Supernatural Insight Eyes

Countless dried corpses had already engulfed Di Nantian, and even more dried corpses under Ye Qiu’s control kept pouncing on him. One could see that the dried corpses were almost piled up like a mountain, completely obscuring Di Nantian’s figure.

Ye Qiu observed this scene. Although each dried corpse was not strong, their sheer numbers were overwhelming, reaching a level where ants could bite an elephant to death.

However, he wasn’t sure whether Di Nantian would perish in this sea of corpses.

A huge cluster of dried corpses was glued together, forming a massive semicircle.

Moreover, this semicircle kept expanding.

At this moment, a trace of unease suddenly appeared in Ye Qiu’s originally calm gaze, and then his eyes were fixed on the front.

Boom.

An astonishing scene unfolded. The piled-up dried corpses all exploded in an instant, turning into fragments.

In that moment, various bloody remains kept falling from the sky, piece by piece, like raindrops.

It was then that Di Nantian, who had been enveloped by the sea of corpses, emerged.

At this moment, there wasn’t a single dried corpse around him; they had all turned into fragments following his outburst earlier.

Di Nantian stared at the distant Ye Qiu and displayed a cruel smile.

Ye Qiu’s heart tightened, and he turned to leave, delving deeper into this deadly starfield.

Despite so many dried corpses, they couldn’t bring Di Nantian down, which only proved how terrifying Di Nantian was. Other celestial-level experts might have perished here.

Confronted with such a formidable opponent, Ye Qiu dared not let the enemy approach and continued heading further away.

While sprinting, he activated the death horn, and instantly, new dried corpses emerged to obstruct Di Nantian’s steps.

Di Nantian swept the surroundings, annihilating all approaching dried corpses and constantly closing the distance to Ye Qiu.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu felt that even with the sheer volume tactic of the sea of corpses, it was impossible to kill Di Nantian.

An idea occurred to him, and a primordial aura appeared on Ye Qiu.

Then, Ye Qiu said faintly, "First Tribulation, transform into a stele, suppress the sun and moon."

As soon as he finished speaking, new words arose: "Second Tribulation, myriad stars like me, divine punishment descends."

Then the Third Tribulation, energy surges through the galaxy, ancient wilderness essence.

Fourth Tribulation...

Fifth Tribulation...

All the way to the Eighth Tribulation, the path to ultimate sainthood in humanity, I rule the universe!

All eight tribulations within the Twelve Celestial Tribulations cultivation technique were unleashed, blasting towards Di Nantian one by one.

Ye Qiu placed great importance on the Twelve Celestial Tribulations. They had helped him resolve several crises before, and even though he wasn’t confident against Di Nantian using this technique, given that he only knew the first eight tribulations and the technique wasn’t complete, if there were the remaining four tribulations, he would be somewhat assured.

At present, it was a case of a dead horse being treated as a live one.

One tribulation followed another, landing on Di Nantian’s body.

Initially, Di Nantian didn’t take them seriously, yet when he felt the power of these combined attacks multiply, he began to pay attention.

He temporarily used his full power to dispel the force of these eight tribulations.

Seeing that Di Nantian withstood the accumulated power of the first eight tribulations without being grievously injured, Ye Qiu furrowed his brows. It was his first time encountering such a formidable opponent.

This left him at his wits’ end.

The dark arts were ineffective, the Six Paths Reincarnation technique had little effect, and even the three great treasures struggled to have an impact.

Now, even the Twelve Celestial Tribulations couldn’t resolve the immediate crisis.

And being in this mysterious, death-filled starfield, Ye Qiu felt the breath of death closing in.

Trying to survive in Di Nantian’s hands was truly not easy.

Watching as the first eight tribulations of the Twelve Celestial Tribulations were neutralized by Di Nantian, a peculiar sensation suddenly emerged in Ye Qiu’s heart.

Hmm?

This sensation wasn’t there earlier, but after he deployed the Twelve Celestial Tribulations, it gradually intensified.

Ye Qiu didn’t know what this sensation signified, only feeling that something, somewhere, was summoning him.

Ye Qiu dashed towards the direction of the summoning, speculating that it might be related to the Twelve Celestial Tribulations.

Could it be the Fengshan Stele?

If it truly was the Fengshan Stele, then it meant he would obtain the Ninth Tribulation, which could potentially resolve the current predicament.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The thought of obtaining the Ninth Tribulation grew increasingly intense in Ye Qiu’s mind.

It’s almost there, right in front of him!

Ye Qiu treaded the void constantly, stepping across the stars, feeling himself getting closer and closer to that summoning sensation.

Here we are.

The next second, Ye Qiu saw a stele standing on a small star, half-buried in dirt, looking like a tombstone from afar.

Yet Ye Qiu felt excited, having familiarized himself with the Fengshan Stele since he had the first eight tribulations; that half-buried stele embedded in the star was undoubtedly the Fengshan Stele.

Discovering the presence of the Fengshan Stele amidst a battle with Di Nantian and on the run, this coincidence made Ye Qiu feel as if he had been blessed by the heavens.

Whatever the reason, this sudden opportunity was enormously significant to him.

Ye Qiu dared not hesitate, rushing forward immediately, but abruptly stopped short of reaching it since several ancient corpses lay around the Fengshan Stele, clad in simple gray robes. Unlike previous dried corpses that had lost human form, with only a skeleton remaining, these ancient corpses looked lifelike, as if still alive, with seemingly elastic skin.

Finding such bodies near the Fengshan Stele, Ye Qiu hesitated to advance without knowing whether these corpses would become hostile toward him.

Di Nantian was already within a hundred meters, and in merely a breath, he could reach Ye Qiu’s back.

Intent on obtaining the Ninth Tribulation from the Fengshan Stele, Ye Qiu pushed forward despite the danger, aware of the threat posed by these ancient corpses.

Swoosh.

Ye Qiu immediately rushed to the Fengshan Stele, grasping it with both hands and pulling vigorously. The Fengshan Stele slowly came loose, and the corpses on the ground started to stir, upright with a cracking sound, and turned their gaze toward Ye Qiu, lunging at him like ravenous ghosts.

Behind him, Di Nantian, seeing Ye Qiu holding a stele in his hands, had only one intent: to kill Ye Qiu.

"Prepare to die!"

Di Nantian joined hands, directing a beam of light toward Ye Qiu’s back.

Faced with attacks from both directions, all perilous, Ye Qiu swiftly conjured the Taihuang Bell to envelop himself.

Soon, Di Nantian’s and the dried corpses’ attacks fell, causing Ye Qiu inside the Taihuang Bell to bleed from his orifices.

Yet a smile adorned his face because he had already pulled out the Fengshan Stele, and the method of the Ninth Tribulation had been transmitted into his mind.
