Chapter 1157: Chapter 489: Jianmu Disaster Tribulation (Part 2)

The Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva seemed to sense something and looked up towards the depths of the sky,

only to see countless heavy tribulation clouds suddenly extend countless brown leaves and branches. Although they didn’t match the previous number of small silver swords from the Silver Sword Tribulation, the quantity was not far off. At the very least, the branches extending from the tribulation clouds numbered over a hundred thousand!

Because these leaves and branches were within the tribulation clouds in the high sky, they appeared not too large, but in reality, their size was astonishing. Each leaf had a diameter of several thousand zhang and was hundreds of zhang thick, while the gray-brown branches were extremely thick, possibly hundreds of zhang thick, and exceeded a length of ten thousand zhang!

Such enormous leaves, any one of them falling could cover a vast mountain range. What’s even more terrifying is that these leaves, as they slightly sway, seem to contain unparalleled power, far more frightening than the small swords of the Silver Sword Tribulation in the fifth round of tribulation...

As these branches and leaves continued to wriggle and grow,

suddenly blush buds appeared between the giant leaves and on the branches. Over time, these buds grew larger until they bloomed into flowers nearly ten thousand zhang in diameter!

Seeing such strange and shocking scenes, the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva, having just crossed the dreadful Silver Sword Tribulation, couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brow.

Within the distant Luo Water Array,

upon seeing the appearance of those leaves and branches, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race couldn’t help but stand, revealing a noticeable look of apprehension and said in a somewhat low tone:

"This Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is indeed one tribulation more dreadful than the other. The third and fourth Netherworld Water Tribulation and Celestial Spirit Fire would be enough to make some slightly weaker Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses despair. The Silver Sword Tribulation ranks among the deadliest twelfth celestial tribulations; even a top-level Strongest Immortal Lord like Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva would fall without the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact gifted by Immortal Lin. And now this sixth round’s attack turns out to be the Jianmu Calamity!"

"Jianmu Calamity?" Lin Xuankong curiously gazed at those giant branches and leaves in the distant sky.

The Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race nodded gravely, "Among the various tribulations in the world, three celestial tribulations have never been crossed by anyone — Five Elements Extermination Tribulation is one such, a name that strikes fear into many. Besides these three celestial tribulations, there are nine other tribulations considered as calamities, meaning that once these tribulations appear, they are nearly unstoppable like natural disasters! This Jianmu Calamity is one of them, ranked ninth, posing an extremely frightening threat to Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses. Yet, because seniors of ancient times did manage to cross it with strong abilities and treasures, it’s considered less terrifying compared to the three celestial tribulations!"

Sighing, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race shook his head and said, "Facing the previous Celestial Spirit Fire, Netherworld Water, and Silver Sword Tribulation, I might gather courage to combat it. But if I face the Jianmu Calamity when crossing my final celestial tribulation one day, I’m afraid my only choice will be to wait for death!"

For this talented Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race to utter such words, implying that the Jianmu Calamity is more frightening than Celestial Spirit Fire and the Silver Sword Tribulation, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but focus his attention, observing more carefully outside.

Beside him, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er suddenly showed a slight smile, a hint of pride in her eyes, and spoke:

"Why be so pessimistic, Elder Clan Leader? We have all seen how the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva easily blocked the Silver Sword Tribulation ranking just below the Jianmu Calamity with Xuankong’s Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! With this Eight-Grade Immortal Artifact, the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva should handle this Jianmu Calamity easily!

As for your future crossing of the final celestial tribulation, with Xuankong’s Path of Artifact Refining, if Elder Clan Leader waits some time for Xuankong to refine more Eighth-Grade, or even Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, then when facing the Jianmu Calamity, you shouldn’t worry, you’ll surely cross it easily!"

If Guang Yu’er had said this before the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva crossed the Silver Sword Tribulation, the Qilin Race’s Elder Clan Leader might have thought her words were exaggerated. But having witnessed Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva easily block the Silver Sword Tribulation, hearing Guang Yu’er now caused him to perk up and gaze enviously at the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact propelled by the distant Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva!

At this moment,

the giant buds growing on the massive branches in the high sky began to wither, and a massive amount of red powdery pollen flew rapidly from the position of the blossoms!

After these pollen flew out from the stamens, they floated towards the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s location; the sheer number of giant branches meant an enormous number of flowers, and when these giant flowers released their pollen, it was as if the sky rained countless red pollen droplets. Strangely, these myriad pollen particles all floated towards the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva, not scattering like normal pollen drifting in the wind!

Beneath the countless pollen particles, the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva furrowed her brows tightly, fully mobilizing her Immortal Yuan,

Her Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact above her head instantly transformed into a stream of light, shooting towards the myriad pollen falling from the sky!

Within the distant Luo Water Array,

the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race saw the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva actively use her Immortal Artifact to attack the pollen, couldn’t help but nod:

"Facing such Jianmu Calamity, Great Achievement Yu Ming fellow Daoist probably has no choice but to go on the offensive to gain a chance for survival. I hope she can use the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact gifted by Immortal Lin to obliterate every particle of pollen!

These floating red pollen particles seem beautiful and harmless; in reality, they all are Jianmu Pollen. If they fell near a cultivator, each pollen would immediately swell, crazily absorbing the Tribulation Crosser’s Immortal Yuan, and grow into a small Jianmu until they drain all of the Tribulation Crosser’s Immortal Yuan, blood, and Divine Soul, then stop!

Key point is,

According to what I know,

there is no cultivation technique or talent in this world that can combat or suppress the absorption of Jianmu Pollen!

To avoid the absorption of this pollen, the only way is to prevent the pollen from approaching, striking it into dust and powder from a great distance using an Immortal Artifact; otherwise, if any pollen lands within a thousand zhang of the Tribulation Crosser, it would empty their Immortal Yuan swiftly, leading to total defeat and death! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

These pollen particles seem small, smaller than a typical head yet incredibly sturdy, containing the terrifying life force of the mystical plant Jianmu. Even low-tier Immortal Artifacts activated by a Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse can’t destroy any particle of pollen!

Hopefully... hopefully the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s activated Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact can obliterate the vitality of this pollen!"

At this point, the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race fell silent, tightening his brow while fixating on the Great Achievement Yu Ming Bodhisattva’s activated Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact!

Listening to the Elder Clan Leader of the Qilin Race, Lin Xuankong was secretly astonished,

Jianmu Calamity, Jianmu Pollen, not to mention these, just the word Jianmu sounds incredibly powerful! According to ancient mythologies recalled from his previous life, Jianmu was revered as the divine tree linking heaven and earth in the ancient mythical era!

Just uncertain if this Jianmu is the same as the Jianmu in the Blue Star’s mythological lore...

However, relying solely on the Elder Clan Leader’s description, one can feel the daunting nature of Jianmu Pollen, that each pollen nearing a thousand zhang can rapidly drain a Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouse to their last breath...
