Flesh and blood splattered as the thunder, with the force of a bamboo-splitting momentum, effortlessly broke through the line of defense formed by the tentacles.

In an instant, Flesh Mountain was battered into pieces.

The tentacles broke inch by inch, revealing Ou Yezi, now enveloped in lightning, resembling a celestial being descending to earth. He didn’t need to lift a finger, just sticking close was enough. Heavenly thunder would obliterate the enemy into dregs.

Flesh Mountain sensed the danger, its body shook, and the severed limbs on the ground rapidly gathered to form several bizarrely shaped legs, carrying it as it fled for its life.

It moved incredibly fast, and along the way, the thick blood-tinged aura was so dense it could not be dissipated, deterring any cultivators from trying to stop it.

In the void, the brewing lightning flickered, the robust thunder dragons roared, and they suddenly collided with Ou Yezi, binding him tightly, preventing him from breaking free to stop Flesh Mountain’s escape.

“Not good, the big shot is trapped by the Heavenly Tribulation!”

“That Flesh Mountain has absorbed negative energy for years and years, to have evolved such an ability… If it gets out, it will be a catastrophe!”

“Hurry, let’s get out of here; if that thing gets loose, the Northern Region will be the first to suffer. We must head to Central Province quickly, we might just save our lives!”

The cultivators stared at the fleeing mass of flesh in the distance, shock filling their hearts.

Until now, cultivators hadn’t paid much attention to strange creatures like Flesh Mountain. Although it could affect one’s mind, the effect wasn’t strong. Occasionally encountering groups of Flesh Mountain in dangerous places, they could quickly detect and destroy them on the spot.

In general, Flesh Mountain had the ability to influence one’s mind, but it lacked any attack power and couldn’t withstand attacks from cultivators, so few people took it seriously.

But at this moment, they realized they were wrong, and egregiously so.

The monstrous Flesh Mountain before them overturned their understanding. Compared to this heart-shaped mass of flesh, the ones they had previously encountered were merely child’s play.

For the first time, people came to regard this monster seriously and posed a question from the bottom of their hearts: Where did this creature come from?

Inside the Lamborghini, Li Xiaobai sighed. Even the Heavenly Tribulation of the Great Crossing Realm cultivators couldn’t kill it; Flesh Mountain had indeed become a considerable threat. Ou Yezi was now focused on resisting the Heavenly Tribulation and couldn’t be distracted, the situation was beyond saving, there was no need to stay any longer.

Casually, he tossed a few Spirit Stones into the fuel tank, preparing to leave the scene quickly.

A wrinkled hand suddenly reached over and held the steering wheel, the scruffy man’s face was flush with excitement.

“Boss, let this old beggar out, I suddenly feel invincible again!”

The old beggar was shouting, making a fuss, and insisting on getting out of the car, Li Xiaobai swore under his breath, you’re always the one with issues!

Opening the car door, the old beggar’s body became ethereal, turning into specks of starlight that rapidly disintegrated and vanished from everyone’s sight; in the void, light burst forth, and the old beggar instantly appeared in front of the rampaging Flesh Mountain.

“Eat my grand hand palm!”

With both palms pushing forward, an immense surge of Immortal Spirit Qi burst forth. This was a force different from the spiritual power of cultivators, ethereal immortal energy enveloped in supreme might, it fiercely struck the gigantic Flesh Mountain ahead.

Enveloped in divine light, the old beggar resembled a god in the mortal realm, and Flesh Mountain’s makeshift limbs and severed arms stood no chance, pulverized to dust.

The heart-like massive chunk of flesh was struck and flew away, landing precisely next to Ou Yezi.

The purple-black Heavenly Tribulation in the sky seemed provoked by this interference. Tribulation Crossing was meant to be a challenge for an individual, and if anyone attempted to intervene and take the tribulation for another, it would be seen as challenging Heaven’s authority, and the power of the heavenly punishment would exponentially target that person.

