Although Jianwu Palace and Wenzhi Palace were only separated by a street, Qi Tian’s speed was not slow. However, in such a short time, the fourth wave of Tribulation Thunder had already struck down. This time, the number of Tribulation Thunders increased to four, and as they descended, they penetrated heaven and earth, thick as water buckets, striking directly at Qi Tian.

Emperor Jianwu, Huoyang Emperor, and many other princes who were far outside the Eastern Capital City could see this terrifying scene very clearly.

Emperor Jianwu’s face looked as still as water, and nobody could tell whether he was actually worried about Qi Tian. The Huoyang Emperor, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, watched Qi Tian’s tribulation with a complex expression, and said with amazement, “Jianwu, where exactly did your sworn brother come from? How can he be so formidable? He has already endured three consecutive waves of the Heavenly Tribulation as if it were nothing, and now it’s the fourth wave—a simultaneous descent of four Tribulation Thunders! Even I feel terrified just watching; can he withstand it?”

Emperor Jianwu replied indifferently, “Why ask so many questions? If you want to know the outcome, just watch.”

As the four Tribulation Thunders struck down at the same time, Qi Tian felt an immense pressure. He hastened his pace toward Wenzhi Palace, and at the same time, released all of the Transporting Whirlwinds from the black hole in his palm, driving them to meet the four Tribulation Thunders.

When the Transporting Whirlwinds split into four groups to entangle the four Tribulation Thunders, the Heavenly Dao Engine sent a signal to Qi Tian—it had already digested the two Tribulation Thunders from the second wave and was now fully digesting the solitary Tribulation Thunder brought in by the Transporting Whirlwinds during the third wave.

Qi Tian understood instantly. He commanded one group of Transporting Whirlwinds to drag one of the Tribulation Thunders into the black hole in his palm, while the remaining three Tribulation Thunders were led by the Transporting Whirlwinds to strike the ground around him.

Qi Tian was now multitasking, both maintaining his forward flight and controlling the four Tribulation Thunders with the Transporting Whirlwinds. This had already pushed him beyond his limit. He had thought about directing the three Tribulation Thunders to strike the same spot, but the Transporting Whirlwinds could barely manage to prevent the Tribulation Thunders from striking Qi Tian; they could not do anything extra. In the end, the three Tribulation Thunders struck three different locations, and immediately, many halls of Jianwu Palace were reduced to ruins, beyond any possibility of repair.

After dragging the remaining Tribulation Thunder into the black hole in his palm, Qi Tian once again increased his speed. He hoped to reach Wenzhi Palace before the Tribulation Thunder could descend. However, how could the Heavenly Tribulation let Qi Tian have his way? Just as he had flown past the walls of Jianwu Palace, the fifth wave, consisting of five Tribulation Thunders, burst forth from five different points within the Tribulation Clouds and struck at Qi Tian.

Although it was only one more Tribulation Thunder than the last time, this represented the full-force strike of a cultivator at the Half-step Nascent Soul level. Qi Tian had already barely managed to handle four Tribulation Thunders at once; now with an additional one, especially such a powerful one, if he continued to use the same method as before, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.

With lightning-fast thoughts, Qi Tian sought to change his strategy. He quickly figured out a risky method that required him to gamble his own safety. Under normal circumstances, Qi Tian would definitely not choose this plan, but now, there was no room for him to think too much, let alone to reject the idea.

Qi Tian divided all of the Transporting Whirlwinds into two groups, one of which consisted of only two Transporting Whirlwinds, and the rest formed the other group. The former group soared upwards to meet the descending Tribulation Thunders, while the latter circled close above Qi Tian’s head.

Just as Qi Tian had prepared, the fifth wave of five Tribulation Thunders emerged from the Tribulation Clouds and struck at Qi Tian all at once. The five Tribulation Thunders, though coming from different directions, had near-identical speeds and showed no differences. This matched what Qi Tian had observed earlier, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The method he had formulated to neutralize the Tribulation Thunders should be effective—it all depended on whether the Transporting Whirlwinds were up to the task.

As the fifth wave of Tribulation Thunders descended, the first group of two Transporting Whirlwinds, like two mellivora capensis responding to the scent of wind, lunged at one of the five Tribulation Thunders. The speed of the Tribulation Thunder was fast and difficult to capture, but it had a weakness: once it chose its path, it would only travel in a straight line and not turn. The Transporting Whirlwinds, with several experiences of capturing Tribulation Thunders under their belt, successfully captured this one and desperately pulled it, slowing down its speed in an attempt to separate it from the other four.

With the pulling of the Transporting Whirlwinds, this Tribulation Thunder indeed slowed down significantly and was about a hundred meters away from the others. At a glance, the distance seemed substantial, but considering the speed of the Tribulation Thunders, crossing this segment might not even take half a second.

However, Qi Tian had never expected the Transporting Whirlwinds to significantly reduce the speed of the Tribulation Thunders. The fact that they could create a gap of about a hundred meters had already far surpassed his expectations. He focused on the second group of Transporting Whirlwinds, directing them to form a tight protective web over his head, waiting for the other four Tribulation Thunders to fall.

These Tribulation Thunders were powerfully destructive and very fast, but they could not turn. This gave Qi Tian the opportunity to set up barriers on their paths. If it was only up to the remaining Transporting Whirlwinds to capture these four Tribulation Thunders, the difficulty would be extraordinary. But by accurately predicting their inevitable paths and utilizing the consistency of their speeds, the Transporting Whirlwinds, united, had the potential to simultaneously capture the remaining Tribulation Thunders.
