We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World

Gazing at the bizarre scene unfolding in the sky, everyone cried out in astonishment. Even as they exclaimed in wonder, they also quickly retreated.

The eighth heavenly tribulation had arrived. The ninth one was the legendary

Heart Tempering Tribulation which targeted not only the tribulation transcender but all living beings in the surroundings.

The weaker one was, the less affected they would be. On the contrary, the stronger one was, the greater the impact.

If a Saint Realm powerhouse was careless and affected by the Heart Tempering Tribulation, they would be annihilated in an instant if they failed to respond properly.

They retreated tens of thousands of miles before finally stopping and looking up at the heavenly tribulation again.

What was different from their guesses was… After Su Chen had shattered countless heavenly dragons, there was no sign of the Heart Tempering Tribulation descending amidst the heavenly tribulation.

The sea of lightning fell silent at this moment.

A full incense stick’s worth of time passed before the endless heavenly tribulation descended once more.

This time, all the thunderbolts converged together. Each one pierced through heaven and earth, seemingly capable of shattering the firmament. As these thunderbolts gathered, it was as if the legendary World Tree were pressing down with tremendous might. Even Saint Realm powerhouses would feel their scalps tingle when facing such might.

Every bolt of lightning within the heavenly tribulation had reached a terrifying extreme. Now, with all of them converging together, their might was enough to annihilate heaven and earth. Even peak-stage Saint Realm powerhouses would not dare boast that they could withstand such a strike.

How…How is this possible?”

Gazing at the scene unfolding in the distant sky, everyone was stunned in place.

“Wha…What about the Heart Tempering Tribulation? Why isn’t it the Heart Tempering Tribulation? Why isn’t the heavenly tribulation following the proper order?” the Wang family Patriarch looked at the bizarre scene in the sky and muttered under his breath.

Throughout history, nine heavenly tribulations were not unheard of. The first eight stages were always lightning tribulations. Only the ninth was the Heart Tempering Tribulation!

But why? Why when it came to Su Chen, this heavenly tribulation was not following the proper order? Why was the ninth one still a lightning tribulation?

Could it be…

Thinking of this, everyone’s pupils involuntarily constricted, their expressions becoming somewhat aghast.

Could it be…the tribulation Su Chen was transcending was not the ninth heavenly tribulation? But the legendary tenth heavenly tribulation?!

Pondering this, everyone’s breathing unconsciously stopped. The tenth heavenly tribulation… Did it truly exist?

Rumble!

Deafening roars drowned out Su Chen completely. Everywhere one looked, all was a crimson patch. The world was so vast that one could not even distinguish the direction between heaven and earth. Innumerable thunderbolts charged into his head, blindingly bright. At his feet, countless bolts of lightning shot forth like a vast ocean, flattening the distant mountains entirely.

His divine soul was also greatly impacted. Endless thunder seemed intent on tearing it to pieces as it rapidly surged into him, filling every corner.

It could be said that now, Su Chen was being tempered by the power of lightning both inside and out. Countless bolts of lightning spurted out from his seven apertures. His entire being seemed to have transformed into a ball of lightning, indistinguishable from each other.

“The ninth heavenly tribulation… Hiss! So terrifying! Although it’s not the Heart Tempering Tribulation, its might isn’t much different!” Wang Yunzong muttered as he gazed upon the heavenly tribulation before him.

Witnessing the scene of Su Chen’s tribulation, he could not help but feel a trace of fear towards his own future tribulation. This thought had just arisen when suddenly…

Buzz…

A droning sound rang out between heaven and earth. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, everything was instantly flooded with white light. At this moment, everyone lost their five senses. They could not clearly see anything, nor hear any sounds, as if they had collectively gone deaf. For cultivators like them, this was extremely uncomfortable. It made them nearly vomit blood.

Some powerful existences even felt their divine souls being ripped apart, their faces deathly pale as crimson blood flowed out from their seven apertures.

“This is…the Heart…Heart Tempering Tribulation! It’s the Heart Tempering Tribulation!”

Although they had lost their five senses, their minds were still racing rapidly. Almost instantly, everyone realized what was happening.

“Why has it arrived so suddenly?”

This was everyone’s first thought. The ninth heavenly tribulation had only just descended. Based on its speed, Su Chen would have had no time to transcend it before the tenth tribulation, the Heart Tempering Tribulation, had already arrived quietly.

This was simply not giving Su Chen any chance of survival!

After an unknown amount of time had passed, whether it felt like an instant or an eternity…

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he stood atop the firmament. At this moment, he stood above the heavens, his purple robe tattered and torn, and beneath his feet was a desolate expanse of emptiness. Glancing down at his own body, he could clearly feel the nearly world-annihilating power emanating from within. He was slightly stunned.

Was this the strength of the Saint Realm? Yet this seemed somewhat too exaggerated… He felt the terrifying strength within his body surpassed even that of a great emperor. With his current power, he was afraid he could easily flatten several forbidden zones. Even that supreme existence he had encountered in the Demon Slaying Altar now seemed insignificant before him.

His vital blood essence energy had condensed to an extreme degree. Just a wisp of fluctuation spreading out caused the surrounding void to tremble, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

His divine sense was also extremely vast, spreading out like the tide. After enveloping the entire East Barrens, it continued expanding boundlessly into the distance. He could even see the Central Plains and the Southern Region where Long Wu came from!

“Can this truly be something a Saint Realm powerhouse is capable of?”

Su Chen looked down at his own hands. He did not have any delight at crossing the heavenly tribulation but rather was filled with puzzlement.

Just as he was thoroughly confused, a gentle voice transmitted over from the distance:

“Congratulations, Husband, on successfully transcending the Emperor Tribulation!”

In the distant void, several figures slowly emerged. The person leading them had a graceful bearing and was wreathed in immortal mists, revealing a world-shocking visage.

At this moment, her face was full of smiles. The smile on her exquisite, peerlessly beautiful face was very gentle and kind. Strands of black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her willow-like eyebrows curved, and her skin was fair and delicate, exuding an ethereal quality that seemed to see through the mundane world.

Su Chen looked at the woman before him, his brow furrowing even deeper, his expression filled with an unusual sense of perplexity..
