As Zhou Bao felt the power of the space breaking open in the hollow, his cold smile grew wider.
“Come on Divine Wind Palace, Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, Youxian Temple! Since you want to play with me, I’ll play along with you!” Suddenly, Zhou Bao shrank and disappeared inside the hollow. After the last piece of his spirit disappeared, it was as if he had never been there at all.
A few moments after he left, the space inside the hollow started to ripple, and a golden warship burst forth from the depths of the hollow. On it were a group of men from Divine Wind Palace.
“Look! Sure enough, they’re crossing the Divine Tribulation!”
As soon as they entered the hollow, the men on the ship could feel a strong Divine Tribulation spirit surrounding them.
All these men were cultivated to the level of Lord of Heaven, and no-one was more familiar with crossing the Divine Tribulation than they. Only, most of them had crossed the Divine Tribulation in the Heaven Realm macro world. This was the first time they witnessed someone crossing the Void Thunder Tribulation. They were shocked when they first felt the huge Thunderbolt Qi.
“Is this the Void Thunder Tribulation? It truly lives up to its name. This is a hundred times stronger than the Thunder Tribulation crossing in the Heaven Realm macro world. Zhou Bao must be really confident, thinking that he can cross the Thunder Tribulation here!” A man from Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty raised his eyebrows slightly and there was an air of regret about him.
“And Wang She, too. He’s just as reckless. But Zhou Bao has the support of Immortal Palace and has accumulated a vast amount of power. Why does Wang She feel he can be as audacious? Maybe he’s just courting death!” But it was a Lord of Heaven at Divine Wind Palace who said this, a Highest Elder. He was not from the Yu family, nor the Hong family, but from another part of Divine Wind Palace – the Splendid Jade Hall.
This Splendid Jade Hall did not have much of a reputation in the Central Mainland Region. But it was incredibly famous in the three other regions that Divine Wind Palace controlled, because it was there that Splendid Jade Hall had a monopoly over most of the gemstone trade. This Highest Elder was called Shi Shengyan, and he was the one who had established the Splendid Jade Hall branch.
This Splendid Jade Hall had never been more powerful than the School of Five Virtues in the entire history of Divine Wind Palace. It had been an affiliate of the Yu family for a long time now. But as an affiliate it could extend its sphere of influence, which was the reason why its elders and rulers wanted to take part in this operation.
“That’s not necessarily true. Wang She’s accumulation may not be as great as Zhou Bao’s, but don’t forget he has received the essence and blood of a roc. These rocs, of which he is now an incarnation, were the strongest of the Primordial Fierce Beasts. Although they’re not as powerful as the fabled Fierce Beasts of the Six Royals, with this incarnation he doesn’t have to rely on anything to cross the Void Thunder Tribulation!” Yu Taixuan gave a slight sigh.
“What Brother Yu said is true. You see, it must be Wang She who is crossing the tribulation on that vast planet!” At Yu Taixuan’s side there was a bald guy from Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain. He was one of the more radical Lords of Heaven. When Zhou Bao slammed the twin hammers over Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain, he was in the pro-war faction. But he was restrained, so he continued to harbor a deep-seated hatred for Zhou Bao. This enmity had been stifled within him for ten years, and only now did he have the opportunity to express it. This was the first time that he had seen the might Zhou Bao had, and was all too aware of his combat capability. So he made sure he was well prepared for this operation so they were not worse off afterwards than when they began.
The vast planet he was pointing at was indeed the place where Wang She was crossing the tribulation. A huge roc shadow appeared on the star, seemingly about to engulf its whole surface.
He was not even aware of how huge this roc was. Even though its shadow covered the whole vast planet, it was its partial shadow. Its huge mouth was opened wide, spread over the formation map that had appeared in the hollow of the sky and it was swallowing a vast swathe of thunderbolts.
The Thunder Tribulation in the sky seemed to be feeding the shadow. With every gulp, the thunderbolts from the formation map disappeared but its body grew bigger and its Qi Power became more invincible.
“Four Thunder Tribulations, and he actually crossed the Void Thunder Tribulation!” Seeing the thunderbolts, which were hundreds of times larger than those in the Heaven Realm macro world, one of the men finally exclaimed, “He’s already crossed the Thunder Tribulation four times, and there is so much Divine Qi in this tribulation. He’ll have absorbed so much Qi by the time he’s finished!”
Indeed, the Void Thunder Tribulation was incredibly powerful, thousands of times more powerful than a Thunder Tribulation in a normal macro world. However, if he could withstand it, he would reap a thousand times more benefits than from a normal macro world. If nothing else, the amount of Divine Qi cascading from within the Void Immortal Realm was incomparably more than that in a normal Thunder Tribulation. Whoever was crossing this tribulation would gain bigger benefits than what he would gain from crossing a normal tribulation. His strength would also be tremendous.
A Genuine Immortal crossing a Thunder Tribulation in a hollow generally has to be a level stronger than one crossing a Thunder Tribulation in a macro world. The challenge of bypassing ranks was extremely simple. As Wang She crossed the Void Thunder Tribulation using only his own combat capability, he had far surpassed the power of a normal Venerable. For him, defeating a six- or seven-tribulation Lord of Heaven was not an impossible feat. If he happened to have two fairy weapons he could use, he could even face an eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven.
