Chapter 531: The Ten Calamity Zone, The Terrifying Thunder Calamity
Ye Tian soared towards the Nine Tribulations Pagoda and promptly entered it.
Upon entering the Nine Tribulations Pagoda, Ye Tian encountered the tower’s spirit.
The spirit of the Nine Tribulations Pagoda took the form of an elderly man, his eyes brimming with endless vicissitudes, and every move he made was filled with the power of the tower.
Within the Nine Tribulations Pagoda, this spirit possessed unrivaled power.
“Young man, having braved the nine tribulations, you can obtain one of the top inheritances from the cosmic heaven-grade forces, or a top-tier Supreme Treasure!” the spirit said.
“What are the top inheritances of the heaven-grade forces, and what are the top-tier Supreme Treasures? Could Senior Spirit explain a bit?” Ye Tian asked curiously.
His knowledge of the cultivation practices from the previous universe was very limited. Although he had the spirit of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda, it only knew about the affairs of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda and nothing else.
As for the higher-ups of humanity, they definitely knew much more, but they couldn’t possibly disclose everything to Ye Tian.
The Nine Tribulations Pagoda’s spirit was quite amiable and explained directly, “In the previous cosmic era, the forces were divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, with the Heaven tier being the highest among these four. Above the Heaven tier, there exists another level of forces, the Dao tier! There aren’t many Dao tier forces, and they are mostly transcendental.
Heaven tier forces are already quite powerful, and the top inheritances of the heaven-tier forces are of great value.As for the top-tier Supreme Treasures, that’s a level among the Supreme Treasures.
Above the Origin Artifacts are the Supreme Treasures, divided into ordinary Supreme Treasures, top-tier Supreme Treasures, and the strongest Supreme Treasures, each with three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced.
If you choose a top-tier Supreme Treasure, you can only select an ordinary level top-tier Supreme Treasure!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian understood immediately. It turned out that Supreme Treasures were a level above Origin Artifacts. Many precious items within humanity were described as Supreme Treasures because the classification of these items was unknown. But in reality, among the higher-ups, Supreme Treasures weren’t referred to casually, as they were beyond the reach of ordinary warriors and represented a level above Origin Artifacts.
Origin Artifacts were already incredibly precious to Ye Tian, let alone Supreme Treasures.
“Ordinary Supreme Treasures, top-tier Supreme Treasures, the strongest Supreme Treasures.
The spirit of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda said it was among the strongest Supreme Treasures. Before, I didn’t understand the value of the strongest Supreme Treasures, but now I do.”
Ye Tian thought about the preciousness of the strongest Supreme Treasures and became very excited.
At this moment, he was hesitant.
To choose a top-tier Supreme Treasure or to choose a top-tier inheritance.
He soon made a decision.
“I choose a top-tier inheritance!” Ye Tian’s reason for choosing the inheritance was simple. The top-tier Supreme Treasure was useless to him; he already had the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda, one of the strongest Supreme Treasures, and possibly a mysterious black lotus, which might also be among the strongest Supreme Treasures.
So, a mere top-tier Supreme Treasure was completely useless. Even if it were given to humanity, its value would not compare to an inheritance. What humanity needed to grow stronger was not treasures but inheritances.
Inheritances were the most important for a race.
“Very well!” With a wave of his hand, the spirit of the Nine Tribulations Pagoda made several inheritance orbs appear, each orb containing an inheritance pearl.
“Please choose one!” the spirit said.
The Three Disasters Pavilion also made Ye Tian choose randomly. Before choosing, he had no idea what the reward would be.
If he knew, Ye Tian would definitely choose the best inheritance, but now he could only pick one at random.
Whoosh! Ye Tian grabbed an orb and obtained an inheritance pearl.
Immediately, his consciousness entered the inheritance pearl.
Soon, he learned what this top-tier inheritance was.
“The Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Three Thousand Sword Techniques!”
He glanced over it briefly. This inheritance was the Three Thousand Sword Techniques of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, a heaven-tier force, which included three thousand sword techniques from low to high level and countless insights into the sword techniques, essentially a complete sword dao of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Such an inheritance was very valuable, especially for sword cultivators, as it was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.
Ye Tian stored the inheritance pearl and left the Nine Tribulations Pagoda.
After the Nine Tribulations came the Ten Calamities! These Ten Calamities were Thunder Calamities! One could say that the Ten Calamities were the most direct, but their difficulty was unparalleled. The first calamity had just one thunder calamity, the second had two, and the third had four.
By this progression, the tenth calamity would have 512, and each of these 512 thunder calamities was far stronger than the first.
To overcome these Ten Calamities, one couldn’t rely on luck but on genuine strength.
If one’s strength was not strong enough, they wouldn’t even get past the first thunder calamity and would be instantly reduced to ashes.
Whoosh! Ye Tian flew into the first calamity zone.T/his chapter is updat/𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.c/o/m
Boom! In the high sky, thunder clouds gathered.
Soon, the first thunder calamity struck down.
