Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 249 - 250: The Frightened Away Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter 249: Chapter 250: The Frightened Away Heavenly Tribulation

With a crisp sound, the ancient bronze coffin in the courtyard was opened by Mu Can. But the content inside was beyond Mu Can’s expectations.

"What?"

Instead of the anticipated corpse within the coffin, there was a miniaturized lotus flower, quietly blooming inside the ancient bronze coffin.

"This is the Lotus of Heavenly Dao, nurtured by Qi Fortune; this flower is no ordinary thing." Wang Cai looked at the quietly blooming white lotus, nearly drooling at the sight.

Before Mu Can could react, Wang Cai, who appeared on Mu Can’s left arm, suddenly bit into the lotus flower.

Crunch!

With that bite, Wang Cai’s teeth were almost broken.

"Woof! What is this thing? Why is it so hard?" Wang Cai howled in pain, and though he wasn’t injured, having his teeth almost broken was not a pleasant experience.

"Alright, pluck it and keep it safe." Mu Can, feeling a sudden surge of trepidation, decided to harvest the treasure immediately.

Mu Can slowly extended his right hand and gently pulled, cradling the white lotus in his palm.

"Woof! That’s not fair, why?" Seeing Mu Can effortlessly pick the white lotus, Wang Cai was resentful, remembering his near dental disaster.

Before Mu Can could reply, the entire courtyard dissolved into sparks and lightning.

The courtyard and the ancient bronze coffin within it were originally transformed from a Heavenly Tribulation, intended to cultivate this white lotus. Now that the lotus had been picked by someone else, the courtyard naturally lost its reason to exist and vanished.

"Let’s go." Not only Mu Can’s courtyard but also all surrounding buildings seemed to fear Mu Can, disappearing from his sight.

Boom!

A few steps forward, Mu Can heard a loud noise as the eighth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation descended. To be precise, it appeared within the Tribulation Cloud itself.

Facing the three approaching figures, Mu Can revealed a slight smile.

With the protection of the Reincarnation Pearl, Mu Can didn’t mind whether three humanoid Heavenly Tribulations or six humanoid Heavenly Tribulations came his way; it was merely a question of effort for him.

A smile on his lips, Mu Can advanced, and with his previous combat experience, the fight was even shorter this time.

After a few moves, both man and dog were content, with Mu Can sitting down to process and absorb the Qi Fortune into his body.

Qi Fortune, being intangible and often unfelt, was now clearly sensed by Mu Can due to the absorption of six strands of Qi Fortune in such a short time—an astonishing opportunity that was extremely rare in the Mortal World. It was this brief yet concentrated absorption of Qi Fortune that made Mu Can distinctly aware of its presence within him.

Meanwhile, after absorbing a massive amount of Life Spiritual Energy, Wang Cai felt the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer’s space continue to expand, unable to close his grinning dog face.

"Woof! You’re really lucky, kiddo. It would be great if Heavenly Tribulations could appear with every breakthrough in the future."

Wang Cai looked at Mu Can, who was in deep meditation with a dignified expression, and spoke with anticipation.

When Mu Can became aware of the Qi Fortune inside him, he slowly stood up, the electric glow in his eyes gradually fading away, and his aura had undergone a groundbreaking transformation.

If before Mu Can was like a mountain peak, sharp yet restrained, solid and more than sufficient, now he was like a breath of fresh air, colorless, tasteless, formless and shadowless, yet truly existing, nimble and cheerful.

"You broke through?" Wang Cai sensed the change in Mu Can and asked.

"Almost there, I now have the strength of a Martial Saint, just waiting to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, to be recognized by heaven and earth, then I can completely enter the Martial Saint Level." Mu Can stretched lazily, this breakthrough was completely smooth, not only because the Heavenly Tribulation posed danger, but he also gained a tremendous benefit.

"Eh? Why has the surroundings changed?" Mu Can looked around with a puzzled face.

After entering the Tribulation Cloud, Mu Can discovered that the space within the Tribulation Cloud was surprisingly vast, and even the ground had appeared, which was what Mu Can was currently standing on.

It was hard to imagine that such a place existed within the Tribulation Cloud.

The previously faint and elusive courtyard had disappeared as soon as Mu Can had picked the white lotus, and now, even the ground beneath his feet was slowly transforming, as if it was about to disappear.

"Eh? Don’t run away, there’s still one Heavenly Tribulation that hasn’t come down yet?" Mu Can suddenly seemed to remember something, could it be that the Heavenly Tribulation was trying to escape?

As if hearing Mu Can’s call, the whole Tribulation Cloud vanished even faster, and the ground beneath Mu Can’s feet had completely dematerialized as if it was going to disappear the next moment.

"Wang! Kid, run forward, the treasure is in the middle." Wang Cai sniffed hard in the air and then pulled Mu Can to dash forward.

The ground beneath his feet was slowly disappearing, and the entire Tribulation Cloud was also gradually fading, and the originally pitch-black huge lotus was slowly turning white.

Relying on Wang Cai’s strength, Mu Can sprinted forward, his wings flapping behind him, pushing his speed to the limit, even creating afterimages, producing a whooshing sound as he cut through the air.

As the Tribulation Cloud was about to turn completely white, Mu Can stepped on the last solid piece of ground within the Tribulation Cloud.

In the center of the Tribulation Cloud was a plaza.

In the plaza, there also lay a massive coffin, and this time without needing Wang Cai’s reminder, Mu Can directly pounced on it, forcibly lifting the lid.

"Holy shit!"

He never expected that inside wasn’t a lotus, but rather a corpse dressed in Golden Armor.

"A corpse!" No matter what, Mu Can wouldn’t have thought that previously he assumed there should be a corpse inside the coffin, but it turned out to be a lotus instead, and when he thought there would be a lotus inside the coffin, it actually contained a corpse.

"Quick, this place is about to vanish." Wang Cai warned, but didn’t dare to bite someone as casually as before.

Seeing the huge coffin in the middle gradually becoming ethereal, Mu Can grew anxious and reached out to grab the huge coffin.

Who would have expected that strong lightning would come from the coffin, even the Silver Armor could not fully block this lightning, Mu Can inside the Silver Armor trembled from the electric shock, his whole body paralyzed as if numb.

Taking advantage of Mu Can’s paralysis, the bronze giant coffin instantly transformed into beams of lightning and dispersed in front of Mu Can.

Ah!

Mu Can roared angrily, enduring his paralyzed body, he lunged forward fiercely but lunged into emptiness, landing on the coffin lid he had opened. Mu Can felt as though he had caught hold of something, the ground beneath his feet vanished, and the entire Heavenly Tribulation disappeared just like that.

The ninth Heavenly Tribulation, didn’t appear at all.
