Chapter 526: The Dead Friend Doesn’t Die, The Taoist Does

The calamity came, even more terrifying and dazzling!

Li Hui immediately reached out to Tan Tiandi and the others, thinking, "The dead friend doesn’t die, but the Taoist does." Right now, he had no other options and could only replenish his talisman power nearby.

“Bastard!” Tie Hu roared, but the exhaustion was too great to block the time Dragon Claw’s grasp.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…” Amidst the sounds, a flurry of light shot away. Tie Hu and Tan Tiandi were still able to defend against the dragon claws, but Dai Qingtian, Jian Wujie, and Lin Qingtian could not hold on.

Black patterns had appeared on the back of the silver snake bracelet, and Li Hui quickly activated the Small Reincarnation Talisman, Kunpeng Decree, Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, and boosted Prime Minister Turtle’s power, instantly dispersing a wave of talisman power to prepare for the oncoming calamity.

“Block it!”

Li Hui and Yang Jiuzhen managed to hold firm, but Dai Qingtian and Lin Qingtian faced great misfortune. Tan Tiandi and Tie Hu were too preoccupied to help them, so under the calamity, they suffered grievous injuries, blood flying everywhere.

At that moment, Dai Qingtian’s body burst forth with vast crimson clouds, seemingly ready to pull her away, but the power of the calamity was at its most terrifying moment.

Suddenly, a furious roar resounded: “Who dares to harm my granddaughter? Heavenly tribulation? No, this is the Tribulation of the Heavens!”

“Boom, boom, boom…” Under the calamity, it didn’t matter whose granddaughter she was; the explosions were ferocious! Dai Qingtian’s body continued to shoot out radiant light, allowing those nearby to catch their breath just barely.

Lin Qingtian was no easy target either. Just as the heavenly tribulation was about to annihilate him, a wisp of green smoke rose from his body, forming a dim bluish temple. The deity’s statue on the altar suddenly opened its eyes, casting light across the area as if spanning vast distances.

At this moment, Jian Wujie bellowed loudly, quickly shrinking his Legal form to merge back with him, transforming him into a frail and elderly state, yet his sharp aura soared, creating an impressive presence in front and behind him.

“Wow! This is incredible!” Li Hui silently marveled, but the calamity was too strong. Even with Dai Qingtian, Lin Qingtian, and Jian Wujie revealing their true forms simultaneously, they were unable to escape this place for now.

“What caused the Tribulation of the Heavens? What is that…” Dai Qingtian’s voice trailed off as black thunderfire descended, incinerating the vast crimson clouds into a wisp of fly ash.

It was so ruthless, so cruel!

Li Hui’s heart raced as he thought, "This is madness!" Continuing to follow the mantra of "the dead friend doesn’t die, but the Taoist does," he reached out his claws amidst the tribulation thunder. Tie Hu shouted outrageously, and Tan Tiandi’s face darkened with anger.

“Seize, seize, seize!” The silver snake bracelet merrily consumed the treasures and spirit treasures that the five had sacrificed; they were all wealthy individuals.

Li Hui managed to barely hold on with the extra talisman power while the Jade Turtle opened its mouth, pulling tremendous dark energy from who knows where, swiftly constructing a black prison. This was no fog prison; it was a square tower built of black crystal.

The mountains shifted colors, and the heavens roared with fury. How audacious was that old turtle to resist?

The calamity seemed to retaliate in a contest, the rumbling intensifying again as terrifying beams of light appeared in the sky, and thousands of giant stones from the constellations plummeted down with terrifying heat.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”

Dai Qingtian’s body turned to ash, and a furious roar erupted from the radiant clouds: “All the juniors here will pay for my granddaughter’s death; wait for it!”

Wait for what? Even that roar disintegrated into nothingness. The temple above Lin Qingtian had already shattered, and the deity statue’s eyes were destroyed, leaving only a sigh of collapse.

