In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 115 The Shock of the Heavenly Tribulation

"How is this possible? Quick—"

Before the word "retreat" could be uttered, lightning struck the Yin-Yang Mirror. This was no small matter.

Heavenly tribulations are always stronger when they encounter stronger opponents. Just like when Ye Fan was undergoing the Saint Tribulation, those geniuses of the ancient human path, refusing to believe in the supernatural, rushed in to fight against the Lightning Emperor.

The Lightning Emperors' cultivation levels are the same as Ye Fan's, which means that Ye Fan is a Saint, and the Lightning Emperors are also Saints. They can't really be Emperors, otherwise there's no point in playing.

At that time, those geniuses had even stronger cultivation levels, and theoretically they could suppress the Lightning Emperor with their higher cultivation levels.

But the Great Emperor was not one to suffer injustice. Since his cultivation was limited by Ye Fan and he could not improve, he went straight into the Divine Forbidden Zone and beat Di Tian and several other geniuses to a pulp.

The tribulation that Zhang Taichu summoned this time was also comparable to his cultivation level, namely the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

However, when the lightning struck the Yin-Yang Mirror that day, the power of the heavenly tribulation immediately expanded, directly transforming into the Great Sage Tribulation!

That's it. With just one strike, ten top-tier experts were instantly reduced to ashes, along with all the magical artifacts in their Sea of ​​Bitterness, leaving not a trace.

Even the entire Immortal Abode Small World trembled violently and was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, the Undying Emperor's human skin deep within the Immortal Burial Ground unleashed its power, forcefully stabilizing the small world with its imperial might, preventing it from collapsing.

Zhang Taichu was also startled, and having almost messed things up, he quickly dispelled the tribulation clouds above his head.

As for why he was unharmed, it was all because he had set up a Heaven-Deceiving Array in the small valley beforehand, so the Heavenly Tribulation did not strike him.

This was also something he and the Black Emperor had agreed upon. In this battle, they would continue to use heavenly tribulations to destroy the enemy. No matter how many powerful beings came, as long as they didn't have something like the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern, they would all die!

Heavenly tribulations are never afraid of a large number of people; in fact, the more people there are, the greater the power and the wider the killing range of the heavenly tribulation.

Although it was only hit once, the Yin-Yang Mirror's surface cracked, making it the only thing that survived the Great Holy Calamity.

Zhang Taichu reached out and took it off, then called out to Qi Huoshui and the others in the distance.

"Everyone, the excitement's over. Go do what you were doing; there's nothing more to see here."

After saying that, Zhang Taichu ignored the group and turned back to the small valley to reunite with Ye Fan and the others.

Only then did the various schools of thought and the Immortal Divine Dynasty realize what was happening.

Looking at the terrifying crater created by the lightning and the ten wisps of ash above it, everyone was too terrified to speak.

They only snapped out of their shock when someone fled for their life.

"This—how is this possible! He's attracted another heavenly tribulation! Could it be that Zhang Taichu's cultivation has advanced to a higher level in just a few days?"

"Could it be that the one who attracted the heavenly tribulation last time was the Holy Body Ye Fan?"

"No, last time I saw it from afar, the tribulation aura that first appeared came from Zhang Taichu. On the contrary, Ye Fan, the Holy Body, was implicated and started his tribulation."

"So, this time the tribulation was caused by the Holy Body Ye Fan—but that doesn't make sense. My divine sense was locked onto Zhang Taichu the whole time, and the tribulation aura was coming from him. There's no mistake about that. But how do you explain that? It's impossible for someone to advance a small realm in just a few days."

They were all powerful cultivators at the second level of the Immortal Realm, so they naturally understood the difficulty of cultivation. Even though Zhang Taichu was only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, it was not something that could be achieved in just a few days.

"Normally, even if someone's understanding of the Great Dao is so profound that they can leapfrog several minor realms in one go, they still undergo tribulations together, not separately. This is illogical!"

Several great minds were puzzled, but just then, a great mind from the Hundred Schools of Thought had an idea.

