"Let the heavenly tribulation come even more fiercely!"
Shrouded in ten-colored divine light, Xiao Yi's body was bathed from head to toe, with the Queen of the God-Eating Ants' Dharma Manifestation coiled above his head, mimicking his movements as they both looked up at the sky.
One with eyes like burning divine torches, their gaze pure and flawless.
The other with six eyes, each of a different color, seemingly like the six paths of reincarnation, annihilating all beings.
Together, they fixed their eyes on the blood-red clouds of tribulation that were furiously gathering in the sky, already spreading over thousands of miles and still expanding.
Energy from heaven and earth rushed in from all directions, surging, vast, and violent.
Gales swept past, leaving behind a path of ruin over thousands of miles.
Lightning streaked across, burning mountains and plains, leaving behind desolation and scorched earth.
Heavenly fire raged, bursting forth and turning half the sky red with its inferno...
What a vision of the apocalypse!
In the depths of the royal palace, hundreds of miles away within that forbidden ground, an old iron-winged chi dragon suddenly opened its eyes, looking around in confusion and finally fixing its gaze in the direction of Imperial Dragon Mountain, with a hint of horror in its eyes: "A destructive calamity? Is that... is someone at the peak of the Beast Emperor undergoing tribulation?"
Within the forbidden area.
Three other figures also opened their eyes simultaneously, the terrifying pressure emanating from the natural phenomenon causing their hearts to race, and they felt a profound sense of the threat of death.
"Damn it, how could such a powerful destructive calamity exist?"
"Is someone attempting to break into the Life and Death Secret Realm? But that doesn't make sense, either. Within the Great Qian Dynasty, only the three of us are in the Nine Nirvana Realm, and even without the spirit of longevity, we wouldn't be able to trigger such a destructive tribulation..."
Yang Zun and the others exchanged troubled looks.
Yang Zun forced a bitter smile: "It's over, it's over. No matter who triggered this destruction, the people from that place will soon sense it and send someone to investigate. If they find out that the three of us have not left the Great Qian Dynasty, we may be in trouble!"
"Let's go see who is undergoing tribulation!"
"Hmph, we absolutely must not let this implicate us, just send them straight to that place!"
The three exchanged glances, their minds made up.
In the blink of an eye, they moved, hiding in the void and quietly heading towards Imperial Dragon Mountain.
As they left the royal palace, they were already shaken by the terrifying scene unfolding in the horizon.
All the spiritual energy within thousands of miles was being drained, converging towards Imperial Dragon Mountain. It was not just a storm of thunder and wind, but also a tempest of heavenly fire and rain.
The blood-red clouds of tribulation had formed a massive, swirling vortex, suspended above the peak of Imperial Dragon Mountain, slowly rotating. Inside the blood clouds, thunder roared and wild winds howled.
A scene of divine punishment as if the end of days had arrived!
Inside the imperial capital, countless citizens were alarmed.
One by one, they looked up at the reddened sky, all dumbfounded, with some unable to restrain their complaints, "Which bastard has caused the sky to turn ? I just set up my stall to sell stinky tofu. If anyone knows who the culprit is..."
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the horizon, hitting the man and obliterating the stall completely clean.
Pieces of charred stinky tofu stuck to his face.
A man and a woman who had taken the chance to sneak away for a tryst while their spouses vied for temple blessings were disturbed by the thunder, cursing grumpily, "Damn it, who the hell ruins my good time?"
Another bolt struck down, reducing both the man and the woman to charred figures.
Scenes occurred repeatedly, though Yang Zun and the others paid them no mind.
Faced with such a terrifying calamity, they looked at each other and said, "Is this the destructive calamity? Such terrifying pressure, even a hundred miles away I can feel the power of death..."
"We must hurry to see who is undergoing tribulation..."
Soon, the three of them arrived at Imperial Dragon Mountain.
At this moment, countless civilians and powerful beings on Imperial Dragon Mountain were frantically fleeing toward the distance, and along the way, one could even see birds and beasts, all fleeing from Imperial Dragon Mountain as if escaping a natural disaster.
Watching the crowd constantly brushing past them, with occasional swearing and cries of alarm, the trio felt completely baffled, "This heavenly tribulation is poisonous! Whoever curses Xiao Yi gets struck..."
"Damn it all, why did that bastard Xiao Yi have to summon such a terrifying tribulation..."
No sooner had one person finished speaking.
A bolt of thunder suddenly struck him, leaving him charred by lightning.
"Run, don't you dare curse Xiao Yi!"
"Curse him and you die!"
Yang Zun and the other two looked at each other, was there such a divine move?
Cursing the person undergoing tribulation would result in being struck by lightning?
Yang Zun subconsciously said, "Xiao Yi is a dumbass..."
A bolt of lightning struck him dead center.
Yang Zun spewed out a mouthful of black aura, his hair standing on end and smoke coming from all seven orifices, with only his eyes clear black and white.
"F*ck... This tribulation really is poisonous!"
Seeing Yang Zun's sorry state, Yang Bingtian's eyes twitched fiercely, "I did not expect that it would be a heavenly tribulation invoked by Xiao Yi? Wasn't he just at Tao Tribulation Realm? At most he would be breaking through to Dharma Manifestation Realm, how could there be such a terrifying commotion?"
Electricity was still dancing on Yang Zun's charred face, but his expression was one of excitement, "Have you all forgotten? It's said that when someone breaks through the Longevity Secret Realm, they are breaking the laws of Heaven and Earth, and receiving recognition from the heavens, becoming as revered as a celestial. At this time, if anyone dares to insult a celestial, they will be subject to the punishment of the heavens!"
"Hiss... you mean Xiao Yi is about to break through the Longevity Secret Realm? Impossible, right? Last time we met, he was only at Tao Tribulation Realm..."
"If it's not a breakthrough in the Longevity Secret Realm, the only possibility is that Xiao Yi's talent is too terrifying, having fully comprehended a complete Heavenly Dao. Even if it's just a breakthrough in Dharma Manifestation Realm, he's already akin to a celestial!" Yang Zun shivered uncontrollably as he spoke.
All three took in a sharp breath of cold air.
In legend, one who completely commands one Heavenly Dao and undergoes nine nirvanas, absorbing the spirit of longevity to step into the Longevity Secret Realm, that's a celestial!
A person of the heavens!
Below a celestial, all are but ants.
"Who would have thought that our Great Qian Dynasty could give birth to such a genius?"
Yang Zun gazed at the blood clouds above the sky, as if he had made an important decision, and exhaled a long breath, "If indeed Xiao Yi is undergoing this tribulation, then if people come from that side, let me go with them!"
Yang Bingtian and Yang Zheng stared at Yang Zun in disbelief.
Once gone, never to return!
So many geniuses and experts from the Great Qian Dynasty had gone there throughout history, and none had returned, their life and death unknown.
Yang Zun's eyes shimmered as he stared in the direction of the peak of Imperial Dragon Mountain, "With talent like ours appearing once every hundred years, how often would a genius like Xiao Yi come around, once in a thousand, ten thousand years? That place is fraught with danger, once gone, life and death is uncertain. For the prosperous foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty, I am willing to go in his stead!"
The other two looked at each other with hesitation, and after a moment, Yang Bingtian said, "Let's not discuss this for now, the tribulation this time is so terrifying, we don't even know if Xiao Yi can successfully transcend it!"
All three were stunned.
Together, they looked up at the summit, toward the heart-palpitating and terrible tribulation clouds above...
