One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 449: Chapter 373 What Tong Shan Great Saint, Kneel Down!

Boom!

Su Heng threw a punch towards the densely clouded sky.

His formidable physical strength erupted, compressing the air and forming a white tidal wave rushing heavenward.

In the pitch-black tribulation clouds, a huge hole was instantly torn open. And from the vast sky faint golden sunlight scattered down, falling upon Su Heng.

However, this burst of light only lasted for a moment before it disappeared with the surging clouds.

An ancient will, as if provoked, teemed from all directions, thick thunder serpents dancing wildly, carrying the Tribulation Light, shuttling through the heavy clouds. Then they converged, forming a silver-white waterfall that pierced the heavens and earth, engulfing Su Heng entirely from above. From afar, one could only see a black dot within.

The continuous rumbling sounds kept resounding.

Around him, no matter the earth or the mountains, all were shaking, collapsing, as if unable to bear this force.

And on a mountain outside White Tower Temple, Nangong Yue, Huang Xuzi, Elder Qingchan, and others all widened their eyes and gaped in shock at everything unfolding before them.

Floating above their heads was a slightly dimly lit screen, with a jade-bowl-shaped object floating at the top, which was constantly rotating, isolating the internal and external auras. This artifact was known as the “Nine Netherworld Fire Shield”, a Bloody Sacrifice Divine Weapon passed down directly within the Heart Demon Sect.

The aura it emitted was able to block perception, which was why Su Heng had passed by without noticing Nangong Yue and the others.

Crack!

Huang Xuzi forcefully snapped his jaw back into place.

Swallowing hard, he hesitantly said, “Although ancient texts say that the power of Heavenly Tribulation is unpredictable, to be this extreme seems a bit exaggerated, doesn’t it?”

They, being prominent Demon Sect leaders within the realms around Linjiang, were also big shots in their own right.

Yet observing the flashing Tribulation Light in the distant sky, despite being a far distance away, they couldn’t help their trembling knees and shuddering fear.

If they were in Su Heng’s current situation, Huang Xuzi, without a moment’s hesitation, would break out in goosebumps. And within a short time, they would undoubtedly meet their demise in smoke and ash.

At that time, Nangong Yue also gently frowned, saying, “If only the lightning could strike him dead, it would save us a lot of trouble.”

Elder Qingchan next to her laughed, “The Heavenly Tribulation has three layers, and this is only the first and least powerful. You’re really daydreaming with such wishful thinking.”

Nangong Yue let out a light “hmph” with apparent displeasure but did not continue to argue about it further.

At that moment…

Huang Xuzi beside her asked, “Where is Tong Shan Great Saint? Why hasn’t he arrived at a time like this?”

"Perhaps he encountered some trouble on the way and was delayed?” Nangong Yue’s brows slightly knitted, but she still calmly said, “Rest assured, if Tong Shan Great Saint has promised to come, he will not break his word.”

"That’s good,” Huang Xuzi sighed with relief.

Just then, the first Heavenly Tribulation finally passed.

As Elder Qingchan said, the lightning disappeared and Su Heng’s body was suspended in mid-air.

His skin was slightly scorched, with strands of black smoke rising, but overall he looked in good condition, with no apparent injuries on his body.

"Such a strong physique Nangong Yue watched Su Heng from afar, clenching her fists. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her emotions clearly in disarray.

She knew that the previous few tribulations could not really threaten Su Heng.

But that he would get through them so easily was somewhat unexpected for Nangong Yue.

At that moment, Elder Qingchan, seeing through Nangong Yue’s facade of composure, suggested, “Maybe we should leave now, while there is still time.”

"That’s inappropriate!” Nangong Yue clenched her teeth and waved her hand, refusing.

On one hand, as the sect master, she could not easily go back on her word.

On the other hand, the favor from Tong Shan Great Saint had been used up; leaving empty-handed now would truly be a total loss.

Elder Qingchan saw her obstinacy.

Shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking further.

Among the people present, other than the three Demon Elders.

There were several other elders behind them, from Heart Demon Sect and Yellow Wind Sect. Seeing the situation shift unfavorably, some elders wore a worried expression and began a murmuring discussion below.

Nangong Yue turned her head to glance back and spoke out loud, “Elders, there is no need to worry. With the Nine Netherworld Fire Shield to obscure our traces, even if the situation turns dire, we will be able to leave safely. Moreover, once this mission is over, regardless of the outcome, in my personal capacity, I will present each of you with a Heart Demon Pill.”

The Heart Demon Pill was a unique elixir of the Heart Demon Sect.

It could permanently increase spiritual power, with effects similar to the Tribulation Crossing Lotus, playing a significant role even in the cultivation of Earth Immortals.

Hearing such promises from Nangong Yue.

Combined with the fact that the Nine Netherworld Fire Shield had indeed obscured Su Heng’s presence before.

The elders quietly discussed among themselves before falling silent, continuing to observe the ongoing Tribulation and the massive Undead Tree on the distant Snow Mountain, waiting for Nangong Yue’s next command.

Boom Boom Boom!

After the first Heavenly Tribulation, the second, third… up to the ninth Heavenly Tribulation fell.

The First Layer Heavenly Tribulation finally passed peacefully.

At this moment, Su Heng’s body was already charred, but he still appeared lively and vigorous.

Even the combination of divine lightning and Tribulation Light that could injure Su Heng was limited, as his Healing speed was evidently faster.

The black dust clinging to his body.

Was simply damaged clothes and shed dead skin.

