Chapter 1202
"Sizzle~"
The fingertips rubbed the collar, ironing out a burnt smell.
"If you roast it any longer, it will be burnt. I don't care about this treasure garment. Give it to me, modify it, and leave it for my disciple to wear."
"Why is the weather so humid and stifling today? It's dry and cold in winter; it shouldn't be like this, right?"
Wu Lingxu loosened his fingers and turned his neck. The friction between his collar and the skin of his neck always felt like the discomfort of clothes that couldn't be dried in the sun on a rainy day and had to be slowly air-dried. Even if he urged his blood to steam it dry, the dampness would attach to it again in a short while. It was too unusual.
"Is it going to rain heavily?" Fei Taiyu looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through the dome, and the chess piece between his fingers fell. "When a person lives long enough, they always encounter some unusual weather..."
Thick dark clouds gathered in the distance, and two flashes of white light flickered in the gray-black interior.
"Pitter-patter..."
The meat pills of the remains of the net-sized Great Demon followed the blood trough, jumping non-stop. The scarlet little pills rolled to the bottom and melted, clinging to the Ghost Mother like viscous blood, penetrating the interior.
In the Ghost Mother cave, the red light was hazy, one real and one virtual, one bright and one dark, one clear and one blurry...
Two palms supported the treasure bottle, flipping over each other like lotus leaves, reflecting on the stone wall. The slender, beautiful, and clean Ghost Mother arms were like gray snakes entangled, suddenly overlapping.
The "Death" position small star body slowly converted to the "Life" position!
In an instant.
Everyone and every beast in the Marsh Kingdom felt a powerful suction force, intending to take them away from here. Their bodies could not help but sink downward, as if sinking into the abyss of the seabed, with nowhere to rely on in heaven or earth.
"Croak!" The Frog Mobile Corps Commander was panicked, hugging the big anchor tightly and kicking its frog legs.
"Croak." The Fat Catfish desperately flicked its small fins on both sides, struggling to swim upward.
Wu Wu Cangshou took a step, jumped hard, landed on the top of the Fat Catfish's head, patted its turtle claws, and urged it to climb faster—no, swim harder.
The afterimage flipped overhead, and colorful light flickered.
The Old Toad, having broken through the hard stone skin, jumped out and did not fall for a long time. It hugged its frog legs in the air, used the rolling to hover, performed a no-dead-angle rotation, and released its power.
Pieces of gray-white toad skin were torn off, thrown away by the Old Toad, and swallowed by the frog mouth before they were thrown away.
Head, back, abdomen, buttocks, hands, legs... until the last arm limb, all were shed, leaving only two thin pieces on the frog eyes.
The Old Toad did not stop; it was still turning.
"Is it done yet?" Wu Wu Cangshou didn't understand. Clearly, the Old Toad had set the time, so why was everyone almost unable to hold on, and the matter wasn't over yet? He urged repeatedly.
"Hardships and difficulties, jade is formed by grinding." Liang Qu felt a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly, "Congratulations to Frog Elder! Congratulations to Frog Elder! Achievement of Great Demon!
Great is the divine and holy, returning to the thinness with time. Born in response to luck, following heaven and acting. The dragon leaps magnificently, the roc flies in the vastness. Occupying the frog sect, finally wild heaven title!"
"Sizzle."
Seven-colored treasure light dazzled people's eyes, flashing until they couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly.
With bits of debris, the Old Toad grabbed with its two webs, tore off the last two pieces of gray stone toad skin on its frog eyes, swallowed them into its mouth, stretched its limbs, and its whole body's light converged rapidly, landing heavily and croaking wildly at the sky.
The frog croak was astonishing, resounding through heaven and earth, even piercing through the Marsh Kingdom and circling the Blood River.
The big fish on the riverbed flicked their tails in panic, and ripples suddenly appeared.
Liang Qu opened his eyes wide.
In terms of body shape, it hadn't changed, still a spherical figure one person high and one person wide.
In terms of color, what a thick green oil paint!
The Old Toad was originally brownish-yellow with a bit of sky blue, the most common color among the frog tribe, with a round pure white belly and toad bumps on the two ridges on its back.