This first thunder calamity was as thick as an arm, containing terrifying laws of thunder and destructive power.
This strike was comparable to the full-force strike of a first-tier Eternal Prince.
A typical first-tier Eternal Prince, although capable of surviving the first thunder calamity, would still be injured.
For Ye Tian, the first thunder calamity was negligible.
He didn’t dodge at all and took the full brunt of the first thunder calamity.
Boom! The first thunder calamity struck Ye Tian, and the released power of the thunder calamity blasted a large crater around him, scorching the earth black.
However, this was the Supreme Mountain, and even if there was significant damage, the area would soon return to its original state.
Having survived the first thunder calamity, Ye Tian felt only a slight numbness on his body and proceeded towards the second calamity zone without much trouble.
Ye Tian quickly arrived at the second calamity zone, where the thunder calamity clouds had also formed, unleashing the first thunder calamity.
The first thunder calamity in the second calamity zone was much more powerful than the thunder calamity in the first calamity zone.
With a loud boom, this thunder calamity struck Ye Tian, causing his entire body to ache.
Then, the second thunder calamity of the second calamity zone descended.
The second thunder calamity was even more powerful than the first, striking Ye Tian and forcing him to take a step back.
Afterward, Ye Tian successively passed through the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth calamity zones.
Finally, Ye Tian arrived at the seventh calamity zone.
In the seventh calamity zone, Ye Tian had to endure the onslaught of 64 thunder calamities.
Even Ye Tian felt the pressure at this point.
Ye Tian not only activated various defensive talents but also used high-level chaotic divine techniques like the Primordial Scales Armor.
He also used the Primordial Vines, turning them into a giant vine ball to weaken the power of the thunder calamities through the vines’ barrier.
Additionally, Ye Tian utilized his spatial divine abilities.
The Thousand Layer Barrier transformed into ten thousand layers, attempting to block the thunder calamities.
Boom, boom, boom! Under the bombardment of one thunder calamity after another, the Thousand Layer Barrier shattered.
The thunder calamities struck Ye Tian but were blocked by various defensive measures.
Although he was injured in the end, Ye Tian successfully survived the onslaught of 64 thunder calamities.
The minor injuries on his body quickly healed under the effect of various healing talents.
Next, the eighth and ninth calamities were even more terrifying. Even Ye Tian had to be extremely cautious, and as for the tenth calamity, it was even more daunting. Ye Tian didn’t have complete confidence.
After all, the seventh calamity had injured Ye Tian, and the power of the thunder calamities in the tenth calamity was many times more terrifying than the seventh, with as many as 512 thunder calamities. The sheer number made it easy to exhaust one’s strength and die even with the capability to withstand the power of the thunder calamities.
Stepping into the eighth calamity zone.
Boom! In the void, an unimaginable cluster of thunder calamity clouds appeared, covering the sky.
In an instant, the first thunder calamity struck down.
This thunder calamity was about ten meters thick, containing the strongest laws of thunder. If it were in the outside world, this single thunder calamity could destroy the space of an entire planetary system.
At this point, Ye Tian no longer just endured the attacks; he needed to counterattack.
“Heavenly Moon Saber, slash!”
Ye Tian slashed towards the thunder calamity column with his saber.
With a loud boom, the saber qi collided with the power of the thunder calamity. The first thunder calamity was forcibly dispersed by Ye Tian’s slash, and the residual power of the thunder calamity didn’t harm Ye Tian at all.
However, this was just the first of 128 thunder calamities, not even enough to be considered an appetizer.
The second thunder calamity! The third thunder calamity! The fourth thunder calamity! One after another, the thunder calamities struck down, and Ye Tian continuously struck back at these thunder calamities. However, he couldn’t possibly keep fighting against these thunder calamities forever. If he expended too much energy and physical strength, it would be difficult to withstand the later thunder calamities.
Therefore, Ye Tian occasionally rested, secretly recovering his strength and only defending against the power of the thunder calamities.
In such a state, Ye Tian was continuously injured.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian finally survived the eighth calamity, although he spent a lot of energy and was not lightly injured. However, he quickly recovered under various healing talents and arrived at the ninth calamity in peak condition.
The ninth calamity was definitely more terrifying than the eighth, and Ye Tian was extremely cautious.
But having come this far, there was no turning back.
Boom, boom, boom! Thunder calamities struck down in an orderly fashion, and Ye Tian fought with all his might against these thunder calamities.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Mountain once again projected the situation, attracting the attention of many princes below the Supreme Mountain. Ye Tian’s progress had been closely watched by these princes, and even the princes of the God and Demon races took notice of Ye Tian.
After all, Ye Tian’s strength had been recognized by everyone, possessing the power of an invincible level Eternal Prince, which was far beyond that of a typical first-tier Eternal Prince.
In this ruin world, there were only three invincible level Eternal Princes.
And currently, Ye Tian was the most dazzling among them, surpassing both Prince Xuefeng and Prince Tianxuan in terms of speed.
“Look, the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws has entered the ninth calamity zone!” shouted one of the princes.
