Chapter 1168 - 1168: Each Slash, a Heavenly Tribulation; Each Word, a Universe

Lin Mu's slash severed Xu Ling's lifespan.

Yet Lin Mu is also facing a life and death crisis.

Before him are two Demon-Subduing Pestles, each formed by five thousand Six Tribulation Thunder Thought pieces.

Their power is far superior to one thousand Six Tribulation Thunder Thoughts!

Lin Mu needs at least three slashes to shatter these thoughts!

But, Lin Mu does not want to use these three slashes!

Just as Lin Mu was preparing to use the defensive power of the Nine Tripod Fragments to forcefully withstand these two Demon-Subduing Pestles, a voice rang out in the sky.

"Master, I am here to assist you!"

Following the voice, a shield appeared in front of Lin Mu.

The shield was composed of an astonishing nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Six Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, the ultimate number!

Boom!

The two Demon-Subduing Pestles crashed onto the shield, causing ripples to spread out.

Yet it was merely a ripple.

Crack!

Instead, it was the Demon-Subduing Pestles that emitted the sound of breaking.

The Thunder Thoughts composing the Demon-Subduing Pestles nearly half shattered.

"No..."

Xu Ling, who was just furious due to the loss of lifespan, now let out a roar not quite humanly.

Bang bang bang!

Several bloody lights exploded from Xu Ling's head.

Her Sea of Consciousness almost boiled over.

The shield's impact nearly shattered four thousand Thunder Thoughts of Xu Ling, causing her Sea of Consciousness to almost explode.

Her consciousness instantly plunged into chaos.

At this moment, Qing Dang Saint Master and others were dumbfounded.

A Six-Tribulation Overlord emerged to assist Lin Wudi, defeating the Great General Xu Ling!

Moreover, what terrifies Qing Dang Saint Master and others is that the Thunder Thoughts composing the shield reached a suffocating nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine pieces!

Neither the Heavenly Realm Guard nor the Heaven's Mandate Organization has ever seen a cultivation technique that can use so many Thunder Thoughts to form a Blade of Tribulation Thought.

Who is this suddenly arrived Six-Tribulation Overlord?

"Wait... did this Six-Tribulation Overlord call Lin Wudi master?"

Hongdang Chief Seat suddenly recalled something that made them shiver.

The thirteen overlords all shuddered in unison.

"Did you... hear wrong?"

"Yes, yes, it must be a mistake; perhaps he was calling the World Master?"

No one wanted to believe that a Six-Tribulation Overlord would actually call Lin Wudi master!

"Escape!"

Hui Ye Saint Lord did not hesitate, driving the Thunder Thoughts, turned and ran.

No matter whether the new Six-Tribulation Overlord is Lin Wudi's servant or not, the fact that he aids Lin Wudi is undeniable.

Once Xu Ling is killed, they may be next!

With a Six-Tribulation Overlord in action, they absolutely will not survive!

While Xu Ling is still alive and can delay for a while, run as far as possible!

The other twelve overlords understood quickly, hesitated not, and immediately fled.

"I'll kill Xu Ling, the others are left to you!"

Lin Mu pointed a finger, then swung his blade forward.

Nine Cauldrons Technique Second Form, Slay the Epoch!

Puff!

In the sea of chaotic consciousness, Xu Ling, with no defense power, was struck solidly by this blade.

The power of Slay the Epoch exploded completely within her.

Her already dwindling lifespan diminished entirely.

Her appearance aged, her bloodline withered, she reeked of decay, her flesh and bones dissolved.

In an instant, the Heavenly Realm Guard Grand General Xu Ling turned into a pile of bones.

Even in death, she could not recover from the explosion in her Sea of Consciousness.

Such a mighty Six-Tribulation Overlord, dead in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

At the moment of Xu Ling's death, a stream of light shot from her Sea of Consciousness, aimed directly at Lin Mu.

This stream of light was indeed a Sword of Tribulation Thought formed by a Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought!

Unlike crafting a talisman, this Thunder Thought retained all the attack power of a Seven Tribulation Practitioner.

