Chapter 282: Heavenly Tribulation Is Tsundere
Chapter 282: Heavenly Tribulation Is Tsundere
Many figures appeared in the air. They were the various sects’ elders.
Naturally, such a huge matter as Qi Shaoxuan challenging Divine Firmament’s four top prodigies had attracted the entire Eastern Wilderness’ attention.
It could be said that this battle’s outcome would influence the two major sacred grounds’ reputation and status. Thus, this battle was of utmost importance.
Don’t think that it was just a few Golden Core juniors battling. In fact, more than two Sages were secretly guarding and competing in secret.
Originally, many of the sects that the Purple Mansion Saint had challenged were already pleased that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi worked together to oppress Qi Shaoxuan.
Now that a Heavenly Tribulation had unexpectedly appeared at the Saint Mountain, it instantly pulled everyone’s attention.
It was known that the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, was blessed by providence. He was considered the Son of Providence that was no inferior to Qi Shaoxuan.
Many people even claimed that Shen Tian’s providence and talent far surpassed Qi Shaoxuan’s.
As to whether such claims were true or fake, or if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was deliberately spreading such a rumor would be known soon.
...
The Heavenly Tribulation above the Saint Mountain was still forming.
Countless mighty beings in the sky retreated far away from the Heavenly Tribulation as they did not want to be involved.
It was not that the Heavenly Tribulation above the Saint Mountain was very powerful, but it was that the Heavenly Tribulation... held grudges.
No matter how powerful one’s cultivation level was, as long as one intervened with someone else or an artifact’s lightning tribulation, then they would definitely be targeted.
Also, the lightning tribulation would adjust the lightning’s strength to attack one according to their cultivation level, providing a thoughtful one-to-one customized service.
Thus, the higher one’s cultivation level was, the more they did not dare to provoke the lightning tribulation.
As for those that dared to whip or slap the Heavenly Tribulation cloud... Erm... They all had a tragic ending.
Lightning struck from the clouds. It formed longswords made of lightning and slashed toward the Saint Mountain.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a black object rose to the sky from the Saint Mountain. Its surface was covered with black armor that blocked the lightning.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Lightning longswords slashed onto that black object which emitted eye-blinding light.
Then, everyone was able to see clearly what that black thing was. It was not the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, but a black egg.
It spun slowly in the air, and the Spirit Qi within a radius of tens of thousands of feet formed a huge whirlpool that surged toward that black egg.
As more and more Spirit Qi surged into that egg, the dragon scales on its surface became much clearer, and even dragon roars resounded.
Ao Wu, who was underneath Qi Shaoxuan, turned pale and let out a soft groan.
“Such a powerful sense of oppression! This oppression stems from my bloodline. How is it possible? I have the purest Rank-8 Black Dragon bloodline!”
Ao Wu, who was originally flying in the sky, fell to the ground heavily as a powerful and vast pressure suppressed it. It was to the point he could not help but lower his head.
It was not like a special method was used, just the oppression from one’s bloodline—the oppression of high-rank Dragons toward low-rank Dragons.
Because of that reason, Ao Wu was all the more in disbelief as he was an Eight-Rank Black Dragon.
He was already the most talented prodigy the Dragon race had produced in the past few thousand years.
Even if all of Black Dragon Island’s prodigies in the past 10,000 years were included, he could also be ranked in the top five.
Also, the other four Rank-8 Black Dragons’ bloodline’s purity was not necessarily higher than his. So it was impossible for them to emit pressure powerful enough to make him feel pressured.
Although Ao Wu was young, he had inherited the Dragons’ pride. Hence, he was unwilling to allow a Dragon of unknown origin to suppress him. His limbs were deeply embedded into the ground as he resisted, but he still rose his head unyieldingly and looked toward the sky above the Saint Mountain proudly.
He had to see clearly just what that mysterious dragon egg was—he had to!
“A dragon egg of unknown origin wants to make me submit? Impossible! I am firm and unyielding. I would rather die than lower my head!”
After three minutes...
Ao Wu had completely given up on resisting and just lay on the ground.
Sigh... Resisting is too tiring.
Since even my bloodline feels that this dragon egg’s bloodline purity is higher than mine, then it should be correct!
