Chapter 0921: Devouring Heavenly Might

Chapter 0921 Consuming Heavenly Might

Old Feitian merely sensed his heavenly tribulation approaching but did not know the exact timing.

However, if he didn’t suppress his power’s aura, he could quickly draw the tribulation to him.

Qin Yun watched from afar when suddenly, the sky churned with wind and clouds.

In no time, a massive bank of churning dark clouds gathered in the sky, casting the earth into darkness!

BOOM! Lightning split the sky as thunder roared, like the end of the world!

"The tribulation clouds have appeared!" Qin Yun suddenly felt an overwhelming heavenly might—the crushing pressure of the heavenly tribulation.

Over Old Feitian's location, dense Tribulation Lightning descended, flooding the area with blinding light!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder shook heaven and earth, and streaks of lightning, like a swarm of electric serpents, struck Old Feitian, releasing torrents of violent heavenly might.

When Qin Yun had watched Lan Suyao undergo her tribulation before, the feeling hadn't been as sharp because Jian Shitian had been beside him, shielding him with his energy and blocking much of the violent aura.

But now, it was as if he were standing right in the tribulation himself, experiencing the overwhelming force of heavenly might firsthand!

"The power of this Tribulation Lightning far surpasses what Xian Rujing could unleash with her Heavenly Tribulation Divine Arts!" Qin Yun thought in awe.

"Of course! The Tribulation Lightning you're witnessing now could turn a Half-Immortal to dust!" Ling Yuner said. "Xiao Yun, this is the true power of heavenly might. If you master that Heavenly Dao Art, you could wield this kind of overwhelming power!"

Qin Yun frowned. "Can I really master it? Even Sister Qi Rou and Sister Yao Fang, both mighty Celestial Kings, couldn’t grasp even a hint of it!"

"Xiao Yun, don’t sell yourself short. You’re extraordinary! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have cultivated a stunningly beautiful and genius Dao Spirit like yours truly!" Ling Yuner chuckled. "Give it a shot—focus on it!"

"How should I meditate?" Qin Yun had no clue. Watching Old Feitian engulfed in Tribulation Lightning sent chills down his spine.

Old Feitian howled and shouted, brandishing his Purple Star Celestial Shield to deflect the Tribulation Lightning raining down on him.

Without the Purple Star Celestial Shield, he would have long been reduced to ashes.

Even so, Old Feitian’s face was twisted with fear, his shouts a desperate attempt to steel himself. Though the shield blocked the lightning, the shockwaves from the strikes still wounded him, ripping his body apart with horrific wounds.

"Xiao Yun, you need to enter a state where the heavenly might can’t shake you, yet you can quietly perceive its imposing force," Ling Yuner advised. "Then, try chanting the incantations of the Heavenly Dao Art and see if any insights arise."

"After all, it’s just a try—what’s the worst that could happen?"

Qin Yun descended to the ground, sat on a large rock, and closed his eyes, following Ling Yuner’s instructions.

Old Feitian’s tribulation would drag on for some time.

Yet Qin Yun was worried—not only about Old Feitian failing but also about potential intruders.

A Half-Immortal tribulation of such magnitude would surely alert anyone nearby.

Taking deep breaths, Qin Yun grounded himself in the storm.

Before long, he was no longer disturbed by the heavenly might. Previously, he had felt some fear toward its imposing force.

Now, he could calmly perceive the power birthed from the laws of the great Dao.

After entering this state, Qin Yun carefully sensed the Heavenly Might Dao Art while muttering its incantation in his heart.

Time passed, and he seemed to glimpse a thread of understanding, yet the breakthrough remained just out of reach.

It felt like drowning, barely spotting a lifeline but unable to grasp it no matter how hard he tried.

Qin Yun clearly realized that if he wanted to master the Heavenly Might Dao Art, he must harness the heavenly might's core.

"Yun'er, use the Dark Sun's devouring power to absorb the heavenly might!" Qin Yun suddenly said.

"On it!" Ling Yuner understood immediately.

The world was now enveloped in rolling waves of heavenly pressure.

Ling Yuner could also clearly sense this imposing force. Unafraid, she controlled the Dark Sun, releasing its devouring force.

Dark martial souls could cultivate their own Divine Arts.

The Dark Sun's Divine Art was Devour!

And this Divine Art was under Ling Yuner's control. As a Dao Spirit, she knew how to wield the Dark Sun's might.

Without Ling Yuner's guidance, if Qin Yun were to recklessly use the Dark Sun's power in a maddened state, it would be self-destruction.

Ling Yuner cautiously siphoned the intangible force, channeling it into the Dark Sun.

This allowed Qin Yun to delve deeper into understanding the structure of the heavenly might.

"I might actually be able to master the Heavenly Might Dao Art!" Qin Yun felt as if he had suddenly seized something—now, it seemed only a step away from mastering it.

Old Feitian's injuries grew increasingly severe, but he could still stand and shout, meaning he could hold out a while longer.

If he could successfully weather this heavenly trial, he would live for a long time.

