Chapter 1566 - 1556: Four-headed Calamity Beast

Chapter 1566: Chapter 1556: Four-headed Calamity Beast

Guard of Tribulation.

Due to the Swordmaster’s presence, this place has been unexpectedly peaceful for several days.

But peace will inevitably be shattered.

And it will happen sooner, faster, and stronger than anyone imagined.

Within the sealed rift, clusters of dark clouds gathered, releasing fearsome roars that morphed into tangible sonic waves, demolishing vast stretches of the starry sky, and crashing into the Guard of Tribulation.

Boom!

Ripple effects from numerous formations spread across the sky.

Many weaker formations were directly destroyed, exploding into countless points of light.

Inside the Guard of Tribulation, the common soldiers stationed here clasped their hands over their ears, writhing in pain on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, their cries of anguish echoing to the heavens.

Even the Three Knowledge Realm martial artists felt as if their heads might split open from the pain.

Only those at the Rule Power realm were slightly better off.

But even they showed a faint pallor in their faces.

"What terrifying sound waves!"

"Could it be an invasion of stronger beasts?"

On a high platform, the Master of the Cosmos stared fixedly at the large rift in the seal, full of apprehension.

Beside him.

Shashi looked equally solemn.

He remembered when he first arrived, only single-headed beasts could pass through the seal; afterwards, there were double-headed beasts. A few days ago, the three-headed beasts appeared, and this time the invasion of beasts seemed louder than ever, could it be...

Four-headed beasts?

At this thought, Shashi felt a sinking feeling in his heart and quietly tightened his grip on his blood-stained knife.

Clang!

Just then.

A piercing sword sound rang out.

An expanse of white sword light shot from deep within the Guard of Tribulation, connecting with the starry skies, its sharpness boundless, slicing through the sonic waves.

"Roar!"

Another round of roaring echoed.

But it didn’t generate sound waves.

It seemed more an expression of anger.

In the infinite universe, the eyes of powerful beings focused on the sealed rift, and under the gaze of the masses, a massive four-headed beast, one hundred thousand miles tall, strode out.

Besides the snake-head, the flood-dragon-head, and the dragon-head, there was now one manifesting as a cloud of calamity.

The fourth head, the Calamity-head!

Capable of nurturing a mini cosmic catastrophe, obliterating the life force of a universe.

Behind the four-headed beast followed two triple-headed beasts, ten double-headed beasts, and hundreds of single-headed beasts.

The surging might erupted from the bodies of these numerous beasts like countless boiling tidal waves, crushing towards the Guard of Tribulation, making the world’s first guard tremble lightly even after standing for countless millennia.

"Pseudo-God!"

The Master of the Cosmos and Shashi stared at the four-headed beasts, and just from afar, they could feel an endless oppressive force that chilled them to their core, as if their blood froze.

Having dealt with beasts for a long time, they knew the ultimate in martial arts was Divine Power!

In fact.

Neither the Infinite Cosmos nor the River of Time had the Pseudo-God realm.

But for ease of distinction, the Master of the Dao Tome dubbed those who grasp divine nature without stepping into the Demigod realm as Pseudo-Gods.

"Heart Demon Tribulation!"

After the four-headed beast emerged, it roared loudly.

The Calamity-head extended forth.

Releasing an overwhelming tribulation force, disturbing the cosmic order, and shaking the invisible strings of the starry skies, surging towards the Guard of Tribulation.

Suddenly.

The faces of the soldiers in the Guard of Tribulation twisted, their bodies exuding thick black air, murderous intent and evil qi roiling like seas and rivers, some unable to control their inner power.

In just a few breaths.

The air above the Guard of Tribulation was shrouded in black qi.

"Kill!"

A strong figure who had just arrived at the Guard of Tribulation, his eyes turned vacant and he swung his weapon towards the nearest comrade.

Unexpected.

The comrade’s head was swiftly chopped off, blood spurted out, unusually gruesome.

After slaying the comrade, the soldier possessed by a demon became even more frenzied, his eyes blood-red like rubies, killing wildly atop the city wall.

