Chapter 1508: Chapter 77 Tragedy! Brought It Upon Oneself_3

He himself was violently shaken internally, spitting blood frantically. Even the hair crown on his head had been knocked off, his hair disheveled, looking utterly wretched.

This was the Eighth Supernatural Thunder of the Divine Skill Tribulation. Even newly ascended Divine Realm Powerhouses, if unprepared, could be injured by its strike. How could a Purple Abode Realm powerhouse easily block it?

Yun Tai’an was right beside him. Although he wasn’t struck directly by the heavenly lightning, the blast wave from the impact still sent him flying.

Tumbling to the ground, his injuries worsened significantly.

With great difficulty, he coughed up blood, his eyes bulging wider than brass bells, reflecting a mixture of shock and grievance.

Because at the moment the heavenly lightning struck Wei Qingyun’s head, he realized that the Eighth Heaven Thunder was aimed at Wei Qingyun from the start—Yun Tai’an was merely implicated by accident.

However, Yun Tai’an couldn’t complain much about it, after all Wei Qingyun had come to help him with good intentions.

Neither expected that Yun Tai’an, who had been dogged by six successive heavenly thunders, would suddenly experience a stroke of luck.

"Brother Wei, are you alright?" Even in his own plight, Yun Tai’an showed concern for Wei Qingyun, demonstrating his cool exterior but warm heart, making him truly a brother of honor.

"I’m not..."

Wei Qingyun had just barely caught his breath, coughing up blood and about to speak.

However, just as he uttered the first two words, a faint crack could suddenly be heard by his ear, as if something had shattered.

Not good, it’s the Fertility Jade Pendant!

Wei Qingyun’s scalp tingled, his hair standing on end as a dread climbed up to his Spiritual Platform.

Under normal circumstances, the Fertility Jade Pendant wouldn’t be so fragile that it could be broken by a smash, even if one infused their fingertips with Mysterious Energy. Clearly, the heavenly lightning had dealt it a massive blow.

Affected by the heavenly lightning, even the Divine Artiface Shield was almost unable to hold up, let alone the Fertility Jade Pendant?

One after another, soft clicking sounds ensued, followed by a loud ’bang’, as the Fertility Jade Pendant exploded on the spot.

With the protective inscriptions on the Fertility Jade Pendant gone, the folded spirit soil space it had confined rapidly unfolded in the normal space.

A deluge of Spirit soil poured down like a sandstorm, and the restrictive formation that the Wei Family had built with great effort and expense disintegrated in an instant.

"Ah yah yah!"

Accompanied by an angry, childish shriek, a small sapling burst forth from the rupture, hitting the ground with a smack.

Its slender trunk twisted and turned, its fine roots barely managing to support its body; its willow-like, slender leaves shook, and the branches were adorned with remnants of broken seals, looking both ludicrous and pitiable.

Clearly, this was the Tree of Fortune.

This is trouble!

Wei Qingyun’s pupils contracted, his scalp numbing even further, as he immediately attempted to retreat.

But the lightning strike had left him heavily injured, and his movement was slow by half a beat. It was in this brief pause that the Tree of Fortune ’roared’ furiously and lunged at him.

The sapling was hardly stable on its own and was now exerting all its might as if its life depended on it.

It began with a move of Old Tree Entwining Roots, tangling Wei Qingyun with its roots. Then branches danced, whipping at Wei Qingyun’s head frantically.

"Whack whack whack!"

As it continued to whip, it made "Yah woo yah woo" noises, seemingly venting its rage over being confined by the Wei Family and the occasional draining of its Innate Power Source.

But as merely a Level Five Tree of Fortune, especially after having its power source drawn, and still in a weakened state, these whippings couldn’t inflict substantial harm on Wei Qingyun, but only added to his misery.

It was an insult more than anything.

"Wei..."

Yun Tai’an was dumbfounded, struggling to comprehend what had just happened.

As he struggled with the idea of going to help, the Sword Array Codex flapped over to him.

Both Jian Ji and Zhen Ji looked stunned and said, "This sapling, it seems to be the legendary Tree of Fortune. Yes, that’s right, it’s the Tree of Fortune; it can’t be wrong."

The Tree of Fortune?

Yun Tai’an’s face, full of concern, stiffened slightly, then slowly turned an icy blue.

In a daze, he realized why the lightning that clearly struck at Wei Qingyun always took a turn to strike him instead.

Although he was straightforward and valued loyalty, it didn’t mean he was a fool. Having been raised in the Chaoyang King Mansion, he was devoted to the Sword Dao but not devoid of knowledge. He swiftly understood what was happening.

"Damn you, Wei Qingyun!" Yun Tai’an was so angry that his face flushed with blood, his whole body trembling, barely suppressing another burst of blood vomit, "You scoundrel, you must have created this Divine Skill Tribulation Cloud stealthily! You are too bloody cunning!"

What infuriated Yun Tai’an even more was that Wei Qingyun had even tried to play with and deceive his feelings!

This was intolerable!
