I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 10: Boarding the Thief Ship of the System

"Black Sand Daoist... why does this name sound so familiar?"

Xia Yi furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of familiarity with this name.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him. Wasn't Black Sand Daoist the original host's master?

A hazy memory scene emerged in his mind:

Black Sand Daoist and the original host were fiercely fighting against a Xuanmen disciple.

That Xuanmen disciple was dressed in white, elegant and ethereal, with a noble and jade-like appearance, truly otherworldly.

Although he only had the strength of a second-level Heavenly Tribulation, the bead the size of a sea bowl above his head was an immensely powerful immortal treasure.

In the end, with the combined efforts of the master and disciple, they finally broke through the brilliance of the pearl and killed that disciple.

Afterwards, Black Sand Daoist obtained the pearl, and the original host also obtained several decent Law Weapons.

Silence!

Still silence!

"Do you understand the cause and effect now? I'll send you on your way now!"

Dong Shuangcheng revealed her snow-white jade feet, her round and slender calves resembling beautiful jade.

Such a beautiful fairy emitted a strong killing intent. Countless birds in the distant forest flew away in alarm.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, furrowing her brows in suspicion. "The second Primordial Spirit? The Profound Yin Pearl!"

Xia Yi smiled faintly. "A small Daoist like me is cautious and likes to use a clone to explore the way when going out!"

"What about your true self?"

The killing intent in Dong Shuangcheng's eyes grew even colder.

"My true self has always been inside the South Heaven Gate. I dared to come out only after seeing the fairy leave the gate. Right now, I'm in the midst of Transcending Tribulation!" Xia Yi chuckled.

"The second Primordial Spirit cannot be too far from the true self. After I destroy your second Primordial Spirit, I will find your true self by following the trail!" Dong Shuangcheng pointed with her right hand, and a starlight shot out, condensing into a three-foot-long sword. The sword's body and hilt were seamlessly integrated, emitting a brilliant light, with a sharp edge as thin as a cicada's wing.

Xia Yi smiled slightly and took out a talisman, which was a Return to City talisman.

Then a terrifying spatial force erupted.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Dong Shuangcheng's face turned pale, but she remained silent.

On the other side, Xia Yi's true self was in a critical moment of Transcending Tribulation.

Due to the accumulation of merits, he was facing the Forty-Nine Small Heavenly Tribulations, which were considered less powerful among the various tribulations.

A lotus the size of a water tank slowly rotated above his head, emitting billions of rays of light. The thunderbolts in the tribulation clouds were of no use to him.

Soon, thirty-six heavenly thunderbolts had struck.

"Due to the merits, the power of the heavenly tribulation has greatly diminished. It should be stable now."

Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

With the descent of the second-to-last heavenly thunderbolt, he began to relax. Only the last heavenly thunderbolt remained, and the Transcending Tribulation would be successfully completed.

But the last heavenly thunderbolt did not descend. Instead, a terrifying pressure came from the sky.

"Wasn't it the Forty-Nine Small Heavenly Tribulations? Something seems off."

Xia Yi was stunned.

In the sky, the tribulation clouds began to gather rapidly, forming a huge gray cloud that rotated slowly...

Purple light kept flashing, thunderbolts kept converging, and the power of the heavenly tribulation surged frantically.

Boom!

A thunderbolt with a diameter of thirty feet and an unknown length fiercely struck, causing the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus to tremble.

Before Xia Yi could react, the second purple thunderbolt struck.

Immediately after, more and more heavenly thunderbolts turned into a sea of purple, forming a thunder pool!

Endless lightning engulfed Xia Yi, and a purple radiance filled the sky and earth. This was the vastness of lightning, extremely terrifying.

Purple twilight filled the air, thunderstorms were everywhere, and every inch of space was filled with terrifying brilliance, capable of destroying everything.

"Boom!"

The thunder roared, vast and mighty, as if the ancient thunder god was beating the war drum.

