My Master Knows It All

1356: Chapter 327_3 1356: Chapter 327_3 Cao Zhen watched from a distance as bolts of thunderstormed down crazily upon the Heaven Prayers Sect.

Meanwhile, shimmering protective barriers sprang to life within the sect.

However, in just an instant, these barriers shattered completely.

The number of disciples left within the Heaven Prayers Sect was truly too few.

Those who had joined the Great Teaching for less than a thousand years could leave during the Sect Tribulation without any impact.

He had no idea how many disciples had been with the sect for more than a thousand years and had yet to fall into slumber.

Judging by the time it took for those shimmering barriers to crumble, it likely wasn’t many.

In the Void, thunderbolts continued to relentlessly crash down.

The shimmering protective barrier of the Heaven Prayers Sect’s formation had long since vanished.

Cao Zhen, like everyone else present, had no idea what was happening within the Heaven Prayers Sect now.

All they could see was the mountain gate of the sect reduced to rubble from the relentless bombardment.

But as for the disciples within—were they all already dead?

When would the Sect Tribulation end?

That, they could not discern.

Among the crowd, Xiang Ziyu stared at the unending cascade of thunderbolts in the sky, and a sudden thought stirred in his mind.

In the next moment, he bolted forward.

The Heaven Prayers Sect’s Sect Tribulation wasn’t over yet, but what did that matter?

It wasn’t as though he had never endured a Sect Tribulation before.

Although this was a Sect Tribulation of 400,000 years, the kind faced by the Heaven Prayers Sect wasn’t nearly enough for the heavenly tribulations to converge into the form of a ferocious beast.

Compared to that, wasn’t this so-called tribulation merely trivial?

Why should he wait for the Sect Tribulation to end before charging into the Heaven Prayers Sect?

He could just as well go in ahead of time and snatch up those treasures!

All around, the crowd stared in stunned disbelief at Xiang Ziyu’s sudden dash forward.

“What is he doing?”

“Is he actually planning to charge into the Heaven Prayers Sect?”

“The Sect Tribulation isn’t over yet!”

“Has he gone mad?

Doesn’t he realize that entering now is tantamount to helping the Heaven Prayers Sect endure their tribulation?”

Everyone knew that Xiang Ziyu was at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, his physical body having also reached its absolute limit.

The problem was, as long as the Sect Tribulation wasn’t over, entering the sect would make Heaven consider him an ally attempting to help the Heaven Prayers Sect survive the tribulation.

The Heavenly Dao would then turn its assault on him as well.

Sect Tribulations were terrifyingly brutal.

History records taught that during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, a 100,000-year Sect Tribulation would last a full day, a 200,000-year Tribulation would last two days, and so on.

The Heaven Prayers Sect’s tribulation, however, was set to last four days.

As long as they endured those four days, they would have successfully passed the tribulation, even if there was only a single disciple left within the Great Teaching.

However, when the four-day limit ran out, if there was even one disciple remaining, the heavenly tribulations would continue descending.

At that point, nearly every remaining heavenly tribulation would strike directly at that final disciple.

Therefore, by charging into the sect, Xiang Ziyu would be treated by the tribulation as someone aiding the Heaven Prayers Sect.

The tribulation’s attacks would focus on him until everyone else perished, leaving only Xiang Ziyu, and the Sect Tribulation would still persist.

Even with all his power, it would be impossible for him to endure.

Unless he managed to escape at that critical moment.

But wasn’t he afraid of being too late to escape?

Moreover, among those from the Heaven Prayers Sect, the ones holding the deepest hatred were likely members of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

If they realized they couldn’t hold through the tribulation and noticed someone from Hundred Peaks Sect barging in, they might not even need Heaven to strike; the people of Heaven Prayers themselves might decide to take Xiang Ziyu down with them first.

Cao Zhen silently watched Xiang Ziyu rushing straight into the Heaven Prayers Sect without so much as a word, utterly at a loss.

This man’s way of thinking was completely incomprehensible.

Wasn’t he just chasing after death for the thrill of it?

He…

In the next instant, Cao Zhen froze completely.

At the very moment when Xiang Ziyu charged into the Heaven Prayers Sect, the tribulation clouds above the sect dispersed!

The Sect Tribulation had ended…

At that moment, Cao Zhen had only one thought: was this Xiang Ziyu perhaps the illegitimate child of the Heavenly Dao itself?

How else could it be that the exact moment he entered the sect, the tribulation would suddenly cease?

Was this purely coincidence?

“The Sect Tribulation has ended?”

“Quickly, go in!

Don’t let that scoundrel snatch the treasures!”

“Move!”

Suddenly, a frenzy swept through the crowd as disciples of the various Great Teachings rushed toward the Heaven Prayers Sect.

Cao Zhen, too, pushed himself to the limit, charging into the sect with all his might.

Meanwhile, within the Heaven Prayers Sect, Xiang Ziyu had barely entered when he noticed in the heavens a massive hand, formed from condensed mana, grasping countless treasures and flying toward the Void.

Without hesitation, Xiang Ziyu gathered the mana within his body.

Purple light surged through his palm as he slashed fiercely at the colossal hand streaking through the sky.

Five-thunder Righteous Method!

The purple lightning shot out, splitting the heavens as it struck the enormous mana-forged hand.

The massive hand trembled violently for a moment before it continued soaring upward into the Void.

Even an all-out attack from Xiang Ziyu couldn’t shatter the colossal hand, which was merely constructed of condensed mana.

“Hm?

Looks like something’s falling.” Xiang Ziyu’s eyes locked onto an object hurtling downward in the distance, resembling a glimmering ring.

Without hesitation, he rushed toward it at full speed.

In the distance, though the onlookers hadn’t yet entered the Heaven Prayers Sect, they could clearly see the gigantic hand reaching for the sky and Xiang Ziyu’s attack striking like lightning.

“That’s a giant hand condensed from the Power of the Heavenly Dao!”

“Something like this happened at the ruins of the Sound Doctrine Church before.

Treasures from the Sound Doctrine Church appeared after they failed to endure their tribulation, and the Heavenly Dao claimed some of them.

This must be a similar event.”

“That purple lightning—someone actually dared to attack the giant hand formed by the Heavenly Dao’s power!”
