Vol.2 – Chapter 38 – Eternal Hexagram


The toad climbed onto the broken Turtle Mountain, grabbing the Merit Stele.

Merit was illusory, and so were soul beasts. Merit and soul beasts were simply a perfect match!

The merit belonged to Su He, so it was also its own. The soul beast and its master were of one heart and different bodies, inseparable. It manipulated the Merit Stele without any discomfort.

Its frog-like claws kneaded the stele, which surprisingly yielded like dough. In an instant, it was shaped into a cannon barrel.

Then, the toad took out a human-head-sized ball of tobacco from its pocket, stuffed it into the cannon barrel, aimed at the tribulation clouds of the Emperor’s World, and fired a booming shot.

“Boom~~~”

The tobacco exploded in the tribulation clouds, scattering like fireworks. Then, like firecrackers, a series of explosions followed.

The sixth Heavenly Tribulation, which had just formed in the tribulation clouds and was about to descend, was blasted apart by its shot.

Su He was dumbfounded.

He saw the toad stuff another ball of tobacco into the half-transparent cannon barrel and repeat the process, aiming at the tribulation clouds of the Mysterious Wasteland.

“Boom~~~”

“Boom!”

Two explosions, one from the tribulation clouds, the other from the Merit Cannon in the toad’s arms.

The cannon barrel became completely transparent and shattered in an explosion.

“Stop dazing! This little merit is only enough for two shots. Immediately absorb the essence of the world, recover your strength, and try to restore Turtle Mountain. The seventh wave is coming soon! Think of a solution.”

Its heart was bleeding.

These two balls of tobacco were priceless treasures! If exchanged, they could easily fetch two Dragon Turtle mini-worlds!

Here, they were used for fireworks, and then they were gone…

“Is this the root of the World Tree of the Mysterious Realm?” A Dragon Turtle’s thought asked.

“Exactly! This soul beast is not simple at all! How did it manage to get this?” Another Dragon Turtle responded.

This could only be collected at the moment when a ninth-grade soul beast opened up the Mysterious Realm, and the World Tree appeared. Each ball represented the birth of a Mysterious Realm. The two shots just now represented the total output of two Mysterious Realms.

Gone!

The tribulation clouds were dispersed and reformed, taking slightly longer this time. Su He barely had a chance to catch his breath.

“What should we do next?” After absorbing the scattered essence of the world, Su He looked at the slowly condensing tribulation clouds and the brewing seventh Heavenly Tribulation, and asked in his heart.

Communicating with his own soul beast was convenient, as there was no need to speak out loud, everything was in his mind.

The seventh Heavenly Tribulation was a bit special, it was not a thunder tribulation. Judging by the density of the tribulation clouds, could it be a water tribulation?

If you bring this tribulation, I won’t be afraid!

Su He braced himself.

However, the toad looked serious.

“Stop thinking, it’s not the opposite attributes that are scary, but the same ones. Do you think the water tribulation will let you control water? I’m afraid that when this water falls, it’s not something you can control. By then, every drop of water will be a Heavenly Tribulation, surrounding you in the tribulation. Where will you find a way to survive?”

Su He swallowed, his expression becoming serious.

He was suffering from his lack of knowledge.

The toad looked at the two tribulation clouds, which seemed even more furious because they had been dispersed once before. They were like seeking revenge. Even before they had fully condensed, they were already making roaring and tsunami-like sounds.

“Let’s try first, if it doesn’t work, use the White Jade Turtle Shell!”

There was no other way but to do this. It would definitely increase the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but this was the only way to survive.

Su He frowned, “There’s still a lot of Turtle Essence, but I’m afraid my Divine Sense won’t hold up…”

Even if it can’t hold up, it has to!

“Here it comes!” The toad’s voice echoed in his heart.

“Splash!”

“Boom!”

The two tribulation clouds in the sky shattered with a bang. Two waterfalls crashed down – it wasn’t raining, it was pouring!

The water was strange, it didn’t fall vertically. It rushed diagonally towards Su He.

Su He roared, and a wave rose beneath him, completely enveloping him.

