However, the other cultivators in the abyss were even more stunned. Seven king tiers had attacked in unison, and among them, there were even the supreme king tiers, “King Tier a.s.sa.s.sin” and “Fists Demon”, yet they had only managed to draw a few streaks of blood from Gu Daoyi’s palm?
Gu Daoyi was truly a powerful being! He truly lived up to his name as the greatest prodigy of all eternity!
However, many people also turned their gaze toward where the gigantic golden boulder had once been. In that spot, there was a person standing tall and proud.
It was Ling Han!
Had Gu Daoyi shattered the Sun Stone?
The answer was evidently negative. Not to mention that he was only at the Heavenly Body Tier, he wouldn’t have been able to shatter it even if he had regained the peak power of his past lives. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Hu Clan have obtained the Nine Heavens Flame tens of billions of years ago?
In fact, it was because its essence had already been completely absorbed that the Sun Stone had become so weak and brittle. Since it had lost its essence and become an ordinary stone, it was naturally extremely weak, and would shatter under a single strike.
Ling Han’s eyes were shut, and there was still a wealth of information whirling about in his mind. He still had yet to come to his senses.
The Nine Heavens Flame had already taken root and become a part of his life force. Although it was still a young flame, it would grow along with his cultivation. In the future… its power would astound even Celestial Kings[1]!
Kuang!
There was the rumble of thunder as dark clouds rolled over and arcs of brilliant white lightning intertwined across the sky. That layer of dark clouds, those thousand-meter-long arcs of lightning… All of these caused a feeling apprehension to rise in the cultivators’ hearts.
‘Is this an apocalypse? Why is it so terrifying?!’
The cultivators all shook their heads. Although many of them had advanced in cultivation, none of them had managed to advance to the next minor level. This was a barrier that they had to comprehend and overcome by themselves. Thus, this wasn’t heavenly tribulation for them.
They were all extremely curious. Whose tribulation was this? It was far too devastating…
Gu Daoyi still wanted to attack, yet he had no option but to forcefully suppress his urge.
He discovered that this was Ling Han’s heavenly tribulation.
However, this tribulation was far too terrifying—so much so that even he felt apprehensive about it. If he interfered… it was very likely that he would die!
He was beside himself with shock. How could there exist such a formidable heavenly tribulation?
However, Ling Han wasn’t surprised in the least. This was because he had already advanced to the peak stage of the pinnacle level. As such, this was a twofold heavenly tribulation that he was facing. That being the case, its might was naturally far greater than normal.
Why didn’t his heavenly tribulations arrive one after the other?
This was because the Sun Stone had severed the senses of heaven and earth! Ordinary stones naturally couldn’t achieve this. However, this was a celestial stone, meaning that the level of its existence was far transcendent above that of the Immortal Realm. Thus, it was naturally possible for it to sever the senses of heaven.
Kuang!
Heavenly tribulation rapidly gathered above Ling Han. Before long, a bolt of lightning that measured 300 meters in width violently struck down, directly striking at Ling Han’s head.
This was twofold heavenly tribulation, and the might of its whole was far greater than the sum of its parts. In fact, it was 10 times more powerful!
Pa!
The cultivators witnessed everything clearly. After a single strike, Ling Han’s body had already become a broken mess of ripped flesh and shattered bones.
‘He’s died just like that?’
‘Although this heavenly tribulation is indeed powerful, isn’t it far too pathetic to die after just a single strike? He didn’t even put up a struggle!’
However, Gu Daoyi’s expression became even more solemn. He possessed a Divine Fetus, and thus he could sense Ling Han’s condition even through the powerful tribulation. Ling Han hadn’t died. His aura still remained.
In fact, Ling Han had actively shattered his own body in order to be tempered by the heavenly tribulation.
He was an absolute freak!
[1] Elites of the Celestial Realm.
Just as Gu Daoyi suspected, Ling Han hadn’t been pulverized because he was unable to withstand heavenly tribulation. Rather, he had actively shattered his own flesh and bones in order to be tempered by the tribulation. This way, he could further elevate the power of his physique.
This time, however, things were slightly more difficult.
After all, this was a twofold heavenly tribulation!