Lying down to show respect was not shameful when facing other Dragons with higher bloodline purity.
Yeap... Such a feeling of looking at a powerful Dragon transcending their tribulation is quite good.
Qi Shaoxuan at the side could not help but place his hand to his forehead.
“...”
Can you at least tell me earlier if you really cannot stand it?
As my comrade who signed the Dragon God contract with me, your face is my face.
Eating your words right after saying such ambitious words, it’s simply too humiliating!
...
“Cough, cough. Erm... My comrade has met an unexpected situation. Could we temporarily stop our battle?”
Qi Shaoxuan could not help gulping down his saliva and breaking out in cold sweat upon seeing how Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi glared covetously at him.
Frankly speaking, if there was nothing wrong with Ao Wu, they would be invincible after merging together with the True Dragon Imperial Sutra.
Not to mention Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi, even if Zhang Yunting joined in, Qi Shaoxuan would also have absolute confidence that he could defeat them.
However, now that Ao Wu was being suppressed to the ground and could not get up, how could they fight together?
Also, Qi Shaoxuan had obviously sensed that his battle strength had been weakened.
Although he had obtained many fortuitous opportunities, his battle strength’s main sources were the Purple Mansion Imperial Sutra, True Dragon Imperial Sutra, and Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra.
The Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra was mainly used for healing and recovery, while the Purple Mansion Imperial Sutra and True Dragon Imperial Sutra were mainly combat techniques.
Meanwhile, True Dragon’s power within him was of the same origin, so he would also be oppressed by Dragons of higher ranks.
It’s just that the oppression he felt was not as exaggerating as Ao Wu’s. Even so, Qi Shaoxuan could feel that his battle prowess had been weakened by 20%–30%.
If he were to continue the battle in such a condition, Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi would most likely sweep the floor with him. Thus, no matter how shameful it was, Qi Shaoxuan could only request for the duel to be postponed until Ao Wu recovered.
The White Tiger made of lightning stared at Qi Shaoxuan, and Zhang Yunxi’s cold voice echoed. “Didn’t you say we managed to make you take this seriously?”
Qi Shaoxuan, “...”
Fang Chang’s Giant Spirit True Body was holding the spear as if thinking where to stab.
“Didn’t you say that you could feel ardor and zeal coursing through your blood? You even thought that we weren’t strong enough, ain’t that right?”
Qi Shaoxuan, “...”
He could feel his face turn red from embarrassment, so he silently used his purple aura to cover his whole body.
If he had known that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was such a tough nut to crack, then he would not have said those things so early.
He was left with eggs on his face.
It was too humiliating!
...
Fortunately, although they said those words, Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang stopped and did not continue attacking.
On the one hand, they had indeed consumed much of their strength after going all out. On the other hand, Shen Tian had already come out of seclusion.
They had tried so hard to stop Qi Shaoxuan to maintain Saint Shen Tian’s dignity so that he would not be counted as defeated without even fighting.
Now that Shen Tian had come out of seclusion, Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi believed that given his strength, he could definitely easily beat Qi Shaoxuan up fair and square in a one-vs-one battle.
By then, wouldn’t it be much more impressive than having a few of them fighting against Qi Shaoxuan?
As for Qi Shaoxuan panicking over the fact that his face turned red, there was no need at all as everyone’s attention was on the lightning tribulation on the Saint Mountain.
They were curious just why the Divine Firmament Saint... turned into a dragon egg and was even transcending the tribulation.
Was it possible that the Divine Firmament Saint had stolen the dragon egg’s body and was about to become a Sage directly?
The crowd was making all kinds of speculations. Of course, it was only people with limited knowledge that were making such guesses.
The truly powerful cultivators had already found out what was happening on the Saint Mountain. They also started to think of their own plans.
“Fang Chang, Yunting, and Yunxi, the power of this lightning tribulation is equal to the attack of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Thus, it’s not very threatening to the three of you. You could take this chance to understand the forbidden chapter.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s cold voice echoed within the trio’s heads.
The three of them nodded simultaneously and instantly headed toward the Saint Mountain’s summit, entering the Heavenly Tribulation cloud’s range.
