Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 264 The Heavenly Calamity Arrives, Ten Thousand People Are Shocked!

Within the secret chamber.

Xiao Yi was surrounded by dazzling, multicolored lights, radiating an otherworldly divine presence.

He stood suspended in midair.

With every step he took, the ground trembled, and the air seemed to solidify around him.

A massive Golden Core floated above his head, marked with nine Daopatterns.

There was one pattern for each of the Five Elements.

And two patterns for Yin and Yang respectively.

A total of nine Daopatterns were imprinted on the Golden Core, yet it hadn't transformed into a Martial Dao Divine Fruit. Right after thoroughly shattering the Golden Elixir Halo and condensing the Daopatterns, Xiao Yi sensed the approaching Celestial Tribulation.

Typically speaking.

The Celestial Tribulation only appeared after one had broken through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

But now...

Xiao Yi, having just stepped into the Tao Tribulation Realm, had actually triggered the Celestial Tribulation.

This took Xiao Yi somewhat by surprise.

Enveloped in light, Xiao Yi looked toward Dongfang Kuang, who had been blasted away by his aura, and said in a deep voice, "Senior, open the chamber's exit quickly, I must transcend the tribulation!"

He could sense that the Celestial Tribulation would descend in just an hour.

If he continued to stay in the secret chamber, he feared that the entire Dongfang Family estate would be leveled to the ground.

"What the hell? You're going to transcend the tribulation?" Dongfang Kuang stared at Xiao Yi blankly, unable to believe what he was hearing.

To transcend the tribulation!

He had never heard of anyone needing to transcend a tribulation just for breaking through to the Tao Tribulation Realm!

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, do you think I have the time to joke with you? In an hour, the Celestial Tribulation will arrive. Open the chamber so I can leave, otherwise, your Dongfang Family will be implicated..."

"Holy shit!"

Dongfang Kuang was stunned, speechless.

He felt as if his nearly a thousand years of life had been in vain.

A few years ago, Xiao Tianjiao appeared, mastering the Five Element Daopatterns alone and creating shock and admiration as the new surpasses the old in an ever-evolving wave.

But now...

It hadn't been long before Xiao Yi emerged.

He broke the records set by Xiao Tianjiao, which seemed impossible to surpass, and he even condensed the unprecedented Yin Yang and Five Element Daopatterns. Look at the Golden Core floating above Xiao Yi's head, shining with ten thousand zhang of light!

That's no ordinary Golden Core!

Who has ever seen a Golden Core larger than a Martial Dao Divine Fruit?

Who has seen a Golden Core condensed with the Yin Yang and Five Element Daopatterns?

Who has seen a Golden Core that can bring about the Celestial Tribulation?

This is simply a divine pill, for goodness' sake!

Dongfang Kuang felt today's experiences could become bragging rights for him in front of others in the future.

With myriad thoughts in his mind, Dongfang Kuang's actions were swift. He led the way, his voice resolute, "Your current state cannot be directly exposed in the imperial capital, or it would attract unnecessary trouble. I have a secret passage that leads directly to Great Liang Mountain. Quick, follow me!"

The four major noble families had been operating in the imperial capital for many years.

Naturally, they had retreat routes for their families.

This secret passage...

Only the ancestors of the Dharma Phase Realm Peak were privy to it, not even the head of the Dongfang family knew; it was only to be used when the Dongfang Family faced the threat of extinction. But now, Dongfang Kuang had opened this passage, sealed for countless ages, for Xiao Yi.

Dongfang Kuang, with his cultivation at the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, led the way, and Xiao Yi followed closely behind.

The brilliant, multicolored light from Xiao Yi illuminated the entire passage as if it were day.

His speed was in no way inferior to Dongfang Kuang, surprising him slightly, "It's no wonder he's a monster who has mastered seven types of natural forces of both Yin Yang and the Five Elements simultaneously. Just breaking through to the Tao Tribulation Realm he can draw forth the Celestial Tribulation; I can't even imagine what it will be like when he steps into the Dharma Manifestation Realm!"

If it had been before...

Rushing from the imperial capital to Great Liang Mountain at full speed would have taken Xiao Yi three to four hours.

But now...

His speed had increased several-fold, and with the shortcut the secret passage offered, they arrived at Great Liang Mountain in just half an hour.

The secret passage's exit was hidden behind a waterfall.

Blocked by a huge rock.

Dongfang Kuang lifted the boulder, quickly exiting, and almost at the moment he left the passage, the dazzling light ripped through, creating a booming sound. The massive waterfall, cascading down thousands of feet, was forcefully torn apart.

The flow of the entire waterfall was intercepted.

It surged backward.

Crash!

The water below the cascade surged rebelliously toward the heavens.

The roaring sound was unceasing.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi rushed out from the secret passage and stood suspended in midair, his body enveloped in increasingly brilliant light. He gave Dongfang Kuang a fist salute, "Thank you, senior. I will find a place to transcend the tribulation. I will visit to express my gratitude another day!"

"Go quickly!"

Dongfang Kuang, who had once experienced the Celestial Tribulation himself, nodded hurriedly, "I will protect you from afar, doing my best to prevent any disturbances during your breakthrough!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Without another word, Xiao Yi soared into the sky.

The light around him grew even more radiant, expanding from its initial ten zhang.

A hundred zhang.

A thousand zhang.

Ten thousand zhang...

Even from hundreds of kilometers away in the imperial capital, one could see in the skies above Great Liang Mountain a resplendent and orb-like rainbow of light floating and bobbing. Above this orb of light, in the void, black clouds churned and thunder and lightning roared.

It was a scene similar to the coming of the apocalypse.

