Above the heavens, the originally oppressive darkness slowly began to fade away. Golden flames spread across the void, cleansing heaven and earth.
A black meteorite slowly emerged from the dark clouds before suddenly roaring downward.
At the moment the meteorite descended, the five enormous divine statues that had originally lowered their heads slowly raised them. Five spiritual energy beams of different colors shot out simultaneously from their eyes and instantly collided head on with the black meteorite.
Boom!
A heaven shaking shockwave swept outward. The black meteorite exploded apart while the five colored spiritual light instantly scattered. The five enormous divine statues let out rumbling roars.
This scene caused all the Heavenly Sovereign experts across Sacred Abyss Continent to reveal grave expressions. From the very beginning, the might of this Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation had far exceeded everyone's expectations. If it were them facing such terrifying tribulation power themselves, the probability of successfully resisting it would likely not even reach one in ten thousand!
"As long as this child does not fall midway, he will inevitably become someone standing at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World in the future!"
At this moment, everyone developed a completely different opinion of Liu Bai, who was currently crossing the tribulation.
At this time, Lu Tong's eyes contained both tension and a trace of joy.
"It seems that our Great Thousand Palace is about to gain another super expert comparable to the Great Elder!"
Previously, Liu Bai becoming a Demon Slayer King as a Earth Sovereign had already caused quite a commotion within the Great Thousand Tower. After all, his name ranked second on the Demon Slayer Ranking, making it impossible for people not to know him.
However, after learning of Liu Bai's cultivation level, Lu Tong's feelings became extremely complicated.
Firstly, Demon Slayer King theoretically represented the highest rank within the Great Thousand Palace, yet it had ended up on the head of a junior who was not even a Heavenly Sovereign. This naturally made everyone feel unbalanced. After all, no Heavenly Sovereign was willing to let someone weaker than themselves stand above them.
But the rules had already been established. Regardless of what methods the other party had used to accomplish such an unbelievable feat, as long as it was within the rules, the Great Thousand Palace had no way to overturn it.
This placed the Great Thousand Palace in an extremely awkward position.
Most importantly, whether this person who had "luckily" become a Demon Slayer King truly possessed the strength and talent to meet the standards in people's hearts.
Just like Mu Chen in the original story. Although his strength at the time was insufficient, the talent and temperament he displayed were both first rate. More importantly, he possessed the bloodline of the Buddha Ancient Clan, had personally gained the recognition of Ancestor Buddha, and inherited the Eight Buddha. Of course, even more importantly, he also had an equally powerful blood relative backing him.
All these factors combined together determined the heights Mu Chen would eventually reach!
Otherwise, how could the Great Thousand Palace so easily acknowledge such a "Demon Slayer King," even going so far as to forcibly protect him from the Buddha Ancient Clan at all costs.
And Liu Bai's current performance was clearly even better than Mu Chen's in the original story. He had even broken through to Heavenly Sovereign immediately after leaving the Scared Ancient Abyss. As long as he could successfully break through, the Great Thousand Palace certainly would not mind acknowledging such a supreme genius possessing both talent and strength as the second Demon Slayer King!
Naturally, Liu Bai had no idea about Lu Tong and the Great Thousand Palace's thoughts.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the dark clouds above his head.
After the black meteorite descended, the dark clouds in the sky briefly fell silent. However, Liu Bai instead became even more tense, because the attacks following such accumulation were always even more terrifying.
Rumble!
Black lightning suddenly tore apart the clouds at this moment, descending in overwhelming quantities. Every single bolt contained destructive power and was terrifying to the extreme.
Liu Bai's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but very quickly, a trace of delight flashed through his heart.
A furious roar erupted from within his will. A gigantic five faced giant stood up from the dust like fragments of his physical body.
The five faced giant wore a five colored light barrier. Above its head floated five divine masks with different appearances. Endless lightning burst forth around its body. A black lotus completely condensed from Five Elements Divine Lightning slowly took shape, protecting the five faced giant within.
Bang! Bang!
Black lightning continuously descended, violently bombarding the lightning lotus. Every strike caused the latter to tremble violently while lotus petals quietly shattered one after another.
This black lightning lotus was precisely the Thunder God Lotus Liu Bai had nurtured for many years using his own Five Elements Divine Lightning. Along with the continuous increase in Liu Bai's own strength, the current Thunder God Lotus had already surpassed the category of a Saint Artifact and was gradually transforming toward an Peerless Saint Artifact.
