Chapter 1730 Want to trick me again? No way!

No matter if it was a physical body, primordial soul, plant, or structure, and no matter if it was time or space, everything would be wiped out from existence under the ‘Invisible Death’ tribulation.

It appeared that this was the ‘deadly tribulation’ that the Heavenly Emperor had mentioned previously.

Moreover, this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ seemed to be rather anxious to destroy them; it wasn’t taking the standard path at all.

As soon as the heavenly tribulation began, a ‘welcoming’ wave came to greet them, and then the second wave directly cut off their five senses. Immediately afterward, they were faced with the final, deadly tribulation.

If Song Shuhang had not connected with the Dragon Network, and had not received the prompt from it, then their unprepared party would have probably died when this ‘Invisible Death’ tribulation descended on them.

[If it’s possible to cut costs, you should do so even if the practitioners end up dying. After all, everyone’s going to die eventually, so why waste time with the procedures in the middle?]

The above was exactly what seemed to be the style of this ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’.

Song Shuhang quickly said, “How are we supposed to deal with this tribulation? Is there even a way to deal with it?”

The heavenly tribulation was different from the heavenly punishment. Theoretically speaking, no matter what kind of heavenly tribulation it was, it should still leave a way out for the practitioner transcending it.

The Dragon Network Assistant prompted, [Anyone who fails to pass the appraisal will be wiped out by the light. Only those who pass the appraisal can survive.]

In other words, it all depends on how one looks. If Uncle Heavenly Tribulation likes you and feels that you conform to its aesthetics, then you can survive. Otherwise, you’re dead.

Song Shuhang said, “Isn’t this too chance-based? Are there any other clues?”

The Dragon Network Assistant said, [Unable to calculate... Lost connection to the Dragon Network, attempting to reconnect.]

Song Shuhang thought, Then, we’ll have to go with the old method. Before the tribulation reaches us, I’ll first give Soft Feather and Doudou Resurrection Gold Coins, then kill them along with Little Yinzhu...

He still had several Resurrection Gold Coins, but he did not have enough for all of the primordial souls of the seniors from the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

The time inside the Group Tribulation Transcension Space was still frozen.

It was only Song Shuhang who was able to move around freely because of his ‘Dragon Network Authority’.

[Beep~ The ‘Invisible Death’ tribulation has begun, countdown set to 30 seconds.]

Song Shuhang inquired, “What can I do at this time?”

The Dragon Network Assistant said, “I think that you can only pray.”

27 seconds left.

“Just waiting for my death to come doesn’t fit my character,” Song Shuhang said. At this moment, his brain was calmer than ever before, and many thoughts quickly surfaced in his mind.

“I got it!” Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up, and he said, “I can try connecting to the Dragon Network, and then use the method which Lady Kunna used previously. I can make use of the physical bodies of the seniors, and have them replace their respective primordial souls.”

Even if their physical body was destroyed, they’d still have a chance at living. But if their primordial soul died, then it would really be the end for them. If one had to be given up no matter what, then the physical body was clearly a much better choice.

[Connecting to the Dragon Network... Connection failed.]

Song Shuhang said, “There are still 25 seconds left to connect. As soon as I connect to the Dragon Network, I will send out an order for the seniors’ primordial souls to be switched out.”

After saying that, Song Shuhang released his divine sense, locking onto Soft Feather and Doudou’s positions.

Of the set of 12 Resurrection Gold Coins he initially got, he was currently left with six coins.

However, there was still one in Li Yinzhu’s possession which had not been used yet.

Song Shuhang reached out, throwing two Resurrection Gold Coins at Soft Feather and Doudou.

Only 20 seconds left.

This should be about enough. Even if Soft Feather, Doudou, and Yinzhu can make their coins stand on their edge, they should still resurrect after the ‘Invisible Death’ heavenly tribulation has passed, Song Shuhang silently said in his mind.

He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. He activated the ?Variant Steel Hands Technique?, dyeing his fist pitch black, and 36 Holy Apes holding Scholarly Scriptures appeared behind him.

Song Shuhang said, “I’m sorry, Doudou.”

Then, he used his strongest Second Stage fist technique, ?Demon Subduing Buddhist Fist Technique?, and struck Doudou.

“Dang~”

His fist didn’t hurt Doudou in the slightest.

In this strange ‘Time Stop’ state, Doudou was invulnerable, and couldn’t be harmed.

Song Shuhang experienced a wave of weakness assaulting his mind.

10 seconds left.

[Reconnected to the Dragon Network, transferring all targeted primordial souls... Transfer failed, the primordial souls are in an untouchable and nontransferable state.]

Although the Group Tribulation Transcension Space was a semi-finished product, everything about it had already been arduously calculated, and it hardly had any bugs.

The primordial souls’ transfer failed.

8 seconds left.

Song Shuhang quickly said, “Connect to my Inner World through the Dragon Network! Then, open a small door beside me.”

[Beep~ Inner World opened successfully.]

Song Shuhang immediately tried to use the Inner World to accommodate everyone, but this also failed. As they were in a state where time was paused, they couldn’t be moved elsewhere.

“Then there is only one last option.” Song Shuhang’s consciousness entered the ‘Inner World’, and went to the Sword Saber Peak.

