Chapter 151: The Demon Emperor's Breakthrough
The dark red energy sphere, like the sweetest poison, was swallowed by the Demon Emperor without the slightest defense. Instantly, an unimaginably vast and mighty energy violently erupted within her!
This was no gentle nourishment. It was like shoving an on-the-verge-of-eruption volcano directly into her meridians. The violent, chaotic, primal devouring energy of the abyss, like countless out-of-control venomous dragons, rampaged and wreaked havoc within her colossal body.
"ROAR—!"
The Demon Emperor let out a shriek interwoven with agony and ecstasy. Her gigantic body thrashed and convulsed violently within the oceanic trench, churning up clouds of seabed sediment and stirring powerful undercurrents.
The abyssal energy clashed and fused with the impure Soul Power she had accumulated through devouring, bringing heart-rending agony. Yet, in stark contrast, her previously weakened aura—due to her injuries—was soaring at a terrifying rate!
870,000 years... 880,000 years... 890,000 years... The barrier of the bottleneck seemed so fragile under the assault of this external reinforcement. The Demon Emperor felt a shackle that had confined her for years shatter in a soundless, thunderous crash!
BOOM!
An aura far more immense and savage than before erupted from her, forcibly pushing away the surrounding seawater to form a brief vacuum. The crimson light in her single eye blazed intensely, brimming with the thrill of destruction and newfound power.
"Power... This is greater power! Hahaha!" The Demon Emperor's spiritual fluctuation was frenzied with excitement. She could clearly feel her cultivation breaking through a crucial barrier, stepping into an entirely new realm—900,000 years!
However, for Soul Beasts Defying the Heavens Cultivation, the heavenly tribulation that strikes every 100,000 years is the universe's merciless judgment upon those who overstep their bounds. Almost the very instant the Demon Emperor broke through the 900,000-year bottleneck, an ominous, terrifying presence from the unseen realms had firmly locked onto her.
High above the deep sea, the originally clear sky darkened at a visible pace. It wasn't merely overcast with clouds; it was as if the entire firmament had pressed down several notches. A heart-palpitating sense of oppression enveloped the sea for hundreds of miles.
Crackle—!
Countless fine electric serpents were the first to dart through the low-hanging clouds, emitting a teeth-grating sound. Immediately, these serpents rapidly converged and merged, transforming into thick bolts of lightning flickering within the ink-black tribulation clouds.
The range of the tribulation clouds continuously expanded, their color deepening from ink-black to a dark purple that seemed capable of devouring all light. The central area slowly rotated, forming a massive vortex. Deep within the vortex, destructive energy was frantically accumulating, radiating a terrifying pressure that made Sea Soul Beasts tremble even thousands of miles away.
The sea surface grew restless. Towering waves rose without wind, yet were suppressed by the The invisible power of heaven and earth, unable to roar freely, only letting out muffled groans. The light across the entire sea area dimmed, as if night had fallen prematurely. Only the pale white lightning constantly flashing within the clouds occasionally illuminated this scene of apocalyptic descent.
In the territory of the Merfolk Clan, the Coral City.
Having just concluded a major battle, the Sea Princess was conversing with Chen Yunshen in the clan's great hall. Both sides were learning about each other's situations and discussing how to deal with the threat of the Demon Emperor.

In the territory of the Merfolk Clan, the Coral City.
Having just concluded a major battle, the Sea Princess was conversing with Chen Yunshen in the clan's great hall. Both sides were learning about each other's situations and discussing how to deal with the threat of the Demon Emperor.
Although the Sea Princess's face remained pale, her aura had stabilized considerably after taking the clan's treasured healing Holy Medicine. Chen Yunshen, however, wore a grave expression as he recounted the history and duties of the Sea God Family, as well as his concerns regarding beings like the Demon Emperor.
Suddenly, both of them almost simultaneously stopped speaking. They sharply turned their heads, their gazes seemingly piercing through the coral palace's dome, looking towards the direction of the distant sea.
All color instantly drained from the Sea Princess's exquisitely beautiful face, leaving her even paler than when she was injured. Her azure-blue eyes were filled with disbelief.
As a Soul Beast, she was all too familiar with the pressure of the heavenly laws descending—this was a heavenly tribulation! And one far more terrifying than the 600,000-year tribulation she had experienced herself!
"This aura... it's a heavenly tribulation! A Soul Beast is undergoing a tribulation in the distance!" The Sea Princess's voice carried a barely perceptible tremor. She stared fixedly in that direction, feeling the oppressive force that made her soul tremble even across such a vast distance. "Such magnitude... could it be... a 900,000-year tribulation?!"
In this direction, within this vast sea, the being whose cultivation was closest to 900,000 years, who had just experienced a major battle, and who was Highly likely to seek a breakthrough in desperation—there was only one such existence!
"This tribulation... could it be that the Demon Emperor has broken through?!" the Sea Princess exclaimed involuntarily, her heart instantly sinking to the depths.
Although Chen Yunshen's perception of a Soul Beast's heavenly tribulation was not as acute as the Sea Princess's, he could still clearly feel the vast, boundless destructive pressure emanating from the heavens. Hearing the Sea Princess's exclamation, his expression also changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up from his seat.
"What? A 900,000-year tribulation? The Demon Emperor broke through?!" Chen Yunshen's voice was full of shock and bewilderment. "How is that possible?! Although the Demon Emperor was powerful before, she should still have been some distance from the 900,000-year bottleneck! In the previous battle, she was clearly severely wounded by me. How could she not only recover in such a short time but also break through a major barrier?"
This completely defied reason. For Soul Beasts, advancing in cultivation, especially at levels above 100,000 years, required Long time and Opportunity for every 10,000 years of accumulation. How could she achieve an instant breakthrough while heavily injured?
The Sea Princess took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She closed her eyes, carefully sensing the increasingly distinct fluctuation of the heavenly laws in the distance. After a few breaths, she reopened her eyes, now filled with certainty.
"There's no mistake, Clan Head Chen," the Sea Princess said, her voice tinged with gravity. "Although we don't know what sinister method the Demon Emperor used, judging by the scale of the gathering tribulation clouds and the pressure contained within, it is undoubtedly a 900,000-year tribulation. In this sea area, besides her, there is no other being whose cultivation could attract such a tribulation."
With this confirmation from the powerful Soul Beast herself, Chen Yunshen, no matter how incredible in his heart, could only accept this The harsh reality. His fists clenched involuntarily, his knuckles turning white from the force. An unfathomable gloom settled over his brow.
He spoke in a low tone, carrying resolve: "We absolutely cannot allow her to pass through this tribulation safely! A 900,000-year tribulation is immensely powerful. Even though the Demon Emperor's strength has greatly increased, the process of enduring the tribulation will be extremely perilous. Even if she lucky survives, she will Must be severely weakened, entering an unprecedented period of vulnerability!"
Chen Yunshen's gaze sharpened like a blade as he looked at the Sea Princess. "Sea Princess, this is our best chance, and perhaps our last! We must find her when she is at her weakest after the tribulation and exert our full strength to Completely solve her!"
"Otherwise, if she truly withstands the tribulation and recovers her strength, with her 900,000-year cultivation and that crazy nature, the entire ocean... I fear will truly know no peace!"