Of course, they did not barge into the lightning tribulation’s core area and affect the dragon egg’s tribulation. Instead, they sat down cross-legged at the edge of the lightning tribulation, absorbing the dispersing lightning energy.
In an instant, it was as if the three of them were resonating with the lightning of heaven and earth. The lightning marks between their brows were shining brightly.
...
“The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s forbidden chapter is extraordinary indeed. They are even able to absorb the Heavenly Tribulation’s power.”
“I heard that only the Saint and Saintess have the qualifications to cultivate the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra. It’s because the current Saint strongly recommended that there should be exceptions. As such, Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting were able to learn it.”
“No wonder Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting support the Divine Firmament Saint so much. The kindness of teaching one a cultivation technique could be compared to saving one’s life in the cultivation world.”
“If I had to say, it’s because of the Divine Firmament Saint’s courage. He has the true heart of invincibility and hopes that his juniors and seniors can be as strong as possible.”
“The forbidden chapter exists for the Saint to be able to win against other disciples. If everyone learned the same cultivation technique, then the Saint would not have absolute dominance against other true disciples. Therefore, one’s authority would be easily questioned.”
“You’re right. The other Saints all say that they have the ‘heart of invincibility’, or that they are ‘invincible’, but if they truly were, would they need to resort to such means?”
“Relying on the forbidden chapters to be invincible against others of the same sect does not count as being truly invincible! Decent people won’t resort to such means, would you?”
“Now it looks like from just his generosity alone, the Divine Firmament Saint is better than the Purple Mansion Saint.”
...
The various sects’ disciples started whispering. However, to cultivators, the sound of such “whispering” was quite loud.
The Purple Mansion Saint’s face instantly turned even redder from embarrassment.
He knew that many people were definitely leading the discussion in that direction. He had offended too many people when he challenged Eastern Wilderness’ various sects, after all.
If he continued his undefeated legend and truly lived up to his “invincible” title, then those people would naturally have nothing to say and could only secretly envy him.
However, the problem was he had met his obstacle in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Thus, those people naturally could not help but start to speak badly about him like crazy.
There were even some people that purposely wanted the Purple Mansion Saint to hear them. If they really wanted to “whisper”, then why didn’t they use voice transmission?
“Why hasn’t the Divine Firmament Saint not appeared yet?”
Qi Shaoxuan’s depressed voice resounded from within his purple aura. It was not that he was dumb as he knew that the black egg was definitely not Shen Tian. However, a dragon egg with such high bloodline purity appearing in the Saint Mountain so suddenly was enough for Qi Shaoxuan to have a bad feeling.
All of a sudden, the crowd was stirred up again.
“Hurry and take a look! Someone is coming out of the Saint Palace.”
“Such a handsome man! His appearance, his figure, his temperament, and his clothing—all perfect!”
“He has actually such a huge merit halo behind him! Amitabha! Just how many good deeds did he do? Amazing.”
“How is it possible!? Just what did he do? The growth of spirit herbs accelerate, spirit flowers bloom, and spirit butterflies gather wherever he walks!”
“Is it possible that this is the legendary Divine Firmament Saint? Everyone says that he’s the most handsome man in Eastern Wilderness, I have fallen in love!”
...
Qi Shaoxuan’s heart skipped a beat as he eavesdropped on the crowd.
He took a deep breath, and two small holes appeared on the purple aura that originally covered his entire body. He then looked toward the Saint Palace through those two small holes.
He saw that the gates to the Saint Palace opened gradually, and a young man wearing White Dragon clothes made of brocade walked out slowly.
He was around 16 years old and looked much younger than Qi Shaoxuan—his appearance was peerless!
Even if Qi Shaoxuan was already a rare good-looking man in Eastern Wilderness, he had to acknowledge that Shen Tian was a little more handsome than him.
Also, the avatar behind Shen Tian did not lose to Qi Shaoxuan at all. It was even stronger at that.
There was a huge golden merit halo behind Shen Tian, which gave out a comfortable golden light.
Such a type of halo would suppress fiendish demons and also enhance one’s comprehension speed, allowing him to get twice the result with half the effort when training in all kinds of cultivation techniques.
Normally speaking, only Daoists or Holy Monks cultivating Dao or Buddhism who did good deeds for thousands of years would be able to possess such a merit halo.