Now the bumps have turned dark gold, and the color of the epidermis still looks green at first glance, but it actually has a layer of seven-colored "oil light," as if machine oil is floating on the water surface, opening a layer of seven-colored rainbow film viewed from the side, and the colors are constantly changing!
It looked extraordinary just by looking at it.
"Croak!!!"
The frog webs stretched, passed through the water flow, and held hands tightly.
"Magistrate Liang, I accept the praise, I am deeply moved!"
"Frog Elder, praising goodness does not exceed its beauty, and criticizing evil does not overflow its faults. Throughout history, among demons, only Frog Elder is a frog! Great Demon, also only Frog Elder is a frog! From now on, Demon King, even more so Frog Elder!"
"Magistrate Liang! Thinking of high danger, then think of humility and self-cultivation."
"Frog Elder! A humble gentleman, humble and self-cultivating."
"Liang..."
"You two, stop talking nonsense. The heavenly tribulation is almost piercing into the Underworld. Is it done yet? Didn't you say that being discovered by people in the Underworld is death? If it's done, get out. Sooner or later, you'll be struck. Stretching your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife! You can't hide!" Wu Wu Cangshou stood on the head of the Fat Catfish and cursed, not even caring about calling the Prince of Huai.
"Frog Elder, how is it?" Liang Qu looked forward to it.
Pay after use, just waiting for this moment!
The Old Toad was refreshed, no longer decadent and old. It put its two webs on its hips and waved its arms: "This public has become a Great Demon. A small lightning tribulation, I can handle it! Now listen to my command, I want to make the following deployment..."
Boom~
Dark clouds lowered lightning, striking into the Blood River, exposing the riverbed, with a circle of glazed stones around it.
"No time to command, Frog Elder, go out and deploy!"
Letting the Heaven Fire Sect discover that they can come and go freely, and provoking the heavenly tribulation to fall into the Underworld, must be a disaster. Liang Qu gave up resistance, grabbed the Old Toad's claws, and let the entire Marsh Kingdom follow the traction and sink downward.
It felt like riding a roller coaster, with coolness in the lower abdomen.
The Old Toad and the Frog Mobile Corps Commander screamed.
Not long after.
Everyone and every beast falling continuously showed joy, seeing their own "body" exactly the same as themselves again. At the same time, the Old Toad's "body" also underwent transformation, covered with a layer of stone skin, and bloomed with countless cracks, overflowing with seven-colored treasure light.
The Old Toad was overjoyed.
Eat one more time!
The frog tribe's ascension and growth, like snakes and lizards, will all shed their skin, and the toad skin shed by the frog tribe is a great tonic.
Traction, sinking.
The transparent diaphragm feeling was transmitted again. Everyone and every beast paused, fell into their own shells, turned from death to life, and merged into one...
"Boom..."
Long Long Eying stared at the sculpture, and the Sea Fang Master waited outside.
The fishing boats on the pier rose and fell with the waves, colliding and making sounds. The door and the threshold collided. The red spring couplets pasted with glutinous rice paste were torn off half a strip and danced wildly in the air. The corner of the "Fu" character shook violently. The strong wind rolled up fallen leaves, withered grass, and sand, piling up ripples on the river surface.
Big Fat and Second Fat's two frog legs trembled, and the Great Demon of the Turtle tribe half-retracted its head and looked around.
The Martial Saints and Demon Kings walked in the position of the Big Dipper, their eyes fixed on the dark clouds covering the top.
The white light flashed and disappeared, followed by surging thunder, and the branch-shaped electric tree grew.
Here it comes again!
The violent lightning strike just now was a feint, and now it is boiling again. Will it be a real heavenly tribulation?
A thunderbolt from the blue sky, electricity rolling like stars.
A thunder dragon circled and roared down!
The thunder dragon fell in mid-air, its posture twisting, its dragon head ferocious. It did not strangely disappear in mid-air, but fell straight down.
"It's real!"
The Prince of Xu Yue was convinced in his heart. The spear tip in his hand flashed, and he shook his wrist. The long spear wrapped around the thunder dragon, grasped the direction, and the spear shaft bent and flicked. The spear head flicked, and the thunder dragon was split into two, turning into two small dragons intersecting and circling their heads.