And Qin Yun, by witnessing Old Feitian's tribulation, gained direct insight into the heavenly might's power.

As Qin Yun absorbed more and more of the heavenly might, unbeknownst to him, the dark clouds above his head seethed violently.

"Xiao Yun, you're in trouble!" Ling Yuner suddenly cried out in alarm. "The heavenly tribulation has marked you as its target!"

"What?" Qin Yun's eyes snapped open, only to see the black clouds above swirling wildly, gathering terrifying Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.

Qin Yun's heart seized by terror. He quickly took out the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and dove under its protection.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From the vortex above Qin Yun, an enormous bolt of lightning—far more powerful than Old Feitian's—descended.

The colossal lightning, like a mile-wide column of raw power, violently struck the earth.

The small Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was instantly swallowed whole!

The earth trembled violently.

The massive lightning bolt plunged into the ground, then exploded outward in all directions.

The land within a radius of ten thousand meters cracked rapidly, fissures filled with blinding lightning spreading everywhere.

In an instant, the entire earth seemed to have been torn asunder!

Old Feitian was just as clueless, gaping in shock at the scene. He jolted when he realized he was suspended in mid-air, as the Tribulation Lightning had stopped attacking him and was now barraging that spot nonstop instead.

Qin Yun, huddled inside the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, was scared out of his wits.

Even through the cauldron, he could clearly sense the sheer terror of the heavenly wrath.

"Yun'er, am I toast?" Qin Yun asked fearfully in his heart.

"I don’t know. The materials used to forge this Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron are premium-grade, so it should withstand a few more strikes!" Ling Yuner was also worried. "Why did the tribulation suddenly target you?!"

"Seems like I shouldn’t have devoured the heavenly might!" Qin Yun said bitterly.

"The consequences of messing with the heavens are indeed severe!" Ling Yuner remarked.

KA-BOOM! KA-BOOM!

Another massive wave of lightning descended from the sky, pummeling the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron in a relentless volley.

Webs of fractures spiderwebbed across the surface of the cauldron.

Fortunately, artifacts like this could heal themselves, though it would take a long time.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.

Before long, daylight flooded back as the light of the nine suns shone upon the earth once more.

Old Feitian stood there dumbstruck, realizing that some poor bastard had tanked the last lightning bolts for him—otherwise, he might have truly perished.

Looking toward the distant black speck, all he could make out was a lone cauldron.

Old Feitian hurriedly flew over.

As he approached, he saw someone crawling out of the cauldron—it was Qin Yun!

Qin Yun emerged battered and bloodied, his flesh split like cracked porcelain, and his Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was nearly shattered.

"G-Grand Master, it’s you? You were struck by the Tribulation Lightning just now?" Old Feitian was completely floored, his brain short-circuiting at the fact that Qin Yun had survived several terrifying lightning strikes.

Qin Yun forced a bitter smile. "You don’t wanna know. I almost died! I have no idea why that heavenly tribulation suddenly targeted me!"

Old Feitian said excitedly, "Grand Master, you saved my life! If you hadn’t taken those last lightning strikes for me, I’d have been reduced to cinders!"

"We’re both alive—that’s what matters!" Qin Yun chuckled.

The land within a radius of over a hundred thousand meters was now a warzone of jagged crevices, tendrils of smoke still curling up from them, the air thick with residual lightning energy.

Suddenly, several auras appeared in the distance!

Old Feitian whispered, "We’ve got company! Let’s hide!"

He pulled out a large black cloth and threw it over them like a shroud.

Strangely, though covered by the cloth, Qin Yun could still see outside.

"This is a weird-ass artifact. Once covered, it makes us invisible—our presence is concealed, and outsiders can’t see us, but we can see them!" Old Feitian explained with a grin.

Soon, they spotted several elders floating ominously in the air.

A thin, disheveled elder muttered, "This must be the tribulation site—the area with the strongest lightning force. I wonder who was undergoing the tribulation. Judging by the intensity, it must have been the Sixth Tribulation!"

"Maybe he's already dead?" another elder said with a chuckle.

"He probably isn't! Judging by the duration of the tribulation, he lasted till the end, and there are lingering spirit remnants nearby!" The scrawny elder took out a talisman and added, "If there are remnants, this talisman of mine can sense them!"

"Big brother, are you actually trying to find that person?"

"Anyone who survives the Sixth Tribulation must have powerful divine artifacts! That guy must be injured too. If we can find him, we can finish him off and take his artifacts! That way, I can smoothly pass my own Sixth Tribulation later!" The scrawny elder laughed excitedly.

"Son of a bitch, they actually want to steal my stuff? I’m going out there to fight them!" Old Feitian muttered under his breath.

"Senior, can you handle them?" Qin Yun asked worriedly. "You’re still quite injured!"

"I just survived the Sixth Tribulation—my immortal power has increased significantly. These scratches are nothing. Watch me wipe them out!" Old Feitian said before throwing off the black cloth and charging toward the half-immortals in the sky.

Qin Yun stayed hidden under the black cloth, watching the scene above.