Others would respect anyone who had such a halo as this represented that the Heavenly Dao recognized him as a person with great benevolence.
Just the merit halo alone was able to completely defeat the so-called Dragon God avatar behind Qi Shaoxuan.
Not to mention, many other avatars were behind Shen Tian’s merit halo.
There was also the mighty Lightning Emperor between the void behind Shen Tian, and the ten divine beasts surrounding him, such as the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and so on, as if he was inflicting the lightning tribulation on behalf of the heavens.
There were also countless swords surging around him like a raging storm. Their fearsome sharpness would send shivers down people’s backs.
Rainbow Divine Light covered the sky—it was all-encompassing with the mighty power of being able to wipe out everything.
Even Qi Shaoxuan’s Dragon God avatar could be seen behind Shen Tian.
“What is he? An avatar collection freak? Damn it!”
Qi Shaoxuan’s mouth twitched. He had to acknowledge that he had been completely defeated in terms of appearance.
“Avatars are only a partial manifestation of one’s cultivation level and do not necessarily represent one’s true strength.” Qi Shaoxuan held his Heaven’s Halberd in his hands tightly. “I will never admit defeat without a fight.”
Just you wait!
After this egg finishes transcending its tribulation and my Spirit Qi recovers completely, I’ll definitely want to have a one-vs-one fight with this Divine Firmament Saint. I’ll beat him fair and square!
The thick purple aura’s two small holes revealed Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes, which were filled with determination. They were firm and passionate.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Tian did not sense Qi Shaoxuan’s battle intent at all.
He was originally all relaxed while bathing, but he suddenly heard Ao Bing’s voice transmission. She was about to hatch from her egg.
The reason Ao Bing had undergone Nirvana and became an egg was to restore a large amount of her lost essence and live a second life using the Dragon race’s mystic arts. Thus, after waiting for so long, she was finally able to hatch.
As Ao Bing’s contract partner, Shen Tian would naturally cooperate with her fully. If she failed to transcend the tribulation and died on Divine Firmament’s Saint Mountain, then who knew what the Black Dragon Island would do if they learned of this!
Thus, Shen Tian made a prompt decision to deactivate Saint Mountain’s protective array and wanted to think of ways to help Ao Bing successfully transcend her tribulation.
Fortunately, the lightning tribulation Ao Bing was experiencing now was only the Heavenly Tribulation for Nirvana and not to become a Sage, so it was not extremely powerful.
The strength of the Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning could most likely at most kill a peak Nascent Soul cultivator!
Of course, it was not those peak Nascent Soul cultivators from just any random sect. They shouldn’t even have the qualifications to be called a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Let’s put it this way—when randomly picking 10 peak Nascent Soul cultivators among Divine Firmament’s true disciples, about seven would die, and three would survive if the lightning tribulation struck them.
“Senior Bing, can you take this Heavenly Tribulation?” asked Shen Tian as he stood in front of the Saint Palace and looked toward the black egg in the center of the lightning tribulation.
The dragon egg shone faintly, and Ao Bing’s voice sounded within Shen Tian’s mind. “You’re still calling me ‘Senior’? I said, call me Sister Bing!
“Such an extent of Heavenly Tribulation won’t be able to do anything to me. It’s just that I’m still in the egg, so I won’t be able to eat pills to replenish my Dharmic power consumption.”
The dragon egg’s surface glimmered with dim light and gathered to form a black dragon claw, which slashed the lightning tribulation into pieces. “Do you still have Nirvana Holy Liquid? Give me some.”
Nirvana Holy Liquid can restore Ao Bing’s Dharmic power?
Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. He took out a pile of bottles, most of them being white in color.
He took out a red bottle and walked toward the black dragon egg.
“Sister Bing, find a hole to stay in, and I’ll pour the Nirvana Holy Liquid in it.”
After saying that, Shen Tian slowly walked toward the depths of the Heavenly Tribulation that was filled with lightning.
He had thought of the possibility of directly throwing the bottle toward her, but he was afraid it might be struck by lightning. It was better for him to hold onto it.
Seeing Shen Tian slowly enter the lightning tribulation, those figures in the air started staring at him with blazing gazes.