Unfortunately, truly transcending mortality and entering sainthood was simply too difficult. Even for Liu Bai, aside from continuously tempering it with time and spiritual energy year after year, there was no other method.
And this would only become possible after he himself advanced to Heavenly Sovereign.
However, the current Liu Bai had seen a shortcut.
As the lightning continuously bombarded it, the black lightning lotus weakened without stop and had even reached the brink of destruction.
Yet in the end, it still endured Naturally, this was supported by Liu Bai's immense spiritual energy, but the incomparable compatibility of the Five Elements Divine Lightning itself was also critically important.
As the black lightning lotus slowly recovered from extreme weakness, the dark clouds in the sky also seemed to realize that the hateful fellow below was using its power to strengthen himself.
In an instant, the tribulation clouds made their choice. Like a ferocious demon enraged after being provoked, it unleashed its demonic might to its heart's content!
Didn't you want to absorb it? Then let's see whether your stomach is large enough to contain it all!
Rumble rumble!
This wave of attacks came even more violently, continuous like an endless rainstorm. Even though Liu Bai desperately circulated all his spiritual energy, he still resembled a lone boat amidst the storm, seemingly capable of being destroyed at any moment.
Rumble rumble.
Lightning continuously echoed throughout the heavens. The relentless bombardment lasted for an unknown amount of time. Although Liu Bai constantly circulated the power of the Five Elements and relied on the mutually generating properties of the Five Elements to repair the Thunder God Lotus, he ultimately still could not sustain it.
Therefore, at a certain moment, the Thunder God Lotus, which originally had hope of crossing the final step into transcendence, finally reached its limit and exploded apart.
At this moment, countless people secretly sighed in regret.
It had only been one final step away. They would have personally witnessed the birth of an Peerless Saint Artifact before their eyes. Yet in the end, it still failed to take that final step, ending in failure at the last moment!
"This child is indeed clever, actually thinking of using the power of the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation to refine his treasure. Unfortunately, he is still too overconfident. How could the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation possibly be so easily exploited?"
A Heavenly Sovereign said with a cold sneer in his voice.
Although the talent and strength Liu Bai displayed truly forced them to acknowledge him, many people still wanted to watch him make a fool of himself because of such "arrogant" behavior.
Among everyone present, only Lu Tong remained calm. He glanced at Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao, who had just spoken, before shifting his gaze toward the endless lightning in the sky. The corners of his lips carried a faintly amused expression.
Above the heavens, the lightning gradually dissipated.
A golden seed was born from within the boundless lightning radiance. The dazzling golden light caused even the numerous Heavenly Sovereign experts present to involuntarily narrow their eyes.
"This brat really succeeded…"
Upon seeing that golden lightning seed, the smile on Lu Tong's face finally blossomed.
"The seed of the lightning lotus has already been planted. Once it blooms in the future, it will certainly become another powerful demon suppressing treasure!"
This scene also caused embarrassment to appear on Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao's face. After all, he had only just mocked the other party a moment ago, only to be slapped in the face immediately afterward. This reversal had happened far too quickly.
If he had known earlier, he would not have voiced his dissatisfaction no matter how unhappy he felt inside.
Adjusting his expression, Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao immediately changed the topic and said, "There are only four stages to the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation. It seems this little fellow is about to successfully pass through it."
However, before he could finish speaking.
Buzz buzz.
Everyone suddenly sensed unusual movement coming from within the dark clouds in the sky.
Suddenly raising their heads, everyone saw the dark clouds above the heavens rapidly contracting toward a single direction. A few breaths later, the clouds completely disappeared, replaced by a black void.
Everyone: …
When that black void slowly descended and locked onto Liu Bai, everyone looked toward Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao as though they were looking at the world's greatest jinx.
"Damn it! Why is there still a fifth tribulation?!"
At this moment, Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao was even more furious than Liu Bai himself!
It was as though his face was being slapped repeatedly from both sides!
"If this old man speaks again, I'm a dog!"
Cursing fiercely in his heart, the ashen faced Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao decided that he would not utter another single word!
Liu Bai, however, was not too surprised by this scene. After all, even Mu Chen in the original story had attracted the final fifth tribulation lightning of the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation. Not to mention Liu Bai's earlier outrageous actions, he had practically offended the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation to death.