Just as he finished, the two waterfalls from the sky crashed down. The wave that enveloped Su He only lasted for a moment before it was dispersed.

Two streams of water spun around, trapping Su He in the middle. Just as the toad had said, he had no control over this water.

The tribulation water of the Mysterious Wasteland was as light as a feather, and he couldn’t float up when he fell into it. The tribulation water of the Emperor’s World was heavier than a thousand pounds, and as soon as he dived into it, he was immediately pressed to the bottom. He couldn’t move at all.

No matter how Su He struggled, he couldn’t lift his body at all.

Ironically, the water only pressed on him. According to Su He’s current strength, if he couldn’t even get up, the rocks and mountains around him should have been crushed. But the rocks and mountains had no problem at all.

Not only that.

He couldn’t breathe underwater!

Moreover, the two streams of water mixed together, instantly turning into a deadly poison. When it fell on the turtle shell, it made a corroding sound, and there were small explosions on his body.

Blood spurted out from the cracks. When it fell into the water, it instantly ignited. Like a source of fire, the flames followed the blood and headed straight for Su He.

“Brother Luo Clan! Pull him out and completely disperse the tribulation clouds. It doesn’t matter if the Dragon Turtle doesn’t do it!” The Divine Sense of the Dragon Turtle from the Emperor’s World came.

Both types of tribulation water were not ordinary. One was similar to the innate Ren Water and the other was similar to the innate Gui Water. But neither was the real thing, they were formed by the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if they were collected, they would only be a ball of world origin essence.

But when they mixed together, they had such an effect. This flame made even him feel palpitations. If he wasn’t a purebred Dragon Turtle, without the body of a Divine Beast, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

“Alright!” The Dragon Turtle from the Mysterious Wasteland sighed lightly, and its claw reached directly towards the battlefield of the two realms.

But at this moment, he saw the little Dragon Turtle shout, “Out!”

A piece of White Jade Turtle Shell floated out from his external space and snapped onto the turtle shell with a click. The entire black Dragon Turtle instantly turned into a jade color. The flames burned to Su He’s front, but they could no longer fall on the turtle shell.

The White Jade Turtle Shell never let him down as always.

Inside the battlefield of the two realms, the thoughts of the two Dragon Turtles were instantly chaotic and excited.

“This is that little girl’s molt!”

This turtle shell was clearly left by Bai Ling. What did the little Dragon Turtle do in Bai Ling’s tomb? Did he dismantle his clan sister’s corpse?Has a traitor finally emerged from my Dragon Turtle clan?

No, that’s not it!

The Turtle Shell of the White Spirit was willingly attached to this little guy, lending him its power.

More than willingly, it was downright eager!

“Is this a coincidence or the arrangement of the White Spirit?” The Dragon Turtle of the Emperor’s World asked softly.

“I don’t know, the White Spirit is mysterious and excels at divination. She can even break through the Heavenly Lock, who knows what she’s thinking?” The two turtles expressed their confusion.

But with the protection of the White Spirit’s Turtle Shell, there was no rush to disperse the Heavenly Tribulation. Let’s see what happens next.

Su He sank to the bottom of the water, his two front claws huddled together, protecting the toad within. The toad’s ethereal body could no longer withstand this Heavenly Tribulation…

The Heavenly Tribulation sensed the White Jade Turtle Shell and instantly expanded several times. The tribulation water rolled down like it was free, hitting the ground with thunderous roars. Each splash of water contained flickering lightning.

The Heavenly Tribulation had actually advanced!

The toad shrank within the turtle’s claws, watching the outside world through Su He and cursing loudly.

Is there no way to survive? Heavenly Tribulation is a test, not annihilation! It’s bad enough that two clouds of tribulation appeared, but now they won’t even let one arm themselves?

Is there no justice in this world!

Su He lay at the bottom of the water, his Mind’s Eye rapidly consuming the Turtle Essence. At the same time, his Divine Sense was rapidly shrinking. The White Jade Turtle Shell could block this water tribulation, but the consumption was several times that of normal.

In just a moment, Su He was already on the verge of collapse. His body went limp.

His claws could no longer hold on tightly, and a stream of water flowed in through the gaps. The toad immediately started hopping mad.