The Divine Firmament Saint is going to show his strength now?
Ao Wu asked curiously from within the thick purple aura, “Brother Shaoxuan, would you be able to block such a level of Heavenly Tribulation?”
Qi Shaoxuan sneered. “As long as I have my Heaven’s Halberd, I can block tens of such lightning strikes easily.”
Qi Shaoxuan was not bluffing. Although he was only at the Golden Core stage, he was able to defeat peak Nascent Soul cultivators with his true battle strength.
Qi Shaoxuan would even be able to have a brief fight with weaker Soul Formation cultivators if he went all out.
Of course, it was only briefly. If he stayed any longer, he would die.
As such, Qi Shaoxuan could block 20 or 30 strikes easily in his peak condition together with the usage of healing pills when facing Ao Bing Nirvana tribulation’s lightning.
Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian with interest. He wanted to take this chance to find out how many lightning strikes Shen Tian could block.
From a certain aspect, it was also a great chance for him to gauge Shen Tian’s strength.
...
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Shen Tian stepped into the lightning tribulation’s core area.
The plants had already almost all withered after being struck by lightning. However, once Shen Tian stepped onto them, the originally black and withered plants instantly grew new buds, while spirit flowers also bloomed.
If one had to say that this vast Heavenly Tribulation was like an invincible might that could destroy the world, then Shen Tian, who was covered with green light, would be the rejuvenation of life.
All things would be rejuvenated wherever he went.
Rumble!
The lightning in the sky seemed to have been angered by Shen Tian.
You dare save the plants I have struck! You think you can be forgiven if you’re handsome?
Alright, I won’t strike the plants anymore. I’ll attack you!
Bright Divine Lightning struck and headed for Shen Tian’s head. Even the space where the lightning had passed was twisted.
It had appeared!
It was Shen Tian’s moment! How was he going to stop this Heavenly Tribulation!?
Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes widened as he had already thought of Shen Tian as his lifelong enemy.
He urgently wanted to understand just how strong Shen Tian was and whether Shen Tian was worthy enough to be his equal and compete with him!
The Heavenly Tribulation was getting closer and closer to Shen Tian!
Closer and closer...
Closer and closer...
Finally, that lightning turned into a sword and slashed at Shen Tian.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Shen Tian did not attack when facing the sword formed from the Heavenly Tribulation, nor did he block. Instead, he slowly opened his arms.
That’s right! He was welcoming the Heavenly Tribulation in his embrace!
Countless people’s jaws instantly dropped. Was this even possible!?
That was the Heavenly Tribulation!
Even if it was the Nirvana Tribulation, a weakened version, its lightning could kill peak Nascent Soul prodigies.
Thus, even if the Divine Firmament Saint truly had matchless handsomeness and peerless strength, was it really alright to seek for his death like this? Did he think that the Heavenly Tribulation would be lenient on him just because he was handsome?
Boom!
The lightning sword heavily slashed on top of Shen Tian’s head, but only the sound “clang” could be heard.
Immediately after, that lightning sword dissipated into an abundance of lightning energy and surged into Shen Tian’s body.
Meanwhile, not even a single strand of hair on Shen Tian’s head was cut.
The sounds of people taking sharp breaths could be heard all over the Saint Mountain.
Ooohhh!
Amazing!
The Heaven’s Halberd Qi Shaoxuan was holding fell to the ground with a “bang”, and his rich purple aura started surging vigorously.
One could see through the two holes that Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes were filled with shock.
What is going on?
Didn’t the Divine Firmament Saint cultivate the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra?
How could he have such a hard head from cultivating both the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra and Lightning Emperor Body Tempering Art?
Even if one cultivates the Prajna Iron Head Sutra to Greater Mastery or even Perfected, they might not be able to do that!
Is this guy’s head made of Immortal Metal!?
Frankly speaking, Qi Shaoxuan doubted himself. Others were the same too.
All the cultivators who paid attention to the Saint Mountain’s lightning tribulation had the same thoughts as Qi Shaoxuan.
Which was—He’s in a league of his own!
...
Amongst the Divine Firmament disciples, those from the Favored Ones were not resting.
