CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: ONE WORD DISPELS THE HEAVENLY TRIBULATION

Within the vast Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range.

A disciple of the Shen Heng Sect was fleeing at full speed. He was drenched in sweat, his eyes filled with terror. His stamina was clearly almost depleted, yet he gritted his teeth and desperately continued to flee.

That young duo was too terrifying. Just the two of them had nearly wiped out all the Disciples of Heaven’s Pride from their three major sects.

He absolutely had to report this news to the Sect. He needed to have the Nirvana Realm experts of the Sect rush to the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range as quickly as possible to encircle and annihilate these two youths. They absolutely could not be allowed to escape the Shenfeng Dynasty.

While fleeing, the young man also had to constantly be on guard against lightning striking down from the sky, making his escape exceptionally difficult.

Suddenly, a dazzling sword light shot out from the distance. With a soft thud, it struck him squarely in the back, near his heart.

The young man turned to look and saw that very pair of young man and woman standing on a Leize.

"You still pursued me!"

The young man’s eyes dimmed, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He had fled for an hour, yet he still hadn’t escaped the pursuit of these two youths.

"HUMPH! Not a single disciple of the Shen Heng Sect shall be left alive!" Jun Moxiao fixed the young man with a murderous gaze and snorted coldly.

"Why? When did our Shen Heng Sect... offend you?" The young man clutched his chest, blood flowing out from between his fingers. After asking this question, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, dead.

Jun Moxiao flew closer and picked up the longsword and storage ring. His eyes were slightly red as he stated indifferently, "Your Shen Heng Sect has been slaughtering my Divine Dragon Sect for who knows how many years! Generation after generation of our ancestors have been murdered by you! Now, the hatred between our two sects is so deep it’s irreconcilable. It’s either you die, or we perish!"

Luo Li stood on the Leize’s back, scanning the distance.

She voiced her concerns, saying, "Junior Brother, why don’t we split up? Those guys are running too fast!"

"Good idea!" Jun Moxiao nodded, immediately picked a direction, and flew off at extreme speed.

"Let’s go!" Luo Li gave an order to the Leize, and the Leize flapped its wings and immediately flew in pursuit.

Now that they had split into two groups, the chances of catching those fugitives were even greater.

Along the way, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao killed several disciples from the three major sects. But that wasn’t nearly enough.

By a rough estimate, at least seventeen or eighteen people had escaped this time. So far, they had only killed seven or eight, and about ten others had vanished, their whereabouts unknown.

Luo Li and Jun Moxiao chased them all the way to the outskirts of the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range but still couldn’t find those ten disciples.

"Both of you, come back!"

In different areas along the outer edge of the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao simultaneously heard their Ancestor’s voice in their minds.

"Ancestor, those few got away!" Luo Li said, unwilling to accept it, her eyes turning a little red with frustration.

She vaguely remembered that among the fleeing Shen Heng Sect disciples, there were at least three or four. She felt extremely aggrieved that they hadn’t managed to kill all the Shen Heng Sect disciples this time.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future..."

Above the Thunder Pool, Ye Yun smiled faintly. He reached out his arm, delving into the void. In an instant, he had snatched Luo Li and Jun Moxiao back.

They appeared above the Thunder Pool, both somewhat dumbfounded. They didn’t know how, but suddenly, as if the stars had shifted and space-time had warped, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place.

Below them was a lake. The water was a vivid, deep blue, emanating a Super Divine Dragon Breath rich with the essence of lightning.

"Could this be the Thunder Pool?" Jun Moxiao stared wide-eyed, exclaiming as he looked at the Thunder Pool below.

In the void, a figure clad in white suddenly appeared.

"Greetings, Ancestor." Luo Li and Jun Moxiao hastily bowed in respect.

They immediately understood. Their Ancestor must have used his Supreme Divine Power to transport them across such a vast expanse of the void.

Ye Yun nodded faintly and said softly, "Your Senior Sister is here tempering her physique. For the next few days, you will also temper yourselves here."

As Ye Yun spoke, he gently pointed, and two circles suddenly appeared on the lake’s surface.

