Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 490 - 445: The Dao Heart Shattered
"Heavenly Tribulation... How is that possible!"
The Green-tailed God was terrified. The power of the Thunder Sting was fearsome, and during the ritual, he had drawn that Thunder Sting Power into his own body. In an instant, the terrifying sky scorpion in the sky seemed to pierce through the chest of the Green-tailed God with its Thunder Sting Tail, spurting his internal organs out of his body...
His coffin instantly turned into dust, and he crashed onto those copper jars in the ancient tomb, with the power of the Thunder Sting still churning inside his viscera, causing him unbearable pain!
The Nine-tailed God's Primordial Spirit was scattered, and the Green-tailed God reverted back to the appearance of a cultivator, except his entire skin was now charred.
He staggered to his feet, his gaze fixed intently on the gradually fading Heavenly Tribulation thunder in the sky, and finally, he noticed something amiss.
"This isn't the Heavenly Tribulation; it's a Thunder Guide you created!" bellowed the Green-tailed God.
His anger reached its peak. Just a moment ago, seeing himself like a piece of ironstone drawing the overwhelming thunder onto himself, it was identical to the scene of him attracting the Heavenly Tribulation when his cultivation reached a certain vertex, hence instinctively, fear emerged, causing his body to curl up like a pitiful insect.
But the true Heavenly Tribulation and this Thunder Sting power were worlds apart; just that one sting was enough to annihilate his Primordial Spirit and turn his body to ashes; it couldn't possibly be like now, merely piercing through his chest and abdomen.
He had been deceived!
What was even more hateful was that they had replaced his Night Blood Stone with a Thunder Sting Stone, no wonder dense threads of lightning were directly assaulting his body.
"Don't think the gods are oblivious to the sins you committed in Tongtian City, if you had earnestly cultivated, I wouldn't dare to touch you today. But by scheming to deceive the people to aid your ascension to immortality, that has become the greatest flaw in your invincible body!" Wu Hen remarked disdainfully.
"I thought you were someone honorable and upright, but it turns out you are just a crafty villain. Even if you've damaged my viscera, I can still consume you!" The Green-tailed God was completely enraged.
He thought of escaping, fleeing into the Wilderness Jungle, whether to bide for time or to use its complexity to barely scrape by...
But at this moment, the Green-tailed God couldn't swallow this grievance!
He believed he could defeat his opponent, as he sensed that the aura on Wu Hen's body was not dense and showed signs of depletion.
A mere Saint Child Realm, even if equipped with a Supreme Holy Soul, couldn't possibly support the Divine Power of the Holy Soul for too long; the advantage was still on his side.
"You and I have no grudges, yet you press me so aggressively, even if I die today and my path ceases to exist, I will still bury you here!" The Green-tailed God charged over, his nimble and strong nine tails transforming into sharp weapons.
Two of the nine tails were extremely hard; when they heavily slashed down, it was akin to the Heavenly Pillar falling upon the earth, cleaving a deep Canyon into the ground.
The Blood Punishment Heavenly Saint Soul on Wu Hen's body had already dissipated.
Just as the opponent guessed, this extremely tyrannical Blood Saint Soul couldn't last long and consumed too much of Wu Hen's Holy Breath.
But Wu Hen merely took a few breaths, and Spiritual Energy surged into his body like a tide from all directions. With a simple absorption, the Holy Breath inside his body was instantly replenished!
During the millennium trial by the Disaster, Wu Hen had mastered this instant Spirit Replenishing Technique; he couldn't possibly encounter exhaustion of Holy Breath and Essence Qi.
Even after ascending to the Saint Child Realm, Wu Hen's Holy Breath reservoir was still a small dam, not very large, but the filling rate was quite fast. The surge of Spiritual Energy came like a tidal wave and could fill up in a mere breath...
Of course, the consumption rate of Holy Breath was also fast; after all, the Holy Souls inside his body were all totems far above his own cultivation. It's not that Wu Hen likes to show off in front of others, a battle requires the replacement of several totem Holy Souls. It's really because the Holy Breath storage in his own body can't maintain the arrival of Holy Souls for long, and every Holy Soul has a cooldown period after it appears.
Wu Hen, having refilled with the Breath of Saint Child, decisively summoned the Holy Soul again.
The thunder that had just ceased boomed again, thick links of electricity snaked through the low sky, branches of thunder like ancient trees spread across the high clouds, and densely packed thunder spots formed a giant rock wall...
Ultimately, these different forms of thunder converged into a magnificent Thunder Mountain, which, even before falling, seemed to obliterate the entire Wilderness Jungle below.
The tails of the Green-tailed God became stiff.
He looked incredulously at Thunder God Mountain above his head, as if he was witnessing the Heavenly Tribulation that constantly appeared in his nightmares. As someone inherently susceptible to thunder, when reincarnated as a common man, he had several lives inexplicably struck dead by lightning, making the Green-tailed God deeply terrified of thunder!
Wu Hen stretched out one hand and held the gigantic Thunder God Mountain aloft.
This was the Divine Power of the Jade Emperor Qilin. There was a time when Wu Hen, seeing the Thunder Mountain appearing, would ready himself to reincarnate. Hence, now wielding the Divine Power of the Thunder Mountain, an emergency response inexplicably occurred; his facial muscles twitched slightly...
But seeing the trembling appearance of the Green-tailed God, the corners of Wu Hen's mouth couldn't help but rise. It was apparent that the Green-tailed God must have been someone similarly traumatized by lightning too, who had transformed from being tormented to becoming the supreme aggressor, and this feeling was quite delightful.