The Rainbow Divine Lightning, which Qin Yundi had specially made, exploded in the air, and longswords overlapped with each other to form a “Tian” word.
“Top among the Immortals and pride on earth! We will reach Immortal Ascension if we follow him every day!”
Their voices were thundering and emitted an imposing aura. Their collective shouting astounded others.
In an instant, the other sacred grounds’ Saints and Senior Brothers that were in hiding to watch the fun all instantly turned green with envy.
Their envy was also filled with resentment.
Is this the difference between my and others’ juniors? Why are my Junior Brothers and Sisters so insensible!?
I’m just too jealous of the Divine Firmament Saint!
...
Such were the thoughts of the other sects’ prodigies, but Shen Tian did not take notice at all.
What he was thinking now was very simple, and that was... never to oppose the Heavenly Tribulation, no matter what.
Such a joke, Shen Tian was not someone seeing the Heavenly Tribulation for the first time!
He had already seen others transcending the tribulation to become Sages more than three times. He was fully experienced!
As everyone knew, the Heavenly Tribulation was a tsundere.
The more one disrespected it and clamored in front of it, the more ruthless the Heavenly Tribulation would strike, and the more tragic the person’s ending would be.
The Mother Vine, Lu Jie was such an example, Her main body was the Divine Devouring Vine ranked 9th on the Spiritual Wood List, and she was an existence that was almost invincible beneath Sages.
Wasn’t she impressive?
However, so what if she was amazing? She had dared to go against the Heavenly Tribulation and even used her vine to whip the Heavenly Tribulation cloud!
Thus, she had almost died from being struck by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Also, the Lifeless King and other three Sages had actually dared to form Blood Buddhas to stop and slap the Heavenly Tribulation.
In the end, the Heavenly Tribulation had directly destroyed the All Are Equal Domain and struck them until they were charred!
In conclusion, one would definitely have a tragic ending when opposing the Heavenly Tribulation.
On the other hand, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had been very smart. She had prayed to the Heavenly Tribulation cloud before transcending the tribulation by saying, “Divine Firmament Disciple Golden Lotus wishes to undergo a tribulation to become a Sage. I hope the Heavenly Dao will have mercy on me.”
In the end, the Heavenly Tribulation’s strength had weakened greatly, reducing the pressure on her.
As such, before the mighty Heavenly Tribulation, it was better to be more obedient. Since Heavenly Tribulation wanted to strike Shen Tian, he just let the Heavenly Tribulation strike him.
Anyway, that bit of power was unable to hurt him. Shen Tian was even able to absorb the lightning from the Heavenly Tribulation.
Shen Tian walked underneath the Heavenly Tribulation clouds with a smile that would make countless women go crazy.
He formed Dao hand seals with his hand. “Be it rain or lightning, it’s all the kindness of the heavens. I, the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, thank the Heavenly Dao for granting me lightning.”
After saying that, Shen Tian smiled sincerely. He believed that the Heavenly Dao could sense his obedience...
No, erm, I mean my sincere heart...
...
On the other side...
Once Shen Tian finished speaking, the whole Divine Firmament Small World was stirred up.
“WTF! WTF!? The Saint is actually completely fine after being struck on the head by such a powerful lightning sword sent by the Heavenly Tribulation!? And he still thanks the Heavenly Tribulation for granting him lightning?”
“Be it rain or lightning, it’s all the kindness of the heavens... He has such a profound understanding! As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint, he is in a league of his own.”
“No, no, no! Can’t you hear that the Divine Firmament Saint is only thanking the Heavenly Tribulation on the surface? In fact, he’s taunting the Heavenly Tribulation that it was not strong enough!”
“You’re right. As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint, the strongest prodigy in Eastern Wilderness. He’s actually competing with the Heavenly Dao!”
“He endured the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body and even dared to mock the Heavenly Dao in front of the Heavenly Tribulation. He’s just too domineering! Oh, ah, I am about to go crazy with admiration for him!”
“Standing proudly under the heavens, dominating the sky, enduring all attacks by the Heavenly Tribulation, losing if he dodges! That’s what a true young paragon is!”
“Who dares to claim to be invincible or undefeated in front of the Heavenly Tribulation?”
...
The prodigies and elders from the various sects were having heated discussions.