Although it is said that crossing the Thunder Tribulation six times can allow someone to practice up to the level of the Self-world, it would need much more strength than what an ordinary Venerable possessed. It was a qualitative leap in strength. But for a Venerable like Wang She who had crossed the Void Thunder Tribulation, he would have enough power to break the space in the Self-world, and so could defeat a Lord of Heaven. Therefore, by crossing the Thunder Tribulation, he had already accumulated enough power.
“The Void Thunder Tribulation really lives up to its reputation. We cannot allow such a guy to survive it and return to the Heaven Realm macro world alive. Otherwise, it could cause too many problems for us. After crossing the Thunder Tribulation for the fourth time, he would have absorbed so much Divine Qi that if we gave him enough time to cross it five or six times, how would we ever maintain our current standing?”
Almost all of the Lords of Heaven who witnessed Wang She crossing the tribulation were filled with envy. They did not have this kind of power, nor were they brave enough to cross the Void Thunder Tribulation. Evidently in the future, he would be much more powerful than them. Naturally, their assumption was that he would kill them.
On the vast planet, Wang She had successfully crossed through the Thunder Tribulation, and he would soon start on the fifth crossing.
The fifth crossing would be much more frenetic than the fourth, but the main thing was that he had covered the vast planet with his roc shadow. After the final bombardment of thunderbolts in the fourth Thunder Tribulation, it had already started to collapse. The power of the roc had clearly reached its limits and it would not be able to withstand any more attacks.
After watching the last onslaught from the fourth Thunder Tribulation, the men on the warship thought that Wang She’s tribulation was already over. But none of them realized that Wang She was totally ready to start the fifth Thunder Tribulation.
“Is the guy crazy? Does he want to die? There’s no way he could cross a fifth Thunder Tribulation in his current state!”
Although none of them had ever crossed a Void Thunder Tribulation, they could visibly discern that Wang She’s roc incarnation had reached its limit and would not be able to withstand much more before it totally gave way under the onslaught. In this case, even if Wang She had successfully crossed the fifth Thunder Tribulation, if he should collapse, all of the Divine Qi that he did not absorb would just burst open, and the spirit would disappear. If this happened, the tribulation crossing would be deemed a failure.
“Look, what’s that?”
Shengyan pointed at a layer of golden light emerging slowly from the vast planet.
“That’s…!”
As this golden light emerged, all of the men felt a surging force that totally resisted the fifth Thunder Tribulation and even made it vanish into thin air.
“Fairy weapon, it’s a fairy weapon!” Yu Taixuan cried out in alarm.
“The Thunder Emperor’s Supreme Thunder Canopy, how did he manage to get hold of such a powerful fairy weapon?”
Yu Taixuan was the leader of these Lords of Heaven, but the most powerful man was an old man who sat silently at his side. His power had reached the peak of an eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. He only needed to experience one more Thunder Tribulation to reach the Human Immortal Karmic Rank. It was said that his accumulation was already enough, and he was already preparing to initiate the tribulation. After he completed this important step, he would become a Taoist Chun Feng of the Tang Dynasty Youxian Taoist Temple.
This Taoist Chun Feng was extremely old and wise in judgment. When he saw the light emerging from the vast planet there was a look of concern on his face, which was a contrast to his normally dispassionate expression.
“Supreme Thunder Canopy, how is this possible? This is the fairy weapon which the Thunder Emperor of antiquity used to carry to control the innumerable thunderbolts. How could Wang She have it?”
“It seems that Wang She had entered the Thunder Emperor’s touring abode and benefitted enormously!” Taoist Chun Feng took a deep breath and calmed himself, but he still could not conceal his bitter envy.
The Supreme Thunder Canopy was the fairy weapon of the Thunder Emperor and it was used to control the innumerable thunderbolts. This was the best thing to use to cross the Thunder Tribulation. With this item he would not need any accumulation, and he could easily and safely cross the ninth tribulation and become a Human Immortal. Would there be anything this world that could move this old bastard more than becoming a Karmic Rank Genuine Immortal? No, there was none.
“I want this Supreme Thunder Canopy!” the Taoist Chun Feng blurted out, silencing the whole group of Lords of Heaven.
After a while, Yu Taixuan took a deep breath. “I have no say in this matter, I just want Wang She and Zhou Bao killed, then the fairy weapon will be yours!”
“Well then, what about the rest of you?” The Taoist Chun Feng nodded in satisfaction and turned to the several Lords of Heaven from Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain.
“Hmph, only the predestined shall be able to receive the fairy weapon. Fate will decide who gets it, not His Elder the Taoist Chun Feng.” It was not easy for Youxian Taoist Temple of the Tang Dynasty to speak with the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain together in the same place in the Three Western Regions. The bald brute replied, “When the time comes, it’ll depend on each of our ability.”
“Okay. Then I’ll just see what kind of ability a guy from the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain has!” Upon hearing this, the Taoist Chun Feng’s expression turned cold, and he felt an insatiable desire to kill.
