Chapter 1729 Invisible Death

Soft Feather said, “I’m also seeing all the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group floating behind Senior Song’s father.”

Song Shuhang responded, “...I am Song Shuhang.”

Sure enough, they were the real Soft Feather and Doudou.

Soft Feather switched places with the Heavenly Emperor since the latter was using the former’s ghost spirit.

Meanwhile, Doudou switched places with Song Shuhang’s steel manifestation due to the ‘friendship mark’.

“Why is Senior Song so old? Senior Song, what in the world happened to you?” Soft Feather blinked. Also, has Senior Song’s left eye gone blind? Why does it look so dry?

Doudou said, “No, this should be an inner demon tribulation. Our heavenly tribulation was about to end, which is also when the inner demon tribulation appears.”

Song Shuhang sighed. “You aren’t experiencing an inner demon tribulation. It’s quite difficult to explain in a few words. Anyway, Soft Feather, Doudou, you two should come over here first.”

“Boom!”

While he was talking, the heavenly tribulation in the sky finished accumulating energy and descended again. The previous ‘purple-gold lightning pillar’ was just the prelude to the heavenly tribulation, and the real thing would start now.

From the heavenly tribulation, there were bursts of Buddhist chants that came out.

Afterward, a statue of a large Buddha made up of ‘tribulation lightning’ emerged from the tribulation clouds. The Buddha came out with its head pointed towards the ground, while its feet were pointed skyward. It was hanging upside down as it slowly descended, appearing unexpectedly domineering.

“Hum~” The large Buddha opened its mouth and hummed as it descended.

After hearing this heavy Buddhist sound, Song Shuhang felt his ears go deaf, and he could no longer hear anything.

The Roaring Lion’s Technique?

Or is it an enhanced version of Dharma King Creation’s deadly music?

The large Buddha statue continued to descend.

At this time, two puffs of white smoke sprayed from the nose of the Buddha statue.

As soon as the white smoke emerged, Song Shuhang felt that he had lost his sense of smell. The scents of Soft Feather, Doudou, Little Yinzhu all disappeared.

[Sensory deprivation... This is a terrifying Buddhist technique. It is something that already involves the principles and laws of the world. It isn’t something as simple as blocking one’s senses, but rather directly depriving one of them.] The voice of Dharma King Creation sounded in everyone’s minds.

Everyone was in a state where their primordial souls were resonating, which allowed them to communicate with each other mentally.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer smiled bitterly, and said, [The heavenly tribulation is becoming harder and harder to understand nowadays. Can this still be considered a heavenly tribulation?]

Song Shuhang remarked, [The heavenly tribulation is always evolving. The only thing we can do is to adapt to its changes as soon as possible. Those who cannot adapt will be eliminated.]

Dharma King Creation said, [I don’t know why, but seeing this extremely serious side of little friend Shuhang is leaving me rather unsettled. Hmm, be careful, it’s coming.]

The upside-down Buddha statue opened its mouth, and spat out a lifelike tongue with a flickering rune on it.

Song Shuhang and the others only felt that their sense of taste had been removed as well.

Dharma King Creation said, [What follows should be the senses of sight and touch. If we are deprived of all of these, we won’t be able to see, hear, or feel anything. At that point, we will only be able to passively receive a beating.]

In the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, falling into a passive stance was something that could prove fatal.

Song Shuhang asked, [At that time, would our divine sense still work?]

For cultivators, their five senses were actually not as sharp as their ‘divine sense’. With a casual sweep of their divine sense, everything around them would become as clear to them as the palm of their hand.

Dharma King Creation said, [After our senses are deprived, this large Buddha will definitely use something to restrict our divine sense.]

At that time, everyone would truly become no different from fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by the heavenly tribulation.

At this time, Soft Feather looked up at the sky.

Her senses of hearing, smell, and taste had already been taken away. In addition, she was not a primordial soul and was not resonating with Song Shuhang and the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, so she had not heard the conversation between them.

