Chapter 1640: Chapter 374: The Tenth Tribulation Day

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry and come in.”

“You three, do you want the Peak Master to sacrifice in vain?”

Shouts and reprimands echoed from the direction of the cave, and the three finally came to their senses, rushing into the cave.

But the moment they stepped into the cave, all three fell to their knees on the ground.

“It’s us, we killed our master!”

“If it weren’t for saving us, the Peak Master wouldn’t have had to die!”

“Peak Master…”

The three had already broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and their ages were over a hundred years, yet now, they were like children, staring at the direction where the Purple Dawn Peak Master had self-destructed, crying uncontrollably.

They hated, hated themselves for running so slowly; if only they had been faster, the Peak Master wouldn’t have needed to sacrifice.

They hated their cultivation base for being so weak!

As time passed, the battle within the Hundred Peaks Sect grew more fierce, and more formations began to be damaged.

On every mountain peak, disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect started to die.

Even the Four Treasures Peak was no exception.

The disciples of Four Treasures Peak were at the Longevity Period, but Four Treasures Peak also had formations, guarded by other disciples.

With the arrival of the tenth day of the Sect Tribulation, a tenth type of tribulation appeared in the void.

Not only was there one more tribulation, the power of the original nine types also increased.

The blue thunder had transformed into purple thunder, flames became more intense, and the wind had turned into a tornado.

Some Golden Core Stage individuals had retreated to safety, but a few inside the formations continued to hold on.

Outside the formations, individuals at the Earth Immortal Realm desperately guarded the great formation, refusing to retreat despite injuries, even serious ones!

Today marked the last day of the Sect Tribulation; if they could endure it, the Hundred Peaks Sect would be able to ascend to the Hundred Peaks Teach!

This was the pinnacle pursuit of countless generations of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

Now, they just needed to hold out for this last day!

In the direction of Ascension Peak, the tribulation clouds in the void underwent wild changes, lightning, flames, heavy water, and gales clashed and formed shapes resembling ferocious beasts.

Cao Zhen’s expression instantly turned solemn; when helping the Five Sounds Sect with their tribulation before, the lightning only collided with other lightning and the flames with other flames… Only similar tribulations colliding would form ferocious beasts, but now all tribulations were mixed; for instance, when lightning collided with fire or wind, it turned into a ferocious beast!

These beasts resembled Saint Beast Kylin, Divine Dragon, Phoenix, Pixiu… Some had bizarre appearances, as if composites of various beasts.

But regardless of their form, each beast emitted a terrifying aura, each surpassing the strength of ordinary Longevity Period cultivators.

These beasts exuded the majesty of the Heavenly Dao but were full of savagery, ferocity, and wildness!

“One person, one beast, quickly eliminate them; do not let these beasts be hit by other tribulations!”

These beasts were most terrifying in that, if struck by tribulations, they wouldn’t be harmed; instead, any damage would be repaired, and their strength would increase.

In the distance, members of the Demonic Sect, along with gathered figures from the Grand Righteous Sect, also noticed the changes in the tribulation clouds above the Hundred Peaks Sect, specifically above its central location.

“The real test of the Sect Tribulation has arrived.”

“Whether the Hundred Peaks Sect can successfully overcome the tribulation depends on now.”

“I wonder how many experts the Hundred Peaks Sect has left in their center. From observing over the past nine days, the Hundred Peaks Sect supported for so long, dispatching many hands elsewhere, implying few are left in the center.”

“Do they have such faith in their experts?”

“They might be a bit too confident; this final test isn’t easy. They’re all at the Longevity Period, on the Immortal Mountain reaching multiple heights; if the Hundred Peaks Sect deployed too many people elsewhere, leaving too few in the center, leading to the death of an expert, the loss would be massive!”

At Ascension Peak, as soon as those tribulation beasts appeared, everyone acted.

Behind Cao Zhen, the towering Immortal Mountain fully emerged, as he faced the mountain-like Grey Ape, he abruptly slashed his sword.

Instantly, in the void, a hundred images of Cao Zhen appeared, each with silver and orange wings on their backs.

They simultaneously struck, and instantly a hundred streams of sword qi emerged in the void, seemingly converging into one sword.

As the sword light passed, the void in front of him unfolded abruptly, even where the sword fell, impacting various tribulations, causing them to shatter.

The next moment, the sword struck the ferocious beast heavily.

Instantly, the giant Grey Ape exploded violently.

Not far away, experts from Dragon Chant Sect and Yin Yang Sect who came to assist swallowed hard; even though the tribulation was already on its tenth day, it was the first time Cao Zhen had acted on Ascension Peak. There were enough experts gathered there, not requiring Cao Zhen to act to withstand the tribulation.

Previously, Cao Zhen shuttled between peaks to provide aid. Now, it was the first time he struck on Ascension Peak; they saw Cao Zhen’s full-force action for the first time. That feeling!
