Chapter 1505: Chapter 76: Tree of Fortune VS Son of Fortune_4

In the early times of the Human race’s Cultivation, often out of ten who faced tribulation, not even one would survive.

However, as the Cultivation system continuously improved, as Cultivation techniques grew increasingly powerful, and with the accumulation of experiences, Dan medicines, treasures, and talismans etc. specifically against the Heavenly Tribulation, contemporary Cultivators no longer see the Divine Human Tribulation, Purple Adobe Tribulation, and even the Divine Skill Tribulation as significant barriers.

With sufficient preparation, most people can successfully transcend it.

But the premise is that one’s Cultivation base has to reach the Peak of the Purple Abode Realm. If the Cultivation level is insufficient and the preparation inadequate, the Divine Skill Tribulation becomes a death knell!

Watching the Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud in the sky growing more imposing, and the sight of everyone’s dismay, Wei Qingyun’s mouth curled into a triumphant smirk.

The Jade Talisman he just crushed was a rather rare and special type—a Deceiving Heaven and Attracting Thunder Talisman, characterized by its ability to deceive the Heavenly Dao and call upon an indiscriminate attack by the Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud.

This unique kind of Jade Talisman was once quite popular during the Divine Martial Dynasty Era, used on the battlefield to take down the enemy in a situation of disadvantage and potentially, by a stroke of good luck, escape from it and reverse the situation.

Because it is greatly based on one’s luck, it has also earned the nickname "Life-Gambling Talisman".

At this moment, having just absorbed a part of the innate talent from the sapling of the Tree of Fortune, he possessed part of the powers of the Tree of Fortune for a limited time, while his own fortunate destiny was climbing incessantly under the effect of that innate ability.

In such a situation, relying on luck, who could gamble better than Wei Qingyun?

Even if he was "unfortunately" targeted by a bolt of heavenly lightning, with his strength, he would be able to withstand it.

As for Wang Anye, who was immersed in comprehending the Sword Dao, should he be hit by a bolt, he would be in deep trouble. By then, not to mention leaving any sword marks, even surviving would be doubtful.

And if he was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation, what does it have to do with Wei Qingyun?

Under the terrifying pressure of the tribulation lightning, Jiqianqian, who was the weakest and only at the Celestial Human Realm, was already pale as death, struggling tremendously.

"Qianqian, we can’t handle this Tribulation Cloud," Ji Yanxiu was also pale, his heart filled with overwhelming fear, and he shouted almost instinctively, "Let’s withdraw quickly!"

Having said that, he was the first to take action, emitting a trailing afterimage, turning into a rainbow light, and escaping at high speed.

He was merely at the Early Stage of the Purple Abode Realm, how could he possibly withstand the Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud?

Hearing this, Jiqianqian hesitated for a moment but did not leave. Instead, she yelled towards Wang Anye, trying to awaken him, "Young Master Anye, stop your comprehension of the sword for now and wake up quickly!"

However, Wang Anye was deep in his Sword Dao enlightenment at that moment, and even with Jiqianqian’s calling, he didn’t budge at all, as if he had heard nothing.

In the midst of this chaos, the Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud in the sky had already condensed the first bolt of Heavenly Lightning.

"Boom!" The first bolt of Heavenly Lightning struck down like a clap of thunder towards the escaping Ji Yanxiu.

Ji Yanxiu’s face changed drastically, hurriedly activating his Purple Abode Treasure to block it.

"Bang!"

A terrifying burst of energy hit Ji Yanxiu, smashing him along with his Purple Abode Treasure into the ground, creating a large crater in the thick rock, and it was evident that he was having more exhalations than inhalations.

"Grandpa Yanxiu..."

Jiqianqian’s face changed drastically, and just as she was about to rush to his aid, she was stopped by Yun Tai’an.

"Miss Ji, do not act rashly. That young man is half-dead now, most likely beyond saving, and the Heavenly Tribulation will no longer pursue him. If you stay away, he might still have a sliver of a chance. If you insist on joining him and draw another bolt of lightning, then both of you risk certain death," Yun Tai’an said.

As a member of the Imperial Household, Yun Tai’an had much more understanding of the Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud than those from Prominent Families. In such a situation, indeed, the more people cluster together, the more likely they are to attract the tribulation lightning.

"That’s right, under the current circumstances, we can’t escape," even Wei Qingyun presented a thoughtful demeanor, "Why don’t we all spread out a bit. There are still eight bolts of lightning, averaging two per person. As for whom they hit, it all depends on our luck. Miss Ji, if you’re lucky enough, maybe not a single one will hit you."

While speaking, the second bolt of Heavenly Lightning was almost ready to strike.

It hadn’t even fallen yet, but one could already feel that the terror contained within its lightning was even more formidable than the first bolt.

Such is the nature of the Heavenly Tribulation; once the tribulation lightning begins to brew, each subsequent bolt is naturally more powerful than the last.

The Divine Skill Tribulation consists of nine bolts, and to withstand them all, the difficulty increases with each strike.

"Not good, Young Master Anye is in danger," Ji Qianqian bit her silver teeth, her delicate figure drawing an arc in the air as she landed in front of the Sword Comprehension Stele, reaching out to pull Wang Anye, who was immersed in comprehending the sword.

The scope of the Tribulation Cloud was vast; indeed, even if Wang Anye came to his senses, he would most likely not be able to escape.

But no matter what, as long as he wakes up, there’s a chance of survival. If Wang Anye continues to sit unprotected as he is now, and if the tribulation lightning strikes him, then he would truly be doomed.

Ji Qianqian thought to herself that this was all she could do to help him. Once he awakens, whether or not he can withstand the heavenly lightning will depend on his own abilities.

"Boom!"

A streak of silver lightning slid across the sky, heading straight for the two of them.

The dreadful might engulfed them, and Ji Qianqian’s face suddenly changed drastically, an ominous feeling of imminent disaster overwhelming her, sending a chill through her heart.

All was lost, all was lost; not only was she doomed, but she feared she would drag Young Master Anye down with her.

Her body trembling lightly, waves of despair swelled in her eyes.

However.

In that split second.

The one engulfed in despair felt a jolt run through her body as a strong hand grasped her arm and swiftly pulled her along.

Before she could even react, she had already tumbled into Wang Anye’s embrace.

She felt her cheek press against a firm chest, her body secured by a strong arm; even through the fabric, she could sense the beating of his heart. This feeling was incredibly appropriate, warm, and secure.

For a moment, she was stunned, completely forgetting the lightning tribulation above her head.

Meanwhile.

In the sky, a scattering of Tribulation Clouds drifted by, just in time to block the path of the lightning bolt.

The lightning paused slightly, then suddenly turned a corner and headed toward another direction, striking at Yun Tai’an.

"I... the hell... how does this lightning even..." Yun Tai’an’s eyes were nearly bulging out, almost instinctively wanting to curse loudly.

However, he wasn’t given the chance to do so.

He had only spoken halfway when the piercing lightning already struck the Divine Treasure Shield he was using to protect himself, as well as the umbrella-shaped Energy Shield covering him.

"Boom!"

In the roar, the Energy Shield was instantaneously shattered, and Yun Tai’an was sent flying backward by the terrible impact, with fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

It was only then that the rest of the sentence slowly forced its way out from between his clenched teeth: "...and it friggin’ turns corners?"

Having been hit by a bolt of heavenly lightning, Yun Tai’an now looked pale and utterly miserable.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t care less about his own state; instead, he was looking at Wang Anye, still sitting calmly in the distance, and Ji Qianqian in his embrace, with a conflicted gaze and a perplexed expression, utterly baffled.
