Chapter 1007

Fang Yuan asks Fairy Li Shan whether she can reach Blazing Heaven Demoness, since more reinforcements can only help. The ten extreme formation blocks her information path methods, and she fails. Only breaking free of the formation, Fang Yuan decides, will let them contact her, so he sets the question aside for now. With Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Fairy Li Shan holding Shadow Sect off Fang Yuan, and rank seven Ying Wu Xie too weak to take Heaven Overseeing Tower, the standoff drags on while the tribulations grow steadily stronger. ^{ch. 1007}

Golden light and tens of thousands of vajra pearls fall from the sky: the relic vajra tribulation, a grand tribulation and stronger than any heavenly tribulation. Calamities and tribulations rank by increasing strength: earthly calamity, heavenly tribulation, grand tribulation, then myriad tribulation. Rank six Gu Immortals, on green grape immortal essence, face an earthly calamity every ten years and a heavenly tribulation every hundred, rising to rank seven after three. Rank seven, on red date immortal essence, faces an earthly calamity every ten years, a heavenly tribulation every fifty and a grand tribulation every hundred, rising to rank eight after three more centuries. Rank eight, whose apertures make white litchi immortal essence, faces a heavenly tribulation every ten years, a grand tribulation every fifty, and a myriad tribulation every hundred. Three myriad tribulations carry a rank eight to the invincible rank nine. Most Gu Immortals slow the time in their apertures to prepare, and Heavenly Court’s rank eights sleep through normal times as one of the best such methods, though paused time cannot be held long without rising cost. ^{ch. 1007}

Shadow Sect opens the dark clouds to let vajra pearls through onto all three Immortal Gu Houses inside, and Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, seeing the plan to make his Tower share the pressure, can only try to dodge. Myriad tribulations, known as apocalyptic myriad tribulations, are extremely difficult to survive, and passing one is an incredible glory drawing admiration across the Gu Immortal world. Only ten people in history have passed three: the ten venerables. Sword Immortal Bo Qing had passed two and stood favored to become a sword path Immortal Venerable, but he barely survived a failed third attempt and died trying again. As the relic vajra tribulation thins the dark clouds, Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals credit the stalling tactic, and Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord muses that the other party, however extremely strong in his time, cannot surpass heaven and earth. He explains that heaven’s will drives both fate Immortal Gu, housed in Heaven Overseeing Tower, and these tribulations, so his Tower takes far less damage than the other Immortal Gu Houses. He means to keep stalling until the ten extreme formation shows a flaw, then strike, and the other Heavenly Court Gu Immortals agree. ^{ch. 1007}

Shadow Sect’s Gu Immortals, extremely prepared, call the tribulation expected and say that sacrificing their other Immortal Gu Houses to protect Sacred Feather City was for this exact moment. Each Immortal Gu House has a specialty: rank nine Heaven Overseeing Tower’s attack of fate cannot be resisted but is unusable now, while Sacred Feather City refines wish power mortal Gu on its own from the wishes in it. Feathermen there have left an incredibly large stock of wish power mortal Gu. Even after the immortal killer move heavenly wish spent a large number, more than half of the stock remains. Shadow Sect activates it without counting the cost, and Sacred Feather City grows in every aspect, flying down to block the relic vajra tribulation and ease the formation’s pressure. Hei Lou Lan warns that Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage is already cracking, and Fairy Li Shan, ashen, could alone endure only two or three of the tens of thousands of pearls, whose numbers keep growing. Fang Yuan calls out that he has waited for this, and finally gives Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage his complete focus, sealing attacks aimed at it and hurling them back. ^{ch. 1007}