Behind the Prince of Xu Yue, the Golden Bright King Buddha sat cross-legged, the Buddha body a hundred feet tall, and the golden light hands grabbed them respectively, clenching their fists and crushing them. The two small dragons collapsed into one hundred thousand electric snakes, leading into the Great Marsh.
The surging Great Marsh flashed with white light, and the bottom of the water brightened for a moment. Big Fat and Second Fat suddenly felt numb all over, like eating fish when they were young, bitten hard on the tongue by the fish finding an opportunity.
Uncomfortable, but acceptable.
"Not over!"
The Prince of Su whispered, his footsteps changed, pulling the Prince of Xu Yue and the Bright King backward.
The electricity is shining and the dragon is leaping, the thunder is rumbling and the rain is dark.
Thunder fell, rain fell, and the wind was even stronger.
Heavy rain poured down.
The second electric dragon mixed with rain, illuminating heaven and earth in the darkness, falling straight down.
The dragon body's electric arcs jumped along the raindrops, leading out, as if a floating mane grew all over its body.
Under the leadership of the Prince of Su, he pulled the trend of heaven and earth.
"Big Dipper" turned the "spoon head." The Frog King was in front, the Turtle King was next. The Frog King took the lead and soared into the sky. The dark red big anchor stretched and hooked the twisting electric dragon. The Frog King held the anchor handle with its webs, twisted, pulled, and tugged, picking off the dragon head.
The dragon head and dragon body separated and fell.
The Turtle King retracted all five limbs, turning into a black and shiny big shell, pushed hard, and the black turtle shell smashed the dragon head and dragon body, then turned into one hundred thousand electric snakes, sliding along the smooth turtle shell, and the Great Marsh brightened again.
The frog tribe and the turtle tribe shook.
Breaking the trend, decomposing, guiding...
A small test of the sword, no difficulty. The Prince of Xu Yue and the Bright King who took the lead even recovered faster because of their cooperation and restraint. At this moment, there was no trace of their shots. Even if the thunder dragon was ten times stronger, they could weaken it layer by layer and withstand it without injury.
If it really fell one by one...
Boom~
The lightning pool boiled again, and the clear water that had been brewing in the copper pot for a long time finally boiled.
The Frog King carried the big anchor on its shoulder, and the Prince of Xu Yue gripped the long spear tightly. Seeing in the dark clouds, the viscous electric plasma turned into liquid, and a light blue thunder dragon revealed its dragon tail. Immediately after, the second, the third, the fourth...
Mixed with deep blue in the light blue, and purple light faintly flashed and jumped in the deep blue.
Dense dragon bodies intersected, and in the lightning pool, groups of dragons danced wildly!
Obviously! Things are not always fulfilled, and things do not flourish together. The heavenly tribulation will not fall one by one.
Three thunder dragons struck down at the same time!
"Splash."
The spring couplets could no longer hold on, were torn off the lintel by the wind, rolled into the high sky, and shattered into pieces of paper.
Spear tip and big anchor came out together.
The Great Marsh flashed one after another.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. How could the heavenly tribulation come one by one?" General Yuan in the center of the Big Dipper withstood the falling thunder, waved his claws to smash the small dragon, and led it to the Great Marsh. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of a gap in the turtle claws on his hand and felt heartache. "Damn it, how can a demon ascending to a Great Demon be more powerful than a Demon King?"
The heavenly tribulation has spirit.
Three are not enough, five more!
The Big Dipper formation can be seven-in-one to a certain extent.
The Prince of Su and the Prince of Jing, as the eyes of the formation, each smashed one. The Frog King and the Prince of Xu Yue repeated their old tricks, and then led by General Yuan, they waved their claws to share the fifth one, and their state inevitably declined.
Big Fat and Second Fat trembled one after another. Dozens of Great Demons shared it. The small thunder led down was not fatal, but being electrocuted gave them an unspeakable fear.
"Careful!"
The Prince of Su suddenly shouted.
Everyone felt something in their hearts. Two hundred miles away, in the eastern water, three "stones in the river" suddenly condensed into one, then flashed and disappeared, and floated to their feet again.
Everyone and every beast boosted their spirits, knowing that the main character had appeared. This is the real moment of confrontation!
Almost at the same time.
The Great Marsh was pitch black, and the dark clouds were also pitch black. Only in the center of heaven and earth, the electric light was bright.