Luo Li and Jun Moxiao’s figures abruptly vanished from their original positions. The next moment, they reappeared inside those two circles.

"Use this Thunder Pool Water to temper your physical bodies. It can accelerate the fusion speed of your Ancestral Dragon Bloodline," Ye Yun said with a faint smile.

He took out a small vial and, with a light flick of his finger, sent two drops of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood flying towards them.

"Take them," Ye Yun instructed.

Jun Moxiao and Luo Li felt a chill in their hearts and immediately opened their mouths, each swallowing their drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

Their bodies sank into the Thunder Pool, and they began to refine their drops of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood according to the Dragon God Sect’s unique cultivation technique.

Seeing that the Dragon God Sect’s only three remaining disciples were all quietly cultivating in the Thunder Pool, Ye Yun’s figure flashed, and he re-entered the void. After breaking through to the Divine Monarch Realm, he still needed some time to consolidate his cultivation base.

「Three days later.」

From the Thunder Pool, a heaven-shattering Super Divine Dragon Breath suddenly erupted.

The figure of an enormous Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat suddenly shot up from the pool’s water, materializing in mid-air.

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat had already grown its fifth tail. Its Super Divine Dragon Breath was also extremely powerful; it had broken through the Nirvana Realm and reached the Destiny Realm.

The Big Black Cat had its eyes closed, its usual playful expression completely gone. It had just achieved a breakthrough and was about to face the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Upon breaking through from the Nirvana Realm to the Destiny Realm, a Cultivator begins to gain a deeper and more profound understanding of the Heavenly Dao. The more profound this understanding, the stronger their control over the powers between Heaven and Earth. Therefore, this is why a Destiny Realm Cultivator—even one at the First Layer of Heaven’s Will Realm—far surpasses a Nirvana Realm Cultivator.

The dark clouds in the sky grew denser, resembling a colossal black fortress suspended in mid-air. Dazzling bolts of lightning brewed within, seeming to conceal the immense wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

Ye Yun remained seated in the void, calmly observing everything before him.

As a Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat, with each new tail the Big Black Cat grew, not only would its Divine Skills increase significantly, but it would also gain an extra life. The Will of Heaven would naturally not allow it to obtain this extra life so easily.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

One massive bolt of lightning after another descended from the sky, slamming down heavily onto the Big Black Cat.

The Big Black Cat thrust out its paws, fiercely swatting at those bolts of lightning, causing a tremendous explosive sound. It managed to withstand this first wave of lightning through sheer force, but the Big Black Cat also spat out a mouthful of blood.

How can this Heavenly Tribulation be so strong? The Big Black Cat was extremely perplexed.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Just as this thought crossed its mind, the second wave of lightning, even more ferocious, crashed down. It didn’t dare hesitate and immediately raised its paws to strike at this second wave.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The colossal explosions shook the entire Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range. At this moment, all the lightning-attributed demon beasts in the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range scattered in terror.

「Meanwhile, in the Accumulated Thunder Palace.」

The Big Black Horse, who was drinking, saw the scene outside, grinned, but said nothing.

"Senior, congratulations to that Daoist friend for being on the verge of breaking through to the Destiny Realm!" Thunder Dragon clasped his hands and said to the Big Black Horse with a smile.

"Don’t worry about it. Let’s continue drinking!" The Big Black Horse waved his hand dismissively.

The second wave of lightning caused the Big Black Cat to spit out another large mouthful of blood.

Immediately following were the third, fourth, and fifth waves of lightning, arriving in quick succession.

The Big Black Cat only managed to endure up to the fifth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation before its strength gave out. Its body was blasted into a bloody, mangled mess, a truly horrific sight.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The sixth wave of lightning then arrived. This sixth wave of lightning astonishingly contained more bolts than the previous five waves combined. If the Big Black Cat were to be struck by this, it would undoubtedly be blasted into nothingness, not even dregs remaining.

"Retreat!" Ye Yun uttered a single word.

In an instant, all the menacing bolts of lightning abruptly recoiled, retreating back into the dark clouds.
