Chapter 653
The palace was tall and stood right in the middle of the areas that were targeted by the rank 6 Tribulations .
Shining inscriptions covered its surface and gave it a luxurious and grand aura .
Half of the structure was hidden behind a square defensive wall that had statues of mighty magical beasts on the top of its corners .
Noah didn't have time to analyze those beasts since his view turned orange, signaling the beginning of the barrage of lightning .
The trio's focus went on the defensive measures of the elders .
The one hundred layers of ice were pierced in less than ninety seconds, and explosions began to resound above the ethereal sphere .
The lightning bolts released their power in the air above the group, but they kept on reaching closer for them as the effects of Dreaming Demon's method began to fade .
Not even three minutes had passed, but the defenses of the two rank 5 cultivators were already falling apart!
The power of a Tribulation at the peak of the fifth rank was incredible, and the elders alone had little confidence in managing to defend against it with their joint power .
Their defenses were effective, but there was a limit to how many of them they could create before depleting the energy inside their centers of power .
After all, the Tribulation wouldn't stop for even a second during those thirty minutes while cultivators needed at least a few instants to cast a spell .
Those instants would be fatal in that situation .
Yet, Noah's inscribed items would show their usefulness at that point .
Noah waited until the explosions of the lightning bolts became too close to them before activating one of his talismans .
The talisman created a giant gray vortex above the trio as soon as Noah shattered it .
The talismans that Elder Julia had provided him could defend against attacks in the fifth rank and didn't need "Breath" to be activated .
They were some sort of vessels that contained a specific spell that would be released once the items were broken, which made them quite handy to protect weaker cultivators .
They were mostly given to promising cultivators in the human ranks or heirs of some powerful family, but there were a few exceptions in the heroic ranks .
Noah had stored them since the exchange meeting with the envoys of the four nations and could finally put them to use to counter the great Tribulation .
The vortex rotated as it destroyed every lightning bolt that fell on its surface, and that tried to reach for the heroic cultivators under it .
The elders immediately prepared their defensive methods again and waited for the vortex to fall apart to deploy them .
Noah's stash of talismans wasn't limitless, and the group had to face another Tribulation at the peak of the fifth rank after that .
Conserving as many defensive items as possible was mandatory, Noah only had five of them after all .
The vortex lasted for almost three minutes before being pierced by the relentless rain of lightning bolts .
Still, three hundred layers of ice suddenly appeared in its position and continued to defend the group .
The power of a talisman would depend on the might of the cultivator that cast the spell .
Of course, cultivators would store their most potent spells inside it since they weren't in a battle .
On the contrary, the two Demons had to preserve their energies to last for the entirety of the Tribulation and sprint when it was over .
