1240: Chapter 366 Cut Heaven 1240: Chapter 366 Cut Heaven “My dear, wait for me to cross this Heavenly Tribulation.” Su He spoke as his tiger claw slashed through the air, leaping out of the water already transformed into a human form.
His figure flashed and landed on the small island, with the Tribulation Clouds churning above his head.
Heaven’s authority raged.
A Heavenly Tribulation?
Su Huanian was surprised, this wasn’t just Thunder Tribulation, but Heavenly Tribulation!
Thunder Tribulation was a common occurrence, Cultivator’s in the Demonic Realm would face the Thunder Robbery Boundary.
Special magical treasures often invited Thunder Tribulation.
It was nothing unusual.
But Heavenly Tribulation—only when Cultivators push open the doors to immortality and achieve True Immortality does this occur!
It had become a legend, mere mortals didn’t even know immortals ever existed.
The Divine God Beasts were special.
In a sense, proving the Four Spirits was equivalent to proving oneself as an Immortal.
Even without moving, sleeping for seventy to eighty thousand years, the Four Spirits Divine God Beast could open Seven-fold Heavens.
That too was equal to the level of an Immortal.
Even if it’s the weakest Immortal.
Proving the Four Spirits and crossing the Heavenly Catastrophe was a matter of course.
But for refining treasures to face Heavenly Tribulation, how many years had it been since such an event occurred?
It was almost impossible in modern times, as refining Immortal Instruments required the laws of Fairy Tao, accessible only to the Immortals who had pushed open the doors of immortality.
Could Sister Ji have refined a body of an Immortal, extracted the Fairy Tao Principle, and integrated it into Lord Su’s sword?
As Su Huanian thought, he lightly stepped and his body instantly shot out of Autumn Lake, heading outside Long Moon Mansion.
At the same time, he held a large Grass Turtle, which was the Turtle Mother of Su He’s life.
It had not consumed the Demonic Fruit and didn’t have awakened Spirit Wisdom; it was just an ordinary Grass Turtle.
It had been raised in Autumn Lake for many years.
Now with the Heavenly Tribulation descending, it wasn’t suitable for it to stay here anymore, to avoid unnecessary complications.
Just as Su Huanian barely left Long Moon Mansion, a thunderbolt from above the Nine Heavens struck down.
Booming as it descended towards the island.
Unlike Su He’s previous tribulations, there was no warning.
The stage was set dramatically with a direct striking Horizontal Sword.
The Horizontal Sword buzzed, propelled upward to meet the forces of Heavenly Tribulation head-on.
Boom!
Crack!
Thunder roared, and atop the Horizontal Sword, a myriad of illusions unfolded, with the sun, moon, and the Twenty-eight Constellations hanging in the sky.
Stars filled the heavens.
As the lightning struck, the Horizontal Sword not only didn’t retreat but instead slashed upwards, cutting through with a slice that carried the starry sky with it.
The starry sky collided with the lightning, the lightning dissipated, the stars dimmed momentarily.
This was the moment!
Prepared early, Su He didn’t wait for the Horizontal Sword to rebound; with a flick of his hand and without hesitation, his own essence surged towards the Horizontal Sword.
As the power dispersed by the lightning, the Horizontal Sword instinctively manipulated its blade’s power, but before it could act, Su He took advantage of the situation.
Transferring the Immortal Instrument through tribulation was also the best time to make it his Life Bound Magic Treasure.
This blade was tailored for Su He, and derived from the auspicious essence that uplifted treasures; it bore no resistance to Su He’s power.
As Su He’s power surged, it received it seamlessly and struck another slash towards the sky.
This slash, brilliant as starlight, split the lightning.
The lightning burst but didn’t disappear.
Instead, it transformed into a beam of light, turning into a sky full of flames.
The entire world became a melting forge, as if it were about to recast the Horizontal Sword anew.
But it wasn’t just refining the sword, the process was also destruction.
If the Horizontal Sword could withstand and cross the Heavenly Tribulation, it would truly become an Immortal Instrument.
If it couldn’t, it would naturally be destroyed.
Su He stayed beside it, not aiding its tribulation directly, but merely channeling strength to support.
All the while, he felt the increasing closeness of his connection with the Horizontal Sword.
The Four Directions Sword buzzed and trembled, enduring the scorching fire of tribulation, unexpectedly cleaving through it, slicing through the sea of fire.
The flames then transformed into a violent wind.
Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning cyclically descended.
Gradually, they weren’t limited to striking the Horizontal Sword; even Su He was affected.
The connection between him and the Horizontal Sword had reached an extent as if they were one entity.
It was like an extension of Su He’s own limbs.
In this moment, he truly understood what “A Life Bound Magic Treasure is the cultivator’s own self” meant!
Su He even had an illusion that if one day he died and his soul perished, he might be able to be reborn through the Horizontal Sword—if the Horizontal Sword did not shatter, he had not truly perished.
Similarly, if the Horizontal Sword was thoroughly destroyed, as long as Su He lived, he could nurture it anew within his body.
Just like his relation with the toad.
The Tribulation Clouds rolled and transformed into wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, striking at both Su He and the Horizontal Sword simultaneously.
The elements in midair had already taken shape, sometimes as dragons or phoenixes, other times as tigers or leopards, roaring as they approached.
Su He raised his hand and summoned the Horizontal Sword into his grip.
He twirled the blade, slashing towards the sky.
In an instant, the tribulation fire and lightning reversed, shattering the Thunder Dragon and Fire Phoenix, directly charging into the Tribulation Clouds.
The blade light turned into stars and exploded within the Tribulation Clouds, blasting a hole in it, which then rolled over itself to mend the breach.
All the sky’s thunder and heavenly fire ceased at this moment.
Unlike when Su He crossed his tribulation, after one level of Heavenly Tribulation there was usually a rest period.
There was no rest for the Immortal Instrument’s tribulation.
It was only that Su He’s slash had shattered the Tribulation Clouds, and they needed time to reassemble.
The Tribulation Clouds rolled and recongregated, swiftly returning to their original state, yet they did not descend again.
Instead, they continued to gather, growing larger and thicker by the moment, already several times larger than before, but still they expanded without pause.
Su He quirked the corner of his mouth, the Tribulation Clouds now including him under the Heavenly Tribulation.
It was gathering a Heavenly Tribulation suitable for Su He.
In a flash, Su He’s figure escaped Long Moon Mansion, heading directly for East Cloud Mountain.
Such a Heavenly Tribulation could turn Long Moon Mansion into dust merely with its residual might.
In the entire East Cloud Mountain, only a few Sects remained, presenting a pristine natural scene.
Su He turned into a beam of light, landing on the site of the former No-Phase Sword Sect.
Previously, Zhu Yan was suppressed here, and the entire No-Phase Sword Sect was destroyed, with the remaining disciples returning to Qingyuan.
It felt like it had only been a moment, yet decades had passed.
Above him, the Heavenly Tribulation followed, flickering in arrival.
The Dark Wild colored Tribulation Clouds dominated the sky and earth, and all the Sects within East Cloud Mountain faced the apocalypse, without knowing what to do.
