Chapter 1018: The Heaven Tablet, Open!

The gathering of the five elements was a process from quantitative to qualitative change, completely different from the previous heavenly tribulations.

The five elements mutually generate and overcome each other, but under the heavenly tribulation, their mutual overcoming was minimized, while their mutual generation was maximized!

That was why, after the final mass of tribulation clouds appeared, it gave a feeling of world-destroying power.

The first eight rounds of heavenly tribulation were all to brew this ninth round!

Thus Ao Duo judged that this ninth round of heavenly tribulation would consist of only one strike.

This great nine-nine heavenly tribulation could no longer be understood by common logic.

Its terror was far beyond what a great nine-nine heavenly tribulation could compare to.

Ye Yuan's scalp tingled; the power of this great five-element heavenly tribulation was truly too terrifying. If he now had the strength of a Divine King realm, he might try to resist it.

But as he was now, he simply could not resist.

Even with a divine artifact, it was impossible!

Just as Ye Yuan was in despair, Long Teng's voice suddenly entered his mind.

"Ye Yuan, quickly inject the Emperor Qi into the Heaven Tablet!"

Ye Yuan was startled, but there was no time to think. With a thought, he遁入 the Heaven Swallowing Tower.

This scene caught the attention of the dragon clan.

"Eh, where did Ji Qingyun go? How did he disappear?"

"I heard he has a spatial semi-divine artifact. He must have hidden inside, right? But... will that work?"

"The heavenly tribulation directly targets the martial artist himself. Even if he has a spatial divine artifact, he cannot evade the tribulation! And with such a terrifying tribulation, even a semi-divine artifact would probably be damaged, right?"

That Ye Yuan possessed the Heaven Swallowing Tower was no longer a secret, so the dragon clan members quickly guessed where he had gone.

But they thought Ye Yuan was hiding out of fear of the tribulation.

In an instant, Ye Yuan's figure appeared before the Heaven Tablet.

Long Teng's figure also appeared beside him and said, "Fang Tian's heavenly tribulation back then was also very terrifying, but his Dao Profound Heavenly Tribulation only summoned three layers! And you, you've gathered all five elemental tribulations!"

Clearly, Long Teng was also speechless.

When he saw the seventh layer of heavenly tribulation, he knew the situation was bad.

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, since you knew earlier, you should have given me a heads-up! This way, I'll die!"

Long Teng said, "You have the Sacred Dragon Token; passing through three layers of tribulation should have been no problem. Who knew... you would summon the great five-element heavenly tribulation all at once?"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "It seems it must be because of the Soul Suppressing Pearl! No time for nonsense, what should I do?"

"Your Emperor Qi, after being tempered by four layers of heavenly tribulation, is already quite condensed, enough to activate the Heaven Tablet! Inject your Emperor Qi into the Heaven Tablet, and it will resonate with your bloodline, officially activating the Heaven Tablet!" Long Teng said.

Ye Yuan was extremely surprised; he had always thought he could already control the Heaven Tablet, never expecting he hadn't even activated it yet.

To be honest, having obtained the Heaven Swallowing Tower for so long, the Heaven Tablet hadn't helped him much.

No wonder even the Demon God Jialan was so wary of the Heaven Tablet—it turned out that the basic condition for activating it was to step into the Dao Profound realm!

Without Emperor Qi... one simply couldn't open the Heaven Tablet!

Ye Yuan dared not hesitate. He took the Emperor Qi that had just formed in his Yuan Power Sea and injected it all into the Heaven Tablet.

"Boom!"

The Heaven Tablet suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and the entire Heaven Swallowing Tower shook violently.

In an instant, light illuminated the entire Heaven Swallowing Tower.

At that moment, it was as if the Heaven Swallowing Tower had been activated; its volume suddenly expanded dramatically.

The dragon clan members were astonished by this sudden change. At this moment, they saw the true face of that semi-divine artifact!

"Boom!"

A giant pagoda directly stamped down on the Seven Mansions Grand Formation, its majestic aura standing opposite the five-element heavenly tribulation in the sky.

Just then, the great five-element heavenly tribulation crashed down!

Its terrifying might felt as if the entire sky was pressing down!

"Is this Ji Qingyun's final move? Even the Sacred Dragon Token couldn't stop it, so what use is a semi-divine artifact?"

Although the appearance of the Heaven Swallowing Tower was awe-inspiring, Long Zaitian was still very dismissive.

After all, the Sacred Dragon Token was a heavenly divine artifact, even more terrifying than an ordinary divine artifact.

A mere semi-divine artifact wasn't even fit to carry the Sacred Dragon Token's shoes; how could it possibly withstand such a terrifying heavenly calamity?

Ao Duo, however, looked slightly grim and said, "I have a feeling that this semi-divine artifact is somewhat unusual!"

"Its power is decent, but it's still far inferior to the Sacred Dragon Token. No matter how unusual, it's useless, right?" Long Zaitian said disdainfully.

Ao Duo did not refute. Although he also thought it unlikely to block the great five-element heavenly tribulation, he still felt something was off.

Just then, the entire body of the Heaven Swallowing Tower emitted a dazzling golden light, blinding everyone.

Then, a loud bang came from the sky.

Ao Duo's expression changed, and he said, "Not good!"

His figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, the Seven Mansions Grand Formation suddenly blazed with light, trying to block the enormous shockwave.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

Although Ao Duo had enhanced the power of the Seven Mansions Grand Formation, the weaker dragon clan martial artists were still shaken by the terrifying shockwave, spitting blood profusely.

Ao Duo's figure reappeared beside Long Zaitian, and he directly spat out a mouthful of blood. Long Zaitian's expression changed as he supported Ao Duo and said, "Clan leader! You... you're injured?"

Ao Duo waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. This great five-element heavenly tribulation is too terrifying! If I hadn't strengthened the grand formation, many clan members would have died from this shockwave!"

Long Zaitian's face was extremely ugly, and in his heart, he had cursed Ye Yuan countless times.

This guy actually crossed his tribulation within the dragon clan—wasn't he deliberately causing trouble?

"That kid Ji Qingyun should be dead by now, right? If he's not dead, I'd really want to give him two more palms!" Long Zaitian said hatefully.

Ao Duo said, "How could he survive such a powerful heavenly tribulation? The shockwave will dissipate soon. Quickly send people to find the Sacred Dragon Token!"

"Yes, Clan leader!" Long Zaitian replied.

At this moment, the light in the sky had not yet faded, and people had no idea what was happening up there.

But one thing was certain: under such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan was surely dead.

And the five terrifying masses of tribulation clouds were slowly dissipating.

The pressure grew lighter and lighter, and the dragon clan members finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Experiencing the great five-element heavenly tribulation at such close range was truly unbearable.

It was one thing to watch such a thing, but being caught in the shockwave of the tribulation was too terrifying.

If not for the clan leader, who knows how many dragon clan members would have died today.

Soon, the tribulation clouds dissipated completely, and the golden light released by the Heaven Swallowing Tower gradually faded and disappeared.

The moment the light completely faded, all the dragon clan members curiously cast their gazes toward the sky.

And then... their eyes went wide!
