When he saw the seventh round of heavenly tribulation, he knew that things were not good.
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, since you knew long ago, you should have warned me beforehand! I'll die like this!"
Long Teng said, "You have the Sacred Dragon Token, transcending past tri-heavenly tribulation shouldn't be a problem. Who knew that … you actually called down the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation at one go?"
Ye Yuan said speechlessly, "Looks like it should be because of the Soul Suppressing Pearl! No time to talk nonsense anymore, what should I do?"
"Your emperor qi already went through the baptism of a quadruple-heavenly tribulation. It should be rather condensed and sufficient to activate the Vast Heaven Stele! Fire your emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele and produce a resonance with your bloodline, and you'll be able to officially activate the Vast Heaven Stele!" Long Teng said.
Ye Yuan was unbelievably amazed. He thought that he could already control the Vast Heaven Stele all along. Did not think that he had not even accomplished activating it until now.
Honestly speaking, obtaining the Vast Heaven Pagoda for so long, the Vast Heaven Stele really did not help him too much.
No wonder even Fiendgod Jia Lan was incredibly apprehensive of the Vast Heaven Stele. Turns out that this Vast Heaven Stele's basic condition for activating was stepping into Dao Profound Realm!
Without emperor qi … one could not open up the Vast Heaven Stele at all!
Ye Yuan did not dare to hesitate, injecting the emperor qi that had just formed above the essence energy sea into the Vast Heaven Stele all together.
Rumble!
The Vast Heaven Stele suddenly erupted with a blinding light. The entire Vast Heaven Pagoda shook unceasingly.
In an instant, light illuminated the entire Vast Heaven Pagoda.
At this moment, the Vast Heaven Pagoda seemed to have been activated, its size suddenly growing rapidly.
The dragon clan members were endlessly shocked by this unforeseen event that came suddenly. Only at this moment, did they see the true features of that quasi-divine artifact!
Rumble!
An enormous pagoda directly stomped on top of the Seven Constellation Grand Array. That vast, imposing momentum actually faced the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation above the firmament from far away.
Right at this time, the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation descended with a loud crash!
That terrifying power seemingly pressed the entire blue sky down!
"Is this Ji Qingyun's final trick? Even the Sacred Dragon Token can't block it, what use is a quasi-divine artifact?"
Even though the Vast Heaven Pagoda's appearance was very astonishing, Long Zaitian was still very disdainful.
No reason other than that the Sacred Dragon Token was a heavenly divine artifact. It was even more terrifying than ordinary divine artifacts.
A mere quasi-divine artifact was not even fit to carry shoes for the Sacred Dragon Token. How could it possibly withstand such a terrifying heaven and earth major calamity?
But Ao Duo's expression sunk slightly and said, "I keep having a feeling that this quasi-divine artifact is somewhat unusual!"
"Although the power is decent, it's still too far away compared to the Sacred Dragon Token. It's also useless no matter how unusual, right?" Long Zaitian said scornfully.
Ao Duo did not refute. Even though he also felt that it was not too likely to block the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, he still felt that something was not quite right.
Right at this time, the Vast Heaven Pagoda's entire pagoda body gave off a dazzling golden light, shining until everyone could not open their eyes.
Following that, an enormous bang came from the skies.
Ao Duo's expression changed, and he said, "Not good!"
His figure suddenly vanished from where he originally stood. In the next instant, the Seven Constellation Grand Array suddenly radiated with a brilliant light, wanting to stop this massive aftershock.
Puu, puu, puu …
Even though Ao Duo increased the Seven Constellation Grand Array's power, the slightly weaker martial artists of the dragon clan were still struck by this terrifying aftershock until they vomited fresh blood wildly.
Ao Duo's figure appeared beside Long Zaitian once more and immediately spewed a mouthful of blood out. Long Zaitian's expression changed, and he supported Ao Duo as he said, "Patriarch! You … You're injured?"
Ao Duo waved his hand and said, "No worries, just a bit of minor injury. The power of this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation is too terrifying! If I don't strengthen the grand array's power, there might be quite a few clansmen who're going to die under this aftershock!"
Long Zaitian's expression was incomparably ugly and already cursed Ye Yuan countless over in his heart.
This fellow actually transcended tribulation in the dragon clan, wasn't this intentionally cheating people?
"Ji Qingyun that punk should have already thoroughly died, right? If he doesn't die, I'd really wish to supplement two tight slaps!" Long Zaitian said hatefully.
Ao Duo said, "A heavenly tribulation of such power, how could he possibly survive? The aftershock is going to dissipate at once. Hurry up and order people to go search for the Sacred Dragon Token!"
"Yes, Patriarch!" Long Zaitian voiced his assent.
Currently, the light in the sky had not dissipated yet. The people did not know what was happening in the sky at all.
But there was one thing, under such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan was definitely a dead duck already.
And those five tufts of terrifying tribulation clouds were currently in the midst of slowly dissipating.
The pressure became lighter and lighter. Only then did the members of the dragon clan let out a long sigh in relief.
Experiencing the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation at such a close-range, they had really had enough of it.
This sort of thing, it was fine to take a look. Being affected by heavenly tribulation, this sort of thing
, was seriously too terrifying.
If not for Patriarch, who knew how many people were going to die in the dragon clan today.
Very soon, the tribulation clouds scattered and disappeared, while the golden light that the Vast Heaven Pagoda released also gradually disappeared and faded away.
That instant when the light was completely gone, all of the dragon clan's members cast their glances towards the sky curiously.
Then … their eyes became wide-saucers!
Chapter 1019 - Dragon Clan's Two Great Flourishing Ages!
"This … This is not real, right? We activated the Seven Constellation Grand Array, and there were still so many people hurt. He … He's actually fine!"
After the shock, the dragon clan's experts all let out marveling sighs.
When everything dissipated, a tall and straight silhouette stood in the air. Although his entire body was covered with wounds, his imposing momentum was still shocking.
Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation was actually cleared by Ye Yuan?
This … How was this possible?
"Patriarch, this … this … I wouldn't have seen wrongly, right?" Long Zaitian stammered for a long time before sorting his words out.
Ao Duo also had a look of astonishment and said solemnly, "You didn't see wrongly, he really pulled through! Looks like that quasi-divine artifact really has strange aspects!"
Long Zaitian said in shock, "The Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation that even the Sacred Dragon Token couldn't block, what right does that quasi-divine artifact have to withstand it?"
Ao Duo did not reply Long Zaitian, because he did not know either.
But he could confirm that after that boundless light, something unusual definitely happened.
At this moment, the emperor qi in Ye Yuan's body surged. Going through the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation's tempering, his emperor qi was way more powerful compared to ordinary martial artists.
Just earlier, he poured emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele. The Vast Heaven Stele actually directly flew away from the Vast Heaven Pagoda and collided together with the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation.
