Chapter 803: Playing for Real

"Blech!"

Bai San vomited directly.

This extremely realistic muscle memory could only mean one thing: that this body of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast had truly eaten delicious, fatty cockroaches before.

"Go outside to vomit, and while you're at it, guard the area for me. Don't let anyone disturb me."

Ye Lin opened the barrier and tossed Bai San out.

The Spirit Beast Contract had already been signed, so he was not afraid of Bai San acting recklessly.

After resolving the trouble of Bai San, Ye Lin took a deep breath and adjusted his state to its peak.

He took out all the materials needed to reinforce the Human Emperor Flag.

Yellow Springs Nether Stones, Profound Evil Yin Thunder Beads, Star Dragon Whisker Threads... and the most important of all, Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste!

Ye Lin first placed the Yellow Springs Nether Stones all around; as the number of stones increased, a trace of a sinister, eerie aura rose in the surroundings.

Under the assault of this cold, gloomy aura, the cracks on the dark gold Human Emperor Flag and its pole became larger and larger, as if they would completely collapse the next second.

Ye Lin watched calmly, not in a hurry to act.

To break and then establish; if one wanted the Human Emperor Flag to be perfectly repaired, one had to expand the cracks further until the very moment of collapse to reorganize it.

Seeing that the Human Emperor Flag was finally about to shatter completely, Ye Lin made his move!

He crushed the Profound Evil Yin Thunder Beads, and the dense, sinister aura was detonated by the baleful energy, transforming into purple-black lightning that rampaged through the secret chamber!

If Ye Lin had not set up a formation beforehand, this secret chamber would likely have collapsed long ago.

The black-purple lightning tore Ye Lin's physical body apart and struck heavily upon the Human Emperor Flag, splitting it into pieces.

Just as the Human Emperor Flag was about to dissipate, Ye Lin flung out the Star Dragon Whisker Threads.

Countless golden threads pierced through all the fragments of the Human Emperor Flag.

At the same time, Ye Lin opened the jade box containing the Black Jade Heaven-Mending Paste, letting the mass of paste flow down along the golden threads.

The moment the first crack on the Human Emperor Flag was mended.

Rumble—!!!

A thunderclap erupted from a clear sky; the originally sunny heavens were instantly covered in dark clouds!

In an instant, the tribulation clouds stretched across millions of miles, shrouding the Nuhai Dynasty where the Yihong Zoo was located, and even the Immortal Cloud Sect was affected!

That terrifying, majestic heavenly might instantly frightened quite a few cultivators.

"What's going on? Is there a top-tier great expert undergoing a lightning tribulation?"

"Such massive tribulation clouds—what kind of heaven-defying cultivation base must this be?"

"Great expert, please withdraw your divine powers!"

Many people were so scared their faces turned pale; such terrifying tribulation clouds—even the aftershocks were not something small fry like them could withstand.

In the secret chamber, Ye Lin's expression also changed abruptly.

He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated this heavenly tribulation!

He had thought he had long since been blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao, but he had not expected the karma involved with the Human Emperor Flag to be so great that even the heavenly tribulation, which usually couldn't be bothered to strike him, had appeared once again.

He absolutely could not continue repairing the Human Emperor Flag here, otherwise the entire Yihong Zoo and even the entire Nuhai Dynasty would vanish under this terrifying heavenly tribulation.

"Forbidden Spell: Space-Time Wormhole!"

Ye Lin used a forbidden technique, forcibly tearing open a small spatial rift.

Afterward, Ye Lin took out a golden talisman, a look of heartache flashing in his eyes.

This was the Void-Escaping Immortal Talisman given to him by Situ Qi, reserved for him to save his life at a critical moment, but now Ye Lin could not care about that anymore.

Ye Lin crushed the Void-Escaping Immortal Talisman in one go and teleported with the Human Emperor Flag to the Withered Bone Wasteland.

Aside from the Immortal Cloud Sect and the Joyous Union Sect, this was the only other place in the Longevity Continent he was relatively familiar with.

And the moment Ye Lin teleported away, those terrifying tribulation clouds immediately followed, and the entire world instantly turned into a world of lightning.

Countless bolts of lightning descended, connecting with the earth, and arcs of electricity constantly flickered in the air.

Fortunately, Ye Lin had already killed almost all the evil cultivators active on the Withered Bone Wasteland; otherwise, if such a terrifying heavenly tribulation had descended here, it likely would have harmed many innocents.

This dreadful lightning tribulation also alarmed quite a few people on the Longevity Continent.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect, Jian Long opened his eyes and looked toward the Withered Bone Wasteland in astonishment.

"Such a terrifying lightning tribulation; the Saint Tribulation I experienced back then was only about this much, right? In this Age of Dharma Decline, is there actually someone who can attain the Saint realm on the Longevity Continent?"

In the North Abyss, Central Province, Western Boundary, and Southern Domain, old monsters were also awakened, gazing across the distance at the Eastern Profound Domain; that heavenly tribulation stretching across millions of miles was simply too frightening.

"One can attain the Saint realm on the Longevity Continent? This person likely already possesses the bearing of a Great Emperor!"

"Since the Age of Dharma Decline, this continent has not seen such terrifying tribulation lightning for too long."

"It might not necessarily be someone attaining the Saint realm; it could also be a heaven-defying supreme treasure manifesting. Send people over; as soon as the tribulation dissipates, enter and investigate immediately!"

It was fortunate that this was a heavenly tribulation and others dared not intrude into the tribulation range without authorization; otherwise, Ye Lin would likely have been caught by some old monster by now.

Rumble!

After brewing for a long time, the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck down ferociously; it was a thousand-foot bolt of lightning that tore through the space along its path—this kind of tribulation was not something one could pass, it was aimed at destroying everything!

And the target of the heavenly tribulation was precisely the Human Emperor Flag that was about to be repaired!

Watching the incoming tribulation lightning, Ye Lin circulated the Myriad Tribulations Refining God Art and actively moved to meet it.

Even with the Thousand Tribulations Saint Body, he could not withstand such terrifying lightning at all; Ye Lin was blasted into a mist of blood the moment he made contact.

After obliterating Ye Lin, the thousand-foot lightning merely paused for a split second before continuing to strike toward the Human Emperor Flag!

The resurrected Ye Lin was so scared his scalp went numb; he had originally wanted to use the heavenly tribulation to "freeload" his life-and-death tribulation, but now it seemed he had completely overthought it.

This time, the heavenly tribulation was truly playing for real.

"Forbidden Spell: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!"

"Forbidden Spell: Wall of Sighs!" X4

Three clones and Ye Lin's original body acted together, wanting to block that thousand-foot lightning, but even though they had exhausted all their strength, they could only make the thousand-foot lightning pause for half a breath.

Ye Lin pulled out the Heart Demon Myriad Soul Banner, having the 100,000 Zhuge Qianxings line up in a straight row to form a wall of heart demons.

Yet, before that thousand-foot divine lightning carrying majestic heavenly might, it still had no effect; in an instant, the 100,000 heart demons were wiped away by the thunderous power.

"Damn it, useless Xingzi, you're great at scheming against me, but 100,000 of you together can't even stop one lousy bolt of lightning!"

Ye Lin's expression changed wildly, and he immediately pulled out nine Myriad Soul Banners.

He waved one of them, and a large black hand reached out with boundless demonic might; the invisible space was actually pinched into wrinkles by this hand!
