My Master Knows It All

871: 245 871: 245 Cao Zhen was wholeheartedly attacking the Fourth Prince, and without blocking the Heavenly Tribulation, he was instantly bombarded into critical injuries.

However, all the defensive techniques and Divine Skills of the Fourth Prince were broken by him.

Just like him, the Fourth Prince had to directly face all the Heavenly Tribulations falling in the midst of the Tribulation Array, and moreover, he had to confront Cao Zhen’s terrifying sword.

Even Cao Zhen himself was not completely sure that he could withstand such an attack.

The terrifying sword even fell towards the Fourth Prince before the Heavenly Tribulation touched down.

The Fourth Prince saw the sword which seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, piercing through the sun and the moon.

Yet, in his eyes, a craze emerged.

Just now he had released two treasures, used not only to block Cao Zhen’s attack but also to buy time.

In the moments that the two treasures intervened, he also took out a transparent bead and held it in his hand.

Almost the instant Cao Zhen’s sword fell, he crushed the bead in his hand.

The sword light plummeted, and various forms of Sword Qi—whether supremely sharp, intensely hot, or as heavy as mountains—entered his body, instantly shredding his clothes, tearing his skin, crushing his flesh, and rushing inside him.

In that moment, he even felt all the meridians in his body severing.

Just in an instant, his breath was completely cut off.

Breath cut off?

A look of confusion appeared on Cao Zhen’s face; his sword attack had indeed surpassed his past efforts, and he had never wielded such a powerful sword before.

This sword had also consecutively broken through the Fourth Prince’s two treasures, and its might had diminished somewhat.

If it had been the Eclipse Demon or Nie Jie whom he was attacking, perhaps a single sword strike could have killed them, but his opponent was the Fourth Prince.

Such a strike shouldn’t have been enough to kill the Fourth Prince.

Yet, the breath of the Fourth Prince had completely disappeared, and even…

In front of the Fourth Prince, two diagrams that had always hovered around him suddenly flew out and landed before Cao Zhen.

Not good!

Cao Zhen’s eyes suddenly widened.

As the diagrams fell, the varieties of Heavenly Tribulations falling from the void surged, and even some that had originally fallen towards the Fourth Prince now shifted towards him instead.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Prince had also opened his eyes, looking at Cao Zhen with a smile full of a victor’s joy.

What he had just released was the False Death Heaven Deceiving Orb, originally a treasure to help those undergoing Heavenly Tribulation.

Once released, the user’s entire breath would disappear, even deceiving the Heavenly Dao momentarily.

Previously, he had noticed that there had been someone behind them, and although following them would also subject the follower to more Heavenly Tribulations, the follower endured fewer tribulations than he and Cao Zhen did.

Moreover, the Tribulation Array had descended because of that sudden force, a force that completely surpassed the Golden Core Stage.

He and Cao Zhen were both at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, but even the force of their combined attacks couldn’t free them from this pull.

Thus, it was clear that the Tribulation Array had descended because of this force.

Moreover, it was related to the diagrams above their heads.

The reason they had been able to continuously fly was because of these diagrams.

Even more, the target of these diagrams was likely to bring both of them to the final relic, letting them decide the victor, and the winner would receive the legacy of the relic.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao had also noticed this, targeting both of them, which was why they faced so many Heavenly Tribulations.

Now, his breath had vanished instantly, and just as he had predicted, the diagrams had flown to Cao Zhen.

So, this way, although he would still be bombarded by Heavenly Tribulations, he endured far fewer than he had before.

But as for Cao Zhen, he had to endure more Heavenly Tribulations, because previously the Heavenly Dao had targeted both of them, but now it targeted Cao Zhen alone!

Even if Cao Zhen was strong, even if he was a reincarnated being of Great Ability, he couldn’t possibly withstand so many Heavenly Tribulations!

As for the final relic’s legacy?

Cao Zhen was about to die, how could he obtain the legacy?

If Cao Zhen couldn’t obtain the legacy, as he expected, those diagrams would fly out again, then letting everyone fight over them.

If Cao Zhen was out of the picture, he would have already seized the final legacy.

Once Cao Zhen died, with no one to compete against him, wouldn’t the legacy be his?

He only needed to fight for the legacy once more.

And in the end, he would obtain the legacy and have killed both his third brother and Cao Zhen.

The final winner would still be him.

Therefore, in Immortal Cultivation, personal cultivation is indeed important, but it’s also crucial to use one’s intellect.

Although the breath of the Fourth Prince had been severed, Heavenly Tribulations still bombarded him from around him, only in lesser numbers.

Moreover, as the two diagrams fell onto Cao Zhen, the gravitational pull on him also vanished, and his body uncontrollably fell downwards, reducing the might of the Heavenly Tribulations momentarily.

In his view, above his head, countless Heavenly Tribulations fell towards Cao Zhen.

Just as Cao Zhen was about to be reduced to dust by these countless Heavenly Tribulations, suddenly, in the void above, an immensely large palace emerged, magnificent and filled with an ethereal aura, with fairy-like music emanating from within the palace amidst the swirling fairy mist.

Following that, the palace gates suddenly burst open, and Cao Zhen flew into the palace with astonishing speed.