The divine waves surged, galloping and cracking, and the thunder roared.
The momentum of the tribulation cloud rose again.
Ten thunder dragons roared down!
The electric network was dense, illuminating the pupils.
Heaven and earth alternated between light and dark. A thirty-foot-tall ape jumped and stepped into the air, breaking out of the water!
Liang Qu grabbed the seven inches of the four thunder dragons with both hands and feet at the same time. While roaring, he clenched the dragon bodies, slapped and shattered them. The remaining six surrounded and attacked, but were blocked by the spear tip and the Buddha's true steel.
Boom!
The gale blew away the water mist.
The Golden Buddha bloomed with cracks and slowly repaired; General Yuan shattered half a turtle claw and shouted in pain.
Looking at the White Ape again, its hair was slightly burnt, its palms were scorched, but it was unharmed. Wrapped in the Marsh Kingdom's vortex water, it recovered in the blink of an eye.
"Ape King..." The Prince of Su's gaze was serious.
Last year, when the Flood Dragon swam upstream, he saw with his own eyes the White Ape that had just ascended to Demon King. Looking at it now, its aura was so surging, only a span of a year and a half.
"Is it the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor..."
Suddenly, the flying movement was even more astonishing, and a thunderbolt lived like a dragon and snake.
The more blockers there were, the more the lightning pool boiled completely. It didn't give people a chance to breathe at all. The moment the White Ape jumped out of the Underworld, the heavenly tribulation and Duobao were only separated by a Marsh Kingdom. They could no longer block the scattered thunder dragons from finding their targets, and groups of dragons poked their heads!
"Little Water!"
"Understood."
Liang Qu dodged sideways, waving water columns to bombard the thunder dragons. The burning pain spread to his palms, and the lightning hit the stick like a poisonous snake.
Unlike what the Prince of Su imagined, the White Ape did not perform as easily as it seemed. This heavenly tribulation had extremely strong penetration. Looking at the Prince of Su and others, it shouldn't have been so exaggerated.
Is it 【Spirit Transformation】?
Every time he transforms into a spirit, he draws the White Ape's appearance seen by others from the water. Thinking of this, Liang Qu urged his heart fire. In an instant, water mist filled the air, and was controlled to roll back, gradually replacing the White Ape transformed by 【Spirit Transformation】 in the river, making it distilled water, and the burning pain in his palms was greatly reduced.
It works!
Thunder dragons danced wildly, never stopping for a moment. Surging heavenly steel, supernatural powers, and techniques also filled heaven and earth.
The Buddha joined his palms, mysterious soldiers shuttled, and the big anchor and turtle shell intersected.
Sharp light crisscrossed around the Prince of Su, gnawing the thunder dragons to the bone like locusts, and they disappeared without a trace; the Prince of Jing transformed into a clone, the clone disappeared, and the thunder dragon also disappeared.
Liang Qu jumped and supported all parties, dancing water dragon columns, stirring up surging vortices.
A full nine sixth-realm experts worked together, and the heavenly tribulation could not help them for a while. However, both sides must decide a winner, and no matter what, don't try to compete with heaven and earth for endurance.
It seems that supporting it is no problem, but it is actually boiling a frog in warm water.
Where is the turning point?
"Frog Elder! Where are your commands and deployments?" Liang Qu asked urgently while waving the dragon column to smash the thunder dragon.
The Old Toad grabbed the Fat Catfish's long whiskers: "Move five miles to the left, use that move of Magistrate Liang's to set up a water column! Pierce through them!"
Without asking what it was for, Liang Qu looked back: "Prince of Su! I need an opportunity!"
"Good!"
Without asking, the Prince of Su took half a step, the phantom of the stars in the sky manifested, blocking the falling thunder.
The White Ape clenched his fists, grabbed out of thin air, and the whole Great Marsh shook like a bed sheet, grabbing a water dragon rushing into the sky from the center, connecting to the Yellow Springs below and the clouds above.
The Old Toad grabbed again: "Three miles to the right, insert again!"
The thunder dragon circled and struck down.
The Prince of Su raised his hand and grabbed, grabbing the dragon tail in front of the White Ape, throwing the thunder dragon out, and it was slashed and shattered by the Prince of Jing who bullied him.
