Chapter 1617

The old monk had no intention of making a move.

In his view, if this person were a True Buddha, this kind of degraded ancient catastrophe would definitely not be able to do anything to the other party.

If he couldn't pass the ancient catastrophe, it would mean this person was not a True Buddha, and he would leave on his own.

If he were seriously injured and dying, it would mean this person's Buddha nature had not yet been opened, and the old monk would naturally make a move to take him back for treatment, helping him achieve enlightenment and become a True Buddha.

So no matter what happened, it could satisfy the old monk's wish.

Among those present, no one noticed the old monk's arrival.

Everyone's attention was focused entirely on Xu Que.

Having passed the first ancient catastrophe, the aura on Xu Que's body had already improved by a large margin.

Just this alone was already infinitely close to an Immortal King.

"Oh my god... he's already almost an Immortal King after just passing the first Heavenly Tribulation."

"If he were to fully break through, what kind of terrifying cultivation would that be?"

"This person cannot be left alive. Once he breaks through, I fear he will be able to fight across ranks... does anyone have any good ideas?" an Immortal Venerable asked in a low voice.

An Immortal Venerable chimed in: "In my opinion, this person's potential is extremely rare. Why don't we wait until he breaks through, then find a way to gang up on him? Maybe we can kill him."

"I have poison here that can be effective against Immortal Kings."

"This item is an immortal artifact I've treasured for many years, it should have some effect."

"My physical body is strong, I can help everyone resist attacks."

The atmosphere suddenly became heated. Everyone spoke one after another, starting to devise strategies, and even began to imagine how to divide the Ancient Buddha inheritance on his body after killing Xu Que later.

The Immortal Venerable who spoke first cleared his throat and reminded: "No, everyone, what I mean is, is there any way to break his tribulation? If the Heavenly Tribulation isn't broken, what are we going to do about the subsequent tribulation lightning?"

Inside the restriction, there was dead silence, and everyone was speechless.

The Immortal Venerable was completely stunned.

"No, you guys don't have any ideas?"

An Immortal King said with an awkward expression: "Fellow Daoist, you saw it too. The Immortal King expert who tried to swallow the Heavenly Tribulation just now died without even letting out a fart, which shows that this Heavenly Tribulation is truly not something we can handle."

Another Immortal Venerable nodded: "That is indeed the case, and with the ancient catastrophe present, whether it's poison or weapons, they cannot get close to the other party. A slight carelessness will attract the attention of the ancient catastrophe. Although Xu Que can block it, there are many of us here, and I fear we have no way to deal with the ancient catastrophe."

The Immortal Venerable felt nothing but despair in his heart.

So you guys were discussing so enthusiastically just now, but in the end, you were just discussing nothing at all!

A bunch of experts like you, and you only came up with the conclusion that you can't make a move for now?

What use are you!

"Fellow Daoist, could it be that you have any good ideas?" another Immortal Venerable asked tentatively.

"No, absolutely no way."

"Then why the hell are you talking!"

A heated and positive discussion ultimately ended in helplessness.

They had to admit that Xu Que was invincible while undergoing tribulation.

Even though everyone present was an expert in terms of strength, if they couldn't block the ancient catastrophe, they could only wait to be slaughtered.

The Immortal Venerable sighed long and looked into the distance.

The sky is so blue, the earth is so yellow...

I hope this isn't the last time I see this beautiful world...

"Boom!"

Another violent roar, and the ancient catastrophe above the sky was about to condense into form.

Dozens of golden dragons shuttled through the clouds, but they never fell, as if waiting for something.

Xu Que looked at the rolling thunder clouds, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart.

Strange, why is this Heavenly Tribulation like constipation?

It hasn't fallen for a long time, could it be that it's chickened out again?

That shouldn't be, the momentum was so strong during the first wave!

"Boom—"

Just at this moment, a violent roar sounded, and everyone felt something, looking up one after another.

