865 Divine Weapon Battling the Heavenly Tribulation (2)
“Oh no! If Heaven locks onto the location of the Sima Grotto-Heaven, the people inside will be plunged into misery and suffering!” Ji Lutian said solemnly.
Grotto-heavens and Heaven were two irreconcilable parties. Originally, grotto-heavens were independent of the world, and even Heaven found it difficult to lock onto their locations.
But now, the weapon Zhou Shu had forged had attracted a heavenly tribulation and directly exposed the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s location.
“We have to get him to leave the Sima Grotto-Heaven immediately. Otherwise, once Heaven locks onto the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s location, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Ji Lutian said in a deep voice.
Zheng Jingyun’s expression turned extremely ugly. Of course he knew what Ji Lutian was talking about.
But he had just ordered Zheng Chengan to lock down the Sima Grotto-Heaven and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
Now he had to change his orders?
It wasn’t a problem to change his orders.
The problem was that once they left the Sima Grotto-Heaven, would the Sima Grotto-Heaven be able to keep the connate divine weapon that Zhou Shu had forged?
Before Zhou Shu started forging, Zheng Jingyun was very confident that even if they left the Sima Grotto-Heaven, he wouldn’t be afraid that Ji Lutian and Zhou Shu would take the item away.
But now, he really didn’t have the confidence anymore. A person who had mastered the Laws of Time was truly unimaginable.
“Zheng Jingyun! If you delay any longer, the entire Sima Grotto-Heaven will be destroyed because of your selfishness!” Ji Lutian shouted.
Zheng Jingyun gritted his teeth. At this moment, he couldn’t worry about anything else. “Follow me!”
He took the lead, soared into the sky, and opened the exit of the Sima Grotto-Heaven.
Zheng Chengan felt that the exit of the Sima Grotto-Heaven had been opened. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure.
He immediately shrank back.
This person was really strange. On the one hand, he had asked him to lock down the Sima Grotto-Heaven, and on the other hand, he had opened the exit himself. What was going on?
Then Zheng Chengan saw two figures follow Zheng Jingyun out of the Sima Grotto-Heaven.
Zheng Chengan hesitated for a moment but didn’t stop them. Anyway, the ancestor had brought them out himself. If anything happened, Zheng Chengan wouldn’t be the one taking the blame.
But what was with the thunder just now? Why did it sound like a lightning tribulation?
Also, why does the person holding a ball of golden light feel familiar? Who is it?
Zheng Chengan thought in puzzlement. Then he shook his head. Why was he thinking so much? Now that the ancestor had opened the exit himself, should he continue to move the humans in?
They didn’t have much time left. There were still a lot of people outside who hadn’t migrated in yet.
…
Not to mention the Sima Grotto-Heaven’s reaction, Zhou Shu had already followed Zheng Jingyun and Ji Lutian out of the Sima Grotto-Heaven and once again arrived in the depths of the Endless Sea, far away from the Sima Grotto-Heaven.
The last time he had done this was to let Zheng Jingyun test the power of the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod.
This time, it was for the heavenly tribulation!
When Heaven couldn’t bear to see something appear, a lightning tribulation would descend from the sky to destroy it. Of course, there was also a saying that Heaven wanted to use the lightning tribulation to cause a qualitative change in the object. After all, when a martial artist broke through to the Grotto-Heaven realm, there was still a success rate in transcending the tribulation.
In any case, the divine weapon Zhou Shu had forged had to withstand the test of the heavenly tribulation.
Previously, when he successfully forged the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod, it had also experienced this step. At the time, the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod had directly scattered the thunderclouds filling the sky.
But this lightning tribulation seemed to be more than a hundred times more powerful than the previous one.
Within a radius of thousands of kilometers, the sky was already so dark that people couldn’t even see their own fingers. The sky was full of thick thunderclouds. Thunder rumbled, and lightning that looked like long dragons shuttled through the thunderclouds.
A deafening thunderclap echoed between heaven and earth, as if it was brewing immense destructive power.
“Go. This is your first battle in the world. You must show off!” Zhou Shu raised his hand and threw the ball of golden light. It soared into the sky. Before the lightning struck, it took the initiative to charge into the thunderclouds.
Boom!
Among the thunderclouds, loud noises sounded incessantly. The thick thunderclouds continue to roll, and the sky seems to be twisted into a mess.
This mighty power made Ji Lutian and Zheng Jinyun both a little frightened.
On the other hand, Zhou Shu stood in the air confidently with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
Zheng Jingyun looked at Zhou Shu’s back and asked Ji Lutian in a low voice, “Ji Lutian, who is he?”
In his eyes, Zhou Shu was an out-and-out expert. Not only did he grasp the Laws of Time, but he also had extraordinary forging techniques. Facing this situation, he was still able to remain so calm. This was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
“I can’t tell you his origins now.” Ji Lutian shook his head. Zhou Shu was already dead in front of the world. Now that Zhou Shu didn’t want to come forward, Ji Lutian naturally wouldn’t reveal his identity.
“Why can’t you tell me? You don’t trust me?” Zheng Jingyun frowned.
“It’s not a matter of whether I trust you or not.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “It’s a little complicated. Don’t ask.”
Ji Lutian looked at the sky. “Shouldn’t you be concerned about that divine weapon now?”
The thick thunderclouds in the sky were already thinning under the attack of the ball of golden light. It wouldn’t be long before they disappeared.
Such a tribulation transcendence was really an eye-opener.
How was this a tribulation transcendence? This was simply a divine weapon torturing a heavenly tribulation.
But even at this moment, Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun still couldn’t see what kind of weapon was in the golden light.
It was unknown what was going on with the ball of golden light, but it seemed to be able to isolate their vision.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the ball of golden light finally dispersed the thunderclouds filling the sky.
Light reappeared within a radius of thousands of kilometers.
At the same time, the ball of golden light exploded with a bang. In an instant, it seemed to become a small sun.
Ji Lutian and Zheng Jingyun couldn’t help covering their eyes with their hands. The next moment, they felt the light disappear. They lowered their palms and looked forward.
In front of them, a three-foot-long sword quietly floated in the air.
The sword had a very strange shape. It had four sides, and each side seemed to be engraved with profound pictures and words.
Even from a distance, the two of them could still feel the dignified aura emanating from the sword.
“This…”
Their pupils constricted at the same time.
“This sword belongs to my Sima Grotto-Heaven. No one can take it away!” Zheng Jingyun shouted. With a flash, he erupted with all his speed and instantly arrived in front of the sword. He reached out and grabbed it.
“Zheng Jingyun!” Ji Lutian shouted.
He also erupted with his aura and rushed toward Zheng Jingyun as quickly as possible, wanting to stop him.
But Zheng Jingyun’s strength was not inferior to his. He already had a head start, so it was easier said than done to stop him.
Ji Lutian could only place his hopes on Zhou Shu, who was closer, but Zhou Shu didn’t seem to see Zheng Jingyun’s actions. He just stood with his hands behind his back, having no intention of stopping Zheng Jingyun.
It was as if the ownership of this sword had nothing to do with him.
In fact, according to the agreement between Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian, after this divine weapon was forged, its ownership indeed had nothing to do with Zhou Shu.
Ji Lutian cursed in his heart. The spiritual essence in his body surged, and his speed increased by 30%. Every divine weapon was useful to him. Zheng Jingyun already had the Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod. He couldn’t give him this sword!
Although Ji Lutian was fast, Zheng Jingyun was even faster. His hand had already touched the hilt of the sword and was about to grab it.
Suddenly, the sword let out a dragon’s roar, and a powerful light erupted from the blade.