Soft Feather said, “Doudou, Senior Song, we should take the lead before our vision is stripped away as well!”

“???” Doudou.

Doudou transmitted his voice. [I can’t hear what you’re saying. Use the secret sound transmission technique.]

Soft Feather immediately used the group voice transmission technique, and said, [We should take the lead before our vision is stripped away from us as well. We should kill that Buddha!]

From the beginning to the end, Soft Feather had not fallen into a panic from having become involved in a group heavenly tribulation. On the contrary, she appeared to be in a rather joyful mood.

Doudou leaped up. He revealed his big monster dog form, used the wind-fire wheels, and headed towards the Buddha in the sky.

Soft Feather jumped on his back, and brought out a treasured sword, from which the screech of a phoenix rang out—it was the unique sword technique of Spirit Butterfly Island, Butterfly-Phoenix Transformation.

This was a Fifth Stage sword technique, so it seemed that the Fourth-Stage-Realm Soft Feather had become able to perform techniques past her own realm.

[Senior Yellow Mountain, let’s do it again!] Song Shuhang called out through the mental connection.

He raised the Holy Sword of the End. The giant 200-meter-long sword soared into the air like a huge battleship, casting a shadow down.

Their primordial souls resonated.

“?Heaven-Cast Profound Yellow Sword?.” Venerable Yellow Mountain cooperated with Song Shuhang to perform the peerless sword technique.

Sword intent billowed out, and profound yellow qi filled the sky.

The sword slashed out, accompanied by a supreme law.

And this time, the ?Heaven-Cast Profound Yellow Sword? was different. Previously, it was only Song Shuhang and Venerable Yellow Mountain who were in resonance with one another. But this time, most of the members of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ were in resonance.

When he slashed out with the sword, it was as if Song Shuhang’s entire person had become a weapon treasury as dozens of different attacks burst out from him.

In addition to the Holy Sword of the End, there were several weapons from the Impregnable Holy City that fell beside Song Shuhang.

Eight Arms of the Buddha—this was an ability that belonged to True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, and it now emerged from Song Shuhang through resonance. With this technique, he was able to grasp eight separate magical treasures.

The Tyrant Cuttlefish’s Twin Blades split apart, and one of the blades performed the Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea—Su Clan’s Seven’s strongest saber technique—while the other blade performed the Seventy-Two Mad Saber Strikes—Thrice Reckless’s inherited saber technique.

The Holy Master Ape’s Sword stirred and transformed into a night sky—it was Northern River’s Loose Cultivator’s Twelve Swords of the Milky Way.

The Great Giant Deer’s Bow vibrated and a black arrow was drawn on the bow, the tip of this arrow seemingly containing the power to destroy the world—it was Fairy Lychee’s strongest strike, World-Destroying Gate.

The Black Panther Commander’s Flag spun, and it performed the ‘Army-Destroying’ halberd technique—a skill which Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da prided himself on.

In addition, Song Shuhang also had many magical techniques and innate skills burst out from his body.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s ‘Ground Splitting’ skill, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon’s ‘Dragon Flash’, and True Monarch White Crane’s combination of ‘Holy Light’ magical techniques.

Song Shuhang’s figure rose into the sky while carrying the primordial souls of the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

While fighting the ‘heavenly tribulation Giant Buddha’, Song Shuhang’s figure swayed gently, looking like he was performing a complex dance—it was Fairy Dongfang Six’s Bewitching Dance.

The Bewitching Dance and Buddhist techniques mutually restrained one another, so it was especially effective against the heavenly tribulation giant Buddha.

It was just that the scene was quite spicy, with Song Shuhang currently having the face of a middle-aged man...

Anyway, Song Shuhang moved much faster than Soft Feather, and he arrived before the Buddha first.

The Holy Sword of the End and the various skills of the seniors, which were being displayed through the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure, all poured down on the heavenly tribulation Buddha.

