Chapter 288: Chapter 276: New Miracle Building, Heaven-Defying Effects

Under the onslaught of the ferocious Thunder Tribulation, the entire Beast God Tree Forbidden Land had been reduced to a vast, barren plain.

As far as the eye could see, there was only scorched earth.

The Thunder Tribulation the Beast God Tree endured was of a ferocity nearly unheard of in the Cultivation Realm.

The Cultivators who witnessed the event firsthand were all utterly terrified.

The Beast God Tree was annihilated in the Thunder Tribulation. After the Tribulation Thunder dissipated and a good while had passed, some Cultivators could no longer hold back and began to venture onto the vast, scorched plain.

Soon after, the Cultivators near the Forbidden Land trickled in one after another.

The utterly ferocious Thunder Tribulation had destroyed nearly everything within the Forbidden Land. What was once an endless forest, home to countless fifth and sixth-rank Demon Beasts, was now gone. Even the beasts’ corpses had been obliterated by the lightning.

However, a few small areas had been lucky enough to escape the calamity.

The first Cultivators to enter found Thousand Year Elixirs in these pockets—Spiritual Medicines rarely seen in the outside world.

Some even found Spiritual Medicines that were several thousand years old.

The most astonishing discovery, however, was a piece of Thunderstruck Wood found by a Cultivator in the center of the Forbidden Land.

This particular piece of Thunderstruck Wood was incredibly unusual, suspected to be above the sixth rank.

Though it was just a piece of wood, no method could inflict even the slightest damage upon it.

A large number of Cultivators began to fight over this piece of Thunderstruck Wood.

In the brutal battle that followed, the piece of Thunderstruck Wood—a treasure not seen in ten thousand years—was ultimately seized by a Dao Fruit Realm elder from the Divine Wood Sect.

News of the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land’s destruction and the Divine Wood Sect elder’s acquisition of the Thunderstruck Wood spread quickly.

A day later, countless Cultivators arrived at the destroyed Forbidden Land to hunt for treasure.

But it wasn’t just ordinary Cultivators who came. Dao Fruit Realm Cultivators were a common sight.

More terrifying still, the auras of Manifestation Realm Cultivators would occasionally sweep over the crowds from above.

The influx of so many Cultivators meant the grounds of the Forbidden Land were scoured three feet deep.

The final haul wasn’t large, but there were still some astonishing discoveries.

For instance, rumor had it that the Sword Casting Manor had obtained a crystal of a type never seen before.

Much like the Thunderstruck Wood, this crystal was indestructible; even Manifestation Realm Cultivators were unable to damage it.

In short, for the past day or two, the Cultivation Realm had been buzzing with news and rumors related to the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land.

As one of the Cultivation Realm’s most famous Forbidden Lands, countless Cultivators speculated endlessly about the cause of its destruction.

While the Cultivation Realm was in an uproar, Jiang Zuo had already parted ways with Jie Qiu and Xie Xiuyue.

After destroying the Array, Jiang Zuo had used Jie Qiu’s Teleportation Talisman to leave the Forbidden Land.

He figured that people might eventually find out the three of them had entered the Forbidden Land during the cataclysm and emerged alive.

So, Jiang Zuo and the two women got their stories straight before parting ways.

Jie Qiu and Xie Xiuyue had been reluctant to part.

But all good things must come to an end. After they got out, the two women received a summons from their master to return to their sect.

Worried they would be punished, the two women had no choice but to hurry back to the Beicang Sect.

Huahua was still recuperating, so she and Great Black couldn’t be together for the time being.

’It’s a shame. Everything was too rushed, or I could have gotten a lot more good stuff.’

Jiang Zuo thought with some regret.

By destroying the Array, Jiang Zuo knew he would force the Demon Beasts in the Forbidden Land to undergo their tribulations.

But he’d had no other choice if he wanted to escape.

He just hadn’t expected the Beast God Tree to start Crossing the Tribulation as well, nor for its Celestial Thunder to be so horrifying.

It ultimately led to the complete annihilation of the Forbidden Land.

Through the eyes of his Puppet Body’s flesh-mountain form, Jiang Zuo had witnessed the destruction of the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land firsthand.

The terrifying scene of the Beast God Tree Crossing the Tribulation was still vivid in his mind.

In the midst of the utterly ferocious Thunder Tribulation, the colossal Beast God Tree’s massive trunk was continuously blasted apart, shrinking with every strike.

The Puppet Body was not the target of the Celestial Tribulation. The Beast God Tree, unaware that the mountain of flesh was Jiang Zuo’s transformed Puppet Body, had deliberately withdrawn its surrounding root-tentacles and the canopy of branches and leaves from the sky before starting its tribulation.

As a result, the area where the Puppet Body was located became one of the few places untouched by the Thunder Tribulation.

This was how Jiang Zuo was able to witness nearly the entire process of the Beast God Tree Crossing the Tribulation.

Unfortunately, even without fighting, the mountain of flesh couldn’t maintain its Flesh Awakening state for long.

The creature’s flesh was still expanding, and Jiang Zuo had lost control over its growth.

Eventually, this flesh overflowed into the path of the Beast God Tree’s Tribulation Thunder.

At that point, the Beast God Tree had no attention to spare for the Puppet Body.

The Puppet Body was thus swept into the Thunder Tribulation.

A single bolt of Tribulation Thunder was all it took to obliterate half of the Puppet Body’s grotesquely swollen form.

But whether by a stroke of luck or by the Beast God Tree’s design, just before the second bolt of Tribulation Thunder fell to utterly destroy the Puppet Body, a piece of wood from the Divine Tree’s trunk was blasted off by the lightning and landed at the Puppet Body’s feet.

In the end, the Puppet Body used a Dao Talisman to teleport back to Jiang Zuo’s side, bringing the piece of Thunderstruck Wood with it.

’In the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land this time, Great Black became a fifth-rank Spirit Beast and its bloodline was greatly enhanced.’

’I also acquired the golden giant wolf, Cocoa the Beast God Tree’s offshoot, an unknown Companion Spirit Tree, the Beast God Tree Thunderstruck Wood, and twelve fifth-rank Demon Beast corpses.’

Jiang Zuo found a deserted spot, sat down, and took stock of his gains from the trip.

Overall, the haul was enormous.

’And there’s that Talisman from the Sang Family member. I can sell it.’

’A Talisman capable of withstanding a full-power strike from a great Manifestation Realm Cultivator should fetch a good price.’

If the Talisman could be preserved long-term, Jiang Zuo would have kept it.

However, he had opened the jade box to inspect it, thinking he might need it in the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land.