The White Ape roared.
The water column rose into the sky again!
Two straight water columns inserted into the thunder clouds, like a pair of straight chopsticks. The originally twisting thunder dragons seemed to be clamped by the chopstick tips, and their twisting postures became stagnant.
What is going on?
The Martial Saints and Demon Kings' expressions changed slightly.
However, before the situation stabilized, the first water column was crushed by the thunder dragon and collapsed into heavy rain. Liang Qu wanted to make up for it, but was stopped by the Old Toad.
"Continue! Don't worry about it, be fast." The Old Toad did not stop. It pulled the Fat Catfish's long whiskers, and the deployment did not stop. "Six miles behind, insert, twenty miles to the left, insert, front..."
The White Ape turned its body, jumped and flickered, inserting water columns into the ground one after another, rushing into the sky and straight into the clouds.
Occasionally, thunder dragons entangled and crushed the water columns, but gradually, the White Ape became more and more handy, and the thunder dragons were slightly slower.
"What is Great Shun doing?"
The Southern Border and Northern Court didn't know about the Old Toad's ascension, let alone the Great Demon heavenly tribulation, which required a group of sixth-realm experts to help. They just felt that a group of Martial Saints and Demon Kings gathered together and didn't know what they were doing.
Fighting. Fighting whom?
Could it be... water-land alliance? Joint military exercise?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One water column after another collapsed and reorganized. Some stood outside the thunder clouds, some stood in the thunder clouds, connected to each other, and electricity flashed.
The Marsh Tripod trembled.
【Spanning the Great River, Manifesting Like the Sun】
【River Governance Degree: 1.3】
The governance degree unexpectedly rose by 0.1.
The gale rolled, and various colors took turns on the stage. The Frog King, Prince of Su, Prince of Xu Yue, and others were originally constantly delaying time for the White Ape. Gradually, they found that the focus of the heavenly tribulation's attack seemed to tilt toward crushing the water columns, and the priority was more important than hitting the target.
No, that's not right.
It's that if you don't crush the water columns, you can't hit the target!
The Martial Saints and Demon Kings understood the key and their pupils gradually widened.
Liang Qu felt like he was inserting iron rods, hitting them, and surrounding the venomous Spider-Man. He jumped and shuttled through them, following the Old Toad's instructions, and inserted water columns non-stop.
Thunder dragons poked their heads, surrounded by water columns, piercing through the tribulation clouds, disrupting the brewing, and the bodies combined halfway collapsed.
At first, the tribulation clouds could still resist, but until the scale was built, the dense 【Pillars Supporting the Sky】 wove into a cage, trapping the lightning tribulation within it. Every time a thunder dragon descended, it would spin around in the cage!
Especially when the White Ape controlled the water flow, grabbed Wei Lin from the Great Demon and Grandmaster team, and let many Martial Saints boil and burn distilled water to replace the weak links of the water columns.
One hundred and seventy-two 【Pillars Supporting the Sky】 connected heaven and earth, connected to the Great Marsh below and penetrated the thunder clouds above.
The thunder dragons struggled within, violently colliding, and finally turned into wisps of light, spreading like a spider web on the water surface, shining briefly.
The Martial Saints and Demon Kings dispersed their supernatural powers and techniques, watching from the side in a Jianghuai Daze.
"Solved?"
The palms were burning with pain, and the chest heaved.
Liang Qu stepped back two steps, taking in the heavenly tribulation in his field of vision.
It seems...
Not that difficult?
The golden eyes were burning, the tribulation clouds were stagnant, and the electricity moved but did not pass, simply like a person being hit at an acupoint, unable to circulate the aura.
What is the principle?
"Croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak!" In the Marsh Kingdom, the Old Toad squatted on the head of the Fat Catfish, croaking wildly at the sky, "A small heavenly tribulation, this public can handle it as easily as flipping a web, all go in!"
"Go in? Go where?" Liang Qu finally caught his breath, his thoughts stagnant.
The Old Toad was full of ambition, waving its big web:
"The seventh, sixteenth, twenty-seventh... nine water columns, go inside, you can accept the heavenly tribulation to refine your body, and consume the heavenly tribulation, just as the reward paid by this public."
