When the people at the side heard this, they immediately understood the meaning behind Su Zhao's words.
As long as one of the Sect Master and Supreme Elders with the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was present, they could take the opportunity to attack the mountains and rivers, causing him to fail his tribulation.
Although they were also Void Transformation Stage cultivators, they were still unable to interfere with the mountains and rivers.
"The heavenly tribulation is stronger than the previous one. This is only the first stage. There are still the second and third stages. He might not be able to safely pass through them."
An old man with a square face smiled nonchalantly.
"That's not necessarily true. This person has stayed in the 'Sword Illusion Paradise' for an entire fifty years. All the treasures inside must have been swept clean by him. With the help of those treasures, it doesn't seem difficult to pass through the heavenly tribulation."
"..."
The few of them secretly speculated.
At this time, shouts rang out from the Broken Sword Peak and the Sky City. Many cultivators rushed up into the sky to witness the heavenly tribulation phenomenon that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
"Sizzle sizzle."
In the sky above the Broken Sword Peak, a sharp and hurried sound of something tearing through the air suddenly burst forth like popcorn, seeming to be able to tear apart everyone's eardrums.
Within the Heavenly Road's passageway, countless arrows poured down like raindrops.
They were densely packed, as if they were endless. Strands of captivating red had already filled up the entire long passageway that connected the heavens and the earth.
"Hu!"
On the peak of the mountain, the long blade in Shanhe's hand began to dance crazily at a frightening speed.
Immediately after, countless blade lights blossomed with the mountain and river's body as the center, instantly condensing into a huge ball that completely filled the bottom of the Heavenly Road.
"Boom —"
The fire arrows covered the sky and the earth as they landed on the fiery red ball in an endless stream. The deafening sound continued to resound in the air.
In a split-second, the Strength Qi swept wildly, the red light exploded, and an exceptionally magnificent scene appeared at the bottom of the Heavenly Road's passageway. Incomparably sharp fire arrows descended from the endless sky one after another, and each of the fire arrows contained an extremely ferocious power.
However, every time these arrows touched the fiery red ball at the bottom of the passageway, they would be instantly minced into pieces by the surging blade light, blooming like fireworks.
High up in the sky, Tang Huan and Shan Shan could not help but hold their breaths, secretly sweating for the mountains and rivers.
The "Netherworld Nine Spirit Bird" below him and the two "Blood Plume Heavenly Hawk" on Shan Shan's shoulders were also dazzled, unable to take it all in.
Thousands of meters away, Su Zhao and the others also fell silent.
At first, they were still looking forward to the failure of the mountain and river tribulation, but as time passed, that thought in the bottom of their hearts had completely disappeared, and what replaced it was a deep shock. As Void Transformation Stage cultivators, they naturally knew how terrifying the methods that the mountains and rivers were using right now were.
The Heavenly Road's passageway had a circumference of at least several dozen meters. The rain of arrows that descended from the sky also covered the entire space within the passageway.
At the bottom of the Heavenly Road, Shanhe had completely sealed off an area of tens of meters with just the blade in his hand.
If it was just a short moment, it wouldn't be surprising, but from the beginning until now, this method of Shanhe had been going on for at least half a quarter of an hour. Almost every second, there would be thousands of arrows that would be shattered by the surging saber light that was like a wave, and not a single one was missed.
Up until now, the number of rockets that had been shattered was countless, and the method that Shanhe had used did not show any signs of exhaustion.
"Amazing!" "Truly amazing!"
Even though he viewed the mountains and rivers as his enemy, Su Zhao still couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Even if it's the Sect Master …" As he said that, Su Zhao suddenly woke up from his stupor and swallowed the rest of his words.
The surrounding people could naturally guess the meaning behind his words — even the Sect Master was probably not a match for this mountain and river — they all thought the same.
With such strength, there were probably only a handful of people in the entire Forging God Great World who could match up to him.
Just what kind of good fortune did this mountain and river obtain in the "Sword Illusion Paradise"? In just a short fifty years, he had already obtained such a terrifying method.
"The second stage of the fire tribulation is finally over!"
On the other side, Tang Huan and Shan Shan heaved a sigh of relief at almost the same time. Within the Heavenly Road, there was still a rain of arrows rapidly descending, but at the top of the Heavenly Road, the fiery red light was quickly disappearing. Not long later, the last wave of arrows finally scattered under the surging blade light.
At the bottom of the passageway, the surging and churning ball of fiery red blade light was also quickly shrinking. After a while, it had completely disappeared, revealing the tall and sturdy figure of the mountains and rivers once again.
The second stage of the fire tribulation, which had lasted for almost half a quarter of an hour, had finally ended!
"The second stage is already so terrifying, the third stage …"
Shan Shan could not help but feel his heartstrings tighten. Looking at Tang Huan's small hand on his right palm, he could not help but increase his strength, and his palm had already become a little moist.
"It's fine, you have to believe in Grandfather Gao's strength."
Tang Huan pinched Shan Shan's small hand, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Even though he said that, the nervousness in his heart was not much weaker than Shan Shan's.
The continuous rain of arrows for half a quarter of an hour, and the power contained within each arrow was only stronger than the Arrow Defense Style he was currently using.
In such a short period of time, there were tens of millions of arrows pouring down.
An ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Void Transformation Stage would probably be torn to shreds by the rain of arrows very quickly. Even if they could hold on, their true essence would probably be exhausted. On the summit of the mountain, Gao Zu's mountain and river seemed to be fine, but no one knew the actual situation he was in right now.
"The third stage of the fire tribulation …"
Just as Tang Huan muttered to himself in his heart, a loud howl came from the sky, becoming louder and louder, like rolling thunder, the sound spread for a thousand miles.
At this moment, countless people in Broken Sword Peak and Sky City opened their eyes wide as they stared at the top of the Heavenly Road.
"Rumble …"
A beam of fiery red intent suddenly flashed and descended from the highest point of the Heavenly Road, rapidly expanding in front of everyone's eyes. It was actually a thick pillar of fire that was almost as big as the Heavenly Road, reaching a length of several thousand meters. It was like a giant pillar that supported the heavens, smashing towards the mountains and rivers with the force of a thunderbolt.
Seeing this scene, cries of alarm immediately sounded out from the top of Broken Sword Peak and Sky City.
High up in the sky, the nine spirits and the two "Blood Plume Heavenly Hawks" were all dumbfounded. Tang Huan and Shan Shan took in a breath of cold air at almost the same time, and four pairs of eyes stared intently at the figure at the peak of the mountain.
"Heh!"
At the bottom of the Heavenly Road, an explosive shout suddenly exploded.
Immediately after, the long blade in Shanhe's hand pointed towards the sky, and an incomparably resplendent red light shot into the sky. Every time it rose, it would expand by a circle, and in the blink of an eye, it had already turned into a fiery red pillar, filling up the entire space at the bottom of the Heavenly Road.
"Boom!"
