Besides his Natal Magical Treasure, Li Yan didn't have many treasures left to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.
Of the seven remaining magical treasures on his body, he also had to include the Li Fire Profound Yellow Fan and the mysterious Heaven-Stealing Kerchief, as well as the Sentient Sky Vine that Wei Zhongran had given him. The grade of the remaining plundered magical treasures was much more ordinary.
Seeing that he had no other options, and with a thing like the Heavenly Tribulation, if you didn't disperse it, you couldn't dodge it, you couldn't avoid it. It was a situation of life and death.
While crazily circulating the Spirit Power in his body, Li Yan was also constantly trying to quickly recover from his injuries. Seeing the slowly recovering wounds and the faint silver light emanating from them from the corner of his eye, Li Yan felt a wave of helplessness.
Although he had the ability to recover from physical wounds, this speed was no longer of much use now. It was not enough for him to get up and face the Heavenly Tribulation.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Li Yan was truly unwilling to just escape into the "Earthen Patch." His gaze suddenly locked onto the giant eye in the sky, and he fiercely steeled his heart.
With a thought, two streaks of dark light had already materialized from his Dantian and shot up into the sky. It was his Natal Magical Treasure—the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike.
In his urgency, Li Yan thought of the nature of the "Infinite Wanderer" tree, which could almost ignore all powerful attacks. More importantly, some of the materials in the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike were immune to the power of the five elements.
With all of this combined, although the grade of the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike was only low-grade, it might have some effect in resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation belonged to the power of the five elements. Li Yan could of course be sure of this point. Perhaps using the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike would have a different effect.
It was just that the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike was his Natal Magical Treasure. If it was destroyed or damaged by the heavens, Li Yan's main body would have to suffer a heavy blow. At that time, he might not even have the ability to escape into the "Earthen Patch."
However, to retreat into the "Earthen Patch" like this, Li Yan was truly unwilling. A cultivator was meant to fight against the heavens, the earth, and themselves.
In the sky above, the moment the six magical treasures came into contact with the Heavenly Tribulation, one of them immediately gave way, let out a mournful cry, and instantly fell in a straight line.
The other five only managed to resist for a short while before their light flickered erratically, and they continued to fall. The Heavenly Tribulation had descended to about fifteen yards above Li Yan's head in the blink of an eye.
The Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike had already met the Heavenly Tribulation in an instant. Surprisingly, after the two came into contact, there was no eruption of any Spirit Power fluctuation.
Instead, like two black swimming fish, they plunged headfirst into the Heavenly Tribulation and then quickly shot upwards towards the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.
After the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike entered the Heavenly Tribulation, it finally caused the condensed power of the Heavenly Tribulation to suddenly become scattered, stirring up the lightning strikes that were attacking the six magical treasures into a state of turmoil.
The Heavenly Tribulation immediately sensed the threat, and then the bolts of lightning that had condensed inside began to strike everywhere, hitting the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike one after another.
Li Yan only felt a series of tremors in his Divine Sense. He was stunned at first, and then a hint of joy appeared in his heart.
The backlash force he received on his Divine Sense that was controlling the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike was actually about sixty percent smaller than the backlash force transmitted from controlling the other six magical treasures.
"Most of the power was really absorbed or offloaded by it!"
What surprised Li Yan even more was that in his Divine Sense, the dense and crisscrossing bolts of lightning in the Heavenly Tribulation struck the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike.
The two Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spikes would often only sink a little, and the gloomy light on their bodies not only did not become dim, but became even brighter. They let the deep blue electric arcs leap and flicker on their surfaces and still rushed upwards.
More importantly, as Li Yan's Natal Magical Treasure, he did not feel any damage from the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike.
"The Heavenly Tribulation can't harm it either?"
This unbelievable thought arose in Li Yan's mind. He had been cultivating alone and did not know how powerful the Five Immortal Sects were. Often, any one of them could easily challenge enemies of a higher level.
The cultivators of the Five Immortal Sects were not only different from others because of their special magical power, but their alchemy and artifact refining arts were also unique.
They either possessed the power of the five elements or could resist the power of the five elements, just like the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike.
The true tribulation transcendence of the Five Immortal Sects cultivators would only be revealed after the Spirit Transformation stage.
At that time, because their realm had already touched upon the power of laws, and because they also possessed the power of the five elements at the same time, the intelligence of the Heavenly Tribulation they triggered was even more agile.
The tribulation transcendence at that time was about two to three times more difficult than that of ordinary cultivators.
It was already extremely difficult for the Five Immortal Sects to recruit disciples, so if even one of their disciples were to perish in a later Heavenly Tribulation, it might shake their foundation.
The Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike that Li Yan refined had the ability of "Yin and Yang are unpredictable, the formless is traceless, hard and soft change, Gui-Yi parts the water, the swimming and parting dragon, one strike shatters a thousand charges."
But Li Yan had never used it, so he only knew this from the artifact refining chapter of the "True Scripture of Gui Water" and could only understand some of its meaning literally.
For a cultivator like him who had a sect but no master, many things could only be figured out by himself, and he could not get any extra experience or guidance.
As the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike moved around a few times, its speed became faster and faster. It was truly like a dragon parting the water, stirring up the lightning in the center of the Heavenly Tribulation with a crackling sound, shooting in all directions.
The power that had been condensed like a pillar before became fragmented. Electric arcs shot out in all directions, causing the deep pit around to continuously expand outwards, but it was already unable to continue attacking downwards.
Everything was done under the control of Li Yan's Divine Sense. He had read so many classics and of course had obtained some records on how to resist and reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
The excitement in Li Yan's eyes grew stronger and stronger. It turned out that fighting this Heavenly Tribulation could also take a turn for the better.