It looked at the raging tribulation water outside, then at Su He, pointing at his nose and cursing, “Damn you! Damn your turtle! I hate you, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!”

Damn it!

In his daze, Su He had a thought. He saw the toad cursing and leaping up, landing on the dragon’s head with a flash.

It was immediately enveloped by the tribulation water, blood gushing from its body. But it didn’t care, it just slapped Su He resentfully. Then it dived into Su He’s Sense Realm.

A soul beast that doesn’t enter the Sense Realm can’t share memories. Once it enters the Sense Realm, it becomes one with the host, truly sharing the same heart and body, with no chance of separation.

They would share glory and loss together for the rest of their lives.

Memories and emotions would be shared.

The toad laughed bitterly, this was a huge loss. How many unspeakable secrets were there in its thousands of years of memories?

Now it had to share memories with a three or four-year-old Dragon Turtle. What did it need your memories for? To watch you fight with other turtles for food, or to see you roll around in the mud?

The toad entered the Sense Realm, and its body instantly dispersed. A pure spiritual power surged into Su He’s Divine Sense – a true soul beast and its master sharing power was just a basic ability.

Replenished, Su He shook his head, his muddled mind gradually clearing. He struggled to leave again.

But he still couldn’t do it.

The tribulation water from the Mysterious Wasteland surged in. Just as he was able to move and crawl at the bottom of the water, the tribulation water from the Emperor’s World attacked again.

Even the waves he conjured were instantly assimilated by them.

There was no solution!

It would be better if the lightning tribulation struck. Although it was dangerous, he could still struggle.

Su He didn’t know what to do.

Time passed hour by hour.

His Divine Sense and Turtle Essence were rapidly consumed. With the toad there, its thousands of years of cultivation, although its combat power was somewhat weakened, its Divine Sense was enough to squander.

But the Turtle Essence was almost gone!

The White Jade Turtle Shell on his body was flickering, about to peel off. A bitter laugh echoed in Su He’s mind. The toad had done its best to completely integrate into the Dragon Turtle’s Sense Realm, but it still couldn’t cross this tribulation.

It wasn’t the turtle’s fault, it was just fate.

If he had chosen another place to cross the tribulation, with the Dragon Turtle’s foundation, he would have been fully confident of getting through – with his appearance and merit, he wouldn’t have been crushed in the Heavenly Tribulation.

How unwilling he was! He didn’t even get to see what the eighth Heavenly Tribulation was.

“Crack!” With a light sound, the White Jade Turtle Shell fell off – this time not only consuming the Turtle Essence and Divine Sense, but also its own consumption was huge. It no longer had the strength to adhere to Su He’s turtle shell.

Blood gushed out instantly. His scales and turtle shell fell off inch by inch.

“I’m sorry~” Su He apologized to the toad in his heart.

A furious voice came from the toad in his mind, “What’s the use of apologizing? Lord Frog has even thrown himself in, think of a way before I die!”

Su He laughed bitterly, this really wasn’t something that could be solved by thinking…

He tried his best to crawl out of the Heavenly Tribulation, but he still couldn’t do it.

“Brother Luo, it’s your turn!” The Sky Dragon Turtle sighed lightly. If he were in this little Dragon Turtle’s shoes, he wouldn’t know what to do either, unless the little Dragon Turtle could fly to the sky and directly disperse the tribulation clouds. Just like the sixth wave.

But Su He couldn’t fly yet!

The Dragon Turtle called Luo also sighed lightly, reaching out his claw towards the battlefield of the two worlds again.

If he didn’t make a move now, this little turtle would dry up. It would be a pity to lose such a promising seedling, a pity to lose a clan member.

His claw passed through the Three Life Gate, landing on the battlefield of the two worlds. Just as he was about to tear it open, he saw a burst of light suddenly shoot out from the little Dragon Turtle.

A rune instantly expanded.

It enveloped the little Dragon Turtle completely. Not only did it isolate the tribulation water, but it also sucked in the tribulation water like a thirsty Glutton.

For a moment, a vortex formed around Su He!

“Hexagram!”