Even after being struck by nine bolts of the Heavenly Tribulation, Su Heng felt as if his physique had become somewhat more transparent.

Most of the Heavenly Thunder was intercepted by Su Heng, but a small portion of the Thunder Light still reached Ming Daoist.

"World Cleansing Tribulation Light” is the natural nemesis for anomalies like the Undead Tree.

Bloodstains spread on the Undead Tree, and flames were burning. Even some large branches fell off, some spiritual power dissipated in the process, but the remaining became much more condensed. While treating his injuries, Ming Daoist transmitted his voice to Su Heng, “The next layer of Heavenly Tribulation requires time to accumulate power. We can take this time to clear out the uninvited guests around.”

"Where are they?”

Crack!

Su Heng shook his neck.

Although he didn’t take these people seriously, he was not willing to be watched.

Ming Daoist lifted a branch and pointed toward the west direction. Following the direction of Ming Daoist’s finger, Su Heng looked over to see a desolate mountain, completely barren.

As if they had a tacit understanding.

When Su Heng looked over expressionlessly.

Nangong Yue on the desolate mountain also looked up at the same time, and their gazes met across a vast distance.

"Hiss

With Tong Shan Great Saint absent, Nangong Yue was merely feigning composure.

Now, locking eyes with Su Heng made her feel like a small white rabbit that had encountered a ferocious beast in the forest.

In a daze, Nangong Yue felt a chill in her heart as her hands and feet went cold, almost crying out loud.

"Something’s not right!”

At this moment, Elder Qingchan also realized it, his face changed dramatically, “That guy seems to have discovered us.”

"That’s impossible!” Nangong Yue was in a state of panic, but she still defiantly said, “The Nine Netherworld Fire Shield is unmatched in concealing one’s presence; it has never failed before—Boom!”

Su Heng raised his hand.

A golden-red streak of light shot across the sky, bursting forth.

The defensive power of the Nine Netherworld Fire Shield was mediocre; its protection was directly penetrated.

Immediately followed by a huge explosion, the entire range of mountains was destroyed, earth and heaven shook, and a giant fireball expanded rapidly in the air, engulfing a few Demon Elders who were too slow to react.

When they emerged, they were nothing but charred remains.

All their genetic material completely penetrated by the terrifying stream of radiation.

Even with their Undying nature, there was no way out, and they perished on the spot, no different from ordinary cultivators.

The remaining ones, such as Nangong Yue and Huang Xuzi, were a bit stronger. Although they dodged the attack, their appearances were disheveled and pathetic.

Nangong Yue’s hair was singed, with a look of terror on her face.

And in the distance, Su Heng laughed out loud, the laughter stirring up a dust storm on the plains, rolling in.

"Didn’t expect that there’d really be things that don’t know whether they are alive or dead, daring to disrupt my grand plan!” Su Heng’s face bore a hint of murderous aura, he stepped towards Nangong Yue and others.

At this moment, they were still quite far apart; in Nangong Yue’s eyes, Su Heng was just an insignificant black dot on the vast plains.

But his presence was too overwhelming, like a spreading dark shadow rapidly extending in all directions. His domineering presence filled the entire sky, even the ambiance of the Heavenly Tribulation was forcibly suppressed, the rumbling thunder sounded distant, as if it could not be heard.

"Now that the world is in chaos, it’s right about time for me to refine a batch of mindless, heartless War Slaves. Your arrival is just on time.”

Bang!

The air beneath Su Heng’s feet exploded with a roar.

And his body turned into a streak of black light, up and down, already traversing tens of thousands of meters, appearing in front of Nangong Yue and the others.

He towered above, his left arm rapidly inflating, his fingers spread, driving a vast shadow that swiftly enlarged and pressed down in Nangong Yue’s horrified and despairing gaze.

Ding!

What should have been a crippling blow.

Was intercepted by a red copper furnace flying through the air. Su Heng’s body shook and he paused in mid-air, a look of surprise crossing his face.

And the red copper furnace also flew out, blasting a large mountain directly to pieces. Out of the rolling rocks and dust, emerged a figure with a broad face, large ears, and a body wide as if cast from copper.

"Great Saint Tong Shan, I was a step late, please forgive me, Nangong Sect Master,” Tong Shan Great Saint first apologized to Nangong Yue.

Then he bowed to Su Heng, “I, Tong Shan Great Saint, am fulfilling a promise to another. Though I bear no grudge against you, it is a matter of obligation, and a fight is unavoidable.”

"Tong Shan Great Saint?”

Su Heng looked down at his trembling palm and scoffed, “Having cultivated your physical body to such an extent is not bad. However, you are not qualified to fight me.”

"Hmm, why would Demon Dragon say so?” Tong Shan Great Saint usually had a pleasant disposition.

But hearing such an arrogant statement from Su Heng, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows, puzzled.

And Nangong Yue and others felt an overwhelming elation—if Su Heng and Tong Shan Great Saint were both injured, there would be no way to withstand the subsequent two layers and eighteen strikes of Heavenly Tribulation.

"You want to know the reason Su Heng sighed softly, his smile receded into a look of disdain and majesty like that of a monarch looking down on his subjects.

"Kneel!”

Su Heng’s voice exploded over the wasteland.

Layer upon layer, echoing back and forth, an indescribable pressure spread, finally landing on Tong Shan Great Saint.

When Tong Shan Great Saint tried to resist, he was shocked to find that he had lost control of his body. His knees involuntarily bent, his upright spine began to press down inch by inch, his head lowered, while the cracking earth rapidly enlarged in his field of vision.