He had now withdrawn the five magical treasures whose spirituality had been mostly lost and placed them ten yards above his head, creating a line of defense in case of any strange changes.
The Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike was already a deep blue. Every time the power of lightning struck it, it could not penetrate its interior at all, at most it would just change its path a little. And no matter what path the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike took, it could disrupt its constantly trying to condense power within, causing the Heavenly Tribulation to be stuck in mid-air, like a leaking airbag.
While taking out pills to recover from his injuries, Li Yan controlled the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike to stir up the Heavenly Tribulation, not allowing it to condense its power into a pillar.
However, this situation only lasted for less than three breaths. The pupils of the single eye that was hanging in the sky, which had originally been a gray-white, changed.
Suddenly, streaks of red light flashed out. As the red light flashed out, the color of the Heavenly Tribulation suspended above his head also changed. Strands of red lines appeared in the deep blue, and the red lines became more and more numerous.
Li Yan suddenly stood up. He felt a majestic power brewing, a power that contained the consciousness to destroy everything.
"It's angry!"
Li Yan knew that his actions had enraged the giant eye. Although his injuries had not fully recovered at this moment, he could barely stand up. But the pulling on his injuries made him frown continuously.
At the same time as he stood up, Li Yan's aura grew several times in an instant, erupting with a power several times stronger than before.
Accompanied by the full operation of "The Five Elements Return to Primordial Genesis," the wounds that had just recovered a little burst open again, and clouds of blood mist exploded with his rising.
At the same time as he stood up, Li Yan summoned all the magical treasures he had obtained from the battle on Windy Cool Mountain and placed them horizontally above his head, along with the five magical treasures that were already suspended there.
At the same moment, the two Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spikes, emitting a blue light, fiercely flew out of the Heavenly Tribulation, swiftly breaking away from it, no longer entangled with those lightning arcs.
At the fastest speed Li Yan could command, they flew towards the sky, hugging the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation's giant pillar. Two streaks of light shot up, like two arrows sliding along the surface of the pillar.
Li Yan already felt that death was imminent. How could he dare to let that single eye in the sky continue to accumulate power at this moment?
At the critical moment, he had instead just pulled the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike out of the Heavenly Tribulation, taking a risk.
Just as the Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike flew out of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation that was already hanging just over a dozen yards away no longer had any power dispersed. The next moment, it heavily smashed onto the defensive barrier formed by a group of magical treasures.
Although Li Yan's Divine Sense was far superior to his peers, he still couldn't withstand controlling so many magical treasures at the same time under the heavy bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Not only did he spit out mouthfuls of blood, but large amounts of blood also shot out from his eyes, ears, and nose, like a bleeding man leaking air.
Amidst the grating creaks of these magical treasures, the two Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spikes had already flown out of the deep pit with the momentum of a rushing thunder.
The next moment, they deeply pierced into the huge single eye that was protruding in the sky from both sides respectively.
The huge single eye, which had been continuously emitting red light, never expected that a magical treasure would ignore the five elements defensive power on its surface and pierce through it.
The huge single eye was stunned at first, and then began to shake violently. And the Heavenly Tribulation below it finally, like an ownerless object that had lost its roots, suddenly exploded in all directions.
Under the vast dark clouds, a ball of dazzling red and blue light spread out horizontally in all directions, as if bringing a piece of aurora.
Accompanied by it was a sudden gust of flying sand and stones. The earth was torn into deep gullies by the airwave, mud flying, and the rain curtain splashing.
The courtyards where the core disciples lived more than a hundred li away, like candlelight lit up in the dark night, swayed unsteadily in the wind.
This caused many disciples who were already deep in meditation and seclusion to be awakened by the violent shaking, feeling like a small boat in a raging wave. They released their Divine Senses in horror.
The sound of explosions was continuous, and the giant eye suspended in the sky was still painfully shaking and flinging itself around, as if trying to fling off the two sharp spikes nailed in its eye.
Three breaths later, as the giant eye violently pulled and shook the tribulation clouds, two things that had been stained with red light and had become a mixture of red and blue were directly flung away by it, flying towards the horizon in a flash.
And with this, the single eye scattered a large patch of scattered red light, like blood flying everywhere. The next moment, the giant eye had already shrunk back into the dark clouds.
As the single eye shrunk back, the thick, churning clouds in the sky also rapidly rose and shrank upwards, as if time was being rewound.
The sky was constantly brightening. The dark clouds and heavy rain turned into a single point and flashed towards the horizon...
The deep pit below had expanded and extended again after the strike just now, but Li Yan's figure was no longer to be seen in the pit.
Only a large number of golden electric arcs covered the bottom of the pit. They were constantly leaping and flickering, emitting a huge, heart-pounding crackling sound, turning into a golden, dreamlike scene.
Li Yan was deeply buried in the mud. At this moment, he was in a wonderful state. The surrounding golden electric arcs continuously seeped down through the gaps in the mud, and he continuously absorbed and gathered them into his body.
Just now, just as the spirituality of the several magical treasures above Li Yan's head was about to disappear completely, the Heavenly Tribulation above suddenly exploded horizontally into a curtain of aurora.
The deep pit was instantly impacted and expanded by a powerful tearing force. Li Yan was directly and fiercely smashed to the bottom of the pit, and a large amount of mud and debris poured down, burying him deep in the mud.
Even though the power of the Heavenly Tribulation had been mostly released horizontally due to the strange change in the giant eye, the Li Yan below still had to bear the remaining power.
He used his right hand to form a cultivation manual and desperately maintained the last spiritual power shield outside his body. His eyes were already covered with blood, and the last power stimulated by the "The Five Elements Return to Primordial Genesis" in his body was crazily pouring in.
But the mud and rubble above his head were getting more and more, thicker and thicker...