"I understand now, this is no ordinary heavenly tribulation, but the profound mystery of immortal metal!"

"The profound mysteries of immortal metals?"

"Yes, each of the nine immortal golds has its own unique immortal gold mysteries. What Zhang Taichu revealed before was the immortal gold mystery of the Divine Mark Purple Gold, and he also obtained the inheritance of the Source Master through this."

"The profound mystery of the Dao Tribulation Gold is related to the Heavenly Tribulation, and Zhang Taichu happens to possess a Dao Tribulation Gold Armor—"

All the great powers understood.

"One person comprehended two profound mysteries of immortal metal? This talent is terrifying! Even the great emperors of the human race, before attaining enlightenment, didn't seem to be this monstrous, did they?"

"Although it's unbelievable, it's the most reasonable explanation at the moment!"

The powerful figures all had solemn expressions. Many of them had originally intended to take advantage of the situation, planning to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and let the Yin-Yang Sect and others make the first move.

They waited until Zhang Taichu was killed before taking action against the Yin Yang Sect.

In this way, not only can they obtain the spoils of war such as the Golden Armor of the Dao Tribulation, but they also avoid offending the Jiang family and Yaochi. It can be said that they have gained benefits without losing face, achieving two goals at once.

However now—

"If our deduction is correct, then it will be difficult to make a move against Zhang Taichu. Facing someone who can summon heavenly tribulations at any time, the higher one's cultivation level, the greater the power of the heavenly tribulations one will face."

"Zhang Taichu's current cultivation level is Dragon Transformation Realm, which means that you need to be at the Sendai Realm to be able to beat him."

"The tribulations in Sendai are extremely dangerous, and can easily lead to complete annihilation."

At this moment, an imperial uncle from an immortal dynasty spoke up.

"Not only that, the reason why that heavenly lightning was so terrifying was because it attracted the Great Saint Tribulation of the Yin-Yang Realm. In other words, we absolutely cannot use saintly weapons to deal with Zhang Taichu, because that would directly attract the Saint Tribulation, and the power would be even more terrifying."

Currently, the strongest force in Beidou is the second-level Immortal Realm expert. However, even with the strongest foundation, the second-level Immortal Realm expert simply cannot withstand the Holy Tribulation.

"We can't use sacred weapons, and we can't send experts at the Sendai Realm. If we only send people at the Dragon Transformation Realm, it's practically suicide!"

These powerful figures have very accurate eyesight; they have already seen that Zhang Taichu has extremely deep foundations, and it would be extremely difficult for cultivators of the same level to defeat him.

Moreover, Zhang Taichu also has Ye Fan, the Holy Body, by his side. The Holy Body is invincible among those of the same level, and even when challenging those of higher levels, it is extremely terrifying.

For someone at the Dragon Transformation Realm to come with such a combination is tantamount to suicide!

"We'll send the intelligence up first, and what we do next is beyond our control."

The various schools of thought and the powerful figures of the immortal dynasty all departed.

Qi Huoshui also quickly rushed out of the Immortal Abode's small world to report what he had just seen and heard to his brother.

In just half a day, news spread that Zhang Taichu had summoned a heavenly tribulation, annihilated ten top-tier experts in one strike, and seized the Yin-Yang Mirror, a legendary sacred weapon of the Yin-Yang Sect.

The news reached the Central Plains, the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Ridge, the Western Desert, and even the desolate Northern Plains.

At first, many people didn't believe it, after all, summoning a heavenly tribulation was too absurd, and in many people's eyes it was simply a fantasy.

But when everyone learned that the entire Yin-Yang Sect was furious about this and threatened to use all its power to reclaim its sacred weapon, they had no choice but to believe it.

That's a legendary sacred weapon, at the Great Sage level! You could say that without an Emperor-level weapon, the Yin-Yang Mirror is the strongest.

The Yin-Yang Sect was able to establish itself in the Central Plains because of the Yin-Yang Mirror.