“The Eternal Hexagram!”

Two exclamations from the Dragon Turtles, almost at the same time, the domains of the two Dragon Turtles instantly opened, completely sealing off the entrances to the battlefields of the Emperor’s World and the Mysterious Wasteland, not allowing a single breath to leak out.

Several Divine Senses that had curiously come to explore the new member of the Dragon Turtle clan were directly annihilated by them.

The expressions of the two Dragon Turtles remained unchanged.

They both burst into laughter at the same time, “Haha! Haha! Dragon, Phoenix, Kylin old ghosts! A genius has been born in our clan, achieving Dragon Turtle status in one year. Do you believe that within ten thousand years, our clan will be the most respected among the Four Spirits?”

They had gone too far, directly cutting off the Divine Senses of everyone else.

Hiding the Eternal Hexagram was more important than revealing a genius who had achieved Dragon Turtle status in one year…”Is this the work of that little girl?” The Dragon Turtle of the Emperor’s World asked quietly with his divine sense in the battlefield between the two realms.

The Dragon Turtle of the Mysterious Wasteland gave a bitter smile, “Who else could it be?”

There are too many coincidences.

This little fellow just happened to fall into the White Spirit Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb, just happened to reach the limit of his bloodline inside, and just happened to enter the battlefield between the two realms upon exiting. Moreover, he triggered a thunder tribulation as soon as he entered, and was marked by both worlds without even having a chance to choose.

He also just happened to have the Eternal Hexagram…

And coincidentally, this little girl’s Great Tomb space overlaps with a part of the battlefield between the two realms.

This is clearly a setup!

What is the relationship between this little fellow inside and the White Spirit? Is it worth her making such a big investment?

They don’t believe in coincidences, especially when it involves the White Spirit. What seems like a coincidence is definitely not a coincidence!

“Haha! You two old fellows, what kind of big trouble has your little fellow gotten into that warrants such caution? This is not the treatment that even top talents can receive!” A voice came over.

No one is a fool, especially those old monsters who have lived for countless years.

Immediately, other voices echoed, all coming from other great worlds. From the direction of the Mysterious Gate, a dragon head slowly appeared.

The two turtles laughed but said nothing.

The other beings stopped asking.

Everyone had their own speculations.

If the two turtles were taking this so seriously, it must have something to do with the Dragon Turtle – the Dragon Turtle clan was already among the top beings in all the heavens and worlds, and it wouldn’t have much to do with cultivation. Even if they produced another ancestor-like Dragon Turtle, so what?

We can’t beat them anyway! Even if you produce a Dragon Turtle surpassing the ancestor, I would still be crushed on the ground, what’s the difference? You can’t have one turtle ruling all the heavens and worlds…

Could it be to increase the population of the Dragon Turtles?

Some people took a sharp breath.

The two Dragon Turtles from the two great worlds ignored everyone and looked into the battlefield between the two realms at the same time.

Su He had slowly opened his eyes, looking at the “Eternal” character text that enveloped him, he was a bit dumbfounded for a moment.

His injuries had healed.

The Eternal character text not only pushed away the tribulation water, but was also constantly devouring it. The tribulation cloud above his head was getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

It didn’t appear again!

The toad had already left his sea of consciousness and was sitting on the dragon head, also a bit at a loss.

“Where… where is my heavenly tribulation?” Su He looked up at the sky, the tribulation cloud did not appear again, it was completely gone!

The Nine Waves Heavenly Tribulation, he had passed seven waves, and then the heavenly tribulation was gone!

What was going on?

Did he pass his heavenly tribulation or not?

He looked at the Eternal Hexagram that had already retracted into his body, completely at a loss.

At this moment, a pure essence from somewhere unknown suddenly surged into his body.

The remaining shadow of the Dragon Turtle in his Mind’s Eye gradually dissipated, merging into his limbs and internal organs.

A bead slowly formed inside Su He’s body.

Today there are three updates, ten thousand words are not considered as extra updates, it’s a promise to finish writing about the heavenly tribulation, so no extra updates for the title. The extra updates will be delayed for a while, I need to learn how to write a book first, then add more updates.
