Chapter 89: The Hall Master Is Ascending! The More I Think About It, the More Furious I Get
For a moment, the sky above the entire Void Mountain, extending for a hundred miles, was shrouded in shadow. Fierce beasts within the mountain groveled on the ground, trembling in fear.
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Dao Hall halfway up the mountain, spiritual energy within a radius of ten miles surged as though in turmoil!
Initially, countless whirlpools of spiritual energy formed, madly funneling toward Chen Daoxuan.
Within the range of the Heavenly Dao Hall, spiritual energy seemed endless. As more and more spiritual energy appeared, it began to condense into droplets of spirit liquid.
Before long, the droplets coalesced into a stream, like a small river, continuously flowing toward Chen Daoxuan.
Boom!
Along with a series of rumbling sounds, the small stream of spirit liquid widened into a torrent, like a great river, submerging Chen Daoxuan entirely!
"Oh my heavens..."
"What the heck happened while I was cultivating!?"
"A flood!?"
"No, wait, damn it! This is all spirit liquid!?"
"Hall Master, are you okay!?"
Scarlet Cloud, was startled awake by the massive commotion. When he saw the scene before him, he rubbed his eyes, doubting whether he had entered some kind of cultivation-induced delusion.
This river-like flow of spirit liquid kept converging toward the small pavilion!
In his five thousand years within the secret realm, the amount of spirit liquid Scarlet Cloud had ever seen was like a single drop compared to this vast ocean.
Setting aside how the Hall Master could absorb so much spirit liquid without bursting, the real question was: where on earth did all this spirit liquid come from!?
Even if they drained the entire Northern Region, it wouldn't amount to a tenth of this quantity!
After what felt like an eternity, Chen Daoxuan's Qi sea finally finished absorbing the spirit liquid. No more liquid appeared—it had been completely consumed by him.
"Whew, breaking through sure feels refreshing!"
Chen Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shimmering with countless stars that gradually faded away.
Before he could inspect the changes brought about by his breakthrough, the sky above Void Mountain suddenly filled with thunder and lightning. Dense black clouds covered hundreds of miles, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
"Heavenly tribulation!"
"Is the Hall Master about to ascend!?"
"Sh*t!!!"
Scarlet Cloud's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Staring at the tribulation clouds above, he trembled uncontrollably.
Ascending wasn't inherently terrifying, but the problem was—he was too close to the Hall Master!
The tribulation clouds had even locked onto his presence!
Whether or not the Hall Master could withstand the heavenly tribulation and ascend, Scarlet Cloud couldn't say for sure. But one thing was certain: he, a small fry, was definitely about to be reduced to ashes!
"Getting to witness an ascension before death... well, that's worth it..."
"Hall Master, please focus solely on overcoming the tribulation! Don't worry about me!"
Scarlet Cloud exhaled deeply, unexpectedly shouting these words to Chen Daoxuan.
"Hmm?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Instead of refining the Ren Family clan leader remains, what are you doing here getting in my way?"
Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow and glanced calmly at Scarlet Cloud, showing no concern for the heavenly tribulation.
Still, Scarlet Cloud's words earned him a bit of respect. For this alone, Chen Daoxuan was willing to entrust him with managing the Northern Region in the future.
"My dear Hall Master..."
"That's a heavenly tribulation! A heavenly tribulation!"
"No matter how confident you are, at least bring out some treasures to defend yourself. Don't take it so lightly!"
Scarlet Cloud's eyelids twitched wildly. Since his own death was inevitable, he wasn't as scared anymore. Instead, he kept urging the Hall Master to prepare his defenses.
"Tsk, I, Chen Daoxuan, stand here. Let's see if this heavenly tribulation dares to strike me down."
Chen Daoxuan glanced at the tribulation clouds in the sky and mocked them with disdain.
In the vicinity of the Heavenly Dao Hall, so what if it was a heavenly tribulation?
Still, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Others only faced a tribulation when they were on the verge of ascending to the Immortal Realm. Yet, when it came to him, breaking through to the mere Void Sky Realm was enough to trigger a heavenly tribulation?
What kind of nonsense was this?
Others ascended to immortality; he was just stepping into Void Sky. Why was he being targeted for a tribulation?
"Ridiculous! The more I think about it, the angrier I get..."
With a raised eyebrow, Chen Daoxuan casually pulled out the Karmic Artifact—the Hongmeng Ruler!
Seeing the Hall Master finally summon a treasure, Scarlet Cloud let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed the Hall Master had taken his advice to heart.
"Damn tribulation, disrupting my sunbathing. Move those clouds and show me the sun!"
Before Scarlet Cloud's stunned eyes, Chen Daoxuan casually launched two streams of mysterious yellow energy into the sky!
No—calling them two streams was inaccurate. Those streams were as thick as sky-piercing pillars, radiating mysterious yellow energy and faintly imbued with the power of merit.
The massive beams shot straight into the brewing tribulation clouds above!
"It's over... It's all over..."
"This will surely provoke a backlash from the tribulation, making it even more powerful!"
Scarlet Cloud was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why the Hall Master would goad the tribulation so recklessly.
But as those two colossal beams of mysterious yellow energy slammed into the tribulation clouds—
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
After two earth-shattering explosions, the massive tribulation clouds covering a hundred miles began to wobble precariously.
"Tsk, too far away. The power was weakened," Chen Daoxuan remarked indifferently. He then waved the Hongmeng Ruler a few more times toward the sky.
BOOM!
BOOM!
The tribulation clouds... collapsed!
"Hahaha!"
Scarlet Cloud stared blankly at the sky where the once-formidable tribulation clouds had been blasted into oblivion. After a moment, he suddenly began to laugh hysterically.
"This has to be a joke, right?"
"Lord Tea Tree, I get it now. This is all your doing, isn't it?"
"Of course! This is a dream—a mirage. When you imparted Dao insights to me earlier, you must have dragged me into an illusion!"
"Lord Tea Tree, I've figured it out. Let me wake up!"
The nearby Primordial Spirit Enlightenment Tea, initially stunned by its master's terrifying power, finally snapped out of its shock when it heard Scarlet Cloud's words.
A slender branch gently extended and tapped Scarlet Cloud on the forehead.
Scarlet Cloud thought the Lord Tea Tree was helping him escape the illusion.
Instead, three words appeared in his mind:
"Big! Fool! Idiot!"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Scarlet Cloud was dumbstruck. What was the Lord Tea Tree trying to say?
"Stop laughing. You're not in an illusion. Everything just now was real."
"It's just tribulation clouds. Why are you so surprised?"
"Get back to cultivating or sleeping—whatever you were doing. I'm tired."
With the tribulation gone, Chen Daoxuan finally felt a bit more at ease. Why did he have to endure a heavenly tribulation for simply breaking through to the Void Sky Realm? Did he not deserve any dignity?
Grumbling to himself, he stretched lazily, lay back down on his Dao Comprehension chair, and closed his eyes, ignoring the utterly dumbfounded Scarlet Cloud.
He had originally planned to push straight to the Profound Sky Realm, but the ordeal had left him exhausted. For now, he'd rest and recharge with a nap!
