Chapter 126: Third Myriad Tribulation
"Oh no! He is accelerating the formation!"
"Even though I do not know what he is trying to refine, we cannot let him succeed!"
"Everyone, collaborate with me!!"
Under Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord's lead, Heaven Overseeing Tower turned phantom, it flew out, bypassing the encirclement of the ghostly hands.
At the next moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower turned back into material form, with a loud sound, it propelled forward and crashed into Spectral Soul's right head fiercely.
At once, Spectral Soul's head caved in from the impact, his chin was slammed into the position of the cheek bones.
Spectral Soul roared furiously, a hundred hands grabbed at Heaven Overseeing Tower.
"Again!" Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord shouted.
At the critical moment, Heaven Overseeing Tower turned phantom again, causing Spectral Soul's attack to miss.
This ability to turn phantom was one of Heaven Overseeing Tower's methods. But it was not easy to activate, a large amount of thoughts and concentration was needed, it was like Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage's ability to absorb attacks.
Heaven Overseeing Tower floated above Spectral Soul's head in phantom form. But at this moment, a hundred of Spectral Soul's strong dark arms shrunk immensely, turning dry, thin and long.
Obtaining his help, the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation underwent a huge change, the scattered dark clouds gathered towards the center.
At the center of the dark clouds, a round ball could be vaguely seen, it spun on its own, shining with fourteen different colored lights.
Seeing this, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had an anxious expression, he ordered: "Chop off these arms!"
Heaven Overseeing Tower was like a rocket, it drew an eye piercing light rainbow in the sky as it slashed forward. The light rainbow cut all of Spectral Soul's arms off upon contact.
"Ying Wu Xie, go and deal with Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals!" Immortal zombie Bo Qing called out.
Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to leave at this moment: "Give me a moment to make Fang Yuan sleep first."
Saying so, he activated the rank eight immortal killer move — Lead Soul Into Dream.
However this time Fang Yuan allowed himself to go inside a dream realm.
Fang Yuan once again heard Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's singing.
Phantom form!
Heaven Overseeing Tower dodged Spectral Soul's attack again.
But Spectral Soul's ghostly hands did not stop, they drove into the ten extreme formation.
Heaven Overseeing Tower was prepared to attack again, but one of Spectral Soul's heads opened its eyes and gazed at Heaven Overseeing Tower, immobilizing it.
Heaven Overseeing Tower was unable to change out of its phantom form!
"Hahaha, this time, why don't you try and escape?!" Ying Wu Xie placed his hands at his waist, laughing smugly.
"Fang Yuan!" Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouted.
But Fang Yuan was deep in sleep, he could not be woken up.
Bo Qing was about to kill Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, when there was suddenly a huge suction force from the ground.
Grand tribulation — Earth Collapse!
Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie were shocked, they did not expect that while the myriad tribulation was dealing with Spectral Soul, there was actually a grand tribulation waiting to ambush them.
"Why are they not restricted?!" Soon, both of them were shocked again.
They saw that after landing on the ground, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng regained their freedom, they could move freely.
Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were shocked and joyful.
The latter quickly grabbed Fang Yuan, who was sleeping, and retreated rapidly.
What made them even more joyful was that after the ten extreme formation created the mysterious ball, the force that restricted the space around them vanished. If Fang Yuan woke up, they would be able to use Fixed Immortal Travel and escape.
But Fang Yuan was deep in sleep.
Immortal zombie Bo Qing's eyes shined with deep killing intent, he was about to use his sword path Immortal Gu, when he felt that the thoughts in his mind, just as they appeared, were sucked out and into the ground.
Just like this, Bo Qing could only watch as Hei Lou Lan and the others escaped from under his nose!
"Damn it!!" Ying Wu Xie struggled continuously, there were few results from his actions, he sank deeper and deeper as he screamed.
"Stop struggling, stop thinking. It will make our situation worse, we cannot deal with this at the moment." Immortal zombie Bo Qing who was beside him said in a calm tone.
"We can only hope that our main body saves us." Ying Wu Xie sighed, looking at Spectral Soul.
Only to see that Spectral Soul was also sinking, half of his huge legs were already below the surface of the ground. Not just that, his left leg's lower portion was tightly sewed onto the ground.
This was the result of an earlier attack by the Immortal Gu House Embroidered Tower.
At this moment, out of his six eyes, two were staring at Heaven Overseeing Tower, preventing it from moving, the other four were staring at the sky.
At the top of the sky, grey colored clouds were growing in thickness, they descended slowly.
The second myriad tribulation had started.
This myriad tribulation was very slow.
It was so slow that anyone who was undergoing the tribulation could retaliate in many ways.
But Spectral Soul did not move.
"Did our main body get hit already?" Ying Wu Xie shouted, looking extremely anxious: "This is such a good chance, you have to retaliate!!"
But until the grey cloud completely shrouded Spectral Soul, he did not move, he stared at Heaven Overseeing Tower, controlling it firmly.
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals were troubled.
They used the phantom method to make Heaven Overseeing Tower evade Spectral Soul's attacks. But to think that Spectral Soul's phantom path attainment level was beyond expectations, he was certainly a great grandmaster.
Heaven Overseeing Tower's phantom tactic was taken advantage of by Spectral Soul, becoming unable to return to its normal form. Then how could it fight or do anything in that state?
"The myriad tribulation is coming!" Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, looking at the grey cloud descend slowly.
Immortal zombie Bo Qing squinted, his muscles were tense.
The grey cloud descended, but it caused no harm.
"What is going on? Is this a harmless myriad tribulation?!" Ying Wu Xie was nervous, seeing that there was no disturbance, he touched his body all over as he cried out in suspicion.
Bo Qing did not answer him.