Now that Flesh Mountain had intruded into the Heavenly Tribulation, it clearly attracted its attention. A wisp of energy drifted onto the massive chunk of flesh, and within the thunderclouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, evolving into living creatures.

“Hiss, who is that old man, able to unleash such formidable power!”

“`

“This person must be a senior powerhouse to actually fight the Flesh Mountain barehanded. Too strong!”

“The Heavenly Tribulation is even evolving living creatures, probably provoked by the Flesh Mountain. The difficulty has jumped more than just one level!”

“Are those the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals? According to legend, only heaven’s chosen can bring about such Heavenly Punishment!”

Many cultivators were horrified, their eyes glued to the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky. Thunder rolled, lightning took human shape, clad in armor and wielding long spears, with silver serpents dancing wildly around them, a dangerous aura overwhelming the hearts of all cultivators.

They had never seen such a level of Heavenly Tribulation in their lives. Compared with this one, the tribulations their elder ancestors and Elders had crossed were child’s play.

Li Xiaobai was astonished. The lightning could actually take human form, and judging by the looks of it, its fighting strength was off the charts.

From amongst the Heavenly Soldiers, a humanoid lightning slowly emerged, brandishing its long spear that shockingly aimed straight at the Flesh Mountain below.

A streak of cold light arrived first, followed by a spear thrust like a dragon. The humanoid lightning seemed not to see Ou Yezi at all, passing over him directly, its spear transforming into a silver dragon that thrust straight into the giant chunk of flesh below.

“Puchi!”

The silver lightning, like entering a realm with no defenses, shredded the feelers of the flesh ball upon contact with its surface, the silver dragon piercing through the Flesh Mountain’s body without resistance.

A huge hole appeared in the giant heart, scorched by the Heavenly Tribulation, unlikely to recover anytime soon.

Hisss!

This Heavenly Tribulation is fierce!

Li Xiaobai thought to himself, if this spear were to strike him, it would undoubtedly be an instant kill, rendering any System or points added to defensive power utterly useless.

It seemed that even though he had attained a saintly physical body, compared to the true ruthless figures, he still had a long way to go. At least, the cultivators of the Great Crossing Realm were not within the scope of his provocation.

Ou Yezi’s performance today was outrageously strong, with the audacity to blood sacrifice a powerful chosen one to break through to the Great Crossing Realm, then using the Heavenly Tribulation to fiercely fight the Flesh Mountain, tearing it apart.

To cultivate to this step, none was an easy opponent.

In the void, Ou Yezi’s eyes condensed slightly. He had thought that he could easily pass the Heavenly Tribulation, but now it kept evolving, even stirring up the legendary transforming Heavenly Tribulation. Today, he feared it would be a bloody battle.

The old beggar rubbed his teeth and came to Ou Yezi’s side, his face full of disdain: “Just a transforming Heavenly Tribulation, I’ll take care of it for you.”

Since the Heavenly Tribulation’s escalation was due to him, it was only natural he should resolve it for the others, especially as he felt in better shape than ever. Not flexing his invincible demeanor would be a disservice to himself.

“Senior, you are…”

Ou Yezi was astonished. It was his first time seeing the old beggar, and he was immediately taken aback; this person closely resembled Elder Tianwu from the legends.

“Don’t bother guessing about me, I am but a legend.”

The old beggar waved his hand nonchalantly: “Your talent is not bad, what do you plan to do about this Heavenly Tribulation?”

“I will leave it to the senior’s discretion.”

Ou Yezi was shockingly moved. He had made a judgment; this person was the spitting image of the one in the portraits hanging in his sect. Having disappeared and fallen silent for nearly a century, this man was now walking the world again. It seemed that something big was about to happen on the Immortal Spirit Continent.

His eyes turned more reverent as he looked at the old beggar.

The old beggar didn’t care at all about what Ou Yezi was thinking. He casually picked his nose with his pinky finger and snorted lightly, “I am invincible, do as you please.”
