Chapter 23: What kind of monster is this guy?

The figure in seated meditation, cultivating!

Cultivating thunder? Condensing into a Thunder Dragon?

If this profound skill is cultivated by the adversary, then the one who should be attacking ought to be the adversary himself.

Should the strike come, it should fall upon them.

Yet no lightning appeared on the adversary's body; instead, lightning struck him!

The only possibility left is one!

The adversary is breaking through their cultivation level, resulting in the Heavenly Destruction Thunder Tribulation.

This scene could only possibly occur when an unparalleled genius or a cultivator with a heaven-defying physique is breaking through, deemed intolerable by the heavens and the earth.

Xue Ni Chang recognized this because she had experienced it before.

When she was breaking through the Taoist Palace Realm, not only did abnormal phenomena occur, but also the Heavenly Tribulation.

Only her tribulation was not as terrifying as the adversary's.

"In the midst of the Heavenly Tribulation, thunder and lightning condensed into a Thunder Dragon!

Such a terrifying tribulation could only be achieved by an Ancient and Modern Great Emperor or a youth with the Great Success Sacred Body or a Primordial Physique during their breakthrough!" Xue Ni Chang stated.

With her words, everything was explained.

Everyone present now understood.

Li Wan Hua nodded.

"Indeed, I too experienced the Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through the Taoist Palace."

He didn't mention the next part.

His tribulation was a mere three feet!

And the adversary's tribulation...

"What demon is this guy?"

Looking up, the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation was nowhere in sight.

At least three thousand feet above, hundreds of times his own.

"This fellow has merely broken through the Taoist Palace now?" Zhan Wuchang commented.

Taoist Palace!

They had already broken through the first cache of the Taoist Palace!

And the power of the Profound Qi radiating from Yang Yan was just from the first cache of the Taoist Palace.

This indicated that the adversary used to be in the Divine Bridge Realm.

"Previously, he was in the Divine Bridge Realm and even made Fairy Sect Saintess Leng Bi Yue submit.

Now that he has broken through the Taoist Palace, how strong must he be?" Ling Hu Chongtian exclaimed in amazement.

Not far away, a creature of the Divine Race spoke in human tongue.

"Very strong!"

In the darkness, the ever-concealed Shadow Assassin, with a cold face, said,

"Are you all done talking? Either act now, kill him before the Heavenly Tribulation descends.

Or run quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to leave." She spoke.

The sky was dense with thunderclouds, flashing incessantly with thunderbolts.

Lighting up the area like daylight.

The figures of Thunder Dragons were condensing more and more.

Dragon heads peeked out of the dark clouds, their bodies stretching unseen distances.

A terrifying pressure followed suit.

Solidifying the atmosphere on one side.

Ling Hu Chongtian, Xue Ni Chang, the Shadow Assassin, Zhan Wuchang, the creature of Divine Race, and Li Wan Hua all felt a heaviness settle upon them.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation targeted only Yang Yan, those close to him would also be somewhat affected!

But the suppression they felt was not as severe as what Yang Yan endured.

"We are not the targets of the Heavenly Tribulation, yet we are still under such pressure.

He is at the epicenter, facing threats more than double ours.

Given the intensity of this Heavenly Tribulation, passing through it will undoubtedly be extraordinarily difficult and dangerous for him.

Wouldn't it be better to wait for the tribulation to end, when he's at his weakest, and then kill him?" Li Wan Hua suggested.

Xue Ni Chang expressed agreement.

"Right, he has just broken through the Taoist Palace Realm, now at the peak of his combat strength.

And with the Heavenly Tribulation covering him, it's extremely difficult for us to kill him.

I also prefer to wait until after his tribulation to kill him," Xue Ni Chang said.

"Good, since that's the case, let's take the treasures from the tomb of the cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm while he confronts the Heavenly Tribulation.

Then we'll leave," Zhan Wuchang was very greedy.

Because the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation had greatly reined in his Mad Blood and combat intent, his consciousness fully returned!

Therefore, the now lucid him handled the situation with clearer resolve.

"Fine, we each take what we can and leave.

After he survives the Heavenly Tribulation, we'll regroup here.

This unparalleled genius must not live.

Or he will become our greatest hindrance on the Emperor's Road," Ling Hu Chongtian said after taking a drink.

Whether it be Little Genius or genius,

Their goal is but one!

To become an Emperor!