They saw that the dozens of golden dragons didn't rush down directly, but instead gradually gathered together, intertwining with each other.

Like a ball of yarn tangled together, it soon became a huge spherical shape.

"Uh... what's the situation?" Xu Que was a bit confused for a moment, wondering what this ancient catastrophe was doing. "Are they tangling together to become a ball and crush me to death?"

The people around were also dumbfounded; they hadn't seen the ancient catastrophe as many times as Xu Que, and at this moment, they were even more unaware of what kind of trick this ancient catastrophe was pulling.

They saw these golden dragons intertwining together, the dragon ball formed like a heart beating slowly.

Thump...

Thump...

Thump...

The beating sound became stronger and stronger, as if a heavy drum was being constantly beaten.

"Strange... I feel like my heartbeat has also accelerated!" an Immortal King said in surprise.

You must know that as Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, they have absolute control over their bodies and are not easily influenced by the outside world.

Although the Immortal Venerable who was messed up by the laxative powder was there before, that was only because that thing was truly too insidious and impossible to guard against.

In a head-on battle, it is very difficult to influence an opponent through various means.

After all, letting an opponent control one's body is almost the same as the opponent controlling one's life and death.

Several Immortal Kings with lower cultivation were already red-faced, the violent beating of their hearts causing their blood flow to accelerate, and their emotions became agitated along with it.

Xu Que's expression also gradually became strange; it was his first time encountering an ancient catastrophe that needed to brew for so long.

I fear the power will far exceed past catastrophes!

Thump—Boom!

When the speed of the heartbeat reached its peak, the dragon ball suddenly contracted violently, its size shrinking by two-thirds.

After pausing for an instant, it shrank again.

Soon, the originally massive dragon ball became a bead the size of a fist.

Xu Que was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Is this the legendary Dragon Ball?"

A bead condensed from a group of golden dragons, isn't that just a Dragon Ball!

Dragon Ball?

Everyone looked at each other, all indicating they had never heard of this thing.

"But he actually recognizes this item, could it be that he was prepared?" an Immortal King wondered.

"I fear that's the case. Even we haven't heard of the term Dragon Ball."

"Could it be a legendary item from the Immortal Realm?" someone exclaimed.

The Immortal Realm is a place that exists in legends, the final destination for cultivators.

In history, existences suspected to be left behind by the Immortal Realm have appeared many times, and every time, they have fought until rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the field to compete for these treasures.

Seeing this treasure suspected to be left behind by the Immortal Realm, everyone's breathing couldn't help but become heavy.

The world is bustling for profit; despite the precedent of an Immortal King being killed in seconds, greed could still not be suppressed in everyone's eyes.

If that really is an item from the Immortal Realm, obtaining it might allow one to leap to become the strongest in the Immortal Yuan Continent!

Even if it's not an item from the Immortal Realm, its quality, condensed from the ancient catastrophe, is enough to make everyone's heart move.

However, while their hearts were moved, no one dared to really rush up and snatch it for the time being.

Under the gaze of everyone, countless golden lightning bolts surged from all directions, wrapping the Dragon Ball tightly.

Swish!

The moment the golden light completely swallowed the Dragon Ball, it suddenly dissipated, and a slender figure walked out, with horns on its forehead, covered in dragon scales, holding a golden long spear in its hand.

"Dragon God!" The old monk was shocked. "It's actually the legendary leader of the Eight Classes of Heavenly Dragons, how could he appear here!"

In the Heavenly Tribulation, the legendary guardian deity of the Buddhist Sect actually appeared; this is simply unbelievable!

Looking back a thousand years, such a miracle had never appeared!

"The Eight Classes are also known as the Eight Classes of the Dragon God, among which the Dragon God is the head of the Eight Classes. Since the Dragon God appears here, it means..."

As soon as the old monk thought of this, thinking of that almost non-existent possibility, he trembled all over with excitement, unable to control himself.

"This young man... he is the body of the True Buddha!"

"This is the prosperity of my Buddhist Sect!"