In the imperial capital.

"What is that?"

"Such beautiful radiance... Could it be that a treasured light is emerging?"

"That direction seems to be Great Liang Mountain? Could it be that a powerful monster is about to breakthrough to the sixth tier? But that's not right either. How could breaking through to the sixth tier create such a massive commotion?"

"Could it be that someone is about to breakthrough to the Dharma Manifestation Realm?"

"Very likely! Have you forgotten when Xiao Tianjiao broke through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, he triggered a Heavenly Tribulation that spanned a hundred miles..."

The disturbance from the direction of Great Liang Mountain naturally attracted the prying eyes of countless powerhouses.

Within the palace.

Emperor Qian suddenly opened his eyes, beams of light shooting from his pupils as if piercing through ancient void space, gazing in the direction of Great Liang Mountain. A hint of shock flickered across his eyes, "Is someone undergoing tribulation? So close to the imperial capital, could it be that one of the four major clans is stepping into the Dharma Manifestation Realm?"

"Old Dog!"

Emperor Qian gave a cold command.

"Your Majesty!"

The old eunuch always standing by with his hands down approached.

Emperor Qian gazed at him and said solemnly, "You, go to Great Liang Mountain with the Dragon Guards immediately. If it is one of those four family clans, you know what to do, right?"

"This servant understands!"

The old eunuch respectfully withdrew, stepped out of the palace gate, and soared into the sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Inside the palace, four figures suddenly shot up into the sky, closely following him. At this moment, the old eunuch bore no trace of his servility before Emperor Qian. Right now, his Qi-Blood surged like a dragon and tiger.

Behind him, the four Dragon Guards were all at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm.

Inside the Dongfang Family.

Dongfang Jin gazed in the direction of Great Liang Mountain, his expression slightly changing, "What's happening?"

The Nangong Family.

The Ximen Family.

The Beitang Family.

Treasure Pavilion.

Combat Pavilion.

The branches of the top ten sects in the imperial capital...

Countless powerhouses from the imperial capital's forces soared into the air, rushing toward Great Liang Mountain.

In the void.

Countless powerhouses encountered each other, among them was Yang Jin, the head of the Tianjian Sect's division in the imperial capital. Grinning at Xue Wuhen flying beside him, he joked, "Pavilion Master Xue, are you also interested in joining in on the excitement?"

Xue Wuhen glanced at him and replied indifferently, "I've been trapped at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm for many years. Perhaps observing this Heavenly Tribulation will give me some enlightenment, and I might even step into the Dharma Manifestation Realm!"

"Hahaha, that punch from the Saint Heir back then really did give you a hard time!" Yang Jin laughed heartily.

Xue Wuhen snorted coldly, his expression indifferent, "Xiao Tianjiao's record in my Combat Pavilion has been broken, have you passed on the news to him? Knowing his record has been surpassed, he must be feeling quite uncomfortable, right?"

"You..."

Yang Jin's face darkened.

Xiao Tianjiao was indeed extremely enraged upon learning that his record had been broken, and the whole Tianjian Sect was greatly upset.

Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

In the eyes of the Tianjian Sect...

Xiao Tianjiao was perfect, flawless. Anyone breaking his record was seen as defiling his perfection.

Xue Wuhen sneered, speaking lightly, "The fact proves Xiao Tianjiao is not invincible. There are many Tianjiaos in the world, and there are still people who can surpass him!"

In his mind, the image of Xiao Yi surfaced, and he thought to himself Privately he thought, if Xiao Tianjiao knew that the one who broke his record was that brother he considered a disgrace, I wonder what he would think?

Yang Jin snorted coldly and quickened his pace to widen the gap between them.

The crowd drew closer and closer to Great Liang Mountain.

Within Great Liang Mountain, the monsters began fleeing en masse to the outside.

From the weaker first-tier monsters to the powerful fifth-tier ones, all were fleeing in panic.

Only some high-level fifth-tier, even sixth-tier monsters, remained in Great Liang Mountain. Heavenly Tribulation represents both destruction and opportunity. If one could glean understanding from it, there might be a chance to take the final step.

Of course...

If the one undergoing the tribulation were to be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation, they could have a share of the spoils!

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold!

This applies to both humans and monsters alike!

Boom rumble!

The closer to Great Liang Mountain, the clearer the dreadful nature of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The black clouds in the sky roiled incessantly, a dark expanse where one could faintly hear thunder and see flashes of lightning. The terrifying momentum was so oppressive it made it difficult to breathe. These Tribulation clouds had already covered a hundred-mile range and still showed no signs of stopping.

Before the thunder struck, the fierce winds had already begun.

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

A terrifying storm swept across the vast Great Liang Mountain, uprooting countless grasses and trees, lifting sand and rocks. River water was drawn up into the sky, like a dragon leaving the sea, connecting heaven and earth, with fierce winds howling as if it were doomsday!

Gurgle!

"Back when Xiao Tianjiao broke through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, his tribulation only spanned a hundred miles. Xiao Yi is just breaking through the Tao Tribulation Realm, and it's already beyond a hundred miles..."

Even from dozens of miles away, Dongfang Kuang still felt his heart skip a beat. Clenching his fists, he murmured to himself, "Are the Xiao Family brothers fated rivals? Is Xiao Yi intent on breaking even Xiao Tianjiao's record for the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Time swiftly passed by.

All of a sudden...

The Tribulation clouds had already enveloped over two hundred miles of the sky.

It was like the end of days.

And just then...

Xiao Yi suddenly looked up, squinting at the thunder rolling and the storm howling in the Heavenly Tribulation above, "Is it finally coming?"
