Chapter 58, Breakthrough in Cultivation, Heavenly Tribulation Approaching! [Seeking monthly votes! P
Elder Yaoguang carefully put the jade slip away from his body and took a deep breath.
He had already made up his mind that after the banquet today, he must personally report to the Holy Lord and request that the entire Holy Land reassess the threat level of this Yaochi Holy Son.
It seems that the report given by the Dragon Transformation Elder from the Holy Land earlier was not an exaggeration, but was indeed true.
The disciples of Yaoguang behind him kept their heads down, not daring to breathe.
At the Jiang family's table.
The elder of the Jiang family sighed deeply, lamenting, "The primordial Dao embryo had not yet entered the four poles, yet it had already conceived the rudiments of extraordinary phenomena..."
"Moreover, she possesses combat strength of at least the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm. Yaochi has truly struck gold this time."
Jiang Yifei's expression remained calm.
In his view, this result was nothing short of expected.
He had seen Su Ye in action back in the Yan Kingdom and knew then that this boy's combat strength could not be judged by ordinary standards.
Now, Su Ye's forceful defeat of the God King Body in front of numerous forces is merely a confirmation of his initial judgment.
Jiang Caixuan, however, wasn't so deep. She asked softly, "Brother Yifei, which do you think is stronger, his or the Purple Mansion Saintess's innate Dao embryo?"
Jiang Yifei withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said softly, "Although the Dao embryos are the same, the Daos are different."
"what?"
Jiang Caixuan was clearly not satisfied with this answer.
"Brother Yifei, could you please stop saying such mysterious things every time?"
Jiang Yifei smiled helplessly and said, "Now it's clear that the Holy Son of Yaochi is stronger."
"but……"
He then changed the subject, continuing, "The path of cultivation is long; today's strength or weakness does not represent eternity."
"The innate Dao embryo is just the starting point; the key is how to walk the path."
Jiang Caixuan snorted and said, "Anyway, I think this Yaochi Holy Son is much more powerful than the Purple Mansion Holy Maiden."
Jiang Yifei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Just as the various factions were discussing the matter, a figure stood up from the demon race's seat.
The Peacock King.
He bowed to the Queen Mother of the West and said, "Queen Mother, today's events were caused by the disobedience of a junior member of my demon race, who disturbed the grand banquet at Yaochi. It is my fault for not disciplining him properly."
After these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent for a moment.
Who is the Peacock King?
That was a powerful demon race figure who was famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness a thousand years ago, a top-tier existence at the second level of the Sendai realm, and a ruthless individual who once fought against several Saint Lord-level beings without defeat.
Such a person publicly apologized to the Queen Mother of the West, which was an incredibly humble gesture.
The Queen Mother of the West remained calm, slightly raised her hand, and said with a faint smile, "It's just youthful impetuosity among the younger generation, which is inevitable."
"King Peacock, please don't worry about it. Please take a seat."
His tone was calm and his words were not sarcastic, which gave the demon race a lot of face.
The Peacock King nodded, then turned to look at the Golden-Winged Roc King, who was still standing beside the demon clan's seats, his gaze turning stern: "Step down now!"
Golden-Winged Roc King stiffened slightly, his face turning pale and then flushed.
Losing to Su Ye was already a great humiliation, but now he was being publicly reprimanded by the Peacock King. Where could he put his face, given his pride and arrogance?
But in the end, he didn't dare to argue back.
The Peacock King had already exhausted his tolerance for him at the banquet; if he said another word, the consequences would be unbearable.
He gritted his teeth, turned around and went back to his seat, plopped down, and lowered his head, no longer looking at anyone.
But the frustration on his face was impossible to hide.
It's one thing for him to lose to Su Ye.
His cultivation at the second level of the fourth realm was actually defeated by a fifth-level Dao Palace cultivator who defied the laws of immortality.
If this gets out, Golden-Winged Roc King will definitely become a laughing stock in the Eastern Wilderness.
But now even Ji Haoyue has been defeated, and the defeat was even more devastating than his.
The Divine King's Body, the Bright Moon Rising from the Sea, the Void Scripture...
They were all equipped with top-notch features, yet they were still suppressed with a single palm strike.
In this way, it actually makes the Golden-Winged Roc King seem not so bad after all.
After all, even the Divine King Body of the Ji family was defeated, so the failure of him, the young master of the Tianpeng clan, doesn't seem so shameful.
wrong.
This contrast did not make the Golden-Winged Roc King feel better; on the contrary, it made him feel even more aggrieved.
Because he suddenly realized something.
Su Ye didn't use his full strength when he fought him.
The Golden-Winged Roc King was unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and secretly glanced at the chief of the demon race.
Yan Ruyu sat upright on the futon, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, her profile as beautiful as jade.
Her gaze fell on the figure in purple, a faint smile playing on her lips.
We can't just give up like this!
The Golden-Winged Roc King made his decision: this time, upon returning to his ancestral homeland, he would venture into the Ancestor Trial, a place where even his grandfather had nearly perished and from which no one had emerged alive for centuries!