When it came to normal cultivators, they would face perilous danger whenever they experienced heavenly tribulation. In fact, seven to eight people out of 10 would be killed by theirs. Yet, right now, Ling Han was experiencing a twofold tribulation, which was 10 times more powerful than an ordinary heavenly tribulation faced by those at the peak stage of the pinnacle level.
Gu Daoyi felt a strong urge to attack. Right now, Ling Han’s entire body was pulverized and broken. Thus, if he attacked, it was certain that he could kill Ling Han. However, the problem was that he was incredibly apprehensive of Ling Han’s heavenly tribulation. If he interfered, it was very likely that he would die as well.
Was he going to risk his own life in order to kill a mere ant? He shook his head. It wasn’t worth it.
He was confident that he could kill Ling Han after he successfully withstood his heavenly tribulation. Killing him would be like cutting gra.s.s.
This was because he was Gu Daoyi, a king tier who possessed a Divine Fetus after burying the bodies of his nine previous lives. He was destined to be invincible!
He turned his gaze to Empress Luan Xing.
This was another person who was practicing the Nine Deaths Heaven Art. If he could obtain and refine her fruits of cultivation, his Divine Fetus would definitely advance to the next level. At that time, even the True Sons and True Daughters of the great sects of the Celestial Realm wouldn’t be able to rival his formidable might.
Empress Luan Xing humphed coldly as she charged over.
This person actually dared to attack her lover? Even if there wasn’t the matter pertaining to the Nine Deaths Heaven Art, she would still feel the need to kill Gu Daoyi 100 times over.
“You’re seeking death!” Gu Daoyi said with a humph. Now that he had regained his full power, who at the same cultivation level could rival him?
‘Die!’
He also charged at Empress Luan Xing, and the two of them quickly became locked in an intense battle again.
However, the battle this time was far more ferocious and dangerous.
They had both regained their power—power at the peak stage of the pinnacle level. In other words, their power was now on the same level as elites at the low extreme of the Eternal River Tier. However, coupled with their freakish talent, they could even kill elites at the early stage of the low extreme of the Eternal River Tier, perhaps even the middle stage.
Such was the intensity of the battle that many cultivators didn’t even dare to spectate it from up close. In any case, they didn’t have the right to. They had no choice but to retreat far into the distance. Otherwise, just a single shock wave would be enough to severely wound or even kill them.
Meanwhile, the Rain Emperor and the others didn’t interfere in this battle. It was beneath them to gang up on an opponent who was at the same cultivation level as them.
It wasn’t long before more king tiers arrived at the scene.
These king tiers were none other than Long Xiangyue, Second in the World, Hong Ma, and the others, the king tiers who had suffered great misfortune 10 years ago. After receiving news of the blessing of heaven and earth concluding, they naturally had to hurry over to witness the scenes by themselves. At the very least, they had to see what kind of benefits and great opportunities the others had received.
The large black dog had also come. He was standing on his hind legs like a human, yet his appearance at this moment was truly peculiar and shocking. This was because he was wearing iron underwear!
It was clear that he had been mentally scarred after having his little peepee grabbed at that time. With the protection of an invincible iron underwear, it was quite likely that his little peepee would be safe from attacks now.
He clasped his front paws behind his back as he walked forward like a human. However, with his s.h.i.+ny pair of iron underwear, was this not a hilarious and comical sight?
Many of the cultivators in the abyss had been cultivating in seclusion these past 10 years, so this was their first time seeing the large black dog in such a state. They couldn’t help but splutter with laughter. Was this some sort of joke?
“Who’s laughing? Who’s laughing? Show yourself to Grandpa Dog!” The large black dog was ticked off, and he instantly raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the laughter.
“Hahahaha!” However, his strong reaction elicited even more and louder laughter from the cultivators. In fact, some people were laughing so hard that they could barely stand up straight. Meanwhile, some of them already had tears streaming down their face. This large black dog was far too shameless and degenerate.
“Woof! Grandpa Dog is going to bite your b.u.ms into three pieces!” The large black dog charged over in embarra.s.sment and fury.
The abyss instantly descended into chaos. Ling Han was facing heavenly tribulation, Empress Luan Xing was locked in an intense battle with Gu Daoyi, and now the large black dog transformed into a rabid dog, biting anyone that he could get his mouth on. The abyss was plunged into turmoil.
