Chapter 1468 The Frustrated Quasi-Emperors
Chapter 1468 The Frustrated Quasi-Emperors
“Golden cicada, I knew you wouldn’t just not care about me.” A smile lit up the white cicada maiden’s beautiful, flawless face. She knew that the great opportunity would belong to her as long as the golden cicada helped her. 1
“It’s not the Sever Dao Tribulation…” Zhao Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.1
“Hahaha, good!” Ancestor Blood Lotus burst into a sudden laughter. 0
However, a trace of confusion still lingered in their hearts. If that isn’t the Sever Dao Tribulation, then why would the taboo aura appear in the world?0
At that moment, the golden cicada youth’s voice rang again—0
“However, this is indeed a great tribulation, and it is called the Taboo Dao Tribulation. It is here for a little friend, but it needs to be shouldered by all of you. I believe that with your noble characters and unquestionable integrity, you all will be happy to help out and support a junior. I thank you all in advance.”0
His one sentence left all the Quasi-Emperors flabbergasted. 4
Taboo Dao Tribulation?0
They all thought of one person—Lin Xun!0
Many faces turned overcast. 0
We need to shoulder it with him?0
He is clearly passing the misfortune onto us and wants us to use our power to help the kid overcome the tribulation!0
The faces of some Quasi-Emperors turned dark at the thought of them being used as part of the scheme. 0
Old monsters such as Wu Jiuzhong and Thousand Feather Sword Flower, who previously suffered a humiliating scolding from Lin Xun, had steam coming out of their nostrils. 0
Even some Quasi-Emperors who had never had any problems with Lin Xun did not feel good when they heard that. It was infuriating to be schemed by an insignificant ant whom they had never attached any importance to. 0
Zhao Yuanji, the empress, Zhao Tailai and the principal of Qinglu Academy all donned strange expressions. They did not expect Lin Xun to scheme something like this. 0
He actually wanted to borrow the hands of a group of Quasi-Emperors to help him overcome the Taboo Dao Tribulation!0
His approach impressed and amazed Zhao Yuanji and the others. 0
Fei Lan, the white-robed man who was transformed from a blood-colored moth, guessed the truth right away, “It must be the golden cicada’s idea.” 0
He had been in Mulberry Woodland for endless years, but he still could not see through the golden cicada. 0
In the eyes of all the living creatures in Mulberry Woodland, the golden cicada was the most mysterious and unfathomable existence.0
“What nonsense is this? What do you mean by noble character and unquestionable integrity? What do you mean by supporting a junior? I hate the fact that I can’t kill that boy, and yet you want me to help him! No way!” Thousand Feather Sword Flower raged. 0
“Hmph, I won’t agree to that either,” Ancestor Blood Lotus snorted. 1
“I’m afraid that you will have to agree. When the tribulation descends, it will trigger all kinds of tribulations to fill the entire purgatory. You all...will have no choice but to face them. In that case, why not just go along with it and just treat it as sowing good karma?” The voice of the golden cicada youth rang again. 3
Suddenly, Thousand Feather Sword Flower, Ancestor Blood Lotus, Wu Jiuzhong, Gou Tianxing and the others looked worse than before. 0
Go along with it?0
What do you think we Quasi-Emperors are?0
You told us to sow good karma, but do you think we are some great virtuous people who repay evil with kindness?0
This is so frustrating!0
Previously, the appearance of Lin Xun had already ruined their plan of attacking Zhao Yuanji and the others in front of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, and now, Zhao Yuanji had the upper hand in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory.0
It was also because of Lin Xun that Fei Lan had appeared and pierced a petal of Thousand Feather Sword Flower with the No-Nonsense Bow, which shocked everyone else. 0
Even so, they could not do anything to Lin Xun, because he not only had the protection of Fei Lan but also the seven terrifying creatures. It was impossible for them to crush the tiny ant regardless of how much they wanted to. 0
And now, the kid had the guts to use them in his scheme and make them counter the Taboo Dao Tribulation for him...0
Did he have no respect for the Quasi-Emperors?1
When had an ant ever dared to repeatedly provoke them and also scheme against them?0
What did he think Quasi-Emperors were?1
The more the old monsters thought about it, the more frustrated and enraged they were. 1
Worst of all, they had no choice but to accept it...1
No matter how good their temper was, no matter how much self-restraint they had, no matter how patient they were, they still could not help but feel the urge to go berserk. 0
Zhao Yuanji and the others were all smiling.0
Ever since Lin Xun showed up, things had turned around for them. Not only was their predicament resolved, but they also made it this far. How could they not be happy?0
Quasi-Emperors were also people with emotions, desires, likes and dislikes!0
The higher one’s cultivation level and the stronger one was, the less likely they were to hide their emotions and dislikes. Once you are strong enough, you have nothing to worry about!0
It would be a big mistake to think that the powerful figures regarded humiliation and provocation as nothing or that they were devoid of emotions and lacked desires. 0
At this moment, Lin Xun had no time to think too much. His mind was tensed up, and his expression was unprecedentedly solemn and guarded.0
Terrifying and obscure taboo power continued to accumulate in the rift in the sky, growing stronger and stronger. 0
Only then did Lin Xun realize that even though he had come fully prepared, he had still far underestimated the terror of the Taboo Dao Tribulation.0