Looking at the black void descending from the sky, Liu Bai's thoughts moved. The enormous five faced giant in the sky let out a furious roar and directly smashed a punch toward the void.
Silently and soundlessly. When the gigantic fist covered in five colored spiritual light landed on the black void, the latter trembled slightly. Then boundless black light spread out from its pitch black center, covering the arm of the five faced giant at an unimaginable speed.
Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, the Five Spirit Light Shield that had resisted heavenly water, heavenly fire, falling heavenly stars, and endless divine lightning was effortlessly melted away.
Everything seemed silent, yet every Heavenly Sovereign expert present broke out in cold sweat!
"This little fellow won't really stop here, right?"
Without realizing it, Red Flame Old Immortal had placed himself in Liu Bai's position and actually felt a trace of despair.
Although the feeling vanished in an instant, it still caused his heart to tremble.
Could anyone truly survive such terrifying tribulation power?
At this moment, even Lu Tong could not help frowning.
Liu Bai himself also felt somewhat nervous. After all, this was the first time he had encountered something capable of dissolving his Five Elements Origin Power so easily.
However, he quickly steadied his mind. Then his entire consciousness fused with the Five Spirits Deity Celestial Body, fully controlling the Five Emperor Bodies to continuously resist the erosion of the black void.
In this way, the situation actually entered a stalemate.
Black light descended while the five colored spiritual light gradually dimmed. In the end, the five faced giant rapidly transformed into nothingness starting from its head.
Liu Bai stared at this scene, yet his eyes slowly closed, as though waiting for his fate to arrive. In truth, however, his mind had completely fused together with the Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body.
A trace of enlightenment arose within his heart.
Black light enveloped everything. In only a short moment, the five faced giant completely turned into nothingness beneath the black light. Immediately afterward, Liu Bai's half reconstructed physical body also dissipated beneath the illumination of the black light.
Thus, beneath the chaotic heavens, Liu Bai's figure completely vanished, as though he had turned into nothingness beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation.
"Is it over?"
Heavenly Sovereign Yun Xiao, who had just sworn not to speak, quietly muttered a sentence.
Yet at this moment, there was no longer any schadenfreude in his heart. Instead, there was only faint disappointment.
After all, personally witnessing the fall of a supreme genius of the Great Thousand World naturally caused one to sigh with emotion.
Unfortunately for him, it seemed as though the heavens were deliberately opposing him today. The instant his words fell, a heartbeat like vibration suddenly echoed across the originally empty heavens.
The five gigantic divine statues, which had already lost their spiritual light and resembled lifeless objects, suddenly raised their heads once more. A streak of five colored spiritual light abruptly appeared where their gazes converged.
Thump, thump…
A seal formed from the purest Five Elements Origin Power appeared before everyone's eyes, then actually began beating like a heart.
And with every beat, the purest chaos power gathered from the heavens above, then was transformed and absorbed by the Five Elements Spiritual Seal.
A human figure slowly began taking shape under the convergence of energy.
Long before Liu Bai began undergoing the Heavenly Sovereign Tribulation, outside the void of Saint Abyss Continent, before an enormous spatial crack.
Gigantic demon shadows rampaged throughout the pitch black space.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had absolutely no room for existence here. Everything was filled with endless pitch black demonic energy.
"Someone is actually breaking through to Heavenly Sovereign on Saint Abyss Continent. How interesting…"
Within the darkness, a terrifying demon shadow raised its head toward the outside of the crack, looking through countless layers of space toward Liu Bai's location.
"He truly is acting without restraint. Is he not placing us in his eyes?"
"Oh? Since that is the case, why don't you go give him a little lesson?"
"Why don't you go yourself? Are you afraid of those so called Heavenly Sovereigns? Or perhaps afraid of the Great Thousand Palace…"
Terrifying demonic thoughts exchanged within the darkness. However, every Demon Emperor had their own schemes, so all of them merely coldly watched from the sidelines and spoke sarcastically. As for actually making a move directly, not a single one did so.
Still, every Demon Emperor knew that now was not the right time to interfere. Thus, they were all merely probing each other, hoping some fool would volunteer to become the sacrificial pawn.
And when the true opportunity arrived, there would naturally be Demon Emperors interested in that newly born Heavenly Sovereign.