Now that their sacred weapon has been stolen, how could they not be anxious?

Even if they were anxious, they could only shout in vain, because everyone had to take Zhang Taichu's secret technique of summoning heavenly tribulation at will seriously.

Otherwise, those ten top-tier experts would have been reduced to ashes.

In other words, they dared not act rashly until they had devised a way to deal with the heavenly tribulation.

While all the major powers were searching for ways to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Taichu, Ye Fan, and the others were frowning as they surrounded the Yin-Yang Realm.

"The divine weapon was struck down by heavenly tribulation?!"

Li Heishui brought his black face close to the Yin-Yang Mirror, looked it up and down, and even released his divine sense to observe it.

As a result, the space inside the mirror was incomplete and the god was lifeless. If it weren't for the slight fluctuations, it would be no different from being dead. At this moment, Ye Fan sighed.

"It's truly hopeless. I destroyed the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion before and snatched a black gourd from him. The deity inside was also dead. Now it works intermittently, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it."

Ye Fan's words piqued Zhang Taichu's interest, so he asked Ye Fan to take out the black gourd for a look.

Reaching out to take the black gourd, Zhang Taichu immediately confirmed that it was an imperial weapon that appeared frequently in the fan fiction novel "Covering the Sky".

Ye Fan once cut out a weapon spirit in the Holy City, which was specifically used to repair imperial weapons. Many readers of "Covering the Sky" had made this connection at the time.

That is to fuse this weapon spirit with the black gourd, restoring it to a true imperial weapon.

However, the matter was ultimately dropped, and it's unclear whether Chen Dong forgot to write it down or whether the idea simply wouldn't work.

Zhang Taichu is now basically certain that this plan won't work.

Because the divine essence of each imperial weapon is unique; it is a continuation of the Great Emperor's lineage and contains all of the Great Emperor's knowledge.

In other words, the essence of the Imperial Weapon lies entirely in the deity; the Imperial Weapon itself is merely a shell custom-made for the deity.

The spirit of the black gourd is dead; even if a new soldier spirit were put in, it would be a complete mismatch.

It might be able to restore some of its power, but to think it could return to its flawless imperial form is wishful thinking.

Even the celestial fire in the Fire Domain can only restore the imperial weapon of a god who is not dead. If the god is truly dead, the celestial fire is useless.

Based on Zhang Taichu's current knowledge of weapon crafting, he felt that the weapon spirit in the Holy City Source Stone could only be used to repair the Emperor's weapon.

What does that mean? For example, after Ye Fan became an emperor, the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron was accidentally broken, and the gods inside died.

At this time, he could use that weapon spirit to repair the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, because Ye Fan was already a Great Emperor at that time, and could easily pour his own Dao into the weapon spirit, making it the second deity of the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron.

The focus is on Ye Fan, not the weapon spirit. Even without the weapon spirit, he can still repair the imperial weapon, it just takes longer.

Ye Fan is currently only at the Fourth Extreme Realm. Even if he forcibly merges his weapon spirit with the black gourd, it is impossible to restore it to an Emperor Weapon. At most, it will have more functions than it does now and be easier to use.

"I can't do anything about this black gourd, but there's still a chance to save this Yin-Yang Mirror."

Zhang Taichu used the upgraded version of Nirvana Fire, Phoenix Fire, directly injecting it into the Yin-Yang Mirror, enveloping the deity inside and helping it recover.

As for the cracks on the mirror, there's no rush. Zhang Taichu has never lacked immortal gold, so repairing it would be very simple. The key now is the divine being inside.

Previously, Zhang Taichu had only repaired saintly weapons at the saintly and saintly king levels; this was the first time he had repaired a great saintly weapon.

It turned out that while the Phoenix Fire was useful, its effect was far less immediate than when rescuing saints and saint-king level holy weapons.

"It seems that my Phoenix Flame level is too low. If I want to truly revive the Yin-Yang Mirror, I'm afraid I'll have to fully comprehend the most core immortal flame of the Fire Domain."