Tribulations!

Categorized into various types.

The most basic is the Thunder Tribulation, followed by Heart Demon Tribulation, Mortal Tribulation, Killing Tribulation, Love Tribulation...

Almost all martial artists will be troubled by various tribulations, though most aren’t strong and martial artists can easily overcome them, but those with deeper obsessions can easily become possessed.

Beasts possess the power of tribulation, able to invoke the deepest obsessions within beings, greatly increasing the power of tribulations.

Combined with the four-headed beast wielding tribulation power.

Grasping divine nature!

The power is naturally more formidable.

"Shatter!"

Then.

From deep within the Guard of Tribulation, the Swordmaster’s voice was heard.

Soon after, beneath the starry canopy, everyone sensed intense spiritual energy fluctuations.

Like ripples coursing over a calm water surface, beneath which a terrifying entity was about to break free.

Suddenly, the void collapsed, cracking open a black hole, from which a figure with a battle sword emerged, its body tall and slender, hair wild in the wind, radiating a sharp aura.

At the moment the figure appeared.

Countless battle swords within the Guard of Tribulation soared, emitting dazzling beams of light, piercing sword cries echoed, striking deep into everyone’s heart.

In a daze, a demon appeared in everyone’s heart with a green face, fierce teeth, blood-red eyes, three heads and six arms, devouring the heart...

Clang!

Suddenly, the sound of the sword sliced away the Heart Demon.

"Some skill!"

The four-headed beast looked at the Swordmaster with an indifferent expression, spoke calmly: "But not much..."

With the words spoken.

A terrifying tribulation force emitted from within him.

The calm void boiled again, inexhaustible calamity clouds rushed in from all directions, accumulating beneath the starry sky, swirling and rolling, nurturing supreme heavenly thunder.

An invisible stellar storm swept!

The heavens were enraged!

Seeking to annihilate all beings!

"Slash!"

The Swordmaster’s face grew tense, lifting his battle sword high, two thousand nine hundred and thirty sword rules stood firm, containing a faint divine nature, brewing an indescribably terrifying grandeur.

The starry sky overturned!

The great way overturned!

Law and order overturned!

This one sword could disturb the heavenly visage, could slash through cosmic strings.

Sword light cascaded over the expanse.

The brilliance of countless solar cycles was obscured.

Amongst numerous anomalies, a streak of Sword Qi shot forth, dividing the universe, landing within the calamity clouds above.

In an instant, the radiance of the clouds was covered, but only for a moment, as calamity force reclaimed dominance, dropping countless heavenly thunders, sounding dragon roars, tiger charges, eagle cries, heavily striking the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi, capable of dividing the heavens, opening the earth, annihilating worlds, was directly destroyed.

The Swordmaster’s body rocked, knocked back hundreds of miles.

His sword-holding right hand trembled slightly.

Watching this scene, the Master of the Cosmos, Shashi, the Elder of the Great Hall and others’ expressions changed drastically, could even the Swordmaster not be a match for the four-headed beast?

"Your Sword Intent is commendable, but the power you’ve cultivated is too low-grade, still using Rule Power!"

"Bring out the strongest of your Infinite Universe!"

"I’m ready to take ten on!"

The four-headed beast strolled through the starry skies, arrogantly said.

The Swordmaster’s face looked somewhat grim.

This is the sorrow of a lower civilization.

Clearly in the same realm, yet due to the weaker power cultivated, utterly crushed in defeat.

...

Qin Dynasty.

"My lord, it seems the Swordmaster can’t hold on much longer!"

In the imperial study, the Lord gazed into the distance, through layers of stars, across countless galaxies, settling on a majestic fortress in the extreme east, speaking softly.

"The Guard of Tribulation cannot be breached!"

Qin Wudao frowned, speaking solemnly.

If the Guard of Tribulation is broken, then the Infinite Universe will have no natural barrier preventing the invasion of the Calamity Tribe.

"Then... leave it to me!"

The Lord’s eyes flashed with battle intent, his body gradually fading, disappearing from sight.
