Chapter 540: Five Elements Tribulation

Under the sky covered by dark clouds, Jiang Yun looked very small.

However, he was not afraid of the Tao Calamity despite his small size.

In fact, he was filled with strong determination.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At that moment, the sound of thunder in the dark clouds was suddenly replaced by a sound like waves hitting the shore.

And then, the dark clouds covering the sky turned into rolling waves!

It was as if a sea appeared in the sky, an upside-down sea!

Wuyang’s expression changed again, and he exclaimed, "Water Calamity!"

"Water Calamity is just the beginning, this must be the Five Elements Tribulation!"

From Blood Robe’s voice came a deep sense of seriousness.

Actually, before this, he had a vague idea that the Tao Calamity caused by Jiang Yun was related to his Five Elements Cave Heaven.

Since it’s the Five Elements Tribulation, naturally there are five calamities, and this Water Calamity is just the first one!

As the dark clouds turned into water, Jiang Yun felt a sense of being locked in.

If he turned and ran now, no matter where he fled, this Tao Calamity would follow him like a shadow.

However, Jiang Yun never thought about running away because he needed an opportunity to test his true strength.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, from the water surface formed by the dark clouds, a towering wave of a hundred feet high surged towards Jiang Yun below.

Water above, waves below!

This strange scene made everyone who was witnessing it feel a peculiar sensation in their hearts.

However, apart from feeling strange, most people also felt a hint of disappointment.

Because even though the water wave looked as tall as a hundred feet, most cultivators present were confident that they could withstand it.

The reason they held this belief was because they didn’t know that the water wave was not made of water, but of Tao.

Especially in the eyes of Blood Robe and others, the water wave contained no water at all, only intersecting Tao Marks.

Tao is displayed through Tao Marks.

Like words, Tao Marks are symbols, each containing the meaning of the Great Dao, only understood through intuition.

As Jiang Yun looked at the water wave crashing down towards him, although he didn’t know it was Tao Marks, he felt a powerful force binding his body, rendering him unable to move.

"Within this force, there clearly lies an irresistible will. Could this be the will of the Tao?"

However, Jiang Yun stayed calm and stood still, letting the waves hit him directly.

"Splash!"

As the waves surrounded Jiang Yun’s body, they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Not a single drop of water remained on Jiang Yun’s hair or clothes, as if the earlier scene was just an illusion for everyone.

In fact, the waves did not vanish but instantly merged into Jiang Yun’s body.

The next moment, Jiang Yun felt himself completely immersed in water from the inside out.

Every inch of his skin and bones were completely enveloped by the water.

Though the sensation was uncomfortable, it was also strangely marvelous, leading Jiang Yun to a moment of clarity in his mind.

"Water is ever-changing and versatile, hence it can go anywhere and be anywhere!"

However, soon after, the water inside Jiang Yun’s body suddenly released sharp forces from various parts, like countless sharp needles trying to pierce through Jiang Yun’s body and come out the other side.

The power of a single needle may be insignificant, but when millions of needles pierce out at the same time, even Jiang Yun’s flesh felt waves of stinging pain.

However, Jiang Yun’s eyes shone brighter, "Water, soft and boneless, yet can wear away stone drop by drop, using softness to overcome hardness!"

"Is this the way of water?"

"However, this alone is not enough to hurt me, Jiang Yun! Petrify!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun’s body, which was completely immobile, suddenly emitted a strange light, causing all the muscles in his body to become incredibly solid.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

At the same time, Jiang Yun also heard the sharp water needles, which had just been so sharp, turning back into water and flowing out of his body as they could not pierce through.

"Is this the end?"

Jiang Yun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling disappointed by the lack of power from the Water Calamity.

Before he could finish that thought, the water that turned into dark clouds suddenly stirred, forming towering waves one after another, crashing towards Jiang Yun.

"Bang!"

As the first huge wave slammed heavily into Jiang Yun’s body, a deep, resounding impact echoed through the surroundings.

Just hearing that sound made countless people shiver.

However, Jiang Yun stood still in the same spot, even smiling and saying, "This is getting interesting!"

Jiang Yun’s voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of the second giant wave crashing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Seven consecutive waves, each taller and stronger than the last, with terrifying force, all heavily striking Jiang Yun’s body without any mercy.

The water was raging and churning so much that no one could see what was happening to Jiang Yun. However, after the eighth giant wave crashed, another huge wave rose up from the water turned dark by the storm.

The top of this wave loomed over the land, truly towering. If all went as expected, it should be the final wave of the Water Calamity.

Seeing this massive wave, everyone couldn’t help but gulp nervously.

The sheer size of this wave was frightening. If it hit, it could likely crush even mountains into pieces.

Just as everyone was anxiously worried about Jiang Yun, amidst the mist of water, his clear voice rang out, "Heavenly Earth, open!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun emerged from the mist, a black light shooting out from his body. Within this light, everyone caught a glimpse of a black land merging into Jiang Yun’s body.

In an instant, Jiang Yun’s seemingly fragile body became incredibly strong, like unbreakable stone.

"Crush!"

Without delay, Jiang Yun shouted again like thunder, clenching his fists and fiercely striking towards the oncoming ninth wave.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous sound that shook the earth, the raging waves suddenly paused for a moment.

In the next moment, they exploded with a bang, turning into countless droplets that flowed back into the water in the sky.

Jiang Yun, with a punch, shattered the Water Calamity!

This scene, already incredibly awe-inspiring to onlookers, paled in comparison to the astonishment felt by Blood Robe and the others at that moment.

Because they knew better than anyone else that Jiang Yun had only revealed the first level of the Sky Reaching Realm’s power!

With just the power of the first level of the Sky Reaching Realm, he effortlessly shattered the Water Calamity. Even though this Tao Calamity’s might was not as great as the Tao Calamity they had experienced before, Jiang Yun’s actions were unprecedented!

"Boom!"

At that moment, another deafening sound came from the dark clouds, and in the midst of the noise, the water surface solidified instantaneously, turning into solid and thick earth!

The second trial of the Five Elements Tribulation—Earth Calamity!