Xia Yi activated the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus, struggling to resist the thunderous light from all directions.

The defensive power of the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus was unquestionable, containing an innate restriction within.

However, the problem was that Xia Yi had not completely refined it, so he couldn't exert its full strength.

"This is clearly the legendary Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation."

Xia Yi felt anxious in his heart. He clearly had accumulated merits, so how could he attract such a legendary calamity?

He was in the purple thunder sea, although he had the Pure World White Lotus protecting him, there were still stray heavenly thunders breaking through the protective aura. His skin instantly cracked, his body charred black, enduring unimaginable injuries.

If it weren't for soaking in medicinal baths every day, strengthening his physical body, he would probably only have his Primordial Spirit left by now.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

The purple thunder sea disappeared, and the world instantly became calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Yi slowly stood up. Although he was charred black by the heavenly tribulation, his eyes were incredibly clear and bright.

Then, the charred old skin fell off, revealing new skin that shimmered and sparkled, full of vitality.

Although the power of the heavenly tribulation exceeded his imagination, he almost couldn't withstand it.

But the gains were also tremendous. His physical body and Primordial Spirit were tempered by the thunder and lightning, and he gained profound understanding of the order of the heavens and earth, making significant progress in his cultivation.

"System! What's going on? Could it be that the merits you granted are fake?"

Xia Yi called out in his heart.

With the merits he possessed, it was absolutely impossible to attract the Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation.

The only explanation was that the merits were fake!

It was like using counterfeit money to buy things and then being discovered by the shopkeeper, naturally resulting in a beating.

"The merits granted by the system are real."

After an unknown amount of time, the system finally replied.

"What's the deal with the Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation?" Xia Yi quickly asked.

But no matter how he asked, the system just wouldn't answer.

Xia Yi also felt somewhat helpless. Since he had boarded the system's thief ship, he could only go all the way to the end.

"If the merits are real, then the system must be connected to the Great Dao of this world..."

He was afraid that this system was related to some chaotic gods and demons, and at that time, the six Heavenly Dao Saints and the person from the Purple Sky Palace would all become his enemies.

"Also, if it's really related to the chaotic gods and demons, the person from the Purple Sky Palace would have already annihilated themselves, rather than just bringing down the Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation to temper themselves."

Thinking of this, Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation was too overwhelming, and he didn't dare to stay here any longer. So he summoned a fairy sword he obtained from the Demon Slaying Platform and quickly flew away.

After a short while, several figures flew over from a distance, riding on streaks of light.

The colors of the streaks of light varied, and their sizes were also different, obviously indicating the difference in their cultivation levels.

The leader of the streak of light condensed and did not disperse, appearing as a green color, with a radius of half an acre. In the middle, a middle-aged Daoist appeared, wearing a purple-gold Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Robe, his black beard fluttering, his eyes like lightning, carrying a long sword on his back and holding a whisk in his hand.

The other Daoists trembled and quickly said, "Greetings, Senior Ku Yun!"

Ku Yun was a Celestial Immortal from the Heavenly World, who became immortal during the era of the Five Emperors. He was renowned, and he frowned, saying, "Someone was crossing the Thunder Tribulation here just now, and it seems to be the legendary Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation!"

"Purple Sky Desolate Abyss Devil Tribulation?!"

The people looked at each other, somewhat shocked.

"It is rumored that only extremely wicked and sinful demons and monsters will attract such a calamity from the heavens. Could it be that another peerless demon has appeared in the Heavenly World?"

"Is the Heavenly World going to be in turmoil again?"

Some immortals worried.

Ku Yun laughed heartily, "There's no need to worry too much, everyone. This little evil creature only has the strength of a first-time tribulation. It may not be able to overcome the next two tribulations, and besides, this place is close to the Heavenly Court. Even if that demon grows up, it won't cause much of a stir!"

"What Senior Ku Yun said makes sense!"

After some greetings, everyone left.
