Above the endless heavenly vault, a terrifying oppressive force suddenly enveloped everything.
At this moment, most people had already retreated back into Black Evil City.
Dark clouds rapidly converged from all directions, rushing like tidal waves. In merely a few breaths of time, they transformed into a sea of thunder, with endless purple lightning interweaving, striking fear into the hearts of those who witnessed it.
"How frightening the Heavenly Tribulation is! Is he trying to break through to the peak of the Emperor Realm?" Inside Black Evil City, everyone’s faces turned pale.
The Heavenly Tribulation that Mo Wangchen had invoked at this moment, with its terrifying might seeming capable of destroying heaven and earth, was something that a normal breakthrough at the Emperor Realm level simply could not cause.
"His cultivation is only at the fourth peak of the Emperor Realm; he is attempting to break through to the fifth!"
Atop the city walls, an Immortal Realm Great Power squinted his eyes as he said this.
"True, he is indeed only breaking through to the fifth realm, but the power of the Heavenly Tribulation he has drawn upon is as strong as someone else attempting the peak of the Emperor Realm. It is truly astonishing!"
Another Immortal Realm Great Power spoke, his eyes shining with sharp light. It undoubtedly signified that Mo Wangchen’s talent had reached an incredibly astonishing level.
Feeling the descent of this overwhelming Heavenly Might, the Monster Beasts around Black Evil City also became extremely agitated.
Although their cultivation was equivalent to that of Saint Venerable Realm experts, their Spiritual Wisdom was not high, and they could not comprehend what was happening.
They only sensed this sudden and uncomfortable presence, caused by Mo Wangchen.
At this moment, all the Monster Beasts around Black Evil City surged toward Mo Wangchen.
A dense mass of Monster Beasts, like a swarm of locusts too numerous to count, submerged Mo Wangchen in a blink of an eye.
Simultaneously, above the endless heavenly vault, the thunderclouds roared, and the first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation finally descended.
Heavenly Might became even more terrifying at this moment, as if it would crush the entire void.
A great number of Monster Beasts fell under the assault of the thunder, leaving no remains, not even scraps of bone.
A gasp of shock erupted from the crowd inside the city; these Monster Beasts with their low Spiritual Wisdom didn’t understand that approaching Mo Wangchen now was akin to courting death.
"The first bolt of lightning has slain tens of thousands of Monster Beasts. If this continues, by the time this youth successfully transcends the tribulation, the losses among these Monster Beasts will surely be substantial, won’t they?"
Many people wore excited expressions, wishing they themselves were undergoing the tribulation at this moment. If so, the speed of slaying Monster Beasts would be faster, which would make their breakout soon after much easier.
However, an Immortal Realm Great Power quickly shook his head, "Sadly, the scale of the Beast Tide is too large, endless. Even if you slay a hundred thousand, a million, it is still just the tip of the iceberg..."
"Regardless, this is indeed good news. Let’s all take a short rest. Once his breakthrough is over, we can break out of the city in one go!" another Immortal Realm being said.
Someone suddenly uttered a surprised sound, "He can actually control the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Everyone’s gaze shifted, only to see Mo Wangchen pointing into the void, and the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation that was originally falling towards him suddenly changed direction, targeting the throng of Monster Beasts.
The sound of thunder exploding continuously rang in their ears. Under Mo Wangchen’s control, the lightning targeted the areas most densely populated with Monster Beasts.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, at least a dozen bolts of lightning had descended, slaying at least a million Monster Beasts.
The number was staggering!
Someone inside the city shouted out, standing up from where they were. Clearly, they could already feel the oppressive force above the skies gradually easing, indicating that Mo Wangchen’s breakthrough was about to conclude.
The final bolt of thunder struck down, the most powerful of them all, obliterating more than a hundred thousand Monster Beasts.
At this moment, Mo Wangchen stood not far in front of the battlements, suspended in the Void, his aura at this very instant surged from the fourth peak of the Emperor Realm and completely broke through to the fifth level.
However, just when everyone thought that his breakthrough had ended, and he was preparing to dash out of Black Evil City,
they saw Mo Wangchen suddenly retrieve something from his hands.
It was a drop of Essence Blood, which Mo Wangchen had acquired at the Tianyuan Auction.
Under the gazes of the entire crowd, Mo Wangchen did not hesitate to swallow the Essence Blood.
In just a few breaths, there were series of muffled blasts echoing within Mo Wangchen’s body.
His aura soared even higher at this instant!
Supreme Heavenly Might filled the Void, causing the grandeur in the sky to churn like rolling waves, extremely chaotic.
Nearly moments later, Mo Wangchen’s aura seemed to break through another bottleneck once more.
Above in the sky, the Thunder Clouds that were starting to dissipate now surged violently anew.
A force even more terrifying than before instantly enveloped the entire vicinity of Black Evil City.
"There’s another breakthrough?!"
"How is this possible? Can someone really break through two levels consecutively?"
The people inside Black Evil City were astir, their faces full of disbelief.
"What was that thing he just consumed?" inquired a strong figure from the Immortal Realm, furrowing his brow. It was obvious that he realized the correlation between Mo Wangchen’s second breakthrough and the drop of Qiongqi Bloodline he had just ingested.
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the Heavenly Tribulation struck down again, the first bolt alone being several times more powerful than any before.
The first bolt of thunder directly annihilated nearly three hundred thousand Monster Beasts.
"This young man has drawn down the Heavenly Tribulation, slaying countless Monster Beasts, aiding us immensely in our soon-to-be escape. If tonight we manage to leave unscathed, he shall be hailed as our clan’s Divine Son!" someone proclaimed.
Everyone present in Black Evil City that night had either been abandoned by their families or discarded by their Sects.
He had long stopped planning to return, and should they break free from the siege of the Beast Tide shortly, they would form their own clan, with Mo Wangchen as the Divine Son, they all worshipped!
Under the gaze of the entire field, thunderous Tribulations continued to descend and by now, no one knew how many Monster Beasts had perished under Mo Wangchen’s Heavenly Tribulation.
Because everyone had lost count and couldn’t be bothered to keep track anymore.
Eventually, when the oppressive might that filled the Void once again began to ease, everyone stood up from their spots.
For they knew, it was unlikely for Mo Wangchen to continue breaking through, as two consecutive breakthroughs were already astonishing enough.
Now, once Mo Wangchen’s breakthrough was over, they would pour out of Black Evil City in its entirety, and this would be the final battle determining their destinies.