The Favored Ones’ founding members were all paying close attention to Shen Tian.
Song Fugui was murmuring to himself while he touched his beard, “As expected of Master Heavens. He thinks the Heavenly Tribulation is nothing. He’s so domineering!
“How about we record Master Heavens’ current magnificent figure? We could then make limited edition Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans. They could most likely be sold for twice the price.
“Yeap, we could also create a limited edition Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun and imprint Master Heavens’ magnificent figure onto it to reward the Favored Ones’ members.”
Song Fugui seemed to have vaguely found a new business opportunity.
Liu Taiyi started to write furiously:
“The Purple Mansion Saint was aggressively arrogant and looked down on everyone when he came to Divine Firmament—he was unrivaled.
“However, when the Heavenly Tribulation descended upon us, the Purple Mansion Saint trembled as he hid within his purple aura. He dared not provoke the Heavenly Tribulation as his life was of utmost importance.
“Saint Master Heavens had a heroic spirit. He stood underneath the Heavenly Tribulation proudly and was perfectly composed even if the lightning sword was about to slash him.
“He pointed toward the Heavenly Tribulation cloud coldly and dared to taunt the heavens bravely!”
The red-robed Eunuch Gui looked at Shen Tian, who everyone was paying close attention to now, his eyes full of gratification.
Time has passed too fast. 16 years went by in the blink of an eye, and His Highness has finally grown up.
When His Highness was born, there were drastic changes to heaven and earth as weird energy had intruded.
At the cost of Concubine Lan’s life, His Highness was finally saved.
His Highness has finally grown to become the brightest prodigy in the whole Eastern Wilderness, and countless Fairies would go crazy for him.
Concubine Lan would definitely be happy if she witnessed such a scene.
...
Shen Tian did not pay attention to the others’ conversations as he was fully focused on the Heavenly Tribulation.
As expected, he had guessed correctly.
As long as he did not take the initiative to attack the Heavenly Tribulation cloud, the Heavenly Tribulation would not specifically target him.
Of course, as for how the popcorn-eating crowd would twist the fact that the Heavenly Tribulation did not target him, Shen Tian did not know.
Anyway, he treated the Heavenly Tribulation with esteemed respect and would secretly say, “Heavenly Dao is the best” 100 times with each step.
There was definitely no harm in buttering up to the Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore, everyone witnessed a peculiar scene.
After Shen Tian had “provoked” the Heavenly Tribulation, he was actually able to stroll idly underneath the Heavenly Tribulation cloud.
It was even weirder that the Heavenly Tribulation did not continue striking Shen Tian. Instead, it directly ignored him and struck the dragon egg.
Did this mean that the Heavenly Tribulation chickened out?
Shen Tian finally reached in front of the dragon egg with the small red bottle in his hand.
Ao Bing had already endured half of her Nirvana tribulation, but it was obvious she had consumed quite an amount of her Dharmic power.
The lightning tribulation would become more powerful as time passed. If she did not have any means of restoring her Dharmic power, she would most likely have to suffer some injuries.
“Hu-hurry and give me the holy liquid I want... I want to recover my vitality and live my second life in the most perfect condition!”
Ao Bing’s voice was slightly panting. Shen Tian hurriedly poured the Nirvana Holy Liquid in the red bottle into the hole.
A faint silvery-white holy liquid surrounded the dragon egg, and its rich Spirit Qi instantly made spirit herbs and spirit flowers in the vicinity start growing rapidly.
Meanwhile, the dragon egg, which originally emitted dim light, started recovering rapidly and became much more energetic.
“Huh? Why do I feel like the effects of the holy liquid this time are much weaker than before
“However, the amount makes up for it. You’re still counted as generous to me.
“Don’t worry. Once I regain my strength and come out, I’ll definitely protect you.”
Although the voice sounded like that of a young loli, the words she said were extremely domineering. Shen Tian could not help but smile bitterly.
Although he knew that she was over 10,000 years, her baby voice was still very deceiving.
Who knows what Ao Bing will look like after she comes out of the egg...
Will she be a mature dominating lady or that fleeting glance of a small girl wearing a black dress with a voluptuous figure?
Anyway, can I really ride her!?