The huge holy sword drew a line from the top to the bottom of the Buddha’s figure, cleanly cutting it in half. Song Shuhang’s figure plunged into the tribulation clouds headfirst, all while the profound yellow sword intent was ravaging the tribulation clouds.

Soft Feather followed closely behind, and she swung her sword from which Butterfly-Phoenix Sword Qi came pouring out. The sharp sword was inserted into the body of the heavenly tribulation Buddha as Doudou quickly circled around its body.

“Boom~”

The heavenly tribulation Buddha exploded, and filled the world with spiritual qi.

The pure spiritual qi was absorbed by Soft Feather and Song Shuhang, allowing them to recover a little bit of their spiritual qi and true qi.

In the sky, Soft Feather used the secret sound transmission technique and laughed. [Hahahaha, Doudou, your hair.]

Immediately after the tribulation lightning exploded, the hair all over Doudou’s body had puffed out, and he seemed to have become fatter.

Doudou rebutted, [Why don’t you take a look at the hair on your head first before laughing at somebody else’s hair?]

Soft Feather reached out and touched her long hair. It appeared that her long hair had also puffed and fluffed out. [Hahaha, this is so fun.]

At the very least, it was a lot more fun than when she and Doudou were transcending their own heavenly tribulation.

Just as she was laughing, Soft Feather suddenly felt her sight go dark.

Immediately afterward, even her sense of ‘touch’ disappeared.

Her hand was clearly touching Doudou’s puffy hair, but it couldn’t feel the slightest sensation.

Dharma King Creation said, [This is bad, we’ve been deprived of all our five senses.]

Fairy Lychee curiously said, [Didn’t we already blow up the Buddha?]

Dharma King Creation’s junior, Scriptwriter Monk Swallow Cloud, said, [I’m afraid this has something to do with the Buddhist ‘Blissful Singing’ technique. With this technique, the magical technique would continue being cast until it fully takes effect even if the caster is killed. The daoists, scholarly faction, and mages all have similar casting techniques.]

Song Shuhang called out, [Soft Feather, Doudou, activate your divine sense. We should gather up and return to the ground.]

Before their divine sense also got taken away, it would be best for them to gather together and return to the ground.

“At this time, it would be great if the Sage’s eye was still here,” Song Shuhang said regretfully in his mind.

The magical technique which deprived them of their five senses would definitely not work on an existence at the level of the Scholarly Sage.

Soft Feather, Doudou, and Song Shuhang all landed back on the ground.

Song Shuhang used the ‘Impregnable Holy City’ to shield Doudou and Soft Feather.

As their group of people returned to the ground, the entire ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ suddenly seemed to freeze.

This sensation was similar to a ‘Time Stop’.

Soft Feather, Li Yinzhu, Doudou, Song Shuhang, and all the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group behind him, froze and could not move.

This affected their ‘mental communication’, their body, and their consciousness.

[Beep~ Reconnected to the Dragon Network.] The Dragon Network Assistant had been ceaselessly trying to connect to the Dragon Network, and it had managed to establish a temporary connection once again.

[Detected the final wave of the heavenly tribulation, ‘Invisible Death’. All those who fail to pass this appraisal will be completely wiped out of existence.]

The final wave of the heavenly tribulation?

Wasn’t the heavenly tribulation just starting?

Song Shuhang tried asking, [Is there a way to transform it into a ‘Black Dragon World heavenly tribulation’?]

[Insufficient authority.] Moreover, this was not the Black Dragon World.

Song Shuhang inquired, [In what form is this heavenly tribulation going to descend? And how are we to deal with it?]

[Attempting to calculate.]

In the next moment, a scene was transferred to Song Shuhang’s mind.

In the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, there was a speck of ‘brilliance’ blooming, which seemingly contained the power of ‘destroying heaven and earth’. The brilliance erupted, and everything that came into contact with this ‘light’ was reduced to ashes and erased. There was no way to resist it.