Not any cultivator of the longevity path could overcome such a tribulation. 1
Boom!0
Suddenly, a spear condensed from the aura of taboo tribulation and squeezed out from the crack, emitting the destructive power of the order.0
As soon as it appeared, Lin Xun’s expression dramatically changed.0
I can’t fight that!0
This was his instinctive response, and it was extremely strong.0
However, when the spear appeared, the purgatory world in the bowl started to quake and rumble.0
In each of the secret realms, the aura of tribulation emerged, thousand threads of them, all gathering together in a complicated and intricate way like a giant net of tribulation. 0
The taboo spear descended and immediately collided with the endless aura of tribulation.0
Rumble!0
A deafening rumble stung everyone’s ears as if the sky and earth were splitting apart. Then, a terrifying destructive aura poured into each of the secret realms of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory.0
Someone roared, “Argh!” 0
“It’s true…”0
Someone’s expression changed. They now believed in what the golden cicada youth said.0
“Damn it, I can’t believe we would be used by an ant…” exclaimed someone in an exasperated manner. 1
In particular, Thousand Feather Sword Flower, Ancestor Blood Lotus, Wu Jiuzhong and Gou Tianxing all were so mad that they almost coughed up blood. Their faces were darker than the bottom of a scorched pot. 0
But regardless of how unwilling and frustrated they were, they would not dare to lower their guards and had to take action. 0
This was because each of the secret realms they were situated in were all withstanding the power of the destructive aura!0
Lin Xun’s dark eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The tensed churning feeling in his stomach eased. He noticed that the power of the Taboo Dao Tribulation had been broken down into many turbulent currents.0
When it descended on him, it only had less than one-thousandth of its original power, and it looked rather weak, no different from an ordinary tribulation lightning.0
However, he would not be careless because he knew that the taboo power was extremely unusual and special. He activated all his power to withstand it. 0
Boom!0
In the blink of an eye, the destructive power collapsed and disappeared in a shower of light.0
Lin Xun did not relax yet, because he saw many more taboo powers were accumulating in the crack in the sky and would soon come at him!0
But he had regained his confidence compared to when he first saw the Taboo Dao Tribulation.0
He activated all his daos and arts, soared into the air, moved unhindered, and killed to his heart’s content. 0
Of course, he knew very well that he could only be so relaxed because the majority of the Taboo Dao Tribulation power was shared with the other Quasi-Emperors. 1
“I really want to thank you all this time...” Lin Xun uttered emotionally. 1
He was completely unaware that, in the other secret realms, the Quasi-Emperor old monsters who already hated him to the bone were cursing at him nonstop. Their faces were so overcast that water almost condensed and dripped from them.3
As high and mighty Quasi-Emperors, it was an unprecedented shame and humiliation for them to be successfully schemed by an insignificant ant!0
“This is the uncertainty. All tribulations are destined to change according to the uncertainty.” In the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, the golden cicada clapped his hands and laughed. 1
He was pleased to have witnessed all this, because this was what he was happy to see.1
“I feel it!”0n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Suddenly, Zhao Yuanji, who was standing in the 9998th secret realm and dealing with the power of the Taboo Dao Tribulation, trembled all over and a beam of bright light burst forth from his eyes. His face lit up with surprise. 1
It was the power of the great opportunity!0
A strange scene appeared in Zhao Yuanji’s mind. He saw a path leading up to all heavens.1
That path was so bright, sacred, supreme, mysterious and unpredictable that even his mind started to tremble.0
At the same time, the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory quaked.0
In the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, the bowl of Ten Thousand Tribulation Transformed World started to vibrate and buzz on the table. Then, mysterious ripples formed on its rough, dark surface. 0
“Tribulation abounds, changes occur again!” The golden cicada youth’s eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his body radiated a wonderful aura. 0
Meanwhile, in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory, all the Quasi-Emperors who were fighting against the Taboo Dao Tribulation sensed something and their countenances changed.0
Someone has taken the power of the great opportunity!0
Who?!0
A tide of feelings, bewilderment, anger, shock and bitterness, swept over them. 0
Before this, they felt extremely frustrated from being schemed against by Lin Xun, but now, they found out that the great opportunity had been taken away. They all almost vomited blood from the heavy blow.0
Fei Lan frowned and let out a long sigh.0
Ancestor Blood Lotus roared maniacally.0
The aura around Thousand Feather Sword Flower suddenly turned violent and berserk.0
The other Quasi-Emperors such as Wu Jiuzhong and Gou Tianxing were also going crazy.0
Why?0
Why would it become like this?0
Did we wait endless painful years for this outcome?0
They—felt extremely bitter and disappointed!0
No one other than them would understand what a heavy blow it was to miss out on the great opportunity!0
“Golden cicada, you said you would help me, then why did this happen?”1
In the 9999th secret realm, the white cicada maiden could no longer control her emotions. Her body erupted with a terrifying ferocious aura, and her voice became pitifully ice-cold.