Over there was still a pile of Senior Skylark’s... body parts that made up a small hill.

Every time Song Shuhang saw this pile of Skylark’s body parts, he inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.

But this time, they had to be used.

Song Shuhang instantly grabbed a handful of Skylark’s long hair, and brought it out.

Skylark’s blue hair was very long, possibly enough to reach the calves from the head. Even if it was halved in length, it would still reach one’s back.

After Song Shuhang brought out the long hair, he threw it out so that he could let every single one of the primordial souls of the seniors, as well as Doudou, Soft Feather, and Little Yinzhu, come in contact with it.

At the last moment, he’d remembered the unreasonable spatial talent of the ‘giant turtles of disaster’ and their ability to directly bite a chunk of ‘space’, and forcibly take away Skylark’s body parts.

There were still 4 seconds left.

“Come on, hurry up.” Song Shuhang clutched several locks of Skylark’s long hair.

Now, he could only hope that the giant turtles of disaster would appear in time to swallow and take them away!

Just as Song Shuhang was thinking about it, a huge mouth opened in the void, ready to bite at the area where Soft Feather, Doudou, and Li Yinzhu were.

Just in time!

Moreover, there should be more than one giant turtle of disaster this time; there should be a group of them. And the other giant turtles of disaster should be able to swallow the rest of them.

Hurry up and swallow us, Song Shuhang excitedly thought to himself

But at this moment...

The giant turtle of disaster suddenly closed its mouth again, and returned to lurking back into the void, disappearing.

It did not choose to take away Soft Feather.

[Who the hell is trying to trick me again?] A female voice rang out.

The voice sounded very familiar.

It was the female giant turtle who had had her turtle shell snatched away by ‘Pavilion Master Chu Two’ previously.

Sure enough, tricking a turtle like that couldn’t be done multiple times... Especially when it was the same turtle.

It’s over, even our last hope has been crushed...

Song Shuhang no longer had any other ideas.

“Eh? How did Song Shuhang open an exit in the Inner World today? Where does this small window-like exit lead to?” In the last two seconds, a green onion sprout curiously peeked from the Inner World.

Senior Turtle’s anxious voice sounded. “Be careful, Lady Onion. Over there is the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, quickly come back!”

When Senior Turtle roared so loudly, Lady Onion was taken aback and fell out of the ‘gate’ to the Inner World, falling towards Song Shuhang.

“...” Song Shuhang.

There’s a door to heaven, yet you choose to avoid it; there’s no door to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, yet you choose to come in through the window? Lady Onion, why?

Shuhang anxiously said, “Go back!”

He lifted his leg and kicked Lady Onion, kicking her figure into the air and back towards the small window that led to the Inner World.

“Ow, ow, ow~” Lady Onion screamed again and again. While she was in mid-air, he discovered that her green onion sprout was... kicked off.

Song Shuhang didn’t have the time to control his strength; nonetheless, it was better for her to lose her onion sprout than lose her life. Before the Inner World disappeared, he had to send Lady Onion back.

[Beep~ Lost connection to the Dragon Network, attempting to reconnect.]

The small window to the Inner World disappeared.

F*ck, this damn coward! Why is it so unreliable at critical times?

The entrance was gone. Lady Onion flew into the air, fell back, and landed at Song Shuhang’s feet.

“...” Song Shuhang.

“...” Lady Onion.

At this time, far into the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, a small ‘brilliance’ was born.

That was the light of destruction, Invisible Death.

When Song Shuhang’s consciousness swept through the light, he felt a tingling pain assaulting his mind.

He squatted down, sighed, and touched Lady Onion’s wound. “Sorry... If I’d known earlier, I would have immediately shut the passage to the Inner World.”

“???” Lady Onion.

“Today, you are going to die with us.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand to activate the healing technique of his magical treasure, trying to make Lady Onion’s onion sprout grow back.

However, the healing technique was not at the level where it could regrow a limb, so Lady Onion’s onion sprouts only grew back slightly.

Song Shuhang thought for a while, took a few strands of Skylark’s long hair, and hung them on Lady Onion’s broken green onion sprouts.

He didn’t have any way to make up for the green onion sprouts, so he just chose to hang a few strands of hair together and use that. In this way, at least she’d look a bit more decent when she died.

Lady Onion stammered, “D-die?”

Song Shuhang calmly said, “Do you see that light in the distance? You should be able to see it. It is the light of destruction, the most terrifying heavenly tribulation I have ever seen.”

The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Soft Feather, Yinzhu, and Doudou began to slowly recover from the ‘Time Stop’ state.

Song Shuhang smiled bitterly, and said, “You would have been fine if you’d stayed in the Inner World. I just didn’t expect you to suddenly come here.”

Apologies, Senior Scarlet Heaven. Lady Onion, whom you cultivated with the plan of having her become the Wielder of the Will, is going to die with me today.

“Can I still be saved?” Lady Onion burst into tears.

Her magnificent onion life hadn’t even started yet; was she really going to die today?

Song Shuhang took out a Resurrection Gold Coin, and handed it to Lady Onion. “Take this. Whether or not you can survive... It all depends on your fate. If you really survive this time, I will give you freedom. Anyway, the enlightenment stone isn’t that useful to me anymore.”
