1256: Chapter 370 Thai Zu’s Boundary Status_2 1256: Chapter 370 Thai Zu’s Boundary Status_2 The Emperor’s Sword landed in Ya Ya’s hands, and with a strum its long song commenced, pointing at the incoming Fire Phoenix with a single thrust.
With the nation’s destiny empowering it, its combat power was more than doubled.
A single thrust aimed at the Fire Phoenix’s brow instantly arrested its diving momentum, the blade spun, tracing a stroke of Sword Light, and a Phoenix head tumbled down, spinning.
Down below, Feng Jiu slightly recoiled its neck.
Is this entire family this monstrous?
The slain Phoenix’s corpse fell onto the Tribulation Cloud’s land, turning into a blaze that swiftly consumed the freshly sprouted seedlings.
Ya Ya walked amidst the flames, reaching out her hand towards the true land.
“Rain, come!”
Vast rain, at her command, altered course, tracing an arc towards the fields beneath the Tribulation Clouds.
The downpour extinguished the wildfire.
The rain from the Heavenly Tribulation doused its own blaze, an apt resolution.
With the celestial fire extinguished, Ya Ya gazed upon the barren land and laughed, summoning an ox and plow with a gesture of her hand!
Should a natural calamity strike, then let it come again.
Plowing, farming, sowing, spacing the seedlings…
In nearly the blink of an eye, it was as if time had cycled.
Tribulation Clouds repeatedly gathered natural calamities, be it floods, fires or windstorms…
Each time the seedlings were destroyed, they would be sown again.
Over and over, the stalemate between Ya Ya and the Heavenly Tribulation entered a strange state, as if competing in a display of stubborn fortitude.
Beneath the altar, the officials bowed their heads, their collective fortunes coalescing, forming an auspicious cloud of beasts and birds above them.
Birds soared, beasts roared.
Unbeknownst when, figures began emerging on the land beneath the Heavenly Tribulation, first Green Snake, abruptly appearing with a hoe to enter the fields.
Then, one by one, the officials appeared, followed by cultivators from the nation and then commoners arose.
Fueled by fortune, will, determination…
a composite formation.
As the king struggles, they too shall follow!
No blades nor spears, no bloody winds or rains of death, just each person with a hoe in hand, tilling and sowing the land!
Incredulously, amidst every kind of disaster from the Heavenly Tribulation, they cultivated crops.
An acre, two acres…
Suddenly, vast tracts materialized!
Gleaming expanses of gold without end.
Standing upon the bountiful harvest, Ya Ya roared with laughter, facing the Tribulation Clouds, beholding the heavens and earth, with head held high and chest thrust out!
Her small frame radiated a domineering aura that overlooked the world.
The heavens, just so!
The natural calamities ceaseless, but a gentleman’s resolve is unwavering!
Boom!
A peal of thunder, and the land of the Heavenly Tribulation loaded with crops began crumbling away bit by bit.
As if the crops had drained the nourishment from the land, leaving no earth behind.
Ya Ya stood in the sky, as behind her, the National Fortune Dragon Turtle coalesced anew.
“You, have lost!”
She had prepared the four human tribulations of clothing, food, shelter, and travel—essential for the livelihood of the people, yet the Tribulation Cloud had barely managed one.
Thus—
Ya Ya descended onto the back of the National Fortune Dragon Turtle, watching the Tribulation Clouds above Nine Heavens that had not completely disintegrated, her voice carrying authority: “Wherever the flag of Great Zhou is planted, there shall be favorable winds and rains, and disasters shall retreat!”
This decree bore the weight of commanding the heavens and the earth.
Thunder rumbled!
The remaining Tribulation Clouds roiled, fusing together and bursting with thunderous fury, as a figure coalesced within.
The Heavenly Tribulation remained defiant.
Ya Ya smiled and reached out to grasp her Golden Hammer; the Emperor’s Sword was good, but she preferred not to use swords.
The Emperor’s Sword could serve as a ritual tool!
With a swing of her Golden Hammer, Ya Ya was ready to charge into the Tribulation Clouds, but the figure at the center of the Tribulation gave a strange downward glance.
Then, it burst into a thunderous explosion.
The figure spawned by the Heavenly Tribulation self-destructed.
What followed was a tremendous force, bearing down like the Suppression of the heavens and the earth.
Ya Ya’s expression shifted, yet in front of her a flash of light occurred, and a towering figure stood in the way, protecting her behind.
An icy sneer from Su He: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Ya Ya immediately retreated, pulled toward the altar below by Su Huanian.
She looked up only to see a silhouette before her father, the very crone who had entered her City Lord’s Mansion.
Li!
She had been hiding behind the Heavenly Tribulation!
Faint glimpses revealed the figure of the Tribulation self-destructing, opening up a Pure White Space, and Li walking out from it.
Su He’s eyes narrowed: “Was it you who tried to harm my daughter when you entered the city?”
Su He spoke while his aura climbed fiercely.
Without a word, Li appeared and struck downwards with her cane.
Annihilating heaven and earth.
She aimed not only to strike at Su He, she wanted to obliterate this very slice of heaven and earth with a single cane strike.
“Seeking death!”
With a cold snort, Su He’s Turtle Shell phantom flickered behind him, a pointed finger thrust forward, and the phantom of a finger bone collided with the Dragon Head Walking Stick.
Ya Ya held her breath, her fists clenched tight, eyes fixed on the sky.
It was then Su Huanian’s hand reached out to shield her eyes: “Do not look!”
She was not yet able to witness such a level of conflict.
Ya Ya obediently lowered her head.
But then a humming vibration forced her to look upwards involuntarily, only to see the entire sky turned pure white.
It was as if everything above and below was obliterated, returned to nothingness.
It took a full ten breaths to recover.
But in those ten breaths, the situation had upheaved.
The Tao Master sighed and patted the Yellow Bull as they ascended: “Ancestor of Yuan Sovereign, what a grand title!
Bullying my household’s less-than-a-hundred-year-old Fourth Master?”
He tapped the bull to move forward, joining the battle, yet a voice came: “Where is my friend going?”
An old man clad in a Yellow Robe, wielding a seal, stood in his way.
“Feng Lao San.” The Tao Master frowned.
“You actually left the Star Sea?”
The Sealed Emperor Three Ancestor, Jie!
The Sealed Emperor Three Ancestor chuckled: “If one abandons pretense, leaving the Star Sea isn’t so hard after all.”
The Star Sea could not easily be left unless with equal force.
If the Sealed Emperor were to leave, it would surely require the support of Yuan.
The Tao Master shook his head slightly: “My friend, you’ve cut off your own retreat.”
They could leave the Star Sea effortlessly because Thai Zu held the Tao Ancestor Hairpin.
If the Sealed Emperor wished to depart, a similar force was needed.
Thus, they had to rely on Yuan.