“Wujie, unrestrained and unyielding!” Jian Wujie’s acupoints released terrifying sword aura that spun around, forcing open a path. He sped into it, escaping by the skin of his teeth, only to suddenly encounter a silver light the size of a walnut.

“With a bang,” the silver light exploded with tremendous force, dragging him back as hundreds of time Dragon Claws surrounded him and struck fiercely, leading to a very grim situation!

Jian Wujie let out a howl of unwillingness, and he swung his sword aura to shatter the oncoming giant stones from the skies, but heavenly fire rained down.

The silver light returned rapidly, revealing the silver snake with a hairpin-like shape, which was Li Hui’s Legal form. Fortunately, it was small yet sturdier than a spirit treasure.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The calamity was so terrifying that it slaughtered everyone around the Jade Turtle, rendering the destruction beyond description.

Li Hui watched his talisman power swiftly dwindle, unsure whether to use his last remaining and most powerful golden needle to summon the self from the early days of the future.

The black crystal tower supported by the Jade Turtle crumbled, and Jian Wujie followed in Dai Qingtian and Lin Qingtian’s footsteps; even if he reincarnated once, today would be his end.

Tie Hu and Tan Tiandi could no longer hold out, and Li Hui’s repeated disturbances led to their spirit treasures becoming heavily damaged. It truly was a disaster falling upon disaster!

The deaths of Dai Qingtian and the others were incomprehensible under such calamity, leaving no souls behind. If the two of them did not act decisively, they would be stuck in this situation.

“Let’s go all out!” Tie Hu hurled out dozens of treasures and spirit treasures, putting in all his resources, releasing several artifacts and a jade bi rich in water essence to barely fend off the various calamities and calamity powers. With a hand motion, he unleashed the third crossbow bolt today.

This wasn’t a deadly arrow, but a self-rescue arrow, transforming into a wisp of mystical light that took him away. However, just as Tie Hu was about to follow the arrow’s light, Tan Tiandi suddenly switched places with him, leaving behind a voice: “Sorry, brother. I used up my life-saving item in the Yuan Chen Heavenly Mansion and can only borrow your strength to leave. Blame it on Li!”

“No!” Tie Hu roared, hurriedly raising his arm to block the descending calamity fire. Li Hui sighed and said, “This truly is the dead friend doesn’t die, but the Taoist does! It’s as ruthless as they come; I’ll battle Old Li for a thousand years in the future.”

Thunderfire exploded without end. Half of Tie Hu’s body sank inward, howling towards the sky in pain as his body began to convulse violently.

A howling wind rose, centered around Tie Hu.

This guy’s tower-like form suddenly shrank to that of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy, and a pair of wings sprouted from his back. The sounds of wind and thunder pounded his ears as his head transformed into that of a colorful bird, speeding up time to chase after the past.

“So, it’s a bird monster!” Li Hui’s eyes widened in shock today. The cultivators from other continents were indeed formidable, and unless this sudden heavenly tribulation caused widespread devastation, it wouldn’t be easy to ultimately finish off Dai Qingtian and the others.

The bird monster’s speed was incredibly fast, but the calamity was extraordinary as well, causing it to suffer heavy injuries in its forced charge. As its figure plummeted from the sky, it was about to turn into a turkey, continuously wailing to resist the calamity, clearly unable to hold out much longer.

“Senior brother, are we going to die here?” Yang Jiuzhen fought desperately against the heavenly tribulation and used the Spirit treasure Round Mirror to face the trials together, forming a mystical bond. Moreover, her growth rate was rapid, and she had already established the boundary with great flexibility, revealing her full potential to unleash the might of her Dao Body. However, this was all she could do, and as her true energy was continuously drained, she could last at most thirty more breaths.

“You can do it! Buy me fifty breaths!” Li Hui looked up at the sky, sending the Jade Turtle into the Kunpeng Decree. He formed seals and said, “Fuse!”