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals recognized this myriad tribulation, but Ying Wu Xie was unable to obtain the answer.
"Is this grey memory?" The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal who recognized it cried out.
Myriad tribulation — Grey Memory.
Because he recognized this myriad tribulation, Spectral Soul did not move.
He knew that no attacks could resolve this tribulation. Only by entering it and facing his past, all the shame, trauma, humiliation and anger, could he pass this tribulation.
The grey clouds coiling around his body suddenly had bright lights, there was even sound emitting from them.
What was presented in front of the immortals was a scene from Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's childhood.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng carried Fang Yuan as he sprinted and escaped.
For some reason, the grand tribulation, earth collapse, did not affect them.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan made use of this chance to escape, running away while feeling shock and joy.
The ten extreme formation was in its critical moment, it could not restrict the surroundings, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan escaped very easily.
In a few minutes, they could no longer see the grey clouds in the sky.
"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, wake up!" Hei Lou Lan slapped Fang Yuan's face, but he was not responding, he was sound asleep.
"Gu Immortals from Northern Plains?!" A voice could be heard from afar.
Next, three Southern Border Gu Immortals landed.
Seeing Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng in a pathetic state full of injuries, the leading Gu Immortal was shocked: "Looking at your injuries, did you come from Yi Tian Mountain? Speak! What actually happened there?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had an expression of wariness.
Hei Lou Lan smiled coldly: "You want to know what happened, go there and see for yourselves."
"We are asking you to speak, you had better obey us."
"Northern Plains Gu Immortals coming to Southern Border and still acting so arrogantly!"
"Attack!! Take down the three of them."
Thus, a battle occurred out of nowhere.
And in Yi Tian Mountain's battlefield, the grey fog was still spreading.
The situation was in a stalemate.
No matter how hard the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals tried, they could not go out of their phantom form.
Ying Wu Xie and Bo Qing were all immobilized on the ground because of earth collapse.
Waves of grey fog coiled around immortal zombie Bo Qing as they shined with bright lights, showing constantly changing scenes.
"Hmph." Immortal zombie Bo Qing snickered.
Facing these sad traumas in her life, Mo Yao's remnant soul showed her strong-willed personality.
"Strange, why are you unaffected by the grey fog?" Bo Qing looked at Ying Wu Xie who was beside him.
Ying Wu Xie was staring at Bo Qing's grey fog intently.
"I don't know." Ying Wu Xie shook his head, he pointed: "Yours is pretty interesting."
Bo Qing snorted: "It seems that because you were just born, and only have eighteen hours to live, you had no time to experience these things."
Saying this, Bo Qing's face was full of worries.
"This second myriad tribulation is truly vicious! Once you are within the grey fog, not only are your past traumas revealed, the deepest emotions in your mind will be drawn out, you will experience the emotions that you once felt. My memories have already caused me to feel upset.
If the recollection was on my lover, I might… If I am already this affected by it, then for Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, who has had a longer life and much more experience, how would he deal with it?" Thinking about this, Mo Yao's remnant soul looked up by moving the immortal zombie body.
Inside the grey fog, Spectral Soul was like a tall mountain, he was unmoving, like a dormant volcano.
Surrounding him, the grey fog was rumbling, countless rainbow lights were shining. This fog showed all kinds of images, Spectral Soul had already become a Gu Immortal.
"The myriad tribulation grey memory cannot stop him. Even though he is not a Demon Venerable now, and cannot be 'physically invincible', he is still mentally invincible!"
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals discussed, they were anxious, fearful, disdainful, and filled with hatred, all of these were on their expressions.
Chirp, chirp…
Just at this moment, in the sky, there was the clear chirping of birds.
Heavenly Court's immortals looked up, feeling great joy.
"Myriad tribulation!"
"Another myriad tribulation!"
"The myriad tribulation grey memory is not over yet, but another myriad tribulation is on the way already."
"Spectral Soul Demon Venerable is defying heaven, once he revives, the world would undergo bloodshed again. Heaven would not allow him to do so, thus it caused these immense tribulations. He will definitely not succeed!"
The sky was shining with a jade light.
Large groups of birds entered a formation and charged down.
"Myriad tribulation — Grand Clear Space." One of the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals recognized this.
They seemed like birds, but it was actually the power of space path. Wherever the flying birds went, space would be cleared out, nothing could exist there, it was a terrifying power that could not be stopped.
"This is grand clear space? In history, there was a Northern Plains predecessor who failed the tribulation but survived it, with an inspiration, he created the immortal killer move three winged green bird. His descendants obtained it and had once dominated Northern Plains."
"That's right, this is the tribulation!"
Under the expectant gazes of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals, the jade flying birds flew down, circling around Spectral Soul.
Wherever the flying birds went, long and deep wounds were formed, as if they were sharp blades.
Wounds soon formed all over Spectral Soul's body, it was a terrible sight.
Spectral Soul had no reaction, but Ying Wu Xie was screaming on the ground.
Immortal zombie Bo Qing was also showing nervousness on his face.
The grey fog surrounded Spectral Soul, its power was seemingly causing him to dwell in his memories.
All of the experiences in his life, as long as there were emotions in them, they were shown, everyone was watching with dazed expressions, they could not keep up with the number of scenes.
Spectral Soul's entire life was condensed endlessly.
Everyone could see that he walked further and further on the demonic path, his killing nature also intensified, as his cultivation level rose.
A huge screen of fog was formed, pushing away the surrounding images again.
The position was at Spectral Soul's left leg.
Seeing this, the immortals had an understanding: The larger the scene that came from the rainbow fog, the more variation there was in Spectral Soul's emotions at the time.
Thus, the moment the scene started, everyone's attention was drawn.
