Chapter 2016: This mouth of mine!

Translator: GodBrandy 

Song Shuhang’s drool disappeared in an instant.

How am I supposed to eat a sound tribulation?

What he wanted to eat was a braised lightning tribulation and not a sound tribulation, so there was a sudden sense of loss in his heart. However, after recalling Pavilion Master Chu’s words that he should maintain his image as the first Sage in a thousand years, Shuhang arduously kept a smile on his face.

Sonic booms echoed in the sky.

In addition to the classic five elements, there were many other kinds of heavenly tribulation, and the sound tribulation was one of the relatively special ones.

!!
The sound tribulation was invisible and difficult to guard against, but in terms of pure offensive power, it was much weaker than that of a lightning tribulation of the same level.

When the sonic booms ended, Ding Gan was covered in blood, with blood oozing out of his eye sockets and ears.

The tribulation-transcending formations of cultivators that were transcending their Third Stage heavenly tribulation were usually meant to defend against lightning bolts. They were not prepared for sound tribulations. This sound tribulation could be said to be rather mean with how it had sucker-punched Ding Gan.

It was as if you were told that you were going to have a math exam that day, but were then forced to take a Russian exam that you were completely unprepared for.

It would make you feel really vexed.

This was how Ding Gan felt right now.

The attack method the sound tribulation used was relatively simple. It mainly attacked through shock waves, occasionally mixing some illusory sound attacks in it.

Nevertheless, it was fortunate that it was only a Third Stage heavenly tribulation. If it was a Sixth Stage sound tribulation, with how the heavenly tribulation was behaving recently, perhaps it would’ve mimicked a concert of Dharma King Creation, one without Fairy Creation’s blessings to it.

After suffering three waves of the sound tribulation, Ding Gan began to adapt to the attack pattern.

By using defensive techniques, along with the strengthening effect of the tribulation-transcending formation on his body, he was barely able to withstand the attacks of the sound tribulation.

As long as there was no sudden mishap, he should be able to hold out until the end of the Third Stage heavenly tribulation.

Flashes of lightning could be seen among the tribulation clouds, but no lightning struck down.

Wave after wave of the sound tribulation kept on coming, shaking Ding Gan to the core.

Ding Gan was completely covered in blood by now, and his limbs had become numb. However, due to the sound tribulation’s lack of lethality, his overall state was actually not that bad. He just looked very miserable.

❄️❄️❄️

Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair said, “This is the last wave.”

She had been paying attention to the tribulation clouds the entire time.

The next wave should be the last wave of this heavenly tribulation.

If Ding Gan survived, then he would ascend to the Third Stage Realm. But if he failed, he might die.

“Rumble~”

During the last wave, a lightning bolt descended.

Inside the tribulation-transcending formation, Ding Gan’s eyes lit up.

[Thank you, Sage Monarch White!]

He was now almost certain that he’d be able to transcend this Third Stage heavenly tribulation.

His tribulation-transcending formation had been devised to deal with a lightning tribulation. Unfortunately, the previous waves of the tribulation had all been sound attacks.

With the almost intact tribulation-transcending formation and the relatively decent state of his body, he could resist this last wave of the tribulation!

Song Shuhang’s and Senior White’s eyes also shone.

The lightning tribulation had finally come!

The unfortunate thing was that there was only one wave of lightning tribulation…

“Boom~” The last wave of the tribulation violently crashed down onto the tribulation-transcending formation.

“Formation arts—lightning protection formation, lightning governing formation, heavenly dragon formation, lightning reduction formation…” Ding Gan, who was covered in blood, shouted aloud.

In one breath, he activated all of the formations within the tribulation-transcending formation to contend against the lightning.

All in all, there were about 20 formations, and it felt great when he unleashed them all.

It was as if you had a royal flush in poker, and you were able to last until you finally managed to bring it out.

The might of the lightning tribulation was vast, but after crashing down on the formation, the lightning bounced back.

The 20 formations working together produced a wonderful effect.

After the lightning tribulation was bounced back, with no surprise, it shot straight toward Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang laughed and said, “Hahaha, I knew things would turn out like this!”

As soon as the tribulation lightning landed, he had such a feeling in his heart. The heavenly tribulation had some fate with him, and it would definitely jump towards him in the end.

There was no basis for this feeling. It was simply a cultivator’s intuition.

Therefore, he had already secretly prepared for this.

Sure enough, his intuition turned out to be right!

As the bolt of lightning shot toward him, his wooden body stretched out its hand and worked together with his head to mobilize a vast amount of psychic energy.

The lightning tribulation was forced to halt in mid-air.

Song Shuhang started rubbing his hands, and the huge bolt of lightning seemed as if it was sandwiched by two invisible hands and rubbed non-stop.

Sparks flew everywhere, and electricity crackled.

The majestic lightning tribulation was rubbed into a cylindrical shape under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.

Ding Gan could not help but gulp. Without the help of the tribulation-transcending formation, this single bolt of tribulation lightning would have seriously injured him or killed him directly.

Yet, this terrifying bolt of lightning was rubbed and flattened in the hands of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song; it could not resist at all.

“Senior White!” Song Shuhang exclaimed after rubbing the tribulation lightning into its current form.

Senior White crossed through space and arrived beside the lightning tribulation. He stretched out his hand, and a sealing rune appeared and wrapped around the lightning tribulation, instantly sealing it.

“It’s done.” Song Shuhang snapped his fingers and transferred the sealed lightning tribulation into his Inner World.

Ding Gan, his two senior sisters, and his master all stared at Profound Sage Tyrannical Song and Sage Monarch White in shock.

These two Sage Monarchs could actually use spatial power!

Sage Monarch White teleported, while Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s snapped his fingers to transfer the lightning tribulation without the use of a cosmos bag.

The Profound Sages nowadays were truly terrifying!

After Song Shuhang put away the lightning tribulation, he smiled at Senior White and said, “Senior White, let’s have a nice meal tonight.”

“Okay.” Senior White smiled back.

However, his smile lasted only for a moment.

The main reason was that only half of his real body was here, and the control he had over his charm was not as perfect as before. If he were to smile for too long, he could affect the beings around him.

Song Shuhang paused slightly. He then glanced at his wooden body and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he looked at Ding Gan again. “Congratulations, Little Fellow Daoist Ding Gan.”

When the virtuous lamia heard his words, she jumped out, wanting to speak out her line. But before she could speak, she was wrapped up by Pavilion Master Chu’s hair and sent back into Song Shuhang’s body.

Half of the virtuous lamia’s small head stuck out from Song Shuhang’s back, her eyes full of grievances.

Ding Gan cupped his fists and said, “Thank you for your help, Senior Tyrannical Song.”

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Song Shuhang waved his hand and said, “This time, your inner demon did not give rise to an inner demon tribulation. When you go home, you should strengthen your will and let your inner demon transform… F*ck, this mouth of mine!”

Inside the tribulation-transcending formation, Ding Gan curled up in pain.

Behind him, there was a cluster of distorted, love-type inner demons. Through the power of the heavenly tribulation, they had materialized into an inner demon tribulation.