As long as one can become an Emperor, anything can be done!

This road, after all, is a lonely and murderous path against the grain!

"Go!"

The creature of the Divine Race uttered a word and vanished on the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already at the edge of the palace.

"Let's go!"

They all left hurriedly, keeping their distance from Yang Yan.

"You should leave, otherwise there will be danger!" A cold voice came from behind them.

Leave?

Who else could it be?

Xue Ni Chang, Shadow Assassin, Li Wan Hua, they looked back.

A clear and resounding sound, the Immortal Goddess Sword that was suppressing Yang Yan's body, unsheathed and flew out.

It was not to attack Li Wan Hua and the others, but to fly towards the outside of the palace.

"En?" Li Wan Hua and the others wore puzzled expressions.

They all recognized the Immortal Goddess Sword.

It was refined by a Half-Emperor ancestor of the Fairy Sect Saintess, Leng Bi Yue, containing the aura of a Half-Emperor.

Extremely formidable!

The one possessing this sword was about to face the Heavenly Tribulation.

Logically, one should keep it close to protect oneself, or hold the sword in hand to fend off the tribulation.

Yet, before the Heavenly Tribulation descended, the sword was abandoned!

They couldn't comprehend such a move.

"Has he gone mad?" Zhan Wuchang said.

However, in the next moment, he understood, all six of them understood.

An indescribable aura rushed forth, as if a barbaric behemoth had awakened!

"What!"

The immense and vast aura made their bodies sink once again.

Boom!

The ground shook.

The Great Emperor's Majesty within Yang Yan that had been suppressed for a long time also dissipated at this moment.

Starting from the ground nearest to him, it went from cracked to pulverized in less than a second!

"How is this possible!"

The terrifying Emperor's Power immediately enveloped them.

Zhan Wuchang turned pale with shock, forced to the ground by the pressure, kneeling on the spot.

His eyes bloodshot, his ancestral Mad Blood and War Qi fully burst forth.

All his power unleashed, trying to stand up.

But without moving an inch, still kneeling on the ground, motionless!

"What is this power?"

Shadow Assassin in the shadows, squeezed out by an omnipresent pressure.

Emperor's Power, the Heavenly Tribulation's pressure.

Dual suppression left her with no power to resist, kneeling on the ground.

"I am of Immortal Physique, I should be invincible!" Li Wan Hua cried out, kneeling on the ground.

His physique was crystal clear, emitting an extreme radiance.

"No!"

Boom!

Instead of managing to stand up, his body sank further into the earth, kneeling as if he were a statue.

Xue Ni Chang's face lost color.

For the first time, she experienced an unprecedented level of suppression.

Had it not been for the Lotus Platform's protection, she would have knelt as well.

Even now, the Lotus Platform she was sitting on began to crack.

"This is refined by a Great Saint!"

Xue Ni Chang having a Great Saint-refined Lotus Platform as protection placed her among the higher tiers of Saint Heirs and Saintesses.

But it barely managed to withstand the pressure!

"What exactly is his background?" Xue Ni Chang tried to manipulate the Lotus Platform to leave.

But she found that the entire area had been locked down!

The void solidified, nobody could escape!

"We've met a formidable figure!" Ling Hu Chongtian knelt on the ground.

He didn't try to stand up with Profound Qi, but instead fortified himself with it.

He picked up a liquor flask and poured a mouthful for himself.

At this moment, even the beings of the Divine Race could not move at all.

"Emperor's Power!"

He uttered these two words with a heavy voice!

Emperor's Power!

Everyone focused.

"Great Emperor's Majesty? Why does he have it?" The crowd was shocked.

Looking at the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, they saw a figure slowly awakening from cultivation and standing up.

Around him, Tao Rhythm condensed, and numerous profound law sounds continued to blare.

Abnormal Phenomenon reborn, as if countless people were practicing their swordsmanship.

Creating wave after wave of disturbances, distorting a portion of the void!

Countless Thunder Dragons appeared, breaking through the dark clouds.

Their fierce dragon heads peered down at Yang Yan below, each with mouths wide open.

Bolts of lightning spat out, striking towards Yang Yan.

The lightning struck him, yet Yang Yan seemed oblivious.

Step by step he walked, approaching Li Wan Hua, Shadow Assassin, Xue Ni Chang, and the others.

At this moment, the six of them had only one thought!

Don't come over here!