No wonder so many beings desire to defy the heavens to cultivate and ascend to sainthood—to enjoy this feeling of dominating others' lives like the lord of the heavens!
"Savor carefully the Heavenly Tribulation that I've personally crafted for you!" Wu Hen laughed arrogantly.
With a flip of his palm, he then pushed it fiercely downward.
The man-made Heavenly Tribulation suddenly sunk down, and the terrifying Thunder God Mountain heavily pressed onto the body of the Green-tailed God. His once unstoppable Nine-tailed Divine Primordial Spirit instantly extinguished, turning into countless elemental threads of ash, scattering between heaven and earth as if they had grown wings.
Having lost the powerful Nine-tailed Divine Primordial Spirit, the Green-tailed God was reduced to a mere Cultivator. His physical body had not cultivated to the undying and indestructible realm. The Thunder God Mountain suppressed him inside the ancient tomb and unleashed the most terrifying thunder tribulation to perform Lingchi on his physical body!
The Green-tailed God vainly attempted to use his tail to protect himself, hoping to barely survive this lifetime.
However, his tail was also shattered, and the remaining eight tails were all destroyed by the thunder.
Thunder illuminated the sky, transforming the earth into a sea of lightning.
The wails of the Green-tailed God also echoed throughout this Barbaric Land.
He exhausted his last bit of Qi and crawled towards the inside of the ancient tomb.
Upon reaching a meditation platform, he finally stopped moving.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!"
Suddenly, the Green-tailed God burst into frenzied laughter, his bloodied figure still staring with those fox eyes at Wu Hen, who hovered like a true god.
He watched Wu Hen approaching him, then kept laughing continuously.

"You've won, your skills are superior, all the plans Jiang Heng and I made have inadvertently become your dowry... haha..." The Green-tailed God still had one breath left, but he stubbornly refused to let it go, clearly wanting to finish his words, "Do you know why I didn't flee? If I really wanted to escape, no matter how powerful your Divine Skills, you couldn't keep me!"
"You speak your last words quite fluently." Wu Hen found that this Green-tailed God was indeed tough, able to speak even under these circumstances.
"Last words??" The Green-tailed God laughed again, his laughter filled with disdain, "In my long life, I have had far more tragic experiences than this time, among my former enemies you wouldn't even rank in the top hundred, this lifetime I didn't even recover all of my Primordial Spirit Power, at most I have only cultivated to a Demigod, still far from the towering presence I am capable of when resisting Heavenly Tribulation..."
"I know, you tread on thin ice every lifetime. You don't mind dying by my hands today, because you can fail countless times, while I might not have such an opportunity as you." Wu Hen didn't mind chatting with this Divine figure.
"You've made an eternal enemy for yourself, the karma of enmity with me is established, one day when I overcome the final Heavenly Tribulation and become the highest Supreme Deity, your path to divinity will forever be blocked by a deadly tribulation, a gift from me!" The Green-tailed God finally spat out these resentful words.
"Wait until your next reincarnation, when you're still carefully disguising yourself as a god misleading mortals, by then I will have reached a height you can never reach. When you're cornered, you might try praying to me, perhaps I'll look after you for today's help." Wu Hen said.
"Ridiculous, even if I reincarnate thousands of times, becoming a beast in the forests, I will never seek help from you. There will be one lifetime when I attain Supreme Deity status. By that time, I must tear through time-space, and when you are a step away from Supreme, I will crush you!" The Green-tailed God also uttered such a curse.
He was aware of his uniqueness.
He could reincarnate, carrying the memories of every lifetime.
There will be a lifetime in the Mahayana phase, and then he will settle accounts!
The Barbaric Land contains ancient relics that can disrupt time, and the true Barbaric Deities also possess the ability to traverse the ages.
"You think you're smart, yet think of ways to avoid Heavenly Tribulation. You think you're clever, but you don't quite grasp one very basic fact..." Wu Hen held a Thunder Spear in his hand, raising it to the Green-tailed God's heart, then delivered his final words, "If you really manage to become a Supreme Deity in one lifetime, a Supreme you would traverse through time and appear before us now, then slap me dead to save the you who's raging powerlessly..."
Wu Hen deliberately looked around and even glanced at the sky.
No higher-dimensional God seemed about to descend.
This statement made the Green-tailed God's body twitch. He strained to lift his head and gaze into the elusive Sky Dome...
"Impossible!! Impossible!! There will be one lifetime where I will become the Supreme Deity!!" The Green-tailed God, after contemplation, shook his Dao heart, and began to scream frantically.
"I'm not in a hurry, let's wait a bit longer, maybe the you who becomes the Supreme Deity got stuck in a time-space traffic jam, arriving later than expected," Wu Hen said.
The Green-tailed God stared at the sky.
Indeed, if there really is one lifetime where he becomes the Supreme Deity, and the Barbaric Deity controls the ability to travel through time, then that self who planted this karma would definitely come to the present to kill this extremely arrogant person.
But that self did not appear!
"Right, logically it doesn't make sense. This proves one point, no matter how many lifetimes you reincarnate, you can't become that Barbaric Power!" Wu Hen said.
This Green-tailed God, really, just die and go reincarnate if you can, accept this lifetime's defeat and try harder next lifetime.
To think you'd spout such threats.
Then you can't blame your own little mouth for being poisonous!
Directly shattering your Dao heart.