This sword strike equaled an attack by a Seven Tribulation Practitioner!

"Great Fate Bearer, nothing more; I wonder who can save you this time!"

From within the Sword of Tribulation Thought came the voice of Heavenly Guards Vice Marshal Jin Xinwu.

His Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought had been lurking in Xu Ling's Sea of Consciousness all along.

Yet until Xu Ling was slain, he never took action, simply watching as Xu Ling was killed by Lin Mu.

It was only when the Six-Tribulation Overlord who arrived to assist was dispatched by Lin Mu to chase down Qing Dang Saint Master and others, did he issue this fatal attack.

Even though the Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought had enough power to destroy Lin Mu in an instant, he still held back!

He was waiting for the variable that belongs to the Great Fate Bearer!

The variable indeed appeared.

To be able to use nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Thunder Thoughts to form a Blade of Tribulation Thought, Jin Xinwu had never seen such a genius!

Around the Great Fate Bearer, indeed countless prodigies gather.

But this opportunity still fell to Jin Xinwu!

Lin Wudi was careless, dispatching the Six-Tribulation Overlord, giving Jin Xinwu the chance for a fatal strike.

Under the Seven Tribulation, Lin Wudi is doomed.

This time, not even the fortune of the Great Fate Bearer can save him!

As the Blade of Thought formed by Jin Xinwu's Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought emerged, Lin Mu's eyes suddenly released endless script light!

Lin Mu slashed the air!

In the sky, Tribulation Thought Characters took shape.

Fix!

Lin Mu swung his blade again!

Shield!

He swung a third time!

Suppress!

A fourth swing!

Shock!

A fifth swing!

Shatter!

In an instant, Lin Mu exploded the power of six Nine Tripod Fragments, swinging his blade five times.

Five blade gleams collided directly with the Sword of Tribulation Thought formed by the Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought.

"Ha..."

In the air, there seemed to be a mocking laugh from Jin Xinwu.

In his view, although the power of the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars is formidable, it is far from harming the Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought.

Lin Wudi is merely struggling in vain, blocking an inevitable path.

Boom!

The first blade gleam collided with the Sword of Tribulation Thought.

The character of Fix, fixes the universe!

Boom!

The second blade gleam collided with the Sword of Tribulation Thought.

The character of Shield, nothing can crush it!

The third blade.

The character of Suppress, suppress the heavens and earth!

The fourth blade.

The character of Shock, layers of tremors!

The fifth blade.

The character of Shatter, shatter the void!

Crack!

The sound of Thunder Thought breaking resonated.

Shattered!

The Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought shattered under the five blades of Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars.

Cracks spread across the Thunder Thought.

Finally, the Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought exploded with a bang.

"How is this possible?"

Within the Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought, Jin Xinwu's voice, filled with endless doubt.

He couldn't fathom it—Lin Wudi was merely at the Second Thunder Tribulation, relying only on the power of magical treasures, yet managed to shatter his Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought!

Is this truly the Great Fate Bearer?

Even at the Second Thunder Tribulation stage, he possesses such formidable destructive power!

Jin Xinwu regretted it.

He felt he should not have involved himself in the Great Fate Bearer's disputes.

Alas, the shattered Seven Tribulation Thunder Thought could not convey his regrets to his true self.

Lin Mu stood with his left hand behind his back, his right hand pointing into the air, his gaze filled with slowly fading battle intent.

He had divined this tribulation long ago.

So, in the battle with Xu Ling, he held back, not wanting to overuse the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars.

This time it finally fulfilled his wish, to engage the strongest among the heavens—the Seven Tribulation clash.

Except, after the battle, there remains only emptiness.

The Seven Tribulation—nothing more.

Buzz!

The Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars hummed, returning to Lin Mu's side.

After being re-forged with the Gathering Star Stone, the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars can fully unleash the power of six Fragments, using nine times.

Before, the Seven Tribulations Talisman had already been used twice to destroy one thousand Thunder Thoughts of Xu Ling!

Added to the five times, a total of seven times!

One blade, one Thunder Tribulation!

One character, one universe!

Nine opportunities now remain only two.
