Chapter 660
The weekly Tribulation arrived on time and unleashed its usual destruction .
Noah and the elders stared at the majestic sight of the rank 6 lightning bolts crashing on the shield of the palace from above the defensive wall .
They wouldn't have a chance to witness a similar scene from a safe position anymore after that day, so their complete focus was on that great calamity .
Anything with the power of the sixth rank was worthy of respect, even if it came from Heaven and Earth .
That was the last step of the heroic ranks, the ultimate target of all the heroic cultivators living in the Mortal Lands .
The lightning storm began to disperse after thirty minutes, and the group prepared itself to sprint toward the south, in the direction of the exit .
Then, the trio jumped off the defensive wall and began to fly at full speed when the last black cloud in the sky vanished .
They had one week before the next Tribulation, and that amount of time was enough to make them reach the areas targeted by rank 5 lighting bolts in the middle tier .
They could avoid the lightning storm with power at the peak of the fifth rank since their starting point was farther in the dimension compared to the checkpoint in their original strategy .
There would still be three Tribulations in the next part of their travel, but two of them would be in the fourth rank since they had set off from the palace .
The light radiated by a pendant on Dreaming Demon's neck flickered when the group left the perimeter of the palace .
Loud ruckus began to resound from the structure behind them, but the group didn't dare to stop to analyze the event .
Thirty-seven had activated the self-destruct measures of the palace since he was leaving the structure with the trio .
That action couldn't be avoided since the spirit automaton had been programmed in that way by Divine Architect .
Noah and the others didn't have the power to modify his programming without causing any unwanted reaction, so they simply gave up on the thought of keeping Divine Architect's creations .
Instead, they flew at an even higher speed to escape the rage of the blast .
Luckily for them, Thirty-seven had left the shield of the palace active to contain the explosion .
Earthquakes and shockwaves spread from the palace to the areas around it, but the shield managed to block most of its destructive effects .
Part of the prairie and the space above it still shattered, but those mighty events didn't manage to reach the three heroic cultivators that were already far in the distance .
It was needless to say that they felt helpless about that outcome .
A palace able to defend against rank 6 attacks and a damaged telescope able to gaze at the worlds outside of the Mortal Lands were items than any organization would do anything to obtain .
Yet, Divine Architect was too careful and powerful, Noah and the others could just accept the fact that they couldn't affect that outcome .
A week passed quickly, and Noah felt forced to eat many of the pills created by the Udye family to refill his Liquid dantian to help the elders with the Tribulation .
That rank 5 Tribulation had the power of the middle tier .
It couldn't be handled carelessly even if the group had already faced something stronger .
Noah and the elders repeated the same cyclic deployment of defensive measures, with Noah using one of his talismans and flames to aid the Demons during their breaks .
Of course, his flames couldn't possibly oppose those lightning bolts, but they could help in gaining a few precious seconds so that he wouldn't have to use another talisman .
