1243: 308章_4 1243: 308章_4 Suddenly, someone pointed to a distant spot and shouted, “Look at the center of the Five Sounds Sect, where the Heavenly Tribulation lightning is most dense—the protective barrier there is still intact!”
“That’s right, the protective barrier on that side hasn’t been breached!”
“What’s going on over there?
That is clearly the place where the Heavenly Tribulation is most intense; it probably corresponds to the Five Sounds Peak of the Five Sounds Sect.
The barrier there should have been the first to break.
How is it still intact?”
“Could it be that the Five Sounds Sect has concentrated all their experts on the Five Sounds Peak?”
“That shouldn’t be the case either.
The lightning has even turned purple.
By all reckoning, the Five Sounds Sect should not be able to hold out.”
“Maybe they found some treasure in the ruins?”
“Let’s wait and see.
Right now, it is only the lightning aspect of the Tribulation; what follows will be the true test.”
As the voice of a man trailed off, violent winds suddenly arose above the Five Sounds Sect, followed by flames, frost…
all the various Heavenly Tribulations descended upon them at once!
The first stage of the Sect Tribulation is just the lightning, but the second stage is the simultaneous descent of countless Heavenly Tribulations!
In the void, lightning flashed, flames soared to the sky, heavy water crashed down, frost covered the land, dust swirled, and fierce winds howled…
The countless Heavenly Tribulations plummeted down, making it feel like the apocalypse had arrived.
Even from a great distance, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
The descent of the horrifying Heavenly Tribulation gave them an illusion as if it was not only aiming to obliterate the Five Sounds Sect but the entire world!
Inside the Five Sounds Sect, with the successive arrival of various Tribulations, more protective formation barriers were broken, and all kinds of Tribulations pounded the earth relentlessly.
For a time, mountain peaks were destroyed, the ground was pounded into huge craters, and in some places, even the underground springs were smashed open, filling the interior of the Great Teaching with rolling clouds of dust and smoke.
Within the Great Formation, one after another disciple of the Five Sounds Sect was severely injured due to the destruction of the formation barriers.
At the same time, more disciples quickly entered the formation, replacing those who had been wounded.
“Junior Brother, you’re injured; quickly leave and heal yourself!” A resolute-faced man entered the formation and grabbed a pale-faced disciple, whose white robe was stained red with his own blood, and began to drag him out of the formation.
However, that disciple, despite his injuries, stood firm in the formation, blocking his senior brother.
“No, Senior Brother, I can still hold on.
You guard the formation from outside.”
“Hold on?
What are you holding on for?
Go and heal!”
“No, Senior Brother, I don’t need to heal!
Right now, our Five Sounds Sect is facing the Tribulation, how could I possibly go heal myself!
I can still serve; I can still contribute my strength!”
Not far away, someone else was shouting, “Quick, protect the formation, don’t let the Heavenly Tribulation strike the formation, as long as the formation isn’t damaged, it can still be activated!”
As his voice barely faded, suddenly, a sound like the tearing of fabric reverberated.
Above the void, another protective barrier was shattered.
In an instant, sharp Wind Blades fell from the sky, ruthlessly slashing towards the Great Formation not far below!
Outside the formation, some disciples who had been holding on and guarding within the formation, but were too severely injured and forcibly dragged out by their senior brothers, looked up at the falling Wind Blades and an expression of resolute determination crossed their faces.
The next moment, the disciple whose body had been bent slightly due to his injuries suddenly straightened up, and the very weak aura behind him began to surge.
His figure flashed, flying towards the sharp Wind Blades that were falling, and the four Golden Cores in his back crazily swelled up, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
Around him, the crowd noticed his change, looking over, and someone began to shout.
“Junior Brother, come back!”
“Jin Mo, what are you trying to do!”
“Junior Brother…”
Jin Mo’s face revealed a radiant smile.
He was already grievously injured and without any use during the Sect Tribulation; he even needed protection from others.
His senior brothers had told him to retreat to the rear mountain to be with other Core Formation disciples, to face the Wind Fire Tribulation together.
If the others were still fighting, why should he retreat?
Indeed, he was severely injured and seemed to have no strength left to fight, but wasn’t he still a Golden Core-stage cultivator?
Even without the strength to fight, couldn’t he self-destruct his Golden Core?
He knew that with his current state, self-destructing his Golden Core would mean certain death, but what of it?
Now he was really protecting his Great Teaching!
If it weren’t for the Five Sounds Sect, he would have died long ago.
When he was young, his family was attacked by bandits, his parents were tragically killed protecting them, and he, along with a younger brother and sister, fled desperately.
But how could they, just children, outrun those bandits?
They were soon caught up with and about to be slaughtered under their swords when his master appeared and saved the three siblings.
His master then discovered their potential for Cultivation and brought them to the mountain.
The Five Sounds Sect had given him life, and now it was time for him to give back to the Five Sounds Sect!
He knew he was just one person and his power was limited; even if he self-destructed his Golden Core, it would have a negligible effect on the Sect Tribulation.
But he was determined to do it anyway!
Because that was his Great Teaching, that was his home!
If everyone thought about their own survival, considering that sacrificing oneself as an individual wouldn’t make much of an impact on the Sect Tribulation, then how would the Five Sounds Sect survive the Trial?