After the Peacock King took his seat, the atmosphere in the room eased slightly.
Although the Queen Mother of the West did not reveal any of her cultivation level from beginning to end.
But everyone knows that the true cultivation level of this Yaochi Holy Lord has already reached the peak of the second level of the Immortal Platform, and is only one step away from the Dao Severing Realm.
"Let's discuss and debate, but stop when we've reached a point."
"The Ji family's divine body is in its initial stages of formation, with a solid foundation. The extraordinary phenomenon of the bright moon rising over the sea is already taking shape, and its future potential for the divine body to reach its full potential is limitless."
The Queen Mother of the West turned her gaze to the Ji family's seat and nodded slightly: "The Ji family has a worthy successor."
The Ji family elder quickly stood up, clasped his hands in return, and said, "You flatter me, Queen Mother."
"Haoyue has benefited greatly from the Holy Son's guidance today. Even this old man is filled with awe at the Holy Son of Yaochi!"
The Queen Mother of the West did not linger on this topic.
Although Yaochi is powerful today, it will not become arrogant because of this, nor will it take advantage of its strength to bully others.
"The exchange is over, the banquet continues."
The female disciples of Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief, while the rogue cultivators whispered among themselves, reviewing the two battles that had just taken place.
The elders of the various factions also raised their glasses, making a gesture of rejoining the banquet.
It seems that everything has returned to normal.
However, just as everyone's attention shifted from the fierce battle that had just taken off—
An unusual fluctuation emanated from Su Ye.
The first to notice was the Queen Mother of the West.
Her gaze shifted, and she stared intently at Su Ye.
Next came the Peacock King, Yao Jin, the elders of the Ji family, the elders of the Jiang family...
Almost simultaneously, all the Sendai Realm experts present changed their expressions.
The attack that Su Ye used to defeat Ji Haoyue had pushed his spirit and energy to their peak, and the five divine treasures within his body resonated with each other as his power was pushed to its limit.
At that moment, the five internal organs and the five elements formed a perfect cycle.
The cycle hasn't stopped yet; instead, it's running on its own and getting faster and faster.
Suddenly, a dazzling purple divine light emanated from Su Ye's body.
The Daoist essence of the innate Dao embryo spread out with unprecedented intensity, creating a profound resonance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
"This...this is about to be a breakthrough?!"
A rogue cultivator exclaimed in surprise.
"No! Look at the sky!"
Everyone looked up.
The sky directly above the banquet hall, which had been a clear blue, suddenly darkened.
A black cloud surged in from all directions, gathering above Yaochi at an incredible speed.
Faint flashes of lightning flickered within, like silver snakes surging and weaving through the inky clouds.
The lightning wasn't the usual white or gold; it had a hint of purple.
Suddenly, the world fell silent.
The chirping of insects and birds all disappeared, and even the wind stopped.
"Heavenly Tribulation..."
The elder of the Jiang family murmured, his voice filled with disbelief.
"The Dao Palace has shattered the four cardinal directions, actually triggering a heavenly tribulation?!"
Not all cultivators who break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm will be subject to a Heavenly Tribulation.
Heavenly tribulations are proof of "demonic nature".
Only those geniuses whose combat power far surpasses that of their peers and who touch or even break through the "forbidden number" barrier will trigger the will of heaven and earth to send down a tribulation of lightning when breaking through to the Great Secret Realm.
Encountering a heavenly tribulation is a rare occurrence throughout history.
Those who can attract heavenly tribulations when entering the Four Extremes are all peerless geniuses who can go very far in the struggle for the Emperor's Road.
As a congenital Dao embryo, Su Ye possessed at least five forbidden combat strengths at the fifth level of the Dao Palace. His solid foundation and heaven-defying combat power far surpassed those of ordinary geniuses.
It's not surprising that he triggered a heavenly tribulation when he broke through the four extremes; on the contrary, it was only natural.
The issue is……
"The scale of this cloud is... too huge."
Elder Yaoguang looked up at the increasingly thick, dark clouds of tribulation, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.
He had seen the tribulation clouds of the Four Extremes Realm, and even witnessed the scene of the Holy Son undergoing tribulation in the Four Extremes Realm once.
Although the tribulation cloud in front of them was not yet fully formed, the immense pressure of heaven and earth contained within it had already made some of the dragon-transformation cultivators present feel short of breath and have difficulty breathing.
And this is just the prelude.
Su Ye raised his head, looking at the dark thunderclouds above him, his expression solemn.
He could sense a force locking onto him within the tribulation clouds.
That was the gaze of the will of heaven and earth, the scrutiny and test of him by the laws of the Great Dao.
He withdrew his gaze, and the five divine treasures within his body roared and circulated, with the light of the five elements flashing alternately around him.
Purple innate divine power surged forth from the depths of the Sea of Bitterness, ascending along the divine bridge, penetrating the five internal organs, and flowing to the limbs.
The threshold to the four extremes is right before our eyes.
The calamity cloud in the sky had completely taken shape.
Lightning surged deep within the clouds.
The first bolt of heavenly lightning...
It's about to fall!
